These remedies are combined in IoZ-
engc form. pleasant to take, and will
preserve their good qualities indefinite
ly, whereas all liquid medicines rapid
ly lose whatever good qualities they
may have had as soon as uncorked and
exposed to the air
This preparation is called Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets and it is claimed
that one of these tablets or lozenges
will digest from 800 to 5000 times it's
own weight of meat, eggs and other
wholesome food. And this claim has
been proven by actual experiments in
the following manner: A hard boiled
egg cut into small pieces was placed
in bottle containing warm water
heated to ninety-eight degrees Cor
blood heaD, one of these Tablets was
then placed in the bottle and the prop
er temperature maintained for three
hours and half. at the end of which
time the egg was as completely digest
! ed as it would have been in a healthy
stomach. This experiment was under
taken to demonstrate that what it
would do in the bottle it would also do
| in the stomach, hence it's unquestion-
able value in the cure of dyspepsia and
weak digestion. Very few people are
| free from some form of indigestion but
scarcely two will have the same symp-
| toms. Some will suffer most from
distress after eating, bloating from
gas in the stomach and bowels, others
have acid dyspepsia or heartburn,
others palpitation or headaches, sleep
llessness, pains in chest and under
shoulder blades, extreme nervousness
as in nervous dyspepsia, but they all
have same caue, failure to properly d.
Igest what is eaten. The stomach
must have rest and assistance. and
lStuarts Dyspepsia Tablets give il
both, by digesting the food for it and
lin short time it is restored to it's nor
NAL action and vigor. At same time
the Tablets are so harmless that q
child can take them with benefit. This
new preparation has already made
lmany astonishing cures, as for in
lstancc. the following:

Everybody along Water street knows
Tramp" the dog which for more than
two years, has been kept by the at
taches Of the American Express Com
panys office in this city. Formerly
Tramp was owned in the country. His
master lived in Whitefield. One day
master and dog came to Augusta where
they became separated. The dog
meandered around the streets and
finally was made of by the boys at the
express Office. So far as his owner
knew the dog was lost, for he was
Obliged to return to his home unaccom-
panied by his canine friend. Days
drifted along but the dog never re-
turned to his home in the country. He
had become enamored of the life he
had entered in the metropolis of Ken
nebec county and here he proposed to
stay. He was well fed and well cared
for. After a time his former owner
relinquished all claim to him and he
is now monarch of the express Office
During the week he gets along very
well. but on Sunday he gets lonesome
The boys are at home then, and so tC
relieve the monotony he follows Officer
Hanks about on his beat and is con-
tent He is part Shepherd, and is very
intelligent and knowing.

SNOW STORM INTERPRETERS.
Ice Cutting on kcnnebec Delayed by
Recent Storm.

The snow fall of Saturday and Sun
day will delay the beginning of ice
cutting on the Kennebec, although the
delay will not extend over a day at
the most, though perhaps the rain
which followed the snow might posi-
bly, prevent the ice-cutting operations
from starting up until the middle of
the week.
All day Sunday Manager George N.
Lawrence of the American Ice Co.
had crews of men at work scraping the
snow along the edges of the ice fields
up and down the river to prevent the
ice from sinking from the weight of
the heavy, damp snow upon it.
Il do not think" said Mr.. Lawrence
to Journal man, yesterday, that we
will be delayed more than a day. I'M
cause greater damage than we now
anticipate.
I'VE had planned to begin operations
on Monday at the Lodges, Modoc, Lin
coin and Swan Island houses, if
changes in the weather did not inter-
fere with our plans.
The cold weather of the last week
has been of great benefit to the ice
fields and l judge that the ice will
average 10 inches i'm thickness and it
is or good quality. We have been
housing ice at the Hodges. lceborO,
Cedar Grove, Berry, and HathOrne
houses and must have put away at
least 1000 tons"

he shipment of apples from belfast

The shipment of apples from Belfast
and vicinity has been larger this year
than during any previous season, and
tie farmers have reaped a golden har-
vest. The average price paid them has
been Se.75 per barrel, but for fancy
stock the prices have ranged higher.
Pitcher & Lancaster Of Belfast, have
shipped 5000 barrels of good apples,
largely for export, and II cars of cider
apples to firm in New York state.
j. c. Pi!lsbury has shipped $500 bar
rels on the Belfast branch of the Maine
Central, the shipments being made
from Brooks, Waldo and Belfast. These
apples have also been chiefly exported.
Perhaps the largest yield of apples
has been from the orchard of Joseph
Littlefield of Brooks, who has sold
about $50 barrels. Leonard Cooper of
the firm of Cooper & Co., Belfast, has
sold 235 barrels from his farm in
Montville. The apples are still coming
in and F.. M. Lancaster is loading a
car which will go forward very shortly.
1t almost seems as though Names
abandoned farms might yet be made

Meetings Being Held.

vices at First Baptist.

the severe storm of yesterday con-
tinued all day. And the heavy rair
with thunder and lightning just at the
time of the service seemed to remove
the possibility of holding the union re.
yival meeting which had been an.
nounced. But whoever reached such q
conclusion did not take into account
the deep interest taken by the people
in these services, nor yet the intense
spiritual awakening which holds the
city in it's power.
The people began to gather long be-
fore the time announced for the meet
ing. When the service opened a large
and enthusiastic audience had assem-
bled. Professor DEMO of Bangor Theo-
logical Seminary. opened the service by
reading in most effective manner the
story of the Prodigal Son.
Rev. Mr. Hope, the preacher of the
evening, took for his subject Mans
Need of God" Mans need of God was
not created by his want of salvation,
nor by his desire for God nor by his
suffering. nor even by his sin. 1t was
the great Augustine who said Man
was made for God, and is lonesome I'M
til he find Him." The truth Is man is
not man apart from God, only when he
finds and gives himself to God does he
reach the ideal. Without God man be-
comes a sinner, sin creates the need Of
a Saviour. redeemer therefore, Chris
came to humanity, He is hero, tonight
offering redemption from the guilt and
power of sin.
Ir the after service which followed
one young man resolved to begin the
Christian life. These meetings have
created such an interest that they will
be continued through another week
They will start on the fifth week, to-
night. in the First Baptist. The meet

CANDLEMAS DAY.
The Origin Of the Festival and Why
it Is Celebrated.
Pleasant Candiemas Means
Second Winter.

Yesterday was Candlemas day. In its
ecclesiastical meaning 1t is the feast OF
the publication of the Blessed Virgin Ma
~, and is annually observed on Feb. 9.
1t is strictly kept by the Roman Catholic
church. on which occasion the candles re-
luired for the service of the ensuing year
Ire consecrated.
The English church also recognizes the
custom of carrying candles as being done
in memory of Christ. But an older and
heather origin is ascribed to the prac-
dce: That the Romans were in the habit
Of burning candles on this day to the
goddess Febena, the mother of Mars.
And Pope Sergius. seeing it would be use
less to prohibit practice of so long
standing, turned it to Christian account
by enjoining similar Offering to the
Blessed Virgin. This practice has come
DOWN through the ages and is observed
with the same solemnity as in the days
of old.
Many traditions are in existence regard
ing Candlemas day. Nearly all of them
have a bearing upon the weather a
pleasant or stormy Candlemas giving
the rest of the winter in adverse ratio.
The old-time Scotch tradition is expressed
as follows:
eff Candlemas is fair and clear
Thcre'll be two winters in the year"
Another and more modern idea is con-
tanned in the following couplet:
so far as sun shines in on Candlemas
day,
So sure will snow blow in before May"
Yesterday was not fair and clear nor
did the sun shine. Therefore. If the ira
ditions and prognostigations of the poet
are founded upon truth and accuracy, the
spring will come early to delight the
hearts of ALL
