From the Lewiston Journal, Fishing and farming do not go well to- gether, as the season for planting crops is just the one when the harvest of the sea must be gathered; consequently one sees little cultivated land along the Maine coast. And when for a time the sea fails to give up its riches, it is hard pulling for those who depend upon its products for a living. This is reported to be the case this year, and a hard winter is frowning on many of the little settlements on this coast. The fishing last summer was poor, the lob- ster season short, the demand for clams less than was expected, and the sardine season much shorter than usual. The cap- tain of a coaster in Portland Friday said already twenty families on the mainland, not far from there, are in need of assis ance, while on Mallayo Island things are even werse, many people now living on bread, lasses and fish, and suffering from lack of sufficient clothing. oe Handy Boys. From Harper's Bazar. Miss Dauber—“That's a picture I did my- self, It's a basket of fruit.” Friend—“Yes? But I don’t see any fruit.” Miss Dauber—“I know. You see, I didn’t think I could do the fruit so well as the basket, so I put those boys in, who have stolen it.” Bn Nothing to Receive. From Brooklyn Life. Judge—“What is the use of appointing a receiver for this corporation? There is noth- ing left to receive.” Lawyer—“Your honor, I will show by nu- merous cases that it is not customary to appoint a receiver while there is anything left to receive.” = | But, as a matter of fact, THE SOGAL WORLD (Continued f¥om Fifth Page.) ive euchre last Tuesday, evening at the resi- dence of Miss Gesitle’ Denekas.

A Rare Collection from the Land of the Rising Sun to Be Exhibited Here. Lovers of Japanese and Chinese art, of whom there are many in Washington, will have a rare chance to gratify their taste next week when the private collection of: Mr, H. Deakin, of Yokohama, will be placed on exhibition at the art galleries of M. B. Latl- mer & Co., 1229-31 G street, preliminary to the auction sale which commences Mon- day, December 9. In'the collection are mag- nificent specimens of jades, crystals, porce- lains, bronzes, enamels, ivory carvings, Meizan Satsuma, swords, sword guards, cabinet specimens, embrotderies, screens, ete. : Almost every phase of the art development of the two most artistic races of Asia, if not of the world, is illustrated in thi ection, which is the fruit of many years’ residence in China and Japan, though some of the ob- been acquired very recently dur- ‘ar fever in Japan, under the im- pulse of which many Japanese of rank have parted with their treasures to dev, proceeds t patriotic purposes, An e: of this is in the purchased from the is Daimio.

The most expensive works are to be found among the vases. Of these the three most remarkable are small ones in enamel, by ‘amikawa Sosuke, the court enameler of Tokio. One is of a rich heliotrope hue, an- other of yellow merging into green, and the other of a brilliant rdby red. Another vase that is bound to attract attention is a dain little peachblow five and three-quarters inches high. A still more valuable one, and one of the gems of the collection, is a mag- nificent specimen of cherry red of the Kang- hsi era (seventeenth century). ——.—___ THE BIGGEST OF CLUBS. The House of Commons is the Best and Coziest Resort in the World. Frow Chambers’ Journal. A member of the house of commons is al- lowed to attach to his name the magic let- ters “M. P.,"" which are a source cf pride and gratification to himself and secure for him the respect and deference of others. These initials undoubtedly contribute, too, to his social status. Doors of social circles, hitherto locked and barred, are open wide to him, and invitations to social functions in the houses of the great and wealthy members of his party reach him during the session. Then he is a member of “‘the best elub in London.” It is, indeed, frequently denied that the house of commons still maintains that pre-eminence as a social haunt of men which it is universally ac- ; knowledged once rightly belonged to it. the house is more than it ever has been in its of a club noy centuried existence. It is provided with handsome dining rooms, smoking rooms, reading rooms, and only this year it advanced another impor- tant stage In its continuous development and progress as a club by having a suite of bath rooms and dressing rooms added to its entourage. In its smoking room may be _in the present relaxation of a chat and gossip, not only some of the most distin- guished men in the kingdom, but a far greater variety of types of men than can he encountered in the smoking room of any club in London, Mr. Labouchere, indeed, has said that a coupie of hours could be passed far more enjoyably in the smoking room of the house of commons than in the smoking room of the Carlton or Reform Club. It was the momber for Northampton also who declared that the house of com- mons was not only one of the pleasantest, but ‘one of the healthiest places in the world, and that he far preferred a month on its green benches to a month on the promenade of Brighton. ———-+e+ EIGHTEEN MILES AWAY. The Distance the Human Voice Was Heard in the Colorado Canon. From the Chicago Times-Herald. Eighteen miles is the longest distance cn record at which a man’s voice has been heard. This occurred in the Grand Canon of the Colorado, where one man shouting the name of “Bob” at one end, his voice was plainly heard at the other end. Lieut. Foster, on Peary’s third arctic expedition, found that he cculd converse with a man across the harbor of Port Bowen, a dis- tance of 6,696 feet, or about one mile and a quarter, and Sir John Franklin said that he ccnversed with ease at a distance of more than a mile. Dr. Young records that at Gibraltar the human voice has been heard at a distance of ten miles. Sound has remarkable force in water. Colladon, by experiments made in the Laxe of Geneva, estimated that a bell submerged in the sea might be heard at a @istance cf mere than sixty miles. Franklin says that he heard the striking together of two stones in the water half a mile away. Over woger on a surface of ice sound is prop- ed with great clearness and strength, Dr. Hutton relates that on a quiet part of the Thames, near Chelsea, he could hear a person read distinctly at a distance of 140 feet; while a from the water the same could only be heard at seventy-six feet. Prof. Tyndall, vhen on Mount Blanc, found the report of a pistol shot no louder than th> pop of a chempagne bottle. Persons in balloons can hear voices from the earth a leng time after they themselves are in- audible to people below. “THE WIDE WORLD ’ROUND.” United Testimony of the Globe Upon the Greatest of Modern Discoveries.—What the Nations Say.

Linn Berry has a big chicken farm in West Buxton, and has several aundred hens. He brings many eggs and chickens (dead and dressed) to Portland. He loads bis wagon the night before and starts at a.m. He has only to hitch up the hors and drive off. He did so last Monday morn- ing. Itis . drive of seventeen miles to this city. He 1eached here at just about sun- rise. As he approached the United States Ho- tel to deliver some produce some one shout- ed at him and asked if he brought his hens to market roosting on the cross bar under the wagon. He paid no attention, suppos- ing the man was guying him. But when he stopped at the hotel and others called his attention to four hens roosting under the wagon, aid just waking up, it is doubtful which was the most astonished, Mr. Berry or the hens. Two of the latter were panic-stricken and started down Federal street. One was caught on Temple street and the other got down almest to Exchange street before it was captured. The cook at the hotel bought the four hens for a dollar and took them home. How many hens were asleep under the wagon when Mr. Berry started from home he can’t tell, because his yard is overrun with hens, but it Js very possible that there were more t!an four. made of RATTAN FIBER—with * COTTON FUAL on BOTH sides, COSTS NO MORE than the one-sided, hard, knotty “shuck"’ mattresses, Comfort fs a housebold necessity.
