REMEMBER THIS.
When you go into the country, make
tip your mind that you are going into
God's great gallery of charm and beau
ty to enjoy yourself and to see what
you can get out of it. Resolve that
you will come home laden with riches
that no money can buy; that you are
going to extract from the landscape—
from the mountains, the valleys, the
fields, and the meadows—a wealth
which does not inhere in the dollar.
Learn to drink in beauty and
health at every pore. Try to realize
that the flowers, the grass, the trees,
the brooks, the hills—the charm and
beauty everywhere—are God's smiles;
that they are for him only who can
appreciate them, who can respond to
them, who can appropriate their mes
sage. They can not be bought; they
belong only to him who can enjoy
them.—Success Magazine.
Sea bathing is now really fine. The
temperature of the water is as high as
it Is the last of July ordinarily and the
number of bathers is constantly on the
increase.
The clambake pavilion at Long Isl
and is doing more business than ever.
Is this not an evidence of the result of
judicious advertising, coupled with bus
iness ability? I.ong Island has had a
very satisfactory growth in popular
ity and !t bids fair to continue.
Little Diamond island is now provid
ed with a water supply and a gas plant.
This will give It a new start in the
field as a coming summer resort nearby
Portland. The lots are said to be sell
ing rapidly to an excellent class of
people who will build expensive cot
tages.
The Breeze tide cards are being sent
out for July. They are neat and handy
and the -lemand for them is so large
that the publishers have not only mail
ed copies in bundles to hotels, but have
sent numbers of the cards to bay peo
ple who have sent In requests for them.
They are free.
Chebeague Inland is to be treated to
a concert by Its own band Saturday
night. The people of the Island should
see to it that the money needed to
give the players encouragement
is forthcoming The concert is to be
given on the grounds at Hill Crest.
People who wish to travel back and
forth between the Islands are confused
when they try to work out their sched
ule from the steamer time tables. If
the running time of *ach steamer could
be published It would save a lot of
brain work and probably be the means
of putting more money in the com
pany's pocket.
Chebeague Island has one of the very
few and In fact the only winning base
ball nine in Casco bay. There la great
credit due the boys for the intereat
they manifest and the two games week
ly on Wednesday and Saturday after
noons form no small part of the amuse
ment for the summer visitors aa well
h
as the Island people during the
months of July and August. The at
tendance so far as regards numbers
has been most praiseworthy, but the
funds secured are not so satisfactory.
When one considers the excellent
game of ball which the home team us
ually put up it is not too much to ex
pect that there should be no person not
interested enough in the national sport
to contribute the regular admission fee
of twenty-five cents, which goes to
wards paying the expenses of the vis
iting team as well as the running ex
penses of the home nine. At each of
the games played to date the total col
lections have not exceeded twenty dol
lars, this sum not being sufficient to
met the expenditures. We trust .the
team will receive the support it cer
tainly deserves.
A COMMUNICATION
SUGGESTION FOR ORRS ISLAND'S
PROSPERITY.
It Is for the vital interest of every
person living on Orrs Island or who
owns property there to not only wish j
Orrs Island well, but to act together
for the good of the island.
It is a mistake, everybody says who
has the experience to know, not to ad
vertise the various kinds of business
already established or which is likely
to be established as publicity has
made all the other islands in the Bay
build up.—Charles E. Davis.
How to Make an Excursion Boat.
Get a pot of paint, none pine boards
and an abandoned engine. Also a keg
of spikes and two smokestacks large
enough to hold a red emblem.
Put your boat together very care
fully. seeing that all the pieces fit onto
the keel. After it is all ready shake
it lightly to see it doesn't fall apart.
Then place it gracefully on the sur
face of the bay.
It is quite possible that it may leak
at first. If so, fill the cracks with
j laundry soap.
Now for the fittings. Put a couple
1 of rheval glasses in your cabin and a
toothbrush attached to a chain in th>*
wash-room. Buy at auction some life
preserver coats and fill them with
breakfast foods. In case of accident*
you are thus providing the passengers
with nourishment.
After you have selected your cap
tain and crew, secure permission from
the proper authorities to run the boat
loaded to the guards with women and
children. This can easily be done—
provided you have the necessary cash.
—Life.
French Chemical Scarecrow.
According to recent experiments by
Stanllas Tetard. a widely known
French agriculturist, wheat and other
cereals can be protected against the
ravages of crows, which are particu
larly fond of the grain when Ita
sprouts are Just pushing above the
ground, by treating the seeds, before
they are sown with a mixture of coal
tar, petroleum and pbenlc arid.
This treatment, which delays the
growth of the seed for a day or two.
but causes no damage. Imparts an
odor which la Insufferable to the
crows, but which disappears after
sprouts have attained a larger growth
when they are no longer subject to
attack.—Ixwidon Globe.
The population of the world Is now
estimated to be about 1.503.000,000. Of
this number 150.000.000 are black. *00.
000,000 yellow and 750.000.000 white.
QUE88INQ CHARACTER.
How People of Various Professions
Have Dons It.
There can be little doubt that close
observation of people, and ability to
read their character and their thoughts
Is of Immense value in trade and com
merce. especially for s shop assistant
or salesman in persuading people to
buy goods, or In detecting would be
swindlers. It Is said that you can tell
a man's character from the way he
wears his hat If It Is slightly on one
side, the wearer is good natured; If
It Is worn very much on the side, he
Is a swaggerer; If on the back of his
head, he Is bad at paying his debts;
while if worn straight on the top. be
is probably honest, but very dull.
The way a man or woman walks Is
often a very good guide to character.
Witness the fussy, swaggering little
man. paddling along with short steps,
with much arm action; the nervous
man's jerky stride; the slow slouch of
the loafer; the smooth-going and silent
step of the scout and so on.
"I was once accused." says Lleut.
Gen. Baden-Powell, from whose work
on "Scouting for Boys" this informa
tion Is taken, "of mistrusting men with
waxed mustaches. Well. so. to a cer
tain extent. I do. It often means van
ity and sometimes drink. Certainly,
the 'quiff* or lock of hair which some
lads wear on their foreheads Is a sure
sign of silliness."
Apart irom being of extreme inter
est and value to boys, the advice which
the redoubtable "B. P." gives on the
art of judging character by keeping
yours eyes open should be of much
service to grown-ups. You can gener
ally tell from a person's boots whether
he Is rich or poor.
"I once was able," says the famous
soldier, "to be of service to a lady
who was in poor circumstances, as 1
had guessed it from noticing, while
walking behind ner, that, though she
was well dressed, the soles of her
shoes were in the last stage of dis
repair. I don't suppose she ever knew
how- I guessed that she was in a bad
way.
"But it is surprising how much of
the sole of the boot you can see when
behind a person walking—and it is
equally surprising bow much meaning
you can read from tbat boot. It is said
to wear out soles snd heels equally is
to give evidence of business capacity
and honesty; to wear your heels down
on the outside means that you are a
man of imagination and love of ad
venture; but heels worn down Inside
signify weakness and indecision of
character, and this last sign Is more
infallible in tne case of a man than in
that of woman.
"It is an amusing practice when you I
are in a railway carriage or omnibus
with other people to look only at their
feet and guess without looking any
higher what sort of people they are, old
or young, well-to-do or poor, fat or
thin, and so on. and then look up up
and see how near you have been to the
truth.
"Mr. Nat Goodwin, the American
actor once describea to me how he
went to see a balloon ascend at a time
when he happened to be suffering from
a stiff neck. He was only able to look
down instead of up—and he could see
only the feet of the people around him
in the crowd, so he chose among the
feet those that he felt *ur» 'belonged
to an affable, klnd-nearted man who
would describe to him what the bal
loon was doing. |
"I was speaking with a detective not !
long ago. about a gentleman who had
both been talking to. and we were
trying to make out his character. 1
remarked, "Well, at any rate, be la a
fisherman, but my companion could not
see why; but then he was not a fish
erman himself. I had noticed a lot of
little tufts of cloth sticking upon the >
of his coat.
"A good many fishermen, when they
take their flies off the line, stick them
Into their cap to dry; others stick
them into their sleeve. When dry
they cull them out, which often tears
a thread or two of the cloth."—Tit-Bits.
Insomnia.
Insomnia is the not uncommon fate
of the brain-worker who. after years of
continuous mental strain, retires from
active life. The reason Is that men
tal activity demands a large supply
of blood for the brain, and the blood
vessels gradually accommodate them
selves to this large supply. But.
when the hard work is over, the brain
does not always realize that It needs
less nourishment, and bene* the con
dition of excessive mental activity
which Is what Insomnia Is.—Letter Id
London Mall.
Work of Watch Wheels.
The main wheel of a watch makes
460 revolutions a year, the central
wheel 6760. the third wheel 70,060. the
fourth 525,600 and the escape wheel
721.660.
SOME AGED BRIDEQROOM8.
Well Known Man Who Wed When
Far Advanced In Yeara.
Social recorda give several instances
of ancient bridegrooms. The list ia
headed by the Earl of Wemya. He
waa born in 1818. and when about 82
took aa his second wife the handsome
dark haired Miss Grace Blackburn.
Then the Earl of Mount Edgcumbe
married at 74. taking aa hla second
spouse hla cousin Caroline. Counteaa
of Ravenaworth. And the wedding of
the late Marquia of Donegal at the
age of 80 made an event of December.
1902.
Baronets seem set on making second
or third mariagea after they have be
come octogenariana. In 1908 Sir Hec
tor Hay. at the age of 85. took to wife
Mrs. Fordyce. widow of Major Fordyce
of Aberdeen, and in the same year 81r
James Langrlshe. when 82 yeara old.
married aa his second wife Miss Algi
tha Gooch. only alater of Sir Daniel
Gooch.
Also in 1906 Sir Robert Turing, at
the age of 79. married Mra. Herbert
Ramua. a niece of Lord Congleton, and
Sir Henry Vavaaour when well over
the allotted span married Mlaa Alice
Codrlngton. a cousin of the Duke of
Beaufort. Sir Henry is now nearly 94.
keeps well in mind and body, and
makes long trips to the Continent.
The late Sir Charles Tennant (fath
er of Mrs. Aaqulth) took a second wife
when well on in the 70s, and a child
was born to him when he waa 80
years old.—From Tit-Bita.
NoIm.
Noise, at first cultivated In this
land by the Indians, has reached Its
climax in the college yell. It Is used
at political conventions, at christen
ings and at women's clubs.
No monument was necessary for
the man who first invented noise. His
work lives after him.
Noise is used by cities, which have
the first call for it They split it up
into as many sounds as possible and
divide It among all.
Noise varies in its volume and In
tensity, from embryonic and imma
ture sawmill to a baby crying in the
night.—Life.
An Emperor Obeyed.
While the Emperor (Nicholas 1)
was in Moscow witnessing a perform
ance of "Lucia dl Lammermoor" at
the splendid opera-house, one of the
largest in the world, a fire broke out
and the theatre was burned to the
ground.
The emperor calmly told the Gov
ernor-General: "I shall return here
next year on the same day; I shall ex
pect to find the opera-douse rebuilt
exactly a» it was before, and I shall
listen to a performance of 'Lucia' by
the aame company"—and he was
obeyed.—From "The Court of Russia"
by E. A. Brayley Hodgetts.
Women Doctors.
It is a real grievance that students
of the London School of Medicine for
Women should have to go to Edin
burgh or Dublin for a college diploma.
There is, of course, the University or
Ixuidon, and some women have done
well there. But th* medical degrees
of the I.ondon University are for the
few.—British Medical Journal.
A Dog's Artificial Ear.
A shoemaker of Philadelphia has
a doc which recently had one of its
ears cut off by a tramcar. The dog
Is a pet. and therefore It has ueen
supplied with an artificial ear made
of leather and covered with curly
brown hair to give It a natural ap
pearance.—Home Notes.
A Suggestion.
A Boston gentleman has. out of
sympathy, married a woman who was
knocked down by his motor car, and
had a leg amputated. We believe
that If this kind of thing were made
obligatory by law. we should near of
fewer people being run over.
Boy Was an Observer.
"What Is the best place In which
to keep fresh milk in hot weather?"
asked the teacher. "Please, teacher.
In the cow," answered the small boy
who had Just returned from a country
holiday.
No Room for Him In the Parlor.
"Brlggs says he spends most of his
time at home In the kitchen."
"I wonder why?"
"I believe he said his wife was a
'parlor socialist.' "—Cleveland Plain
Dealer.
Dentistry.
The Dentist—Now, open wide your
mouth, and I won't hurt yon a bit.
The Patient (after the extraction) —
Doctor, I know what Ananias did for
a living, now.—Home Herald, Chicago.
