BUILT SHIPS IN WOODS.

In Colonial days the shipping for our
home trade and for sale abroad was built
chiefly in the district of Maine and in
New Hampshire, says the Boston Globe.
These two colonies built rather more
than one-half the entire American ton
mage in the days Immediately preceding
the Revolution. The older ports could
not compete with the new settlements
amid the timber.
When the great trees had been ex-
hausted on the river banks, gangs of
shipwrights went mile or two into the
forests, and here, on the uplands, would
build vessel of 100 tons or more, mount
her on strong sledges of timber, hitch on
a team of two hundred oxen and drag it
in one steady pull over the snow to the
frozen surface of navigable stream.
Such a team of oxen would be quar-
ter of mile long, and it took the team
stership of a major general to start
them all at once. 1t was called raising
them," and this work once done nothing
must stop them till the ship rested on
the ice.
The writer recalls seeing when boy
somewhere on the stage road between
Machias and Ellsworth pinkey nearly
completed in mans dooryard, some
five or six miles from the water, and it
was said the craft was to be hauled to
the shore in the winter. This has been
mentioned before in The journal, as it
has been a common saying that no one
had ever seen pinkey building.

.cHRIsrMAs COVE"
Cen. CilIey Is Sure That Dickens Gave the
Name.

Hall Game says in written words: II
try in vain to think Of any possible add:-
tons to the sentiment of charity and
brotherhood which Dickens genius gath
cred around Christmas.
Christmas Cove was the spot where
the Maine Press Association gathered
this wear, and also where the New Holly
Inn sheltered our heads and warmed our
hearts. The Holly hangs from an eleva-
ton looking west over the land around
the Cove and east over the wide, wide
sea. and you are conscious that land and
sea have fallen IN love each with the
other l tried in vain to learn who
named the spot Christmas Cove. No
one knew, but all suggested that an I'M
known person on an unknown ship, in an
unknown manner caught Holsters there
on an uncertain 25th day of December,
sixteen hundred and froze- to- death. Had
they read Dickens Carol in their youth,
thew would have known that Dickens
himself named the Cove. Here is the
evidence. No other genius could or
would have named the partially shelter
ed lane of water between the little isles,
the wave-covered Lodges and the crag-
land so tall, which bends over the lane,
the Thread of Life 1t was not a
day which named the spot. Dickens's
archaic spirit named 1.-THE very spirit,
which sings soft and low, but deep in
sympathy and good will through all his
Christmas carols.
The lobster woman may have named
the little crescent isle which lies below
your eastern vision from Holly window,
Hay Island. but you pity the isle for it's
CRASHES condition, and it lies so cold
and uncovered that every motherly heart
heats to desire to spread a blanket over
it to keep it warm.
The lobster man may have named the
neiehboricg island, Birch Island, whose
beautiful wood may have furnished rods
which he spared not on his children; but
Dickens, when he saw the island at the
aforesaid date, saw over Hay Island the
crescent moon with it's two horns ex-
tended to catch the bright star Venus,
saw also the heavenly vision reflected in
the still waters of ''The Thread of Life"
and named the island the Crescent and
Star island; and who, when asked. "Why
annex the star which is only an excep-
tional view," and replied, eve must al
ways look heavenly with star-dust in our
eyes" ]. P. CILLEY.

SARDINE PRICES CUT.
Seacoast Packing Company Forces Outside
Parties to Meet Competition.

New YORK, Oct. 2.-Prices on new
pack domestic sardines are now the low
est in years. Definite announcement of
big cut was made in the New York
market yesterday by the principal selling
interests. The new low basis was
named by the Seacoast Cannery Com
pany, and all outside interests were
forced to meet the competition set up.
At the level to which the market settled
during the day prices were: Kentucky
Ia oils, $2.17 IL; keyless, Ia oils, 81;
key Id mustards, $2.17 IL at 2. 40; key
less, mustards, 2, and key ga mustards,
$3.50. So far no packer is offering ex-
cept subject to confiscation-
Behind the cut is story of competi-
ton and alleged unbusiness-like meth
DDS adopted by small packers to market
both old and new goods. The large inter-
ests are credited with having stood the
pace set by competitors as long as posi-
BILE, and then determined upon crusade
that promises to make Improbable all
selling operations for the balance of the
season. A large business has been done
in the last two days for the South and
Southwest.
