An interesting report comes FROM
the governor OF the gold coast on the
palm oil industry of the west coast of
Africa, says The Kew Bulletin. In
cultivating the palm ripe nuts fare
scattered over the ground, web raked.
and are then lightly covered with
earth. The planting takes place in the
rainy season. When the young shoots
have grown about a foot they are
carefully removed in the evening and
transplanted at least fifteen feet apart.
The tree grows luxuriantly and bears
most abundantly at height of from
ten to twelve feet in damp. semi
marshy soil. The supply of nuts fit
for use is biennial, and the most
abundant supply of commercial oil is
obtained from the nuts during the
rainy season. The punches of nuts are
cut down and placed in a heap in the
air, where they remain for week or
ten days. The joints of the nuts are
thus weakened by decomposition and
they can be detached by simply beat
ing them against any substance.
When the nuts are collected those
with a hard, unyielding pulp are
placed in hole about four feet deep,
which is lined with plantain leaves
and with palm leaves and earth. They
are allowed to remain for periods vary
ing between three weeks and three
months, until certain decomposition
has taken place, SO that when removed
the pulp is soft, and appears as if it
had been boiled. The nuts are now
put in trough made by digging a
holein the ground and paving it with
rough stones, Here they are pounded
with wooden pestles until the pulp is
quite removed from the surface of the
hard nut The whole is then removed
from the trough, put in a heap, and
the stones taken out, leaving the oily
fibrous pulp, which is put into pot
with small quantity of water, under
good fire, and we'll stirred until the
oil begins to melt out The pulp is
then put into rough net, opened at
both ends, to which are attached two
or three short sticks, by turning which
in opposite directions the oil is squeez-
ed out. The longer the nuts are under
ground the thicker the Oil and the
worse the quality. This alone accounts
for the different qualities of oil ex-
ported from different places along the
coast. Other methods are employed
to produce the Oil for home consump.
ton, but that here described is the
mode usual in the production of the
palm Oil of commerce.

New Use for the phonograph.

An interesting physiological expert
ment was made at the Edison house,
the headquarters of the Edison Phono-
graph company in Europe, last week.
DIR. L. White, of Harley street, has a
patient who has defect in his speech
of a most singular character. The pa
tent, a lad of 10, and English by birth,
is unable to speak his native language
but jargon which cannot be under
stood; many doctors have examined
him, but could not exactly diagnose
the cause of the phenomenon, and it
was questionable whether the lad
spoke the same thing twice in the same
way, and the only way to discover
whether he did so or not was to get him
to speak to the photograph. The lad,
in the presence of several gentlemen,
was asked to speak the Lords prayer
and the alphabet. Several cylinders
were made in this way, and when a
comparison was instituted between the
various phonograms, it was found
that there was no variation in the spo-
ken words and that it was quite posi-
BILE for the language which the boy
speaks to be understood by simply
learning the various sounds. The pho
nograms will be exhibited before vari-
Gus societies in this country, and it is
just possible d new disease has been
discovered. Pail Mall Gazette.

The Wfndfalla.

The orchard which is properly thin
ned will have much fewer windfalls
than the overloaded and neglected
trees. But what windfalls there are
will be better and well worth saving.
To prevent bruising they should have
smooth surface of the ground to fall
on. Scattered stones, where practical
BILE, should be picked and drawn off.
AS the ground is to be plowed for sew
eral years while the trees are young,
it should be mellowed by narrowing
at the right time, and it is well to sow
a thick crop of oats late in summer,
the growth of which in autumn will
make a soft bed for the apples to drop
on, the crop of oats being destroyed by
cold weather. If there are many small
stones on the ground, roller will
sink them to the surface while the
soil is mellow from blowing or har-
rowing. When the trees become old
and the orchard is seeded to grass and
top dressed, the removal of all surface
stones will be important. Albany Cul.

One Hundred oysters.

Before oysters were sent from the
east to be transplanted in the waters
around California, the native bivalve
OF that untry was exceedingly small !;
it took great many of the home prod
uct to make a satisfactory aeal. The
story. is told of young lady, a resi-
dent of that State, who was stopping
at New York hotel. She wanted
some lunch, and told the astonished
waiter to bring to her room hundred
oysters. 1t was not for the waiter to
question the taste, or rather the appe-
tlte OF the young woman, who, of
course, had in mind the diminutive
bivalves of her native state. The order
was soon filled by three walters, each
of whom carried tray full of oysters,
every oyster seeming to the young
woman as big as her hand. They
seemed to look at her with their horrid
white faces and their one diabolical
eye until they appeared to her like SO
many live babies ready to be carved
up. They leered at her as if to dare
her to come on to the attack The
young woman was afraid to swallow
even one of the monsters, and vet she
wanted to get rid of them, preferring
to be thought by the waters a glutton
rather than,a fool. Just outside her
window she found tin water spout
with small hole in it; she enlarged
the hole and slid the oysters all down,
one by one, they all the time cycling
her with what she described as "a
cold, nasty look of malignity."-Har

Authorized Murder.

The jury of the Seine assize court
has once more virtually sanctioned
murder, committed under certain cir
cumstances, by the acquittal of hus-
band killer. The prisoner, who was
brought up on the charge Of murder,
is hard working woman, and it was
her misfortune to have a husband who
squandered the money their trade
brought in and who was, moreover
by no means model of conjugal fidel
ity. One evening, the wife, return
ing home, found him in the company
of woman whom she took, though
wrongly it has since transpired, to be
a rival, and in revenge she killed her
husband. In sense the verdict of
the Seine jury in the present instance
ought not perhaps to have been any
other than verdict of not guilty, see
ing the number of cases in which hus-
bands who have killed their wives in
fit OF jealousy have been acquitted
The principle, however, gone upon is
bad, whether it be a man or woman
who benefits by it. Infdelity on the
part of a husband or wife is distinctly
reprehensible, but it is not g crime
which the law Furnishes by death, and
because a person has been deceived,
and is consequently jealous, humilia,
ted, or broken hearted, as the case may
be, the right cannot be granted in
civilized countries to avenge wrongs
by taking the life of fellow creature.
French Juries, however, are almost
always guided by sentimental consid-
erations. Standard.

Imposing on n Queen.

The benevolence of Queen Mar
gherita of Italy is 50 well known and
so spontaneous that not only do the
honest poor and suffering among the
Roman people frequently appeal to it,
but an attempt is now and. then made
by the undeserving to take advantage
OF her sympathetic nature.
Not long ago there was at work, not
far from Rome, counterfeiter named
Galloni. In thecourse of his criminal
occupation, he counterfeited the notes
of the Bank of France, and counter
feited them so completely to his own
satisfaction that what seemed to him
a happy thought occurred to him.
Il will send one of these to the good
hearted queen, he said TO himself,
''and tell her that am poor citizen,
who, having some doubts of the gem
uineness of the note. have resolved to
throw myself on her majesty's gener-
osity, and ask herto send me an Ital-
ian bank note in exchange for it
Galloni sent his spurious note to
Queen Margherita, with his appealing
message. The queen received and read
the letter, was touched by it, and en-
closed good Italian bank note to the
man in place of it.
But she CHANGED to show the spuri-
Gus note to an officer of the royal
household, who asked for the letter,
and, armed with it and the bank note,
the police made a descent upon Gal
loni's house and captured both the
man and his false plates.
L Al
one wrong deed, added to another, be-
trays the doer. Since Galloni was
wicked enough TO commit the crime
of counterfeiting, it was not strange
that he was also ready to impose upon
the generosity of kind hearted mon
arch. But it was his second crime
which exposed the first. -Youth's

John Chinaman's Comfortable Attire.

"a Chinaman is not pretty to look
at, and his clothes do not fit him like
the traditional paper on the wall, but
l think his attire the most comfortable
in the world, says a dress reformer.
ITO begin WITH" he resumed, the
Chinaman wears soft, low crowned
felt hat, with a wide brim TO protect
his eyes, He wears but single band
round the neck, or two at the most.
Have you ever counted up what we
wear2 mol Well, figure it now The
undershirt band one, possible chest
protector is two, shirt band is three,
a collar is four, a necktie is five, vest
collar is six, coat collar is seven, an
overcoat collar is eight and neck
scarf sometimes makes the total nine
nine bands around the neck. What a
chance for perspirationl Yes, the
Chinaman's rig is more comfortable. :"

A ROYAL BonapartO.

In an interesting paper on Prince
jerome, In The Westminster Review,
Frank T. Lawrence directs attention
to curious point, which, # ever the
question of Bonapartist restoration
should be seriously entertained
which, to be sure. does not seem very
probable-would not be without sig
nifcance. 1t is this: If the prince, or
even his descendants, should ever at
tain power, Bonapartism would ap-
pear in an entirely new guise, for
through his mother he belongs to the
royal caste, distinction which neither
the first Napoleon nor Napoleon III
could claim. He is as ''well born" las
those who take delight in this kind of
dynastic law are wont to express) as
any sovereign in Europe, and there is
probably no reigning family to which
he is not related.
AS his great-grandmother was a
sister of George III, he is second cousin
once removed to Queen Victoria, and
shares all her ancestry save that
through Queen Charlotte and the
duchess of Kent He has, says Mr..
Lawrence, ''as much of the blood of
Plantagenet, Tudor and Stuart in
his viens as the queen has in hers, :"
and in respect of the last he is excelled
by his children, who, through their
mother, are descended from Charles l,
through his daughter Henrietta, Ouch
ess of Orleans, while our reigning
house can claim descent only through
a daughter of James l. Prince Napo-
leon is descended from George in
three distinct lines, one of them being
through George II and Frederic,
Prince of Wales.
