A valuable Porto Kican Palm.

The coco palm is found In great
numbers on tho plains and coasts Of
Porto Rico, and is profitable plant
for cultivation. The external sheath
of the cocoanut is composed of null
titude of fibres which form nap of a
reddish color, which is excellent for
calking boats, as it resists water bet
ter than tow, and endures longer. The
Indians make cordage from this
fibre, and sails for their boats, and in
the dockyards of Guayaquil, Ecuador,
they use no other calking material in
repairing vessels. Beneath this ex.
terror fibrous covering is another, the
color OF cnes tnuts, which is very hard,
and although elastic, is easily broken.
A fine oil made from the meat of the
cocoanut is used for lighting and
cooking. The Indians make an in
toxicating drink from the sap of the
coooanut tree, which at first has Bit
ter sweet taste, afterwards becoming
sour. In Porto Rico the nuts are
utilized by drinking the water from
them when young, by making sweet-
meats from the meat, and by manu-
featuring drinking cups and other
utensils from the outside shell. From
the trunks OF the trees the best palm
boards are made for houses, be cause
of their resistance to the inclemencies
of the weather. There are masses of
fibre at the base of the leaves, which
appear like lunches of tow or bast.
These are the fibrous remains of dried
leaves which have lost their feshy
portion, and appear like pieces of
cloth woven from thick tow. This
is used for filtering and sitting.

Although Two Centuries Old, 1t Is StiD
Used as Hostelry.
'Rich in the historical and literary
associations accumulated during two
centuries of existence" says the Ladies'
Home Journal for September, "the
Wayside Inn, built by David Howe,
still stands remote among the wooded
hills in South Sudbury, Massachusetts,
The Landlord Of Longfellow's famous
tales was the dignifled Squire Lyman
Howe, justice Of the peace and school
committeeman, who lived a bachelor,
and died at the inn in 1860-the last OF
his line to keep the famous hoste.ry
Beside Squire Howe, the only other
real characters in the Tales who were
ever actually at the inn were Thomas
w. Parsons, the poet; Luigi Monti
the Sicilian, and Professor Daniel
Treadwell, of Harvard, the theologian
all three of whom were in the habit of
spending the summer months there.
OF the other characters, the Musician
was Ole Bull, the Student was Henry
Ware Wales, and the Spanish Jew was
Israel Edrehi. Near the room in which
Longfellow stayed Is the ballroom,
with the dais at one end for the fid-
dlers. But the polished floor no longer
feels the pressure Of dainty feet in
high-heeled slippers gliding over 1t to
the strains Of contra-dance, cotillon or
minuet, although the merry voices of
summer visitors and the jingling bells
of winter sleighing parties at times
still break the quiet Of the ancient inn"

1t is evident that the emperor OF
Germany does not expect the horse

under construction, in the outskirts OF
Berlin, what is to be, probably, the
most splendid stable in the world. Out
wardly it looks like palace, and in
wardly it has many of the appoint

tainly horses were never more pala-
TALLY lodged than they will be here.
The stable is being erected by the i'm
perial architect, Herr lime. OF occu-
pies superficial area of more than
two acres. There will be roomy and
comfortable box-stalls for more than
27O horses, and carriage-house space
for more than 300 carriages. In the
center of the whole will be two-story
building, where the imperial coach
men. grooms, stable-boys, and SO forth,
with their families, will be lodged.
Eighty families will have quarters In
the building; the drivers or coachmen
will be at least fifty in number. The
stable will be provided with horse ele-
vators, telephones and electric lights
and the walls of the carriage-houses
and other portions of the building will
be beautifully decorated with paint and

in Berlin. The cost Of the stable is
estimated at seven millions of marks

There was once boy named Parker,
whose admiring relatives thought he
ought to learn something about the
alphabet. So one day at luncheon it
was duly impressed on his mind that
P stands for plates, and for prunes,
and for pepper, and for Parker. He
was letter perfect, and the next day
at luncheon was called on to show off.
"What does P stand for?" asked his

Soulless Corporations CD.

We frequently hear the above cap
ton applied to railroads and other
large concerns, but it is not often that
we hear Of a railroad loaning people
along it's line money with which to
make another crop after one HAD been
lost. 1t is now a Well-knOWn fact that
Mr.. Flagler, of the Florida East Coast
Line, distributed thousands and thOus-
anus of dollars to the people along his
line, to enable them to make another
crop, owing to the fact that the freeze
had destroyed the one that was just
ready to be sent to market. We do not
believe it has it's parallel in history.
True, other lines have furnished seeds
and delivered them Free but that is
very different from letting the grower
have sufficient funds to enable him to
make another crop.
This, however, is only one of the
many generous and brOad-minded
freaks of Mr.. Flagler, and It cannot
but help come back to him in increased
business, and above all increased con-
fidence of the people along the line,
that while Mr.. Flagler is looking af-
ter his own interest, he also has their
interest in view.
