From report received by City
Marshal Donovan Wednesday from En-
gineer Adell OF the Augusta and South
Gardiner Accommodation train, it
would seem that the green dory be-
longing to Capt. Abner Nichols of this
city and which was reported missing
Tuesday. was an aimless wanderer on
the broad bosom of the Kennebec. En-
gineer Adell reported that he saw the
dory Saturday. adrift on the river near
the Rich fee houses, and remarked the
fact to his fireman. He had not seen
the craft since that time. 1t is. prob
able that she has been picked up be-
fore this time, and as all
who find an abiding place along the
banks OF the river are honest folk,
1t is likely that she will sooner or lat
er be restored to her owner ~aH

Mysterio,s Source Of
Rishes.


had been discovered on the side of
Whitney's mouqhin the RUSH of for
tune seekers void not have been
greater tnan-it hes been to Saisaparilla
gully during the last few Weeks, ow-
ing to the finding OF ginseng In great
quantities in the gravelly SOL on the
gully banks, says a recent Newburg
(Me.) report. A
The pioneer Ill the bustnefs is John
M. Thurlough, II student at the Uni
versity of MaiTk law schoo in Ban
gor. Last yea4 it was noiced that
he joined in nIone of the Saturday
games played lily the studets.
The reason TIhurlough aligned for
absenting himsf II every S$urday was
that he wanted to go to Is home in
Fairfield and ass the bbath with
his parents, tho ugh it wa9oticed that
he never left lis board11 place on
rainy Saturday. . FurtheISesearch de-
veloped the faI 1t that h1was buying
expensive sets Of law boz and filling
his room with costly FIXTURE.
Finally. VIII! n he botht a $500
piano and had it installer in his room,
the gossips le armed theecret of his
sudden access to richeAnd most of
the country Pad some ng to talk
about for a We ar to COM The expla-
nation made by young Though was
very simple.
He had an lunt nvingIin Newburg,
and one day Ehen he WIS calling on
her the famil, went to ~Safsaparilla gull
ley 10 dig rOlts for theI usual spring
bitters. The fame of The roots of
Sarsaparilla allley had gone through
the county Vars before.
By sprout IL whole dorm and then
drying it, all grinding the grain and
mixing it with rsaparilla root and
spruce brush and dheckerberry leaves
and sugar, AID then adding yeast and
letting the cSmpound ferment, the resi-
dents were lble to reach a condition
of absolute health.
AS young Thurlough helped to dig
the health-gving roots he noticed they
were bigger and more pulpy than or
binary saraparilla. and with a view
+ OF identifying the species to- which" the
plants beloaged, he took samples to
Prof. MunSn at Orono, who at once
decided thf were ginseng roots. Sub
sequent proceedings were easy.
Having good working knowledge
of the law young Thurlough bonded
the land Ting on either side of the
gully, and pent all of his spare time dig
ging and preparing the ginseng root
for whichjthere vas a quick sale al
$3.50 a pound. I.y remaining silent

VANILLA CULTURE IN HAWAII
An Experiment to Be Made That
May Mean Much to the
i. Islands.

The vanilla plant is grown in Bour.
bon on the east coast of Africa, in the
Seychelles islands, Tahita, Fiji and
Mexico. The Mexican vanilla bean is
the best and the Tahitian the poorest
product, the former fetching from four
to twenty dollars a pound, while the
latter does not bring more than half
a dollar a pound in the market, a y
the World Today.
E. H. Edwards, a planter of long
experience in the Seychelles islands,
while on a trip to Hawaii, was i'm.
pressed with the suitability of the re.
gion near Kona to the culture of va.
nilla, and determined to introduce the
plant. Going to the Fiji islands he
brought back about 1000 cuttings, but
one-fourth of these died on the way
to Hawaii, from being placed in the
hold instead of on the deck of the
steamer. Though the cost of labor in
the Hawaiian islands is high, as com.
pared with that in other countries
in which vanilla is produced, the bean
a be marketed at about $3.50 per
pound. AS vanilla Of the quality
grown in Kona fetches five dollars a
pound on an average and an acre
yields from $50 to 300 pounds the
crop is highly profitable.

The little brown men of Manila,
1900 to 1000 strong, for the last two
and a half years have been erecting
a power house and car barns, and in
stalling a complete system for cleo,
trio railway and light, and have Incl.
,dentally demonstrated that the Fill
ipino can be educated into a skilled
laborer. They received from so to
rs cents a day, almost twice their
wages under Spanish rule, and with
the increase in wages they felt that
two or three days of consecutive labor
was ample. By being allowed to OBJ.
serve innumerable feast days, and to
take a siesta during the intensely hot
midday, they were found more willing
to work. The cars are built of teak,
the only wood which experiments
proved to be antproof. Teak is dense
and hard, needs no chemical treat
ment, and has such a beautiful APP
p~earance that the natural color was
used mainly for the finish. Owing to
he frequent hurricanes experienced,
cautions were taken to insure the
fort of passengers during the driv.
Einds and rain.

Dieests What You Eat
o o IN INDIAN ARROW
Thought by Ethnologists to Fave
Been Made for Blood to
Run Through.

In making the Indian arrow, three
small u%ndulating grooves are cut on
the shaft, running down to the head
from the lower end of the feathers.
This, says the Southern Workman, has
attracted the attention of some of the
ethnologists, who gave the matter con-
siderable study and wisely concluded
that the little lines were made for the
blood to run through, or that they rep
resented lightning. An old Omaha,
who-Aad the reputation of being very
skillful in cutting the grooves in arrow
shafts, was called by the chief to do
that work for him on some arrows he
was making. The csicf himself was a
fine arrow-maker, but he recognized the
skill of the old man in this particular
line. While the work was in progress,
the chiefs son, who had reached the
inquisitfve age, and was looking on
with wide-eyed interest, suddenly
asked: Venerable man, why are you
making those crooked lines?" The
chief gave a hearty laugh and said:
Father. tell him. for he will be MAX
Ing arrows himself some day, and he
should know" Every sapling." an.
swered the old man, "out of which the
arrow is made has some defect, how
ever faultless it may appear to be. The
good arrow-maker takes a great deal
of pains to smooth out and straighten
the imperfections by oiling and heat
ing. But the wood, in time will spring
back, because of it's inherent defects,
unless these grooves are cut in the
shaft soon after seasoning and
Strengthening"

AT ALL uNHEALrHFuL.
Is What Gen. Wood Says Of the Gil
mate Of the Philippine
Islands.


"In my opinion" said Maj. Gen
Leonard Wood, in a recent report to
The war department, there is 40 sub.
BON which more nonsense has
Written than that Of the bad eff
of the Philippine climate upon
ealth Of officers and men,"
terring to recent operations
nst the Moros, he says:
he health of the troops in the field
been excellent. Most of the field
Dirk during the past year has been
one during the rainy season in the
tottabato valley and the great morass
bout Lakes Liguasan and Buluan.
Despite mud, water. tropical sun and a
fe of the greatest exposure and
ltigue, troops have had little sick.
J, a result which can be largely &c.
United for by the general observance
the orders directing that all drink.
3 water be boiled and that all men
e mosquito bars into the field, and
further. fact that the climate is far
"a unfavorable for field service.
This freedom from sickness in a
dntry popularity supposed to be deadly
a its rainy season is simply another
ILLUSTRATION of the erroneous character
lof u early ideas as to the effect OF
the Philippine climate on the white
man. There has been far more fiel6
service in this department during the
past two years than in all the rest OF
the Philippines, and probably more
than in the balance of the army, yet
sickness in the field is a factor which
can be almost disregarded when the
precautions mentioned above are car.
ried out. There is no reason, so far
as climate is concerned, why, If neces.
lsary, our troops should not be main
tanned here for considerably longer
period than at present.
These opinions are based upon six
years iof tropical service, two of them
in these islands. Children do as well
here as in the hotter portions of the
southern states. Plenty of exercise in
the open air, a moral life, with avoid
ance of dissipation, will insure as good
average health here as elsewhere. The
persistent reports concerning the dead
ly effect of the Philippine climate, the
accounting for lax morals, dishonesty
and the results of excuses az effects
of the Philippine climate are most mis-
leading and work great injury to the
development of these most valuable
islands. A few men break down here
but man for -HaaH,--gaffisen- fef-garri'
son, the troops of this most southern
department will. in all which pertains
to health and physical conditions, com
pare favorably with any troops 1 have
seen in the southern portion of the
United States. The Philippine climate
can be encountered by all in average
condition without anxiety, provided 8
moral life is led, with plenty. of exer
else in the open air. Sunstroke il
practically unknown and heat prostra.
ton rare, except in dense, high grass
where%ai is not moving and the full
: rays .o$-the SIZE haze raised the TEN.
perature to q high point.
THE construction of normanent
posts. with good barracks and quar-.
tiers, is rapidly putting service in the
philippines upon a footing which will
compare favordbly, so far as comfort
is concerned, with service in the warm
sections of our own country"
