The seyenty-seventh Legislature OF
Maine adjourned late in the day Sstur'

them, there are the act for the reorgani-
cation of the Boston and Maine Rail-
road, the workiugmen's compensation
law, the fifty four-hour law for women
and children, provision for women's
reformatory, four years close time on
moose.
OF the measures which failed Of pass
age, the woman suffrage amendment
was of most public interest. Others
were the Massachusetts ballot, the pro-
position to build a new state prison, and
the resident hunters law.
The fishing laws, which were pretty
well Strengthened out by the preceding
legislature, are all tangled up again by
special enactments, so that the pam

Salaries of officials were generally

Odd sheots of Note Paper,

A good way to use up odd sheets OF
note paper for which you have no en-
velopcs Is to make them, with the aid
Of your sewing machine, into a pack
age Of correspondence sheets that need
no cover. Gut the note paper Into
halves along the folded edge and fold
each half again. Remove the thread
from your sewing machine needle and
carefully run the paper under the guide
Of the machine, leaving an accurate
quarter Of an inch margin on three
sides. The fold Of the paper should re-
main untouched. That makes double
sheet, three of the four edges Of which
are perforated. When you are ready
to send letter write on the inside Of
the folded sheet, then moisten the
edges with glue, seal them and write
the address ON the outside Of the fold
ed sheet. The person to whom the let
ter is addressed can open It by tear
Ing of the margins that seal It,

Girdina Up the Lolns.

In Biblical times the strong man
-girded up his loins" when about to
undertake some feat Of physical en-
durance. And the custom Is BY no
means obsolete among certain orr
entails ut the present time. Thus In
preparing for fatiguing Journey the
oriental winds piece OF cloth about
fifteen feet long and twelve to eighteen
inches wide tightly around the alb
domen and back. 1t Is put on by hav-
ing q person bold one end while the
wearer winds himself up tightly In It.
and the orientals believe that this
girdle relieves fatigue and guards
against intestinal troubles by prevent
Ing chilling. This explanation OF the
sustaining effect of the girdle Is prob
ably Incorrect. although the good
effects themselves cannot be doubted.
In all probability 1t is the support
given the abdominal muscles, rather
than the protection to the skin, that
explains the beneficial results.-Los

Wall Tempered Living.

The statistics Of insanity show that
the minds Of men and women are often
made aberrant through the steady
drive Of environment in which the
simple life and the squirting city life
are equally ut fault The figures show
the per capita Of insanity differs little
In city and country. Rural solitude
md the abnormal Mfe Of the city are
alike responsible for mental diseases.
It Is as bad for man to be too much
alone as 1t Is for him to be surrounded
by perfervid life. The history OF the
race, the inquiries Of investigators and
