Winter,

In winter nature ceases from her Ia

The wind sweeps through the great
forest with a sound like the blast of a
trumpet. The dry leaves whirl in
eddies through the air. A fretwort
Of hoary frost covers the plain. TIE
stagnant water in the pools and bitches
Is frozen into fantastic figures. In the
low hanging clouds the sharp air. like
a busy shuttle, weaves her ;shroud Of

that there was no public emergency

A BUckspoRT STE EEIE.JAcK.


Hal!et c. Parker Of Bucksport is attracting
attention in Boston q q steeplejack. A recent
exploit was spending part Of q morning ON the
top OF the Weather Bureau fagpole, ESQ feet
from the ground. In recent gale, the PEN
nsnt attached to the top Of the aagpole from
which is flown the storm signals Of the Wealth
er bureau service became wedged in the block
TO which the halyards are attached. The con-
sequence was that the service for storm sig
mails was crippled, and it was necessary to
stralghten out the tangle before another storm.
10 reach the clogged block Parker had to at
tam an elevation Of $50 feet, with the wind
blowing about Is miles an hour and cold enough
to make the top of the Post Office Building feel
like refrigerator on hot summers day. 1t
was an awkward fiagpole to climb, too, for six
iron supporting bands had to be crossed by the
climber, and to get the moose of the supporting
rope around these interfering bands was task
hardly to be relished at such height Never
theless, Hallet surmounted the difficulties,
mounted the pole, freed the block and returned
to the roof of the building all within half an
hour. Parker once went to the top of the 95-
foot f1agpole on the Metropolitan Life Insur-
ance Building in New York, reaching an ele-
vatlon OF 585 feet. His hardest task was to
cut down 95-foot stack in Woburn. It was
lOs feet in circumference, and he did the job
by beginning at the top and saving the stack
on IN 10-foot sections, then having the sections
lowered to the ground

THE VETERANS.

Every year they're marching slower:
Every year they're STOPPING lower;
Every year the lifting music stirs the hearts of
older men;
Every year the flags above them
Seem to bend and bless and love them,
AS if grieving for the future when they'll
never march again.
Every year that day draws nearer;
Every year the truth is clearer
That the men who saved the nation from the
severing fatal sword.
Soon must pass away forever
From the scene of their endeavor,
Soon must answer to the roll call of the angel
of the Lord.
Every year with dwindling number,
Loyal still to those that slumber,
Forth they march to where already many have
found peace at last,
And they place the farest blossoms
Ger the silent, mold FIRING bosoms
Of the valiant friends and comrades of the bat
ties of the past
Every year grow DINNER, duller,
Tattered flag and faded color;
Every year the hands that bear them find
harder task to do,
And the eyes that only frightened
When the blaze of battle lightened,
Like the tattered flags they follow are grown
dim and faded, too.
Every year we see them massing,
Every year we watch them passing,
Scarcely pausng in our hurry after pleasure
after gain
But the battle flags above them
Seem to bend and bless and love them,
And through all the lifting music sounds an I'M
dertone of pain.

point, giving illustrations of European in
contrast with American waterways, and
this year an American commission is to
visit Europe to look into the matter and
report to Congress.
So far as Belfast is concerned there is
no need for wholesale cleaning-up. For
many years our people have taken pride
in the appearance of their homes and
much has been accomplished by individ-
ual effort and example. Then, few
years ago, some of our public-spirited
women organized an improvement society,
which has much good work to its credit.
This society has been comparatively in
active for the past two years, but its ex-
ample and teachings continue to bear
fruit. While the city generally has
well-kept appearance, with buildings in
good repair, grounds nicely kept and an
absence of unsigntly rubbish, there are
some minor matters which need atten-
ton. In places on lower Main street
burdocks are allowed to grow all summer
and these and other weeds flourish on
many Of the side streets, encroaching upon
the walks and clogging the cutters. 1t
would cost but little to get rid of these
weeds and the money would be we'll ex-

been decided improvement within the
past year or So The buildings on Lewis
wharf, and on the Marshall wharf adj
joining, have been repaired and painted

Good Luck With Beets.

My grandfather has excellent success in rails
ing table beets of the Early Blood Turnip and
Detroit Dark Red varieties. He usually sows
patch of about ten square rods, which gives
him yield of seventy-tive bushels, or at the
rate of 1900 bushels to the acre. This is his
method: The land is plowed in the fall. and in
the spring stable dressing at the rate Of thirty
double horse loads to the acre is well narrowed
in. Commercial fertilizer at the rate of one
thousand pounds to the acre is sowed in the
rows, which are three feet apart. The seed, of
which he uses about one fourth of pound of
each kind. is sowed early in June. AS soon as
the plants are two or three inches tall he Trims
them out some. He keeps the soil loose around
them and keeps them free from weeds by the
use of hand hoe. The crop is usually har-
vested about the middle of October and dis
posed of in local markets at about sixty
cents per bushel during the fall and winter

The Transportation of Ice.

The shipping of ice in schooners from the
Penobscot and Kennebec rivers, Maine, is rap
IDLY being superseded by barges. which get 40
Baltimore instead of 60 cents paid the schoon-
ers, and which carry return cargoes of coal.
This is largely due to the fact that so much
ice has been harvested during the past few
years on the Hudson and other rivers to the
southwark, that very little ice in comparison
has been shipped from Maine. Last winter,
however, was so mild that the Hudson ice crop
was practically failure, consequently about
100000 tons were harvested on the Maine
rivers to make up the deficiency, and this ice is
largely being shipped in barges.-The Marine

Uniformity Secured.

This act aims to secure a uniform
system of management and classified
ton according to the traffic on the
roads. 1t does not necessarily mean
an increased expenditure on the part
of the municipalities. 1t seeks to
combine the more important roads In
one class and under one management
with proper methods and machinery
for dealing with this class of work.
This really means reduction in cost
and the production OF better class
of roads.
The enforcement of this act doubt
less in many cases means an increas-
ed expenditure on roads, but this
increase is covered by a, government
grant. With the main county roads
disposed of, the townships ore pre-
|cincts are left to do the work on
the less important ones. A general
understanding is had by the constit-
uent parts Of the county as to how
