BELFAST HOMES. We begin this week a
series of illustrations of Belfast Homes,
which will include many of the private
residences in this city. The house shown
on the End page was built by the late James
p White and occupied for many years after
his death by members of his family. 1t is a
fine specimen of colonial architecture and
occupies a commanding position at the
junction of High and Church streets with
Northport avenue. The front of Joseph
Tyler's house is seen on the right and on
the left the c. B. Hall and j. c. Durham
house.
Brown-tail moths have been found on the
trees on lower Church street and as other
sections may be infested with these pests
they should be looked after now before the
foliage comes out. Brown-tail caterpillars,
when well grown, are tawny colored. mark
ed along the sides by conspicuous row of
pure white spots, with two red spots at the
tail Brown-tail caterpillars change to the
pupa form and emerge as moths about the
first of July Male and female brown-tail
moths are uusullied white, the female hay-
ing tuft of golden or browniSh hair at her
tail, from which the species takes its name.
The eggs hatch out late in the summer and
the young Larvae feed until the leaves be-
gin to fall, then spin winter web and
hibernate until the buds open in the spring.
The lettering and standing on street cor
ners on Sunday has been discontinued for
the first time in many years. The police
have orders to keep people moving and it is
noted with satisfaction that the usual
ness streets each Sunday as in the past.
We clip this paragraph from an article in
an exchange under the caption of "Minor
Reforms for Belfast" and have only to say
that in many years of observation we have
failed to see this Sunday lettering on the
streets. Those who would naturally lOter
on week days, when something is doing,
find greater attractions elsewhere on Sun
day, and except at the time when the Sun
day papers arrive the business streets are
deserted.
GRAPE FRUIT. The rapidly Increasing
consumption of fruit is often noted. More
oranges and bananas are now sold in Bel
fast in one week than would have supplied
years demand in old-times. A fruit that

the grape fruit, which now has its place in
the fruit stores and at the grocers beside
the boxes of oranges and lemons. This
fruit has been greatly improved since it
first came into favor. Often the skin was
so thick that there was very little fruit, and
sometimes the pulp would be juiceless. 1t
is no longer as bitter as formerly, but has
an agreeable acid flavor. The principal
supply this season has been from Florida,
and the fruit has been thin-skinned and
juicy Now we are getting the California
grape fruit, thick skinned and seedlesS, or
nearly so, but juicy and of good favor.
SEARCH AND SEIZURE. Daniel I. Ma
gee of Stock ton Springs was taken before
the police court May 10th on two search
and seizure warrants. He was found guilty
of having in his possession intoxicating
liquors for illegal sale in each case and was
sentenced to pay fine of 500 and costs
and to serve sixty days in Jail. From this
decision he took an appeal to the next term
of the supreme judicial court, and having
secured bail in the sum of $500 for each
case was released from arrest. These cases
were founded or two search and seizures
made by Sheriff CharletOn and his depu-
ties. The first was the seizure of 5 gallons
of rum at Cape JellisOn in Stockton Springs,
MAY 4th by Sheriff Carleton, who learned
the location of the goods, which were mark
ed to Daniel T. Magee. The second case
was a search and seizure at the store of
Daniel T. Magee in Stockton Springs the
night of May 18th, made by Mr.. Carleton
and Deputy Sheriff Hurd. The officers
found on the premises quarts of whiskey
and several bottles containing rum and gin.
