Here and There.

Now that the centennial of Maine is
over the next thing in the same line is
the tercentennial of the landing OF the
pilgrims on Plymouth Rock, which will
take place in Boston and Plymouth.
Among the obseryances will be a stu
pendous pageant performance OF one OF
Verdi's greatest operas, aida, which
will be an al fresco affair presented in
the Braves Field, which will accom-
modate $4,000 people. This opera was
chosen because it contains the most suit
able music for open air as well as one
of the most gorgeous spectacles in the
triumph scene of any opera. 1t will be
presented in Boston in the same manner
rs 1t was in Cairo, Egypt, before the
Khedive, with elephants, csmsls, cav
airy, and chsriots. There will be huge
chorus of one thousand voices, including
members from the New York opera
houses, from the Handel and Haydn So
ciety, The Peoples Choral Union, Apollo
and Cecilia Clubs of Boston, under lead
of Emil Mollenhsuer, conductor. There
will be a ballet of one hundred dancers,
the largest in any opera yet seen in
America, which is already under the
training of Nine. Marie Psporello. There
will be an orchestra OF one hundred and
fifty pieces, as well as a stage band Of
fifty, under leadership of Agide JAG
CHA. For the Egyptian army scene
there will be one thousand soldiers
mostly ex-ssrvice men. The soloist'
already engaged include Marie Rsppold
Relnald Werrsnrath and Orville Hsr
rold, from the Metropolitan Opera.

When one has spare time-when one
Is not working, playing or doing any
thing else-one sometimes wonders what
ones ancestors did to pass away the
time,-not necessarily three or four gen.
erations ago, but three or four thousand
years ago. One speculates as to how
they looked and acted, whether remem-
bering the Darwinisn theory, they looked
or acted any more like monkeys than
do the present tenants of the earth. II
seems every generation has bad an itch
ing for fsme-if not in q big way, then
as big as they could; and because Of this
they have left records of various kinds.
Kindly nature has covered most Of these
beneath the surface of Mother Earth; so
when present day inhabitant gets curl
Gus be takes a spade, goes out and digs.
It's far cry back to ancient Babylon,
but there Is one thing in which they
have moderns "skun mile" to use q
slang phrase. They must have had an
eye to the future in whatever they did,
for they did not trust their records to
rotten pulp paper, but committed them
to baked clay. With such an abundance
of clay as there Is in Oxford County why
could not her people have been as
bright? OF course most of the records
exhumed have been of battles and poli'-
ical Intrigue; but it seems the old Baby
lonisns were human enough to form
trusts and commit pirscies of other
kinds. They had their soft side, too, and
loved as well as fought. Any way a
love letter has recently been uncovered
perhaps the oldest In existence-as
tender probably as any young man Of to-
day could write, and In as good style
Here 1t Is, judge for yourselves: "To
Bibes, thus says Gimil Msrduk: may the
gods Shsmash and Msrduk permit thee
tolive forever for my sake. write to
inquire concerning thy health. Tell me
how thou art. / went to Babylon, but
did not see thee. l was greatly disap-
pointed. Send the reason for thy lesv,
ing, that may be happy. Do come in
the month OF Marchesvan. Keep well
always for my sake"

Now that the season OF thunder show
ers has arrived many people put In more
or less worriment as to danger TO life
from lightning. Up to date no one seems
to be spry enough to dodge lightning, so
the only way to deal with IL is to round
up and take the juice as 1t comes. As TO
the extent of the risk someone has been
figuring and he, or maybe she, an
nounces that about five or six persons
out of million die annually from light
ming stroke, so the risks are not very
great. II has also been pointed out that
tiredness of life Is more prevalent than
lightning stroke-that is, there are thirty
deaths from suicide to one by lightning.
Not every one dies who has been struck
by lightning, and IS the old superstition
largely prevails that lightning strikes

WHY PLANT JUICE
BECAME FAMOUS
Sinking Springs Blacksmith
Tells How the New Medicine
Restored His Health.

When the stomach Is strong and active
it keeps the body in a state of virile ro-
bust health-cheeks clear, eyes bright.
full Of vim and vlgOr, snap and energy. and
able to ward off any sort of disease. Indi-
gestIon, dyspepsia, coated tongue, sour
stomach, gas or a bloated feeling after
meals sleepiessness, poor appetite, con-
stipation, headache, dizzy spells, restless
ness, pulled eyes, bad taste in the mouth
and no energy, are all symptoms of de-
ranged stomach, and can never attack
YOU if that organ In performing its proper
functions IS vigorous, healthy and active.
This explains the unparalleled success
OF Plant Juice, the famous herbal stomach
remedy. 1t brings perfect health to that
much-abused organ, the stomach, and
this, in turn, rids the body Of these symp-
toms. acts on the liver and kidneys and
banishes rheumatism from the blood.
Many testimonials are received daily
from local people, relative to the wonder

recently received is from Mr. Adam J.
Gromes. q well-known blacksmith of
Sinking Springs, who said:
81 have taken many medicines in my
life time to keep'm system toned up, for
one has to be at the top notch of health
and strength for this work. Every mo-
ment must be backed by strength but in
all Of my experience there is nothing that
compares to Plant Juice, to bring the
system back to proper working order.
