Plants Use Poison az Protection.

Many plants use poison az a means
of protection. The sun spurge has .
poisonous juice which kills any in
seots which approach It, while the
poisonous properties OF the deadly
nightshade are well known. The

Teaching Positions In Maine

According to figures just compiled
in the office of the State superin-
tendent of schools it is found that
during the last school year there were
1882 different teaching positions In
the public elementary schools of
Maine. or these 315 were required to
be filled by men teachers. AS an in
dication of the unstable character of
the position of teacher it should be
noted that 500 different men teachers
were employed in the year, while
6,435 different women were employed
to fill the 4,517 places open to women
teachers in elementary schools. Since
1924 teachers occupied the same DO.
sitions for the entire year it would
be seen that practically few of the
schools of Maine were subjected to
enormous changes during the year. In
commenting on these figures State
superintendent Smith expresses the
opinion that schools are generally far
less profitable when under such con-
ditions of frequent change than they
are when under a reasonable perma-
nent teaching force.

An Old Time Toll Bridge

One of the few remaining old-time
toll bridges remaining in Maine is the
antique wooden structure which con-
meets the town of PASSPORT with the
mainland at Perry at the north oul
of the town, which is on an island
the city being on the southern end
of the island, nearly four miles from
the bridge OF course the most of the
passenger and freight traffic to the
city comes by the railroad bridge. The
old toll bridge was built about 80
years ago and is about quarter of
a mile long. 1t has been source of
considerable expense, being of wooden
construction, and there seems no way
of improving upon it without the enor-
nous expense of a steel or concrete
bridge. Much interest is taken in the
annual bidding for the taking of the
toll, which is something of specula-
ton depending upon the amount of
traffic. Last year 1895 was paid for
the toll rights and this year the sue
cessful bidder got it at $1005. As high
as $500 has been paid but not in re-
cent years.

Hair Hints

with pure soap and water, or good
ready prepared shampoo.
Use Partisan Sage every day, rub
bling thoroughly into the scalp. This
delightful and invigorating hair tonic,
which G. r. Fogg sells in a large SO
cent bottle, is guaranteed to quickly
abolish dandruff-to stop hair from
falling and scalp from itching or

To put life and beauty into dull,
dry or faded hair and make 1t soft and
fluffy surely use Partisan Sage-it Is

conditions at the State prison IN
Thomaston, according to information
made public by a member of the Gov
ernors Council. The object sought
for, that extra guards be employed at
the prison, by whose addition the
200 prisoners would have outdoor rec
reation and exercise on Sundays and
holidays, will soon be accomplished
through action by the State alone. 1t
was also announced. Circumstances
combined to prevent the consideration
of the offer of the Portland man in
the summer Immediately after it was
made public. Gov. Haines was in Col
Orado, and after his return, several
conferences of the parties interested
were necessary. The matter was
closed at the meeting of the Govern
or's Council. 1t is said unofficially
that the chief reason for the States
not taking the sum was the belief
that its acceptance from a private in
dividual for use toward paying the
expenses of a State institution would
be reflection on the sovereign State
of Maine. The additional guards were
to go on duty shortly, il is expected
and all interested in a humane state
of affairs at the prison are much

The States big granite house on

Gave Portland Decision

An opinion written by Chief Justice
Albert R. Savage of the supreme court
has been handed down in the case of
against Portland. He sustains the con-
tention of the attorneys for the city
that the city was not liable for dam
ages of the stock of the plaintiff caus-
ed by water resulting from a clogged
condition of catch basins. The opin-
ion held that such water is not en-
titled to passage through a sewer
within the meaning of the statutes.

Lumber Cut Expected To Be Large

Lumber Cut Expected To Be Large
The lumber cut in, Maine the COM
ing season will be very large accord
ing to reports received from different
sections of the State. The cut in
Aroostook county will be heavy and
many new camps will be established
The amount needed for the many pulp
and lumber mills will be millions of
feet in addition to that received from
Canada and the Provinces. During
the summer not a few of the con-
tractors have built camps, and in the
tinued from last winter, extensive re-
pairs have been, made. One of the
most perplexing problems with which
the contractors have to deal is the Sc
curing of necessary help. Already
many of the contractors are advertis-
ing for help but the responses thus
far have been few. While conditions
N the woods, as far as maiptenance
and keep are concerned, are better
than ever before, and the wages are
higher there are but few responses
to the appeals of the contractors. Up
to few years ago all the necessary
help could be secured in the smaller
towns but now the majority of the
laborers in the woods. other than
bosses and foremen, come from the
laboring ranks of the large cities.
