In our temperate climate none Of tho
trees has leaves of a size that will even
compare favorably with those Of the sea
island and tropical countries in general.
The maple, the oak and the elm leaves
are but ininitesimal bits Of green when
compared with the gigantic sheets Of
v%elvety verdure found on some Of the
trees, shrubs aud plants Of South and
Central America.
The South American tree which has
the largest leaf is the Inaja palm, which
grows ON the banks Of the Amazon. The
leaves Of this giant are often 30 feet in
length, but they are very narrow, sell
dom exceeding 8 to 10 feet. With the
Ceylonese %coccanut palm it is different.
In that species the leaves are from 30 to
25 feet in length and from 10 to IS in
width. The natives Of Ccylon are said
to use these leaves in tentmaking, three
or four being sufficient to make a shelter
for a whole family. An extraordinary
specimen of Ceylonese palm leaf now in
the British museum, and which must be
q freak-because the average length and
breadth Of the leaves of this variety Of
trees do not exceed the figures given
above-is SO feet in length and 30 in
width, even though it is admitted that

who seems to have a genius for farm
ing. According to a Georgia paper, she

The owner is public spirited and ex-
hibits her products at every fair and

GREAT PARK.

The Hum Of the Metropolis Pcnetrates It
with Ever Varying Cadence.
The greatest attraction Of hyde park
is ono which Londoners and most visit
ors fail to discover end appreciate. 1t is
a unique and subtle charm whose mean
ing only those can know who have fall
en- under its spell. Hyde park, be II re-
membered, is the only great plot Of
verdure in the world set in the very
center Of a great city. Boston Common
is but a garden compared with it, Cen
trail park may soon be hemmed in by
New York's teeming millions, but not
yet. Hyde park is a grateful refuge Of
silence in the midst of turmoil Only
upon its outer borders does the restless
mob infringe. Within, away from Rot
ton row, away from carriage drive and
fashionable promenade, there is always
rest, tranquility, silence-no, not ST.
lence, but in its place the thing which
is the mysterious charm Of the spot.
Find a seat upon a bench in the midst
Of the wide, sweeping, open green where
the eye sees only grass and trees, with
no sign Of the vast city on any side Sit
for a few moments and listen-listen,
and there will come to your ears the
most wonderful souud. in all the world.
IL is Jne voice Of London-an ever
changing, inarticulatc. pregnant solil-
oquy. One day it will DO the gentle
murmur Of a sea shell. Again it is the
harsh grinding Of the mill Of the gods
crushing human grain beneath its upper
and neither millstones. The mighty but
distant reverberation is sometimes a
triumphant harmony, sometimes a minor
note, melancholy and despairing. The
myriad tongued voice which comes from
the east is %sullen, protesting, enduring
that from the west is a careless chorus
Of pleasure and prosperity; that from
the north is a hopeful strain Of patient
progress; that from the south is a ca
dence Of struggle and sorrow, and the
whole is symphony Of human life, ma
jestic, inspiring, infinitely pathetic.
Nowhere save in this spot does che
greatness of London impress itself upon
me.-Boston Transcript.

A book published in 1876 lays down
rules for children's behavior and gives
an idea Of what was considered proper
department for boys and girls In the
early part Of the last century. First, Of
behavior 1t home. Children must al
ways bow on returning home; they
must never be covered in the house ;
they must not sit down without permits
sion; they must never address their
parents without a title Of respect, az sir
or madam they must not approach their
parents OF elders without a bow. Next,
Of behavior at table. They must not sit
down till they arc hidden, nor till grace
is said, nor must they ask for anything,
or help themselves, or speak at table, or
look at others eating. Thirdly, Of be-
havior In company. They must enter
the room with a bow; they must not
speak till they are spoken to- they are
not to GROSS their legs or sit with their
knees wide; thoy are not 70 laugh loud,
but silently smilei they are not to point
or boast or to interrupt
Imagine an American youth Of to-
day silently smiling II anything
struck him as being funny and think Of
our infant terribles waiting until they
are spoken TO before they address their
elders. Il is just as we'll that the good
old author Of this book is dead; he

Queen MIN of Korea was greatly dis
liked by her subjects. The husband,
who was entirely under her influence,
did exactly what she wished, aud never
prevented her from getting money from
the people by any possible means. She
sold every office in the government to
the highest bidder and compelled their
purchase. When people preferred not to
buy an Office because the price was
higher than they could pay, the Offend
ing person was put in prison and his
money taken from him. She had a force
Of private detectives scattered through
the country, and any one coY flaming
Of the queen or disapprovinR Of her
methods was imprisoned without fAily
or friends being notified. She lived in
constant terror Of assassination, and took
endless precautions to prevent It. She
sat up all night in one Of her several
bedrooms and no nj but her intimates
knew when she slept.
Under one bedroom there was a trap
door, with steps leading to a room be-
low, where she always kept on guard 40
couriers and o vehicle, in case she
wished to escape from the palace at a
moments notice. Queen Min surround
cd herself with fortune tellers and made
continual sacrifices to gods Of all kinds.
The sincerity Of her motives is doubt
full, when il is known that she installed
a prophecies and made the king, Til
Rhee, believe that he must obey her,
having first given orders as to what
the prophesy should be.-Philadelphia

The porte is the short name of the
sublime porte, which is tho official way
of speaking Of the Turkish government.
In the east judicial business is transact
ed at the city or palace gates. One story
says that the sultan Of Bagdad put in
the portal Of his palace a piece Of sacred
black stone of Mecca, thus making his
gate the porte. Another says that Sultan
Orkhan built a gorgeous gate to his
place in Broussa. Both of these stories
are probably untrue EU Ear as they pur-
port to explain the name as applied to
the Turkish government. just al the
British court is called the court of St.
James and the late French court that
Of the Tuileries, because their head
quarters were in the palaces Of st.
James and the Tuileries respectively, so
the Turkish court got the name sublime
porte because its headquarters were in
the palace Of Bab-i- Humayun, or the
Lofty Gate, in Constantinople. The
name has been attached to the building
in that city which shelters the four prin-
cipal departments Of the government. -

1t is credited by The Green Bag to Vice
Chancellor Robertson Of New York.
The chancellor was listening patiently
at chambers to an argumentative con-
hict over the amount Of a fee claimed
by a counsel. At the close Of the con-
tentiUn, he remarked:
LET me have your papers and the
ahdavits Of the expert, and l will see
what is feasible as to the fee, and will
endeavor to see my way to a just solu-
tion between the contention on the one
side that the fee is a phenomenal one
and ON the other side that there should
not DO a nominal fee"
