THE FOURTH IN CASTINE.

The usual quartet went to Castine to spend
the 4th to enjoy once more the scenery of this
historic town and to partake of one of Land
lord Vogelps excellent dinners at the Castine
House. The sail over and back on the steamer
Golden Rod, under favorable conditions, is an
added attraction and Tuesday morning the
conditions were ideal. The bay was calm, but
the motion of the boat made breeze that was
most refreshing; the sky was overcast and a
light mist veled the distant shores. The return
trip was equally pleasant until the steamer
was passing Turtle Head, when the sur
charged clouds which the weatherwise
had been watching all the afternoon gave
preliminary growl, sent down few warning
drops, and then turned loose heavens artillery
and lifted the flood gates. How it did rain!
Outside of the tropics the writer has seen
nothing to compare with that downpour, and
it was accompanied by fierce gusts of wind
that sent the water in sheets across the deck,
while miniature Niagaras poured down from
the hurricane deck. The rain, however, did
not dampen the enthusiasm of the excursion
lists, and one of the party congratulated him
self that he would not have to water the gar
den that evening. 1t should, perhaps, have
been mentioned before that the original
quartet augmented this year by trio
of visitors from Nova Scotia - as fair
country as the sun shines on who were
taken into full membership and who shared
the enthusiasm of the charter members over
the drive about Castine, through the Witherle
woods and around Dices Head. Castine cele-
brated, of course. 1t always does; and this
year had the aid of three of Uncle Sans ships
the Reid, Pusser and Smith--al moored
abreast alongside wharf SO that visitors had
only to walk on board These modern engines
of naval warfare may be effective, but they
are not pretty, and when they let off their
steam whistles all together, but not in unison.
the effect is worse than that produced by an
orchestra of cannon crackers, tin horns and
church bells ''the night before" Castnes
celebration began the Sd with reception and
dance to the officers of the ships. In the
morning of the 4th there was parade of hor-
ribles, water sports and land sports; in the af-
ternoon ball game at Fort George, and in the
evening reception to Uncle Sans Jack-tars.

B elfast's' Greatest Need.

Friends, m onied citizens, lend me your ears
And will tell you Belfasts greatest need,
You talk of industries, factories and plants
Increasing our populace, where will it lead?
Warm weather's coming, we admit that is true,
Camps they can live in, also in tents,
But for next winter, what will they do?
Where are the houses, where are the rents?
Take my advice then, you men of much cash,
Build few houses ere Belfast you smash,
Laborers will come here, willing to work
While they do their part, why should you
shirk?
Go build some houses, provide decent rents,
Honest Americans won't live in tents.
