"The good that men do lives after
them
Among the most interesting relics in
Portland is an old book nearly a century
old, the property of Nathan H. Cole of 81
Washburn avenue, Portland, in which are
bound in excellent preservation a series
of publications of 1885 entitled The Ju-
venie Reformer and Sabbath School Re-
former" a publication then edited by
the late Daniel C. Colesworthy to
fight against the evils of the world in
behalf of the youth of that day.
Flags of seven different nations are
have arrived in Portland harbor from for
eign ports during the past few days.
The National emblem of England is dis
played from eight ships, the flag of Bel
GUM from two, the flag of Norway from
two the flag of Holland from one the
flag of Denmark from one, the flag of
Italy from one and the American flag
from one. The only ship flying the
American flag in the big fleet now in port
is the steamship Herbert G. Wylie which
arrived Tuesday from Tampico, Mexico
and she is the only ship which will not
load cargo a that port. The other Is
ships will take out large general cargoes
or cargoes of grain to European ports.
Loren D. Merrill showed the Oxford
Democrat Saturday what is said to be
the finest crystal of apatite in the
world. 1t is terminal. about / 1-2
inches each way, with faces as highly
polished as if done by a lapidary, and
is of a beautiful purple color. Apatite
is too soft for gems. even if this were
sufficiently good which it is not ex-
cept small portions of it, but as a
specimen it is valued at a large price.
1t is owned by Pitt Pulsifer of Auburn,
and was found on his farm. at a place
which he is working for minerals,
about a mile from Mount Apatite.
w. S. Giles has an apple tree on
Union street at Camden that is quite
curiosity. Every alternate year just
one half Of the tree blossoms and
bears fruit and the next year the other
half takes its turn. The southern half
of the tree is now in full bloom and
not blossom is to be seen on the
northern half. AS both parts bear the
same variety Of apples it seems
strange that year after year the two
sides Of the tree should take turns in
this way.
Harold Dexter, a Woolwich boy has
two young eagles which he captured
a little over a month ago when they
were SO young they had not yet
featherod out. The birds are called
Abram and Huldah, which names seem
somehow singularly appropriate to
their appearance. They seem mild and
kind in disposition. Even now as
young as they are their beaks and tall
ons seem wonderfully large and
strong.
A young couple, said to be newly
weds, attracted no end of attention on
40;
by their unabashed demonstration of
affection. The bride, if such she wa.
would frequently burst into tears, and
this was the signal for much hugging
and kissing by her companion. This
process was repeated several times in
stores on the street, with apparent in
difference as to what the public
thought. But all the world loves

zette.
