Coceanut as Food.

The extremely nutritlve qualities of
the cocoanut are comparatively little
understood, yet for sustaining life and
vigor it will compare most favorably
with the best known food products of
the vegetable garden. The Fiji Times,
in calling attention recently to the fact,
relates an instance Of a vessel which
once left San Francisco with 400
passengers for Sydney. Running short
of stores they were obliged to put in at
Samas, where large quantity of
cocoanuts were obtained the remain
der of the voyage was attended with
heavy weather, and the vessel became
waterlogged, only reaching Sydney
after a perllous journey Of eighty days.
Owing 10 the extreme length of the
voyage their provisions ran out, and
men, women and children were reduced
to an exclusive diet of cocoanut; and,
owing to the scarcity of these, the
quantity apportioned was IN the pro-
portion of one cecoanut to each adult.
Notwithstanding this diet, wholly
unreieved by any change, not a life
was lost and not single case OF SICK
ness occurred, all the passengers land
ing in healthy and welinourished
condition. Another instance is men
toned, in which two men dritted in a
whaleboat upon Quaire Island, where
they remained for seven years before
they were rescued. They had no food
except cocosnuts, varied by an occa-
sional flying fish, and yet, when
rescued, were in excellent condition,
and had gained IN weight.

MOST people are surprised at the
decision in the Sharon-Hill case. All
credit Judge Sullivan with conscien-
tious motive, but many doubt his judg-
ment regarding the genuneness of the
contract. AS an appeal will be taken,
and as there is trouble in the camp of
the ylctors, net gain will probably not
amount to much, but in the meantime
men of means and easy disposition
have learned a lesson of caution and
there will be many disarrangement
of existing loose relations in conse-
quence of the result of this trial.

IT is now reported that there are
immense iron and coal deposits in
Alabama and that extensive works will
soon be built. The capitalists engaged
in the enterprise say that they expect
to be able to manufacture iron so
cheaply as to be able TO ship to Europe
and that they do not care for tariff.
1t would be a serious blow to England
should this be the case, and should our
interests eventually place us in posi-
ton of indifference as to free trade or
protection. 1t would then be interest
ing to note the sudden change which
would occur in her policy and demands
so far as commercial relations with
America are concerned.

comments on the form of indictments
are timely and sensible. If man
steals a mare, and the Grand Jury
indicts him for stealing horse, his
lawyer will set him free on the techni-
cality. What we need in the matter Of
law is little less dignity of form and
considerable more practical common
gsuse.

THE MONROE DOCTRINE is an &C
tive principle in our National policy,
which shows its effects in many d.
rections. The Nicaragua treaty, by
which the United States is to build
and control an inter oceanic canal, ex-
cites much adverse comment in Europe
and especially in England, where the
Clayton Bulwer treaty is set up as a
bar to the exclusive control by the
United States, of any international
highway across the Isthmus. The
Monroe Doctrine, this time on the
score of self protection, steps in as a
higher law, and will set aside the pro-
visions of treaty, which should
never have been made.

A CONTRAST.

In the English courts it appears thai
when any person kills another without
any good reason, and for the satisfaction
only of his own appetites and inclina'
tions. the act is held to be a murder.
The Mignonette murder case is a remark
able, perhaps extreme, evidence of this.
But the case of Conroy. the policeman,
shows, says the New York Herald, how
much we are superior to those English
prejudices. Conroy. with a savage and
murderous impulse, without any reason
but such as may have existed in his own
brutal nature, shot down and killed in a
public place an unoffending and quiet
person, and our courts, having had this
case before them for now something over
a year, are yet in doubt as to what is the
precise criminal quality Of Conroy's act.

OUR JUDGES.

A remarkable meeting was in session
in Philadelphia the other day. 1t was 3
gathering of the bar of that city to take
measures toward magisterial reform,
Says the Philadelphia Times:
Ten years of experience under our pres.
emit magisterial system have demonstrated
that the primary channels of justice have
been steadily debauched by our Police
Magistrates until they cry to every reput-
able citizen for relief by independent
action. Our magisterial system has, in
short, fearfully degraded the legal pro.
f~ession; has bred a host of pestiferous
shysters at the bar; has prostituted our
co~nstabulary to the meanest abuse of law
and justice, and has made it's sole rela'
tion to the administration of the laws
mockery and a lie. It has practically
created legalized blackmail shops in every
part of the city, and there is no safety to
the honest citizen, and no assurance oil
the punishment of crime, while our pres.
ent standard Of Police Magistrates is
tolerated.
The same is true, or, at least, the PEG
pie suspect SO, almost everywhere. The
dirt is thicker in some places than in
others-that's about the difference. The
C~ourthouses in some places are mere
"bucket-shops," where all get bilked
who are not inside Of the ring.

COLONIAL STRENGTH OF EU
ROPEAN COUNTRIES.

In a recent lecture by Sir r. Rawson,
President of the Statistical Society in
London, the differences between the area
and population of the several mother
countries and their colonies were shown.
With regard to the area, England has Go
square miles to the square mile OF her
W area; Holland, 81; Portugal, 20;
Denmark, $50; France, 100; Spain O.S6
square miles. The area of the British
Colonies is nearly eight millions of square
miles-rather less than the area of the
Russian Empire, including Siberia and
Central Asia; but if there be added the
area of the native feudatory States in
India, amounting to 500, 2S4 square miles,
over which England exercises as great a
control as Russia does over much OF the
territory under it's sway, together with
that of the United Kingdom itself, $780,
727 square miles, then the area OF the
British Empire exceeds that of the Rus
sian Empire by about 200, 900 square
miles, and it covers within a fraction
one-sixth of the whole land area of the
globe. As to population, England and
Holland have about six colonists to one
metropolitan; France, without protector
ates, one to six, with protectorates, one
to four; Portugal, one to one; Spain, one
to two, and Denmark, one to fifteen.
The total trade of the United Kingdom
is q fraction "a per cent? greater than
that Of all the other European countries
possessing colonies.
