A BALLAD OF BUTTERMILk.

It's fashionable, now, to churn
And drink the foaming buttermilk--
A dainty little crank to turn
Mid wavelets delicate as silk;
The beverage of creamy snow,
'Tis said, will keep grim age at bay;
But where, I'd somehow like to know,
Where is the churn of grandma's day?
That churn was not of fancy art;
The dame of style would scorn it, now;
And working it would quickly start
A crystal beading to the brow;
But when, with golden specks replete,
Up-splashed the cool, delicious spray,
What modern drink could be as sweet
Where is the churn of grandma's day?
Within those frothing waves were blent
A thousand fiavors, fresh and fine
The elder flowers floating scent,
The clover-meadow airy wine,
The perfume of summer night,
The richness of a sunny May,
The tang of heritage, crisp and light
Where is the churn of grandma's day?
Madames, who think you've found at last
A fountain of undying youth,
Where is the vigor of the past
That kept the spirit young, in sooth-
The simple life and wholesome fare
That held the worry Lines at bay,
The exercise and pure, fresh air
Where is the churn of grandma's day?

Companion.

THE TEMPERANCE SHIP.

Tossed through the dark and stormy night,
When clouds eclipsed the moons soft light,
The shipwrecked passengers and crew
Chung to raft, when, 10! in view,
Revealed BY the red. rising sun,
Which lit the circling horizon,
"A ship appeared, dressed in full sail.
Founding before prosperous gale,
When from the planks of wretchedness
Waved the sad flag of sore distress.
The lifeboat, lowered into the waves,
Rescued the men from watery graves.
How many venture out upon
The sea of life who never won
The victory of self-control,
Risking the loss of life and soul!
Wrecked on the sea of drunkenness,
Their rags their banners of distress,
They must have sunk in shame and night
But Tor the Temperance Ship in sight,
And hfeboats dropped from fore and aft.
That picked them from their sinking raft.
Let praise ascend from heart and lin
IN honor OF the Temperance Ship.
Her snow-white canvas in the air
Is niied with the sweet breath of prayer;
Truth is the pilot at the wheel
That holds and swerves the hidden keel;
falth Is her bulwark, fixed and strong,
Though angry waves about her throng;
She sails in safety on the sea,
Bearing aloft her banner free.
Speed on, good ship. Though adverse tides
Deluge with spray thy storm-stained sides,
Thy streamers shall triumphant wave
Where'er thy mission is to save.
Sail on beneath the smiling skies;
The sun of hope begins to rise.
1t is the bright dawn of the day
When light shall drive the clouds away.
And Temperance and Truth shall be
Triumphant over land and sea.

NEW ENGLAND LEADS IN GRANITE.

The New England States continue to
produce more granite than any 9th ar
area of equal size in the country, al
though as individual States Wisconsin
and California are heavy producers. Ac-
cording to figures compiled by Ernest F.
Burchard, of the United States Geologi-
cal Survey, New England produced gran
lite in 1909 to the value of SO, 674, us, as
compared with $40, 581, 597 for the whole
United States. Of all the States Yer
mont led in 1909, with a production of
SSH, 744; Massachusetts was second,

PALE AS 4 GHOST.
This Young Woman I as thought
to Be Dying Of Anaalaia.
After Two Years in Bed She Was Cured
By DR.. Williams Pink Pills and
Has Since Been Well.

Anania is simply lack OF blood.
1t therefore follows that the correct
treatment for ansemia Is one that in
creases the blood supply. That sfealIy
the only treatment that can possibly he
successful. To restore the blood supply
to its normal quantity AMI quality,
DR.. Williams Pink Pills can be recon-
mended with confidence. First be-
cause they are known to have cured
thousands OF an@mic reople-the high,
estpossible recommendation. Secondly
they actually contain the ingredients
that combine with the food and oxygen
to make rich, red blood, without which
10 man, woman or growing boy or girl
can be healthy.
Miss Carrie f. Hathaway, of North
Houghton street, North Adams, Mass,
was cured of aner1ia by DR.. Williams
Pink Pills after recovery was pro-
nounced hopeless by her doctor. The
statement of her cure is told by her
mother, Mrs. A. A. Hathaway.
"My daughter, Carrie, was confined
to bed for two years suffering from
anamia. She seemed to have no blood
and was as pale as a ghost She was
thin and did not weigh more than 100
pounds, had no strength or ambition
and couldn't sit up. Her appetite was
poor and she had difficulty in breath
ing. No one expected her to get well
and our minister, before going ON his
vacation, came to bid her goodbye as
he did not think she would live until
his return.
"We spent hundreds OF dollars but
the doctor seemed to be puzzled and
could not help her. She had been sick
for over two years before l decided to
give DR.. Williams Pink Pills trial.
The pills gave her quick relief and
cured her after fair trial. She has
had no serious sickness since and weighs
ITO pounds. DR.. Williams Pink Pills
are wonderful remedy and l cannot
say enough in praise of them"
A new edition OF our booklet, "Dis-
eases of the Blood" will be sent free
on request to any one interested.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills are sold by
all druggists, or will be sent, postpaid,

GROWTH m LIME INDUSTRY.
Wide and Increasing Use Of the Product
Shown by United States Geological Sur
vev Renovf N.1,,o r. Agriculture

Wide and Increasing Use of the Product
Shown by United States Geological Sur
vey Report. Value to Agriculture.
The manufacture of lime in the United
States is large, important and rapidly
growing industry. Few mineral products
have so wide a variety of uses as lime.
A little more than half the lime manu-
| featured in the United States is used as
structural material, and the remainder,
amounting to more than 1880, 600 tons,
valued at about SIS, $50, 900, is used for
chemical purposes. The principal uses
which lime has in building operations are
in lime mortars and plasters, in gaging
Portland cement mortars, concrete, and
gypsum plasters, and as whitewash.
Both quick and hydrated lime are used in
building operations. 4.,
Lime is burned in nearly all the States
and Territories. Pennsylvania leading in
1909 with value of more than 81, $780,
900. The total production for 1909 was
3, 472, 952 short tons, valued at SIS, 8O5,-
4O5, the highest in the history of the in
dustry and an increase over the figures
for 1908 of nearly Is per cent. The
average price per ton IN 19O9 was
So. SO. In addition to these figures, lime
to the value of $7S, 4O5 was produced in
1909 from burning oyster shells. These
and other statistics OF lime production,
and notes on the manufacture of hydrated
lime, by Ernest F. Burchard, of the
United States Geological Survey, are
given in separate chapter OF Mineral
Resources for 1909, the compilation
being the result of cooperation between
the Geological Survey and the Bureau of
the Census.
MANY USES OF LIME.
According to Mr.. Burchard, recent
tests have indicated that magnetism
lines are generally best suited to struc-
tural work and high calcium lines to
chemical pur poses, but for certain uses
the reverse of this rule is true, and for
many applications in each branch of in
dustry either type Of lime is equally we'll
suited. The chemical uses of lime are
much more varied than the uses of lime
in building. Lime is used for soil reno
walton or sweetening, for insecticides
and fungicides. for egg preservation, for
water and sewer publication, as dis
infectant and deodorizer, for bleaching,
in the manufacturing of numerous chemi-
Gals, in gas manufacture, in the milling
industry, in paint and varnish manufac-
ture, and in the paper, smelling, beet
sugar, tanning, and many other indus
tries.
1t is not known what amount of lime
is used for agricultural purposes, but
Mr.. Burchard notes that many of the
producers reporting to the Survey are
farmers who do not operate on COM
mercial scale but merely burn kiln or
two of lime occasionally for their own
use. In some sections lime is known to
be very extensively used as soil sweet
ener, and most of the State agricultural
stations have published bulle-
tins discussing its effect on farm crops.

Life.

The poets exclamation: 40 Life! feel thee
bounding in my veins" is joyous one. Per-
sons that can rarely or never make it, in hon.
esty to themselves, are among the most unfor-
tunate. They do not live, but exist; for to live
implies more than to be. To live is to be well
and strong-to arise feeling equal to the ordi-
nary duties of the day, and to retire not over
come by them-to feel life bounding in the
veins. A medicine that has made thousands
of people, men and women, well and strong,
has accomplished great work, bestowing the
richest blessings, and that medicine is Hoods
Sarsaparilla. The weak, rundown. or debili-
tated. from any cause, should not fail to take
it. 1t builds up the whole system, changes ex-
istence into life, and makes life more abound
ing. We are glad to say these words in its
favor to the readers of our columns

A Living Portrait of Mark Twain.

A singular story comes from a small
town in Pennsylvania. On April 21,
1910, a COW was born on farm near AL
burtis at almost the identical moment
when Mark Twain died at his home in
Connecticut. On her right side, outlin-
ed in dark brown against a snow-white
background, is a profile bust of that
author. The likeness, which was plain
at the birth of the calf, has grown more
and more distinct, until it is now impos-
sible to fail 10 identify the well-known
features. Naturally, the cow was nam
ed Mark Twain. 1t is safe to say that
the great humorist would have appre-
ciated this joke of Nature at his expense.

The Coming Corn Show.

The farmers of Maine are taking much
interest in the corn show to be held in
Portland next November. While the
affair is being held under the dire ction
of the Portland board of trade, it is not
a Portland exposition, as is shown by
the fact that in addition to the Farmers
club they have associated with them
selves the State grange, the Maine seed
association and the State college of agri-
culture. An excellent list of prizes will
be offered.

Fishing iii Lake. Sebasticook.

In spite of repeated denials, the eport that
Lake Sebasticook is closed to all spring fishing
seems to be believed by many of our citizens.
This is an entirely erroneous idea. The new
law applies only to the several streams flowing
into the lake and small portion of the lake
proper, viz: The cove at Durham Bridge, So
called, and that part of the head of the lake
lying north and east of a line drawn from
Standpoint to the M. c. R. R. culvert to the
upper side of the west shore above Mills
Spring. This leaves the main body of the lake
open to all kinds of fishing, excepting white
perch, the open season on the latter being
July 1st, as usual-Pittsfeld Advertiser.

Preliminary to its plan to abolish all
save three navy yards on the Atlantic
Coast. the Navy Department has called
for detailed reports Of the work now

any yard now in existence
The Norfolk and Brooklyn yards are
regarded as having the better chances
for retention. There will be one other

way in maintaining but three yards on
either coast. Strenuous opposition In
Congressional circles is bound to meet q

yards and arsenals, but the Secretary has
told the House committee investigating
the Navy Department that only by q
concentration of naval equipment and
facilities can the best service be at
