Found His Old Flag.

Capt. Silas Adams of WaterviIle, who was a
member of the 10th Maine during the Civil
var, was visitor last week at the State house
in Augusta. While in conversation with one
OF the State house officials Capt Adams re-
lated an event which occurred about 40 years
ago. At the time he was sergeant major of
the regiment, his chief duties being to look
after the flag. Acting one day under the d.
rection Of the adjutant. he was repairing the
torn banner when his attention was called to
the top of the flagstaff. He noticed that the
top part was split and to repair this portion he
secured piece of tarred rope and mended the
break. The flag was later turned in and new
one issued.
The State house official listened with inter-
est to the story and turning suddenly said to
Capt Adams: why. there's your flag now in
the case" Going to the glass case which
stands in the rotunda, Capt. Adams recognized
the old standard of the 18th Maine with the
exact piece of old tarred rope which 40 years
ago he wound around the top to keep the flag
staff together. Capt. Adams had little idea
what ever became Of the flag and never ex-
pected to stand again in front of it.

FISH LAWS OF MAINE.

Sportsmen can congratulate them
selves as well as the Maine Legislature,
which recently concluded Is weeks of
hard work upon the passage of an act
revising and consolidating the inland fish
and game laws of the Pine Tree State,
for they have been much simplified and
the new arrangement makes them more
convenient for consultation.
From the angling sections, most inter-
esting at this particular season Of the
year, we learn:
That there is closed time on land
locked salmon, trout and togue from Sept.
Both until the ice is out of lake or pond
in the following spring; on white perch
and black bass from Sept. 30th until
June 18th.
That no person in any one dav is per-
mitted to catch or have in possession
more than Is pounds in all of the above
named fish, unless one individual fish
weighs more than Is pounds or unless
the last fish taken increases the COM
bined weight above the limit.
That no land-locked salmon less than
IL inches in length, no trout less than
inches, no black bass less than 10 inches,
and no white perch less than 6 inches
may be caught; in the Belgrade chain of
lakes no trout less than 10 inches or
black bass less than IL inches.
That it is illegal for any person to use
more than two lines at any time.
That whoever sells or purchases any
landlocked salmon, trout, togue, black
bass or white perch is liable to heavy
fine.
incidentally, anglers who frequent the
Maine lakes in the spring and summer
are hereby informed that Chapter 1853 of
the Public Laws of 1911, entitled, IAN
act to prohibit the use of ganghooks, So
called, when fishing in the inland waters
of this State" was repealed March IL,
1913, before it became operative.

captain known to the underwriting
world as the "Skipper of the Fancy
Risks The underwriters have con.
ferred the title. He is known to them;
he has succeeded in the most hazardous
enterprises; and when extraordinary
risks are assumed it is he upon whom
the underwriters call. At first sight his
commands are of the most commonplace
description; they consist of craft built
for service on inland waters-paddle-
wheel steamers, ferryboats, dredges,
and small yachts. But the voyages he
undertakes with these ungainly and in
significant craft are extremely removed
from the commonplace. His clearance
papers are more often than not from
New York to San Francisco via Cape
Horn. 1t may be that he is outbound in
paddle-wheel steamer, designed for the
waters of Long Island Sound, from New
York to Para; it may be that he is out
bound in dredge to Curacao. or in
Lake Erie yacht to the Pacific coast.
Such craft are often sold in New York
to be delivered in far ports; and before
the underwriters will accept risk they
exact condition that the craft shall be
commanded by captain of their choice.
1t is the Skipper of the Fancy Risks
whom they select to win through with
the most hazardous risks of ALL Ferry
boats and dredges are not the best sea-
boats to weather the off-shore gales of
Hatteras or the hurricanes of the Carib-
bean Sea- nor are yachts built for cruis-
ing in Long Island Sound the most de-
sirable sort of craft with which to face
the Strait of Magellan
On one occasion, after having been un.
rpnOrfp6 a tUO bo
with tow of dredges to Cartagena. the
Skipper of the Fancy Risks returned to
Norfolk to undertake the longer voyage
to San Francisco with a paddle-Wheel
steamer of the usual New York Bay type.
She was made rea 1y for the voyage; the
sides were carried up, closing in the
lower decks; extra braces were put in
the hull, and the smoke-stack was secur-
ed with extra stays. Beyond Hatteras
the paddle wheeler ran into bad weather
"a gale of wind and nasty sea. She
behaved badly; and there was no telling
until the outcome proved it-whether
or not she had been sufficiently strength
ened. Eventually an incredible thing &C.
Cured. A gust of the gale caught the
old vessel as she rose on the crest of a
big sea, like bit of paper in whirl-
wind. The wind actually lifted her out
of the water, so that her wheels thrash
ed the air and only her keel touched the
sea. The Skipper of Fancy Risks STOP
ped his engines, chopped away the great
paddle boxes, thus releasing the uplift-
ing rush of wind within them, and al
lowed his craft to fall back into the
water. Thereafter he continued to the
first port of call on the long voyage to
San Francisco. = George Harding, in
Harper's Magazine.

SPRING POULTRYGRAMS.

The following spring poultrygrams are
taken from the current issue of Farm
and Firesde:
"Stoneware drinking-vessels are the
most sanitary and serviceable.
"For full egg-baskets try equal parts
OF wheat, oats and corn, scattered in
litter.
"Save all the table-scraps, parings,
ETC.; boil, and thicken with wheat-bran,
and feed warm at night.
''lce-water is not conducive to egg
laying. Give the hens their water at
about blood heat in cold weather.
''Hens prefer dark nests. 1t will take
less time to darken the hen-house nests
than to hunt for stolen nests.
"Three drops of carbolic acid to a gal
Ion of water will sterilize the water and
prevent throat troubles in poultry"

MAY Is BUILDING HER HOUSE.

May is building her house. With apple blooms
She is roofing over the glimmerng rooms;
OF the oak and beech hath she builded its
beams,
And spinning all day at her secret looms,
With arras of leaves each wind-swayed wall
She pictureth over, and peopleth it all
With echoes and dreams,
And singing of streams.
May is building her house. OF petal and blade
OF the roots of the oak is the flooring made,
With a carpet of MOSES and lichen and
clover,
Each small miracle over and over,
And tender, tri yelling green things strayed.
Her windows, the morning and evening star,
And her rustling doorways, ever ajar
With the coming and going
Of fair things blowing,
The thresholds of the four winds are.
May is building her house. From the dust of
things
She is making the songs and the flowers and
the WINGS
From Octobers tossed and trodden gold
She is making the young year out of the old;
Yea. out of winters flying sleet
She is making all the summer sweet,
And the brown leaves spurned of Novem-
bers feet
She is changing back again to springs.

WHAT THE GAS-ENG1NE HAS DONE FOR
THE FARM.
According to the current issue of
Farm and Preside, hundreds Of thousands
of gas-englnes are now doing their work
on farms. Following is an extract:
in their varied forms these engines
are the fairy workmen of the industrial
world. The things which they accom-
plish to-day for us would, to our ances-
tors of a century ago, sound more i'm
probable than do the fairy stories of
Hans Andersen or our friend Esop.
''It pumps the water for the house,
barns and pastures. 1t grinds the feed
for poultry, pigs, sheep, cattle and
horses. 1t runs the cream separator, the
churn and the washing machine. By its
surplus energy while doing these things
it runs dynamo and charges storage
battery. Current from this battery is
used to light the house and barns, to run
an electric fan, run the sewing machine,
iron the clothes and heat the incubator.
can engine will shovel the corn and
grain, pitch the hay into the barn, bale
the hay, shell the corn, run the tanning
mill, milk the cows while they eat the
chopped feed which it has prepared. 1t
will even shear the sheep and clip and
curry the horses. And, joy of joys to
the farm boy, it will turn the grindstone.
''These are but some of the chores
which it will do about the house and the
barns. In the form of tractor it goes
into the fields and plows, tllls, seeds,
harvests, threshes, shreds and shells,
hauls the crop to town, digs bitches and
fills bitches, pulls stumps and hedge and
rocks, moves buildings, grades and drags
the roads.
SIN the form of an automobile it
brings joy to all the family. At the close
of a hard days work they can climb into
the car and spin around the country a
good many miles in half an hour or an
hour. They are rested, cooled and re-
freshed far more than had they sat at
home. If repair or some supplies are
needed, the car runs into town and back
within less time than it would take to
bring team from the field and hitch it
to the buggy. And the team goes on
with its work. Or, if the driver of the
team must make the trip, they rest while
he is gone, and he too is rested by the
trip"
