RockpOrt Lime kilns burned.

RoCKPoRT, Me-, Dec. 25. The furious
ringing of the alarm bell early this morn
ing summoned the department to fight
another lime fire en- the harhor front.
Four kilns were burned and with them
large shed in which was stored 1900 bar
rels of lime and about 1000 empty casks.
The loss is about $4,000, and is nearly
covered by insurance. The only explana
ton as to the origin of the fire is that hot
lime ashes mayhave been dumped too close
to the lime casks. The property is own
ed by the Rockland & Rockport Lime
Company, and there are rumors that it
may not be rebuilt because of the OPPOSE
ton of summer residents to kiln smoke.

PARENT-TEACHER COOPERATION.

Among the present day educational
the Improvement of the schools is that
which aims to bring together citizens and
teachers in an investigat on of the needs
of the schools and in cooperative efforts
to meet them. Parent teacher associa-
tons. which IN various c ties Of the coun-
try have done much to arouse among the
people an intelligent and sympathetic
interest in school work, are now being
organized III a number Of the cities of
Maine TIL .se associat ions devote them
selves to practical work; they inVesti-
gate sanitary conditions of school build
ings and try to find ways of removing de-
fects when they are found. They assist
in promoting the physical welfare OF
children by bringing about medical in
spection and home cooperation. They
undertake to secure enforcement of anti
cigarette laws and other ordinances
which aim to protect children.
An important part of the work of
live parent-teacher association is to keep
the public informed of educational prog
ress both within and without the COM
munity,
A pioneer parent-teacher association
of Maine is that organized at Calais by
the teach ers and citizens of that city. A
description of it's work has been written
by Mrs. W. A. Murchie, member of
the Association. This has been publish
ed by the State department of education
to assist others who contemplate the or
ganization of similar associations.

MOUNT SARGENT.
Mount Desert.

MOUNT SARGENT.
Mount Desert.
Day of delight o glorious sight!
Shall we forget that day!
We climbed to Sargents loftlest helgnt,
From Soames lovely bay.
Earth, sea and sky, transfused with light,
Did one enchantment hold;
The eve came on, divinely bright
The sea a sea of gold!
The breezy summit we explored
Twas good to rest and stay,
And look Ger Eagle Lake, and toward
The nook where Soamesville lay.
This. like that Pisgah Moses knew,
Revealed on every hand,
Unto the pilgrims raptured view,
A glorious Promised Land.
No need for heavenly guests, in sooth,
Or heavenly splendors rare,
To make us look for endless youth
And endless pleasure, there.
But, with the eve, must we descend
That sweetest hour of day;
y vale magnificent we Wend
Upon our homeward way.
On either hand mountain towers:
Here, bright is Sargent seem
There, Mansell rests his foot in flowers,
While we pass down between.
Skipping from rock to rock again
Thro the wild gorge we go;
The sunset, like golden ram,
Makes all the place to glow.
Patches it foods or tlecks with light,
The leafy boughs between,
And OH how beautifully bright
CLOVIS now the valley green
The birds in concert wild engage
To sing their vesper song;
How, filled with sweet melodious rage,
Their chorus they prolong,
There, hall way down, our rapt eyes seek
The summit we had trod
With sunset glowed the rocky peak,
AS with the smile of God.
How lovely, twiIight's peace profound
On Soames Sound was seen!
A Sabbath stiffness breathing rornd,
Seemed ike our hearts serere.
The mirror-waves long crimson bars
Of smouldering sunset hold
The splendor that foreruns the stars,
The purple and the gold.
Dog Mountain and Mount Mansell fling
Their shadows vast and wide,
Unrutfied by one ripply ring
Upon the pulseless cde.
Out of their umbra. here and there,
A spectral sail appears;
Some cottage light, reflected fair,
Our late returning cheers.
On glides our boat, the oars impell,
The canvas hanging slack.
Stars lengthening lines, where ripples swell
Upon our homeward track.

State Tax Probably 81.

Although the local officials have
not yet been apprised officially of the
amount of the state tax which Una
tilla county will have to contribute.
q statement in Portland paper plac-
es the amount at $4,000 which is
$4,000 less than anticipated. Instead
therefore, of levying 4.6 mill state
tax. the county court will likely be
called upon to levy one Of only 81
mills. No tax levy will be made to-
day by the county court inasmuch as
taxpayers have until this evening to
present a formal protest of any item
on the budget. Granting that the 7
mill state tax is correct, the total
county and state tax will be approx
imately 10 mills and the total tax here
in the city about 25 mills which Is
about two and a half mills more
than last year. The 81 state tax
is Just 25 mills more than last year
and this accounts for the increase In
the total state-county- -city-school tax.
