It is commonly inherited.
Few are entirely free from it.
Pale, weak, puny children are afflict-

And yet it may develop SO slowly as
to cause little, if any, disturbance dur

Ii may then produce dyspepsia,

running sore on the head of Grace
Goodwin, of West Franklin, Maine,
who, at eighteen years of age, testified
that she had been entirely cured OF it
by Hood's Sarsaparila, when other
medicines had failed to do her any
good whatever.
1t exhibited itself in sores on the
face and neck of the son OF Mrs. Eta
Washburn, of Kennebunk, Maine, and
in punches under the eyes OF The
daughter OF Mrs. w. E. Tewksbury, of
South Atkinson, Maine, both of whom
were radically and permanently cured
by Hoods Sarsaparilla.
The fact is, Hoods Sarsaparila is
the medicine OF all medicines for
scrofula, in either sex, at any age.
II acts directly and peculiarly on the
blood, which It rids of every 'impuritv

this can be easily proven by what it
has done in your own neighborhood.
Accept no substitute for Hoods

No substitute acts like it.
Remember, the first step toward

This brought up tue matter of freight
rates. Mr.. Saunders, speaking for the
steam road projsct, said he thought freight
rates to Boston would be 15 cents per 100
pounds. Mr.. Halman said there was no
reason Why an electric road could not carry
freight just as cheap as or cheaper than
steam road, especially as both roads
would connect with the same line of
steam boats at Castine. Mr.. Halman also
added that the Boston q Bangor steam
ship company had assured him that pass
engers could leave Boston in the evening
and reach Ellsworth early the next morn
ing.
George H. Grant favored an electric
road because it would accommodate the
greatest number of people. IL would
pick people up at their very doors, land
them in front Of the stores in Ellsworth,
and take them back to their front doors
again. A steam road, on the other hand,

The Diet of the Phoebe.

Among the early spring arrivals at
the North none are more welcome
than the phoebe. Though naturally
building its nest under an overhapg-
ing cliff of rock or earth. or in the
mouth OF cave, its preference for
the vicinity of farm buildings is so
marked that in the more thlckly set
tied parts of the country the bird is
seldom seen at any great distance
from farmhouse, except where a
bridge spans some stream, affording
secure spot for Il nest. Its coniiding
disposition has rendered 1t great fa-
vorite. and consequently 1t is seldom
disturbed. 1t breeds throughout the
United States east of the Great Plains
and winters from the South Atlantic
ana Gulf States southward.
The phoebe subssts almost entirely
upon insects, most Of which are caught
on the wing. These species are most
ly harmful. Small wild fruits and
berries comprise the vegetable food.
No cultivated fruits are disturbed by
the phoebe. 1t is evident that pair
OF phoebes must materially reduce the
number of insects near garden or
field. as the birds often, IL not always,
raise two broods year, and each
brood numbers from four to six young.

THE LOST GARDEN.


There was fair green garden sloping
From the southeast side Of the mountain
ledge;
And the earliest tint of the dawn came
cropping

Arched and varied its velvet sod:
And the glad birds sang, as the soul sup
poses
The angels sing on the hills of God.
/ wandered there when my veins seemed
bursting
With life's rare rapture, and keen delight
And yet in my heart was a constant thirst
ing
For something over the mountain-height.

Where unnamed wonders awaited me.
