N.ted Americans Who Havo Served In
Both Capacities.
n ia singular that most Of oiir popular
foreign ministers have been literary
men. Washington Irving, says the New
York Herald, did famous work In Spain,
and Bayard Taylor was the most popu-
lar American minister Germany ever
had. w. d. Howells got his literary
start when he was consul to Venice, ana
Julian Hawthorne wrote some OF ms
hast works when he had consular po-
sition in England. Elihu B. Washburne
kent a diary while he was minister TO
Paris. and his story Of the siege OF that
city during the Franco-Prussian war is
the most interesting book which has
been published on the subject. Joel
Renton, the author Of the "Columbiad,
was minister to Russia, and Sam Coxs
"Diversions of Diplomat" is one OF the
best books published on Turkey. Sew
eral OF our foreign ministers are now
engaged in the preparation Of books
about the countries with which they
have been connected. Andrew Curtin
who.was minister to Russia, will have
an interesting chapter or two concern
ino his experiences there in his mem
o;rs. which he Is writing at Belle
fonte. Pa, and Gen. DENLY, who TO
the last eight years has been ministe
TO Pelsin, has the material for an excel
lent book on China and the Chinese
Jacob Childs, of Missouri, who was mir
ister to Siam under Cleveland, has
hook on that country in the course 9
preparation. BY all odds the best boo
ever published on China was that G
Wells Williams, who went to that cour
try as a missionary. but was connecte
with our diplomatic service for years.

Tn. Palmetto of tho south.

The graceful palmetto, that grows 50
profusely in the lower tier Of the south
ern states, has recently become factor
in the industries Of the south, for its
wood is hard enough to carve and Its
fiber is strong enough to make excellent
cordage and a useful substitute for
sponRes. 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 q
salad that the people are beginning to
appreciate, and the taste of 1t Is hkened

It long before the people did, and 1t is

black bears climbing the trees and
browsing ON the fresh shoots as eagerly
as they browse on watermelons.

BIRD SONG.

By IL the Feathered Race Depicts Love
and Passion.
The gift of bird song is largely mas.
culine prerogative, an expression OF
tender sentiment by which the atfec-
ton of the opposite sex may be attract
ed and retained. Indeed the birds fur
nish no exception to the sweeping as
sertion that "tis love that gives the
kew to all earth's music" They sing
from love and happiness, says one;
from love and rivalry, another asserts;
while Joy and buoyancy of spirits are
said by third authority to be answer
able for their music. That most OF the
species sing best in the spring is we'll
known, the motive that Is responsible
for the general outpour Of song being
n result Of its influences; they are hap
py to be at home again in the old
haunts, to be surrounded by plenty and
10 feel the matchless sweetness OF re-
turning springtime.
One of the most delightful OF oui
American essayists believes all birds tc
be incipient or would-be songsters ther
that even the hen has homely, con
tented carol-and he credits the ow
with a desire to ill the night will
music. The light of love within tn
little birds heart is brightest at tha
season and overflows and illumines hi
song. ''Thc language OF passion keep
time to the hearts rhythm" until tn
full beauty of the flower Of love
reached in the thousands Of beautifr
homes about us.
Undoubtedly they sing at times fo
very Joy, Just as we go singing aoou
our work because our hearts are hgf
and happy, and the song sings itsel
we have only TO listen to it.
