AGE OF CALIFORNIA; BIG TREES.

Huge as the sequoias are, their size is
scarcely so wonderful as their age. A
tree that has lived five hundred years is
still IN its early youth; one that has
rounded out a thousand summers and
winters is only in full maturity; and old
age, the threescore years and ten Of the
sequoias. does not come for seventeen or
eighteen centuries. How old the oldest
trees may be is not yet certain, but
have counted the rings of forty that were
over two thousand years of age, of three
that were over three thousand, and of
one that was three thousand one hundred
and fifty. In the days of the Trojan
War and of the exodus of the Hebrews
from Egypt, this oldest tree was sturdy
sapling, with stiff, prickly foliage like
that of a cedar, but far more compress
ed. 1t was doubtless a graceful, sharp
ly conical tree, twenty or thirty feet
high, with dense, horizontal branches,
the lower ones of which swept the ground.
Like the young trees of today, the an
cient sequoia and the clump of trees of
similar age which grew close to it must
have been charming adornment of the
landscape. By the time of Marathon
the trees had lost the hard, sharp lines
of youth, and were thoroughly mature.
The lower branches had disappeared up
to height of hundred feet or more;
the giant trunks were disclosed as bare,
reddish columns covered with soft bark
six inches or foot in thickness; the up
per branches had acquired a slightly
dropping aspect; and the spiny foliage,
far removed from the ground, had as
sumed a graceful. rounded appearance.
Then for centuries, through the days of
Rome, the Dark Ages, and all the period
of the growth of European civilization,
the ancient giants preserved the same
appearance, strong and solid, but with a
strangely attractive, approachable quail

thin BLOOD IS
EASILY REMED|ED
Every Dose of DR.. Williams Pink
Pills Makes New Blood and
Means Renewed Health
And Strength,

People who are pale, languid, with
slight palpitation OF the heart, some
difficulty in breathing and tendency
to fatigue are suffering from thin blood
They need only the resolution to take
the right treatment and stick to it until
cured. The remedy that can be relied
upon is DR.. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People With every dose they
make new blood and new blood means
health and strength. They stopfurther
progress of the disease and their sue
cess as a blood builder can be plainly
seen after shorttrla The red cheeks,
good appetite, increased weight and
strength, cheerful disposition and re-
lief from the symptoms, all declare the
general improvement in health. 1t is
pure blood now that is travelling every
where through the body and the bene-
fit goes on until health is restored.
Mrs. F. J. King, of No. l24 Poplar
street, Carrick, Pa, says:
"A few years ago | began to fail in
health because of the poor condition of
my blood. was weak and tired out
all of the time and sleepy. | had fire.
quent sick headaches and suffered ter
ribly with them. | lost in weight. |
was so blue and down-hearted that l
felt as though l was never going to be
well and strong again. Icouldn't sleep
well and had terrible dreams. [ was
nervous andirritable and couldn' t stand
still minute.
''My mother advised me to try DR..
Williams Pink Pills for Pale People.
After had used the first box, I began
to gain. 1 used them perhaps longer
than needed to, but continued taking
them until I was certain that l was
cured.'
DR.. Williams Pink Pills contain the
elements necessary to make new blood
and, as the nerves get their nourish-
ment from the blood, have been found
invaluable in wide range of diseases
of the blood and nerves, such as rheu-
matism, aiter-effects OF tn grip and
fevers, neuralgia, nervous debility, St.
Vitus' dance and oven partial paral ysis
and locomotor t:Nia.
The remedy which gave Mrs. King
complete health can be obtained at any
drug store or direct from the DR.. Will

FAT WIDOW ALEWIVES,

Concerning the fishing in weirs in the
lower reaches of Penobscot river, Mr..
Decatur Bridges, who has brought fresh
Penobscot river salmon from Bucksport
to Bangor every week day in salmon sea-
son for the past rs years, is probably the
best living authority upon earth. His
knowledge is entirely practical, while
the so-called 'learned'' authority is often
largely of a theoretical nature.
For many years Mr.. Bridges has claim
ed that the best, the biggest and the
latest alewives which enter Penobscot
river come in June, strike the east shore,
and then go on upriver to some-to him
unknown point of spawning, which is
probably within some three or four ponds
in the town of Bradley, which are still
open to the free access of alewives. These
fish, MIR. Bridges calls widow alewives, -
or the huge and spawn bearing females,
to distinguish them from the 'bachelor
aleWives' or the thin and spawnless
males, which arrive in May as rule and
are generally smoked and sold for the
local trade.
Experience has shown among Penob-
scot river fishermen that it is not profit
able to smoke alewiv which are cap
tured after June LIST. The smoking
| PAoNCoo CehSo ny nv HlClS lllle, anu
less the fish are sailed enough to become
almost inedible, the warm days of June
and July have tendency to make the
widow alewives" soft, to attract the
flesh flies, and to render the best fish
taken from the river unfit to eat. Hence,
the rule is to salt all aewives taken after
June LIST. 1t is safer to do so; it is far
better for the public health; it is cheaper
for the fishermen in the end
We who are residents of the bleak and
law-abiding coast of Maine, may still
eat smoked herring from St. John and
fresh salmon from the same fine city, or
we may legally consume iced salmon
from Puget Sound or canned salmon
from AL, ska; but the opinion of Mr..
Bridges remains that we get very few
smoked widow alewives" and receive
no more than sparingly of the genuine
Penobscot river salmon after June LIST of
any year.
The run" of fishes has ceased for
the year. AS to Penobscot river shad-
most delightsome and toothsome of fish
Mr.. Bridges states he has personally
known to the capture of some five or six
specimens in Penobscot river weirs for
all the open season of this year.
Which is truly a crying shame for
Names boosted enterprise. - Bangor

ENDS HUNT For RICH GIRL.

Often the hunt for rich wife ends when the
man meets woman that uses Electric Bitters.
Her strong nerves tell in bright brain and
even temper. Her peach bloom complexion
and ruby lips result from her pure blood; her
bright eyes from restful sleep; her elastic step
from firm, free muscles, all telling of the
health and strength Electric Bitters give a
woman, and the freedom from indigestion,
backache, headache. fainting and dizzy spells
they promote. Everywhere they are woman e
