CHEAP FOOD !N MAINE.
Many of the newspaper articles
on the cost of yachting are gross-
ly exaggerated. You can live
very well on the Maine coast at a
cost of four dollars a week per
mouth, says Country Life in
America. This involves catching
a certain amount of fish yourself
and likewise digging clams and
quokogs. I assume, however,
that you will find those pursuits
a pari of your pleasure-
Fresli vegetables, fruits, eggs
and wonderful milk may be ob-
tained of the natives at mirth-
provoking prices. For example,
a peck of green peas picked while
you w7ait may cost 20 cents, or a
quart of milk and a half peck of
new potatoes may come to ' a
quarter, with rhubarb and soda
biscuit thrown in to make good
measure. Fresh meats, of course,
can be had only at the larger
harbors, but unless truly epicur-
ean in taste you will be content
to fill out the menu with occa-
sional canned supplies.
Prescribed for Herself.
Litrle Alice has an aged uncle
who lives near her and whom
she regards as an inexhaustible
source of ice cream, candy, toys
and nickels. The other day
Alice, in playing about, got her
foot jammed between two stoops
which came close together, and
in the operation of extracting
the little one from her predica-
ment the foot was bady abraded.
That night she sat 6n the stoop
of her house, her injured foot
i done up with bandages and her
| mind rueful that she could not
I sport with her companions. To
i her appeared her aged and be-
; nevolent uncle.
i “Well, well, little one,” said
he, “how is the foot getting on
to-day?”
“Oh, it is better,” replied Alice
with a sigli, “it is a little better.
But it would be a great deal bet-
ter if I only had some ice cream.”
The prescription was filled at
once and really did seem to af-
ford instant relief.

TRULY PHILOSOPHICAL.
Most Degraded Humans.
The California Indians who
3®ed to inhabit the Santa Bar-
bara islands, are described by
iStae missionaries as the most de-
graded of all human beings, with
a morality lower than that of
animals. Insects, especially
grasshoppers, formed a portion
irf their food, and, like the na-
cres of the adjacent mainland,
they probably fed to a great ex-
ftent on the larger kinds of earth-
worms. Possibly they belonged
the Shoshonean, stock of the
.mainland. Their extermination
m attributed to the changed con-
fition of existence imposed upon
tihera by the missionaries.
Bride from the Dock.
The police court at Westmount,
%*ebec, was,the scene of a charm-
ing romance. A pretty young
Swede, was about to be sentenced
ft® imprisonment for theft, when
Wiliam Brown, a youthful Cana- j
fen, proposed to her in a loud
mice, and offered, if her sentence
.were remitted, to marry her as
mm as a license and a minister
uould be found. The girl left the
building a happy bride instead of
a convicted felon.
A northern Michigan mer-
chant tells a grimly humorous
story of a lumberman in that
section, who, after a hard win-
ter in the camps, appeared in the
streets of one of the larger
towns ready and anxious “to
have a good time.”
This lumberman had with him
the sum of $500, the proceeds of
his season’s labor—a sum for
which he had toiled and slaved
and risked his life in the lumber
jams, enduring the while all the
discomforts and tribulations of
the rigorous winter. With the
$500 thus painfully amassed the
lumberman sought the compara-
tive civilization of a lumber
town. He first purchased him-
self a big drink and an expen-
sive cigar; then hied him to a
faro “joint,” where he staked his
entire fortune on a single play.
In another moment he was pen-
niless. Shifting the cigar from
one corner of his mouth to the
other, the lumberman cheerfully
observed: “Oh, well; easy come,
easy go.”
IT DEPENDED.
At a bend in the river oppo-
site a likely pool a portly gen-
tleman in the new fishing suit
stopped a native in order to get
some necessary information
about the surrounding country.
“Do you suppose,” asked the
man with rod and reel, “it would
be worth my while to try fishing
round here?”
'“Well,” said the native,
thrusting his hands into his
pockets, “the fishin’ ain’t good,
but in course I don’t know how
ye value yer time.”
SUBTLE LANGUAGE OF THE FAN.
Dullness of rainy days in the
New England resort where she
is passing the summer is~ dis-
pelled by Senorita Elena Calde-
ron in an original way. The
dark-eved daughter of the Boli-
vian minister in Washington oc-
cupies those heavy hours with
teaching the language of the fan
to girl friends. Few American
maids are able to avail them-
selves of the opportunities af-
forded by the use of the fan.
Of course, when they have mas-
tered all meanings of the grace-
ful instrument, the next step
will be to convey that knowledge
to men friends. Should a youth
who hovers around fail to catch
the meaning of the uplifted fan,
just shading the right eye, he
might rush up at the wrong
time. That signal means: “Do
not come yet.” The fan just be-
fore the lip means: “You are
ever welcome.” But it will take
a long and faithful practice to
enable the nervous American
girl to wield a fan with the lan-
gorous grace of her Latin sister.

By concealing it about their per-

skirts and ticks; by tucking it
under the couches and carpets, in

Only 100,000,000 Years Old.
The best geological estimates
of the age of the globe are in
close agreement. From the time
when the record of the stratified
rocks begin to the present the
figures are something over 100,-
000,000 years. While some of
the estimates vary considerably
botli above and below the period
mentioned, the general results
are not materially v affected. A
generation ago calculations of
the earth’s age were for the
most part much less than one-
half of the figure given above.
