The CncoanI1t Tree.

'The natives of Ceylon, said Cyrus
T. Minis Of Syracuse, ''have super
stition that the cocoanut tree will not
grow out of the sound of a human
voice, and it is only near the towns
and villages that these trees are
found. 1t is so sure an index that if
lost in the jungle the sight of a single
cocoanut palm towering above the
other foliage is in Ceylon a never
failing landmark to tell you that a
village is at hand It stands at the
head of all trees in its usefulness to
the natives, every part of the leaves,
stem and fruit being put to use.
''These are a few of the countless
uses of this invaluable tree: The
leaves are used for roofing, for bas-
kets, fuel and fodder for the cattle;
the stem of the leaf for fences, Jokes
for carrying burdens on the shout
ders and numerous domestic utensils;
the sap for making vinegar and sug-
ar; the uniformed nut for medicine
and sweetmeats; the young nut for
drinking and dessert; the oil for
rheumatism, for amounting the hair,
for soap and candles; the shell Of the
nut for drinking cups, spoons, bot
ties and knife handles; the fiber
which envelopes the shell within the
outer husk for mattresses, cushions,
ropes, etc.; the trunk for rafters,
boats, furniture and frewood, and
when very young the first shoots are
used as vegetable for the table. y

Facts About Asparagus.

Asparagus, deservedly a favorite
vegetable, was extensively cultivated
by the ancient Romans, but was not
introduced into England before 1860
In some parts of Europe the seeds are
used as substitute for coffee, and a
spirituous liquor is made from the
ripe berries Asparagus is both lithic
and diuretic, and its roots used to be
extensively used in medicine. The
-"A',ng, tender sprouts or stems, from
Z 81 70 10 ~ r,-''ss long, are the edible
parts, and those tn4U 4
green are the most tender and uell-
cate. The white asparagus is, as a
rule, very tough, the tips alone being
eatable. In some old recipe books
directions are given for boiling as
paragus one hour, but this is a great
or 80 minutes is LONG
enough to cook it sufficiently-but
there was one suggestion worth fol
lowing. Instead of cutting off the
white parts it advised that they be
broken, saying that if they were too
tough to break they were unfit to

1inco1n,s Reflections on Niagara.

But still there is more. 1t calls up
the indefinite past. When Columbus
first sought this continent, when
Christ suffered on the cross, when
Moses led Israel through the Red sea
nay, even when Adam first came
from the hand Of his Maker-then, as
now, Niagara was roaring here. The
eyes of that species of extinct giants
whose bones fill the mounds Of Amer
lea have gazed on Niagara as ours do
now. Contemporary with the first
race of men and older than the first
man, Niagara is strong and fresh to-
day as 10000 years ago. The mann
moth and mastodon, SO long dead
that fragments of their monstrous
bones alone testify that they ever
lived, have gazed on Niagara that
long, long time never still for sin
gle moment, never dried, never froze.

How to Make Whisky.

It is very simple matter to make
an illicit still. A man who knows
how can make one in very few min
rtes, and it twill cost practically moth

from the mush is condensed as it
passes through the hose, and when
the condensed liquid trickles out of

Choate's EXaggeration.

When Chief Justice Shaw of Mas
sachusetts heard that a new English
dictionary, containing some thousand
new words, had just been published,
he exclaimed, For heavens sake,
don't let Brother Choate get hold of
itp
The humorous remark was an &C
acknowledgement Of the eloquent ad.
vocate's phenomenal command of
language and of the wealth Of his vo-
cabulary.
No matter what the topic Rufus
Choate discussed, words sonorous,
suggestive and stimulating came
forth at his command and took their
place in long rhythmical sentences. A
member of the Boston bar said that
one of the most earnest and eloquent
addresses to a jury he ever listened
to was made by Choate in a suit
about an invoice of cheese.
Doubtless he was extravagant in
phrasing, but the extravaganza in
stead Of creating a smile stamped the
advocates thought on the hearers
mind. Certain testimony was offered
on the opposite side in a case in which
he was engaged, and he maintained
that it was worthless. "It would be-"
said he, rising on his toes, a favorite
gesture, las difficult to find grain
of truth in that testimony as to find

The ARTILLERY Plant.

A curiosity at the Phipps conserva,
tory, which many visitors overlook,
is the artillery plant. Tt is overlook
ed because it seems commonplace
amid so many which in size and love
illness are sure to seize upon the i'm
agination. Why the harmless look
ing little thing should be given a
name suggesting uproar and battle
will puzzle the average observer.
But an attendant will point out the
rows of minute red flowers on the
branches. When water is sprinkled
on these they burst, and the popping,
and when the plant is older, the pol
len, rising along branch after branch,
give one an idea Of regiment after
regiment engaging in battle. 1t is a
native of tropical America and is not
a bad emblem of that region. Pitts.

Fleet Footed Zehras.

Sir CORVALLIS Harris description
of the common zebra is well worth re-
peating. He says: Seeking the
widest and most sequestered spots,
naughty troops are exceedingly diff
cult to approach, as well on account
Of their extreme agility and feetness
of foot as from the abrupt and mac
cessible nature of their highland
abode. Under the special charge of
sentinel, so posted on some adjacent
crag as to command a view of every
avenue Of approach, the checkered
herd whom painted skins adorn' is
to be viewed perambulating some
rocky ledge on which the rifle ball
alone can reach them.
mo sooner has the note of alarm
been sounded by the vidette than,
pricking their long ears, the whole
flock hurry forward to ascertain the
nature of the approaching danger,
and having gazed a moment at the
advancing hunter, whisking their
brind1e tails aloft, heller SHELTER they
thunder down craggy precipices and
over yawning ravines, where no less
agile foot could dare to follow them. !"

The Science of Laying Eggs.

There is nothing haphazard about
nature. Everything is done on strict
ly scientific principles Even the birds
lay their eggs in accordance WITH
geometrical lines, so that every inch
of space is used to the greatest pos.
sible advantage.
This is not the cocksure statement
of some budding naturalist. It is
given on the authority of one who
has devoted long years to the study
of birds nests and their contents.
He asserts that birds which Law
many eggs arrange them in circles,
the pointed ends turned to the inside,
Others, whose eggs are elliptically
shaped, place them in longitudinal
rows. If an egg is moved out of
place by an intruder, it will be found
on the following morning that the
bird has rearranged it in it's original
position. Montreal Star.

She sat two seats away.

Her teeth like cleaning pearls,
Her eyes as blue as summer skies,
A wealth of golden curls.

There came look of pain.

DR.. SAM OF NEW ORLEANS.

Down in the old French quarter,
Just out of Rampant street,
wend my way
At close of day
Unto the quaint retreat,
Where lives the voudoo doctor,
BY some esteemed a sham,
Yet III declare there's none elsewhere
So skilled as DR.. Sam.
With claws of a devil crawfish,
The juice of a prickly prune,
And the quivering dew
From yarb that grew
In the light of a midnight moon.
Inever should have known him
But for the colored folk
That here obtain,
And ne'er in vain
That wizards arts invoke,
For when the eye that's evil
Would him and hisn damn,
The Negroes grief gets quick relief
OF Hoodoo DR.. Sam.
With the caul of an alligator,
The plume of an unborn loon,
And the poison wrung
From the serpent's tongue
BY the light of a midnight moon.
In all neurotie ailments
Ihear that he excels,
Ana ne lnsureS
Immediate cures
OF weird, uneanny spells,
The most unruly patient
Gets docile as a lamb
And is freed from i'll by the potent skill
OF Hoodoo DR.. Sam.
Feathers of strangled chickens,
Moss from the dank lagoon,
And plasters wet
With spider sweat
In the light of the midnight moon.
They say when nights are grewsome,
And hours are, oh! SO late,
Old Sam steals out
And hunts about
For charms that hoodoos hate;
That from the moaning river
And from the haunted glen,
He silently brings what eerie things
Give peace to hoodooed men.
The tongue of a piebald possum.
The oath of senile coon,
The buzzard's breath that pants for death
And the film that lies
On lizards eyes
Meath the light of a midnight moon
