A timber expert makes the interest* ing statement that the spruce lands ol Maine are to-day worth more thai were the pine lands of fifty years ago, mainly because of the development ol the pulp business.

There are nearly 9,500,000 aore of wild land in Maine, ana aturamiu that only a quarter of this is cover? f. with merchantable growth, the toti valuation would be something lik 947,000,000. Some idea of the in jnense extent of wild lands in Mair may be gained from the statement thi they wonld make a State twioo as larg as Massachusetts, twice as large as Ne r' Hampshire and Vermont combine and thirteen times as large as Rho< fe' .

The Q0, members of it were conducted to their seats as they entered. As the Queen's procession, which in- 2(j eluded the Dutchess of Teck and the |Z Grand Duke of Hesse, walked up the aisle, Sir Arthur Sullivan's "Imperial March" was played. A march composed in "G," composed by Smart, was played during tho progress of the bridegroom's procession to communion, and as the bride and her supporters passed up the aisle to the altar the organist played ^ Wagner's march from "Lohengrin." The Archbishop of Canterbury, assistI ed by the other clergy, performed the , ceremony, the bride being given away by ' her father. , n I ? v I Latest in North Carolina. ? , The Wilmington and Weldon Railroad j ? baa decided not to pay its regular July t 4 dividend because of having to pay heavy , ' - A* Qi.i. g back taxes to tue oimo. t d Trains are expccUd to run between | j Wilmington and Newborn on the Wild mington, Newborn A Norfolk Railroad x.

This is scientifically known as totranychus tolarius. It is a tiuo mite U which lives on the under surface of the leaf covered by a white silken web. It pi inserts its beak into the veins of the leaf hi and sucks out the sap, causing the leaf w' to turn red or brown in spots, producing it whafcis often called "rust."

It is made by boiling tobacco sttms or powder in water for W1 half an hour at the rate of one pound of ea tobacco to three gallons water. It will Pr be mora powerful if sulphur is used in 1,1 connection.
