LARGE PAPAlAS.
Allen Herbert Gives Some Infor-
nation About Them.

The papia.' said Allen Herbert yes
terday. as he laid one the size of a
country fair squash on a table in the
reporters room, grows as easily as a
bad habit, and as quickly. If given at
tention the tree will present a beautiful
and tropical appearance, but if neglect
ed, it will spring up like a bean pole
and be about as attractive
The fruit of the papa tree is Of in
estimable value TO dyspeptics. owing TO
the amount of pepsin it contains. 1t
makes fine breakfast dish or deli
cacy as dessert. l have seen papia
trees continued Mr.. Herbert, that
have reached a height of 20 feet in as
and will grow far above the veranda
and furnish abundant shade But to do
this the branches must be cut at the
right season.
For breakfast, serve with a piece OF
lime, and if you happen TO have heart
burn, just eat few of the seeds. For
dessert remove the seeds, squeeze the
juice of a lime in each half, and then
sprinkle with powdered sugar and put
in the oven to bake. You will find less
inconvenience after eating it than if
you had eaten plum pudding. The
papa will sustain life longer than any
fruit, except, perhaps, banana
The leaves of the papia tree are ex-
cellent for COWS; a few leaves fed to
your mich COW will act as a proven
tative to tuberculosis, owing to the
anthelmintic properties it contains.
The fruit bloom, too of the papia is
beautiful, resembling the tube-rose in
shape and the orange blossom in quail
ity of perfume.
ct makes little difference how small
the area of land may be, every house
holder should plant some of the seed.
l have taken $50 pounds of fruit from
a tree three years old, and many of the
pieces were as large as this one. The
trees bear continuously, and you may
often see blossoms, green and ripe fruit
on the tree at the same time. A work
ing man or a business man making his
breakfast on papia and a glass of sweet
milk can do more hard work and more
good, solid brain work than the one
who turns cannibal and eats beef.
81 am going to put this sample and
some seeds in the Hebron Drug Com
pany's window, and any one who wants
the seeds may have them. The seeds
are all from extra large fruit, and the
man or woman too tired to dig a hole
in the ground has only to drop the seed
on the, ground and press on it with his
heel"

rope to His New Hampshire Diocese.

The Rt. Rev. D. NJ. Bradley, bishop of
Manchester, N. H., who has just returned
from European trip and his decennial
visit to Rome, held public reception at
ST. Joseph's Cathedral in that city Mon
day evening, which was attended by 5000
representatives of Manchester's six Catho-
lie parishes. After hymn of welcome
James f. Cavaraugh, speakinglfor the
people of the Cathedral parish, presented
the distinguished prelate check for
$4,000, collected by testimonial against the
wish of Bishop Bradley, expressed before
his departure from America.
The bishop was against such recognit-
ion on account of the depression III bust
ness, but he said tonight that he would
SPEND the money in church works and
charity. Bishop Bradley also forbade a
parade and illumination in his honor, but
nevertheless a great throng turned out to
welcome the beloved shepherd back to his
New Hampshire diocese.
Bishop Bradley was aFgreat fayorite in
Portland, where he was chancellor of the
diocese of Maine, and located at the Ca
| thedral of the Immaculate Conception.

HIS NARROW ESCAPE.
Capt. Kerr of This City Had An Offer to
Go On the Olive Pecker.

Capt. William M. Kerr, of this CITY.
was reported last night to be well ac-
quainted with Capt. Whitman and Mate
Saunders, the i'll fated officers of the
Oliver Pecker, and a reporter for the
PRESS called at his residence to see
what the captain could tell about these
mariners. Capt. Kerr was not at home
but Mrs. Kerr was.
Mrs. Kerr. said that her husband had a
request from Capt. Whitman to go with
him in the Oliver Pecker in the same DO
sitlon that Saunders afterwards filled.
When Capt Whitman was lookinglfor a
mate Capt. Hall, mutual friend of
Capts. Whitman and Kerr, suggested the
latter. Capt. Kerr would have been
pleased to accept but he had another en-
gagement at the time and was unable to
do SO. 1t is probable that if he had gone
on the Pecker the sad fate of Saunders
would have been his
Mrs. Kerr said that her husband knew
Capt. Whitman quite well and spoke of
him in the highest terms although he
did not generally talk much about peol
pie. He also spoke well of Saunders, as
a capable officer, although he never had
sailed with him.

CARELESS BOYS.
Cause a Serious Accident to Portland
Lady.

Miss Marion Stephenson, who resides at
the corner of Spring and State streets met
with serious accident Monday She
was riding on the Shore road at Cape
Elizabeth on her bicycle and just as she
turned the corner at Judge Symonds' s
cottage, two boys mounted on ponies,
coming at high rate of speed from the
opposite direction, ran into her and
knocked her down. The ponies hoofs
caught in the wheel and in trying to ex-
tricate themselves, Miss Stephenson was
badly trampled on. The boys rode rapidly
away without stopping to see what in
jury they had done. Patrolman John
Conlon came along and carried Miss
Stephenson who was insensible, into
Judge Symonds's cottage, where doctor
succeeded in restoring her to conscious
ness, and she was, later, sent home in a
carriage.
Yesterday afternoon Miss Stephenson
was getting along very comfortably and
no serious results were anticipated. The
young lads when they arrived home told
their parents all about the affair and they
fastened to see Mrs. Stephenson. The
family feel that the matter was an acct
dent that probably could not have well
been avoided, Replace where it occurred
being very dangerous location.

by Mrs. Stevens. Miss Agnes Slack.

scoffed at by the higher class. She

been made since then, illustrating by
many fitting anecedote, and in closing,

Gus victory would be won in the near
