The graceful palmetto, that grows $

THE graceful palmetto, that grows so
profusely in the lower tier of the South
ern States, has recently become a factor
in the indutries of the South. for its wood
is hard enough TO carve and its fibre is
strong enough to make excellent cordage
and useful substitute for sponges. In
Jacksonville, Fla, factory has started
for the purpose of making brushes and
brooms of the fibre, and elsewhere sink
brushes are being made of the wood,
halfof whose thickness is being converted
into bristling points. The young leaves
of the tree make salad that the people
are beginning to appreciate and the taste
of it is lilened to that of chestnuts
Bears knew about itlong before the peo-
pie did, and it is favorite article of
diet among them, the black bears
climbing the trees and browsing on the
fresh shoots as eagerly as they browse
on watermelon.

The Horse.

In France when a horse reaches the
age of twenty or thirty, it is destined for
a chemical factory; it is first relived OF
its hair, which is used to stuff cushions
and sapples; then it is skinned; the
hoofs serve to make combs.
Next the carcase is placed in a cylin-
der and cooked by steam at pressure
Of three atmospheres; cock is opened,
which lets the steam run off; then the
remains arc cut up, the leg bones are
sold to make knife handles, ETC., and the
coarser, the ribs, the head, ETC., are made
into animal black and glue.
The first are calcined in cylinders, and
the vapors, when condensed, form the
chief source Of carbonate of ammonia,
which constitutes the base of nearly all
the ammoniacal salts.
There is an animal oil yielded which
makes capital insectitude and vermi-
fuge.
The bones, to make glue, are dissolved
in muriatic acid, which takes the phos-
pilates of lime away: the soft element,
retaining the shape of the bone, is dis
solved in boiling water, cast into squares
and dried on nets.
The phosphate Of lime, acted upon by
sulphuric acid and calcined with carbon,
produces phosphorus for our lucifer
matches.
The remaining flesh is distilled to OBJ
tain the carbonate of ammonia, the re-
sulting mass is pounded up with potash.
then mixed with old nails and iron of
every description; the whole is calcined
and yields magnificent yellow crystals
prussiate of potash, with which tissues
are dyed Prussian blue and iron trans
ferred into steel; it also forms the
cyanide of potassium and prussic acid,
the two most terrible poisons known in
chemistry.

Curious Laws.

Georgia, it is said, has on its statutes
several curious old laws, which, though
obsolete, have never been repealed. One
of these was obviously passed to pre-
vent the colonist being taken by surprise
by Indians or other assailants. 1t reads
that no male person shall go to church
on Christmas or Easter day, or any 9TH
er days of public worship, without car
rying a gun or brace of pistols, with six
rounds of powder and ball, under a pen
atty of ten shillings. The law also says
that the church warden or wardens must
search all persons who come hither that
they have no arms displayed and see
whether or not these are about their per-
son. A failure on the part of the war
den to do this within Is minutes from
the first appearance of the person or per-
sons at the church shall make them liza
BILE to fine of Is shillings. This law
first passed the General Assembly of the
State in l777.

CHAPTER III.
JEWELLERS IN THE WILDERNESS.

DwELLERS IN THE WILDERNESS.
How deeply are our destinies influenced
by the most trifing causes! Had the un-
known builder who erected and owned
these new villas contented himself by
simply building each within its own
grounds it is probable that these three
small groups of people would have re-
msined hardly conscious of each others
existence, and that there would have
been no opportunity for that action and
reaction which is here set forth. But
there was a common link to bind them
together. To single himself out from
all other Norwood builders the landlord
had devised and laid out common lawn
tennis ground. which stretched behind
the houses with taut stretched net, green
close cropped sward and widespread
whitewashed lines.
Hither in search of that hard exercise
which Is as necessary as air or food to
the English temperament came young
Hay Denver when released from the toll
Of the city. Hither, too, came DR.. Walk
er and his two fair daughters, Clara and
Ida, and hither also, champions Of the
lawn, came the short skirted, muscular
widow and her athletic nephew. Ere the
summer was gone they knew each other
In this quiet nook as they might not
have done after years of sitter and
more formal acquaintance.
And especially to the admiral and the
doctor were this closer intimacy and
companionship of value. Each had a
void in his life, as every man must have
who with unexhausted strength steps
out of the great race, but each of his So
ciety might help to fill up that Of his
neighbor. It is true that they had not
much In common, but that is sometimes
an aid rather than bar to friendship.
Each had been an enthusiast in his pro-
fession and had retained all his interest
In it.
The doctor still read from cover to
cover his Lancet and his Medical Jour-
nal, attended all professional gatherings,
worked himself into an alternate state of
exaltation and depression over the re-
suits Of the election of officers and re-
served for himself den Of his own, in
which before rowe of little round bot
ties full Of glycerin, Canadian balsam
and staining agents he still cut sections
with microtome and peeped through
his long brass old fashioned microscope
at the arcana Of nature. With his typ
ical face, clean shaven on lip and chin,
with firm mouth, strong jaw,
steady eye and two little white fuffs of
whiskers, he could never be taken for
anything but what he was-a high class
British medical consultant of the age of
90, or perhaps just year or two older.
The doctor in HE heyday had been
cool over great things, but now in his re-
tirement he was fussy over trifes. The
man who had operated without the quiv-
er Of finger when not only his patients
life but his own reputation and future
were at stake was now shaken to the
soul by mislaid book or a careless maid.
He remarked it himself and knew the
reason. when Mary was alive he
would say, "she stood between me and
the little troubles. could brace myself
for the big ones. My girls are as good
as girls can be, but who can know q man
