ABOUT EASTER LILIES.
They Are Unusually Fine, This Sea-
son and the Triumph Has Been Hard
Won,

An Easter without Easter lilies
would lose much of it's beauty, for
there is no other flower so significant
of the spirit of the day. There is nc
danger. however, that this Easter will
be without lilies, for there has been a
great deal of bright, clear, sunny
weather In the past few weeks, and all
that the florists need is plenty of bright
light and sunshine. One week of
sunshine now is worth more than a
month of it earlier, for between now
and Easter the plants must come to
the fulness Of their perfection, that
the splendid blossoms may faunt
triumphantly forth for Easter morn
ing.
There will not be a prodigal waste
of lilies this season, for the reason
that many florists who planned on hav-
ing immense showing of blossoms have
been disappointed. 1t seems that the
bulbs on the whole were not as good
as usal, and there will, therefore, be a
scarcity of flowers, compared to some
years. and yet those that do blossom
will be unusually fine. The lily seen in
the greatest numbers is the Longi-
forum. This lily is the largest and
most respondent of all the Easter
lilies. Very few of the commonly called
Ascension lily are grown now. This is
a small lily--not nearly so deep as the
LOngiflOrum.

st. Patrick's day will be celebrated in
this city by concert at MeOnian hall,
this evening. under the auspices of St.
Mary's choir. Since Rev. c. w.
Doherty became pastor of st. Mary's
church, some Is years ago, the day has
usually been recognized by an enter
tainment of some sort. This year the
concert and literary exercises will be
of the same high order as those of the
past. William, II. CULVER of Portland,
a rising young lawyer of the Maine
metropolis, will be the lecturer. He will
speak of ireland in America" and.
although a stranger in the city, he
comes recommended and endorsed by
those who know him in his home. That
his lecture will be interesting, enter
tanning and instructive is an assured
fact. The musical program, also, will
be of the highest character. Dennis Or
chestra VIII be in attendance and will
lend additional interest to the enter
tainment.

valuable mineral deposits now known
to exist within our land. During al
| these years he carried on an extensive
correspondence with the people in all
the settled portions of Maine and New
England relative to the natural re-
sources, population, commerce. agri-
culture and manufactures of the dis
, trict.
I'm 1916 he published the results OF
his labors in small book of one hun
dred and fifty-four pages, entitled "A
Statistical View of the District OF
Maine" His work was a revelation
not only to the inhabitsnts of the dis
trict and to the people of New England
but also to the statesmen Of the Ma
ton.
AT that time the vast interior of
Maine was an unknown land to the
settler along the coast and to the
people of New England. A few wan
dering woodsmen and hunters had
traversed the depths of it's forests but
they thought little and cared not at all
about the future greatness of this
land.
This book was published by permits
sioH VI tHe Legislature or MaSSdcnu-
sets. 1t was the first public docu-
ment distributed and circulated in the
homes of the people of Maine. It's eff
feet was not less powerful at home
than abroad. 1t furnished the people
with facts and arguments in the dis
cussion of the question of separation.
1T was considered of such Importance
in it's bearing upon the question at
issue, that nearly sixty pages were
given to it's discussion in the third vol.
ume Of the North American Review,
then published at Boston. It's value at
the present time is not ihconsiderable,
since it gives in an enduring form the
beginnings of Maine.
"Manv historical facts are stated in
the pages of this little book that you
may search in vain to find elsewhere
There are hundreds of this valuable
document now lying in the store rooms
and garrets of old homesteads in the
older towns of our State. These books
might well be rescued from unde-
served oblivion ard placed in the free
libraries as the beginning of collec-
ton of the history of Maine

STATE HOUSE.
Railroad Tax Will Be Greater
Than in 1901.
Valuable Work Issued by United States
Pension Office. -
Farmers Institute Will 30 Held IN
Caribou, April list.

The work of assessing the excise tax
upon Maine railroads, which must he
committed to the State treasurer On
April l, is about completed by the state
assessors, although the amount cannot
now be stated. 1t is a fact, however,
that a handsome increase in revenue
will result from the new tax law pass
ed by the Legislature of 1901. 1t VIII De
remembered that this law raised the
percentage of tax upon the gross re-
ceipts per mile so that if q large in
come WAS received by any road the tax
would larger proportionately than If
the receipts were small. The burden of
taxation, therefore, falls upon the pros
porous roads, upon those doing large
business. AS Il result of the workings
of the new law, it will be noticed that
the railroad tax of 1901 was $l11 ,01.15
in excess of that of 1900. In the latter
year the tax amounted to STA, S40.66,
while in 1901 it reached the sum of $291,-
911.S1, a very handsome and welcome
increase. But the tax of 1901 was based
upon the incomes of the railroads for
the year ending June 30, 1890. when the
companies did not do the business that
they have since done. The railroad
year, from July /, 1900 to June 80, 1901;
was the most successful in the history
of Maine railroads. The freight and
passenger traffic during that year was
very largely increased over that of any
previous year.
So it is safe to assume that the tax
for this year will show a splendid in
crease over that of last year.

Previous to hitching the TEEN, one
horse had been driven in the rake
and knots had been aied in the lin

when they attached the two horses.
When the team began running the
boys could not control them for tho
reason that when the knots in the
lines pulled back to the ring on the
hames they could go no further
and the horses had it all their own
way. Both boys were thrown off
