The laying Of the cornerstone Of the Roman
Catholic university to-day adds another to the
accumulated evidences which point to the future
OF Washington as the educational as well as the
POLITICAL social and literary center OF the United
states Every citizen OF the capital ought to feel
n keen interest In to-days ceremonies not simply
for their direct and obvious bearing but for their
prophetic significance. We have now a great BAD
list university, deaf mute institute, university
for colored youth, Roman Catholic college OF the
highest standing, and other seminartes OF lesser
note. These are a nucleus. The rest may be
trusted TO come with time including, perhaps the
national university, with its headquarters here
and It's ramifications In every part OF the United
states, OF which George Washington dreamed.

A young SalvadoriaB, with the dark eyes

3 feet In circumference at It's base. Its tap

by thin pith, are as long as the body Of tho
tree. These fibers are used in Salvador, jusE
ss they are taken from the tree, a. shoe

natives use them largely for bride refns and
lariats. The raw material costs only tranop

Each banana tree beary in the twelve
months os It's existence ofliy one bunch 0e
fruit but from two TO ten trees spring from
the roots Of the oFs that has fallen. In 6al-
vador the bunch OF bananas is worth fifteen
cents, and the dead tree nothing. A cordage
factory or paper mill or coffee sack maker,
we're not the dead trees numberiess, would
give for each tree ten times the value Of The
fruit 1t has produced. Split, dried and
packed, the bodies Of the banana trees might
be shipped prontably to the United States;
but there Is no reason why some enterprising
American would not take them In hand and
ship 10 Salvador the proper machinery for
their manufacture, as labor is fully two
thirds cheaper there than in View York.
IL Salvador ropewalks are found in unfre-
quented streets and suburban roads. The
native machinery consists Of crank attached
