face dragged in places and skipped in
others. Slow and steady does the best
work.
We have no heavy drags. A few
months experience showed US they
we're not what we wanted. We use
light drags, pulled over the road at
about the regulation angle of 45 de
groes. This pulls a small amount of
cal tn over to the center of the high.
way and firms the whole wheel path.
We have a 6O-foot highway Natur.
ally we do not try to drag all OF that
surface. What we try to maintain is
q roadway of about twenty feet in
width. We begin In the center and try
to tirst get a good wheel track width
in fair shape As soon as this is done
the drags are Tapped a little farther
over into >Ae undragged roadway at
the sides.
We drag the roads as soon as pos.
sible after every rain. The best work
is done after a rain and just before
the road surface begins to harden as
It dries. One side OF the wheel path is
taken going in one direction, and the
other side 10 smoothed up on the re
turn trip. Half a dozen drags on a
road after a spring rain will work
wonders. Keep this up a few weeks
and you are able to build the center
of the road up TO a height OF from
ten to twelve inches above the level OF
the edges. This gives a good drain.
age and makes the future dragging
easier and much more effective.
Road dragging is something that
must be kept up continually. Eternal
dragging is the price We have TO pay
for dirt roads that are shove the av-
erage. II we paid for the work put on
them II would probably cost us all of
$40 and maybe Sl2 a mile for the
year. Some years the roads will re-
quire much more work than in others
because Of the weather conditions.
The amount OF traffe and the nature
Of the soil on which the road Is built
are other factors that affect the
amount Of dragging necessary.
There are some spots in every road

OWLS HEAD MEMORIES.

In tearing northeast snow storm in
the winter of 1852 Nova Scotia schoon-
err, loaded with potatoes and bound tc
Boston, went ashore in Owls Head har-
Dor. The following afternoon the cap
tain sent word to the "natlves" that
they could help themselves, for in view
of the increasing cold the potatoes would
soon be valueless. A snort crop had
been harvested here, on account of rot,
so everybody was eager to make a rush
for the potato schooner. The schools were
let out early, for twas growing intensely
cold as night approached, and men and
boys raced to the harbor with s]eds,
sleighs and anything that would hold po-
tatoes. Oh, but weren't those potatoes
sweet! They had been chilled just enough
to make them delicious.
Capt. Elisha Brown bought the schoon-
er, get her off and fitted her up for coast
ing, going himself as master. for he
could sail vessels as we'll as build them.
The last trip he made in the schooner
she was loaded with stone, bound TO
Portland. On the middle of the deck
was big stone. When east of Seguin,
standing to the westward, with an out
wind and an ugly roll of sea, the captain
was below, in his berth, when the vessel
gave an extra roll and the big stone
started across the decks and overheard,
splitting the schooner open When the
captain realized what was going on, he
crawled out, like drowning rat, only to
lind that the crew had left in a small
boat and that the schooner was about to
make her final plunge. He made leap
as far as he could and, to use his own
expression, for he was man who slut
tered some:
Old B. b-b-rown went downr'
he finally came to the surface, nearly
exhausted, and grabbing two tenders
that f1oated up from the sunken vessel
placed one under each arm and kept
afioat until he was picked up by passing
vessel.-B. A. Emery in the Rockland
Courier Gazette.

around for beauty, scenery and variety,
nice cities and villages, good farms and
pleasant homes, nice painted buildings,

pearance, Maine is as good as any of
them, and better than the average. If
we would only boost and boom Maine the
way they do California or the Western
States, and paint up the bright and
glowing side as they do, we could make
it out land of perfection. Every place
has its advantages and disadvantages,
but think any one comfortably situated
in Maine had better stay at home than
start off on an uncertainty, for things are
not always all that they are painted.
So let US boom the good old Pine Tree
State, which is Home, Sweet Home.

Feb. 9, and the following Monday after
noon by calling for rising vote, de-
sire TO state that the House records show
that upon the Saturday forenoon referred
to 20 bills were regularly entered and 10
other bills were actsl upon. rising
vote was called for three times, once on
! account of an oversight of the speaker in
neglecting to duly attend TO the sugges-
ton of lack of quorum. Total length
Of the session was 80 minutes, with an
average of about three and one-half min
utes for each of the 10 bills acted upon
including the time for the rollcall in or
der to determine quorum. There was
no other business of any kind either in
House or committee for the rest OF the
forenoon and the whole afternoon.
Upon the Monday afternoon, Is bills
were entered and 10 others acted upon
several of an important nature. A ris-
ing vote was called for three times, the
speaker himself having declared to me
that the rising vote, as whole, is prefer
able. Total length Of the session was
about 95 minutes-about four minutes
each being taken upon the question OF
passage of each bill Average length OF
sessions so far, has been about 10 hours
per week.
Rising votes have been taken hereto
fore in about the same proportion, but
none to any extent from call by me.

HIS WARNING TRUE.
Celebrated French violinist Told Wife he
Would Notify Her of Death.

Paris, Feb. l5.--This story is going the
round OF the French papers;
One Of the most distinguished yiollnlsts
of France, who was married only one
month before the beginning OF the war,
said to his bride on leaving for the front
that if any misfortune happened 10 him.
he would arrange to let her know 1t IN
advance of the official notification,
Weeks and months went by, without
any bad news, and the bride almost had
forgotten the singular statement made
by her husband in the emotion Of separa-
ton, when on Sunday morning, Jan. "a.
She felt an irresistible desire to play a
certain melody that her husband, Remi.
was particularly fond of. She opened
the case, took out the violin and all col
or left her cheeks. Two of the strings
were broken, the ri and the mi" u
understand" she stammered and stag
gered to chair. The following day to.
ward noon an official from the war de-
partment came to inform her that the
Sergeant Remi had died upon
the field OF honor.
