Something About the Beautiful and Fra
grant Pimento. Tree. 3
The pimento or allspice tree is culti-
waited in the West Indies and Jamaica.
This beautiful tree usually grows to Q
height of about 80 feet. 1t has u straight
trunk, much branohed above, and COW
cred with a very smooth brown bark.
The leaves vary in size and shape, but
are always of dark, shining green
color. During the months Of July and
August the tree is in full bloom, the
blossoms consisting of very fragrant,
small, white flowers.
When q new plantation Of pimento
trees is to be formed, no regular sowing
or planting takes place, because it is
next to impossible = propagate the
young plants or to Afaise them from
seeds in parts Of the country where they
are not found growing spontaneously.
Usually piece Of land is selected either
close to plantation already formed or
in part Of the woodland where pimen-
to trees are growing in native state.
The chosen piece Of land 10 then cleared
Of all wood except these trees, and the

the ground for the purpose of protecting
the very young pimento plants.
At the end Of two years the land is
thoroughly cleared, and only the most
vigorous pimento trees and plants are
left standing. The plants come to ma
turity in about seven years.
In favorable seasons the pimento crop
is enormous, single tree often yielding
hundred or more pounds of the dried
spice. The berries are picked while
green, because if left on the tree until
ripe they lose their pungent taste and
are valueless. The green berries are ex-
posed to the sun for week or ten days,
when they lose their green color and
turn a reddish brown. When perfectly
dry, they are put in bags and casks for
expectation.
The odor and the taste of the pilnento
berries are thought to resemble COM
bination of those Of cinnamon, nutmeg
and cloves; hence the familiar name
"allspice. "-Philadelphia Times.

Democratic Candidate for Vice President
Accepts the Nomination. p
BATH, Me-, Oct. 7.-Hon. Arthur
Sewall, Democratic candidate for vice
president of the United States, has
made public his letter of acceptance.
The document is mainly devoted to the
silver question, which is said to be the
paramount issue Of the campaign. Mi
Sewall begins by denouncing the singh
gold standard and charging that pres
ent conditions are the result of that
financial policy. Continuing he says
We know we'll the nature of the strug-
gle in which we are engaged; we are anx'
ious only that the people of the land shall
understand it, and then our battle Is won.
Behind the strong entertainment of the
gold standard are gathered all these ia
vored classes it has fostered, the only dan
oerous classes of the land. Avarice and
unholy greed are there; every trust and
combination are there; every monopoly
is there led by the greatest monopoly Of
all, the
Monopoly of the Power of Gold.
With us in our assault upon these en-
trenchments are all these unselhsh men
who, not now suffering themselves, can-
n OF rest content with conditions so full Of
suffering for others, and that vaster num-
Der of our people who have been sacrificed
to the small and selfish class who now re-
sist their attempts to regain their ancient
rights and liberties. These are the patri-
OTIS of 1896-the foes Of a dishonest dol
lar" which enriches 10 per cent of our
people to rob the rest; the defenders Of
the homes of the land, the public morals
and the public faith, both OF which alike
forbid the payment Of government obliga-
tions in coin costlier to those who have
to pay it than that which the contract
calls for; the defenders of the honor Of
the nation, whose most sacred charge Is to
care for the welfare Of all it's citizens.
Free Coinage the Sole Remedy.
The free and unlimited coinage of silver
is the sole remedy with which to check
the wrongs of today, to undo the ruin of
the past, and for our inspiration we have
the Justice of our cause and those cher
ished principles of jefferson and jackson,
which shall be our guide on our return to
power:
Equal and exact justice to all men,
absolute acquiescence in decisions of the
majority, the vital principles of the repub-
lie, the honest payment of our debts and
sacred preservation of the public faith"
Profoundly sensible Of the high honor Of
the nomination you tender, am, truly
yours, ARTHUR SEWALL.

WEST SUPERIOR, Wis, Oct. 1.-THE

that the shutting down Of their plants

call for the restoration of the Mime
