Notes from Mrs. LiyermOre'S Address at the W.
G. 7. l. Convention In Bath.

| There Is widespread excitement in this
try at present over the liquor question. Is there
anything to really justify such state of things?
Let rs see But first let say that my facts are
taken from headquarters and not from the news
papers loE can't trust the newspapers. They
are generally inclined to see things as they wish
to see them, and have mlsrcTcsented me on most
occasions NoW for the facts According to the
National i:ureaG Of Statistics, excluding the drug
shop sales and liquors used for mechanical pur
poses, there We're last year drank up in the United
States 3903a,a90 worth of alcoholic beverages.
You ask, how are those figures reached? From
the returns OF the ljpIor-sccrs themselves and as
they are taxed according to the quantities of stufs
sold by them 1t is certain they have esti-
mated then business. 10 comprehend this vast
sum, think for moment of that great fire in Chi
cago, when thousands were made homeless and
the sympathies of the whole world were awakened
the terrible suffering caused by this loss. Yet
the wealth destroyed in that city was only :2,00o,-
600. Therefore, If every man, woman and child In
America would sign the pledge and keep for
year, we could then afford to burn up four Chica-
goes and still have sl,oooG00 balance.
Bat it costs u something more than the bare
money !iaid for the liquor. in Massachusetts we
have three state prisons and are soon to have
fourth. In the wolneua reformatory 81 out of
every 200 are there from drink. In the mems re

Disastrous floods have befallen the Provinces

vessels totally lost, 50; wrecked vessels, 800 !;
persons wounded, injured, and receiving public
assistance, 52 900.
The whole of the new embankment of Yel-

The apple crop in Maine, from all that can
he learned from the best sources. is to he some
what below the average. In some localities
there will be none for sale outside OF the cOun-
try, and some counties will even have to buy
for their own consumption. Those who have
large orchards that promise good yield are of
course the fortunate ones for high prices are
anticipated. The apple crop abroad Is poor.
The apple districts on the continent report not
above half crop, while the English and Scotch
crops are light. In France the crop is very
short in consequence of unfavOrable weather,
aud in Belgium there Is only medium yield of
the early varieties while of the latter sorts the
crop is very small English buyers cannot OBJ
tain their supplies from the continent as Is
generally the case when there is light crop at
home, consequently they will look to our cOun-
try for their more than usual shipments. And
when there is good foreign demand for
American apples Maine growers are sure to
reap the advantage of the call.

When | was travelling in Germany I
learned that there was superstition in
regard to the fortieth year of each century
that was held by all Prussians and that
has its foundation in the history Of the
empire. The fortieth year of each century
is regarded by them as marking the begin
ming Of . new era, and in standardization
Of their belief they s. back to the fifteenth
century. Frederick Hohenzollarn was .
simple burgrsve Of Nuremberg, who rose
TO great distinction and acquired large
wealth. In the early part Of the fifteenth
century the old electoral house Of Bran
denburg died out and the right to name q
successor fell to the emperor Of Germany.
Frederick Hohenzollern bought the title,
but the nobility opposed his purchase, and,
after the fashion Of those days some hot
fighting ensued which resulted in a decis-
i've victory for Frederick in the year l44O.
This 10 considered the beginning of the
political and military power OF the house
of Hohenzollern- In l54o the elector OF
Brandenburg embraced the Protestans
religion In 1910 the great eiector. - hs
was called. assembled the throne, and by
skillful diplomacy and power Of arms
acquired the kingdom Of Prussia which
he added to Brandenburg, thus doubling
and trebling the strength Of his priu-
cipaIty. In It'd Frederick ths Grsas
assembled the throne, and in 1910 Freder.
lex William ~ ascended the throne. and
was succeeded by his brother. the present
emperor. During Frederick William
