recent writer directs attention to- the
copra trade in the South Pacific as a source
of considerable present and of greater pros
pective profit. Copra is now the chief ex-
port of the Fiji and of some other South Sea
islands. 1t is the prepared kernel of the
cocoanut. The best is that which is dried
whole before breaking the nut. A foored
shed in which to stack the nuts is necessary
if they are allowed to touch the ground they
will terminate instead of growing. The
tough husk which envelops the shell must not
be removed else the halltEI, a sort of cock
roach makes its way through the one vul
nerable point or eye in the shell and regales
itself upon the water contained in it. 1t
takes three months for the water to disap-
pear. Meanwhile, the kernel has become as
dry and tough as glue. The husk and the
hard shell are now removed, and the hollow,
shrunken shell of kernel is broken up into
fragments to reduce its bulk. In this state
it will keep forever. Copra is also cured by
opening the fresh nuts and sun-drying the
meat for three days, or more if the weather
is cloudy. The article thus prepared is
in the husk, the process being too rapid.
Besides this, rain Injuries it, and if artificial
heat is used in the drying, the copra always
breeds animalcules which destroy it. Cocoa
nut oil, in much demand as a lubricator, is
extracted from copra, and the refuse is
worked up into cocoanut biscuits, or used to
enrich cattle food. Copra is worth about
ETA per ton in Fiji and from e21 to e23 in
London the fibre is worth little more, but |
at present most of it is thrown away. The !
trees bear all the year round in the South |
Pacific. Each tree will average 100 nuts per
annum about 5000 nuts go to make ton |
of copra, and they can be bought from the |
Fijan natives at POS. per thousand. In those !
islands some 10000 acres of cocoanut trees |
are now under cultivation. During the year |
1873 this group alone exported copra to the |
value of e122, 1874. The Samoan cocoanuts |
are even larger than those of Fiji, but the |
manufacture Is not yet developed in Samoa

HECKER'S
PERFECT BAKING POWDER.
A FAIR TEST.

To the Editor of the journal & Courier:
Sir:-The contract for supplying
the United States government with
seventy-five thousand $4,000 lbs.
of Baking Powder during the en-
suing year has been awarded to
Hecker's Perfect Baking Powder,
it having been tested by DIR. Ed
ward G. Love, analytical chemist
for the government, and recon-
mended by him for it's excellence
and because it contained higher
percentage of gas (Which means it
will make lighter bread aud bis
cuit) than either the "ROyal'' or
the other cream tartar baking
powders which he examined. The
samples analysed by DR.. Love were
furnished by the government COM
missiORers, and were without the
manufacturers label or name,
and designated with a number
known only to the commissioners.
1t will thus be seen that when
Hecker's Perfect Baking Powder
8 submitted to an impartial test
it's superiority is acknowledged,
and the popular verdict so emphat-
ica1ly expressed in it's favor is fully
sustained.

The new California Tichborne has con-
WINGED several people of his identity with the
baronet whom Arthur Orion persopated.
The California claimant has been known by
the name of Ferris. He says he left England
because he was disguised with family quar-
rels, and vowed never to bear the name of
Tichborne until thirty years had passed. He
came to the United States and lived quietly
until the war, when he entered the army and
lost one of his hands by wound. His
thirty years have now expired, and he in
tends to go to England to claim his inherit
ance. He has been recognized by two per
sons in California who were in the service of
the Tichborne family in his boyhood and
have no doubt of his identity.

few years ago large farms were all the
rage in England. Small holdings were scout
ed, and confident predictions were made that
they would share the fate of the hand loom
and the spinning wheel. Now the tide has
turned and it is running as strongly in the
other direction. Large farms cannot be let
small holdings are snapped up at once. Ac-
cording to Land there is all through the
West and the midlands the keenest competi-
ton for small farms, and men who a few
years ago were in possession of farms of 200
or 250 acres, without possessing the capital
necessary for their proper cultivation, are
now taking farms of forty or fifty acres. upon
which, if they have less capital than they had
five or six years ago, they will have a larger
capital in proportion to their holding, and
better security than they had TO encourage
them in the free use of their capital and
skill alike. An agricultural, if not an agra
rian, revolution is thus going on silently,

The clearing house exchanges for the last
week of May show a remarkable shrinkage in
business. Taking the country at large, out
side of New York, the decline in exchanges,
as compared with the corresponding week of
last year, was 1919 per cent, although
prices are 10 per cent. higher than year
ago. The Public finds the cause of the con
tinued decline, which the exchanges have
shown to be going on for several months in
over-production by manufactures and the &C
emulation of unsold stocks in the hands
of dealers. The Public is disposed to take a
rather gloomy view of the situation and be
lieves that the duration of the period of de,
preston will depend less upon the crops than
upon the markets that may be found for &C
cumulated products

THE FAMOUS LITIGATION.

Mime Jumel died on July Il, 1868, in the
ninety second year of her age. The former
mistress of the mansion, Mrs. Morris, lived
to ninety-six. About ten years before her
death Nine Jumel made will in which she
gave large sums to several churches and be-
nevolent institutions. After her death the
natural and by her recognized heirs-Nslson
Chase or Chace, the husband of her dead
adopted daughter, and his children-contest-
ed the will. The case was clear-the woman
was quite out of her head-and after five
minutes consultation the jury gave verdict
for Chase. But he was not to enjoy the vast
property quietly. There soon appeared one
George Washington Bowen, who claimed to
be an iliegitimate son of Madame born be-
fore her marriage to Jumel. There was an
other trial, and in the former, in this and in
subsequent suits affecting the Jumel estate
some of our great lawyers participated, such
as Matt. Carpenter, Charles O'Conor, Ed
wards Pierrepont, Henry l. Clinton, AIexan-
der W. Bradford, Edwin W. Stoughton and
Aaron Vanderpoel. Bowen was at last put
out of the way, but he was scarcely out of
sight when a swarm of pretended relatives of
Jumel came from France. The contest was
continued at intervals through about fifteen
years, and finally reached the United States
Supreme Court whose decision was given in
favor of Chase and the few other heirs, rela-
tyes of his wife. In order to effect equit-
able settlement among these heirs the court
decreed the sale of the property, and that
final act in this romantic drama is to be
played in a few days under the direction of
Philo T. Ruggles, ex Master in Chaneery.
When Mime. Jumel returned from her first
visit to France she brought large amount
of furniture, valuable pictures and or
naments, most of which are yet in the man.
