Talk About Apples.

The apple contains larger percent
age of phosphorus than any other fruit
or vegetable. This phosphorus is ad-
mirably adapted for renewing the es-
sential nervous matter, lethecin of the
brain and spinal cord. The old Scandi-
navian traditions represent the apple as
the food of the gods, who, when they
felt themselves to be growing old and
feeble and intirm, resorted to this fruit
for renewing their powers of mind and
body. The acids of the apple are also
of signal use for men of sedentary
habits whose livers are sluggish in ac-
ton. These acids serve to eliminate
from the body noxious matter, which,
if retained, would make the brain heavy
and dull or bring about jaundlce or skin
eruptions and other allied troubles.
The ancient practice of taking apple
sauce with roast pork, rich goose and
like dishes is based on scientific reasons.
The malic acid of ripe apples, either
raw or cooked, will neutrallZe any eX-
cess of chalky matter engendered by
eating too much meat. Fresh fruits,
such as the apple, the pear and the
plum, when taken ripe and without
sugar, diminish acidity in the stomach
rather than provoke it. Their vege-

alkaline carbonates, which tend to
counteract acidity. A good, ripe, raw ap-
pie is one of the easiest vegetable sub
stances for the stomach to deal with,
the whole process of its digestion being
completed in eighty-fve minutes. Be
sides these medical qualities of the
apple, it has great virtue for local APP
plications. The pairing of an apple cut
somewhat thick is an ancient remedy
for infamed eyes, being tied on at night
when the patient goes to bed. In
France a common remedy for intiamed
eyes is an apple poultice, the apple be-
the eyes without any intervening sub
stance.-Chicago Record-Herald.

Revival Meetings in the Rural Districts

Our Prospect correspondent writes: About |
the most interesting event here TINS winter
was the series of meetings by Rev. U. NJ
Chase and Mr.. Edward Barrett. an eVahse-
llst singer, both of Canaan. quite num-
Der rose for prayers and much interest was
manifested. The meetings were held at the
ROBERTS SchOOlhOuse near the town line ana
the attendance was good from both towns
Rev. 0. NJ. Chase is known as an able
speaker and evangelical worker all over
New England, with nearly 80 years service.
HIS principal talk is about practical re-
llglon, without isms or creeds, and he mas
gilt to speak the truth as it ought to De
spoken, in manner to influence those VINO
near 1t spoken. Somehow religious interest
Is on the wane in the rural districts. one
reason is that the interested are too widely
scattered. Then there is class who claim
to be good enough without saying anything
about Bible teachings publicly, and few re-
HglouS papers are taken or read IN the
rural districts. The most searching and
fluent talk is political, and there are some
champions of reforms that seem almost Won
derful with the small resources to do with
Ihey want graded schools, good roads, TO
group town supervisors, and to Introduce
kindergarten and agricultural teaching land
some of these reformers object to the use of
the schoolhouse for holding religious meet
lngs or Sunday school. There never was
Canaan in politics and never will be; and
but very little to incline peoples hearts to
Righteousness, or declare a risen Saviour, in
all the political pulls. Christian people
should write what pertains to Christianity,
| but as there are no writer's here | Will give
some of my sentiments: Words tend to
| form character, and have an influence for
good or evil; and there would be little mis-
take in saying that a man who swears is not
| religious. Nor is there much religion in
man who is always haTping and picking up
| past mistakes to proclaim before the young
and recalling the misdoing OF person who
has started to try to live a protessed Chris
tlan life. There is not much Christianity in
man who lives on doctrine with the prac-
teal left out. nor in one who speaks against
the Bible and its teachings 1t is great mis-
take to know SO little about the Scriptures.
L have my doubts about many of the ntiu-
entail ones in a community. They should
know more and do more to proclaim a risen
Saviour. He came to world that did not
want him, to a race that hated him. and to
his own who received L.m not, and came off
more than conqueror, as the Prophets fore
told. Now in the rural districts the pro-
fessed Christians are only a very few, and
some are not over Jealous, but somehow the
light shines and statistics SHOW a gain out
side of the rural districts somewhere. The
little churches are about all gone now, and
many OF the new doctrines. easy to live by,
are liked by the people. F. 7.

LIFE.

We are each of us making patchwork
All Of us old and young;
And the pieces are all provided,
And sent to us one by one.
And when they come to us folded
And we don't know how to turn,
We must just give up our puZzling
And look to heaven and learn.
Sometimes our work seems useless
And with signs of discomfort,
We wish that something greater
For our life work had been sent,
But there's one who watches our labor
With earnest, tender care,
And when we are trying to please him
He makes it wondrOuS fair.
He will examine our stitches
When the hour of trial shall come,
And he will look to the motive
That helped us to take each one;
And he judges US very kindly
And allows for the falling tear
That kept us at times from. seeing
How to thread our needles clear.
You will see that all your pieces
Were cut and prepared for you.
The light and the dark together,
With judgment unerring and true.
And the work that looked the darkest
Now seems the brightest and best;
mat your eyes are no more weary
And have entered the heavenly rest.

Oak Hill Granite Quarry.

The Belfast correspondent of the Bangor
Daily News gives the following interesting
history and description of the Oak Hill
granite quarry in Swanville:
1t was opened and for many years owned
and operated by a company composed of the
following members: Samuel Otis, Ebenezer
Newell George B. Ferguson, Albert Gam
mans and Eben Littlefeld, all of Belfast
The quarry is five miles from Belfast and
three miles from the wharves at City Point
1t is less than half mile from the Maine
Central railroad. The granite is loaded on
the cars at what is known as Sargent's
Crossing, and good driving roads lead down
both sides of the hill railroad has been
has been discontinued. The supply of stone
is said to he inexhaustble. 1t is of extra
fine quality, of a clear blue gray color, and
has been and still is, in great demand for
the finest monumental work. 1t is a hard
stone to cut, but its hardness gives it addi-
tional value for hammered and sculptured
work, it being one of the very few GRANTEES
in which the human features can be sue
cessfully chiselled 1t ranks second to the
famous Westerly granite of Rhode Island,
which it SO closely resembles that many Of
the Westerly orders have been filled from
it. The New England Granite Co. of West
erly built sheds at City Point in 1883, and
for some time finished monuments there.
This company wished to buy the quarry,
or lease it for term OF 80 years at $4,000
per year, but the offers were refused. The
Oak Hill Granite Co. continued to work the
quarry until the failing health and death of
the active members checked operations, and
the quarry was leased to several different
parties for short periods of time. Now only
one member OF the old company survives.
The quarry is practically idle. John
Peavey, with small crew, supplies the de-
| mand Of the local dealers, and ships few
New York paving blocks. Many passen-
ger on the passing trains remarks upon the
splendid mountain of stone and the idle
derricks. This quarry certainly offers a
good field to man of experience and capt.

way at Rockland receiving repairs and

neighborhood of $1,000. Chief among
these improvements will be new deck

Belfast, Maine.

Dear Sir: For your house, no matter
what's the matter with tit isn't human
you know-a prescription:
Devoe lead and zinc. Apply with brush,
from one to three coatS-get a painter to do
it.
Your State chemist knows all about
Devoe; has analysed it; reports it pure;
will analyZe it occasionally. He buys it
wherever he likes-it is generally in the
best paint-StOre in town.
You know what the color and dryer are
for; do you know what the lead and zinc
and Oil are for? Not being painter, you
may not choose to know; but we'll tell you.
Lead and zinc and oil combine to form
mulberry waterproof coat to keep out damp
ness. That's the whole business.
The oil would do it alone; lead and oil
would do it, without zinc zinc and oil with
out the lead; but the three together are
best, because they wear best.
We say to you, "get painter" as we'd
say to him ''get doctor"-every man to his
trade. Can't all be painters and doctors !;
don't want to.
You will be more successful in prosper
