He was never n sccrctive man until
the positions of responsibility in which
he was placed compelled him to be
chary of giving expression to his opin-
ions. He then learned the force of the
philosophers maxim that the unspoken
word is a sword in the scabbard, while
the spoken word is sword in the hands
of ones enemy.
In the field there were constant Wis.,
itors in camp ready. to circulate any in
timations of the commanders move
ments, at the risk of having such val
liable information reach the enemy; in
the White House, every encouraging
expression to an applicant for favors
was apt to be tortured into Il promise,
and the President naturally became
guarded in his intercourse with gener-
al visitors. When questioned beyond
the bounds of propriety, his lips closed
like vice, and the obtruding party
was left to supply all the subsequent
conversation. These circumstances pro-
claimed him man who studied to be
uncommunicative, and gave him rep
utation for reserve which could not
fairly be attributed ito him. He was
called the "American SphynX' and
Ulysses the Silent" and he was pop
ularly supposed to move about with
sealed lips.
When accompanying him through
New England the summer after the
close OF the war, it was soon seen that
the stories OF his retcence had pre-
ceded him. The trip was the first of
those grand ovations with which he was
always greeted by the people through
whose communities he travelled. The
train stopped for few minutes at u
small town in Maine, and the people,
as usual, took the opportunity of eX-
tending greeting and delivering their
words of welcome. As the General
stood in the doorway OF the rear car, a
tall, gaunt-looking woman clbowed her
way through the crowd till she got near
the platform. Here she stopped, and
put on pair of spectacles with glasses
in them that looked about as big AS the
lenses in large telescopes, and taking
a good look at the General. said, gasp

Paris As To Health.

In health, Paris is on level with
hundred other places. 1t has nothing
of its own to offer. Its climate pre-
sents a fair average of the qualities and
faults of central Continental weather;
the air is drier and more vivifying than
that of England; extremes of heat and
cold are sometimes felt, but they are
unfrequent; strong winds are rare; and
though fogs have become somewhat ac-
climatized of late years. the air is on
the whole fairly bright and pleasant.
But the same atmosphere may be found
almost everywhere along the same par
allel of latitude. The sanitary condi-
tions are good; the sewerage is excel
lent; the water is abundant and pure,
and the precautions against Injection in
all its forms are minute and well ap-
piled. The material conditions of life
are, however, growing SO much alike
in all large towns that we are living
everywhere under more and more sim
liar influences, and it may be said with
out much ineXactncss That, so far rs
Europe is concerned, what used to be
called especially healthy or unhealthy
place is becoming difficult to find. Epi-
denies come aud 90 in Paris as they
do in other centres of population, but
they are seldom traceable to local
causes, and usually assume general
character. But All these qualities are
merely negative; they Imply the alb
sence of objections, not the presence OF
recommendations; Paris possesses nc
positive advantages in climate OF
health, and English people will not be
tempted to live in it tor reasons OF that
sort. - The fVrtnightiy ReUteV.

Mrs Christian Zcie, aged sixty-threo

INT. lwo OF the most noted of this CITY
advised her, as the only alternative from
death, to have the leg nmputated below
the knee. She was troubled with an
intolerable itching sensation, which only
gave way 10 a distracting pain, which
made death her daily wish. She could
not sleep or rest On March 81, this
year, she commenced using DR.. Hart
mans PERuNA, aud to day the leg is
entirely healed, and the thankful old lady
says she has slept more during the last
three months than she did in the preyiou

Desiccatcd Ccconnut,

mo. sir, we don't make coconnuts.'
said member OF n firm whose siyn
read, "Cocoanut Manufacturing Com
pany." in response to an inquiry of a
reporter for the New York MAI ami
Express. "What we do is to prepare
cocoanut for confectioncrs. bakers, and
families, to be used for pies and pastry.
The nuts are brought here by the YES.
sel-load. some ships bringing rs many
as 400, 900 in one cargo. They are put
up in bags of one hundred each. 1he
average weight of the green nut is one
and one-half pounds. The best are
those thickest in meat and richest in
natural oil and sugar. They come
from San Bias, Cow island, San An-
dreas, Ruatans, Jamaica, and Baracoa.
They grow on the islands of the Car
ribcan sea, and the trees are so planted
that the roots are constantly washed
with salt water. The nuts are not
picked from tho tree. but fall to the
ground when ripe because of the decay
of the stems. When the husk is taken
off they are ready for shipping. The
perishable nature Of the green nut has
made desiccated cocoanut more desir-
able in the market, and this is the ar
tlcle we manufacture and SELL
What is the operationP'
"lhe cocoanuts are placed in large
hopper, from which they fall to zine
covered table on lower floor. In

placed, who crack the shell of the nut

meat whole. From & to IL o'clock six
men at this work open twelve thousand
nuts. A peeling machine then takes
oil the brown skin OF the nuts, after
which the meats are broken into pieces,
the milk drawn of, and the pieces put
into tubs of clean, cold water. The
meat is then inspected as to its quality,
and next it is put into a grinding mill
turning four hundred revolutions a
minute. The pulp thus made is mixed
with granulated sugar and put in long
pans of galvanized iron, which are put
in the desiccators and the water ex-
tracted at II high temperature. An in
teresting fact about the work is that
the entire process must be completed
by 2 O'Clock in the afternoon, be-
cause of the delicate nature of the
fruit. The number Of people employ
cd in this department is forty-six. The
desiccated nut is white AS snow, and
perfectly dry, when it has been through
the process, and it is then allowed TO
cool. and is left in dry temperature
for ten days before it is finally put up
for the market. At o'clock each day
the work is all done"
What about the idea that cocoanut
is indigcstible?'
'lt Is supposed by many persons to be
so. But the best growths show by an
alysis about AZ per cent of digestible
oils, per cent OF sugar, about 4G per
cent OF water, and only per cent of
ash. Ihis being the case, there is
scarcely anything people eat more di-

planned that feat, which consists of
working the vest down the arms by
gradually coaXing the shoulders
through the armholes. Then the vest
can be removed by slipping it off un-
der the coat sleeves. DeXterity and
patience are required. The young man
was positive he was the only one pres
ent who could do it. Mr.. Gould listen
ed to the explanation and said that
any man could do il, and that he could
do it on the spot. he caller was zeal
ously anxious to bet his modest pile
against an equal sum to be put up by
the millionaire; but the latter advised
him not to bet any more than big
apple. as he would be sure to lose it.
Mr.. Gould thereupon proceeded to per-
form the elusive act. He first took oil

put on his coat, and succeeded it with
putting ON his vest outside Of his coat

James Denman, principal OF the
grammar school which bears his name,
returned Tuesday from Il months ex-
cursion among the romantic islands
aud picturesque inlets of Alaska. Mr..
Denman devoted much of his attention
to the glaciers, compared with which
he pronouuces those to be seen in
Switzerland and other parts Of Europe
to be '.babies." Muir glacier, in Ga-
cier bay, named from the distinguished
naturalist, is a spectacle whose gran
deur cannot be described-a vast froz-
en- river OF ice, ever SLOWLY moving to
the sea and piling the enormous mass
es higher between the mountain banks
until their summit towers hundreds of
feet in the air. Where the point of the
glacier pushes out into and overhangs
the water. vast fragments breaking
apart every few moments Of their OWE
weight and falling with laundering
cr:Sh into the sea, to float away as
enormous iccbergs, it affords a specta-
Gle which can only be understood and
appreciated by one who bcholds it with
his own eyes. From the summit of
Muir glacier no less than twenty-ninc
others are to be seen in various dircc-
tions, all grinding and crowding their
huge masses toward tho sea, sight
which must certainly be one which few
other scenes can equal. Franc1s-

Watermelon Ethics.

Very few people know how to eat
watermelon, just as not one man in
ten thousand knows how to eat an Or
ange. 10 be properly enjoyed the per-
feet watermelon should be pounced on
in the patch just after sun-up. 1t should
be carefully selected. In response to
all eager thump there should follow a
dead and mealy sound, and the melon
should weigh not less than twenty-five
pounds. After it is pulled it should be
split end to end with short-bladed
pocket-knife, 80 that in tearing it open
the glowing and juicy heart, bursting
loose from its confinement, shall find a
lodgment on bne side only. At this
point the knife is to be flung away.
For moment the eye should be allowed
to feast itself ON the vision thus sud-
denly brought to view, then the heart
should be scOoped out with the hand
and its nectarous meat thrust upon
the hot and thirsty palate. There ought
to be something savage in the en- joy
ment OF II watermelon; it ought to be
crushed and swallowed with avidity.
The man who knows how to enjoy one
will come away from the fray with the
sweets in his beard, in his hair, and on
his clothes. .-Atlanta Constitution.

:. Hccs!..~i household was made

of cabinet organ. The mother could
play little, and there was a popular
collection of music included in the
purchase; she lost no time in getting
every note and stop into practice. The
organ groaned, and wheezed, and COM
planned, with the most astonishing mu-
sic. night and day, day and night for
a week. Then one morning there was
a knock at the door, and u little girl
from the next house shrilly said
please marm, mother wants to know
if you won tlend her your music bookP"
This was a surprising request, inasmuch
AS the woman next door was known to
be organizes. After gasping once or
twice. the amateur organist asked:
What does she want OF il?" The child
hadn't been loaded for this question,
SO she siraighlforwardly replied: "l
don't know, I'm sure, only l heard
mother tell father that il she had hold
of that book for day or two mebby
somebody could get u rest !" The wo-
man softly shut the door in the little
girls face, and went and carefully
locked the cabinet organ with u brass
