WINDJAMMERS.

The days when sailing ships were pre-
eminent upon the seas will always be re-
ferred to in glowing terms because of
the wonderful feats performed by the
navigators tn 1t commanded them, the
fast-sailing qualities that those vessels
possessed and which We're impaired to
them by the stlpbuiders and designers
of those days. The most glorious period
of the sailing ship era began about lS45
and in the vanguard of the fastest sailers
were the American clippers with their
wonderfully fine lines, yards so square,
spars so lofty and sails so voluminous
that each vessel was practical winged
messenger of commerce. What the Ma
uretania and Lustania are to-day, the
feetest steamships upon the seas, the
American clippers were in the fifties
and early sixties, the greyhounds Of the
ocean, while such vessels as the Sover-
eign of the Seas and the Flying Cloud
had to their credit runs of between three
and four hundred miles in twenty-four
hours, or at the rate of is knots al hour
and over.
Since the advent of steam it has repeat
eddy been predicted that sailing vessels
would soon disappear from the seas, yet
few hold on, and IN some trades there
is still profit to be made in OPP erating
them. Three of these We're recently
chartered in the Pacific trade; one, the
Drumeltan, to load at Tsingtao for Bal
timore, and the Daylight and Brilliant to
load at Kobe Hioga, Japan, for Balti-
more and New York. The latter two are
with one exception the largest sailing
vessels af1oat, having carving capaci-
ty of about 5000 tons. The Marine

Pinklet:, the New Laxative,
Gently Assist Nature

The first step in correcting constipation
is to stop the use of strong Purgatiyes.
Substitute for them the mild, non gripping
but effective laxative pills, Pinklets.
Strong, harsh purgatives are OF little value
in the treatment of constipation because
they wear out the muscular activity OF
the bowels and finally lessen their sensi-
bility to even the strongest stimulation.
The continued Use OF purgatires always
brings on chronic constipation instead of
correcting it. N.,h IinElets you need

THE WHARVES OF EASTERN MAINE.

Army engineers in their report to Con-
gress about the condition of terminals
on navigable waterways of the United
States do not speak very favorably of
the conditions in eastern Maine. After
mentioning that Bangor has 81 Wharves,
% of which are on the west side and de-
scribing some of these structures, the
report says that excepting the termi-
mails for handling coal, lumber, ice, oil
and fertilizer, the general efficiency of
the wharves in Bangor harbor is low.
Other freight is handled chiefly by man
labor" The Eastern Steamship wharf
is mentioned as efficient for it's purpose, !"
and other wharves are spoken of as Sin
efficient on account of lack Of depth in
the berth"
The wharves on the St. Croix are
spoken of as mot suited to the vessels
of modern water transportation. Con-
sidering the amount of traffic over them
"the wharves of Belfast may be consid-
cred in fair state of efficiency" with
the exception of three, two of which it
is planned to improve. Rockport harbor
is mentioned as in good condition and
Rockland wharves are built in sub
stantial manner" but Camden water
terminals are not good Wharves at
Boothbay are described as fairly efficient,
except two that are in poor condition.

Two million trees will be planted on
