A Dainty Toilet Article.

Every lady who desires to keep up
her attractive appearance, while at
theatre, attending receptions, when
shopping, while travelling and on ali
occasions should carry in her purse a

leaves which are easily removed and
applied to the skin. 1t is invaluable
when the face becomes moist ano
flushed and is far superior to a pow

The new double-track bridge of the
Maine Central Railroad, although consid-
cradle yet remains TO be done before it is
completed, was opened to travel Sunday
afternoon after very busy forenoon's
work on the part of the builders crew
and several crews in the employ of the
railroad company, and the old bridge
which had carried the trains of the
Maine Central across the Kennebec river
at Augusta for more than quarter of a
century was relocated to the rear forever
so far as its use for railroad bridge is
concerned. The ceremonies connected
with the opening of the new bridge were
informal and were mainly characterized
by lot of hard work and of the liveli
est nature. They were witnessed by a
big crowd of people and the interest in
the operation was shown by the fact that
rany of those present remained through
out the time that the work was in pro-
gress and until the first train had pass
ed over the bridge in the afternoon.
The transfer from the old to the new
bridge began imm Aiately after the pas
sage of Train 764, which goes west from
Augusta at $40 A. NJ Sundays only. This
train was in charge of Conductor Ede
vean and Engineman Watson and was
the last train to pass over the old bridge.
Just as soon as the train had passed the
steam holster an the big crew of men
got busy with the old overhead bridge
over Water street to get ii out of the
way. The east end was swung around
and onto the false work which had been
erected north of the bridge, and in about
Is minutes that part of the work was
completed. Before that was done, how
ever the crews had been busy for sew
eral hours getting ready to connect the
new bridge with the tracks on the west
side of the river, and with the removal
of the overhead bridge came the final
work of making the connection. This
went along smoothly and rapidly and at
/ O'Clock in the afternoon everything was
in readiness for the passage of the first
train.
But this was not all that had been done
At about o'clock in the morning several
crews of Maine Central track builders
and others arrived from Brunswick and
Immediately began work in the upper
yard between Oak street and the bridge.
The cross-over switch below the Bridge
street crossing, which had marked the end
of the double iron between Augusta and
Gardiner, was removed and was relaid
for the present about LOO feet north of the
crossing and near the west end of the
new bridge. Later, when the double iron
is laid across the bridge, the east end
will be about opposite the pulp mill of
the Cushnoc Paper Co.
The principal event of the day. and
the one for which the crowd was
looking was the passage of the first
train over the bridge. This was Train
Ill, which goes east from Augusta at
2.59 P, NJ. on Sundays only. and long
before the time for the train to ar
rive the street was crowded both north

DIFFERENCE IN
A r M S OF T H E
SEVERAL ARMIES

London, Sept. 25.-The British troops
at the front use two kinds of rifles and
two kinds of bullets, but only one kind
of cartridge This is an advantage
the American army lacked in the
Spanish war. when the marines. the
regular army and the state volunteers
used rifles of different calibre, neces-
stating three separate kinds of am
munition.
The standard arm of the British
regulars is the short Lee-Enfield. 1t
is short barreled rifle evolved after
the Boer War with a yeiew to weap-
on that may be used by infantry and
cavalry alike. It's precedessor with a
longer barrel is in the hands of the
territorial troops. The calibre of both
types is 1903 in. and the cartridge is
loaded with cordite. The magazine
capacity is ten shells in clips.
Germany in 1905 adopted the point
ed bullet. which has been copied by
all the other powers. But England
has still a large stock of the old
round nosed form. OF the two types,
the sharp nosed has the advantage in
swiftness longer range and Halter
trajectory. Its muZzle velocity is 2,440
feet a second as against the 1000 feet
of the round nosed. With the German
Mauser the initial velocity of $500 is
still obtained when the sharp bullet
is issued, but there is still supply
of the older type of German ammuni-
ton sent to the field The Mauser
bullet has a diameter of 81 and the
missile is somewhat heavier than the
English.
Belgium is armed with the Mauser,
but it is the earlier pattern of 1883,
while the German is that of 1898. The
calibre of the Belgium arm is .3O1.
The Lebel rifle of 1886, calibre .315,
has been used by France since 1886.
Frances pointed bullet differs from the
others in being of solid copper zinc
instead of lead with steel jackets.
Austria is armed with the Mannlic-
her, whose bullet has a diameter of
322, somewhat heavier than that OF
the Nagent rifle of Russia.
All of these weapons are modern,
with box magazines. The German
Mauser has the highest initial velocity,
which is a slight advantage.
One reason why so few changes have
been made in arms in late years, why
for instance France sticks to the type
of 1886. is that all countries have be1n
looking for q practicable automatic
rifle. Many automatics have been
tried ont. but they have all failed to

LET MAINE BOAST A BIT.
That Is the Way Other Parts of the
Country Attract Attention.

Did you know that you could give
every man, woman and child in Maine
a bushel and a half of Maine raised
potatoes and then only little more
than use up the increase in the yield
over the yield last year? That is
quite statement to make and yet it
is absolutely true. Last year the far
mers of Maine raised 2s,160,00o bushels
of potatoes, according to the United
States Department of Agriculture.
This year. according to figures Issued
by the same department, the crop will
total about %, 100000 bushels, or an in
crease of 100000 bushels.
Maine people take such startling
figures as these in a matter of fact
way and soon forget all about them.
Elsewhere, with considerable less to
brag about, the people think enough
of such matters to advertise them.
Today the Develop Maine Movement
received a bound book entitled Mon
tana." = 1t is issued by the State to
advertise its resources and opportuni-
ties. One of the most interesting
chapters is entitled, Making Homes
and a striking feature is the yield per
acre of potatoes from 1903 to 1912, as
compared with the average through
out the United States. The showing
is rather good, Montana yields run
ming from 80 to 20 bushels more than
the average for the whole country.
But Maine yields for the same years
run from 80 to 100 bushels more than
Montana yields And nobody has
thought 1t worth mentioning!
Montana is two-thirds as large. ter
ritorially, as the German Empire and
it is rapidly being filled up with new
home makers. manufacturing and
mining enterprise, lumbermen and va
cationists. 1t is growing and prosper
ing because it is making the most of
what it has and advertising every
minute. Maine can do the same If
her sons and daughters will only CO.
operate TO carry on the persistent, in
telligent and widespread advertising
campaign that is needed so badly.
The Develop Maine Movement is
the only organization in the state
that can carry on this campaign and
that Movement cannot carry II on
unless il has the financial as well as
the moral support of great body OF
citizens. The Movement needs more
members and needs them at once.
Every man and woman in Maine
should be identified with it. The best
way to become a member is to get in
touch with the local solicitor. There
is one or more in every city and town.
If that is not convenient then send
