Berries Of the Esautif1l ana Fra-
grant PiHento Tree.
The pimento, or allspice. tree is cul-
dvated in the West Indies and .Ialna.-
ca. This beautiful tree usual, grows
to a height of about thirty feet. tt
has straight trunk. much branchal
above and covered with a very sn.ooti,
brown bark The leaves vary in size
and shape, but are always Of Il DARK,
shining green color. During the months
Of July and August the tree is in full
bloom, the blossoms consisting of very
fragrant small white flowers.
When a new plantation of pi1. anto
trees is to be formed no regular. SOW
Ing or planting takes place, because Il
Is next to impossible to propagate tie
young plants OF to raise them from
seeds in parts of the country where
they are not found growing spontane
ously. Usually q piece OF land is Sc
lected either close to a plantation al
ready formed or In a part of the WOOL.
land where pimento trees are growing
in native state. The chosen piece of
land is then cleared of all wood eS-
cept these trees, and the felled ti:nber
Is allowed to remain on the ground for.
the purpose of protecting the very
young pimento plants.
At the end Of two years the land is
thoroughly cleared, and only the most
vigorous pimento trees and plants are
left standing. The plants come to ma
turity in about seven years.
In favorable seasons the pimento
crop is enormous, a single tree often
yielding a hundred or more pounds Of
the dried spice. The berries are picked
while green, because if left on the tree
until ripe they lose their pungent taste
and are Yalueless. The green berries
are exposed to the sun for a week or
ten days, when they lose their green
color and turn reddish brown When
perfectly dry they are put in bags and
casks for expectation. #
The odor and the taste Of the pimen-
to berries are thought to resemble a
combination Of those of cinnamon, nut
meg and cloves; hence the familiar
name sallspice''

Girl BABY'S
AWFUL ECZEMA
Sight Of Eye Destroyed by Disease
Tried Five Doctors but Grew
Worse ln6Agony Eight Months
Parents Discouraged, Until
They Tried Cuticura Remedies
in ONE WEEK ALL
SORES DIS "a PEARED

Our little girl, one year and half
old, was taken with eczema or that was
what the doctor said it was. We called
in the family doctor and he gave some
tablets and said she would be all right
in a few days. The eczema grew worse
and we called in doctor No. 2. He
said she was teething, as soon as the
teeth were through she would be all
right: But she still grew worse: Doc
tor No. 3 said it was eczema. By this
time she was nothing but a yellow,
greenish sore. Well, he said he could
help her, SO we let him try it about
week. One morning we discovered
little yellow pinple on one Of her
eyes. Of course we phoned for doctor
4 No. 8. He came over and looked her
over and said that he could not do any
thing more for her, that we had better
take her to some eye specialist, since it
was an ulcer. So we went to OsWego
to doctor No. 4, and he said the eye
We thought we would try doctor No. 5.
Well, that proved the same, only he
/ charged SO more than doctor No. A.
We were nearly discouraged. saw
one of the Cuticura advertisements in
the paper and thought we would try
the Cuticura Treatment, SO went and
purchased set of Cuticura Remedies,
which cost me 81, and in three days
our daughter, who had been sick about
eight months, showed great improve
ment, and in one week all sores had dis
appeared. Of course it could not re-
store the eyesight, but if we had used
Cuticura in time am confident that
it would have saved the eye. We think
there is no remedy SO good for any skin
trouble or impurity Of the blood as
Cuticura. Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Abbott,

The method is practiced today in the
Carriere factory at Bourg lac Rine,
near Paris The cords of which the
wick is composed pass into basin Of
melted wax heated by a small furnace,
from which they are drawn through
perforated plate to a large wooden
drum which is turned slowly by hand.
The operation is repeated two or three
times, the size of the hole through
which the cord passes being Increased
each time. When the waxed cord has
attained the required size it is wound
on large reels in skeins of 400 or 500.

lUNACY AND ALCOHOL.
Insanity Increasing Among British
beer Drinkers.

A movement is on foot in England
to induce the government to appoint Il
commission of inquiry into the subject
of lunacy. with especial reference to
the part played therein by the wide
spread use of alcoholic liquors. The
movement Is being pushed by tenn
perance and reform organizations, and
1t is quite likely that the scheme will
be success full.
The fifty-ninth annual report of the
commissioners of lunacy for England
and Wales. published last year. af-
fords an excellent basis for such d re-
quest upon the government. Comment
Ing on the Increase in lunacy among
the beer drinking peoples, the commits
sioners make the following cautious
comment:
1T should be borne in mind that such
intemperance Is frequently as much an
effect of brain weakness as cause
and the intermingling of these renders
1t impossible to arrive at precise con
illusions. In any case, 1t cannot be de
MED that alcohol is a brain poison, and
1t is therefore incumbent to show what
part 1t plays in insanity"
The most significant item of this
comment Is the declaration that alcohol
Is "brain poison" and the govern
ment is thus confessedly in the position
of licensing the business of poisoning
the peoples brains.-New Voice.

ENROLMENT OF 65,e24.
Figures from $50 of eco Protest
ant Vermont Sunday Schools.

Reports completed up to July last
and received by the State Sunday School
association from 500 of the $50 Protest
ant Sunday schools in Vermont show
that there is a total enrolment in the
schools of So, 1924. which is a little over
81 per cent of the approximate Pro-
testant population of the State and a
gain of four per cent. over the total en-
rollment last year.
Reports were received from 20 more
schools this year than last. These, with
% of last years reports show that there
are 3.012 officers connected with the
schools, 4, l21 teachers aud 40, 25l scholars
an attendance membership of 1884
which is a gain of 1895 over last year.
The total membership of the cradle roll
is 3,6SS, gain of lisp. The home de-
partment work, which four years age
had about 900 members, now has over
5000. These totals, with the total at
tendance, gives the enrolment as S.
ga.
The number of children in schools be-
tween five and 1S years of age is 1924
gain of 2,077. The only loss shown in
the reports is in the number of men be
tween IS and A enrolled, which is a loss
of 1858, which is accounted for because
many of the schools did not report this
feature.

INEBRlETY A DISEASE.
All Drunknrds Exhibit Marked Symp-
toms of Insanity.

toms of INSANITY.
DR.. II. u. Crothers superintendent of
the Walnut Lodge hospital. Hartford,
Conn. and editor of the Quarterly
Journal of Inebriety. in an address at
Toronto, Aug n. before the British
Medical association. made Il powerful
appeal to the medical men to join in
Il great movement to teach the public
the scientific facts regarding alcohol
In this address he said:
Exact studies show that fully 100,-
900 persons die annually from alcohol
and drugs. and up to this time the
principal remedies offered are the
prayer, the pledge, the fine and impris
onment, of which the latter actually In
creases and intensifies the condition.
THE insanity of inebriety is med

the insane, developed by our civlliza-
tlce for medical men in every commu-
nifty Of the country.
1T is our duty to lift it out Of the
realm of credulity and quackery and
bring it into the field of exact science.

Gates a definite disease, with distinct
causes, progress and termination the

while drinking Is an entirely different

Another form Of insanity is seen in
the constant drinker, who daily drinks

An Innovation

1t seems fitting that the new plan of
reserving seats at Keith's Theatre, Bos-
ton, will go into effect on next Monday.
March 4tb, Inauguration Day" In
making this change it should not be
thought that the prices are to be raised.
for on the contrary the prices of many
of the seats will be less than before,
notably the first rows in the balcony,
which will be sold for so cents instead
of 81. 90, while the rows in the orchestra
for which so has been the price when
sold reserved. will now be rs cents for
the afternoons, excepting Saturdays and
holidays, and Sl00 for all evenings, in
Guiding Saturdays and holidays.
All seats in the orchestra and first
balcony will be reserved, tickets sold for
the afternoons being good up to 6 p. M,
while those purcha'ed for the evenings
will entite the holder to the seat called
for by the coupon after $50 p. m.
Seats can be secured one week in adj
vance.
Another innovation will be the open
ing of subscription lists whereby patrons
can secure the same seats each week,
with the exception of Saturdays and
holidays.
The new plan will in no way interfere
with the continuous performance, for
the doors will be open at 80 and the
show will run until 1890, as usual. The
prices of admission will remain as be
FORE Orchestra, 30 cents; first balcony,
35 cents and second balcony 90 cents
There will be reserved seats at both OF
the first mentioned prices, but none al
25 cents. as the seats in the second bal
cony will not be reserved.

State Printing Job Goes to New

The revision commission on Saturday
awarded the contract for printing the
public statutes to the Rumford Printing
company of Concord, N. H., the lowest
bidder. The bid of this concern was ST.
663. SO, the State to furnish the paper.
The commission has let the contract for
the paper to the Storrs & Bement Co., of
Boston. The commissioners last week
visited the Rumford printing plant and
in their opinion it is equipped for doing
the job in good shape. The next lowest
bidder was the Opinion Publishing COM
pany of Bradford. The bid of this con-
Germ was about 81 900 more than that of
the Rumford company.

"IT lakes TINE"

The st. Adams Messenger calls at
tention to the fact that ex-Gov. Ed
ward C. Smith, while Governor in 1898,
made recommendation which was EN-
acted into law at the last session of
Legislature. We quote from the Mes
senger;
'In 1898, Gov. Edward G. Smith adj
vocated the reconstruction of the state
auditing system, the remodeling of its
methods of accounting and a general
shake.up in the state auditors office.
Eight years later, Gov. Fletcher d. Proc
tor is employed by law to appoint a
commission to do a part of this work.
1t takes time for good idea to take root
and bear fruit
The study of the growth of new ideas
is an interesting one and the smile OF
the Messenger of the seed taking root
and later on bearing fruit is good
one.
Both Gov. Smith and Gov. Fletcher
D. Proctor were members of the Leg
islature of 1890. If we remember cor
rectly, neither of them agreed fully with
The recommendations of Governor Page,
but it seems quite apparent that Gov.
Pages recommendations at that session
took root" and while only part of
them came to fruition during his term
of office, they furnished substantially
the entire groundwork of large ma
jority of the most important laws passed
by the Legislature of 1906.
By referring to Governor Pages in
avgural message, it will be found that
he made the following seven distinct and
specific recommendations
1st-The Australian Ballot.
Restriction of child labor.
3rd-A REIMBURSEMENT of the burdens
for the support of schools.
4th-The granting of additional pow
ers to the railroad commission.
5th-The abolition of railroad passes.
6th-Weekly payments.
7th-An increase in the amount OF
taxes to be paid by railroads.
With the exception of the first, which
these measures were enacted into sta
tutes in 1906. THE mills of the gods
grind slow, but they grind exceeding
small" The leaven of 1897 has
worked slowly and under adverse con
ditions, but an educated public senti
ment has finally forced the adoption Of
practically the entire list of Gov. Page''
recommendations.
Verify, Brer. Greene hits the nail or
the head when he says 1T takes time
for a good idea to take root and beal
fruit" and he might have added that
other proverb, Nothing is ever settled
until it is settled right. "-Morrisvillt

JUVENILE ORANGES.
May Be Successful Under Good Man
agement.

There are doubtless two opinions as
to the practical value of juvenile
oranges. says an exchange, and not all
have been successful that have been
organized Success depends very
largely on the person who is appoint
ed to have charge of the juveniles.
Not only must they be started right
but they must be kept right under the
wise direction of Il faithful matron.
There Is no reason why they should
fail This Is true of the Juvenile work.
1t does fit the young people for intelli-
gent and helpful membership in the
subordinate grange, it gives them
something to do which will broaden
their interests. it trains them in the
conduct of public meetings and in par
liamentary usage, and socially 1t may
be made instructive as well as enjoy
able. Times and places for meetings,
whether at the same time as the sub
ordinate grange in an adjoining room
or at some other place and time. are
matters that give considerable trouble.
If such problems can be satisfactorily
solved, one serious objection to the
young peoples organization is over
come. At any rate, the subject Is
worthy of careful consideration.
