FOUND DEAD IN ROAD.
Prominent Lamoine Man Overcome
by Heart Disease While Driving.

by Heart Disease While Driving.
| North LAMorNE, June 8 Especially The
sudden death OF Frederick M. Austin on
Saturday was q shock to the community.
Mr.. Austin went out in the morning In
his usual health to cut bean poles near the
Christie place on the Cove road, leaving
his team beside the road. Several times
he was heard by Mr.. Christie calling to his
horse, which was restless and wanted to
feed. The horse, it is supposed, finally got
into the ditch and fell.
It is believed Mr.. Austin fastened out,
and had partially loosed the horse from
the blackboard when he fell backward,
where he was found dead shortly before
noon by Thomas Walker, who was pass
ing. Death was evidently due to heart
failure resulting from over-exertion and
excitement. There was not Q bruise on
the body.
When Mr.. Walker discovered the body,
the horse had cleared itself from the
wagon and gone home. The horses ar
rival there alarmed Mrs. Austin, and q
team was Immediately sent to discover the
cause, meeting Mr.. Walker, who was hur-
rying to notify them.
Mr.. Austin was seventy-three years Of
age. He was kind husband and father,
an obliging neighbor, with genial dis
position and pleasant word for all. He
read great deal, was well posted on the
current events and an interesting CONVEX
sationalist. Much sympathy is expressed
for the wife, as she has always been very
dependent.
He leaves beside the widow two sons
Artell, OF Bar Harbor, and George, of Els
worth; one daughter-Mrs. Susie Warren,
OF Boston; and one sister-Mrs. L. A. Aus
tine, OF East Lamoine, and q brother
William, who resides here. Ali have the
sympathy OF the entire community.
Funeral services were held at the home
at O'Clock to-day, Rev. P. A. A. Killam,
of Ellsworth, officiating, assisted by Rev.
w. II. Rice.

Paper Made by Wasp.

Ewasps are wonderful papermakers.
They make real paper, too, just as truly as
human papermakers.
wasp flies to flower and covers the
front Of its body with the dust Of a bios
som. This is moistened and mixed with
the wax which is secreted on the surface Of
the wasp's body. Then the insect repairs
to an old fence or other piece OF weather.
worn wood that has lose, fuzzy, fibrous
surface.
The wasp rubs itself on this hbrous
matter Just as it did on the dust OF the
flower, and layer Of such matter adheres
to the insects body and becomes mingled
with wax in the same way.
Then away goes the wasp to the nest
which it is building, places itself Just on
the spot where it wants the layer OF paper
to lie and then works itself into heat by
a furions motion OF the wings, SO that the
wax is moistenei next to the body, when
the paper drops of in the right place,
where it may be adjusted properly and
fastened.
The paper OF the wasp is as much paper
ss the product of the paper mill.

Ten cent lessons for brides embody Yienna's latest effort to turn out effi- cient housewives, The course. which Is known as the "Brautkurse" is given at tho Vienna Urania, a sort of people s university. subsidized by the ministry of education.
 There are eleven groups of lessons. each group consisting of four to seven lectures. Single tickets are issued at the equivalent of ten cents each. An idea of how thorough and far-reaohing are the lectures may be gathered from the, following list of subjects The housewife in the kitchen, winter and summer foods. how to guard the family health, care of the bath, dress and fash lon. cosmetics, how woman should look after her body. the bringing up of the children. the mother as her chill dren's first teacher how a woman can guard against overcharges in making purchases, womans place in tho home, woman's position in regard to servants, what women read

Conclusion


 Congress should fully realize the con ditiOns which obtain Tn the world as We find ourselves at the threshold of our middle age as nation. We have emerged fully grown as peer in the great concourse of nations We have been self centered in the struggle to develop our domestic resources and deal with our domestic questions. The nation is now too mature 10 continue in it's foreign relations those tempor- ary expedients natural to people to whom domestic affairs are the sole con cern. In the past our diplomacy has often consisted, in normal times, in a mere assertion of the right to inter national existence. We are now in a larger relation with broader rights of our own and obligations to others than ourselves.
 A number of great guiding princi- pics were laid down carly in the his tory of this government. The recent task of our diplomacy has been to adjust those principles to the conditions of today. to develop their corollaries. to find practical applications of the old principles expanded to meet the new situations. Thus are being evolved bases upon which can rest the super structure of policies which must grow with the destined progress of this na-
 
 foreign relations demands broad and modern view We cannot meet new questions nor build for the future if we connne ourselves to outWorn dog mas of the past and to the perspec- tive appropriate at our einereence from colonial times and conditions. The opening Of the Panama canal will mark a new era in our international life and create new and world wide con- ditions which. with their vast corre- lations and consequences. will obtain for hundreds of years to come We must not STait for events to over take US unawares. With continuity of purpose we must deal with the prob lems of our external relations by a diplomacy modern. resourccful. mag unanimous and fittingiy expressive of the high ideals Of great nation.
