The Strongest proof of this is the way that funds, patriotic and charitable, have been subscribed to, and in the way that celebrations and coucerts of all kinds, but especially of a patriotic , or national character,, have been patronized. Nearly all the celebrations and coneerts held in this county since Christmas have been highly successful and attended by, generally speaking, well dressed people. If the war had occurred during the hard times of a few ypare back not nearly so much money would have been raised for the "home that Tom- my left behind him." Entertainments and amusements suffet first and mc st. in hard times. We must have food and clothes, but a concert or a cireue is a luxury and can be done without. Good titnes seep people busy at their chosen work, and therefore happy, increase greatly railway traffic, be- cause people can then afford to visit friends and take trips, and good times make more news for the newspapers, because then there is more " a 'appenina" This is more especi- ally true with -regard to local papers, which do not depend for their value upon the big news of the world, but rather the doings Ground their homecorners.

Here is a queer true stery about some u brellan : -A lady who keeps a summer b arding house at the seashore near Boston, w nt down the o ler day to look the house o er and find out what must be renewed. She found numerous umbrellas left by form - ea boarders, and tying them together, she t ok the bundleloiBoston to have them re- p ired. She stopped in at Hovey's and laid t e bundle on the floor at her feet at the o unter. When she had made her purchase s e forgot her umbrellas, and absent mind - e ly picked up an umbrella lying on the c unter, thinking it was hers, ea, not think- ing at all, and sterted off. The owner of theumbrella, a woman et nding next her, seiied her and said very s arply, " You lave taken my umbrella ! 0 course she apologized, feeling very much c t up about it, and went on, forgetting in h r fluster her own bundle of umbrellas. T e next day, oti her way to Cambridge, a e went to Hovoy's and readily recovered hr lost package of umbrellas, which liad b .en kept for her. On the car from Cam - b idge she noticed a lady eyeing her very el sely. Preeen ly this lady leaned forward d said to her, with elegant emphasis : "You seem to have been more fortunate t. -day !" It was the lady whose umbrella she had. t ken the day before. -Boston Transcript. • Sunday in a Boer Household. Sunday is a great day in a Boer house - h ld, It is a irey serious day for the ohild- ✓ n.

Indeed, these arc generally god photographs, executed by some of the f reign travellin artists who roam about S uth Africa a-nct make much more money tl a,n they could itt Europe. In the house of a religious Boer, " Pe " o " Ou Pa '> may be seen on a Sunday after - n on, after the ' masatijd," or dinner, seat - e in his , great- erm-chair. He is sure to h ve his big pipe in his mouth and the cate- a ism in his hand.

As might be expected, the young Boers g ow up to be grave men. Their training i the seclusion of the thinly -populated c untry makes them serious. The wealthier f tenors often employ accomplished Dutch t tors to instruct their children, and some o the more enlightened have even made use f the services of young Englishmen, wish - 1 ig their children to learn to speak English a well as the Dutch language. -The Golden ule. • • Will Work atNight.

Not does it work miracles in song, holding thousands entranced by its spell, but it is alike powerful on the plat - f rni, in the forum, on the *hustinge, or in he simpler office of reading aloud. • While we recognize this power, there is othing more difficult to define in words than the peculiar charms one finds ha the voices of certain readers and speakers, 'hose topes a,nd methods are as unlike as one class of energiee can well he from an- other. One speaker may possess a deep, eonorious voice, hill of musical cadences and gently falling inflections, while that of another may be almost falsetto in the fine- ness and clearness of its tones, and run as 'naturally to high keys and rising inflections as the other does to mellow descents. While third may be wanting in the musical qualities and yet wins our attention by its sympathy with the speaker's thought. When the speaker's thought is one of great force and power, such a voice becomes a sort of Thor's hammer to shiver the argument of an adversary or drive home the orator's logic and fix it in the mind of the hearer. It does not always follow that an effective voice is wed.to, or directed by, a strong in- tellect. The rule is the reverse of this, and it is the exceptions to the rule that give the world its great popular orators. Ancither thing is also worthy of notice in Tolstoi Changed His Mind- , Loudon Tit -Bits: In his early youth Count Tolstoi determined nevcr to marry, and on the strength of this resolution sold the family mansion, which was torn down and removed, except one wing, which he reserved for his bachelor quarters.

Mr. G. C.

Its poeei- bilities as a etoek coun ry are very great, and, taking Toronto a a starting point, it is no further away tha Wincleor and 100 miles closer than al ntreal.

We often have folks come hear to ask us what they shall do with the" dear old here° " that grew up with the family.

A Sweeping, Leaping, Plashin.g Max. of Fish That Annually. Try to Crowd tip a Little Stream Only a Fe* Rods Across. -No one has ever discovered just why all the alewives on the New England coast assemble and force themselves up the Damariseotta river to spawn. But so they do and so have done for years nnd years and years. There are other streams and' rivers along the coast' that offer as good advantages to the fishy vis- itors, but the alewives have a regular spring engagement in the Damariscotta riVC' r. When one considers that all the spawn - dug alewives along the 300 miles of coast come, -to Damariscotta and try to crowd up a little river only a few rods across, the scenes that occur here are more read- ily understood and , more easily believed by those who have never seen such a marvelous' sight. "An rilearife rush" is the most interest- ing event in the Damariscotta during the season., All at once down the river the calm surface commences to be broken by little glints of silver in the sunshine, lit- tle ffirtings of the water and quivers, as though something of broad extent were moving below. Then, with startling sud- denness, a_ queer sort of tidal wave seems to form. It moves rapidly up stream, extending from bank to bank. The wave rolls a foot high. And it is a wave of fish -alewives! It comes sweep- ing on, one fish leaping over another and falling, only to leap again. Andthus, flashing and splattering and leaping till the surface is afoam and the air is full of the queer, rushing noise, the fish come till they break at the foot of the falls. During these rushes, which happen frequently during the day, ale- wives arc forced, flapping and flounder- ing, out on the banks of the river and ruay be picked up and put in baskets. The laws of Maine permit the capture of these alewives under somewhat pecul- iar provisions. From the pond above the village tho river descends by successive leaps the face of a rather steep _bluff. There are two branches of the stream flowing down the bluff. The law provides that all the alewives which turn to the right at the foot of the falls and ascend the right hand stream shall be allowed to pursue their way undisturbed. They are permitted to hop from pool to pool, flop out on the bank and then flop back again and thus make their difficult way to the lake. The journey up the side of the cliff occupies a hearty and active •alowife at least two days, and his fins must be pret- ty weary when he gets there. The fish that select the left hand stream, whicli is wider and more easy of ascent; are caught an a weir, or, rather, a lock. Not one escapes. At certain intervals as soon as the lock is full the water is drain- ed off and men with .great dip nets ladle the struggling fishes into a sluice that slopes to a packing house. A thin stream of water is running down the sluice and. the fish are borne away. As they come out of the end of the sluice there stand men with barrels. As soon as one barrel is full .anotlier ia substituted at the end of tho runway. During the season thou- sands of barrels are secured. Practically all the fish are pickled in strong brine. Pew of them are sold in this form in the United States. The Dam- ariscotta packers say that nine -tenths of the fish they catch are shipped direct to the West Indies and are readily sold there to the natives. The call is for plen- ty of salt and fat fish. Both are provided. The alewives that run up the river are in fine condition, fat as butter, and the fe- males are full of roe that makes good eating in itself. The peckers to whom t Damariscotta and Newcastl entire right of fishing dispos the alewives to parties who,smoke them, and for a time all New England eats freshly smoked alewives, or herring, as these fish are sometimes mistekenly call- ed. The red herring is "another sort et bird" from the big, fat alewife. All thi profit resulting from the sale of the fish to the packers goes to the citizens of the two towns that have been mentioned. The sum realized is so considerable that taxes in the municipalities are very low. By an ancient provision every widow in the towns is allowed to come to the side of the stream and receive 100 pounds of fresh fish from the hands of the se- lectmen, who are on duty during the whole of the season. Persons of a cer- tain age are also entitled to their quota of fish. Ehnight armed guards patrol the banks of the stream, especially the right hand stream, where the fish that are al- lowed to pass are struggling bravely. Poachers have in the past been able to capture hundreds of pounds out of the pools in a few hours. In the old days it used to be a favorite hut risky practice to descend on the Damariscotta fish pools hy nieht and haul away enough 1a-11 to peddle around the country for a few weeks. But the guards in these Jeys aro inalruated to shoot, and the peeel.; knew that fact.
