Fire at Castine.

The Castine house at Castine, J. M.
vogell, proprietor, was badly damaged
by fire Saturday night. The fire started
in the laundry about 10 O'Clock, and the
dense smoke spread SO quickly through
the building that the occupants, all OF
whom had retired, were eompeiied to
make hasty retreat, scantily clad.
The volunteer fremen found their best
efforts were required in fighting banning
fire. At one time it was thought the hre
would be confined to the laundry, cut
after the blaze had been extinguished
there, it was found that the fire had eaten
lite way up the clothes chute and between
the walls to the upper part Of the house.
II was Q stubborn and blind fire to night,
and the dremen did well to save the
building.
The loss 10 estimated at 5000.

PURE RICH BLOOD
PREVENTS DISEASE

Bad blood,-that is, blood that is
impure or impoverished, thin and
pale,-is responsible for more all
ments than anything else.
1t affects every organ and function.
In some cases it causes catarrh; in
others, dyspepsia; in others, rheuma-
tism; and in still others, weak, tired,
languid feelings and worse troubles.
1t is responsible for rundown
conditions, and is the most common
cause of disease.
Hoods Sarsaparilla is the greatest
purifier and enricher of the blood the
world has ever known. 1t has been
wonderfully successful in removing
scrofula and other humors, increasing
the red-blood corpuscles, and building
up the whole system. Get it today.

GETTING AN EDUCATION.
After the Age Of Thirty Il the Time "a
Start In Earnest.

After the Age Of Thirty 10 the Time 10
Start In Earnest.
According to the Saturday Evening
Post the best time to get an education
perhaps the only time--is any time
after one has passed thirty. The stun
that one learns before twenty Is not
meant to be remembered. 1t is only
placing Of the chutes and an arrange
ment of the bins for the permanent
contents. From twenty to thirty one
Ii all torn up with counting, marrying
and getting a foothold In life. After
that is the time for education-from
then on until death or senile debility.
A man or woman past thirty L. ex-
actly at the most favorable period for
mastering knowledge, training the
mind, forming the taste. Some syste-
matte effort Is all that Is necessary,
Notice the silly and stiresome ways in
which enormous numbers Of people
spend some Of their holidays. They
know what to do with their working
hours, but not with their leisure.
Most Of them by a little direction
and a little systematic effort might
develop some special interest. Boys
quickly tire Of mere aimless and pain
less play. Naturally they want a
method and goal in 1t. Having q
goal Is exactly what gives zest to the
game.
And having a goal ID both easy and
delightful. To study anything with
interest, from logarithms to caterpil-
lars, gives one fun and profit at the
same time. Try 1t.
