The farmers have their cellars full of
apples for which there is practically no
sale. The fruit is of excellent quality
but was so abundant in quantity as to
in the English market have been reported,
and it is said that there will be a good
demand for Maine russets during the next
two or three months, but that there will
be more or less risk after this in sending
Baldwins in barrels. No doubt there is a
market somewhere for this surplus Maine
fruit, but the problem is where to find it
and how to reach it.

IL the December Forum Rev. William
Bagard Hale discusses Another Year Of
Church Entertainments in the same vein
of his article in the January, 1896, num-
bei Of The Forum, "A Study Of Church
Entertainments. Dr. Hale's criticisms
are severe but not unmerited. Happily
hut one church entertainment in Maine is
included in his list; and that of course
was not in Belfast. The object of this
and the preceding articles is to demon
stiate that there are too many churches,
or rather too much sectarianism. Says
Dr. Hale of the money getting schemes
referred to: ''The r0ison d etre of these
things is in the fact that hundred and
forty sects have fastened themselves upon
& people who cannot support them The
show is the only means by which thou
sands Of our innumerable and unnecessary
religious societies can pay their bills. "
Dl. Hale practices what he breaches. In
1898 he lectured at oxford University,
aud preached in leading English churches.
Having repeatedly declined preferment,
he lives as a mission priest at MiddieborO,
Mass, here he founded, and has for
tive yeals with great success conducted,

Nervous

People often wonder why their nerves are
SO weak; why they get tired SO easily;
why they start at every slight but
sudden sound; why they do not sleep
naturally; why they have frequent
headaches, indigestion and
PaIpitation of the Heart.
The explanation is simple. 1t is found in
that impure blood which is contin-
ually feeding the nerves upon refuse
instead of the elements of strength and
vigor. In such condition opiate and
nerve compounds simply deaden and
do not cure. Hoods Sarsaparilla feeds
the nerves pure, rich, red blood; gives
natural sleep, perfect digestion, SELF
control, vigorous health, and is the
true remedy for all nervous troubles.

was far from well they We're led by his uni
forlnly cheerful aud genial spirit and con-
versation TO hope that his illness was not
