paign, Saturday evening, with grand rally
in Petier's hall, on the plains. AT 7 o'clock,
two cars, with the Richmond Band, left
Main street and went with music and fire
works to the lower end of the city. The
hall was well filled. A very eloquent
speech was made in French, by j. H. Bur
don of Biddeford. The audience was very
enthusiastic, as the close attention given
the speakers and frequent bursts of ap-
plause went to show. Following him, Hon.
VIM. T. IIaines made vigorous speech,
which was also received with great enthusi-
asm. The band furnished excellent music

A Cure for Every Diseas
CORK WOOD.
A Cork Tree Must Be Twenty Years Old
Before the First Cutting.


There is no country where SO much
cork wood is used as in America. The Chi
.ago Inter Ocean makes rough estimate
that over 100, 900 bales are annually I'M
ported and says: The leading purpose for
which it is used is for forming bungs and
shoppers for bottles and other vessels con-
tanning liquids, but great deal IS also
employed in the manufacture of life pre-
servers, cork jackets and belts and in the
construction of lifeboats. On account OF
its lightness it is often used for the soles
of shoes and for hat Innings. Artificial
legs and arms are made of it, bicycle han
dies and pommels in leather dressing.
Cork was not used for stopping bottles
until the end of the seventeenth century,
though Horace speaks of the Romans
using it as stopper for their wine vessels.
All the cork wood imported into America
comes from Spain and Portugal. There
arc cork groves in South America but
they have not been under culture as long
as the European ones, aDl the wood is con-
seaucntly coarse and inferior in quality.
AlQiers has fine cork wood, but the cost of
transporting it such a tremendous distance
renders it practically unavailable for the
American market.
The climate of the United States is per-
fcctly adapted to the growth of cork wood,
and large plantations have been started in
Florida and California, but q tree attains
the age of 90 years before the first cutting
takes place, and then the yield is rough,
uneven and coarse in texture. 1t can be
used only for rustic work or as a tanning
substance At the second stripping of the
trees the bark is still so coarse as to be
only fit for making floats for nets, etc. AS
the operation Of stripping the trees occurs
only once in every 10 years, it will probably
be at least 40 years before the American
cork groves are of any practical use. In
the meantime the United States will have
to depend on the cork groves of Spain and
Portugal.

COME De PARIS DEAD.
Sank Quietly to Rest at His hem', Stowe
House, Al London.

LONDON, Sept. 9.-The Connie de Paris
died at S:40 o'clock Saturday morning at
Stowe house. The death was one OF quiet
and peace on the part of the comte and OF
profound emotion to the circle of relatives
about his bedside During the night the
comte several times appeared to have
passed away, SO feeble was his pulse and
so deadly his pallor. Dr. Racamier had
the most extreme difficulty frequently In
feeling the light beats of the heart and
the weakness Of the distinguished sufferer
during his last hours was so great that he
was unable to speak, although he sue
ceeded in making it apparent that he de-
sired to utter few more words OF farewell
to those around him.

The Londonderry sifter. (South Londonderry, Vt.) 1883-19??, 1894-09-07

There Is reason to believe that the
flesh Of a young boiled alligator is bare
ly distinguishable from veal 1t is prob
ably cleaner and more tender than much
of the meat of the animals that are
usually consumed as food on the CONT
nent or in the east end of London. I
have never desired to taste the flesh of
alligators, cooked or uncooked. But in
India l have seen the Sontals and other
casteless natives greedily devour the
flesh of an alligator without waiting to
cook it. The flesh was very pale in color,
and probably was much superior to the
flesh of snakes and rats and such like
creatures which form the ordinary food
Vt the predatory Sontal when hunting in
his native woods. 1t does not fall to hii
lot very often to be able to circumvent
and slay and eat large alligator He
more frequently comes upon small alli-
gators, and they go to swell the con-
tents of his cooking pots. If, however,
he is so lucky as to meet sahib who
has shot large alligator, say about
feet long, he eagerly falls upon the UNI
wonted delicacy without waiting to
cook livery much as we read in books
Of African adventure that the natives
devour the carcasscs Of the large game
animals that the English sportsmen do
not want fer their own followers.

Live Pigeon shooting.

Live pigeon shooting from traps will
never become generally popular in this
country, because it is doubtful if there
Is any form of so called "sport" which
offers so little amusement for so large q
price 1t is cheaper to keep a saddle
horse and pair of trotters the year
round than to indulge in pigeon shoot
ing to any great extent The well known
pigeon clubs in tho vicinity Of New
York sell birds to their members for 85
cents apiece, and besides this cost the
sportsmen must pay for his cartridges,
fee tho men who manipulate the traps
and provide himself with refreshments.
If bets are made-and there are many
who seek to recopp themselves in this
way-the expense is likely to be much
greater. In England and ON the CONT
nent there are great many men who are
said to make a good living ont Of pigeon
shooting by means of bets made on the
matches in which they take part them
selves, but here such means Of exist
ence would be looked upon as preca-
rious to say the least
The birds arc supplied to the club
members at about their original cost,
but certain profit is made through
their natural Increase as well as by the
sale Of the dead birds at 81. 90 dozen
and by. the returning of those pigeons
which escape unhurt to the barn from
which they came Tho number of pi-
geons killed during brisk season at the
different clubs in the vicinity of New
York is very large. New York Sun.
