COCOANUT PRODUCTS.
From the Jamaica Gledncr.)

Comm enting on the last annual
report of the Jamaica Public Gar
dens and Plantations, the "Tropical
AgricuIturist" Of Ceylon remarks that
if some of the suggestions made in it
are carried out, "Ceylon may expect
to- have Jamaica as a rival in the
manufacture of cocoanut products
CcyIon, as is we'll known, has been a
large exporter of these products.
1t is not quite certain, however, that
the cocoanut planters hav" all found
the business profitable, for in the
same publication the following para
graph appears :" Il believe the pi-
oncer~ of cocoanut planting in tho
Jaffna peninsula entertained the same
deluSivo hope. and estimated their
profits accordingly but they were
painfully deceived, for it was rare to
find Il tree attain Il paying develop
mcnt under about 90 years and it
was no wonder therefore that the
original planters of cocoanut estates
in Jafna lost their all before they
derived paying returns from them"
Whatever may be the reasons for
tins failure in the northern peninsu-
la of CeyIon, the Fji~ Islands find
their profit in large expectations of
cocoanut products. Mr.. Stonehewer
Cooper III his work Coral Lands"
Just published, enters minutely into
the details OF copra manufacture in
Fiji, and his statements verify others
we have quoted from other sources
lie says that the value of copra
exported has risen from EDO, 853 Ill
1875 to El22, 1874 in 1878, and that
the industry has taken the leading
place occupied by cotton. Young
plantations are rising on all sides,
and at the time of writing there were
9,l66 acres under cocoanut cultlva-
ton. At present no manipulation
Of the fibre is attempted, but the
yield per acre averages 6,OOO nuts
per annum, or about One ton OF copra,
worth in Levuka from f12 to ETA
($0U 10 @6U) Nr cooper gives t"o
Fijian trees only from seven to ten
years TO come into full bearing.
The copra on reaching London IS
worth, he says, from Ell to f23 per
ton, and a trihe more in Hamburg,
and it is o turned into lubricating
cocoanut oil, cattle food, and the
dainty cocoanut cakes of the contec-
TONER.
The process of manufacture rs
pursued in Fiji is simple in the ex-
IRENE. The best copra is that dried
whole, which is done by stacking the
nuts in large sheds, unhusked, at
a little distance from the floor. In
three months, the kernel has become
tough, " in which state it will keep
for ever, undergoing no change from

The Mexican Indian.

The Mexican Indian has copper
skin that has frequently dark
brown appearance. smooth, black,
glossy hair, protuberant cheek-boDes,
very keen eyes. broad lips and q Hat
nose are bis most marked traits. The
beard is generally heavier with those
who inhabit the temperate zone,
than those whose home is to be found
in the hot zone; yet the beard is gen.
orally very thin, growing only above
the lips and on the chin, while the
cheeks very seldom chow any traces
of hair. In Sonora, for instance, a
person who has anything of promi-
nept beard is certainly at least from
fifty to sixty years OF age. The Indian
has a softness OF skin in common with
the negro. The frame of the body is
large, stout, muscular and In good
proportion. Cripples are not to be
found among the Indians of pure
blood. Even those who have led for
centuries the lives of peaceful citizens
possess great muscular strength.
The Indian is an excellent porter and
walker With heavy load on his back.
It is common to see men carry loads
of 500 pounds for ak hours, resting
perhaps once or twice. Children OF
twelve years of age carry 100 pounds,
aud seem not to suffer under this bur-
den. Women in general are not far
behind the men. The way in which
a company of Indians goes TO tOwD
is curious. They move constantly in
a long row, one behind the other. Ii
you address q question to the person
marching in front, the row will stop
at once. and not begin It's movement
again before the conversation was
ended. Tbs Idjan On an errand seldom
walks. but is constantly trotting, and

in very short tine without showing
the least sign OF fatigue. The body
of an Indian ia less liable to disease
than that of the white man. Rheu
matism, colds and toOthache are
things unknown to those Of pure
blood. It is not very rare TO find in
an Indfan village several persons
who have passed their huudredtb

Condition Of Farmers in Eng.
land.

FOreignScOmpetitiOn has affected
English farmers, during the bad sea-
sons, chiefly in this Way-it has kept
down the price Of bread. Our crops
have been small IN volume and low
in quality during the five years, and
these matters, along with low prices,
have done all or nearly all the mis-
chief. 1t is not foreign competition
which theBritish tanner has to fear.
but rather big seasons and an i'll
conditioned climate. The Earl of
Leicester declared to me,during a
visit paid to his estate in Norfolk a
month or two ago, that neither he
nor his tenantry would fear
American competition if only we
had good seasons in this country.
This opinion is shared by many
farmers, though not so many land
owners, in other parts Of the country,
On the other hand, it must be said
that great numbers of English
farmers, probably the majority of
them, are now in favor of protec-
ton. They consider that free trade
has been tried and found wanting
in this country. They point to
America, for whose fiscal regula-
tons they are beginning to have a
feeling of envy and admiration. and
say: Here is Il great country
which does not believe in free trade ;
for thirty years we have been piping
to her, and she does not dance: is it
reasonable to suppose Sat we En-
glish have a monopoly of the COM
mon sense Of the world, and that
our system of international COM
MERGE is the best that is possible /?
No; We will go back to the ira di-
lions Of our fathers, and the people
shall pay more for their loaf. We
will put tax on American corn,
in the way thatAmerica puts a duty
on our manufactured goods, and so
shall reciprocal relations be main
tanned" And so on; under which it
is clear that America is educating
