UNDERGOING A REVOLUTION.
Changes in the Process Of Burning
Lime.

RocKLAND, May 29-Processes OF lime
burning in this vicinity are undergoing revo-
luton. For the past few years the greater
portion of the fuel used has been wood from
the Provinces. necessitating great expense
and labor, Substitutes for wood have been
tried, but until recently, with little success.
Granville K. Carleton, of Rockport, has per-
fected plan whereby soft coal is success
fully used in lime manufacture, giving more
lime in the same time and at less expense.
In this city, system designed by Druecker
Brothers, of Drueckey, Ohio, of burning OF
lime by the use of crude oil. has been sue
eessfully tried, and many Rockland manu-
| faetqrers have ordered Druecker burners,
| which will be operated at once The
Druecker system consists of two sets of
pipes, one conducting oil, the other steam,
| which meet in the burner and generate gas'
| and an intense flame is thrown upon any de-
| sired portion of the rock to be burned. The
| experiment hera was tried under most up-
| favorable circumstances. yet more and better
| lime was turned out in the same time than
when using wood, Mr.. Carleton, of Rock
port. claims that 20 per cent. more lime can
| be manufactured by his process, and at one
| half the expense, while 1t is thought the
| Druecker system will give equally favorable
| results.

her man all picked out That man was Le-
mont A. Stevens of Wells. Mr.. Moody Of
York endorsed all that was said about Ste
vens, and also urged that he be chosen by ac-
clamatiOn.
But some of the Cumberland friends OF
DIR. Seth G. Gordon wanted both delegates
elected at one time by ballot The leader OF
DIR. Gordon's friends was Virgil O. Wilson,
Esq, of Portland, and he seized the opp0rtu-
nifty to carry his point with suddenness
that seemed to paralyze the York ana Cum
berland men who opposed him. Before they
recovered themselves he was nearly through
the most eloquent speech Of the day, and
had paid glowing tribute to DR.. Gordon'S
qualities as soldier and gentleman.
A little before the last sentences Qt the
speech were pronounced Mr.. Moody OF YORK
got onto his feet and began to raise point
of order. Then there was an uproar. Inc
York men wanted to get their man elected
by acclamation and leave Cumberland free
field This was what Wilson and Mccarthy
and others Of Portland did not want, and
when the chairman was nevertheless about
to give the York men their way. ex-Alder-
men Thomas Hassett, of Portland, blushlng
like rose, came to the rescue. and demand
ed IAN honest ballot and an honest count"
This settled 1t, and they prepared for a
ballot. Then Mr., Tilton, Of Cape Elizabeth,
nominted Daniel w. True of Portland with
a few words of eulogy that we're heartily APP
piauded. Kimball Eastman of WestDr0ok
seconded the nomination, saying that True
was a man with a pocket book always
open" V. @. Wilson, Esq, had forgotten to
promise this for Dr. Gordon. with results ap-
pareDtly fatal as the ballot shows:

NAPOLEON B0RAPARTE's AUSTRIAN
WIFE


On the morning following Napo-
Icons arrival from Elba at the Tul-
leries the sweet-scented violets, the
first flowers of the spring, were
brought in by the people in such
quantities, as symbol of their
fidelity to him, that the gardens
were covered with them, and the
Palace itself filled with their fra
grant perfume. Confidently expect
ing Maria Louisa would rejoin him,
every lady and elegante of the en-
pire wore on her dress or carried in
her hand, as token of welcome,
bouquet of the large Parma violets.
But if her actions were ever given
to Napoleon, they were his no long
er. Count Neipperg had supplant-
him. His Countess had obligingly
died some few months before, after
only two days illness, leaving the
Count free to mingle gallantry with
his duties as counselor to the young
Duchess. But the spring and its
fragrant flowers passed away, and
when the summer sun shone on the
Tuileries gardens their parteres
were strewed with lilies, and the
ladies' faded violet bouquets had
given place to the flower that had
become the fashion of the day.
Waterloo decided the fate Of Maria
Louisa as well as that of Napoleon {;
and while he was on his way to
perish at st. Helena, she was put in
possession of her duchies, Count
Neipperg being named her first Min
lister, also Grand Master of her
household. OF the liaison that en-
sued children were born before the
death of Napoleon. When that
event occurred q moTganatic mar
riage gave tardy sanction to their
union. The Count was the absolute
ruler of the duchies; but his adj
ministration is said TO have been
marked by great ability, moderation
and tolerance. He died of q painful
disease in 1928, much regretted by
the people. He was an irreparable
loss to the Duchess, who, as testi.
mony of her grief and affection,
erected magnificent monument tc
his memory. But she was incapable
of taking up the reins of power after
him. The people revolted, and she
fed from Parma. Austrian troops
escorted her back; but she was ar
object of deep resentment to hel
subjects, who, as she could not gov
ern them, fell under the oppressive
yoke of Austria. In 1882 the death
of the melancholy young Duke Of
Reichstadt occurred at Sch9nbrunr
of consumption, in his twenty-first
year. Maria Louisa died in 1S47
aged Sc. AS Duchess of Parma sht
was merely an instrument of Aus
trian misrule in Italy. The yer.
slight interest the French at an,
time took in her ceased altogethe
when, renouncing all claims Oh

made an Austrian Prince. She i

A PAUPER'S DYING REQUEST.

An amusing and yet pathetic in
cident in what the poet Gray called
" the short and simple annals of
the poor" is told by Mr.. John j. r.
Micklejohn, one of the Inspectors
of the Poor, at Sherwick, Shetland
Islands. He says that some time
ago an old woman, named Barbara
Smith, came under the notice of the
Board. She was extremely ill, and
it did not look likely that she would
long need care of any kind. She
did not reside on the main land, but
on small island few miles distant
and there being no parochial institu-
tions in that place, Barbara neces-
sarily occupied the position of a
pauper living out. The trouble
from which she suffered dated back
many years. In better and more
prosperous days she had in some
way laid the foundation for Chronic
Indigestion and Dyspepsia, and out
of this had sprung other complaints
as age and bodily infirmities crept
apace upon her.
Barbara was not ignorant, albeit
she had fallen into poverty. In ear
lier life she somehow obtained the
advantage of fair education, and
this, added to native shrewdness,
enabled her to use good judgment in
respect to her own situation and
state of health. Although she had
long suffered from asthma and a
bronchial affection, Barbara was
wise enough to see that these all
ments arose from the disordered
stomach and digestion, and that if
the main trouble could be cured the
others would soon leave her. 1t is
probable that her disease began as
Others do, with the usual symptoms
headaches, bad breath, the rising OF
the sour fluids in throat, oppression
and falntness at the pit of the stom-
ach, loss of sleep, coated tongue,
dull eyes, bad taste in the mouth,
&c., and finally became chronic and
hopeless through her not being able
to find any remedy. The Inspector
states that she had been under med
ical treatment for years, but to nc
effect. In this strait she one day
made the following touching appea
to the Inspector: 81 have beer
swallowing medicines for months

is one last request l would make of
you: give me bottle Of Mother
SeigePs Curative Syrup; it is my
only hope. If it proves a failure
and does me no good will die in
peace, and make no more expense
to the parish"
II seems she had got hold of one
of Mother SeigePs Almanacks and
read of the great cures wrought by
the Syrup in cases like hers.
The Board pitied the poor lone
woman and granted her petition, be-
lieving, however, the syrup would
prove as useless as the other medi-
cines she had already taken. What
was their establishment to find, in the
course of few days, that she had
not only been able to get out of bed,
but to move about outside the house,
and had taken journeys to a consid-
cradle distance, and was actually en-
joying better health than since she
was first taken ill., The asthma and
bronchitis, which were no more than
symptoms of her true disease Gndi-
gestion and dyspepsia), rapidly
abated, and it now seems that Bar
bara will soon be as hale and hearty
as the Inspector himself, and be one
of the hosts of living witnesses to
the power of Mother Seigel's Syrup
to save the thousands who were just
ready to perish.
