Myrrh and Acacia.
Incense IL the resinous gum that ex-
udes from tree found In British So
maitland from near Bcrbcra to Cape
Guardafui. Some incense comes from
region adjoining Masknt, near the
Arabian const. Inferior incense Is
found I'm India, but the best and great
est quantity comes from British So
maitland.
The incense tree Is squatty, thorny
and unsightly, like the myrrh and aca-
cia, and seldom reaches n height Of fif-
teen feet.
Incense is not only used I'm worship,
but many orlentals use II to sweetcn
the breath and burn II In their houses
to kill dlsagrccable odors. The crop va
ries from 2,2IO000 To 100000 pounds
and is gathered I'm the autumn and
brought TO market by the Somnlls dur
ing the winter months. The price
ranges from . to q annas q To II cents
per pound, according to quality.
Incense is extensively used nll over
the orient, and last year 1,io3,7il
pounds were Slipped to Bombay, which
Is great distributing point, and l,i26,-

In certain sickncsses, says n scientist,
such as typhoid, life may depend on

Of vlgor in maturity.

like almost all other foods, these milk
substances are all digcstiblc, and, what
is more, they exist in almost precisely

THE Democratic convention soc

THE Democratic convention soon
to take place at St. Louis promises
to be an interesting gathering. Up
to the present time no one "promi-
nently mentioned" candidate has
anything like majority OF votes to
say nothing Of two thirds. 1t is the
uncertainty of what may happen that
makes it spicy and full of interest.
The Republican convention has
none Of this element, as the candidate
for president is already selected and
the selection Of vice president excite'

SIX years ago the section OF
Johnston known as the annexed dis
trict became part of the city of
Providence. Though the vote that
settled this change from town to
city was not by any means unani-
nous, the verdict was very generally
accepted with good grace and the
annex population can now be con-
sidered as very satisfied class oi
citizens. Much has been done in
this section during the past six year,
in the way of improvements. A
new fire station has been built and
the old one improved. A new eight
room primary schoolhouse has been
built on Rye street and new

SENATOR SPooNER OF Wiscont

SENATOR SPooNER OF Wisconsin
is becoming unpopular in his state
on account of his leanings toward
corporations and trusts. The Wis
consin idea seems that real solid
corporation statesman can not be a
good man for the interests Of the
people. The reasoning is, we
think, correct. 1t is as impossible
to serve the people and the trusts as
il is to serve God and mammon. II
senators were elected by the people
as they should be, instead Of by in
direct and nearly irresponsible legis-
latures, their ideas of right and duty
might be different.

been resident of the city a year. as
required by statute, and it was known
months ago by nearly every body, ut
the members of the board that he
could not legally hold the Office be-
cause he had not lived here long
enough.
Mayor Yeiser has had his atten-
tion called to the state law on the
subject, and while the city ordinance
does not prescribe any stipulated
length Of residence, the state law re-
quires all city officers to have lived in
the city for year or more.
II is understood DIR. CARRIER has re-
sided here eleven months. and will
try to have the boards wait another
month, when he will have lived here
