Notes from the Legislature. With tbe list week, the fourth week of the session. the legislature "got dnwu to business," that is, tu the busiuess thai shows mure or less results of some kiutl. a· the wurk of tbe first three weeks does nut. Like previous legislatures, this one has been criticised for doing *o little in its first weeks, but in point of fact, it did about all that was possible. No business of importance can be even introduced until after tbe committees are organized, and oo hearing* can be held until after •even «lays notice, so that little actual work can be done in tbe first three weeks. The tluod of new measures in now at full height, and in tbe lot are a few old frieuds of former years, some of then: •lightly changed in appearance. Among these are tbe bill establishing a state board of charities and corrections; the Donigan bridge bill, putting the main tenance of all 'arge bridges un the sfate, which seems to have about the same chance of passage as in former sessions; and tbe resolve in favor of Michael Bnrns of Augusta, the original original package man. which has been turned down by every legislature for nearly two decades. A bill introduced early last week pro vides for the merger of the Maine Cen tral Railroad and the leased lines which it is now operating—the Washington Countv, the Somerset, and the Sebasti cook and Moosehead. If this is passée it will abrogate tbe tax rebate on ι ht Somerset extension, which has still t number of years to run. Another act provides for the electriti cation of a branch of tbe Canadiar Pacific Railway in Aroostook County and another authorizes a long extensior of the Aroostook Valley electric road, foreshadowing an extensive electrifica tion of the railroads in that part of th« state. A ballot bill bas been introduced bj Senator Donigan which provides for » form of ballot practically such as is usee in Connecticut. This is a party column ballot, and according to the descriptioc it is apparently less simple than tin present Maine ballot. Davies of Yarmouth has introduced i resolve for a constitutional amendmeni providing for the election of Secretary ο State, State Treasurer and Attorney General by the people, instead of by th« legislature as now. This has been urget by Mr. Davies for some time. Representative Bisbee of Rumford ha: introduced bills to extend for two yeari the charters of the Kumford Falls anc Bethel Street Railway, and the Kangelej Lakes and Megantic Railway. A bill to amend tbe apple law intro duced by Representative Wheeler fixe* the size of tbe standard bushel box and the barrel, and provides that smallei packages shall be marked "short barrel' or -'short box." The expected measure providing foi tbe division of the common school func entirely on the basis of school popula tion, aud not partly on the basis of valua tion as now, was put in last week II will have both strong support and strong opposition A bill introduced to regulate the tak ing of tish in the waters of tbe state pro vides that no person shall catch more thau forty fish in ant one day. Anothei bill makes au open tune of three months, from Sept. 1st to Nov. :k)th, on gray squirrels, on which there is now no open On Tuesday Mr. Daviea sprung a sur prise in the house, by introducing a reso lution declaring, in view of the value ol Maine's undeveloped water power and the position taken by the last legislature against the transmission of power out side the state, that 'his legislature will continue that policy, 4'to the end that no corporation engaged or to be engaged jc the transmission of power shall be grant ed unrestricted rights of eminent domain." Although a surprise, this was passed under suspension of the rules, and by a practically unanimous vote The next day it went through the senate in the same way. Senator Stearns has introduced a bill changing the time of the regular meet ings of the couutv commissioners of Ox ford County fr»»m the second Tuesdav of May and September to the tirst Tuesday. Senator Stearns haw also introduced a bill permitting the Mexico Water Co. tn take water from Swift Kiver, and to sup ply water to the towns of Roxbury and Byron. The much-heralded bill to incorporate the Kennebec Dam and Reservoir Co., popularly known about the state house as "the octopus," made its appearance Wednesday. It seems to have been shorn of at least some of its objection able features, though it will be closely scrutinized in any event. At the same time there was introduced by Mr. Pat· tangall a bill which modities the present law with regard to electric light and power companies, and allows com· petition in a territory when so decreed by a judge of the Supreme Court after investigation. The committee on legal affairs report ed favorably on the bill to abolish the office of assistant attorney general, and the house accepted the report and pass ed the bill by a vote of 110 to 19. In a caucus of practically all the Demo cratic members Thursday night, it was decided to support a bill for the creation of a public utilities commission. This will take the powers of the board of railroad commissioner*, which will be abolished, and will also have other ex tensive powers, including the regulation of rates on railroads, gas, telephone, water, and in fact, all public utilities. Considerable work is being put into the matter of the reapportionment of the state for senators and representatives in the legislature, the workers taking various points of view. It seems to be settled that Hancock County will lose one senator, and in the tive counties to one of which it might possibly go is In cluded Oxford. But it is not likely that this Democratic legislature will give an other senator to a county so nearly cer tain to go Republican as Oxford, espe cially when there are two or three other counties that have quite a claim to it. On the other hand, it is quite probable that Oxford will gain a representative, increasing its number from seven to eight. The senate commitee on the contested election case has decided in favor of Dr. Fred A. Chandler of Addison, the sitting Republican, finding him elected by a plurality of thirteen votes in a total vote of about 5000. The committee on insane hospital pro pose to investigate those institutions thoroughly, and accordirg to what is in timated, they expect to find "something rotten in Denmark."

Shaw gave a whist party Saturday evening at the home of lite former, which the guests pronounce a very enjoyable occasion. Perley F. Ripley went to Portland last week and ran home a new 1911 Ford' Koadster of the fore door type, that is a handsome car and attracted considera ble attention. Mr. Ripley found no snow below Poland and from there to Paris the snow in the roads was packed so hard that it made an ideal auto road. It is not always that we have good auto mobile roads the last of January, but several cars were ruuning here last week ;.nd owners and prospective owners be gan to have "Spring Fever," but the <now storm Friday night and blow of Saturday put an end of it for the present.

Greenwood. It is doubtful if the person lives who remembers a fall and winter up to the last week in Jauuary, when there fell so little rain and snow as in the two seasons io question. Winter came in with the fountains at low water mark, with the result that their wells or aqueducts have been dry for several weeks, thus making it necessary to melt snow or bring water from a more favored location for all purposes But there is plenty of ice in the ponds yet, and thosj who are bar vesting it report it two feet thick aud nearly all of tirst quality. Snow is not more than a foot deep in the woods, thus making it very con venient for cutting and hauling timber: and sleighing could not be finer even if made to order. Aud now they are beginning to talk about getting their town reports ready for March meeting which is fast ap proaching. Our company the past week consisted of Mrs. Edgar Moigau aud little boy, Willie, also I. W. Swan of Locke's Mills, who 'he doctors thought a year ago, was very near the end of life.

They intend to commence keeping house <>n the Charles Brooks place in the spring. Did anybody's eggs get broken the tirst of the week when they fell from .'10 to 24 cents in one day? Slocum's history of those double wed dings was particularly interesting to us. since we were an eyewitness to the tirst mentioned. Kev. Benjamin Willey tied the knots and thev were performed in tirst class style He was a brother to the Mr. Willey, who with a whole family, perished iu the White Mouutain slide, well known in history. Within a few days Dr J ay ne'· medical almanac fouud i's way here, and also Hood's calendar iu miniature form, ac companied by a picture of a pretty girl. Both are worth looking at, the former giving the most detailed history of Perry's victory we have ever seen, and the latter tells us all about their won derful medicine, and how many calen dars they have published during the last 25 years; the number being several million a year. Now that it is well along in January, perhaps it is time to publish our death record for 1910, only premising that the persons here mentioned were, or had been, all known in former years. .iamvaky. \ nnle Green.

In tbe Baptist Standard Is this tribute to Mr. Bartlett from a friend: In tbe departure of Rev. Edward Pay son Bartlett of Des Moines, Iowa, I have experienced a keen sense of personal bereavement. Our first acquaintance began thirty-seven years ago in tbe old theological seminary at Chicago. Being about tbe same age and of similar taste» and convictions, ibere was a little more than tbe ordinary in our intimacy. Brother Bartlett bad a strong experi ence of Ood in bis soul and this was a bulwark of strength to him during hit seminary life and ever afterward. I remember going to bis room one day in 1873 during tbe bard times of tbe panic of that year, when he recounted an experience that strengthened bis faith in Ood. He was poor, like the most of tbe "theologues" of that time and in hard lines for money. He bad been in prayer that morning for God's help. When I arrived he bad just re ceived a letter from a friend In another state, containing a present of |5 from a friend of the writer who had volunteer ed to send blm this money, although there was but a slight acquaintance be tween them. This was a great encour agement to him that day. Brother Bart lett was a man of great faith in tiod as a hearer and answerer of prayer. He bad clear convictions of Bible truths and held them with uncompro mising tenacity. His piety waa of that unostentatious, transparent kind which carried it* own evidence of genuine «in cerlty. He was of a lovable disposition and many are tbe hours in which we bave held sweet converse together. His was a faithful ministry of about forty years and during this time be was never swerved aside from bis high vocation by any consideration of material gain. For nlue years he was tbe efficient secretary of the Iowa Baptist State Convention. He was a noble man and served bis generation faithfully. D. D. Pkoper. Omaha, Neb. I Maine Newt Notes.

FOOD AND DIGESTION. Civilized Man Needs Cheerful Sur roundings at His Meals. Robust people so long as they get what suits their own uncultivated taste are apt to make very light of what they call "fancies" about food and overlook their real Importance. Feeding on the part of civilised man is not the simple procedure which it is with animals, although many ani male are particular as to their food and what is called "dainty." The ne cessity for civilized man of cheerful company at his meal and for tbe ab sence of mental anxiety is universally recognized, as well as the Importance of an Inviting appeal to the appetite through the sense of smell and of sight, while the Injurions effect of the reverse conditions, which may lead to nausea and even vomiting.

When two spiders tight there is gen erally a good reason for the attack and the vigorous defense that follows It Is not generally known that after a certain time spiders become inca pabie of spinning a web from lack of material. The glutinous excretion from which the slender threads are spun is limited; therefore spiders can not keep on constructing new snares when tbe old ones are destroyed Hut they can avail themselves of the wel» producing powers of their younger neighbors, and this they do withoui scruple. As soon as a spider's web constructiu^ material has become ex hausted and its last web destroyed It sets out in search of another home, and unless it should chance to lind oue that Is teuantless a battle usually en sues. which ends only with the retreat I or death of the Invader or defender Individuality.
