Editors of the Kennebec Journal:
L notice in your paper this morning an

Point & 20 ham Beach r. r The main
reason Cor one Of the main reasons) you do
not catch on to, and tina! lie, that. at the
present time, it is the wildett building Il
castles in the sir On record. There is
nothing to build road there for. The
parties that ara pushing it do not propose
to put in any money themselves, but
it is the other fellows that they
expected to furnish the funds. In
short, it 10 the same class Of people that
were going to strike coal at Small Point in
about ffte en- minutes. and found plenty Of
people to invest, in small way, in it, and
were very indignant because would not
invest inItte scheme. They are, believe,
still boring 1T Small Point and as soon %
they 81 10 mining coal, there will be some.
thing 10 go there for, but at present
there 10 not enough freight to 60 there in q
year to pay coal bill for three days. All
the freight there is. is what the families
Consume in breadsluffs. and they don't fare
more sumptuously there than elsewhere.
Two m.nths in the year there could be
quite an amouat Of travel; the other ten
months it would amount to nothing at all.
Now comes another very obj sctionsble
fes;ure-during those two busy months, the
travel would be mainly made up Of excur-
sioDs to 5msll Point and Popham Beach
both week days and Sundays we
should have dumped on US heterogeneous
mass of e1cursionists. Would that be
pleasant for me or for the guests Of my
hotels? Could keep my hotels filed with
the very best class of people Is do now !?

places to engage in brawling and street
fights. ! can control immigration By

railroad comes in 1 lore control of it.
These, Mr.. Editor are some Of the reasons
why a railroad is not desirable a,

agrees with me, Is / see by

there is no prospect Of 9 railroad there till
they strike coal at Small Point, Twill not

The Bread Fruit Tree.

The bread fruit tree is a native of the
islands of the Pacific ocean and of the In.
dian archipelago, and grows to height Of
from forty to fifty feet. The fruit of the
bread tree. which in shape and size re-
sembles mnskmelon, supplies the prin-
cipai part of the food of the inhabitants Of
these islands. 1t is attached to the small
branches OF the tree by a small, thick
stalk, and hangs either singly or in cius-
tiers OF two or three together. 1t contains
somewhat fibrous pulp, which, when
ripe, becomes juicy and yellow, but has
then a rotten taste. At an earlier stage.
when it Is gathered for use, the pulp is
white and mealy, and of consistency re-
sembling new bread.

Curious Uses of Paper.

Paper is now made to serve for steel and
iron. When strong fiber is used it can be
made into il substance SO hard that it can
scarcely be scratched. Railroad car wheels
are made of it more durable than iron. A
building is said to have been made of it,
the rafters, weather boards, roof and floor
ing being all made Of paper boards, inn
pervious to water. The Breslau iireproot
chimney has demonstrated that cooking
and heating stoves. bathtubs and pots,
when anneaied by Il process that makes
them fireproof, becomes more lasting than
ironsand will not burn out Cracks in
floors around the skirting board or other
parts OF a room may be neatly filled by
thoroughly soaking newspapers into a
paste as thick as putty, and forced into the
cracks with paste knife. 1t will soon
harden and can be painted.

pluck affords an instance of the way in
which slang words in the course of time
become adopted into current English.
We now meet with pluck" and ''plucky"
as the recognized equivalents of courage"
and courageous" An entry in Sir
Walter SCOTS Journal shows that in ISL
the word had not yet lost its character
lie says want of that article blackguardiy
called pluck" Its origin is obvious.
From early times the heart had been pop
uiariy regarded as the seat of courage.
Now, when a butcher lays open carcass
he divides the great vessels of the heart,
cuts through the windpipe, and then
plucks out together the united heart and
lungs-lights he calls them-and he terms
the united mass "the pluck"
