They Cannot Get Over Fifty Cents for

The county's credit is at such low

gance of our administration, that
Jurors and witness certificates only
sell for so cents on the dollar, and
even at that low figure they are not
wanted, as there is not a single buyer
in the market.
After jury and witness certificates,
the regular scrip will follow. And if
prompt remedial measures are not
taken warrants will soon depreciate
until they will scarcely be worth the
paper that they are printed on.

ORIGIN OF ENGRAVING.
How One of the Most Precious Arts
Known to Men Originated.

How One of the Most Precious Arts
Known to Men Originated.
There are few chapters in the history
of art of greater interest than those
which unfold to US the discovery of for
gotten treasures, and reveal the exis-
tence of works which had long ago
passed out of remembrance. The in
innate connection between the inven-
ton of engraving and the art of the
silversmith, or rather that branch OF the
silversmith's work which consists OF
the chasing of an outline into plate of
precious metal to be subsequently filled
up with dark-colored enamel. the So
called Niello work, was never appre-
ciated until, at the close OF the last CEN
turv. Abbi Zani found among some
old Italian engravings, i'll the National
Library at Paris, print which he rec
ognized as similar in subject to the
famous Pax, decorated with Niello
work, made by Maso Finiguerra for
the baptstery of St. John, and paid
for. as is proved by the records, in
1852. This Pax or Assumption was
subsequently transferred to the cabinet
of bronzes in the gallery of Flor
ence, where it is now pre-
served, and it was proved, on
comparing with it the engraving, that
the latter had actually been printed
from the silver plate, before the enamel
was fused into the outline, prior, there
fore, to 1862. On the strength of this
discovery, Finiguerra has, ever since
the year 1896, been credited with the
invention of producing engravlngS on
paper from metal plates. There seems
little reason to doubt, as has been often
pointed out, that many silyersmiths of
the fifteenth century may have been IN
the habit of obtaining trials of their
work in progress, as did Finiguerra,
perchance, when he produced his his
torical print, representing Christ crown
ing the Virgin, from his work on the
Fl0rentine Pax. 1t may indeed have
been, together with the well-known
sulphur casts, recognized method OF
obtaining a record of the Nlello work.
which had been practiced for many
years previous to the time in question,
though no such paper impressions OF
an earlier date than this have been
handed down to us. 1t was common
practice to take proofs of the work by
means of sulphur casts long previous to
1852, as numerous specimens OF such
casts have been preserved to us, but it
is difficult to say who was the first bold
innovator to substitute piece of paper
for the sulphur, and thus originate the
precious art of engraving. The story
Of the wet linen, which accidentally
gave the idea to Finiguerra, is generally
| treated as fiction by those who have
studied the subject.-Art Journal.

A RARE FRUIT.
rhe Marvellous Product Of a Strange In-'
dian Ocean Tree.

The Marvellous Product OF n strange In-'
dian Ocean Tree.
Frederick Stearns has on exhibition
at his Office two specimens Of the COCO
de-mer, or double cocoanut, a remark
able fruit of one of the largest and most
wonderful of palm trees. They were
sent him by the Hon f. V. Mussey,
United States Consul at the Seychelles,
a group of islands in the Indian ocean,
north of Madagascar.
This palm tree, it is stated, attains a
height of one hundred feet, its stem
being nearly two feet in diameter. bear
ing at the summit a crown of fan-shaped
leaves. 1t is remarkable for growing
in a socket of hard, woody texture,
perforated with holes made by the roots.
This curious appendage derives its
origin from the cotyledon, which in this
palm attains the extraordinary length
of two feet, growing downward, like a
root, having the stem seated in its
thickened end. When perfect the thick
end opens on one side. like a sheath.
out of which rises the first succeeding
leaves of the plant, roots also being pro-
duced, which make their exit by pierre
ing the end of the sheath. In time the
nutriment of the nut becomes exhaust
ed, and the part of the cotyledon be-
tween it and the young plant withers.
The latter, however, retains its
placental vital connection with the
sheath end of the cotyledOn. which is
henceforth nourished by the plant and
increases in size with its growth, which
thus continues seated in the cradle of its
birth through life. This formation
appears, however, to be common to the
palms, but very much more largely de-
veloped in this variety. The fruit is Il
large oblong nut, covered with thin
rind. After the removal of the outer
rind it has the appearance oftwO oblOng
nuts firmly united together, often
weighing thirty to forty pounds. They
are borne in punches, each consisting
of nine or ten nuts, so that whole
bunch will often weigh four hundred
pounds. 1t takes ten years to ripen its
fruit, the albumen of which is similar to
that of the common cOcoanut, but 1t IS
too hard and horny to serve as food.
The shell is converted into many useful
articles by the natives. The leaves are
made into hats, baskets and the like.
The demand has of late years become so
great that in order to obtain the leaves
the trees are cut down, and as no care
is taken to form new plantations it was
at one time feared this palm would
eventually become extinct. In 1864 the
leading botanists in England petitiOned
the Government for its protection. By
more recent information, however, it
appears that in one island alone there
are many thousands of these palm trees.

Beans as Food.

The nutritive value of beans is very
great, greater than almost any other ar
ticle of food in common use. Consider
ing their richness they are probably the
cheapest food we have, but somewhat
difficult of digestion, probably owing to
the fact that we rarely cook them
enough and masticate insufficiently, In
preparing beans for the table they
should be first well soaked in cold wa
ter, then throEn into boiling water and
cooked of a medium constituency, be-
tween a fluid and solid, neither too
thick nor too thin. They require some
acid when eaten, and sufficient amount
of salt to render them palatable. They
may be eaten with potatoes or other
vegetables which contain more starch
and less albumen. rather than with too
much bread or meat. - Cgsgeiand LeGasry
