BLAINE MEMORIAL STATUE.
An ADDRESS To THE PEOPLE or MAINE

The general subscription committee
chosen by the Blaine Memorial Associa-
ton at the meeting held In Augusta,
March 18th, ls93, to devise measures
through which q fund shall be raised, by
popular subscription, for the erection OF
a statue to the memory Of Malne's illus
trious citizen, have gladly accepted and
assumed the duty assigned them.
In entering upon their appointed
work, the committee are confidently as
sured Of the sympathy and cooperation
Of all people-those with whom our de-
parted statesman was politically allied,
aud also the large number who, though
always widely differing from him In par.
ty measures and policies, generously adj
mlred and honored the man while living
and mourn him, dead, whose great lnflu-
ence did so much to give and keep for
their beloved state the distinguished
rank Il holds In the national councils.
The purpose Of the committee, there
fore, IL, by thorough Organization and
canvass, to give every person In Maine,
and so far "a practicable To reach them,
all her sons living beyond Its borders,
the opportunity of contributing to this
work In such sums, small or large, as
may be within the means and incllna-
ton Of each individual donor. IL IL be-
lieved that the true Significance and
value Of the monument when erected,
will consist, not In the amount given,
but In the willing feeling which prompts
the giving; not alone that the money re-
quirrd for the work shall somehoc be
obtained, but that all, the poor and the
rich alike, shall share In the privilege Of
helping, be IL by ever so little, In les
worthy completion. IL will be the best
and highest tribute to our departed
statesman, that the monument dedicated
to him shall testify 10 the lore OF the
many, rather than TO the larger ability,
however generously bestowed, OF the
comparatively few.
The canvass Will begin about the MD
die Of this month May and all will be
given an opportunity To contribute.

to be delicious for all OF the purposes
TO which fruit sirups are commonly put,
as well as substitute for maple sirup.
Two fruits are shown that are grown
in no other state in the union-pino-
apples and cocoanuts, both very valua-
bic commercially. The cocoanut tree
thrives in the southern half of tho
peninsula part of the state only, while
the pine is successfully grown consid-
erably farther north, the cocoa be-
ing much more sensible to cold
than the pine, while it. in turn,
Is far more susceptible to in
jury from low temperature than the
orange. The pineapple is propagated
by setting out the offshoots that stand
defensively around the ripcued fruits
Each plant is good for three pines

and last year of its existence. The top
of the cocoa tree on exhibition Is from
Lake Worth. Its great leaves, from
twenty to twenty-five feet In length,
and It's cluster of nuts in their thick
green cases or huslIs, are n novelty to
the majority of visitors. AS the stump

nuts tSrowing out roots and sprouts,
one gains an insight into the habits
and appearance of the cocoanut plant
The stump is about twenty-four inches
In diameter, the entire tree some sixty
feet in height and its age is given by
the state representative as thirteen
years. He is also the authority for the
following facts: The cocoa bears
fruit at the age of six years and pro-
duces from three to four hundred nuts
every year. The nuts are planted In
rather shallow holes and lightly COW
cred. They soon sprout, two of the

A correspondent of American Garden

play of preserved pomaceous, stone and
