How Rose Bushes Are Protected.

The Transcript says that a Portland
man, who raises a great many Jacque-
minot and other beautiful roses for his
private use and pleasure has accumulat-
ed, during the past winter 100 POUNDS OF
tobacco dust and 100 pounds of tobacco
leaf stems to use in protecting his roses
bushes from insects. He makes a liquid
decoction from the stems. He paid i've
cents pound for the dust and two cents
for the stems, obtaining them from time
to time at our cigar factories. When
cigars arc made, the small fragments of
the leaf that accumulate on the tables
and floors crumble into dust after they
dry. and all of this finds ready market
with our florists at five cents a pound.
Perhaps 100 pounds of dust accumulate
in Portland during month.

The painting entitled "Tullia," repro
duced in No. 5 of Famous Paintings of
the World,'' represents one of the most
famous legends of primitive Rome. Old
Servius Tullius was one of the primitive
kings of Rome. Like Lear, he had a
most wicked daughter. aShe would mar
ry into the naughty family of the Tar
quips, thing most inimical to her faith
er's interests and that of her country,
but well calculated to minister to her
own pride. So sedition arose, and her
father was dethroned and slain. Instead
of sorrowing for her fathers death she
rejoiced rather and led the insurgents.
She put herself into her chariot, and
drove her horses over her fathers dead
body lying in the street. The other
daughter, Cornelia-like, is Mortified at
the sacrilege, and would fain thrust back
her unnatural sister. This is the scene
depicted in the painting. The original
of the painting was exhibited in the
German department. of fine arts at the
Worlds Fair and attracted much atten-
ton.

PoRTLAND's ENTERTAINMENT.
The Delegates of the State Board of
Trade Have Gone Home Well Pleased.

The delegates of the State Board of
Trade were much pleased with the en-
tertainment which Portland had afforded
them, and so expressed themselves as
they departed for home yesterday. The
members of the Portland Board are to be
congratulated on the handsome way in
which they played the part of hosts. In
this they were assisted not little by
Mr.. John Torrance, Jr., agent OF the Do
minion Steamship Company, and Mi. Z.
w. T. Cooling, of the Casco Bay line.
In the forenoon, the delegates were
taken aboard one Of the Casco Bay line
boats and carried down the harbor,
around Cushings Island and by the forts.
Of course the harbor is not at its best at
this season, but it was wonderfully at
tractive yesterday morning. especially as
q considerable fleet of vessels was COM
ing into the harbor at the time, including
the great ship St. John, from Japan.
Returning to the Grand Trunk wharves
the party repaired aboard the 1lne Do
minion liner Vancouver, where Mr. Tor
rance and Captain FL. E. Williams were
waiting to greet them. After inspect
ing this great ship, the party were lnvlt-
ed to the cabin, where lunch had been
prepared. This lunch, in the choiceness
and variety of the viands, amounted to
a regular banquet. 1t was in the En-
glish style, with delicious roast beef.
roast turkey, plum pudding, etc., for the
main articles, while the rarest delicacles
of the season were added also.
About sixty gentlemen were present at
the luncheon. After cigars were lighted,
Mr.. Sibley of Belfast on behalf OF Pres
ident Lord, who was unable to be pres
emit. called the assembly to order. while
a little of the unfinished business OF the
day before was transacted. This being
done the party adjourned, after adopting
a general resolution of thanks. A white
salute. of the Chautauqua variety, was
given Mr.. Torrance and Captain Will
liams, upon suggestion OF Professor
Stetson of Auburn. as tho party departed.

ANOTHER swlNDLE.
How Two Men Want to Advertise Their
Business.

Two men in Deering yesterday morn
ing worked new racket These two
men drove up to the house of Mrs. Crock
ett on Ocean street, and one of
them rang the bell. When the lady
went to the door he showed her box of
stationery. He told her they were just
starting in and wanted to advertise their
business from house to house, instead of
in the newspapers. Each envelope con-
tanned sum of money, he asserted, and
she was invited to draw at random. She
did draw several envelopes and there was
money in them. Then he said he want
ed to talk with her husband and asked
her to put $40 into an envelope, seal it
up and place it in the box. As a guar
antee of good faith, he said he would
leave the box in her care, stating that
there was $40 of his own in it. She did
as he requested. He sealed up the 500
and he put tin the box as she supposed.
Then he and his companion drove away.
At noon, when Mrs. Crockett's son came
home, he suspected a swindle. The
box left in the lady's custody was OPP
ened and examined, but there was not
dollar in it. One of the men was tall
with brown moustache, the other short.
They had close carriage and bay
horse.
Deputy Marshal Hartnett made inquir-
les of the different livery stable keepers
and ascertained that Mr.. Wilson had let
team driven by an employe named
Smith, to two men, who answered the
description of the swindlers, to go to
Deering An officer was left at the
stable and late in the afternoon Smith
returned with the team. After leaving
Deering the men were driven to West
brook where they got three packages,
and then continued to Gorham where
they told Smith to return to Yves tbrook
with the team and they would join him
there by train. That's the last that
Smith saw of them. They probably
took the train at Gorham for Rochester,

The Ottawa House.

The Advertiser of last evening very
properly says:
There seems to be an even chance that
the Ottawa House will remain closed
during the coming season. This is the
best seaside hotel in this vicinity and it
would be disgrace to the city to have
it lie idle all summer. There is no need
of such a thing, for several reliable par
ties stand ready to lease it and they
should be given chance. Better have
the hotel open. gentlemen, even if you
don't make cent on it.

he was so big. One sees again the old

does not force himself on the audience.
