Grand last night by Robert McWade and
his company.
MIR. McWade's Interpretation Of the
character of the drunken. shiftless "Vag.

from the rip" of Jefferson, but suffers
nothing by the change. The native wit

the character are portrayed with equal

most affecting scenes, marring in meas

who could appreciate it.

with that for the paving Of streets, etc.
1t 10 a separate and distinct interest pre-

1t is an interest second to none and can
not be carelcssly or lightly treated. The
present buildings are entirely inadequate
to accommodate the children OF either
race, and the want of more room grows
with each year. do not think it neees-
sary to make an appeal in behalf of edu-
cation, and am satisfied that a plain
statement of the facts to the friends OF
our schools is sufficient to give us the ap-
preparation asked tor.

Our Lines of Care"

A student of American social character
istics said to me yesterday: observe the
lines of care in nearly every American
face. Between the eyebrows of nearly
every woman beyond p you see line.
The lines of the face WHICH predominate
are perpendicular. There is something in
the climate which produces an intensity of
nervous energy and mental excitement.
The faces OF Americans grow year by ear
more and more angular, and the direct
evidence of this is shown in a curious illus
tration given me the other day by prom
inent New York dentist.
He said he had observed the jaws of his
patients becoming more and more con-
tracted as years weuy ON, and that the
teeth OF the people he treaUoa were more
sGG more crowded together. lie gives this
as a evidence Of the superiority of Ameri-
can dentists, through the fact that they
have more difficulties to overcome in
treating Jaws which are filled with over
crowded teeth. In Europe, where the eli
mate is not so stimulating and life runs
along on more peaceful lines, the faces are
broader and the teeth are often wide
apart. Washington Cor. Chicago Trib-

JAPANESE BATH HOUSES.
They Differ Very Materially from Those
Seen in This Country.

Next comes the bath house. II you do
not recognize the furO-dO, by the Chinese,
or hira- CANA characters stamped on the
blue curtains fluttering outside its door,
YOU shall know it by the boys and men
emerging from the honorable hot water"
with hands and feet bright red by reason
of the parboiling which they have just I'M
dergone, or by the women with wet hair
brushed back from their fOreheads and tied
up at the end in triangular piece of paper.
When these latter get home o kami San,
the coiffeuse, will come and dress their
moist, black tresses for the next two or
three days in one of the many modes pre-
scribed by fashion.
There is the mage for married women,
where the hair is drawn over a pad, in a
solid shining, single boss; and there are
other elaborate styles for unmarried dam
sells, musumcs, girls and geishas, not to be
achieved without much appliance of ca
mellia oil, gold and silver strings and Kan
zashi-the carved and tinseled hairpins.
Inside the bath house are to be seen tubs,
tanks and siOping wooden floor, the spaces
for males and females being divided, if at
all, by mere lattice as often as by any
solid part itiUn. The japanese are not in
the least ashamed of the body, the ''city of
nine gates, which the soul temporarily in
habits.
In summer time there is not much of
anybody concealed, especially in the coun-
try Villages, where the police are not par

in the towns This frank exposure goes

leads to it. He would be considered very

much curiosity at what the bath house, or
the toilet in the shop front, or the mater
nal duties attended to upon the pavement

cidedly loses by this candor of Japanese

looks at what all the world may see, and it
is the veil which makes the sanctum.-Sir

HOW COCOANUTS GROW.
INTERESTING ACCOUNT OF THE
CULTIVATION OF THE NUT.

The Tree Attains Maturity in About
Eight Years, the Fruit in Fourteen
MOnths-There Are 25O,OOO,OOO Trees.
They Yield 10, 900, 900, 900 Nuts a Year.
Although the true and original home of
the cocoanut is India and the South Sea
islands, it has become so widely diffused
by the hands of man and the waves of the
ocean that it is now prominent feature in
almost every tropical portion of the globe,
covering between 100000 and 4,00O,0O0
acres with its beautiful palms, and num-
boring 250OOO,O0O trees, yielding annually
10, OO0O0O,OOO of cocoanuts.
A recent approximate estimate of the
area cultivated with the cocoanut palm
gave the following result: British India
and dependencies, 100000 Central Amer
lea, 100000; Ceylon, 100000: Eastern Archi-
nelago and colonies, $50, 1000; Java and Su-
matra, 100000; Mauritius, Madagascar,
Seychelles and African coast, 100000; Pa
ciic islands, including Fiji, New Caledo-
MIA, etc, $4,000; Siam and Cochin China,
100000, and West Indies, $4,000
And when Florida shall add her 10000
acres lying south of the 9th parallel of
north latitude, capable of growing 900, 600
trees, we may see at no distant day the
North American cOcOanut demanding no
mean share of commercial attention.
WHERE COCOANUTs GROW.
For many. years. cocoanuts have grown
on the coast of southern Florida, but ow-
ing to an extreme fondness for the green
nuts manifested by those engaged in the
sponge fishing along the coast few nuts
have been allowed to ripen, only sufficient
TO demonstrate that cocoanuts can be raised
for several hundred miles along the coast
of Florida, where the gulf stream flows so
close to the shore The cocoanut industry
in that vicinity has received an impetus of
late. Several northern capitalists have
gone to Florida and embarked in this in
dustry, seeing dixie Col. Sellers millions
in it. Within the past four years over
100000 nuts were planted on the coast of
Florida
Such nuts as are wanted for planting are
gathered into heaps or placed under sheds,
where they are allowed to remain until the
sprout shows itself through the husk.
When planted in regular order holes about
three feet deep and from fifteen to thirty
feet apart are dug. In the hole the nut is
placed with care and covered with about
one foot of soil. The hole is filled gradually
as the sprout grows, until it reaches the
surface, when it is left to itself, requiring
no further attention.
Should the place where the cocoanut is
planted be any great distance from the
seashOre a quantity of salt is sometimes
placed in the hole and sometimes scraps of
old iron, as, being strictly salt water
loving tree, it will thrive but short dis
lance from the seashore, nearness to salt
water being absolutely essential to its
