Maine GOSSIP

a bargain fair and square was COM
pleted Tuesday night at the revival
meetings in progress on the Calais
road, Baileyville in Washington coun-
ty, when the minister at the close of
his prayer added a good, strong petit
ion for a well-known blacksmith of
the town, out all agreed with the min
lister when he explained that upon
starting out last Sunday morning on
his rounds of the churches and meet
ings he found it so icy that he was
obliged to call on the blacksmith, who
agreed to open his shop that Sunday
morning and shoe the horse if the
minister in return would pray good
and strong for him at the meetings.
An interesting political case had 4
pleasant ending for one side at least
Wednesday in Portland. when Col.
Edwin C. Milliken was sworn in as
city assessor. The face of the returns
gave the election to his opponent, As
bury F. Waldron, who was given a
certificate of election by the mayor
and aldermen and had qualified. Mr..
Milliken asked an inspection of the
ballots and the results showed such
apparent clerical blunders that Nj
Waldron promptly admitted his de-
feat instead of his election. The
case was taken before Judge Haley
Wednesday and decision made in favor
of Mr.. Milliken, who at once took the
oath and assumed the duties of the
position. Mr.. Waldron did all he
could to facilitate the transfer without
friction. His counsel asked Judge

The Bond of
Motherhood
BY ELIZABETH POWERS MERRILL

PRAYER
Sweet Mother of the long ago,
That all the years have still kept Young,
Our hearts turn back to Bethlehem
To hear the song the angels sung.
Like Shepherds we our focks have left
To kneel beside thy Son today;
And as we gaze on His dear face,
Sweet Mother, for Our sons we pray.
MOTHERHOOD
Beneath humble roof of brown,
mother and baby lay.
Without, the cold, the frost, the stars
Within the warmth, the candle ray.
The mother dreamed as oft she smiled,
Of the long future of her Child
She and her Son would gayly walk
Where blow the oleanders red,
Would chant beside the starry sea
The glories of their race, long-fed.
Proud, she would say,-"My Son, be true
Remember that Thou art Jew"
On long-egged cames they would ride
Ride under soft Judean Skies
Journey to grand Jerusalem,
Where gold and jasper towers upris,
This Son of hers, He was to be,
The Prince of the old prophecy.
Mary not the angry tfrong
Gethsemane or Calvary.
She only saw dimpled Child,
Untouched by any pain to be
She watched Him, as He sweetly slept,
Where the black shadows softly crept
Today the mothers of the race
Behold that little Babe of old,
Their hearts. are one with Marys heart
They bring hearts frankincense and gold,
They gaze upon His sunny hair,
They lift the Mother-heart in prayer
PRAYER
Sweet Mother of the long ago.
That all life's years have still kept Young,
Our hearts turn back to Bethlehem
To hear the song the angels sung.

Sweet Mother, for pray

CHICKENS CAN'T STAND SALT
Fowls viii Never Deliberately Devour
Mineral and When Mixed With
Feed II Proves Fatal.

at does not seem to be generally
known that an excess of salt will kill
chickens, says a writer in the Farm
ers Mail and Breeze. Very frequent
ly we get word from people who have
had the experience of losing large
numbers of chickens from simply CIV
ing them too much salt.
This is never done deliberately.
but comes about in a most innocent
way. For instance, one woman baked
cake and made the mistake of put
ting in salt instead of sugar When
the error was discovered, it was of
course found that the cake was unfit
to eat, and as a consequence it was
thrown to the chickens. Practically all
of the chickens died as result.
"In another case some ice cream
was ordered, and the salty water which
was left in the freezer was poured
into the chicken feed, with the re-
suit that the next morning practical
ly all of the lady's chickens were
dead
so we might go on with these in
stances, but this is enough to show
what the deadly effects are when
chickens get too much salt. Chickens
will seldom deliberately eat salt in its
pure form, or drink enough salty wa
ter to kill them, but when it is mixed
with their food it nearly always proves
fatal"

FORM A NATURAL BUTTRESS
Peculiar Growth Provided by Nature
fer the Support of Some Trees
in the Tropics.

A remarkable elm tree stands on
the banks Of the Oklawaha, near
Silver Springs, Fla. The interesting
feature Of this tree are the high but
tress roots at the base of the trunk,
says the Scientific American. These
buttresses are plank-like outgrowths
not more than an inch or two thick.
extending six or eight feet outward,
and about five feet upward along the
stem. These acted as stays or props
to preserve the upright position of
the tree, which grows in wet, shallow
soil underlaid with hardpan. They
are a common occurrence in many
tropical trees, which, as a rule, have
tall, straight trunks, with the
branches and leaves only at the top,
and therefore require some support
as is offered by these buttress roots.
Such Spurs" as they are often
called, are commonly seen in large
mahogany, Spanish cedar and ceiba
trees in tropical America, but it is
very unusual to find trees from the
temperate climate with such pro-
nounced buttress development.

The seventeenth century canals or
navigations gave rise to the navy"
a term very slowly evolved from nav
igator." There are many country pub
lie houses in England still existing that
testify to the navvy's early designa-
ton on their sign, The Navigators'
Arms" which depicts a brawny labor
er with spade in one hand and a
foaming pot of beer in the other. But
yon may search England through and
through and you will not find Nay
vy's Arms" Curiously enough, while
the NAVY who makes our roads now
obtained his designation from digging
out canals, the canals We're all legally
classified as roads in a great body OF
statutes-the road acts" But what
would have been his nickname if rail
ways had come before waterways?-

bly, easy and that there is no need for
any legal or religious formalities-a
man being able. SO to speak, to divorce
his wife by word of mouth. This ia
cility often gives rise to unpleasant re-
suits, as when a man in a burst of
anger will divorce his wife and then
bitterly repent of his rashness. One
such incident happened recently in
upper Egs9t 1t is related that a
fellah appealed to his omdeh to help
him to regain his wife, against whom
he had pronounced the fatal words.
The omdeh told him to traverse the
streets of his village for two hours
braying like an ass and to eat chopped
straw as an ass does, when he would
be absolved from his divorce, without
needing to go before the cadi. The
| fellah carried out the order to the let
| ter and then returned to his wife, fully
| convinced that he had done ample
penance for his impetuosity.-Bos

HANGING PICTURES.
The Old Rule and Origin of the Tern
son the Line"

The Old Rule and Origin of the Term
"On the Line"
People still speak of pictures being
hung ION the line" at the Royal Acade-
my, but very few indeed, even among
the present members themselves, know
the origin of the term. The common
belief that it implies place on the
walls on the level with a spectators
eye is more or less correct But when
the exhibitions were held in Somerset
House and Trafalgar square the term
meant something far more definite. In
those days people not only spoke of
pictures being hung ION the line" but
above the line" and below the line"
The line was then a regular and per-
| manent fixture. 1t was horizontal
line exactly eight feet from the floor,
marked by a projecting ledge that left
| the surface OF the wall below it two
/ inches in advance of that which was
| above it
/ 4 picture was said to be hung ION
/ the line" when the top of its frame
! was level with this ledge. Hung
| thus" says G. d. Leslie, r. A., in THE
Inner Lift Of the Royal Academy
"the picture, unless very small one
indeed, was exactly at the height to
be viewed comfortably by a specta-
tor
The rule in old times was that all
very large pictures, as well as whole
length and half length portraits. had
| to be placed above the line, the bot,
toms of their frames resting on the
ledge which marked the line, but nC
lower The line was thus preserved
level, no pictures breaking through il
either from above or below.
