s1.0O, Canton sl.10. From Lewiston a
special trolley car (open) can be hired
for about $50 for the trip, that will we'll

heavy. All old soldiers, their wives,
sons or daughters, joined by their
friends as far as practicable to fiji car,

the manner in which our government
provides for its old disabled soldiers.
1t is rare and impressive scene. About
one hour can be spent at the state house,
where all the old battle flags are seen,
and about two hours at Togus. Parties

secured If desired. A delightful one.
day trip, the memory of which will be
pleasant and enduring.
ANY party not on the line that would
like to join this excursion can signify
their wish by a postal directed to S.

A days outing on "Old Streaked" i.
not to be despised nor ignored by those
who enjoy the grand and the pic ur.
esque. All things appear as they were
full sixty years ago before We had chang
ed from youth to age. And yet there
has been change, marked and seri.
Gus change, in the fruit and forest trees
all along the way up the heights of land
from the Del Jordan place. The de-
strOyers have put in their work till II
looks as II the curse of God reefs upon
the erstwhile glories of the woods and
orchards. We still believe, whether 1,
be false or true, that, had the birds been
properly and wisely protected from the
foundation of the world we would to-day
have had "beauty for ashes" And the
slaughter OF the inuOcents still goes on,
and also the slaughter of the trees, and
the world ia still big-headed. 1t is easy
enough to make laws, but it doesn',
amount tn halo in Halifax We are a
nation of law. breakers. The swiftest
and the surest penalty for broken law
is to catch sucker from your own
brook in close time. "Great is Diana oil
the Ephesians." And great is he who
sits In the high places of the earth and
owns It.
We looked from the heights out over
the twin hamlets of South Paris and
Norway, aud from that distance they ap.
peared peaceful and our eyes were not
taxed. o, there are some things that
are not taxed, IL you will believe me.

Portland Express:-Reports from the
apple growers throughout the state are
not at all encouraging. Present condi-
tious would indicate that there will be
an exceptionally small crop In all sec.
lions. In many places there will be no
crop where last year the crop was fair.
A strange condition has presented itself
this year and thus far the cause for It
has not been determined. The apples
grow to about half size and without any
apparent reason so far as has been deter.
mined the apples drop to the ground and
are lost. Already the attention of po-
mologists has been called to the matter
and they are making an effort to learn
the cause for the unusual condition. No
apples raised In the state have so far
been offered for sale at the Wholesale
markets. All Of those being sold at the
present time are apples from other states
and are of fair quality, but there Is no
abundance OF them.

The Legions of the Leaf-Eaters.

With the brown-tail moth an imminent
menace TO all our fruit trees as well as
other varieties, and the gypsy horrible
and march upon us destroying every
green thing, We have an actual and
present enemy which is doing its best
or its wors.-to make the garden of
western Maine barren wilderness. This
is that fat, repulsive, incredibly voracious
green worm which the Democrat will
not attempt to classify scientifically, for
fear of misspelling the name, but which
eats the leaves of any kind of hard wood
tree, without any apparent fussiness as
to vari ETY., but apparently with special
fondness for the apple, the beech, the
birch and the maple.
This insect did more or less work OF de-
struction in this section last year, and
caused considerable apprehension.
When inquired of about it ut an al
dress given by him at Paris Grange Han
last winter, Professor Hitchings, the
state entomologist, said that il was a
pest which was generally kept well sub
pated that this would be the outcome OF
the present outbreak, and thought we
should hear little of il another year.
Nevertheless it is with us in seemingly
multiplied numbers, spreading over an
enlarged territory, and doing its work
with fearful rapidity. In three weeks it
has in many places utterly changed the
appearance of the face OF the earth.
Driving along the highways, one
comes upon patches OF woods through
which he can look as in November, for
the leaves have all been eaten of, and
the trees are bare. Great patches OF
forest on Singepole, on Stearns Hill in
Paris, on Molly Ockett in Woodstock,
and in scores of other places, look from
q distance as If the fire had spread over
them. An apple tree beside the road
may have upon it three or four barrels
of half.grown fruit, and not a leaf, every
one being eaten clean TO the stem. The
advance guard has reached the valley of
Shagg Pond, and while the damage there
has not been serious this year, the own
ers of camps in that green basin shiver
at the possibility Of losing one OF the
chief attractions of the place.
One orchard in Hebron, which was
getting past its prime, has been abandon
cd and no attempt made to stop the
depredations of the insect, because it
was deemed that the trees had already
succumbed, and would not again put out
leaves. Ii is a question how long even
the thrifty hard wood trees of the forest
will stand il il the slaughter continues
in other years.
Nor is the green enemy the only one
which 10 making notable increase this
year. The little fuzzs caterpillar which
leaves the frame Of the leaf, but eats out
the pulp and spins a web over the
branch, has attacked almost every apple
tree over a wide extent Of territory, and
has made a beginning on other kinds OF
trees, and q large, dark-colored, naked
caterpillar with two horns is doing its
best to rival its green cousin on the bard
wood trees. Verify II seems as If We
were "up against" all the insect plaques
Of Egypt at one time.
