A SOLITARY WAY.

There y mystery in human hearts,
Ana though We be encircled by . host
VI those who love N WELL and are beloved.
10 every one OF u, from time to time,
There comes sense Of utter loneliness,
Our dearest friend is stranger to our joy,
And cannot realize our bitterness
There is not one who really understands.
Not one to enter into all we feel;
Such is the cry of each of US in turn.
We wander in q solitary way,
NO matter what or where our lot may be.
Each heart mysterious even to itself,
Must live its inner life in solitude.
And would you know the reason why this is?
It Is because the Lord desires our love.
In every heart He wishes to be first.
he therefore keeps the secret key Himself
TO open all its chambers and to bless
With perfect sympathy and holy peace
Each solitary soul which comes to Him.
so when we feel this loneliness, it is
Inc voice OF Jesus saying. Come to me.
And every time we are not understood
Il is call to US to come again,
For Christ alone can satisfy the soul,
And those who walk with Him from day to day
Can never have solitary way
And when beneath some heavy cross YOU faint
And say, cannot bear this load alone.
You say the truth. Christ made it purposely
So heavy that you must return to Him.
The bitter grief which no one understands
Conveys message from the King,
Entreating you to come to Him again.
The Man OF Sorrows understands it we'll
In all points tempted, He can feel with you.
You cannot come too often, or too near
The Son of God is infinite in grace.
His presence satisfies the longing soul,
And those who walk with Him from day to day
Can never have solitary way

FOR FlETCHER'S
CASTE RIA
MAKING MATCHES.
The Birthstone Kind. Three Million Made
Each Minute of the "a Hours.

The Birthstone Kind. Three Million Made
Each Minute of the "a Hours.
WASHINGTON, D. c., December 27,
1909. By the end of the brief minute
taken to read these paragraphs the ma
tons of the civilized world will have
struck three million matches. This is
the average for every minute of the
twenty-four hours Of the day. Fifteen
hundred billion Is the enormous number
for the entire year, and those living
under the American flag are said to be
responsible for the consumption of one
half of this amount.
The Importance of the industry which
turns out the little splinters of wood
tipped with sulphur or some other mate
rial ignited by friction is only recognized
when the average smoker tries to con-
template his predicament if he had to go
back to the time when he had to coax a
spark from a finder box. Of course, the
answer is, he would smoke great deal
less because of the difficulty in getting
light, or else, on the other hand, smoke
con tinuously in order to keep alive the
fire at the end of his stogie or Havana,
pipe or cigarette, as the case might be.
Small and insignificant as it is, the
match demands perhaps as much atten-
ton in the choice of the wood going into
its manufacture as any other forest
product. Only the choicest portions of
the best trees are suitable. Sapwood,
knotty or cross grained timber will not
do. Instead of being a by-product of
other articles of manufacture the little
match is turned out at hundreds Of mills
over the country where the by-products
are bulky objects like doors, sash, shin
giles, siding, posts, and cord-wood. The
pines, linden, aspen, white cedar, poplar,
birch and willow are the most suitable
match timbers.
The match makers-not the matrimon-
ial kind-are already finding that the
amount of choice timber available is
dwindling. Forest conservation, if APP
piled to the holdings of the match COM
panies, like it is on Uncle Sans National
Forests in the West, will do much to
make the supply sufficient for a longer
number of years than would be the case
if the old-time wasteful numbering meth
DDS of few years ago should continue
The rapid increase in stumpage prices is
one of the chief factors in encouraging
the wise use Of the forests where suita-
bic match timber is available.

LATE BLIGHT AND ROT.
Bulletin on Recent Potato Epidemic Sent
Out BY Experiment Station.

Bulletin on Recent Potato Epidemic Sent
Out by Experiment Station.
The Maine Experiment station is now
mailing bulletin 1863, entitled Two Re
cent Epidemics of Late Blight and Rot
of Potatoes in Aroostook County. This
bulletin contains the results of spray
ing experiments and Investigations con-
Quoted during the outbreaks of the dis
ease in question, which occurred in 1907
and 1909, giving particular attention to
the factors responsible for the large
amount of tuber decay experienced in
the latter season.
The nature of the fungus associated
with the disease is discussed, also how it
attacks the plants, the means by which
it is distributed, causing infection of
other leaves and of tubers, and the best
means of preventing infection.
From Is to 95 per cent. of the losses
from late blight and rot experienced in
the season just passed was unnecessary
and could have been avoided by proper
and sufficient spraying. This bulletin
takes up in some details the factors re-
sponsible for apparent failures to Sc
cure full protection from spraying, and
gives suggestions as to how sprays,
spraying machinery and spraying meth
DDS could be improved in order to meet
the very adverse conditions experienced
during the summer and fall of 1909.
This bulletin (No. 1867 will be sent te
any resident of Maine on request. Re
quests should be addressed to the Maine
Agricultural Experiment Station, Orono,

A six-story cement building in which limo
leum is to be manufactured. is to be built at
Morrill's Corner, near Portland, at cost of
$150000, including machinery. 1t will be the
only factory of the kind in New England and
will employ about 100 men.
1t is stated that early in the year 1910 the
New England Portland Cement Company will
begin the erection of a cement making plant
of million barrels capacity annually in Rock
land. The company, although organized under
the laws of Maine, is composed of outside
capital.
By opening the wooden mill at Madison, which
has been closed for several months, 200 hands
have been given employment. New stores are
being opened and the town has taken a boom in
general. A new pulp mill is being built there
and when completed it will be the greatest in

A Dainty Volume.

The Journal has received from Smith &
Sale, publishers, As Exchange street. Port
land, most attractively bound and printed
little book-"Bird Lyrics and Other Poems, -
by Charles E. jackson. The poems are as
dainty as the book, which is work of the
printers art. "Alpha and Omega" tells the
story in few lines of the beginning and end
ing of man:
God breathed; and from the Eternal presence
yelled,
Sprang man! all GROWING mystery.
God breathed; and from the Eternal presence
yelled,
sprang man! all GROWING mystery;-proud
one;
And then inhaled what He had once exhaled,
The soul returnsits bref, swift journey run"
The bird songs are melodious and could only
have been written by close student of nature,
and the other poems are marked by high
order of sentiment, by love of nature and of
his fellow men.

The White Mountain REGION.

WASHINGTON, D. c., December q,
1909. 1.-The White Mountain region ID
naturally forest country" says Philip
Nv. Ayres, in an article on the CONNER
cial Importance of the White Mountain
Forests, which the U. S. Forest Service
has just published in circular form.
1.-THE rocky soil, steep slopes and high
elevations prevent the use of the land for
agriculture, except in few favored
places. The forests that cover the
mountains are partly primeval, partly
culled, and in places cut clean by the ak.
In many places they have been injured
severely by fire. Their resources are of
great and far-reaching value, for their
use extends not only throughout New
England, but also in the form of news
paper manufactured from spruce and in
other manufactured products, through
out the entire country.
THE persistent widespread advance in
the price of timber products has been
felt throughout the land. 1t has already
affected directly all forms of business
that deal primarily with wood, such as
the building trades, the woodworking
factories, ties for railway construction
and repair, mine props and indirectly
other business. such as farming, in which
the cost of a barn or wagon is much
greater than heretofore. 1t is confident
ly asserted that the rise in the price of
lumber which marks the opening of the
present century is the beginning of a
greater and more rapid rise which is to
come, and the suffering which will result
from the progressive failure of our tim
Der was but family foreshadowed by the
recent temporary scarcity of coal.
There has been reckless waste of the
vast forest wealth of the nation, which
is still going on, but changes for the
better are being made in important di-
rections. The more thoughtful lumber
men see the issue clearly and have begun
to treat the forest more conservatively.
Some have bought up large tracts against
the coming scarcity. The Government
has established National Forests in the
West, which will in part meet the ever
growing demand for timber in that Sec
ton of the country.
THE even flow of water from noun
tain forests is of utmost Importance.
Commerce and manufacture depend up
on it. The White Mountains form the
great watershed of New England. Five
of the most important rivers of New
England, each having remarkable water
power, take their rise in the heights of
northern New Hampshire and in portions
of two adjoining counties in Maine.
These rivers are the Connecticut, the
Merrimac, the Saco, the Androscoggin,
and the Kennebec. The growth of many
of the most progressive and populous
cities in New England has depended up
on the development of water powers on
these rivers, so that it may be said that
the financial we'll being of New England
hinges upon them. Moreover, each sum-
mer the mountain forests afford rest and
recreation to many thousands of people
from all parts of the country"
