Judge Black OF Searsport.

The Tuesday evening session of the Gov
ernor and Council was devoted largely to
the hearing OF the Searsport municipal court
matter. The last Legislature passed an act
establishing municipal court in Searsport
and the Governor, upon the recommendation
of the State committee and of some of the
Searsp0rt people, nominated j. W. Black to
the office of judge of the municipal court.
This was opposed by W. t. c. Runnells of
the town, who asked for hearing. Mr..
Ruunells appeared and presented his case.
He argued strongly against the appointment
of the Judge and especially of Mr., Black,
who he alleged was in league with the rum
element, and is not character that should
be expected judge. The Governor ex-
planned that the law was made and it was
now but for him to appoint a man. The
question was who should be appointed, and
not should there be Judge.
A. L. Brown of Belfast was present and
defended Mr.. Blacks reputation, and said
the lawyers OF the county, with the except
ion of Mr.. Runnels, endorsed Mr.. Black.
In the executive session, the Council voted
to approve the nomination of Mr.. Black All
the nominations bv the Governor were con-
trmed with the exception OF that of James
ID. Ames OF Unity, who was nominated as
trial justice upon the recommendation of
people of Unity. Complaints have been
lodged against Mr.. Ames, and the nomina-
tion was held up for investigation. Kenne-

Order OF the Eastern Star.

The order of the Eastern Star, which held
its seventh annual Grand Chapter in
Augusta last week, is rapidly growing in
numbers and popularity. The order is
goTerned by General Grand Chapter OF

Protect the Mayflowers.

The Calais Times is waging a war against
the picking Of the trailing arbutus. 1t says:
The destruction of the May ytiower, the
trailing arbutus, by wanton pickers, who
grab this lovely plant up by the roots, is
awakening indignation. The arbutus is at
once very hardy and very sensitive plant.
1t sustains the severest rigors of winter hat
the insult of roofing it out of the ground is
more than it can bear, and in a year or two
after the savage onslaughter begins in any
region the plant gives up the attempt to
grow, and the few roots left put out no new
shoots and hasten to die. Connecticut has a
statute to protect this sweetest of spring
flowers. 1t imposes penalties upon all who
root it up. The Maine Legislature should
not only adopt a similar law, but should
prohibit the picking of the flower for term
of years
The practice of pulling this much priced
plant up by the roots is not unknown here,
where the May flower is none too abundant
at best, and in some cases owners OF the
land where it grows have warned off tres
passers. By all means protect the May flow
ers.

ested party of commercial men at the sta
tion this morning. 1t has been in use on the
road for two or three years, yet is somewhat
OF novelty to most of u.s. Mr.. Sawtelle
has had the ma inc in running order for
about month now and generally makes
his trips out of the city in the early morning,
made the trip from Bnrnham to Belfast. a
distance of 35 miles in four hours, and the 80
miles between Dexter and Newport in three
hours. He says he can make between eight
and ten miles an hour off on the road with
clear track, and when once started, goes
along very easily. [Waterville Mail.

Some Simple Directions for Making an
Herbarium,

To get satisfactory results some sort of
press is necessary: Take two strips of board
"a OF an inch thick and IA by %; screw ceats
across each of the ends. Perforate with a
small bit in some symetrical figure, maltese
cross, star, or letters of the alphabet. Cut
notches in the ends for two small wooden
set-screws such as cabinet-makers use, Re.
move the end screw from each, and Won
have clamps of sufficient power to set your
press hard upon as many plants as it will
hold. Two dozen "dryers," the width of
the press, and short enough to 20 inside Of
the clamps. These may be blottinp sheets.
or the porous paper used for putting under
carpets. Cut newspaper to the size of these
dryers and put the plant to be pressed be-
tween two of the sheets, taking pains to
have its leaves and petals smooth, and ar
ranged to show as well as possible the parts
OF the plant. 1t is best to put a dryer on
one board OF the press and sheet of paper
on top OF that, and then arrange the plant
upon the paper, after which, cover with a
sheet of paper, and then dryer. Repeat
the process until you have as many plants
as you wish in the press. Then put on top of
all, the other leaf of the press and apply the
screws, setting them as hard as possible,
The plants will shrink in few hours, and
it is we'll to take a turn on the screws now
and then during the first day. Change the
dryers every day at first. Do this without
disturbing the plants between the papers
further than to smooth out any plants,
leaves or petals, which were distorted in
the first process. 1t is better to take extra
pains at first and then leave the plants un-
disturbed for several days until drying is
well advanced.
Take care to select for drying, plants with
freshly blossomed flowers whenever choice
can be made, as flowers which have lost
their first freshness are more likely to
change color in drying, and the result is not
IN any respect 80 satisfactory as when new
ly bloomed plants are selected. Write on
the top paper the name of the plant within,
the place where found, and the date of find
ing. Do this when it goes into the press.
Some plants dry quickly, others require a
long time. Be sure a plant is thoroughly
dry before removing it from the press. Pack
away in some dry place in the papers be-
tween which they were dried, with strip
of board on top of the pile, weighted with a
brick or two. 1t is most convenient for fu-
ture reference to put plants in families with
tag Label on one of the ends of the papers,
to show at glance the place of each
