Plants That Co to sleep

Plants have a mind Of their own
on the subject Of winter sleep, and
gardeners have tried various meth
DDS Of waking them up prematurely,
to furnish blossoms at a time when
they are scarce and costly. Mere
greenhouse heat and moisture failing
to yield the desired results, they have
successfully tried warm baths and
ether vapors to shorten the hibernat-
ing period Of bulbs. From Germany
comes a description of the latest plan
devised by a man named Weber. BY
sticking a needle into the base Of the
bud he has caused it to unfold two
or three weeks ahead Of its fellows.
Still more time was gained by inject
ing water into the buds. Not content
with water, a physician has tried in
jections Of water with ten per cent.
Of alcohol. By this means he sue
ceeded in gaining ten days in the
budding Of oak twigs.

'The town of Lancaster, Mass, in

'is a place Of little size-not over
1000 population-and yet it has
enough of individuality and quality,
not to speak Of history, behind it to

is no commonplace house Of worship.
"The present structure isn't so very
old and yet it dates from 1910 and
looks good to last another century.
The remarkable feature, however, is
that in its history of over $50 years
this church has had but eight minis

Art is the great and universal re-
freshment. For art is never dogmat-
ic; holds no brief for itself; you may
take it, or you may leave it. II does
not force itself rudely where it is not
wanted. It is reverent to all tempers,
to all points of view. But it is wiIful-
the very wind in the comings and go
ings of its influence, an uncapturable
fugitive, visiting our hearts at va
grant, sweet moments; since even be-
tore the greatest works of art We
often stand without being able quite
to lose ourselvesi That restfuI OBJ
liYion comes, We never quite know
when-and It is gonei But when 1t
comes, it is a spirit lowering with
cool wings, blessing us, from least to
greatest, according to our powers; a
spirit deathless and varied as human
life itself.-John Galsworthy in the

NOTED POET WELL GUARDED
Social Intercourse by His
Eccentric Wife.

The famous poet of Denmark, Palu-
dan-Muller, was closely guarded in his
later years by an eccentric wife. great
ly his senior. OF her preposterous odd
tty, writes Mr.. Edmund Gosse in Two
Visits to Denmark" stories were
everywhere current in Copenhagen.
She kept him as much as she possibly
could from all intercourse with the
outer world. During a visit to Copen-
hagen the host of Mr.. Gosse decided
to invite the poet to dine. and his
daughter and guest were sent on a
mission to invite him.
II we could secure him for a night
convenient to him, writes Mr.. Gosse,
all that was brightest and best in Co
penhagen was to be constrained to
come, too. But fortune was against
US; II we had found him alone it is
possible that success might have
crowned our efforts. When we ar
rived, with our dinner invitation on
our lips, we were damped by being
told that the poet had gone out for a
walk. but that Mrs. Paludan-Muller
would receive us. The fierce little
lady. in fact. closed our retreat by
peeping round the edge Of the door
and commanding us to enter. Miss
Aline Fog, overwhelmed by the event,
lost her presence of mind, and blurt-
ed out the invitation, which 1t would
have been wiser to suppress.
The answer came at once: "Impos-
sible, my dear lady, impossibleI 1
could not sanction it, Mr.. Paludan-
Muller is weak; he is good-natured;
he is only too ready to go into So
ciety. 1t is my privilege to prevent
1t. l say to him, You are too deli
cate, my dear, to mix with others
You must positively consider your
health"
Miss Fog feebly asked whether the
poet might not himself be appealed to,
Such old friendsl so small party
so early an hour!" The lady was quite
obdurate, however. Il could not trust
him with your message. He is so
weak, so good-natured. His place is at
home with me. l do not wish to dine
abroad, why should he?"

HOW old PEOPLE
MAY Prolong Their Live

At an advanced age waste is more
rapid than repair. The organs act
more slowly and less effectually than
in youth. The circulation is poor. the
blood thin and watery, the appetite
poor and digestion weak.
We want to say to every aged per-
son in this vicinity that vinol. our de-
licious cod liver and iron tonic with

an appetite, aids digestion and makes
good blood. In this natural manner
Vinol retards waste and replaces
weakness with strength, giving new
life to the worn system.

EDITOR CAMDEN HERALD: The fol-
lowing letter has been sent to me. The
remedy for this state of lawlessness,
which not only exists in Camden but in
many counties in Maine, is to turn out
the free rum" Gov. Plaisted and such
sheriffs and county attorneys as we have
in Knox County who are regulating"
the liquor traffic, so that it is not only
disgusting to citizens of all parties
but also to our summer visitors as we'll.
Plaisted was elected Governor by some
eight thousand majority. The vote "No''
wiped that all out, and more, too. The
coming September election, should rele-
gate those lawless officers to the scrap
heap, and it looks as though it will.

Thrifty Congressman Gould.
He Ekes Out His $500 Salary, and Per-

[From the Portland Press.l
Judging from reports that come from
Washington the nation has no more
thrifty statesman than Mr. Gould, who
in addition to his other duties is respon-
sible for first class boarding house in
the Capital city. AS far as Maine is
concerned this is certainly new feature
in craftsmanship. We believe we are
safe in saying that Mr.. Reed or Mr..
Frye or Mr." Hale never ran boarding
house, and Mr.. Kinds and Mr.. Guernsey
have no ambitions in that direction 1t
is also fact that Senators Gardner and
johnson and Congressman McGillicuddy
have sought no rake off in this direction.
Sam seems to stand alone as an enter
tainer of ''paying guests"
According to the Congressional di-
rectory, Mr.. Gould address is 122 Mary
land avenue, Northeast.
The three new members from Maine,
two for the House and one for the Sen
ate, agreed that the Congress Hall was
agreeable, being handy, having all the
appointments of first class hotel, and
they camped there. Rates are higher
than they are in Skowhegan. While
there are hotels in Skowhegan and other
Maine towns at two and two per and
two-ffty-per, the per diem tax in the
Congress Hall is considerably higher and
even amounts to more than $500 per
month for the ordinary run of rooms and
board.
A large ''To Let" sign on the front of
the ancient mansion at l22 Maryland

Hoey got the house.
That was IA months ago, approximate

The lease developed in two days from
prize to nightmare in Mrs. Hoey's
mind and she induced Mr.. Gould to take
the lease off her hands to the great de-
| light of both parties, especially as she
was installed as house keeper and care
taker.
The Hoey family consisted first OF
Mrs. Hoey and one daughter. The final
roundup developed, in addition, two
other daughters, one husband, one son
and one mother, total of seven. APP
propriately housed, this left but little
transient space in the house, which has
10 rooms, let it be said in passing.
However, the chinks were filled up
and colored cook was procured along
with other needful furniture, as the
house was partly furnished.
Lodgers, paying by the month as is
the Washington custom, were installed
in three rooms. The dining room was
not patronized extensively until Repre-
