nEIICInUS COCO



The articles chocolate and cocoa are
only two forns of the same substance.
The tree twice in the year yields a crop
ufreddish spongy fruit, shaped somewhat
like cucumber the ripe fruit being col
lccted at the decline of the moon. The
tree continues its yield for twenty or
thirty years. Each fruit or pod con-
tuins from six to fifty Enthusiastically
about twenty-and there are from ten to
twenty pounds of such beans from each
tree to each crop.
The beans are usually about the size of
large almonds; they are frequently called
indifferently "beans, seeds, " nuts, "
"harries, and fruits, " but their char
actcr will be better understood by re-
garding them as beans contained within
pod. They are generally picked out
and dried for expectation. Besides the
beans, the pulp contains a creamy and
cordial juice; and, by steaming and press
ing, the beans will yield one third Of
their weight of a kind of butter, to which
the richness of cocoa is due.
For preparing the beverage material,
the beans are exported in their original
state, to be converted into cocoa or
chocolate by a manufacturing process.
They are first roasted in slowly rotating
ovens, then broken by machine into such
state that the husks may be separated
from the kernels by blast of air, and
they are afterward treated and beaten
and converted into pulp by means of
their own oil The pulp, when ground
between millstones till it assumes a con-
sistency something like that of treacle,
is in a state to receive any of the moditi-
cations that will fit it for the market.
While chocolate and cocoa contain an
essential principle, theobromine, COM
parable to caffeine and theine-the aka
loids of coffee and tea-it is much less
potent as a disturber of the nervous sys-
TEN; and chocolate and cocoa are pro-
portionally more welcome asa beverage,
besides possessing specially nutritive
qualities that render them much more
sustaining than toa.-LThe Sanitarian.

The biggest Apple Tree.

The largest apple tree in New Eng
land, and probably in the world, is in
the northwestern part of Cheshire Conn,
standing in Mr.. Delos Hotchkiss's door
yard. Its age can be traced by a family
tradition to $40 years at least, and it may
be 20 to 25 years older. 1t is at the pres
ent time of symmetrical shape; the
trunk is nearly round, without scar or
blemish on it; there are large branches;
5 of them have been in the habit of
bearing one year and the remaining3 the
next. Mr. Hotchkiss has gathered in
year from the branches So bushels of
fruit, and his predecessor had harvested
a crop of 10 bushels from the same )
branches. By careful measurement, the
circumference of the trunk foot above
the ground, above all engagements of
the roots. is 13 feet inches. The girth
of the largest single limb is 6 feet 8
inches. The height of the tree has been
carefully measured and found to be go
feet, and the spread of the branches as
the apples fall is 100 feet, or 6 rods. The
fruit is rather small, sweet, and of mod
crate excellence - BOSTON journal,

A River to BE Turned From Its Bed by
Gold Seekers.

The latest great engineering project of
interest is that of Major Frank Nc
Laughlin, of Orrville, Cal The prof
ect is no less than the turning of the
turbulent Feather River, that runs be-
tween a series of the gigantic Sierras,
out of its natural course by means of a
great tunnel and some slight natural
aid in the way of deep bend. 1t is
said that the sum of 50, 600 600 has been
pledged in London for the preliminary
work.
A San Francisco paper says: "The
immense cost of this turning of the
Feather River from its bed was figured
out without fright by the projectors
because of the success of previous enter
prises of this kind In 1857, when the
famous Cape Claim of California was
worked, the expenses of huming and
laying dry the river bed amounted to

Mortar Balls.

There is no ma carrying in Japan,
writes a correspondent from Toxic The
natives have method of transporting
mortar V hich makes it seem more like
play than worl,-to an onlooker
Three men were repairing the roof of
a one story building the other day by
resetting the heavy black tiles in mortar.
The mortar was mixed in a pile on the
street. One man made this up into balls
of about six pounds weight, which no
tossed up to a man who stood on a lad
der midway between the roof and tho
ground. This man d.ftly caught the
bali, and tossed it up to the man who
stood on the roof. This was playing
ball to good purpose.

Now, my dear, you must care what peo-

occasionally some one, falling into the
mire of scandal and gossip, is brought
into the court all bedraggled and dis
figured and the judge, not being able
to see the virtue That is underneath, de-
cides against the victim, and all because
she did not care what the world said. l

Many Men Have Sought Her Hand in
Marriage, but in Vain.
Among the people who occupied the
platform at the unwilling of the Greeley

only surviving member of the great ed
itor's family. For years she has lived

Many men have solicited her hand in
marriage for Gabrielle Greeley is. and
has been a beautiful woman), hut in
vain. She has grown old very rapidly,
however and her face betrays her ac
quaintance with SORROW. Only an occa-
sion such as that could have tempted
her to leave the lonely retreat with
which the name of the founder of the
Tribune is so closely identified. Not
many of the spectators recognized her
as the daughter of the man, the perpet-
uation of whose memory in bronze was
being celebrated that morning. Behind
Mr. Depew, and almost out OF the range
of public observation, she sat motionlesS
save for the movements of her lips,
which betrayed the emotions aroused by
the orators eloquent tribute to the dead
journalists character and achievements.
Her tears completed the story of these
emotions. Old friends of the illustrious
newspaper man shook hands with her as
she withdrew to return to the place
where she will SPEND the years that re-

of the public eye forever is altogether

Statistics have been published con-
corning the duels fought in Italy during
the decade from 1879 to 1899. OF course
the list is not complete, as many con-
tests took place that were not duly re-
ported. Nevertheless we have before us
full details concerning 2, 700 duels which
took place in Italy at the period men,
toned. OF this number SO per cent
were fought with swords OF rapiers, 6
per cent with pistols, and one only with
revolvers Strange to say, no less than
1901 wounds were inflicted, so that sew
eral cOmbatants must have been
wounded more than once, and OCCASION
ally both combatants were hurt. OF
these wounds, 1,0GG are estimated as
serious, and 50 proved fatal. Thus less
than 2 per cent of the combatants were
killed. The danger of death is, there
fore, not very serious; one man in
fifty or sixty may be killed.
In Analysing the causes of these en-
counters it is found that 80 per cent
arose from political divergences of
opinion and newspaper articles concern
ing the same; per cent only of the
duels were fought in consequence of
some serious insult, but 10 per cent
arose out of discussions on religious
TOPICS ami 10 per cent from quarrels
over cards and other games. 1t is also
a curious fact that the number of duels
is five times greater in summer than IN
winter-a self evident proof that heat
affects The tempel-while in the Lenten
season there are hardly any duels at all,
which is, perhaps, an argument in favor
Of fasting. Out Of 100 duellists it was
ascertained that 80 were military men,
20 We're journalists, 70 were barristers,
a students, professors, 3 engineers, and
3 members of parliament. - Public

They Want Wives.

The "superAuous woman" of which
the newspapers are talking so much
would do well to migrate 10 the French
Canadian settlements in the Northwest
Territories There is powerful dearth
of women, aside from squaws, to be
found among the settleIs, and the young
men are crying for wives They are
willing to put themselves in the hands
of their friends providing these friends
will send them a reasonable assortment
of manageable women from which
they may select their choice The priests
have taken the matter in hand, adyer-
tised it in the French Canadian papers,
and the first party of candidates for
matrimony will leave for Calgury within
ii few weeks.
This is not a new idea by any means.
In 1665-'66 the same agreeable scheme
was carried into effect, and more than
800 girls were sent from France to Can
ada as prospective wives of the settlers.
They were in charge of Mother Marie
de l'Incarnatim, who referred to them
in letter as "miXed goods. Each girl
will be required to furnish a certificate
to the effect that she is free to marry.
This provision is necessary in view of
the fact that in the good old days
number of giddy damsels who We're
already married came over to the new
country to try their luck again.

ECONOMICAL HUNTINGTON.
Huntington's hand is still busily en-
gagged in the process of amslgamation,
which he commenced Immediately upon
assuming the presidency of the Southern
Pacific company, and consolidation goes
merrily on, while the great magnate
chuckles to himself and hugs close to
his greedy heart the motto economy,
says the San Francisco Call OF Tuesday
81 am convinced" said he to Mr..
Crocker, one day, upon the occasion OF
his recent visit, ''that we are actually
wasting thousands of dollars in operat-
ing the Pacific system. The Atlantic
system is more economically managed,
and were some of the methods in vogue
there to obtain more generally here, we
might cut down expenses very mate
rally, without impairing the efficiency
of the service in the least" Having
thus delivered himself, Mr.. Huntington
went to his private Office, called his Sec
retary and wrote few letters. 1t was
then that the coast division consolida-
ton scheme was born, and it was about
this time that several high officials were
staggered by reduction in their sala-
ries. The railroad men all thought that
justice was satisfied and avarice ap-
peased. Huntington is in New York,
but he has his motto with him, and his
secretary still draws salary, and writes
letters to the railroad men here telling
them how to economize in railroad man
agement.
