Cloves.


If you will look on your map of Gee
anica, in the division of Malaysia, Won
will find group of tiny islands nestled
in between Celebes and Papua, known
as the Molucca or Spice Islands, from
the great quantity of cloves, nutmegs,
and mace obtained from them. Al
though they look so small to you, they
are of great value on account of the
spice trees.
The Portuguese and Spaniards both
found them about the year 1921; but
Antonio de Brito, Portuguese navica-
tor, took possession OF them in the
name OF his king, and that nation held
them until the Dutch (assisted by the
natives) drove them out in the first part
OF the seventeenth century, and took
possession of them themselves. This
they have held until the present time,
with the exception of brief preiod in
1876, when the English conquered them
from the Dutch, but soon restored them.
The ciove-tree was found on only five
Islands in its native state. and on the
Island OF Amboyna, where the natives
had begun to cultivate it. As soon as
the Dutch obtained possession they be-
gan to destroy all the clove-trees ex-
cept on the Island of Amboyna, in or
der to make the spice scarce, and so
increase the price. Every year, until
1924, an expedition OF soluicrs and la
borers were sent from Ii ,land to the
Moluccas with orders to destroy every
clove-tree there except those on Am
boyna.
During the short time the English
held possession of the islands, they
carried clove-trees to Bourbon and
Mauritius. In 1880 they were planted
on the islands of Pemba and Zanzibar,
and from the latter island about 7,OOO,-
600 pounds are exported every year;
these are worth over $500, 900. They
are also raised in Sumatra, Malacca,
Cayenne, and Brazil; but tie best still
come from Am Doyua.
The ciove-tree is from fifteen to forty
feet high. 1t has perfectly straight
trunk, covered with smooth, olive
colorcd bark. From where the
branches begin, it has the form of a
Pyramid; the leaves are dark green,
and very glossy; the flowers grow in
clusters, and are of a reddish hue; the
fruit is about the size and shape of an
olive, perhaps not quite as large, and
when ripe is dark red. The part that
we use rs spice is the fower-buds,
which are gathered just before they
open. They are dried by the smoke of
wood fires. or by being exposed to the
rays OF the sun. BY drying they are
changed from red to a deep brown.
They look so much like a nail with a
round head that both the Portuguese
and Spaniards gave them name which
meant nail in their language, and which
has since become our English word,
Glove. The French called them fra
grant-nail, on account of their delicious
odor. All parts of the tree arc fra
grant, bark. leaves, flowers and fruit.
Cloves are used in cooking. in medi-
cine, or for embalming or preserving
bodies from decay. An oil is also OBJ
tanned from them, which is much used
in perfumery.

The Supreme Court of Massachu.
setts has decided that telegraph COM
panies have right to erect lines upon
public highways without making COM
ponsa,ion for the privilege, on the
ground that such use is OF a public
character. similar to that for which the
highway was originally taken. This
does not agree with the decisions of the
Supreme Court of Illinois and the
Court of Appeals in New York, both of
which have held that the owners in fee
are entitled to compensation in such
cases.

Ayers Hair Vigor keeps the hair soft
and plant, imparts TO it the iustre and
freshness of youth, causes it to grow
luxuriantiy, eradicates Dandruff, cures
all scalp diseases, and is the most clean
ly Of all hair preparations.
AvER'C Hair visor has given me
nearly bald for six years s during which
time / used many hair preparations, but
without success. Indeed, what little
hair I had was growing thinner, until
1 tried Ayers Hair VigOr. I used two
bottles of the Vigor, and my head is now
well covered with a new growth of hair.

HAIR that has become weak, gray.

and color restored to It by the use of
Ayers Hair Vigor. s.My hair was thin,
faded, and dry, and fell out in large
quantities. Ayers Hair Vjgor stopped
the falling, and restored my hair to its
original color. AS dressing for the
hair, this preparation has no equal
vE1R youth, and beauty, in the
v1OOss, appearance OF the hair, may
be preserved for an indefinite period by
the use of Ayers Hair ViSor. w A dis
ease of the scalp caused my hair to be-
come harsh and dry, and to fall out
freely. Nothing tried seemed to do
me any good until commenced using
Ayers Hair Vigor. Three bottles OF
this preparation restored my hair to q
healthy condition, and it is now soft
and plant. My scalp is cured, and it
is also free from dandruff. - Mrs. Il. r.

COMMIrTEE CALLED.

mittee has been callsd to meet in Port
land on the 3rd Of March for the pur-
poso of fixing time and place for bold
ing the Republican State Convention
The putting off the meeting Of tn.
committee to so late data is strategic
move on the part of the Republican
leaders, the object being to compel the
Democrats to select an earlier date for
the meeting Of their committee, thus
giving the Republicans an opportunity
to call their convention to meet aftel
the Democrats shall have made theil
nominations. We hope the Democratic
committee I'll Lot be in a hurry to cal

REvoLuTl0NART.

A bitter wrangle is going ON Ia the
Ohio State Senate oYer an attompG by
the Republicans TO get a majority OF
three, where they are ia Al actual mi.
nority Of three. The Democrats have
90 members and the Republicans have
IN. The seats Of four Democrats are
contested by four Republicans. The
presiding officer, tho Lieutenant Gov
ernor, is . Republican. He has rem
dered some OF the most outrageous de-
cisions that any parliamentary body has
ever been subjected too, and all for the
purpose Of carrying out one of the most
nefarious and damnable partisan pur'
posos, With q high hand and an utter
disregard OF oil parliamentary law, he
rules thai no one of the four Democrats
whose seats are contested shall be allow
cd TO vote on any question pertaining
to the contest Of either of the others
and, in fact, hel that they we're moi
allowed to vote at all. This high hand
ed proceeding is planned and directed
by one "Index" Noyss, ,whe went down
to Florida in 1876 and helped steal thu
electoral vote Of that State from Tilden
The object of this outrageous proceeding
is more far-reaching than one could Al
first imagine. The real purpose is tC
make the legislature strong enough Re
, publican so that 1t will by vote dsterm
inc that fraud was resorted to ia th'
election Of Senator Payne to the U. )
Senate two years ago, and thus induc'
. the Senate to sxpel him, and then The
legislature can elect another Republican
Senator. Il is to be hoped that thi
conspiracy will fail.

If partisan feeling is not appealed to he
