EARLY APPLES.

Varieties That Bring Good Money to
a Delaware Grower.
OF course we all understand that To-
cation and soil make a great difference,
but with us the early apples that are
profitable are the Yellow Transparent,
the Fourth Of July and the Williams
Red. We grow principally early ap-
pies. The Early Ripe is a better apple
than the Early Harvest. It is like it,
only the tree is a stronger grower and
the fruit more uniform We have found
in late years the apples that bring mon

A Curse Made a Messing.

IF the free alcohol bill becomes a
law 1t will turn the most brutal curse
into an incalculable blessing. Denat-
ured alcohol Is a liquor undrinkable.
1t cannot be used as a beverage be-
cause the substance that was used to
change It does not make it palatable.
An exchange says, 1t has been a hard
question hitherto to answer Why did
the Almighty put alcohol into every
thing that grows to poison and madden
the human racer But 1t will be an

Shipping Live Poultry.

In shipping live poultry the coop
should be high enough to allow the
fowls to stand upright without bending
their legs. When large coops are used
there should be partitions, so that If
the coops are tipped all the fowls are
not thrown to one side. They should
have plenty Of room in the coop. II
possible, put only one kind in a coop
or in one division of the coop.

A party Of five Augusta gentlemen
went out to Three-mile pond Saturday
morning to fish for pickerel. Just before
leaving the city one Of the quintet was
appointed keeper of bait and a large
gallon can in which there was quite a
number of large sinners was given
over to his keeping. The gentlemen at
tended to a few business matters be-
fore starting and finally left the city
and after a long drive arrived on the
shores of the frozen pond. The lines
and traps were made ready and then
ali attention centered upon the bait
Keeper. This gentleman was quite red
in the face and suddenly he burst out
with: Say fellows. I'm awful sorry,
but I'm afraid I've left that bait down
town." The expression on the faces Of
the five were quite study, but final
ly they all agreed that they didn't care
about fishing anyway and they re-
turned to Augusta. reaching Water
street along about noon. When the CEN
trail portion of the city was reached two
of the mcn climbed off the wagon and
one reached under the seat to pull out
his tackle basket and MS hand struck
something icy cold. With a hurried ex-
clamation he pulled the object forth
and there, 10 and behold. was the gal
ion can of bait. The bait keeper was
busy all day Sunday telling them how
it happened, but he will have to put up
a box Of Havanas before his friends
will let it rest. How he came to think
that he had left the bait in town is a
mystery that even he is unable to solve.

INTERESTING FACTS
For Nearly Every Man, Woman OF
Child.

a short time ago We published an
article recommending to our readers
the new discovery for the cure Of
Dyspepsia, called Stuarts Dyspepsia
Tablets, and the claim then made re-
garding the wonderful curative prop
critics of the remedy have been abund-
antly sustained by the facts. People
who were cautious about trying new
remedies advertised in the newspapers
and We're finally induced to give
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets a trial We're
surprised and delighted at the results.
In many cases a single package cost
ing but 80 cents at any drug store
made a complete cure and in every
instance the most beneficial results
were reported. From hundred or
more received we have space to pub
lish only few of the latest but assure
our readers we receive SO many COM
mandatory letters that we shall pub
list each week a fresh list OF genuine
unsolicited testimonials and never pub
lish the same one twice.
From James Yemmcisler. Lacrosse.
Wis: Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are
doing me more good than anything I
ever tried and l was so pleased at re-
suits that l gave away several boxes
to my friends who have also had the
same benefits.
From Jacob Anthony. Portmurray,
New Jersey: / have taken Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets with the best re-
suits. l had Dyspepsia for years. and
had taken a great deal of medicine,
but the Tablets seemed TO take right a
hold and 1 feel good. 1 am a farmer

mend to everyone who has any trouble
with his stomach to use these Tablets.
From Mrs. NJ. X. West. Preston.

Readers of the Journal will recall
that about two months ago patrons of
the mail service who bad experienced
much annoyance because of the snow
biockades on the Wiscasset. Water
Vile * Pennington Railroad last win
ter, made Il request TO the post office
department for a stage route from
Augusta to Weeks Mills. and at the
time that the application was made it
appeared that the department would
grant the request The management of
the railroad, however. gave assurances
to the department that the road would
be III condition this winter to give a
good mail service, and on the strength
OF the assurance the department did
not grant the request for stage

it the remainder of the season is as
free from storms as that which has al
ready passed the road will have no

The regular patrons Of a certain shop
on water street not a thousand miles
from the poStoflice have been some
what mystiied of late at the peculier
SOUNDS mat cmanata from the back
part OF the store during the early hours
of the business day. These sounds
which are those caused by an airgun.
have continued for some time and it
was not until Saturday that the cause
therefor became apparent. Now, how
ever. the mystery is cleared up and the
public deserves the sequel. 1t seems
that the rear portion of the store has
been infested with rodents since winter
set in and the proprietor of the place
has been unable to affect their evacua-
ton of his premises. He has at last
solved the problem. however. for his
clerks are equipped with a large and
very powerful spring airgun and each
morning the clerks take turns in scar
ing out the rats and shooting them.
This accounts for the sounds that have
caused apprehension of late and as the
pests have disappeared almost com
pletely. the morning shoot will probably
be abandoned.

$4,000 GIFT.
| Boston Elevated Railway Rewards Its
Faithful Employees.

The Boston Elevated Railway Com
pany is said to have made the most
valuable New Years present that was
given by anybody in Boston this year.
Nearly 100000 in gold was distributed
among the men in the car service who
have made u sufficiently good record
during the year 1905. In round num-
bers close on to 1000 motOrmen, con-
ductors, brakcmen and other blue uni
formed employees received SIS in gold
cOir in recognition Of the company's
appreciation of their faithfulness.
This company operates nearly all of
the surface street car lines. elevated
lines and subway lines in and near
Boston and is often held up as model
for other large employers of labor to
pattern after. 1t pays higher wages
than any other street railway COM
pany. Surface car men receive 1925 to
$40 per day and elevated line men
from s1.S5 to $2.G5 per day. 1t never
discharges an employe so long as his
conduct and work is satisfactory. 1t
pensions its old employees who have
passed their days of usefulness. It
contributes toward the support of sick
and disabled employees. 1t aids those
who are in trouble by placing its legal
department at the service Of the men
for the purpose of free consultation and
advice. In fact the management takes
advantage of every opportunity to
demonstrate human interest in every
man that wears blue uniform. and
the annual distribution of gold in
recognition of faithfulness and eff
cheney is in keeping with the policy
that has made the company famous at
home and abroad for its lberality and
public spirit.

Several of the local anglers who have
tired of the mundane sport of hooking
tomcOds from the river, tried their luck
at fishing for smelt saturday, but as
far as could be learned. none met with
a success that would admit of bOasting.
While some large schools of smelt have
been known to come up the Kennebcc
river as far as Augusta, such occur
rences are noted only because OF their
rarity. and it is not often that the little
fish run well above Bath.
