We wonder if all the Democrats in
Portland are so much in love with Mr..
Cleveland as they protested to be about
district convention time last August.
Do they still consider him the same
fearless, far seeing man of sound Judg-
ment that they did then? Or have
they become wiser as well as sadder
since then?

STATE TOPICS OF INTEREST.

A rather peculiar phenomenon was OBJ
servable Wednesday morning. when the
river and Bangor were covered with a
dense, frosty mist that obscured any
thing more than a very limited vision.
while the atmosphere in Brewer was en-
tirely clear of the foggy appearance.
The line of the edge of the veil of mist
on the Brewer side of the river was
clearly marked.

SUPERSTITION IN FISHING.
The Virtue Supposed to Reside In
the Whiskers of IA Black Cat.

The Virtue Supposed to Reside I'm
the Whiskers of u Black Cat.
Superstition claims but little part
of my nature" said Willard Spenser,
yesterday, but l must confess that in
fishing one meets the same incidents
so often that it is impossible to as
cribe their occurrence to mere chance"
Mr.. Spenser is considered one of the
most expert fishermen in the country.
He is scientific from the backbone i'll
pursuing this sport. He not only makes
his own rod and tackle, but AYERS that
none can be purchased that will ap-
proach his handiwork. Mr. Spenser,
of course, makes all the flies he uses,
and there is not one of the various fam
cies of the devOtees of IZaak Walton
which he has not tested.
Il mean" continued Mr.. SpnSer
''that there is a great deal of virtue in
the source from which you get your
hackles, feathers etc, from which you
make your flies. At least l have test
ed this in several instances and have
found my theory correct. One day l

ers. They We're quite long and of the
color | wanted. Without waiting to
consider | concluded those bristling

stituting some dogs whiskers for the

Thinking that the eats whiskers might
have some peculiar effect, / took out
the dogs whiskers and replaced them
with some I took from another black
cat. 1t worked like charm for never

Altar OF ROSES.
Six Billion DamasS Buds Gathered Every
Year to Make 1t.

Year to Make 1t.
Since the emancipation of the Bal
kan provinces the manufacture of at
tar of roses has become great indus
try in Bulgaria, and has been taken
up on a large scale in Germany. We
have all been accustomed to connect
the fabrication of altar of roses with
Persia and Syria and even now India
and Constantinople furnish probably
the largest markets for 1t; but, although
the art of making 1t was discovered
in Persia, the manufacture has now
nearly or quite died out. and the CEN
ter of the business is now the country
about Kanzanlik. on the south slope
of the Balkans, close to the Shipka or
Wild Rose Pass, famous in the history
of the Russo-Turkish war. The rose
growing belt is situated at an aver
age altitude of 1000 feet above the sea-
and extends to a length of about
seventy miles, with an average
breadth of ten miles. On this ground
are produced annually from 5000, 000,-
900 to 5000, 000, 900 rose bloSSmS.
The number of varieties cultivated Is
very small. Ninety per cent of all the
blossoms are taken from bushy vari-
ETY. of the Ross Damascena, or damask
rose, known to our gardeners mainly
as the ancestor from which the infinite
variety of hybrid perpetual roses de-
rive large part of their blood. OF the
remaining ten per cent part are gath
cred from the white musk rose, which
is frequently planted as hedge around
the fields of pink Damascena, while the
rest are furnished by dark red variety
of Damascena. Other sorts of roses
have been tried, but some yield no at
tar at all, and others give an essence
having the perfume of violets, or pine
apples or hyacinth. rather than roses.

Vandyne, the artist, had just brought

Her hair was of the beautiful bronze

women who unconsciously inspire men

Finally some one suggested that we

she displayed a childlike desire to see
it, So we started off, she on my arm

men loud in a discussion as TO the

to have forgotten us.
We talked animatedly as we walked
