PeriIs Of Log Handling.

The Journals Gossiper, on Friday,
found in the Office of well-known
Augusta legal ornament, whose win
dows face the Kennebec, the jovial
attorney sneezing at one of the Win
dows, open for a better view of the
pile of logs on the east side in the

glass.

Gossiper, and see those logs tumble

The huge pile of logs was 80 or ~
feet in height. Two men were rolling
in logs from the west end of the pile
into the river. Over them lowered
the rest of the logs apparently ready
to come down like an avalanche. The
Gossiper waited but the lumbermen
knew their business and finally
brought down the avalanche without
any accident-greatly to the lawyers
pretended disappointment!

him with the question, We'll, and

AsIcams Down From Lebanon.

AS came down from Lebanon,
Came winding, wandering Slowly Gown
Through mountain passes bleak and
brown, -
The cloudless day was well-nigh DONE
The city, like an opal set.
In emerald showed each minaret
Afire with radiant beams OF sun,
And glistened orange, tlg and lime.
Where song-birds made melodious chime
AS | came down from Lebanon.
As I came down from Lebanon,
Like lava in the dying glow,
Through olive orchards far below
l saw the murmuring river run;
And meath the wall upon the sand
Swart sheiks from distant Samarcahd'
with precious spices they had won,
Lay long and languidly in wait
Till they might pass the guarded gate,
AS l came down from Lebanon
AS I came down from Lebanon,
/ saw strange men from lands afar,
In mosque and square and gay bazaar,
The Magi that the Moslem shun,
And grave Effendi from Stambeul,
Who sherbet slipped in corners cool;
And, from the balconies o'errun
With roses, cleaned the eyes of those
Who dwell in still seraglios,
AS l came down from Lebanon.
As | came down from Lebanon
The flaming flower of daytime died,
And Night, arrayed as is a bride
or some great king, in garments spun
OF purple and the finest gold,
Outbloomed in glories manifold,
Until the moon, above the dun
And darkening desert, void of shade,
Shone like a keen Damascus blade
AS l came down from Lebanon,

SERVANTS OF ROYALTY.
In ENGLAND They Are Supplied by

Even royal palaces have their servant
problems. The general opinion seems
to be that the servants who attend upon
kings and queens are of race apart

f. S. Forest, the well-known Riv-
erside broom-maks, called at the Of
flee, Friday, to tell the editor his ex-
perience of three weeks ago at Sheep
scot He was invited there for dim
ner of oysters picked in Maine. He
made the journey of 90 miles by auto
mobile, and proclaims the dinner the
equal of any he ever tasted. He was
informed that the oysters We're found
at the bridge from Alma to New Cas-
tile and that bushel and peck were
taken in an hour Mr.-+Forest be-
lieved this might be of interest in
view of the agitation toward making
oyster raising a Maine industry.
Commissioner OF Agriculture John
A. Roberts, at the Lewiston meeting,
thus commented upon the develop
ment of two of Names most impor-
tant lines of progress:
"As you are aware. the dairy interests
and the seed and plant interests stand
among the most important OF the various
lines of farm work in this state, ana
their continued growth and development
concern not alone their devoteeS but az
feet every other farm interest and every
city business and profession. Inc last
quarter of century has shown great
advance in dairy work. In the hands of
skilled men dairy animals have made
great progress in their capacity for pro-
duction. Dairymen have studied care
fully the science of economical feeding
and are realizing the necessity of keep
ing their stock under sanitary condi-
tons and of making and handling the
various products of the dairy under con-
ditions of the utmost cleanliness. In all
efforts at improvement, in the establish
ment of ever higher ideals, the Maine
Dairymen's Association has been a strong
and efficient leader. Its work and inffu-
ence were a great factor in securing an
appropriation to carry on breeding ex-
periments at Orono. The Seed Improve
ment Association is a much younger
body. While it has taken strong hold
of the situation, and has done good
work. it may be truly said that its best
work is ahead It's work has been seri-
ously handicapped by the unusual china
tic conditions during the last two sea-
sons. Its purpose is to induce farmers to
give more attention in the selection of
seed, to plant only those seeds that are
most vigorous and those strains that will
make the largest yield. Also we believe
that most Of our seed should be raised
in this State 800.
