A Northern town for Southern
negroes is to be established on Long
Island. 1t will be a municipality by
itself, no white person will be well
coined within its limits or permitted
to acquire property there. and all the
officers Of the place will be colored. 1t
is intended to be a refuge for fugitives
from Southern mobs. and if it is sue
cessful the intention is to be found a
number of similar communities in va
rious places. This may be a step to-
wards the solution of the negro prob
lem. but it can hardly be the full solu-
ton. 1t will meet with opposition in
both sections. The South does not
wish to be deprived Of its working
negroes nor do the Northern working
men wish for excessive negro compe-
tition.

Experience.

The world was made when a man was
born.
He must taste for himself the forbidden
springs
He can never take warning from old
fashioned things.
He must fight as boy; he must drink as
a youth.
He must kiss, he must love; he must
swear to the truth
Of the friend of his soul. He must
laugh to scorn
The hint of deceit in a woman's ewes
That are clear as the wells of Paradise.
And 50 he goes on till the world grows
old:
TIL his tongue has grown cautious, his
heart has grown cold:
iii the smile leaves his mouth and the
ring leaves his laugh,
And he shirks the bright headache you
ask him to quaff.
lie grows formal with men, and with
women polite,
And distrustful of both when they're out
of his sight.
Then he eats for his palate and drinks
for his head
And loves for his pleasure-and II is time
he We're dead.

me Cocoanut Tree.

The cocoanut, or cOco-nut tree is
species of palm. cocos nucifera, per-
haps originally native only Oh the In
dian Coasts and South Sea Islands,
but now ditfuSed over all tropical re-
gions- The cocoa palm belongs to
genus having pinnate leaves, and male
and female MOWERS on the same tree,
the female flowers at the base of each
spadlN. The genus is distinguished
further by simple three-celied
ovary, which is succeeded by a coarse,
fbrous, one-celled drupe, two of the
cells becoming abortlve. There are
about eighteen known species, all ma
tives of South America, except the
most important, the cocoa palm itself.
The American species prefer dry and
somewhat elevated districts. The
cocoa palm, on the contrary, is sell
dom found at any cOnsidera BILE dis
lance from the sea coast, except where
it has been introduced by man, and
generally thrives best in sandy soils
near the sea.
1t is always one of the first of the
larger plants to esta blish itself in the
low islands of the Pacific ocean, so
soon as there is soil enough. 1t has
a cylindrical stem, about two feet in
diameter, and from so to 100 feet high,
with many rings marking the places
Of former leaves, and bearing at its
summit crown of from sixteen to
twenty leaves, which generally curve
downward, and are from twelve to
twenty feet in length. The flowers
proceed from within a large pointed
spathe. The fruit grows in short
racmes, which bear, in favorable sit
uations, from five to fifteen nuts; and
ten or twelve of these .racnes. in diff
ferent stages may be seen a once on
tree, about eighty or 100 nuts being
its ordinary annual produce. The tree
bears fruit in from seven to eight
years from the time of planting, and
continues productive for seventy or
eighty years. Of the three round,
black scars at one end of the shell, the
one which alone can be easily rierced
with pin, and through which an
opening is commonly n4ilue to get out
the milk, is the destined outlet of the
terminating embryo, which is situated
there, the kernals consisting generally
of the albumen destined for its nour-
iShment. The thick husk is remarka-
bly, adapted TO the preservation of the
seed, while the nut is tossed about by
the waves, until it reaches some shore
far away from that on which it grew
The cocoanut affords to the inhab-
itants of many tropical coasts and is
lands great part of it's food. 1t is
eaten not only as it comes from the
tree, both ripe and unripe, being filed

THE PHILIPPINE MARPLOTS.

No war has ever been waged since
the days when newspapers were first
represented in any of them in which
some of the correspondents did not
think that mistakes were made by
the commanders Sherman was ac-
cused of many plumbers in his cam
paigns. Grant was villified by some
of the correspondents in the field
with him. Even Sheridan, the most
picturesque and dashing soldier since
Ney, was attacked by writers In his
army and at the general headquar-
tiers. If there had been dozen news
paper correspondents with Caesar,
some one or other of them would
have pointed out many plumbers in
his campaign in Gaul or in his battle
at Dyrrachium, in which he was tenn
porarily beaten by Pompey. Hanni-
balls refusal to attack Rome when he
had arrived in front of the city, after
the battle of Cannae, would have been
held up as a mark of cowardice or in
competency blythe military critics Of
the day. if there had been any, and
petitions would have been sent to
Carthage demanding his Immediate
removal from the command. At the
time Alexander was said to be mourn
ing because there were no worlds to
conquer, the yellow papers, if there
had been any at that time, would
have shown him that there were sew
eral spots not yet conquered in the
world he had
1t is well to bear in mind that there
are many things connected with a
campaign which military exigencies
compel the commander to withhold
from the knowledge of even his own
military family. There are secrets
connected with his plans and the
movements and strength of his antog
onist which lie does not feel free to
proclaim from the housetops. He is
necessarily in possession of facts
which are denied to the correspond
ents, but which put a different face
on the situation from that which is
presented to them. In general, the
newspaper men with the armies print
things as they see them. There are
many things, however, which they
can not see, and which the military
commander does not feel at liberty to
communicate to them. This is the
case in all wars. Something in the
situation has always to be concealed
temporarily, for the very best of rea-
sons. Not knowing these things, the
critics point out alleged blunders
which have not been made, and make

charges which they would refrain
from making if the whole situation
were revealed to them.
There is one fact which the country
ought to keep constantly in view in
weighing these criticisms of General
Otis and the general management of
the campaign in the Philippines. The
melting cause of many of these at
tacks is partisan. They were stated
by Democratic papers or by Demo-
cratic politicians for effect in the can
vases this year and in 1900. Not all
the newspapers and correspondents
that are criticisIng the conduct of
affairs in the islands are influenced
by partisan reasons. Some of the
critics are Republicans, who are just
as anxious as the administration is to
end the war, with the least possible
delay and sacrifice. The greater part
of the accusations, however, have
been made by Democratic papers, led
off by the yellow press, and are in
tended for political purposes. Many
of the fault-finderS care nothing for
the conditions in the islands except
as these furnish them with an oppor
tunity to assaii the American govern
ment. But the situation promises to
soon improve. The new army is be-
ing raised quicker than any one ex-
pected. The military commander in
the Philippines will have between 49,
900 and $4,000 well-trained men under
his direction at the time for the re-
opening of operations in the fall, and
if Aguinaldo has not surrendered in
the meantime a campaign will begin

last vestige of resistance to the Amer
