A Curious Natural Bridge.

Recently a man, prospecting in the
mining regions of Arizona, found q
remarkable natural bridge. 1t spans
a deep canon, forty-flve feet in width.
The bridge is made by a great petri-
fed tree that lies across the gorge
Scientific men say that, many ages
since, this tree was Frustrated by
some terrific storm and fell across the
canon. By the effects of the water
and of time it has passed through
many stages of naturalization and is
now a wonderful tree of solid agate.
And there it lies, making an agate
bridge over which men may pass from
side to side.

! The plaintiffs, attorneys at law
| brought this action to recover for pro-
| fessional services rendered by them in
behalf of the defendant, in defense of
an action for an alleged assault and
battery.
The defendant at the time of the al
legged assault was acting as a police
officer. He was not arrested on the
writ, and the suit was disposed of by
an engry OF neither party, no further
action" The amount claimed by the
attorneys for their services was a rea-
sonable compensation.
At the time of the service of the
pl1intilfs writ there was due from the
trustee to the defendant fifteen dollars
as wages for his personal labor, for a
time hot exceeding one month next
preceding the service of the process.
The question presented is whether
the funds in the hands of the trustees
are er.' mpt from attachments under
Chapter sc, Section 55, r. S., paragraph
c. The trustee can be held only if the
subject matter of this suit against the
defendant is for "necessaries,' fur
nished him or his family.
Aside from the exclusion of certain
classes of articles or services, of which
it may be predicted as matter of law
that they are not comprised in the
term, "necessaries," what are neces-
saries is a question of fact, depend
cnt upon the varying circumstances
of each case. 1t is impossible to make
general rules sufficiently definite to
admit CT exclude all cases as matter
of law. 1t is only practical to contract
the dehatable ground as far as possible
AS applied to legal services rendered
in litigation, a safe rule of general APP
pication is that such rendered in the
defense of criminal prosecution, and
in defense OF a civil action in which
the defendant has been arrested, are
necessities.
IL the present case there was no ar
rest. but the fact that he was liable to
arrest on execution after judgment
against him is to be considered. 1t is
analogous to cases where original ar
rests Wee made.
The defendant was a police officer,
anG as such liable to prosecutions of
the character described in this case.
The suit against him affected his rep
utation as a citizen and an officer, and
he was forced to defend it to avoid
consequences more injurious than the
loss of property rights; and the legal
services rendered in his defense. I'M
der the circumstances, may properly
be included in the term, necessaries,
to whiCl. the statute has given pref
erencc.

THE FIRST BIRDS.
Those Which Herald the Spring in this
Part of Maine.

! Almost before the flowers arrive n
delight the lover of the beautiful and
the dcvotee of out-of-do or-life the
birds begin to attract attention. There
are many who listen for the first well
come MARBLE of the robin. There are
but a few, however, comparatively
! speaking, out of the masses of the peo-
pie, who note the arrival of the other
birds. Perhaps it is because other
/ birds are less conspicuous and easily
| distinguished. Certain it is that to
| learn to tell the different warblers and
| sparroMs is no easy task. If the males
and females were alike and the Young
! like the adult, this would be much
easier. But nature never consulted
man in the arrangement of bird plum
age and the distribution of bird songs.
The arrival of some of the birds is
quite as early in Maine this season as
| is common The robins have been
| thick, the bluebird has flashed in and
out among the gnarled old apple trees
with his brilliant hueS and the song
sparrow's trill has delighted the ear.
From now on, the number and va
riety of our most beautiful songsters
will increase. A friend who comes
early is the red-winged blackbird and
| it is q welcome sound when his clear
sweet rote rings out over the marshes
and inca dows from the shrubs border
| ing the water. The male is worth
seeing, if one can catch the flash of
his scarlet epaulets as he rises from
the twig where he has been singing and
sweeps off over the lake or stream.
L
uous and like most of her kind re-
ceiveS Jar less homage than the male
from the genus homo.
The flicker is a bird that is often
taken by the amateur for a newcom-
er. But he really stays around all the
season, only he makes himself more
conspicuous in the early spring. He
laughs with joy when the first warm
days arrive and he taps away joyously
at every dead limb he can find.
Soon the rival sparrow comes, the
white throated sparrow, the ground
sparrow, etc. The bobolink and the
Baltimore oriole are more familiar to
the general observer than some of the
other varieties and they are very inter-
esting. The bobolink has few peers
for a merry song as he dips and
swt cps through the air. The oriole
has coat of beautiful hues that is
even more exquisite than the red of
the robin. Less conspicuous, but new
er-the-less in many ways attractive are
the grackles, kingfishers, swallows, the
cedar bird and whip-poorwi will, the cow
birds, pewees and the familiar Phoebe
bird with it's peculiar whistle. AS
April PASSES almost all of the birds
are here and by May they are mated
and at their nest making, the veery
and thrushes along with the rest sing
their nest beautiful songs and there
is abundant material for the bird lover
and the camera crank before the trees
have fully leaved out.

A we'll known local physician, in con-
versation with Journal reporter, yes
terday, secuted the idea that scarlet
fever contacion was carried in the at
,nosphere. He believes that in most all
cases it is carried in scales in food or
clothing or else is taken from the di-
rect inhaling of the breath of persons
sick with it. Scarlet fever is both
conta gious and infections. The danger
of its spread is greatest during the
scaling period. and yet it is during this
very time, that the vigilence of quar-
antine is apt to be relaxed. Where a
patient is kept in one room until all
danger of infection is past, it is a COM
parati, ely easy task to carry out the
work of disinfection. When pauen;
is allowed to roam at will over the
whole house during the period of con-
yalescence-as is very apt to be the
case with child-the work of disinfec-
ton is rendered vastly more difficult
and complicated. Too great care can
not be used to guard against this de-
sease which, while not specially dan
gerous in itself. is liable always to leao
10 serious complications.

A new scarlet fever case developed
Monday III the family of John Pierce
on Scott street, the patient being Il
small child. An investigation of the
source of oontagior in this case by the
sanitary inspector traces it to the Da-
Wis family on the east side. At the
time the first case appeared that fam
lily, the Pierce's, were living near
neighbors to them. Before the case of
the Davis child was diagnosed as scar
let fever, and was thought to be merely
an attack of tonsilitis, a girl from
there came into the Pierce family and
took the baby in her arms. Sixteen
days later the child came down with
the fever, which would seem to indi-
cate that, for y time at least whatever
infection there may have been in the
first instance, must have adhered in
the clothing.

SHORTAGE OF BANANAS.
Drouti, in Jamaica Causes Search For
Fruit Elsewhere.

There is a shortage in the supply of
bananas, and the shortage comes at
an unfortunate time for the demand
is much heavier than usual. 1t isn't
felt yet in the local market, but it is
likely to be. The cause of the short
age is a protracted drouth in sections
of the island of Jamaica.
While bananas are grown extensive
ly throughout the West Indies and
Central America, nearly all bananas
that come to this section and in gem
eral to the northern markets are
raised in jamaica. The reason for
this is, the Jamaica bananas are bet
ter adapted to shipments, and give
more satisfactory results in hand
ling.
The supply of Jamaica bananas Is
so limited, that bananas are to be i'm
ported from Port Limon, Central
America, for Boston and Worcester
markets. The bananas from Port
I.;mon will have to be picked before
they have matured to the same extent
as the jamaica bananas, otherwise
they would be too rioe when they
reached the market.
Bananas are grown extensively in
Cuba, but experience has taught fruit
handlers that Cuban bananas cannot
be shipped to northern markets with
good results. Cuban bananas are thin
skinned and ripen very quickly. 1t
allowed to remain upon the plant
until they have attained a marketable
size, it is almost impossible to get
them to the northern markets before
they have ripened. They must be
sold Immediately on arrival or they
will spoil. If the scarcity of bananas
continues, there is likely to be an adj
vance in prices by the Augusta deal
