Then the party proceeded over the Roches-
ter extension, to the new Preble street

The Portland Bridge Draw.

There was loud complaint on the part of a
large number of persons travelling to and
from Cape Elizabeth yesterday morning on
account of the long time during which the
draw was left open to allow the passage of a
schooner In tow of tug. and 1t was COM
plant too that was well founded. The
draw was opened fully 10 minutes before 1t
needed to have been, and the movements of
the vessels seemed unnecessarily slow. The
draw Of course is necessary and unavoidable
delays the public must put up with. But
they have good reason to protest against
such delays as that of esterday morning.
The convenience of the people who cross
this bridge is of quite as much consequence
as the convenience of the drawtender or of
captains of schooners and tug boats.

Eneland's Fruits in the Middle Ages


It is a curious fact that in the Middle
Ages England was horticulturally much
behind the continent of Europe In
Chaucer's time the English larder was
very meagerly supplied with vegetables,
and but indifferently with fruits. Onions,
leeks, nettles, peas and mustard were the
only articles that then figured in the
short catalogue of English vegetable
supplies. There is no trace of the exist
ence of cabbage in England at this
period. In the contemporary accounts
of orchards there is no allusion to plums,
only once to damsons. The pears were
poor, but the apples were good. 1t is ques-
tionable whether cherries, raspberries
and Strawberries bad crossed the Chan
mel.
The cherry gardens of Kent were first
planted by a servant of Henry VIII. Be
fore the close of the Sixteenth century,
the turnip had reached England; so had
the caulihower and the ounce, for both
are mentioned by Gerarde in his 'sHer-
bal" Carrots, when Gerarde wrote,
were still a foreign vegetable, though
their naturalization in England was not
far off. In 1912 we hear of the peach,
the almond and the fi1bert among the
products of an English orchard, and in
1920 the apricot was transplanted from
Morocco.-New York Ledger.
