A Large Cocoanut Plantation.

A Yucatan correspondent of the
Philadelphia Record describes large
cocoanut plantation of New England
man down there. ''On a tract of 1000
acres purchased from the Government
at the rate of four cents per acre) he
has set out 10000 trees and expects
in due time to make a princely fortune
therefrom. It requires six years for
the trees to begin to yield returns,
and it is estimated that in ten years
from the time of planting the grove
will be worth at least 81, 1000, 200, on
which it will yield an annual income
of ten per cent. A full grown cocoa
nut tree will mature from sixty to 100
nuts every year. Another American
is experimenting in this neighborhood
on ramie, or vegetable silk, and de-
clares that it's cultivation is to become
an important factor in cloth-making
materials. Ramie is member of the
bromelia family, here known as silk
grass, and grows wild in the hot sands
of the coast. To-day it is worth 95
cents pound in Manchester, Eng
land, while the demand for it is i'm
mensely ahead of the present supply. "

spokes and wood rims, braided with
hickory bark. The front fork is at
tached to the head at the upper end
by heel bolt with tail nut taken
from an old plow stock. The lower
connection or hinge is piece of iron
in the shape of staple, and is driven
in the head. Another piece is driven

The saddle is solid piece of wood

piece of hasp, wire and two staples.
The handle bar is adjustable. The
head and frame are made of the crotch
of a tree to insure strength. The
bolts and pieces of iron used were
picked up about the farm. Tools used
saw, ak, auger and pocket-knife.

Circumventing Mosquitoes.

A mixture of glycerine and carbolic
acid is said to form a wonderful pro-
lection from mosquitoes as well as q
cure for the bites. Take about twenty
drops of the acid and put it into q
bottle containing an ounce of glyc-
crime and half an ounce of rosemary
water. If used freely at night the
sting of the bites will be almost mirac-
ulously cured and the disfigurlng
blotches removed by morning. If the
odor is unbearably disagreesble add q
drop of altar of roses to the liquid.

was different from other rabbits and,
therefore, entitled to some considera-
tion, for he approached the hotel as if
desirous of being captured.
When chased he did not run away,
but hid in clump of bushes and re-
mained there until his captor picked
him up. Since then he has become
very tame, but at no time did the little
fellow evince any great amount of
fear.
The body of the rabbit is just like
that of any other cotton-tail, and so is
his head. The fur is the same, and
the animal seems to be about the size
of other members of the same species.
But he has only one ear, and this gives
him an uncanny appearance. He has
been dubbed the "unicorn rabbit, -
and the solitary ear gi him fero'
cious aspect.

A SUCCESSFUL WOMAN ARCHI-
TECT.

Miss Elise Mercur selected the profes.
sion of architecture as soon as she
found it necessary for her to join the
army of self-suppOrting women. Her
early training was all in her favor
She had been carefully educated I'm
Europe, was fine mathematician and
student of languages. AS a special
preparation for her work she studied
for three years at the Academy of Fine
Arts in Philadelphia, giving most of
her time to thorough work in mathe-
matics and design. Her careful drill
ing in the practical side of her profess
sion she attributes to Thomas Boyd, a
prominent architect of Pittsburg, with
whom she has been associated more or
less for six years.
Miss Mercur is at present independ-
emily established in an office of her
own in the Westinghouse Building, in
Pittsburg, Pa. She is an excellent busi-
ness woman, prompt, keen, with cool
head and a warm heart. She begins
work at her office at eight O'Clock in the
morning, sharp, and seldom gets away
before six in the evening. She is fond
of society, and popular, as successful,
pretty woman should be; yet she never
permits her social life to encroach upon
her business hours.
Miss Mercur's first large work was
| the WOman's Building at the Atlanta
| Exposition. The success of this struc-
ture is too well known to need special
| mention. 1t has made Miss Mercur's
| name a familiar one to all readers,
and established her reputation as
| practical architect. She has been es-
pecially successful in designing private
houses and school buildings. Last sum"
mer she designed and superintendent
the erection of college building at
Beaver, Pa, and is now filling an order
for colonial residence in the same
town. She is very enthusiastic about
the work of experimenting the con-
struction of her buildings.
Il find" she says, that as soon as
men see that you really understand
your business and know more than
they do, and especially if you have
proved yourself equal to climbing lad
der they will obey with all the cheer
fulness and readiness you can ask, and
respect you in the bargain

carried the smiling likeness of a big
Westphalian student of philosophy.
There were many more of the same
sort, and the photographer had shown
great skill in getting them up.
The illusions were actually startling.

THE BIG EXPLOSION CASE

At s o'clock yesterday after having
been out just "a hours the jury in the
robbery case of the state against Henry
Connolly, Frank Gaffney and George
Smith came in with verdicts OF not guilty
as to each of the three defendants and
the men were discharged from custody.
Judge Speer in discharging them thought
1t appropriate to remind them that their
experience should prove to them a lesson.
The jury came into court yesterday
morning and stated that there was a diff
ference of opinion among them as to the
construction of certain testimony and
they desired the court to help them out,
but the judge told them he could not
talk to them about the testimony and
they were returned to the jury room.
Judge Speer yesterday appointed ]. r.
Russell receiver for the Yellow Jack
property pending a final disposition of
the partition suit of Pat Mullins against
the Butte Hardware company and others.
The receiver was required to give bonds
in the sum of $1,000, which may be in
creased at any time IL 1t should be found
necessary.
In the damage suit of Mrs. Cameron
against the Butte Hardware company
testimony was introduced yesterday to
establish the Individual liability of the
trustees. William Hotchkiss testified that
during the latter part of 1899 and the
first of 1898 he was a clerk in the up
town store of the company and during
that time was sent to the warehouse to
take an inventory of the stock there. 1t
took him about three weeks to make the
inventory of the hardware and powder
there. Both Kenyon and Connell were at
the warehouse together once or twice and
Mr.. Kenyon was there alone several
times looking around to see what was
needed to replenish the stock. On those
occasions there were from 20 to 40 boxes
of powder at the warehouse. Hotchkiss
said he once saw a whole carload of
powder unloaded at the warehouse and
part of ii was hauled to the magazine.
The witness resided at Livingston at the
time of the explosion. The testimony of
several other witnesses given at the for
mer trials was read to the jury and then
court adjourned for the day. A motion
for non-suit as to the trustees will be
made and argued this morning.
Demurrers were filed yesterday to the
answers of ]. H. Leyson, Henry Root.
John e. Davis and others to the petition
of Elizabeth A. Bowdin asking for a re-
vocation of the probate of the will of A.
]. Davis. The demurrers recite that the
answer does not set up a good and suffi-
cient defense.
In the case of William Dyer against
Jennie Wilhelm default. Judgment for
&T31.50 and costs and an attorneys fee
of $500 was entered yesterday. A judg-
ment for foreclosure on attachment was
also given in the case of II. .Strasburger
against May Malloy.
