Facts About rhe Coeoanas

A fu1l-grown tree will mature from 60 to 100 nuts annually, writes a Philadelphia Record correspondent from Yucatan. In reality, the cocoanut is one of the most val uable trees in the world, nearly every part of it being useful to man. The natives eat the young roots and weave them into bas- kets. The tender leaves are cooked like cab bage, and the old leaves are made into slsth,
 hats, baskets, fans, lanterns, etc. It is alse used for bedding, for matching roofs, for fishing nets, even for writing paper. The magnificent trunk of the tree furnishes canoes; house posts and fences. The ribs of the leaves are so strong that they make ex- cellent paddles for boats, arrows, combs, torches and no end of other things. When the wood is burned it makes the very best potash for soap. By process of fermen- tation, good vinegar can be obtained from it; and also fair kind of sugar, which the Yucateoes call .'jaggery." The name of the fruit is derived from the Portu- guese word cocoa and the English werd nat Cocoa means Gan ugly mask,n and is said to have been given because the end of 8 cocoanut looks like . donkey's faca

Dire Mishap to a Spring Bonnet. From the Boston Traveller

A few days ago Boston lady was in- formed by her servant girl that box of flow ers had been left at the door for her. Being occupied at the time, the lady told the ser- want to open the box, sprinkle the flowers with water, and put them on ice adding that she would attend to them when she went to tea. The box really contained new spring haA which had been ordered, but was forgotten at the time the servant reported the arrival. Only the flowers were to be seen when the box was opened. The servant followed her orders explicitly, and the flowers were so thorough ly drenched that from a "perfect love C hat" it became 8 limp and worthless mass of discolored ribbons and straw

How 1t Hore Hike . Weight On An
 American Lady.
 Washington Letter in the Independsnt.1
 At an afternoon reception in private house the other day someone spoke of MT. Remnants articles in the Century, and the con- versation driftsd to Russia; and by one con sent they all turned to a lady who had been there, the wife of one of our ex-ministers to Russia.
 "How did you feel when you were thsrea Did it occur to you ever that you were living under an autocratic governmentW
 ''It bore upon me like weight always" said the lady, in earnest tones. '1 think I could not have stayed another year. One af ternoon was walking on quiet street, just off from the noise and hustle of the Nevskei Prospekt, the great street of the city. saw file of soldiers coming down the street, first soldier and then prisoner, then another soldier and stopped involuntarily. They had on the long, gray loose coat, linen trou- CTS, no stockings, and the gray cap of the convict and saw the diamond of yellow cloth set into the back as the first one went by, which meant that hs 'Tas political con- vict, and that they were taking hiA to Siberia. The second looked at me as he passed me, and I saw that he knew I was an American, and that he was taking last look at something that was free. His face wes fine and regular, with dark eyes and had fixed look of unatterable sadnes that brought the tears to my eyes as returned his gaze. l could do nothing-I might have got into trou- bls, or got him into trouble, if had made even sign of farewell, and turned away sick at heart.
 "The next day we went to the coronation of the present emperor. I was with the di- plomatio corps, aud we stood where we saw the newly crowned emperor in his crown, with the scepter in one hand and the globe in the other, his robes of state sweeping after hina, and followed by the court and deputa- tions from those inland provinces, who still wear strange and gorgeous garments aa glittering the court itself. I saw the whole grand line file up the red staircase, and at the top the emperor paused mo- ment and steod. The courtyard below was crowded with the muEhiks, tho peasantry, who had stood there from o'clock in the morning until the afternoon. He paused a moment, and the sunlight fell through distant window and struck all this imperial gorgeousness; then he turned and walked down the corridor, and disappear ed. Do you see how far he is frsm his peoplei He is never any nearer than he was Then. The wall between them is some thing that a democratic republican born in free air has to see to realize in the least"

A bill has quietly passed the New York State senate to repeal the act of May 30, 1882, which authorized parties who borrow money on call secured by pledge of stocks, ware- house receipts or similar collateral, to pay such rate of interest as they may agree in writing to pay. This is generally known as the Wall Street Interest law. It enables people to make bargains for the use of money on call without resorting to the roundabout process of tscommissions" additional to the rate of interest. It has been very conyen- ient law.

ManY Questions About the Farm, Answered
by DIR. w. L. Jones, Formerly OF

The sowing Of oats, rye and barley should
begin now. One should take advantage of
every rainfall and work diligently when the
ground is in good blowing order. In the case
of oats, particularly, 1t Is desirable to make a
i succession Of sowings, for it Is remarkable what
difference few weeks in the time of sowing
will sometimes make in two crops of oats.
The sowings should extend from the 10th Of
September to the 10th Of October. Sown later
than the last mentioned date they rather
liable to be killed, except towards the gulf
borders In the latter region they may be
sown in November
Fab oats should never be sown on poor land,
whore there is much danger Of winter killing
A plant, like All animal, must have plenty Of
food 20 enable it to Withstand cold. Oats on
CALLED red spots are almost invariably killed.
1t is also said that when MANFRED Literally
with stable manure oats are never badly killed.
If there Is amy difference in the quality Of the
land to be n, SOW the poorest first and the
richest last. That sown early viii have longer
time to become well rooted, and therefore
better fitted to withstand cold. That sown
later on rich land viii not have time to make
too much growth, getting into joint, and thus
becoming liable to be killed by cold. 1t is
well to SOW q plenty Of seed The plants from
the imperfect seeds will be killed by cold and

out On good land from two TO three bushels
per acre should DO sown Of the red rust proof
variety. OF the winter grazing a rather
smaller quantity viii answer.
We have tried blowing in and narrowing in
oats at the same tme and under like condi-
tons otherwise, and could see no difference in
the killing out in severe winters. AS urged
by MS several times heretofore, SOW seed from
fau-sown oats IN the fall never SOW seed from
spring oats. If one desires to apply CONNER
cial fertilizers to oats, it 10 well to apply phos-
pilates and KANT at the time Of seeding and
nitrogenous maDuros as q top-dressing in the
spring. One hundred to one hundred and fifty
pounds each of phosphate and kainit is as much
as ii IS prudent to apply in the fall, considering
the risk of killing by freezes.
Barley should be sown now as early as posi-
Bile. The chief value of barley is for grazing or
soiLng in very early spring, and to get good
growth then it is all important to sow early.
The same is true OF rye when sown for similar
purpose. Both rye and barley should be sown
by the middle of september. w. l.. j.

Subscriber, Sonoraville Ga; have year-old colt
that has what is described by Fauess as blood or
bog SPAWN; soft swelling on front and in hollow OF
hook joint; have blistered frequently, but TO little
effect Please advise me how to treat IT, and if it
would be dangerous to cut down on vein above and
boloY swelling and tie, then cut between tieings
and take out piece of VEIN Would il do good to
inject tincturc Of iodine into the swelling?
If tho colt is not lame would advise you to
let it alone. Cutting the vein in the manner
described would do no good, and injecting
iodine into the joint mightsetu up inflammation
sufficient to cause the ends of the bones to
adhere and produce a stiff joint. We say in
jecting iodine to the joint, for it is probable
that the interior Of tho swelling communicates
with tho joint and is filled with Joint fluid. A
young animal may possibly outgrow the
troubles if not, repeated blstering is the only
hope.
