Where Lime Juice Comes From.

Nearly all the limejuice used in the
world comes from the tiny island of
Montserrat, in the British West In
dies. The lime grows wild in many
West Indian islands, but only in
Montserrat is it used commercially.
That island is one vast garden of
lime trees, and nowhere in the world
is there a finer sight than its thirty
miles of orchards laden with the
fruit of the lime or fragrant with it's
blossoms.
The fruit is gathered by negro wo-
men, who carry it down the hills to
the shipping port in big baskets on
their heads. Like all West Indians,
they are remarkable for their ability
to carry heavy weights in this man
ner Once the company which con-
trolls the limejuice industry sought to
tighten the burden of its laborers by
introducing wheelbarrows. The ne
groes filled the wheelbarrows readily
enough, and then carried them on
their heads as they had been used TO
carry the baskets. Many negro wo-
man will carry hundredweight of
lines on her head for a distance of
mile or more

A BIG SHIP IN THOSE DAYS.
Quaint Description of Launching Of
the First PENNSYLVANIA,

the First Pennsylvania.
The Philadelphia Press reproduces
from Youths Friend, u Sunday School
book of the thirties, this description
of the launching of the first warship
bearing the name Pennsylvania"
On the 18th of July, 1897, not less
than hundred thousand persons
were collected at the river Delaware,
near Philadelphia, to see ship
launched. 1t was the largest vessel
that had ever been built in the United
States, and perhaps there never was
more than one so large built in the
world. 1t was fifteen years from the
time 1t was begun until 1t was launch
ed 1t measured nearly two hundred
and fifty feet in its greatest length.
If twenty-one such ships were to line
in a line, the length of the whole
would be a mile. 1t is flfty-four feet
high, and one of the three masts
none of which were in the vessel at
the time of launching), is two hun
dred and elghty-three feet high. One
of the anchors weighs nearly twelve
thousand tons. When such an enor-
nous vessel as this was to be moved
from the land into the water, it is no
wonder that every one wished to see
the sight.
The ships name is Pennsylvania. 1t
was built at the edge of the river, un-
der IN immense frame house, or rath
er shed, for it had no rooms in it.
When the time for launching came,
the end of the shed towards the riv-
er was taken away, and great tim
berS placed under and about the ves-
sci to guide it into the river, The
Delaware is a mile in width ut that
place, and vessels of all sizes and
kinds, and filled with people covered
1t to a great distance. Ships and
schOonerS, steamboats, and wherries,
with their flags flying, and their decks
and masts crowded, were arranged in
view of the great ship. The wharfs,
houses, and shores, as far as the eye
could reach. were filled with people,
many of whom stood for several hours
waiting for the launch. At the ap-
pointed time two cannons were fired
to give notice that the ship would
soon he launched. Several hundred
men were employed in knocking away
the beams that kept it in its place on
shore; and in a few minutes the great
ship, with number of persons on
board, glided out of the shed into the
river 1t was splendid sight, ana the
crowds shouted as the Pennsylvania
moved like a swan among the other
vessels, the largest of which appeared
like boats in comparison. You see
representation of the scene in the pie
ture. The ship has just entered the
river, and the people are waving their
hats and rejoicing all around.
The Pennsylvania is a vessel of
war, and can carry one hundred and
will never be used for this purpose;
but that when the nations know how
we'll prepared our country is to resist
an enemy they will be disposed to
keep at peace. And we should still
more earnestly desire that the time
may soon come when all nations will
be peaceful, not because they are
afraid of each other. but because they
love each other as all mlnkind ought
to do

Operating His Thread Mills.
Thrift is generally acknowledged TO
be one of the leading characteristics of
the native of Fifeshirc, and it never
was more forcibly eXcmplidcd than in
the person of David Hutton, u native
of Dunfermlinc, who actually proved
that even mice, those acknowledged
pests of mankind, could be made not
only to earn their own living, but also
to yield a respectable income TO their
owners.
About the year 1920 this gentleman
actually erected a small mill at Dun
fermline for the manufacture Of thread
"A mill worked entirely by mice 1t
was while visiting Perth prison in
1912 that Mr.. Hutton first conceived
this remarkable idea of utilizing moyse

time, "The Curiosity Coffee Room" he
gave an account of the way in which
the idea dawned on him. I'm the sum

INDEPENDENTS
 BABY CONTEST.

Here is the proposition and the rules governing the contest:
 There is a handsome $25. 5.00 solid gold locket with diamond ! setting and solid gold chain, on l display at the Palace Jewelry | store, to be given away Decem- Der 24th, 1904, to the baby boy or girl under two years of age, who wins the highest number of votes as the prettiest and sweet est baby. Now the baby that is not pretty is surely sweet, and if the wee tot be a little cross at times, beauty must offset this badness. Fond parents at least are expected to think their ba- bies are both sweet and beauti- full, and so they do. But to set tie once for'all the claims of the under two, and put at rest this rivalry of mothers and fathers, the Independent has inaugurated a contest that is to be determined by that cherished right, popular ballot, and in accordance with the following rules: @
 BABY PRIZE CONTEST RULES.
 First-No baby that has reach ed the age of two years Nov. 1, 1904, is eligible to this contest, nor shall any employe or party connected with this paper be eli gible to vote.
 Second-Every issue of the Daily and Weekly Independent from November 1 to December "A, will contain a ballot entitling the holder to one vote in this contest. For every dollars worth of job, work, advertising and subscription paid for between these dates coupon good for ten votes will be issued, but no cou- pons will be issued for sums less than $1.00. Coupons will not be sold, and will only be issued for job, ad and subscription busi- ness, but extra copies of the h. dependent at 2 cents per copy, each containing one ballot, will be sold at this office.
 Third All votes must be sent to this office and will be de- posted in a lock box, to be opened at 8 o'clock each publication day and counted. The daily issue of that afternoon will contain the total of the several candidates and the public will thus be kept informed of the voting each day.
 Fourth A committee of three good business men will be select ed to canvass the ballots the morning of Dec. "A and announce the winner. All ballots must be deposited at this office by II a. m., Dec. "A, 1904.
 Read the rules carefully.
