New High School Building.

The new high school building be-
gins to show up finely. The brick
work is completed as far as the first
story, and work on the second story
will be pushed forward from now on.
1t is unfortunate that trouble arose
with the brickmakers, thus causing a
suspension of operations and making
it quite impossible to complete any
part of the building this wear.
The structure has a most substan-
tial appearance, and will prove an or
nament to the city and a credit to
school directors who have had the
work in charge.

EnIarges Its Borders.

The Canon Crystal Ice company,
while in operation only few months,
has found itself badly crippled for
storage capacity. To meet this need
a new ice storage room is being con-
structed. 1t will be 34x62 feet, and
is undoubtedly the best ventilated
storage room in the state. The work
is being done at this season so as to
be fully equipped for next years busi-
ness. Even at this early date con-
tracts for 1902 ice are being closed,
and the outlook for this new venture
is most promising.

Lafayette's Rosc.Leaf Bed.

Mrs. Sarah H. Bradford, mother of
the wife Of Admiral Crowinshield, tells
an amusing incident Of Lafayette's
visit to New York in 1924, which al
most became tragedy for the hero.
Some of the society bellies and their
smaller sisters, among them Mrs.
Crowninshield. resolved that he should
have bed of roses to lie on, and for
days before his expected visit they
busted themselves gathering rose
leaves. and, having filed a white silk
sack with them, conveyed it to the
house at which he was to spend the
night.
When, however, the Marquis made
his appearance next morning he was
suffering with influenza of the most
pronounced character. With French
tact he endeavored to ignore his condi.
ton, the horrid concomitants mean
while proclaiming it. and the anxiety
Of his friends being equally hard TO
silence, the truth Of the matter was
gradually revealed. Lafayette was
subject to a malady known as rose
cold. and the odor of the flowers tor
tured him. In an effort to escape from
it he rolled himself In a blanket upon
the floor. 1t pursued him, and the
draughts from the doors aggravating
the situation a cold was the logical Sc

Being q rock State, Maine abounds
in caves, of which the outside world
knows very little. 1t is true there are
no cayerns like the Mammoth Cave
in Kentucky or the Luray Caverns in
Virginia, but some of them are very
picturesque and awe-inspiring. The
Greenwood ice caves are sufficiently
interesting to be better known than
they are.
These natural curiosities are about
a dozen in number, Valleys Cave
being the largest. 1t is a double
storied cavern, the lower chambers be-
ing some four hundred or five hundred
feet in length and about twelve feet
in width. The exit is at the top of
the mountain. The upper chamber is
very much smaller, and is connected
with the first by a passage large
enough for half dozen persons to pass
abreast.
One of the caves is shaped like a
WELL and is from twenty to thirty feet
in depth. There are regular steps,
which wind around the sides to the
bottom. Here are two chambers run
ming in opposite directions, one of
which leads nearly to Observation
Rock. 1t is called Snake Passage,
and to pass through it one is obliged
to crawl On hands and knees.
The other chamber leads into a cav
ern which is large and somewhat tri-
angular, having several chambers,
one of which connects with Well
Cave. The walls of this chamber rise
upward seventy-five feet or more.
In some Of the caves ice may be
seen all the year round. and torchlight
produces beautiful effect upon the
CLASSY ice and the cavern walls.
There are two great riffs in the
mountain. one running northerly and
the other In the opposite direction.
These are great curiosities and attract
the attention of all who visit the
caves.
Amphitheatre Cave is really a great
depression in the mountain over
looked by Table Rock, the highest of
a series of rocks or lodges that con-
vey the impression of rows of benches.
Altogether, the caves are well worthy
Of visit.

The number of eggs that hen
should lay in a year depends so largely
upon circumstances of climate and food
as to render it impossible to select
any breed as the best. Individual
characteristics largely affect the result.
In all flocks, no matter which breed
may be used, there will be found some
members that lay from so to 100 per-
cent more eggs than others, even when
the hens or pullets are full sisters.
Any one who should be SO bold as to
claim any breed as the best for laying
would find others ready to make the
same claim for other breeds. Even
the best layers in a flock may be be-
hind the others the following year,
and to make claims in favor of breeds
is to refer to some particular flock
only.

Color of YoIks.

There is nothing in the color of yolks
to determine the quality of eggs. The
proportion Of the coloring matter in an
egg is very small, and the color OF the
yolk is deepened in proportion to the
coloring matter of the food. In sum-
mer, when the hens get variety of
food with plenty of green stuff, there
will be more color in the eggs. Dur
Ing the winter when grass is scarce
and there is an absence of all animal
food, the color of the yolks will be very
light Carrots will make the color of
the yolks very deep, while eggs from
fowls that have no vegetables will be
decidedly pale. Still, the quality Of
the pale yolks are just as good as those
highly colored, but as a rule the pale
eggs denote an absence Of necessary
variety in food, and we should en-
deavor to give a change when possible.
