The Great Plague.

The 18th of September is the anniver-
sary of an occurrence of go years ago
in the year 1665-which is recalled in Lon
don as the ending of the week in which
the great plague reached its greatest de-
structiveness. London at that time had
little more than double the population OF
Indianapolis. yet the number of deaths
from the plague In the week ending the
10th of September, is given as upward of
1000. It was calculated that the plague
that began in the previous, April and
continued until late in December, had
more than 100000 victims. Meanwhile"
as Defoe says in his narrative, lit is true
people used all possible precautions.
When any one bought joint of meat in
the market. he would not take it out of
the butchers hand, but took it Off the
hooks himself. On the other hand, the
butcher could not touch the money, but
had it put in pot full of vinegar he
kept for that purpose. The buyer carried
always small money to make up any
odd sum, that they might take no change.
They carried bottles of scents and per-
fumes in their hands. and all means
that could be used were employed. But
then the poor could not even do these
things, and they went at all hazards"

fore US was spread the plain of Alsace.
From the other side of the hedge voice
came to US.
"Old fellow" said the voice. II assure
you l should be pleased to take my eight
days of furiough. First of all. should
see my wife and my little boy. Although
I'm here in the Alps. did not come from

There was no response to this from
the other. The same voice continued:
when the war is ended I'll take you.
That's understood. And that day. old
fellow. III give you a hunt that will be
something new to you. 1t will be an
unlucky day for the rabbits
There was no response to this from the
other chasseur, who was, without doubt,
an Alpiner The silencer was then broken
by an exclamation:
1.-THE devil. it's time for the soup: let's
60. What are you waiting for. old fell

There was a sound Of crushed branches.
and through a hole in the hedge came
two forms. I then understood why only
one had spoken. The one that did not re-
spond was a great black dog, with placid
eyes, that, wagging his tail, followed the
talker.

A Short and Profitable Patent.

Perhaps the shortest patent application
extaHt is the one On file in the patent
Office at Washington. which reads: Il
claim a patent on a screw with a gimlet
point"
Previous to that all screws used in
woodwork had been of the blunt end
variety. and the carpenter had to care
fully bore a. hole with a gimiet or augur
before inserting his screw and forcing It
home. The advent of the screw with q
gimlet point which would bore itself in.
revolutiOnized this.
This patent was held by the American
Screw Company. Of Providence. r. l..
and before the patent ran out and 1t was
impossible for others to manufacture It
without damage suits, this company
made tremendous profits. The demand
for the simlet pointed screw was. Of
course. immense and the company did
not know what to do with its profits.
All Of its dray horses were carefully
selected blacks and tremendous prices
were paid for good stock. The harness
was Of patent leather trimmed with red.
while the wagons plying back and forth
between the factory and the docks or the
railroad had red undergear to match the
harness trimmings. and the wheels were
derurated with gold leaf. II carat nne.

Americas Opportunity.

Editor Kennebec Journal:
After the war what? Most likely a
defensive alliance for all the European
states will be the outcome Of this last
great war among them. A certain
section of these warning nations who
trusted in the power of might to con-
quer and rule all the world, as well as
the remaining ones who believed only
less in the power of arms and arma-
ments, will thus be led to see that the
brotherhood of man is the basic princi-
pie of all permanent peace.
Awful as the present experience of
Europe is, it has probably fastened
by hundreds of years the universal ac-
Acknowledgement and adoption of the
principle that right, not might, is the
best law for the welfare Of nations.
Then why prolong IA years carnage
has been decisive of nothing) an un-
necessary and useless conflict. that
can only result in the exhaustion Of
these self same. powers and the CEN
turylong misery. of the great masses
of all these peoples? If new Hague
conference were to sit continuously
until the peoples. of these countries
compelled their rulers to submit their
differences to its decisions, peace
might come sooner than anyone would
imagine. What greater role could
America have than to be the first to
take this decisive step. and work for it
necessarily until its fulfillment came !?
Yours very truly,

from agitators for prohibition. but from
the police officials and business men OF

are not new. hut the demonstration IS
especially impressive because OF the DEN

they constantly lie about the Maine
law and conditions in Maine and Kan

cheap and characterless papers to
sneer at and misrepresent the law and

These cows may half pay for their
keep and they may not, the faruser
doesn't know: he keeps no books. he
bugs when he has to and sells all he
can. He has. at some seasons Of the
year. a few pounds surplus Of butter
and takes it to q grocer who quite
probably sells him his feed. The
grocer allows him 20 to Is cents q
pound for butter and pays for it in
goods or accepts II on account-per-
haps for feed. The grocer can sell
that butter at a good profit. and tells
the dairymen who attempts to arrange
sale Of butter: why. ] can buy q
carload Of butter at Is cents pound"
1t is the man who doesn't know:
who is too needless to fnd out; who
can not take the time from smoking.
or from settling great political 1ues-
tons at the favorite ioafing place. that
spoils the market for those In his line

The general consumer does not benefit
by the low prices paid the man who
doesn't know or care. That Is why 80
many dealers find it easier to gain q
living or a competence that way; it is
not because fewer firms could not do
the business or accommodate the pub

Milk Too High or Butter Too Lowf

MIX 100 f1tgh or Butter TOO loWT
An Augusta dairyman of experience
says that farmers cannot afford to
make butter for 95 cents pound. at
present rates for hay and feed. He de-
clares that milk must be based at five
cents quart for the herd owner to
"ge. by" and that after all the work
Of making the butter the product at
IS cents is worth only 10 per cent of
the milk put into 1t at five cents a
quart. That would put milk at three
and one-haIf cents quart, which will
not pay for tie food and care Of cows
that are above the average in Maine.
Such figures open up interesting
questions for practical farmers. We
should like 10 hear from them on this
and kindred subjects. What does 1t
cost to keep a cow a year? How
much milk will an average cow of
Names mixture return? With hay at
$50 a ton and feed at "a cents. as
an average, at what price must milk
be reckoned to make the keeping Of 4
good grade Of cows worth while?
1t is apparent at the outset that not
all can keep thoroughbreds and realize
fancy prises for milk or cream or ofR-
spring, Sometime . standard must be
fixed. Just now milk buyers (consum-
>rs) are paying eight cents a quart.
and, according 30 recent board of
health reports In some cities are pay

DO not expect to pay for butter more,
than at the rate Of four cents quart.
