NAMES LUMBER CUT.
About 7OO,OOO,OOO Feet the Yield This
Year.

About /OU,UUU,OUU Feet the 1lelu Ills
Year.
With the seasons lumber cutting
operations practically at an end it is es-
timated that the cut in Maine this year
amounts to about 100000 feet. AS
compared with other seasons these fig
ures show no appreciate gain or loss,
the anticipated heavy falling-off from
last seasons cut being overcome, to a
considerable extent, by the late spring.
A considerable quantity Of snow remain
ed on the ground up to very recently,
making it possible to pursue logging
operations later than usual.
The prospects for good season among
the lumber mills and pulp mills are very
bright, with promising outlook for log
driving operations and with prices for
manufactured lumber greatly improved
over those prevalent year ago.
Much of the lumber cut will be taken
to the pulp mills to be converted into
paper. The Great Northern paper com
pany, which consumes most of the pulp
wood in the State, has about 1877, OOO, OOO
feet of lumber cut, about lO3, 900, 600
feet of which will be ground up at the
company's mills at Millinocket, while the
remainder will be taken to Madison.
During the winter this company employ
ed about 3, 400 woodsmen on the Penob-
scot and 1900 on the Kennebec rivers
and has now force of about ], 7OO men
driving logs down to the mills.

A Successful Grower of Onions.

L. B. Harding of Troy, Me-, is one of our
most progressive and up-to-date farmers, and
is one of the few in this vicinity who has made
success of raising onions. His last great
crop was marvel, wonder to all who beheld
it; eight hundred bushels of the Yellow Dan
vers variety grown acre of ground.
These were sold as soon as harvested at ninety
cents per bushel.
He has been accustomed to raising them on
the same land year after year. and as he follow
ed the same method each year, the soil had
become very fertile when he obtained his great
crop. This is his method: In the spring he
spreads on stable dressing at the rate of forty
double horse loads to the acre and plows it in.
He sows on one ton of good commercial fer
tiizer to the acre and thoroughly harrows it
in, being careful to get the soil thoroughly
pulverized. The seed is sowed in drills four
teen inches apart at the rate of five pounds to
the acre, somewhere from April 18th to April
22nd. The seeds are allowed to grow as they
are sown as he never makes the mistake of
thinning out the young plants too much, bu
lets them grow as the seed was sown, taking
good care to keep them free from weeds.-Bert
tina F. Hillman in the American Cultivator.

BEAUTIFYlNG HOME GROUNDS.
How to Select Shrubs and Arrange Them
Tastefui,v.

Beautiful home grounds, tastefully
laid out and planted with flowers and
shrubs, improve the appearance of towns
very much if care is taken in the selec-
ton and arranging of shrubs.
Shrubs, as rule, are intended as
frame for the yard Or garden. They are
planted around the borders of the lawn or
used to screen the foundation of the
house or to fill in corners.
The shrubbery frame for the yard or
garden should be formed on the same
principle as a picture frame, the border
of rug, etc 1t should harmonize with
the picture it mcloses, and each shrub in
the border should harmonic with its
companions. Too often no attention is
paid to this kind of harmony, and the
shrubbery border becomes a thing of
shreds and patches, made up of snowy
bushes, perhaps beautiful plants in them
selves, but arranged without regard to
the effect of the shape, color and general
appearance of one upon the whole
In choosing shrubs to grow side by
side consider the foliage and flowers as
carefully as you consider the size and
shape of the bush. Do not put large
masses of large masses Of light green
foliage next to masses of dark, or you
will have patchy effect. By care in Sc
lection as regards Towering season you
may be sure of having one or more plants
in the border in blossom at all times dur
the summer Two shrubs that blossom
at the same time should not be placed to-
gether if the colors clash. In the sum-
mer study your shrubbery border and
make notes as to new plants needed, their
their color, size and Towering, and also
what old plants may proftably be moved.
These notes will enable you to work ac-
curately in the fall after the blooming
season or in the spring. Care in select
ing and arranging the plants in your
home grounds will never be regretted.

The U. S. geological survey has just
issued book entitled ''The Underground
Waters of Southern Maine.' In the
book section deals with the system of
the Brunswick and Topsham water dis
trict, in which it states: "The facts that
the water surface in the wells is consid-
erably higher than the surface of the
Androscoggin river and that it's analysis
is different from that of the river water
show that the latter is not its source
The water supplied by the wells is as soft
and excellent in quantity as any other

life sentence. Had he been given the
life sentence first he might never have
been tried for the other killing.
This last conviction was in March.
1894. Altogether he has served, in
Jail and penitentiary, nearly twenty
years.
Not long ago, when fellow prisoner
tried to escape, he was shot by Will
liams in the arm, which stopped his
flight and this was made the basis Of
the recommendation to the governor
by the prison board, which, after be-
ing once declined by the governor, he

stated. however, that two men were
enough for Williams to kill, and that
he would never have ordered his dis

CAUSE OF Eczema
EXPLAINED
Germs Foster in the skin and Blood
Cures Are impossible.

After years of debate medical au'
thorities are now agreed that Eczema
and other skin diseases are not seated
in the blood, but are caused by germs
in the skin. Myriads of microscopic
animals gnaw the flesh just below the
epidermis. The patient is perfectly
healthy. it is only the skin that is dis.
eased. Hence, scientists are now
agreed that you must cure the skin
through the skin.
The medicine must be in liquid
form in order to penetrate properly.
And we can say with confidence that
we have the true remedy for Eczema
in our store. 1t is the mild Oil Of Win
tergreen wash known as d. d. ID. Pre-
scription, and on a special offer just
now we are able to give you bottle
in large trial size at only 25c
The instant you wash with this

relieved. We positively assure you of
this. VIII you try a bottle on our

session soon
Will Convene in This City on the First
Monday in December, and
the Docket Is Heavy.

Next Monday week, December 6, the
Forrest County Chancery court will
convene in Hattiesburg for a two
weeks session, and many important
cases are scheduled for hearing at
this term.
One case which will be tried at this
time, and which is of more than ordi-
nary interest local., is the injunction
case of the Mississippi Central rail-
road company against the city of Hat
tiesburg, wherein the city was tempo
rarily restrained from selling certain
lands of said company upon which, it
was claimed, sufficient amount OF
taxes had not been paid to the munic-
ipality.
These lands were assessed by the
city tax assessor and were advertised
for sale for non-payment of taxes, tie
railroad company asking for and OBJ
tanning a temporary Injunction on the
grounds that the taxes had been paid
according to the assessment of the
state railroad commission, and that it
is not within the province of the city
tax assessor to levy an additional and
separate assessment against the prop
erty.
The property involved embraces GER
tain lots belonging to the railroad
within which the shops, the gen.
eral offices and the terminals Of the
company are located, besides other
real estate, which the ely assessor con-
tends are liable for taxes in addition
to those assessed by the railroad COM
mission.
Whatever disposition may be made
of the case by the chancery court, 1t
is more than likely an appeal will be
taken to the supreme court, and thus
a very novel and interesting question
will be permanently settled.

THE CRUCIFIX
SAVED HIM
Incident in Evangelist Needham'S Life
Stranger Than Fiction.


- Richmond, va, January 22.-Follow-
ing sermon on "Deliverance, the
Rev. Thomas Needham, of the Fulton
Baptist church, last evening recited an
incident in his own life, which, for its
uniqueness and interest, is rarely equal
ed in fiction.
AS lad he was abducted, taken on
board ship, and carried to South
American port. The captain of the
boat was very. unmerciful man and
subjected him to all sorts of ctuelties.
Among others he had tattooed on his
arm the figure of the crucifx. 1t was
finally decided to put him ashore and
leave him to his fate, and captain re-
porting that he had been lost overheard.
Left on the shore of Patagonia, he soon
fell into the hands of one of the canni-
bal Indian tribes who inhabited that
part of the country.
On being stripped preparatory to be-
ing served at the feast as a choice NOR
sci, the attention of the Indians was
drawn to the figure of the crucifix on
his arm. He was carried before the
chief, who examined the marks closely,
and finally gave the order that he should
not be killed. After remaining with
the Indians for some time and learning
their language he found that for years
tradition had been handed down of a
strange cross that had evidently been
used by the Jesuits. The chief had
spared his life in hopes that ne might
explain the mystery connected with this
symbol. He told them the story of the
cross and led many to believe. Finally
he made his escape and returned to rela-
tives in Boston, who failed to recognize
in this rough, bronzed creature. the
young boy whom they had so long
thought dead.
Soon after his return he entered the
ministry, determined to devote his life
to the service of the cross which had so
miraculously saved his physical life.
Years afterwards, while preaching in a
town in one of the lower British pro-
vinces, DR.. Needham related the Incl
dent of his early manhood. After SER
vice a man requested to speak with him
privately. He carried him to his home,
where, on the wall, he was shown a
picture of the identical ship on which
his memorable voyage had been made.
The man with great feeling then ex-
planned that ne was the captain of the
ship and that that voyage had been his

ment of the abducted lad had been a
burden upon his soul
