Cocoanut Culture in Florida.

1t is probable that the cultivation of
the cocoanut for profit will always, in
Florida, be confined to the region on the
Keys and mainland south of the Caloosa-
hatchie river, though the palm will con
tinue to be grown for its great beauty, or
a chance crop of nuts, in protected spots,
even as far north as the latitude of Tampa
and Cape Canaveral The cocoanuts pro
duced in Florida are trihe smaller than
those of the tropics, and are not con-
sidered so valuable for seed, hence most
of those used for planting are procured
from Central America, more especially
from the Bay Islands (Utilla, Bonaco and
Ruatan) and mainland of Honduras.
The nuts that have not sprouted on the
voyage are sometimes planted in nursery
beds and transplanted when o year or
eighteen months old Only small per
cent. fails to terminate, though some
times the sprouts are year or more in
appearing. The distance apart at which
they are planted varies from fifteen to
twenty-five feet; twenty feet is the usual
distance The only cultivation given on
the Keys is the occasional cutting of the
weeds and underground in spring and
fall. There is a popular saying that q
bearing cocoa palm will produce one nut
for each day throughout the year, but
this is a little overdrawn, the best trees
producing about 200 nuts per year

A young man from Omaha who made his
debut in Washington society one evening last
week was chatting with a charming lady,
when the theatre became the topic of CONVEX
sation. He did not know much about the
theatre, so be cautiously maintained as much
brilliant silence as the circumstances per-
mitted.

the stage in operam the lady asked.
"Nn-no.n He was not quite sure but it was
uncomplimentary to the lady to say he had
never heard Of it, but truth was mighty and
did prevail
Yes, " said she cheerily; 81 once played
Katisha-in an amateur company, of course. -
The young man felt relieved. 1t could not
be expected that he had heard of that half
way across a continent.

CuItivating Disease.

The internal organs do not want to
be thought about. A mans stomach is
healthy when he doesn't know he has
one. When we are conscious of the ex-
istence of any internal organ that or
gan is sick. The internal machinery
was intended to do its work uncon-
sciously When we begin to think
about our stomachs digestion is ar
rested. John Hunter said he got govt
by thinking of his great toe. A man
who sits at the table wondering if
baked potatoes will agree with him.
and whether fruits and vegetables are
a good combination, is in fair way to
have trouble with the simplest kind of
food Thinking about the internal or
gans gets them in sort of stage fright,
and they are powerless. Good Health.

Few of tho outside public can have any
idea of the enormous cost OF getting a
railway bill through parliament The
parliamentary surveying and engineering
costs of the Kendall and Windermere
company amounted to a trihe over per
cent on the whole expenditure on the
line OF parliamentary costs the Brighton
railway averaged GA. S06 per mile; Man.
chester and Birmingham. f5. 1870; Black
wall e14.414 These figures are almost
beyond belief, when we consider that
some English lines in favorable positions
cost altogether only 100000 per mile.
The Brighton line for two sessions fought
a desperate battle against several other
companies, and when it's bill came before
the committee the expenses of COUNSEL
and witnesses amounted to over 81 600 a
day. and the discussion Of the measure
lasted fifty days.
The solicitors bill of the Southeastern
railway contained 10000 folios, occupy
ing twelve months in taxations and
amounted to e240000 One company
found such difficulty in getting their bill
through it's preliminary stages that at
last, when they had reached the long de.
sired last stage they had already spent
nearly million of money and this simply
for obtaining the privilege OF making the
railway OF the terrible costs which have
been incurred only to lead to ultimate
failure, one instance will be sufficient.
The discussion upon the Stone and Rugby
bill lasted sixty-six sitting days. from
February till August. 1889, and in the
year 1910 the measure was defeated, after
having resulted in loss of GAG, 000 to
its unhappy promoters.
1t is needless to say that such enormous
expenditure cripples many a railway, and
prevents it's shareholders from ever earn
ing good dividends. The ceaseless
energy. untiring perseverance and neat
diplomacy which have to be shown in
pushing a railway bill to a successful is
sue are almost beyond belief; but it is
much to be desired that some means
should be discovered of keeping down the
expenses which so often go far to ruin a
line even before it has begun working

Speaking of the variety of work done
here by the Chinese, they are employed
in many of the factories They are the
porters and cleaners of the city to a large
extent, and tAey compete with the sewing
girls and the chambermaids. In the
Palace hotel, where | am stopping, the
Chinese seem to do the greater part of
the work, and | see quiet, almond eyed,
yellow skinned men in blue gowns clean
ing here, scrubbing there and brushing in
a third place all over this big house They
do work that an Irish servant girl would
refuse to do, and | saw half dozen of
them today creeping along the narrow
lodges outside the great galleries of the
rotunda washing paint. misstep would
have surely killed them, and you could no
more get negro or an Irish servant girl
to take such risk than you could fly
visited several of the Joss houses here
and watched the Chinese at worship.
They do not seem to be a severely re-
ligious race as far as those in America
are concerned, and the richer among them
have an idol or so of their own whom
they pray to in their own houses. There
are, however, half dozen big Joss houses
here, and each of these has its idols by
the dozen One idol especially worshiped
is the god of medicine, who is repre-
sented as holding golden pill and who
is supposed to be able to cure diseases,
and another also much worshiped is the
god of wealth. The god of wealth is
named Tsoi Poh Shing Koun, and as all
of the Chinese in this country have come
here to make their fortunes, he never
lacks votaries The worshipers bring
him offerings of food, tea and wine, and
the incense always burns before him.
The Chinese worship here without cere-
mony. They chat together as they pray
and often do not take their cigars or pipes
out of their mouths while going through
their forms of worship.-San Francisco

A Novel Social Entertainment.

Another novelty in the line of social
entertainment is what might be called
the reminiscent lecture. 1t was invented.
I believe, by lady of excellent family,
advanced in years and impoverished by
financial misfortunes, but whose social
position is beyond assault. She has
added considerably to her income by de-
livering drawing room talks upon her re-
collections of American society in the past,
to subscribers, at $40 a course, out Of the
ranks of the society of the present. Now
and then, when she stops to take breath,
pianist plays an air adapted to the oc-
casion This performer is her only ex-
pense, and as pianists are cheap just now,
he cannot cut deeply into the lecturers
profits. At any rate. her gains during
the past winter seem to have been tempt
ing enough to induce others to enter the
lists, and several are mentioned who will,
during the season to come, inform us
what the antecedents of Mr. MGAllister's
select clan used to say and do in the good
old times before the war. To Judge from
the couple of lectures that | listented to
last winter, society in the past was neither
as lively nor as interesting as that of to-
day, though it was certainly dull enough
to be more respectable

To Tow Wheat to Europe.

man in Duluth has an invention
which he thinks will cheaper by half
the cost of transporting grain and lumber
from the northwest to Europe. In his
idea there are suggestions of the Leary
raft, canal boat, and a torpedo boat.
His plan is to make cigar shaped cylin
ders of steel. which are to be loaded in
Duluth with grain, sealed up. taken in
tow through the lakes to Buffalo, through
the Erie canal to Albany down the Hud-
son, and over to Liverpool, without once
breaking bulk
One of these shells is now on the stocks
at Duluth, and it will be sent to Liverpool
as soon as it is tested and the necessary
contracts for towing are made. 1t is likely
though, that more than one shell will be
built before an experimental trip across
the ocean is made, as. it would not be a
complete experiment. nor would it pay to
take over only one shell. The shells are
made as large as the locks of the Erie ca
nal will permit That is the limit to the
size of any vessel bound from Duluth to

Degeneration Of the Human Teeth.

The law of retardation exhibits itself
in the teeth of the higher races of mankind
in highly inconvenient manner The
greatly developed brain requires all tue
available room in the skull, there is no
space left for the attachment of muscles
for a powerful jaw. Cooked food also
causes degeneracy in the development
of the jaw There is constantly no room
left for either the wisdom teeth or the
second upper incisors; the wisdom teeth
are retarded, often cause great pain, and
decay early. The second incisors appear
in startling and unexpected places, and
often lin America especially do not cut
the gum at all. Professor Cope says that
american dentists have observed that
the third molar teeth wisdom teeth) are
in natives of the United States very liable
to imperfect growth or suppression, and
to a degree entirely unknown among saw
age or even many civilized races"
The same suppression has been observed
in the outer pair of superior incisors.
This is owing not only to a reduction in
the size of the arches of the Jaws, but to
successfully prolonged delay IN the ap.
pearance of the teeth. In the same way
men, and the man like apes. have fewer
teeth than the lower monkeys, and these
again fewer than the insectivorous mann
mails to which they are most nearly allied
When this difference in dentition has
been established. civilized man may claim
to place himself in a new species, apart
from low savages as well as from high
apes.-Mrs. Alice Bodington in Popular
Science Monthly.

Rag-Carpet Weaving.

The industry of weaving old fashioned
rag carpets is fast disappearing. This
trade was among the most lucrative and
important known few decades ago.
The men who still follow it can be
found only in Easements in out-of-the-
way places. Brooklyn was at one time
a sort of centre for the industry, and
weavers could be counted by the score.
Now only eight are known to follow it.
One of these is James Early, who still
works his quaint old machine in base
ment On one of Drool1lyn's side streets,
where it was set up about forty-flve
years ago.

and I'm to make her carpet out of

carpet is worth fifty cents yard. Some
weavers will turn out chenp cotton
warp for twenty five cents, but in short
time the top will wear off and the rags
become loose. A linen warp will last
forever. Improved machinery has killed
our business almost absolutely, and with
ingrains running from twenty five cents

at as low figure as sixty-five cents,
there is no use trying to put the good,
durable, soft rag carpet in the market at
fifty cents. If it were not for the house.
