PoReiEs REAPPEAR.

Porgies are again found off the
Maine coast. The first fare landed
ain Portland in many years was
brought in recently. There were only
twenty-four barrels, but the fact that
they were porgies was Of enough sig
nifcance in itself. These fish have
been SO art in Maine waters that no.
body seemed to know just when the
last ones were brought in.
Years ago was about the only re-
ply the older fish dealers could give.
There was a time when the porgies
were SO plentiful that hundreds of
barrels could be taken in a few hours.
Then they dropped off and the bust
ness of extracting porgie's oil fell
off to almost nothing in these parts.
Their appearance seems to be gen.
eral along the whole New England
coast. Up off Gloucester the fish are
80 plentiful that there is a fleet of
Is steamers engaged in catching
them. They are, rather, trying to
catch them, for the porgies are wild
and have no inclination to be taken
in the nets.-Lewiston Journal.

EDITOR WAS AFTER MONEY
Thought He Saw More In Sight Than
Could Be Made Through tho
Profits Of An Ad.

While in a small town in Indiana
a few years ago Booth Harrington
had the misfortune to lose two val
liable bird dogs. Thinking to ex-
pedite their return, he went at once
to the Office of the one newspaper in
the town, where upon his inquiring
for the editor he was informed by
the sleepy, tousle-headed office boy
that the editor was out. He then left
with the boy a description of his pets
with an alluring offer of $50 for
their return, and after giving ex-
plicit instructions as to the position
he wished the "ad." to occupy, he de-
parted.
Anxious to know whether the Office
boy had impressed the editor with
the seriousness of the matter, he re-
turned to the office a few hours later
and was again greeted by the boy,
who, the only occupant of the room,
was perched on a stove dreamily
gazing out the window.
where's the editor? p asked Tark-
ington.
The boy leaned over and spat out
the window, then slowly turned to
the author.
~He's gone out tub hunt de dogs"
he said.-Cosmopolitan.

WHY PLANT STREET TREES


There are at least four good rea-
IONS why we should plant street
trees: First, for ornament; second.
for health; third, for comfort: fourth.
for protection.
1. characterization. That street or
namentation pays In many ways no
one will deny, but 1t pays directly In
dollars and cents. Beautifying q neigh.
borhood Is not a mere fad. 1t costs
but little more to make 1t attractive
than to leave It or make it unsightly.
and q well-kept, well-planted district
will not only attract. but command
residents desirable In every way. 1t
Is not mere sentiment that prompts
the railroads to advertise the attrac-
tons along their lines. Beauty to
them represents cash, and each year
they spend immense sums calling at
tention to the attractions Of the sec
tons through which they pass. II
people choose a line of travel be-
cause Of its natural and acquired
beauties, how much more eagerly
will they seek such a place for a res
idencs; TRat both ere eagerly sought
for Is u~ndisputed. Landscape beauty
is capital. Again. not one Of us would
be satisfied to spend his life in q des-
ert, though surrounded with the ne
tessities Of life in plenty. Our ma
lures crave better and more beautiful
surroundings. and we oftimes travel
far seeking the most beautiful loca-
ton obtainable.
2. Health. Trees add greatly to the
healthfulness Of m district by cool
ing and purifying the air. the foliage
evaporates large quantities of water
and the reduction Of temperature in
this way is greatest during the hot
test and dryest weather. The foliage
also absorbs impure and therefore
harmful gases. Trees also promote
circulation of air (due principally to
unequal temperature.)
3. Comfort. Trees add materially
to comfort either In city or country,
not alone to shade the passer-by.
and the idler who rests beneath their

with perpetual sunshine. they soften
the glare and heat Of the sun on side
walks.
4. Protection. Every one will read
lily concede that street trees afford
protection from both wind and sun,
but as q protection against fire they
are not 20 well known. The chief of
the San Francisco fire department
writes that shade trees on sidewalks
are beneficial in checking the spread
of fire. First. they are good as wind
breaks. keeping sparks and cinders
from nearby buildings. Second. they
shield the houses. preventing them
from catching fire from the heat. He
tells of a fire where a single large
tree prevented the destruction of a
three-story fiat adjoining. In this
case there vas considerable delay In
getting water. SO that the fire gained
great Roadway.

WHENCE We GET
OUR SPANIARDS

I. consul Richard l.. Sprague gives an
account of the trade of Gibraltar
where the Spanish emigrants for Ha,
wall embark, in part as follows:
Gibraltar, being a garrison and
naval center, at the entrance to the
Mediterranean, has no factories or in
dustries of any description, and the
laboring classes depend for their liv-
ing entirely on government works,
coaling the steamers, tobacco chop
ping, and a few other minor occupa-
lions, There was great falling off
in trade during 1910, and the depres-
sion caused distress among the civil
population. The withdrawal of the
Atlantic fleet from this naval base and
the reduction of the garrison also
caused dull times among the mer.
chants and contractors.
The exodus of Spaniards, particu-
larly from southern Spain to Buenos
Ayres, continued in 1910, and the
steady demand for passage to South
American ports caused the Italian
steamship companies to increase the
number of their sailings. Gibraltar is
convenient sailing point for Spanish
emigrants. During the year 1916 pas
sengers embarked for Buenos Ayres
and 54S for Brazil. The following for
eign steamship companies make Glib.
raltar a port of call; Austro-Ameri-
cana, Cunard, Hamburg American,
North German Lloyd and White Star.
American Goods in Demand.
American products continued to be
in demand, and shipments of -four,
lard, tobacco and canned goods were
received regularly from New York and
Boston. Imports of American cotton
seed oil amounted to $50 barrels in
1910, a decrease of 762 barrels from
the previous year, which Is attributed
to the heavy importations in the lat
ter part of 1909.
As compared with the previous year
The importation of all classes of to-
oacco fell off nearly 400 tons in 1910 |
The imports from the United States
decreased $50 cases. The bulk of the
