 Everywhere may be heard the assur- ance that the preservation of peace de- bends upon the preparedness for war. Who wants war? Do the manufa cturers, merchants, mechanics, farmers, artisans, women or children want war? Whose voice, among the millions who inhabit those countries that are making all those preparations, asks for war? It is said, and reiterated, that the most cordial and

That she may with much thought and care prepare for the coming season. and give an amount of time which might be considered unwarrantable by her English sisters, Is certainly true, but the thought the time and the care are given chiefly to insure her being able to pur- chase the best goods, the newest fashions. in the cheapest market, or, if her means are ample, to buy such clothes as will be serviceaple to her and fulfil the re-
 auirements for which they are destined. But the extravagant French woman is rare.
 cannot but say that I think a great deal of the enormous expenditure in dress has been brought about by the rich Amer ican who, having plenty of money and being as a rule unencumbered by the calls which great estates often entail, has been able to put down more ready money upon the luxuries of life than . women in other countries, and therefore the pace has been set going which others are panting to emulate.
 Nothing Is moro interesting than to watch the evolution os an idea, and the thought that is rapidly gaining ground in the church is undoubtedly that, while much of the premise of Christian Science is altogether false great many of the statements are not only in accord with the teaching of Christianity, but are
 essential truths which have been over looked through lack of faith. That the power of healing was given must be unquestioned by all who read the Gospels, and to say that such power
 after a time was withheld other than be- cause of the unbelief of the followers or

In a country where the people rule the people should declare for peace or war. Rulers are merely guardians 70 whom is entrusted the public welfare for the pub lie good, not their own aggrandizement or glory. Unless the life, liberty or property of the people Is threatened no ruler should declare war, and then only when all other means of averting war had failed Prepared and fully armed, a nation ia far more likely to try conclusions by an appeal to the sword than by an appeal to reason. Prepared for war simply means superior to an enemy, and the enemy being inferior is unprepared and hastens to make the necessary prepara- tions by adding to his force until, at least, the point of equality is reached. Thus the game proceeds which will result sooner or later In the inevitable clash of arms the smash of armies and navies, the overturnng of thrones, the desola- ton of nations Prepared for war is to be deslrous for war, and those who earnestly desire a thing seldom fail to find a reason to accomplish the fulill- ment of their desires.

from the University Of the South at
Sewanee. Tenn. and from the divinity
school of the same institution, being
ordained to the priesthood by Bishop
Kip of California. He was a professor

Has Done Good Work in Winterport.

To THE EDITOR OF The JOURNAL:
Having noticed the interest taken by
The journal in the subject of the King
road drag, and its request concerning the
same, I take this opportunity Of inform
ing you that one of the surveyors in this
town built one of these drags last spring
and used it in his district one day, over a
road that had been graveled two years
before, putting it in better shape than
when first graveled, and in which shape
and condition it remained all summer.
l have never seen SO much good road
work accomplished for so little money
invested since 1 have been close OBJ
server of road work, which extends over
a period of more than twenty-five years,
and l am therefore an advocate of the
frequent use of this valuable road instru-
ment upon our roads to assist in keeping
them in good condition after they have
once been rebuilt.
Yours for road improvement,

The King Drag in Waldo Co
1t Has Proved Very Satisfactory in Mont
Vile

To THE EDITOR OF THE JOURNAL: l
noticed in The Journal of December 18th
clipping in relation to the King drag
for roads, and also request from you
for information in regard to its practical
value. Ny neighbor, Mr.. Geo. Lowell,
one of the road commissioners in Mont
vile, who has between rs and 30 miles of
road to repair, used one over nearly all
of his roads last spring. The cost of the
drag was less than $500. He put steel
plate on it to keep it from wearing out
and also to increase it's efficiency in
smoothing, which added to its cost.
His method of use was to haul it with
four horses, loading it with as much
weight as the horses could reasonably
haul. He began to use it as soon, or
perhaps little before, the frost was out
of the ground, going over the road twice
or more if he thought it bettered the
road by using it more. AS an experiment
he tried it on very bad quagmire place
about Is rods long. 1t is always very
bad place in the spring. He hauled it
with four heavy horses with as much
weight on it as they could haul, being
almost knee deep in the mud. He went
over it four times and when he got through
it had damned the mud down so hard
that it would hold boy 10 years old and
the water that was in the mud was on
top. It began to dry off, and in few
days would hold up loaded team. The
result was almost wonderful.
| also had good chance to see it work.
ing in the town Of Liberty and from a
careful observation the results may be
summarized thereby. 1t levels the road,
digs out the rocks on top, presses the
ground down, causing the roads to dry off
quicker; it also presses the ground down
so hard that it keeps hard all summer
and consequently does not wash as badly.
Much praise was given Mr.. Lowell for
using the drag, as the roads were certain
ly much better the past year than they
generally were years before, with as much
money laid out from them. The drag will
do all that is claimed for it, and its use
will make better roads at less expense
than any way that has ever been prac-
ticed in our country towns. do not
write this for publication, but just to give
you some information in regard to its
use out here. Towns that use them make
no mistake. Yours respectfully,
J. C. CAREY.

ed by Census.
According to the census just completed
by the State board of assessors, there
are 157,836 hens in Kennebec county,
and the estimated value of the eggs
which they have produced in the past five
years is $193, 626.04 and the estimated
value of the poultry produced in that
period is $40, Sl5.48, total OF 1854, AL. :
The number of turkeys in the county is
1T. and the produce from these birds in
five years is estimated at $625.20. The
ducks number only APO, and the estimat-
ed worth of their produce in the five
wears is $7O2.25. The geese aggregate
only IA, and the estimate of the value
of their produce is 1856. so.
Compared with the census of 1903 the
increase in hens has been IS, 800, turkeys
IS. ducks 147, while geese have decreas-
ed six. Augusta has the largest number
of hens, 11,56S, Oakland takes the prize
on turkeys, 80, and China has the most
ducks, 100. Unity has the smallest num-
Der of hens, 221; Hallowell has the small
est number of turkeys, two; Albion has
only two ducks, while Randolph has only
one goose.

Want Bounty on Dogfsh.

Another attempt was made last week
by the Maine fishermen to interest Pres
ident Roosevelt in the proposed bounty
on dogfish, but he has not been heard
from and letter will be sent to Presi-
dent-elect Taft calling his attention to
the matter. The headquarters of the
movement for the determination of the
dogfsh, called the pests of the ocean, are
at Orr's island.
Those who are especially interested in
the movement, and who have made a
study of existing conditions, say that
with the aid of bounty fishing vessels
would be fitted out for the special de-
struction of the dogfish and that they
would be made into fertilizer. They
believe that in few years the industry
would be self-supporting.
They say that the mackerel have been
nearly driven from the Atlantic coast by
the dogfsh. The fishermen say that if
the dogfish are not exterminated they
will drive off or kill all the fish now used
for food,

Though broken signs and glistening tears
Speak volumes for the withered years
Since fate pronounced us one,

And leave traceless path behind
For aught beneath the sun.
But will bind them to my heart
Until the hour that babe US part

And lonely years have paid the debt
| truly owe to thee.

Where dropping branches softly wave
Around your earthly tomb.

Or summers lovely moon.
try to trace with guideless feet
The path where loving hearts would meet,
But find that all is vain;
For mortal cannot cope with fate,
Nor grasp the key to future state
Bestowing peace or pain.
IT'S said that all who truly love
A father, God, Who dwells above,
p At death unto Him go.
But though such words may be as true
As that the sky shows azure blue,
What man hath means to know?
Yet, if within the realms of space
A Father hath prepared place
Where love illumes the day,
pray He take my willing hand,
And lead me toward that better land,
Lest doubt obscures my way.
Though once the distance seemed afar
Between full life and gates ajar -
To-day it seems not great,
And ere yon moon completes her round
may, like you, sleep meath the ground
Beyond the mystic gate.
