An Indian To-day Palm.

The Phoenix sylvestris, or Wild Date
Palm, of India, thrives there in almost
any soil or situation, and lives in dryer
regions than other Indian Palms. 1t is
perfectly hardy in Florida and very fast
growing. ultimately attaining height of
forty feet. Won Mueller states that
where this Palm abounds, much Sugar
is obtained from it by evaporation of the
sap, which flows from incisions into the
upper part of the trunk-a process not
sacrificing the plant, as for fifty years
the sap can thus be withdrawn. This
Palm-sugar consists almost entirely of
Cane sugar. Each plant furnishes the
Juice for about eight pounds ofdate-sugar
annually, but in some instances much
more. About SO. 900 tons of sugar year
are produced in Bengal alone from this
and some other Palms. A kind of arrack
is obtained by fermentation and distilla
tion of this sap. and also from the young
spikes. w. Goldring writes to The Gar
deners' Chronicle the following Inherent
ing account of this Palm, illustrated by
a cut showing native drawing toddy
from one of the trees:
A familiar and perhaps, to some people,
a mOnotOnOus feature in Indian scenery,
particularly along the coast region of
Western India, are the groves of Phoenix
sylvestris, one of the toddy Palms, the
commonest of the wild Palms of the
country, but most valuable one to the
natives. 1t is frequently seen in COM
pany with another noble Palm, Borassus
fabelliformis, the Palmyra, and these,
together with the Cocoanut Palm, which,
in the neighborhood of Bombay, is Guilt
waited in extensive plantations, comprise
the chief elements of that striking tropi-
cal scenery which always impresses trav-
elers from northern regions when they
first see it. This Phoenix does not differ
materially in aspect from the Date Palm
of Egypt, P. dactylifera, which one sees
on the way out; and my impression is
that the Date Palm, as we'll as such
Phenixes as P. rupicola, tenuis, acaulis,
canariensis, and possibly others, are but
geographical forms Of widely distrib-
uted species, having range almost as
extensive as that of the Cocoanut Palm.
Be this as it may. they all seem to me
very much alike, and from my point of

Floral Chat, No. 4.


I am so we'll pleased with some of my
late floral successes that am inclined
to write again, and will try and give a
pen-plcture of my bouquet border as l
sometimes term it.
Many of us in this climate know the
Importance of partial shade, or pro-
lection, from the direct rays of the sum-
mer sun, for many of our flowers. So,
realizing this, early in the spring ar
ranged a plan and went to work. had
four sE1all posts about five feet high,
set in the ground in two rows four feet
apart and the posts twice as far apart
in the rows; and over the top was fast
ened a net work of cords. I planted
English Ivy to grow al the posts, and
now it is fast covering the top with it's
lovely green foliage. About midway
have growing large Spider Plant and
around this, masses of Petunia, Star
Phlox, Verbenas in variety, Znnias and
Four O'clocks.

look out from my dining room window
on this bright spot and enjoy the sight
more than I can express.
On the opposite side have a bed of
Lilies in variety. Some of the Spider
and some of the Milk and Wine are dis
playing great beauty at this time, and
close by my bed of Gladioii are opening
and displaying their lovely colors, to
my wonder and delight. My cotton
plants are also gro wing wondrously,
and have been a source of much amuse-
ment as some of us had never before
seen cotton growing. I think we will
have cotton picking ere long.

see my Cattley Guavas they would say
we must love the fruit. have them all

with fruit. We have one of the largest
Fig trees ever saw, and one that is an
oddly and something of humbug and
would like for some one to tell me the
name OF it. In growth it is quite Wig
orous, and is constantly putting on fruit
which remains green for months and
never gets really ripe. I am told they
are nice preserved and shall try few.
When the proper season arrives [
would like to exchange some cuttings
from it for cuttings of the Lemon Fig.

I am much in love with my surround
ings, and confess am. Florida peo-
pie, as rule, think they have just the

ldentlcaI with the species named.
The Palm now illustrated is not the only
one that yields toddy, as there are sew
eral in India from which the enticing
juice can be drawn, notably the Palmyra,
Cocoanut and Wine Palm (Caryota urens)
but in Guzerat the Phoenix yields the
bulk of the enormous quantity of toddy
that is consumed by the natives. Teddy
drawing is, in fact, an important indus
try, and moreover q source Of revenue
to the government, as tax is imposed
upon every tree in full yield, and to which
an official number is attached. A large
plantation of Phoenix is valuable prop
erty, for the owners assess their value at
from five to fifteen rupees a tree. If
plantation is near town or a group Of
villages, or near frequented highway.
the drawing and distribution of toddy is
always active, and keeps several people
busy. The mode of drawing is admira-
bly, shown in the picture. The toddy
man is in the act of fixing a "chattie"
at the mouth of a notch that has pre-
viously been made in the succulent part
OF the stem, the incision being made so
that the descending sap trickles into the
vessel, few strips of reed being placed
so as to conduct the juice more readily.
The chatties are emptied morning and
evening, and, as they hold a quart or
more, a great quantity of sap is extracted
from each tree during the season; and
the loss tells materially on the health of
ton were to continue year after year,
the tree would soon die from exhaustion.
After tree has been tapped full sea-
son, it is allowed to rest for two or three
seasons, and that accounts for the inter-
Yals of the scars on the trunk, as may
be seen in tue picture where the man
has his LETT foot and the scar lower down.
The toddy drawer is possessed of sur
prising agility in climbing the perpen
dicular stems, which he does with the
utmost ease, the only support being the
rope he has fastened round his waist,
which leaves his hands free. The fluid
thus obtained is of the consistency OF
watered milk, and has a sweetish, and
to some Europeans an agreeable taste,
while to others it is nauseating. When
freshly drawn it is most refreshing, and
to quaf bowl of it when excessively
thirsty is one of the pleasantest incidents
in Indian life. When, however, it is al
lowed to ferment, which it quickly does,
it is sour and unpleasant, and becomes
as Intoxicating as Scotch nectar, but in
this state it obviously finds more favor
with the natives.
AS garden plant, the wild Phoenix
is of great value for landscape effect
when it occurs in natural groups, for in
these you see are gradations of size, from
the small seeding to the decrept old
trees, that have reached the length of
their days, and lean leewards in most
picturesque way. The bluish-gray-gree
tint of grove of Phoenix is perhaps too
somber, but in garden one can always
introduce variety as aforeground, o. in
termixed in the group. 1t is a singular
fact that the date bearing Palm does not
thrive successfully in India, so as to pro-
dUce edible fruit, and that ofP. sylvestris
is valueless as food, though the leaves
and stems, and the fiber and bark ther3-

MINOR NOTES.

The assessors estimate that Boston S
population is about 100000. The census
returns of 1890 gave the city only 446, ,5O7.
The surprising event of the week in
newspaper circles has been the New York
Recorders declaration in favor of the free
coinage of silver.
The supreme court of Rhode Island has
rendered decision in the legislative con-
troversy in that state sustaining the posi-
tion of the Republicans.
Commander Doty of the department of
Vermont, G. A. R., has issued an address
to the Vermont veterans, urging as many of
them as possible to attend the national en-
campment at Indianapolis. Sept. to 8.
The sword which Ethan Allen carried at
the taking of Fort Ticonderoga during the
Revolutionary war has been offered to the
government to be placed with similar rel
les in the national museum. The sword
is now in the possession of Hannibal A.
Hopkins of Lansing, Mich.
The railroad rates between Fabyan's and
the summit of Mount Washington have
been reduced from So to 81 for the round
trip, and the proprietors of the Summit
House have also lowered their prices. The
changes were made on account of the dull
season.
Dr. Warner, the corset manufacturer of
Bridgeport, Conn, has provided free board
for all the girls who are thrown out of
work by the curtailment of operations in
his factory and announces his purpose to
continue this benefaction while the bust
ness depression lasts.
Mr.. A. S. Niche, who is at the head of
the Royal bank of Scotland at Glasgow,

Forum the organization and the practical
workings of the Scottish banking system
"a system that plants bank in every
small community and that helps every man
of industry and character with capital.
B. H. Hutchinson, familarly known as
"Old Hutch, sold his membership in the
Chicago board of trade last Saturday as the
only means of tiding him over pinch in
wheat deal. The membership, which was
issued to him 26 years ago, brought only
5000, and the proceeds are the last remnant
of fortune once estimated at SIS, 100000.
DIR. Coley of the New York cancer hos
pital believes that he has made an import
ant discovery in regard to the treatment of
that disease. Marked improvement took
place in a cancer patient who was accident
ally inoculated with erysipelas, and similar
improvement has followed in several cases
since inoculated with the virus of erysip-
elias.
A case is being tried in one of the courts
of the city of Mexico, which, it is safe to
say, has never had its parallel in this land
of newspapers. A small weekly newspa-
per published the advertisement of a busi-
ness house, and the results were, as ex-
pected, an increase of business for that
concern. But another firm in the same
line of business sued the paper for dam
ages, alleging that it has suffered material
ly through the publication of its rivals ad-
vertisement.

the tribunal mean practically the end of
pelagic sealing, which is the main point for
which the United States has contended as
the only means of preventing the ultimate
determination of the seal herds. The
terms, moreover, are decidedly more favor
able to the United States than Great Brit
ain has ever been willing to concede as
settlement of the questions involved.
Justice John NJ. Harlan, one of the ar
biters on the part of the United States, says
that the general result of the arbitration
was far in advance of anything that the
United States had demanded. Hon. f. j.
Phelps, counsel for the United States, said
81 regard it as favorable to the United
States, and as giving us all that the gov
ernment requires"
Under this decision the United States
will have to pay damages to the Canadian
sealers that were seized, or kept off the
sealing grounds, while the arbitration was
in progress.

MIR. Vests Rhetoric.

Some of Senator Vests illustrations, in
his speech raining furious denuncations on
what he calls Mr.. Clevelands demand for
monometallism, were picturesque" even
though their cogency might not be admit
ted by men of eastern views. He said, for
instance:
Suppose we were called upon today to
pass law stopping the factories of New
England, what protests would we hear
from that section? Suppose we were call
ed upon to strike down the wheat culture
of Dakota and of the Red river of the
North, would we not expect to hear pro-
tests against it? If l were here from one
of the silver-pToducing states l would
fight the demonetization of silver as l
fought the Force bill, because it involves
all that those people should hold dear in
the way of property rights and of the COM
forts of life. know what these
people have endured, leaving the comforts
of what was then civilization in the east
ern and middle states, and going out, with
rife in one hand and pick in the other,
blazing the pathway of civilization in the
cahons of the Rocky mountains. They
have built up the silver-mining industry on
the faith pledged to them by the people of
the United States in its constitution and
laws, that the product of those mines shall
be considered as a money metal. And we
are now asked, through the financial -Four
Hundred of New York and the CONNER
cial classes of England, to betray these
people and to say to them: Find some
thing else to do. We want gold, gold,
gold "
An easy answer to this sort of talk
would seem to be that the United States
government doesn't pledge itself to buy
the manufactured products of the East, or
the wheat of the Northwest, but both have
to stand on their own merits, and the pub
lie demand, just as silver ought to do.

A Satisfactory Arbitration.
From the New York Tribune.l

lfTom tue New 1ork IrlOune.l
The Bering sea decision has been receiv-
ed with satisfaction on both sides of the
Atlantic. This is an unerring indication
that the arbitration has been a drawn
game, in which each contestant has practi-
cally won the case. The main issue with
Great Britain as a maritime power was the
freedom of large bodies of water. The ar
bitratOrs have ruled against the principle
of exclusive jurisdiction, whether grounded
upon the Russian cession or property
rights in seal herd whose breeding places
were American shingles of beach. Eng
land secures her main contention, and her
counsel have the satisfaction of knowing
that they made out their case. The Unit
ed States, on the other hand, have obtain
ed their chief objective point in the pro-
lection of the herd which was menaced
with destruction. They were not success
full in obtaining decision in their favor
on the abstract questions of Jurisdiction or
property rights involved in article 6. But
they have secured a substantial victory in
the regulations which are established for
the preservation of the seal.

1t is because the ravages of the yellow
fever in the South have been so great in
other years, that the report of the exis-
tence of two cases of it in Pensacola last
week raised panic that extended from the
Potomac to the Rio Grande, caused the
Pensacolians to take to flight, and led to
their exclusion from nearly every place to
which they fed. 1t was only five years ago
that two cases of the disease were discov-
cred there, and in few days afterward
the disease was epidemic throughout the
city. The cases numbered 1000 in three
months, and there were 429 deaths. The
sum of S4S6000 was expended in provid-
ing hospitals and nurses, large portion of
which was contributed by the people of
other cities. There have been yellow fever
epidemics in other southern cities in recent
years. In 1876 there were 1247 deaths
from this disease in Savannah. In 1873
the deaths numbered 3977, and in the same
year there were 1900 yellow fever deaths in
Memphis. Charleston, Mobile, New Or
leans and Galveston also suffered severely
Fortunately there has been no spread of
the disease in Pensacola, and there is some
doubt whether this were genuine yellow
fever. Two cases have occurred at Bruins
wich, Ga, brought there by ship from
Cuba or Brazil
