USES OF PALMS.
No End TO the Purposes to Which the
Plant Is Applied.


No End TO the Purposes to Which the
Plant Is Applied.
In order to be able to appreciate how
much the native tribes OF the countries
where palms most abound are dependent
upon this noble family of plants, and
how they take part in some form or
other in every action OF the natives
life, we must enter his hut and inquire
into the origin and structure of the
various articles we see around us. Sup
pose we visit an Indian cottage on the
banks of the Rio Negro, in South Amer
lea. The main supports of the build
ing are the trunks of some forest tree
OF durable wood, but the light rafters
are formed of the straight stems OF the
lara palm. The roof is matched with
large. triangular leaves, and bound to
the roof with forest creepers. The
leaves are those of the carana palm.
The door of the house is framework
made of the stems of the pashinba
palm. In one corner stands harpoon
for capturing the cow-fsh; it IS made of
the black wood of the pashinba palm.
Beside it is blow-pipe ten or twelve

wild hog or tapir; it is made from the
stem of one of two species OF palms.
The Indians large basSoon-like musical
instruments are made of palm stems; the
cloth in which he wraps his valued
feather ornaments is fbrous palm
spathe, and the rude chest in which he
keeps his treasures is woven from palm
leaves His hammock hoW-striuo and
fishing line are from the fibers of leaves
which he obtains from different palm
trees, the hammock from the miviti
and the bow-string and fishing line
from the tucum.
The comb that he wears on his head is
ingeniously constructed from the hard
bark of palm, and ne makes fish hooks
of the spines. or uses them for tattooing
purposes. His children are eating the
pupunda or peach palm; and from the
assai he has prepared a favorite drink
which he offers you to taste. That care
fully suspended gourd contains oil
which he has extracted from another
species OF palm: and that long, elastic.
plated cylinder used for squeezing dry
the mandrocea pulp TO make his bread
is made OF the bark of one of the singu-
lar climbing palms, which alone can re-
sist for a considerable time the action
of the poisonous Juice. In fact there
seems to be no end 10 the economical
purposes to which the products OF palms
are applied in the countries where they
grow interior.

A New Method of Treating
Disease.
HOSPITAL REMEDIES

What are they? There IS new de-
parture in the treatment of disease. 1t
consists in the collection of the specifics
used by noted specialists OF Europe and
America, and bringing them within the
reach of all. For instance the treatment
pursued by special physicians who treat
Indigestion, stomach and liver troubles
only. was obtained and prepared. The
treatment of other physicians. celebrated
for curing catarrh was procured. and so
on till these Incompatible cures now in
clude disease of the lungs, kidneys, fe-
male weakness, rheumatism and nerv-
Gus debility.
This new method of lone remedy for
one disease" must appeal to the COM
mon sense of all suffers, many of whom
have experienced the i'll effects and
thoroughly realize the absurdity of the
claims of Patent Medicines which are
guaranteed TO cure every in out of a
single bottle, and the uSe OF which. as
statistics prove, HAS RUINED MORE
SToMACHs THAN ALCOHOL. A circular
describing these new remedies is sent

Fred.s Fishing Recnr,l.

diram Day was the owner of nice
little boat. Just large enough to hold
himself wife and son Fred.
One evening Mrs Day was rowing
slowly, with Fred lying in the stern OF
the boat, his face within few inches OF
the water.
Suddenly Fred gave loud cry and
tumbled over backward. while big
black bass fish. fell at Mrs. Days feet
and went tapping about in the bottom
of the boat
What is the matter, Fred2" asked his
mother.
Matter just look at my nose! That
fish pretty nearly bit it OFF,
How did it happen?"
why, you see, mamma, | was lying
on the seat there. with my face down
close to the water. and all OF a sudden
out from under the boat darted the fish
and-snap! it took me by the nose!
1T had such tight hold with its
teeth that when ! jerked my head up it
was thrown into the boat-and I'm ago
in to have him for breakfast added
Fred
Mrs. Day burst into peal of laughter,
but. seeing the grieyed expression on
Freds face, she said gravely: Let me
see how badly you are hurt.
On examination. she found that the
boys nose had been very roughly treated
by the fish.
They rowed home as quickly as they
could. The next day Fred looked very
funny with his nose an covered with
court-plaster, and Mr.. Day had quite a
laugh over his sons adventure.
Fred did not care bit; but proudly
declared that he had broken the record
had caught fish in way that would
not be attempted by any one else; so he
was satisfied.
Moreover, he had revenge on the un-
lucky and venturesome FISH next morn
ing at breakfast. -Santa Claus

There is every thing in knowing
how TO dress the feet properly, said a
lady of fashion yesterday. My feet are
not small, yet ] manage 10 get credit
for decidedly Cinderella-like extremi-
ties. The trick is in knowing how to
dress them. See, now. my foot is ex-
actly as long as a No ; shoe and c
width. Do | therefore wear No 3 c.
as most women would? Not a bit OF it.
l wear 4 double A. The longer a
shoe is the narrower it always looks. OF
course, so that's the first gain: and. in
the second place. ! can wear shoe that
is narrower than my foot really is with
perfect comfort because there is so
much room in the length OF the shoe.
1t just transforms the undesired width
into the desired length. you sec. Most
women have an idea that a short foot is
pretty. no matter now wide and shape
less it may be- and only few OF those
who really see the beauty of d long
slender foot know how 10 secure it for
themselves. An old French boot
maker taught me the trick years ago.
and my feet have been an inexpressible
comfort TO me ever since - Chicago
