THE SUGAR PALM.

to count them, but after counting
several hundred thousand, and more
than half remaining uncounted, The
task was given up.
What 'larks' it must be for children
when ''sapping'' time and "sugaring
off" come round! But the Chillans do
not collect the sap in the way the New
England farmers collect sap from the
maple tree. No; instead of boring
small holes in the trunk the palm is
cut down and beheaded of it's crown OF
beautiful leaves, and then the sap be-
gins to flow from the upper end and
keeps on flowing for months. Every
morning thin slice is cut off to pre-
vent the wood from hardening and
forming a crust through which the sap
could not flow
A good tree will yield nearly 100 gal
Ions of sap. A very queer thing is the
fact that the sap will not run if the
tree lies with its head downwards 1t
will only run upwards!-St. Louis Re-

camp mule. The mule wasied down
to the hole, chain fastened to him
and the pole, and the frightened an
imal was started.
There was a creaking of chains, a
roar, and an alligator fully seven feet
in length came out with a rush, as
the mule started on a wild run for the
road.
The saurian's teeth were sunl1en so
deeply in the pole that he could not re-
lease himself, and away went mule,
pole and all. The alligator spun
round, kissing like steam engine;
but he held on, while the mule, think
ing himself pursued, snorted and ran.
We followed. Into the main street of
Ocala flew the mule and his queer
load. Completely exhausted, he was
stopped by party of men near the
post Office.
The gator was dead We skinned
and stuffed him. The mule recovered,
but the sight of a swamp now throws
him into perfect frenzy of terror.

LATE WINTER STYLES.
A Glimpse of Spring Fashions Seen in tn
Modes of To-day.


The overskirt has come to stay, and
it begins to look as if we should have
a revival of the regular paniers by
next spring, the short boutfant drapery
on the hips showing itself in more and
more pronounced fashion on the i'm
ported dresses. This and the apparent
seamless and dartless simplicity of the
new waists which are drawn in folds
to a point well below the waist a la
Bernhart this famous actress having
a particular prediction for this cut)
seem to be the newest features of the
present mode.
For evening dresses-that is to say,
ball and reception gowns-the skirts
are becoming more and more studied,
and are really fearfully and wonder
fully made in their ella alteration. Much
too labored'' is the verdict of good
taste. This criticism, however, does
not apply to the ball dresses of young
girls, which are miracles of simplicity
and freshness.
A pretty house dress for girl of
fourteen or fifteen is of navy blue storm
serge. cut zen surplice," over Il gath
cred front and collar of dark red crepe,
the upper part of the sleeves being of
the serge in three puffs, one falling
over the other, and the tight lower
part of the red. A pretty and novel
feature of the dress is the plain skirt,
which is gathered around the wesst
with draw-string like a bag, with a
little heading at the top, the folds of
course being distributed SO as to hang
gracefully.
1t is already predicted that ermine
will have but short lease of popular
favor. The cause of this is that ermine
is not becoming nor an especially
pretty fur, and its long use as lining
for judicial robes does not tend to in
crease its popularity with fashionable
women. The value of ermine is prob
ably overestimated. The new shapes
of ermine mutf and boa are exactly the
shapes of those worn forty years ago,
when ermine was fashiona BILE fur.
So those who have been fortunate
enough to inherit ermine sets of long
ago may use them exactly as they are.
In England furriers are going so far as
to face and trim their sealskin jackets
with ermine, but such snowy garni-
lures have never met with favor in this
country. The sealsl1in jacket which
is in the best form is still the Tin
untrimmed coat.
The most elegant way of us
mine is in combination with rio
for the garniture of evening wraps and
for lining them. A beautiful cape OF
the Medici type in the new pink shade
Of heliotrope which is a compromise in
color between the rose magenta tints
and violet of last season, was lined and
faced with ermine and finished at the
high collar and around the numerous
collarettes that covered the shoulder
with Flanders lace.-BOston Trav-
eller.

TIE SUGAR PALM.

a South American Tree Which Produces
Lots of Sap.
The sugar maple of New England has
a rival.
1t grows in the Andes of Chilli st a
height of from 5000 to 4,500 feet above
the sea. 1t is a curious variety of that
most useful, wonderful tree, the palm,
whose varieties also give us dates, and
coco, and cocoanuts, and fans.
This palm is not slim and graceful
like most kinds we see in tropical pic
lures. 1t is about fifty feet tall, with
a very thick trunk, enlarging in diam
eter from the ground up to about half
its height, and then tapering again to
the top, where its long leaves spread
out.
These sugar palms produce great
quantities of sweet sap, which, when
boiled down, makes both molasses and
sugar of a peculiar but delicious flavor.
On one estate the trees grew in such
numbers that once it was determined

To Clean Carpets at Home.

It Is often the case that accidents
happen when one is far away from
cleaners, or when perchance the car
pet may not be worth the expense of
professional services, but would be eX-
tremely useful if put in good order. A
simple and effectual means of cleaning
is to rip the breadths apart, if the car
pet is large; take one breadth at a
time over common kitchen table or
wide board and scour with prepared
soapsuds if necessary, or naptha. If
that substance is to be used, scrub the
carpet thoroughly with an ordinary
scrub brush. If the washing is done
with soapsuds, it is well to rinse the
carpet thoroughly, which may be done
by throwing on pailfuls of water and
scrubbing it out with the brush to rid
the fabric of the suds as nearly as may
be. If the carpet shows symptoms of
FADING or if the colors threaten to run,
it is quite worth while to go over it
again and again with the brush and
y til soft cloths and remove the water
as rapidly as possible, meanwhile hav-
ing the broad table tipped at an angle
so as to allow all surplus water to
drain away as quickly as it can. This
is rather slow work and hard work;
but if well done, the result will be a
carpet entirely cleaned, perfectly
wholesome and quite good enough for
an upper room or for the rugs and
pieces that are required in every house.

UP In THE CLASSICS.
A Young Limb of the Law Who Was
Called Down.


Called Down.
AS the school days recede the class
ical learning of early years is more
than apt to fade upon the canvas Of
memory. But there is one judge in
New York who, either by the strength
of his recollection or the refreshing of
his college studies keeps alive his
knowledge of Horace and Homer Vir-
gil and Xenophon.
One day recently Judge Abraham R.
Lawrence, of the supreme court, was
sitting in chambers, hearing an in
junction case involving a cigarette
that has as its patron an Egyptian
deity. Complainant and respondent
were both Greeks.
Noticing the Hellenic name of the
plaintiff the judge remarked: He ap-
pears to be a Greek"
For that matter, you honor, both
parties litigant are Greeks" replied
one of the attorneys, bright young
lawyer, fresh from his academic grove
"It is case of Greek meeting Greek -"
II don understand the relevancy of
your observation" returned the Judge
''Why, surely, your honor is familiar
with that familiar quotation" said
counsel a little airily.
The Judge was slightly nettled by
this reflection on his learning. Young
man." said he, perhaps you had bet
ter renew your acquaintance with your
'Anabasis' This is case where Greek
is opposed to Greek. The quotation
You are attempting to cite reads, When
Greek joins with Greek then comes a
tug of war. '''-N Y Herald.

IoKeep Flowers in the House.

A tiny garden can be made by cut
ting piece of sheet wadding to fit the
top of a bowl or wide-mouthed jar,
which is filed with water just high
enough for the bottom of the wadding
to touch. Two or three small bits of
charcoal will keep the water pure and
when all is arranged the top of the
wadding is sprinkled with seeds of
mignonette, sweet pea or any other
easily grown plant. The roots pierce
down through the wadding and are
nourished by the water, while leaves
and blossoms in reasonable time con-
ceal the top. There is but one flower
more beautiful than the morning glory
on tke outside of the bay window, and
that is a morning glory trained up on
the inside of the window and in full
bloom while the winter storms are
raging and the thermometer is below
zero They can be grown with very
little trouble. e.-Kansas City Times.

but he had made up his mind to have
one, so he concluded that he would
start to manufacture one. In his part
of the country the roads are as smooth
as concrete pavements, and John had
often pictured himself passing along
on his silent steed, leaving the fast
horses in the rear. His cash did not
increase in proportion to his desire for
a wheel, and SO out there on the farm
in the mountainous country he went
into his fathers shop and started to
construct a racer. He worked early
and late, until he had finished the con-
struction of the wheel, and now he is
seen on the road trying to keep pace
with some of the riders of pneumatic
tired iron horses. The entire wheel,
with the exception of an old iron tire
from a carriage wheel, was made by
the boy. The rear wheel was made of
a solid piece of oak, while the handle

And then I'd wish for golden hair and beautiful

Royal Buckwheats.

For generations it has been the Gus
tom to mix the batter for buckwheat
cakes with yeast or emptyings, retain
ing a portion of the batter left over
from one morning to raise the cakes
for the following day.
If kept too warm, or not used prompt
ly, this batter becomes excessively sour
and Objectionable. Buckwheat cakes
raised by this means are more often
sour or heavy than light and sweet. II
eaten daily they distress the stomach
and cause skin eruptions and itching.
Instead of the old-fashioned way we
have been making buclkwheat cakes
this winter with Royal Baking Powder,
mixing the batter fresh daily, and find
the result wonderfully satisfactory.
They are uniformly light and sweet,
more palatable and wholesome, and
can be eaten continuously without the
slightest digestive inconvenience. Be-
