N'atlrea Mho Never Saw m lloru, a Train, an Eiiine or a Hrlek llouae. The resident of South Thomaston are, in common with other Maine coat dwellers, rather behiud in the inarch of progress, and it doesn't require much to startle them. The other day a steamer passing White Head blew very a long blast from her peculiar sounding chime whistle, whereat the villagers marveled greatly, but at night they were posi tively frightened. A steam yacht in the harbor 'displayed an electric reflecting light, illuminating the sea, sky and land, and not a few of the unsophisticated ua tives, remembering the unearthly shrieks of the strange steamer, coupled the two events and concluded that the universe was about to collapse. The innocence of these people will not seem so very strange when it is remem bered that many of the natives of Mon began and other coast islauds have never seen a horse, a train of cara or a brick house, never having set foot upon the mainland. There is a man on Monhe gau island who knows the Boston and Bangor, the New York aud Bangor and all the other steamers that pass the island by sight, but although nearly seventy years old, he has never beeu on board of any kind of a steam craft, and has not the slightest conception of an engine. it is not very long since a few acres of rocky soil in outer Casco bay, kuowu as Basket island, was deserted by the only people who ever had the courage to live there an old fisherman, hi wife and daughter. These people lived in an old tumbledown rookery on the little wind swept isle, and were veritable hermits. AN 1'NCCLTlltr.D MAID. The man fished, while his wife and daughter carried on the farming opera tions, which consisted in harvesting what little coarse hay the island afford ed and carrying it on poles to the cow shed. They had no garden, not even a patch of potatoes, but were merely toil ers of the sea. The wife had not visited, the mainland for seventeen years, while the daughter had passed the entire six teen years of her life upon the lonely spot, although tho city of Portland was almost in sight The girl was bright, but untutored; pretty, but miserably clad. She wore no stockings and knew nothing of hats. The only relative she knew of outside the family circle was a half sister, who she had never seen. Her father said that this other daughter lived "out west." She lived iu Kennebunkport, York county. This daughter of the sea, much to tho surprise of some yachtsmen who once landed on the island, was able to play several popular airs npon an old accordion. She bad picked the music out by ear after hearing it played by the bauds of passing excursion steamers. A party of picnickers who landed there found Bas ket island deserted. The matted grass was alive with field mice, aud gulls perched boldly upon the rotting window sills of the old house, while in one corner lay the dilapidated accordion which had long been the chief consolation of the lonely fisher maiden. There is, perhaps, uo more lonely spot on the whole Atlantic coast of the United States than Lile au Haut, which lies far seaward off the entrance to Penobscot bay. The name given to this island by the early French voyagers is most appro priate, for it looks like a mountain half submerged iu the sea. The people are a simple, primitive set, and few of them ever visit the mainland. The island, with its fish and sheep and blueberries, is their world, and within its limited circle they are content DISCONTENTED. Some queer specimens of humanity are to be found on Isle au Haut Not long ago a yachting party went dowa there on a fishing trip, and after catch ing enough cod for a chowder went ashore to procure some milk. The yachtsmen soon fell iu with a weather beaten native who was looking along the shore, and he informed them that they could get plenty of milk, but that they would have to wait until his wife, who had gone blueberrying, returned and milked the cows. The native led the way over rocky pastures to a dilapi dated cottage, and nsherod them into the kitchen to await the return of "Ma ria." The floor was scrubbed as white as a man-o'- war's deck, the cookstove waa brightly polished and a little plot before the wiudows was gay with marigolds aud other homely flowers all the re sult of Maria's patient industry. The lord and master sat himself down npon the doorstep and thus reinitiated while busily whittling a shingle and sending np clouds of smoke from a short clay pipe. "Times aiu't as they used to be in lie er IIolt(the native pronunciation). Time was when a man might got a living here abouts. Fisliin was good 'n farmin consid'able good, but that's all gone now. Used ter be a good wharf in this here cove 'n a good fleet er vessila outer here, but that's all gone now. My father used ter be in trade here had a store down there 'n sold nigh a'uiost every thing, but that's all gone now." He said that he had been trying to sell his place house, barn, land, cows and all, for he wanted to emigrate to Washington state He wanted $300 for the whole outfit, and lie stopped smoking long enough to swear a great oath that be wouldn't take a cent less. This mua had loafed so long that tie had forgotten how to work. He seemed to feel that somehow he bad been cheated that the world owed him a liviug, but that tha Ule au Haut was a poor place in which to collect the debt Cor. New York Sun. Why the t'rarh Crop t allrd. floury A. l.llert. a veteran peach grower of Delaware, sav Unit the real cause of the peach failure In that in IX'laware, as well as in most of the other peach growing etates. the soil ha abso lutely exhausted itself for peach pro duction. That i really tho secret, and tl reason why the each crop, especially of Delaware, has Urn growing less and lis in proportion to the amount of work exiended nxii it during the last ten years. Peach growers as a general thing In America have made considerable money, aud have made it easily. The care of their trees, once they reach Urn Waring stages, costs but little, and the conservative old fellows sat down iu their farm house quietly and just let tlie price of the rich fruit drop into their laps. They starved the soil, ami they a re now reaping the consequences. They are liegiuniiig to find out that the soil of a peach orchard requires fertilizer just as much as the wheat farm doe, and nntil such aids to fruit growing have been properly used the each crop can not lie expected to lie as generous a one a it has been for several years past. New York Star. Paupera llurl.-d for F.Ility-tUe Centa. The bids for city undertaking, which were opened in the health office, show a considerable anxiety on the part of the undertaker tosecuro the contract. There were only two bidders, August Leffert and Henry Snyder, but the low figures which they quoted leave little room for other bids. August Leffert offered to furnish coffins and bury all paiqicrs or other jierson ordered to bo buried by the city nt f J..VI for children under VI years of age and $1.50 for adults. Henry Snyder's bid was even lower. Ho offered to bury all piiniors in the city limits at the rate of seventy cents for children and eighty-five cents for adults.

Before 1S01 it will probably reach a membership of 20,000. "Ad vancement of wheeling" ha always been the motto of the league, and the good roads of the country owe their condition to the efforts of this band of 'cyclists. In 18i0 ninety riders assembled in New port to form mi organization for their protection and for highway improve ment From this seed the league has sprung with mnshroomlike growth, un til its societies extend into all parts of wheeldom. The practical advantage of membership consist in the assistance of the whole body to secure better road in neglected localities, legal assistance when road privileges are denied riders, nnd reduced rate at the league hotels, which are located in all important citios of the country.

This remarkable change is preceded by a tingling sensation, espe cially in the thumbs and great .toes, fol lowed with suppuration at the bed of tbe nail From the tune of the first Uu gling sensation at the root of the nails, a week scarcely elapses before every nail on toe and finger have been spontaneously abed like the skin of a snake or tbe shell of a crab. Tbe learned M. D. attribute this curious affection of tbe nail to a disordered nerv function.

New York Telegram. . Devoted to One Hook. Col. Fitzpatrick is a second W. II. H. Murray. He love the field, the brooks and the wood for their own sake, and spends all of his spare time among them. Early li'st month he went down to Main on a fishing excursion. The result of his trip he ha not yet fully revealed. Une thing is certain, he brought back very few fish, and he had rather be laugh ed at than tell a lio. So ho hold his tongue. Ho may have caught a larga numlicr of fish. If so, he is too modest to tell about them. "Whnt did you do if you didn't fish, Fitz?" asked a friend. "I studied all the time." "What did you study'i" "Oh, I had ft book I got in Boston, and dovoted all my time to it." "What kind of a book, may I ask?" "Certainly; it was a book of Hies I bought here in a gun store."
