very palatable food either in the raw
state or cooked as q vegetable, or made
into a preserve with sugar.
One of the peculiarities of the royal
palm is the stem of its long leaves. 1t
is a semi-circular stem, which en-
braces the trunk of the tree and holds
the leaf in place until it withers and
drops TO the ground The stem is
called the 'yagua-" It resembles a
thin board, often as long as a man is
tall, and the Cuban inSurgent, now
struggling for independence, makes it
serve him a variety of purposes. For
example while / was in the field il
frequently served me as a plate by
simply cutting off a section of it, BY
soaking in water it is rendered pliable,
so that it may be folded almost as
readily as piece of stiff paper. Thus
softened, it is folded at the ends some
thing after the fashion of a bakers
paper hat, and fastened with wooden
pins. In this shape it is called Ca
tarro." and serves the Cuban farmer
as a water bucket, or a wash BASIN
or receptacle for milk, lard, cheese,
eggs, or whenever a receptacle OF any
kind may be needed. l have seen a
group of rebels using a ''yagua'' thus
folded as a kettle in which to cook
their breakfast of beef and vans. The
water kept the fibrous wood from burn
ing, and I was assured that the food
thus cooked required no salt other
than that which was extracted from
the ''yagua" in the process of cooking.

CUBA'S ROYAL PALM.
They Call 1t Blessed Because All Its
Parts Can Be Made of Some Use.

J Current Literature: Not only is the
climate of Cuba favorable to the
planting of crops whenever the farm
err chooses to plant them. and the
lands so rich that no fertilization is
ever required, but nature seems to
have, with a benefceHt hand, reared
many strange trees and plants to sup
ply the wants of man, without the ne
/ cessity of his planting them himself.
First among these are the palms, some
90 varieties of which adorn the fields
! of Cuba, giving shade, food and life.
At the head of these stands the royal
palm. This majestic tree consists of
a tall. straight trunk of fbrous wood,
supporting cluster of pennated
/ leaves, like a bunch of plumes on
| long stick 1t is a marvel of beauty
and utility, yet it is one of the most
| common of all trees in Cuba. 1t is met
with most everywhere; in the center
/ of broad pasture lands it often stands
alone, tall and straight; while border
( ing the cultivated fields of the rich
planter, il forms shady avenues to his
I dwelling. Again, its seed finds root
amid the gloom of the somber forest,
sending the tall shaft high up to find
room for its fairy-lil5e cluster of plunes
in the free air above. On the plains
il often forms delicious groves of shade
and on the distant mountain it may be
seen rearing its plumed crest against
the sky, and in the valley below its
dark green leaves murmur softly in
sweet cadence with the winding river.
The palm has been called the blessed
tree, for every part of it has its useful
ness to mankind. Certain medicinal
qualities are claimed for its roots. and
its trunk is easily split into strips,
making excellent boards for the siding
of houses, benches and even tables. As
the trunk is without any bark and its
center is very porous, increasing in
density toward the outer surface,
which is nearly as hard as glass, it is
only the outside hard shell of the
trunk which furnishes these boards.
From this hard. fibrous wood some
very pretty canes are made. which
take a most beautiful polish. The
leaves of the palm grow from the CEN
ter of the trunk, first in the form of a
delicate spire shooting up. which, grad
ually unfolding itself, forms a new
leaf.
These leaves continue to grow from
the center spire to a great length.
forming the cluster which. in the case
of the royal palm, resembles so much
a bunch of enormous plumes. The
leaves, when they cannot grow any
tom of the cluster, thus making room
coming out of the center. The bud or
root of the center spire. from which
the leaves grow, consist of a tender
substance buried deep down within the
cluster of green leaves, and forms a

IMPORTANT ORDER
Issued By the Union Pacific Regard
ing Live Stock.


Denver, Colo. July 2o-One of the
most important orders ever issued by
the Union Pacific railroad, insofar as
the live stock market CT Denver and
the western shippers of live stock are
concerned, was promulgated today.
Early in the year complaints from ship
pers that they We're being discriminate
ed against in shipments to Denver from
points west of Colorado, the National
Live Stock association took up the
matter of adjusting these rates with
western lines. As a result the Union
Pacific today issued an order making
Denver the terminus for all western
shipments Of stock, instead of Ogden,
Utah.
Heretofore a shipper was compelled,
on reaching ogden, to elect his route to
the eastern markets. If he selected the
Union Pacific for Omaha or Kansas
City, he was not allowed to try the
Denver market without paying the To-
cal freight rate from Cheyenne. WyO.,
to Denver and return, q, distance of
over 20 miles. Under the new ruling
a shipper can have his stock billed TO
any eastern market via Denver with
out extra charge, thus giving him the
advantage of two markets instead of
one. without extra freight rates, which
made shipments from many points in
the west to this market prohibitory.
1t is said that other western roads
terminating or running through here
win take similar action at an early
date.

FERTILIZER MEN ORGANIZE.
An Important But Secret Meeting Held
In Atlanta, Ga.

An Important But Secret Meeting Held
In Atlanta, Ga.
The fertilizer men of the south met
in Atlanta, Ga, Tuesday morning and
organized the Southern Fertilizer As
ISOLATION, the purpose Of which 10 to
control the entire guano trade Of the
country.
The organization was the most impor-
tant ever effected in the south, and an
idea of the magnitude of the association
may be gained from the fact that IL
will control over 100000 tons Of
fertilizers, valued at something like
500, 900, 900. The entire fertilizer
trade of the United States will be
affected by this meeting Of the manu-
facturers.
The old fertilizer association was
changed into a new association and
new officers were selected. New reg
ulatiops were adopted and changes
that involve millions in the south were
made. All of the manufacturers siren
uously denied that they had formed .
trust Of any kind. They simply said
that they had organized for mutual
protection.
The men present at the meeting rep.
resent the greatest fertilizer msnufac-
tories in the world, and the aggregate
value OF the business which they con.
troll amounts to hundreds OF millions
agar. The fact that the fertilizer
men have combined is matter Of pc
culisr interest to Georgia because Of
the fact that the state uses more gusno
than any other in the Union.
The meeting was private, and aside
from the names of the officers elected,
the manufacturers would not disclose
any business that transpired.
