The Palmetto of the South.

The graceful palmetto, that grows SO
profusely in the lower tier Of the south
crn states, has recently become factor
in the industries of the south, for its
wood is hard enough to carve and it's
fiber is strong enough to make excellent
cordaGe and Il useful substitute for
spongcs. In Jacksonville factory has
been started for the purpose of making
brushes and brooms of the fiber, and
elsewhere sink brushes are being made
of the wood, half of 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 lilSened
10 that Of chcstnuts. Bears knew about
it long before the people did, and it is a
favoritc article of diet among them, the
black bears climbing the trees and
browsing on the fresh shoots as eagerly
as they browse on watermelons.

LlFE'S ASPIRATION.
Arts Proper Place In the Education or
People.

Arts Proper Place In the Education or r
People.
The intellectual aspiration of a pco-
pie cannot in truth be held to be en-
bodied in its literature, whether il be
the prose or poetry of imagination or
the recorded investigation of its philos-
ophers or its scientists, says writer in
Scribncr's Magazine. No matter how
widespread may DC the diffusion of
knowledge, no matter how multiplied
may be the means of instruction, so
that the printed book may be in the
hands Of every citizen, there yet re-
mains the fundamental need of the in
tuitive absorption of I'm intelligence
through the eyes.
Nor is this by any means confined to
him who, having opportunities of edu-
cation placed before him, ncglccts to
avail himself of his privileges; the
student lifts his study-dimmcd eyes
from the printed page and receives
through another sense Il vision which
uplifts him in another, but no less
greater, manner above the momentary
and material accidents of life.
The world has long recognized this
truth, and throughout political vicissi-
tudcs, through social and economic
changes, it had held it to be part of
civilized life, without which it would
retrograde toward the save who, once
his stomach filled, sleeps. France,
where many things are managed bet
ter" has always managed this particu-
larly we'll.
At least from the Gascon king who,
practical spirit, not only wished every
Frcnchman to have his poulc au pot,
but who made his Paris, his France,
beautiful, down to NJ. Carnot, under
whose reign we have seen the new
Sorbonnc built and decorated, the
usefulness of beauty has been recog.
nized.

Capt. +. j. Clifford. of the whal;rr
bark Triton, which arrived in San Fran.
cisco few days ago, told n Chronicle
man the particulars of an Interesting
whale hunt of which he was Il witness.
Inc natives of that region are people Of
low intelligence, their chief employ
mcnt being the capture of inhabitants
OF the waters that wash the Siberian
coast. These people have become cx-
pcrtS i'll the vocation that furnishes
them with the neccSSaricS of life The
story rs told by Capt. Clifford is rs fol-
lows:
1--WE had been lying at anchor for
several days in small and almost land
locked bay, and had done some little
trading with the inhabitants OF Il viii
lagc about half u mile inland. One
morning all hands We're awakened by Il
great hubbub on shore, the cause Of
which WAS the presence of IL school of
sperm whales three or four mile, out
side the harbor. In short time ten
canoes, each containing from six to
eight natives, put off and nadc.traight
toward where an occasional jet of wa
ter marked Tie spot where the biz fell
lows were sporting. was Il good
deal puzzled to know how those fcl-
lows were going to capture one of those
huge animals, which is by no means an
easy prey to the best trained boat's
crew, supplied with all the modern an
plianccs The boats kept close torcth
or and approached the school with
great caution. When within about
whale the canoes scpara tcil. and Us the
big fellow came up to blow they rap

The whale bY this time was lazily roll
ing i'll the trough of the sea, apparent
ly unaware of the approach of his enc
mics. SO well timed was the approach
of the canoes that they wcrc-al within
easy reach of the whale when the lead
or gave the signal to throw the hlr-
poems. In Il moment at least thirty
harpoons were sticking from the shin
ing back of the whale, and the canoes
shot back out OF reach of the biz nulios
in less time than it takes to tell it.
And here comes the strange part of the
performance. Attached to each har-
pooh were about two hundred feet of
line, and on the end of each line were
reindeer skins inflated with air In
one or two instances casks were Mt
tachcd to the lines. You can inarinc
the situation. Here was the whale
with enough buoyS attached TO him 20
float ship, and when he attempted to
sound he would be brought to the sur
face again only to receive :; shower of
hand lanccS from the canoes. The sport
did not last long. and four Eours from,
the time the canoes left the beach

The Sale of a aIustachc.

A mustache is not regarded as mar
lIetable commodity, says London Mil
lion, but a man disposed of his upper
lip ornament the othc' day to beard
less youth who envicd him its posses

cafe, when the youth, in moment Of

fifty shillings for your mustache g"

matte promptitndc, and, calling for a

ing the past week, and while here gave
his experience with last years crop of
potatoes. Having planted quite a plat

fearing they had been touched with

months ago, he offered the entire yield
for Si25 TO anyone who would dig
them up and carry them away. Find
ing no one willing TO close In with the
offer, the captain allowed the potatoes
to remain in the ground until a few
days ago, when he sold the whole crop,
forty tons in all, 10 one purchaser for
$50 a ton, thus netting profit of about
$500, over which the captain Is feeling

KING CAPTURED

New YORK, May 10-The Suns
special from Tocca, Ga, says: A horse
woman dashed down the main street of
the town at about 3 O'Clock yesterday
afternoon and attracted general atten-
ton. The policemen were trying to
head her off and finally one of them
caught the flying horse by the bride
and brought him to halt, but not un-
til the woman had fired a shot and
cried that she would kill the man who
arrested her. The woman was Miss
Fannie Denham. Six months ago it
was understood that Frank Hughes, a
contractor, was to marry Miss Denham.
He changed his mind and eloped with
a l6-year old girl who had attracted his
attention. Miss Denham said the time
would come when Frank would regret
his step and that the girls beauty could
not last always. Miss Denham went
out yesterday on her horse for a ride
and pausing at the Hughes residence
called the young wife out. Miss Den
ham was most gracious and asked her
to drink from a flask which she had,
and to tell her what she thought of the
cider. The offer was declined. Then
Miss Denham asked Mrs. Hughes to
arrange her riding habit for her. While
this was being done Miss Denham
dashed the contents of another bottle
into her face, and putting spurs to her
horse fled down the street. 1t was
vltrioi which she had dashed into the
woman's face, and the result is the loss
Of an eye and the Disagreement of her
whole face and neck. The cider bottle
was found to contain enough arsenic tc
kill anyone, Miss Denham is in Jail.

under arrest. A year ago he was dis
covered in fIauds and debarred from
practice in pension cases. Investiga.
ton by the present administration
shows he had lSS pensions granted,
mostly to illiterate negroes, and that IS
per cent. of them are fraudulent, the
notary's name and seal being forged.
The extent of these frauds is better APP
preciated when it is stated that all
pensions secured carried arrears. The
matter will come up in the United
States court, at Norfolk, Monday. The
frauds probably will reach 100000.
