) V THE COCOANUT TREE. It Furnishes Food, Shelter and Employment to Thousands. mim Interesting Farts Concerning: the Rearing of the Plant on llnt ttons Ite Principal Products. This palm does not grow spontane ously on Key West or on any of the s, other Florida islands, as the violent north winds which often prevail in winter reduce the temperature of southern Florida too low for this heat lovinp tree, although when planted and eared for while younp it prows to a moderate size on this keys, and some times hears fruit; otherwise the nuts which are cast upon those shores by the pul f stream would have produced plants that would gradually have cov ered them, for it is in this way that the cocoumit has been aide gradually to spread over all the sandy coral shores of the tropics of the two worlds. The place of its first home is uncertain. It was lwlieveit ly the younger Candollc to have first appeared on some of the islands of the Indian archipelago, whence it was carried either by ocean currents or by man to the southern coast of Asia, east tropical Africa, and to tin: islands and shores of l'acitic tropical America. I'ndoubtedly it was brought by man to the West Indies and ltra.il after the discovery of America by F.uropeans, although it has now so spread, through the action of ocean currents or by the agency of man, that it has every apjicarance of being in digenous on the shores of east tropical America. The cocoanut palm, says (larden and Forest, is a magnificent plant, well named "a prince of the vegetable kingdom," witli tall, slender columnar stem eighty or a hundred feet high, and rich pale yellow-green leaves which are thirty or forty feet long, and Uutter and rustle with every breath of wind. The cocoanut grows only near the shore, where its roots, penetrating the sandy soil, may drink freely from clear underground springs. Of all trees it is the most useful to man, furnishing f.iod, shelter and employment to hun dreds of thousands of the human race. In tropical countries, especially in southern India ami Malaya, the cocoa nut supplies to whole communities the chief necessities of life. Kvery part is useful; the roots are considered a rem edy against fevers; from the trunk, houses, boats and furniture are made; the leaves furnish the' thatch for houses anil the material from which baskets, hats, mats and innumerable other articles are made; the network of fibers at their base is used for sieves and is woven into cloth; from the young llower stalks a palm wine, called toddy, is obtained, from which arrack, a fiery alcoholic drink, is dis tilled. The value of the fruit is well known. From the husk, which is called coir, commercially, cordage, bedding, mats, brushes and other ar ticles are manufactured. In the tropics, lamps, drinking -essels and spoons are made from the hard shells The albumen of the seeit contains large quantities of oil, uswd in the east fo cooking and in illuminating; in Kuropc and the United States it is often mailc into soap anil candles, yielding, after the oil is extracted, a refuse valuable as food for cattle, or as a fertilizer. In some parts of the tropics the kernel of the seed forms the chief food of the Inhabitants. The cool, milky fluid which tills the cavity of the fruit when the nut is young affords an agreeable beverage, and the albumen of the young nut, which is soft and jelly like, is nu tritious and of a delicate flavor. As might lie expected in the case of a plant of such value, it is often care fully and extensively cultivated in many countries, and numerous vari eties, differing in the size, shape and quality of the fruit, are now known. The cocoauut is propagated by seeds; the nuts are sown in nursery beds, and at the end of six or eight months the seedlings are large enough to plant. The plants are usually set twenty-five feet apart each way in carefully pre pared beds tilled with rich surface soil Ouce established, a plantation of co coanuts requires little care beyond wa tering, which in necessary in its earl; years to insure a rapid and vigorou growth. In good soil the trees usually begin to llower at the eud of five or six years, and may In- expected to be in full Waring in from eight to twelve years. Thirty nuts from a tree is con sidered a fair average yield, although individual trees have been known to produce an average of three hundred nuts during a period of ten years. An application of manure increases the yield of the trees, although probably the value of the additional crop ob tained in this way is hardly large enough to justify much expenditure. IGNORANT SPIRITS. They lied Not Kept l p with the Latest Obitwary News. JV friend relates to me an incident that occurred on the evening of the day when the news of the death of I 'res tun S. ISrooka came to Massa chusetts, says the Hoston Herald. It was at a spiritualistic exhibition held iu the town of North ISridpewatcr. now the city of Irockton. A com mittee of citizens had been chosen from the audience to sit at the table ou the platform with the medium to ask questions and otherwise represent the audience in the interest of candid investigation. Jacob W. t'rosby. a well-known citizen, was one of the committee, lie was to Io the question ing'. After a few introductory in quiries, to which replies were made Iv the regulation one, two or three raps. Mr. t'rosby astounded the spirit world by the query: "Is the spirit of Freston S. ltrooks present?" There was no reply and the question was repeated. Then there were some hesitating raps at the table, but it could Hot be determined whether the answer was in the atlirinative or the negative. "You know that he is dead, don't you?" shouted the committeeman. The answer by raps was now dis tinctly "no." 'Well, he is, thank tJod:" yelled "Uncle Jake." who was wrought np to great excitement, as he struck the table with his ponderous fist; "and you had better make a note of it." Taking to Had Uiiku(.'

An unp rincipleii scamp recently played a jfanie upon a 'Washing-ton restaurateur that for originality and effectiveness ha lot been matched in any of ' 's nme-honored stories of Ueau Hickman or any other "eaters of dinners. you footthe bills." He was a well-dressed, jrentlemanly-appear-ing person any other would not have secured much attention in the cafe which he worked and he ordered a dinner that proclaimed him an epicure, if a scoundrel. He commenced, says the Tost, by tipping1 the waiter lib erally, which alone would proclaim him one accustomed to secure the besc of attention; and as for wines, he would have none but the best vintages, which he picked with the taste of a connoisseur. The dinner was prepared to the kind's taste and appeared to please him until the last course. At tjuit.point he uttered an exclamation of horror, and - beckoned frantically to the waiter. That functionary not be iny sutlicieiit to vent his wrath upon, lie summoned the head waiter, and eventually the proprietor. Then he pointed out the cause of trouble a dead fly iu the dessert. Words could not express his well-feigned disgust, or the regret of the proprietor at this unfortunate occurrence. The cook was called up and Toasted" more effect ually than he ever did his meats, and the restaurateur offered every amend in his power. lSut the truest professed to be almost overcome with nausea, and could not eat any more he had prole bly had all he wanted. Of course the proprietor could not think of clmrtrinr for such on unfortunate meal, and was only tix thank t'ul that the matter should escape the attention of the other frucsts. Uut when the disgusted guest had (rone a bystander, who had watched the occurrence, remarked to the proprietor: "Why, didn't you see him put that tly in the dessert?" And the subsequent conversation was uutit Y 'or publication. POWERFUL WAVES. The Effect of a tiale Over the Oreat Salt Lake. A correspondent of the Youth's Com panion recently witnessed a most con vincing1 pnof of the weight of salt laden waters of the Great Salt lake. A strontf fe'ae o' wind was blowing1 over the lake and driving its surface into low, white-capped ridfrcs, while aloiijir the shore the foam lay like Hat banks of new-fallen snow. If it had passed across a lake of fresh water of equal extent that wind would unques tionably have produced such an agita tion of its surface that navigation in small boats would have been ditlicult if not hitrhly perilous. Jtut the waters of the (Jreat Salt lake, although driven into ridges as just remarked, showed a curious re sistance to the wind and the waves, rising to only a slight elevation, moved along with an appearance of lethargy that the eye could not but notice. Vet there was an immense momen tum stored up in those low, heavy, slow-moving waves. Venturing into the water at a point where the depth did not exceed four feet the observer found that it was impossible to stand against them. Their sheer weight swept hiin resistlessly along. The curious huoyance of the water, containing twenty-two per cent, of salt in solution, increased the helpless ness of the bather. He was -not sub merged, as sometimes occurs in the Atlantic breakers, but was lifted and carried like a cork. It would probabl3 have been impos sible to . dive through an oncoming wave after the manner practiced by bathers along the Atlantic coast. In the (ireat Malt lake people are 'not drowned thronph sinking, but stran gled while still alloat. The bitter water may enter the air passages with fatal effect, but the body continues to tlort until it reaches the shore or is picked up. BRUIN WAS KNOWING AND BOLD. It Wm Affalnst Order to Khnot. So He Italded the Soldiers Camp Nightly. "When I was in Yellowstone Park this summer," said a Wyoming Valley man, "one of the gamekeepers told me altout a lear that worried a camp of rovornment soldiers almost to despera tion for several weeks. Late one night a bear waddled into camp, riped open :i tent, put the soldiers to Hight. got what he wanted to eat, and went a way. The next night the bear came around again, smashed down a tent and stole a smoked ham. L'nder the park rules the soldiers were prohibited from tir ing at the thievish brute, as well as from jabbing a bayonet into him, and the only thing they could do when the l-ar appeared and went to helping himself to rations was to get out of his way. Night after niyht the bold least made n raid on the camp and ruined a tent or two. My informant said that the lear acted as if he knew that the soldiers daren't tire at him, and that on each visit he lccame more saucy and destructive than Wfore. When the War's raids had liecome unbeara ble the commandant sent the facts to the secretary of the interior and asked what to do. Word came back to shoot the bear, and that night, when bruin strode lxddly into camp, the soldiers put art end to his career by riddling him with bullets." PECULIARITIES IN MASSAGE. The IHfTer. urea or Temperature Caused hv Friction of the skin. Light friction of a part reduces sur face temperature, says the New York ledger. In ten experiments on healthy adults, whose arm-pit tciu-iK-ratures on lth sides was equal, and tvliohe free temperature ou the surface of both forearms was lie fore massage eighty-eight degrees Fahrenheit or more, it was found, on subjecting the left forearm to gentle upward friction that, whilst the temperature in lot!i armpits and in the untouched free sur face of the opposite limb remained constant," the temperature of the left forearm fell in all cases more than two degress, and in three cases nearly four degrees. After firm friction, rolling, squeezing and kneading of the skin of the limb iu all cases, the free cutaueous temperature rose to ninety five degrees: but the armpit tempera ture remained the same on lioth rddes, whilst in; seven cases an interesting phenomenon was noticed on the oppo site side viz., the right limb sensibly perspired and the free surface tem perature of the untouched forearm fell to eighty-four degrees daring the time that the firm friction of the left limb was in progress. In regard to light friction, it has been impossible to de tect any effect on the patients sense of locality or on the temperature some. After firm friction of a part for five minutes comes a decided increase of the sense of touch, and the sense of lo cality has, in most instances, been ap parently improved. - Sagacity of Wild I'ocL Wild geese and wild ducks show knowledge as to the resistance of the atmosphere and sagacity in overcoming it. When flocks of them have togolong distances they form a triangle to cleave the air more easily, and the most cour ageous bird takes position at the for ward angle As this is a very fatigu ing tst another bird ere long takes the place of the exhausted leader. Thus they place their available strength at the service of tbe society. . - . CARL RrVTNJXTS, ' ...

How mn Knslmh 'aptala nt Oat a rire las the Nick of Time. The "Ilihtoriciil Records the Forty-Third Liht. Infantry," the fa mous regiment which played a most important part in English warfare during1 the last quarter of the eigh teenth century and the. early part of tbe nineteenth, contains a stirring in cident of the prompt action which averted a tragedy, says the Manches ter Times. Worn out with hard march the brig ade under Capt. Lloyd approached the convent at lleuevente, where the cav alry and reserve still remained, hoping fort-belter. They were disappointed. The convent was occupied by several thousand infantry, and the lower gal leries were so densely packed with the horses of cavalry and artillery that it was hardly porisible for a man to make his way among them. Two of the officers stood looking in at the dubious prospect through the single door that gave ingress and egress. A sudden cry of alarm burst from the lips of one. "Look there!" he cried, pointing over the backs of the horses. At that moment one of the inside wooden shutters burst into llamc. Horrified, the otlicers looked at the burning shutter, and realized the hopelessness of the situation. It would be impossible to get the 6,0M men and horses out, and they mnst stand by and see their comrades perish miserably. .There was no water near, and if there were, how get at the fire through those densely crowded horses? The tlames crept upward towards the rafters. (Jood heavens! Something must be done!" cried Capt. Lloyd. And theu with a motion to liiose outside to lie quiet, tbe brave captain leaed on the back of the nearest horse, and stepping from back to back of tbe ani mals, ran to t lie blazing shutter, tore it from its hinges and pitched it from the window. Then he made his waj buck to the door in the same way as Ik' fore. So quickly was the act performed that even the horses were scarcely dis-turlx-d. The building was saved and there was no paiiie, which would have been as disastrous as the flames. The captain's eyebrows and mustache were scorched, but that was all. "And they'll grow again," he said, with a laugh.- THE MILOMETER. A Qussr Instrument ted Ouring the Ao nual Overflow of t Ik N'Ue- rhinng the time of the periodical in undation of the valley of the Nile a ' queer recording instrument, known as the "nilometer," is hourly and daily consulted by a sluggish Egyptian otti cer, who, to judge from his motions and actions, cares but very little it the ' river keeps its bed or overflows tbe whole northern half of the African continent. Hut, as it is the only labor he is forced to perform, and a Lis bread and cheese usually depend upon proper . execution of the duties assigned, the record is taken with scrupulous accu racy. This queer and ancient "ther mometer of the Nile" (it dates back to 45 A. 1). ) is situated at the end of the island of Hhoda. It is simply an im mense upright octagonal pillar stand ing in a well-like chamber, surrounded on four sides with strong walls pro vided with arched openings which al low the rising waters free access to the nilometer. The recording pillar is covered throughout its length and on all of its eight sides with cubits and digits nicely divided, painted with great precision, much resembling sec tions of a gigantic checker-board. There is a huge staircase leading from alove flown to the bottom of the cis tern, in which the nilometer stands, , the well-worn steps attesting to the immense nuuiU-r of times the instru ment has Wen consulted. Olaaa Illowrra. Many attempts have been made to . supplant the glass blowers by ma chinery, but up to this time none has attained commercial importance. Either the cost f production has been found to be higher than by the time-honored method or the ware pro- duccd was not of a quality up to the demands of the market. This is more ; especially the case in the kinds of lxt ' tie.- used to contain effervescent drinks, which must be capable of with standing a pressure of several atmos ; phen-s without failure. This, in fact. ' is the critical point in the automatic manufacture of bottles, since the dif- ficulty has always been to obtain a distribution of the glass forming the walls of the bottle as uniform as in the handiwork. The attempt has been made to press the body and bottom separately and to unite the two by fusing them together, but the bottles made in this manner were very heavy and of poor appearance. Tbe bottle machine invented by Ashley, in Eng land, aroused much interest and was much talked of, several companies be ing formed to engage in bottle manu facture by this method, but none, if :they still survive, has succeeded in putting an j' great amount of ware on the markets of the world. A C'hlneae Tee. leireui. There is a strange Chinese legend concerning the tea plant. According to the story, there once lived a very pious 1 heruiit who passed the greater part of his time in prayer and vigils, lie was, however, unable to keep awake as long i as he wished, and often found his eyes : closing while he was in the very midst . of his devotions. This naturally an , noyed him, and one day in a fit of f wrath against this weakness of the llesh, which he seemed unable to over come, he cut oft the offending eyelids , and cast them upon the ground. Hut his action had leen observed by a god, , who immediately caused a tea shrub to . sprinp- up from the spot where the ej-e-' lids had fallen. It is in reference to ; this,-according to the legend, that the ! leave of the tea plant are shaped like eyelids, fringed with lashes, and poa- sess the power of warding oft sleep. Couldn't Marry oe 3(1,003 a Year. "No." remarked the young man with a touch of sadness in his voice, "it may ; le that some day happiness will le mine, but at present it is beyond me. There is a girl whom I love . dearly. She would have me if I only asked, her, but I dare not. I really ' cannot marry and live on 'C,OOo a year." His two friends to whom he j spoke looked at him in wonder. For a moment they were speechless con l sternation and pity depicted on their youthful countenances. But present ly speech returned to them exactly at the same time, and they fairly howled in their excitement: "You cannot mar ; ry on ".,(mmj a year? Why not?" "Why not" echoed the youth with the sad voice, which grew still sadder. "Why, simply because I haven't the 6,000." And the mystery was explained. A Uealal Hint. The youthful clergyman of a country " place was invited to take tea with an elderly spinster whose attentions to him were of the motherly sort in all , eyes, except those of her still older coachman and general factotum. To him his mistress could never grow old, nor other than a coveted match for anv . mairf As he was bringing the guest of : the occasion from the village he sud ; denly mentioned his hostess' name. Then, turning to the clerical boy, he ; demanded: "I've been thinkia why i don't you an her hitch up?"
