Some men are so constituted that
they cannot see all sides Of even the

it is due to the fact that previous en-

quently seems to be all eye. The shoe
maker is most concerned about mans
feet. The architect wandering through
the great exhibit sees only the strength
The machinist notices, principally, the
engines and the tools.
But there is another kind of narrow
ness which is almost objectionable.
The narrowness Of the specialist may
be excused but that Of the pessimist-
we'll, it at least deserves our pity. Re-
Gently our attention has been called to
the 'muck-rake." Read again that
story of Bunyan's PILGRIMS PROG
RESS, in which is told the incident OF
the man who was so taken up with his
filthy occupation. that he failed to see
just above him the most beautiful
things.
There is good in every man. In
most cases there is more good than
even his best friends suspect. But
his enemies are searching for the evil
and a man usually finds what he looks
for. 1t Is not surprising, therefore
that the best Intentions sometimes

This has its compensations. for opposi.

only brings out the best that is in him

fellow who handles the muck rake-he
who sings mud-will find that he ha.
| soiled his own hands And in mos
cases 1t will be discovered that thu
filth failed to reach his mark.

deepened into night. The contrasting
blue of the mountains as they divided
these strips of vivid coloren in sky and
water, the emerald of the near by is
Stands and the mountain recesses dark
in watery shadows, made scene of
SURPRISING beauty. Such colOring and
combinations of water and mountain
scenery is never seen ia our latitude
and can scarcely be imagined. Posi-
bly, the crisp frosty air or other atmOs-
pheric condition had much to do with
it, can not tell, but so it is, beauti-
full and inexplicable. We were cold,
chilled to the hone when we returned
to Bar HarbOr that night--everybody
who had overcoats or wraps used them.
In this northern latitude there is vast
difference in climate. Overcoats are
in vogue after sun down most any even
ing and plenty of warm covering is
needed to sleep under. The warm sea-
son there, is very short and the crops
usually grown elsewhere, can not be
matured there. I was surprised to
hear that Strawberries were just com
ing in and actually found a few green
ones for sale on the streets. Green
corn was not to he had anywhere,
neither did we see the trees or flowers
common with us
The small stunted birch with its
slender stem is everywhere apparent,
SO are the evergreens, that with us are
rare. For instance the arbOr-vitae
grows wild in Maine and may be seen
anywhere along the railway. One of
the prettiest sights of Mt. Desert was
a hedge OF arbor-vitae, thick and i'm
penetrable. We also saw hedges of
stnnted white pine and spruce. Hem
lock too is abundant. and it with the
Fir are popular shade trees. In point
of raising grass we cannot touch the
Maine farmer. There is grass, grass,
everywhere, miles and miles of it, the
whole eastern section of the state seems
fairly carpeted with it. There are
millions of acres of it and all clear OF
weeds. Yet the cattle are not there
to eat 1T. When l expressed surprise
at this to a farmer, he remarked
"three months of grazing and nine
months of feeding will take the profit
off of any steer" And SO it must bt
