menseiy popular There Is nothing In the
world which neat housewife despises go
much as a bedbug. and one and all OF
them Will no doubt welcome the bugless
mattress.
AS lining or padding for fine carpets
the palmetto fiber is unsurpassed. 1t lasts
a lifetime and retains its elasticity. As u
packing for glass, bric-a -brac, pottery,
bricks, tile, earthenware and similar break
able articles 1T is better than straw CORFU
gated paper or corked paper, because It ia
stronger and more elastic; then. after 1t

mattress filling or for other purposes. The
fiber can be used with advantage as a sub
stitute for hair in plastering. Lime does
molders have found that the fiber makes
an excellent large core. These are merely
lew OF the uses of the fiber. Machines
for making 1t are comparatively cheap
Five tons of green palmetto will make
three tons Of fiber, which Is worth about
SIS per ton in bales.
From the fruit of the plant are extracted

quantities of good honey. The berries

the forest, it is said, eats the berries In
preference to corn. The berry, technically
called the drupe, contains sugar, glucose,
gum. starch. saline matter resin, potash,

distinct medicinal properties in addition to
their food value. When green they make

proprietary medicines are made from the

addition to all this, If the plant is grubbed
up and permitted to rot on the ground, it

There is no harder plant than the saw

chance, and it will produce two crops of
leaves a year. The branches and leaves
can be gathered at cost Of about So to
$3.50 a ton delivered. The fiber from that
ton is worth approximately $1,000.

THE SAW PALMETTO.
A Long List of Uses to Which 1t May
He Put.

From the Savannah News.
After reading an article by Mr.. w. L.
French of Jacksonville, Fla, in recent
number Of the Tradesman on the saw pal
metto and it's product, every appreciative
tidewater southerner, from the Carolinas
round the coast to Louisiana, ought to feel
like taking off his hat to the hitherto
despised little scrub. For, as Mr.. French
shows, it is storehouse of good and useful
things, and a source of wealth to the sec
lions in which 1t grows. The trouble Is
that we have not only failed to discover the
virtues of our humble friend and make the
most Of them, but we have actually regard
ed that friend cumberer of the ground
and oftentimes cut it down and cast 1t into
the furnace.
The fiber may be considered first, be-
cause 1t is the largest product of the saw
palmetto. The fiber can be produced for
half the cost Of excelsior and is twice as
good. For mattress making 1t is equal to
hair or wool in comfort. costs much less
and lasts longer. Hair and wool mattresses
must be made over at intervals: the
fiber mattresses need no such attention
Hair and wool mattresses retain disease
germs; the fiber mattress does not. Hair
and wool mattresses become infected with
vermin; bedbugs cannot exist where there
is saw palmetto fiber. This one considera-
ton ought to make the fiber mattresses i'm

The Oldest Family in Great Britain.
From the New York Trihune

F. l.. O'Brien of Dublin, in speaking yes
terday of the antiquity of some of the Irish
families, told the following story: There
lives in the north Of Ireland said Mr..
O'Brien, "a family named ONeil. Their
greatest claim to prominence lies I'm the
fact that they are the oldest family In tho
united kingdom When Plantagenet, Tudor
or Guelph was not, the O'Nen was. They
ruled as kings before ever William looked
with covetouS eye across the English
Channel toward the white cliffs of Albion.
This long line of descent has bred in the
family a reverence for their ancestry that
approaches idolatry. The handspring of
their life and action, the pride of their be-
ing, is that a long line of dead and long
since forgotten O'Neils carry them back
in the direct line to the dark ages. AS
may be imagined, their family tree is CO.
loSsal in Its proportions. 1t has a length OF
something like eighteen or nineteen feet,
and when 1t Is unroled at the castle holy
hush falls all. To visitor there
some years ago was, In due course of time
and as a special mark Of favor, shown this
marvellous pedigree. Stretched on the enor-
nous billiard table, It Tapped full three
feet at either end. The visitors eye ran
back over that lengthy line of O'Neils.
long since turned to dust. and he wondered
why they took so insane pride In their
descent. Just then he became conscious
that that thought had occurred to other
aliens who had beforetimeS seen the ONefl
family tree. A penciled note In the margin,
about half way down the tree, caught his
eye. 1t read: Just here came Adam"

make a very respectable showing for an
administration in time of peace.
President Mckinley. besides settling. with
the aid of Congress- the tariff and the
treasury questions to the satisfaction of
majority of the people, brought about the
annexation of Hawaii and the much
needed Improvement in the government OF
Alaska The adjustment of the long-stand-
ing controversy with the Pacific railroads,
as to their Indebtedness for the aid given
them by the government, which secured a
much larger amount than had been re-
garded as obtainable, so that the govern
ment will lose none OF the principal and
only comparatively small proportion of
the interest was sc quietly made under
President McKinley,s direction that the
country generally probably does not realize
that it has been done:
Foreign Relations.
The President has been fortunate In his
dealings with. foreign. nations, apart with
those which grew out OF the war with
Spain. He was able to settle satisfactorily
the old and vexatious question of our rela-
tions to England and Germany in the Sa-
moan Islands, by ending the embarrassing
condominium and dividing the Islands
among the three governments. securing the
best harbor for the. United States. When
the Yukon gold discoveries moved Canada
to claim American territory in Alaska, in
order to get a seaport for the Yukon dis
trict. and Great Britain, somewhat against
her will, pressed the claim, WIN an lntlInd-
ton that a collision between American
miners and Canadian constabulary would
mean bloodshed, and might mean war, Sec
rotary Hay, under the Presidents direc-
ton, succeeded In arranging a modus vi
vendi, which, by establishing a temporary
boundary line, postponed the question to a
better occasion for peaceful settlement,
without giving the Canadians, even tempo
rarily, a seaport or any concession or real
Importance.
The war with Spain, which President
Mckinley did everything in his power
to prevent, gave him the great oppor-
tunity of his life and the one that he
best improved. In 1t he lifted his admin
stration to the plane of those of Wash
ington and Lincoln, and linked his name
with theirs for our time, if not for all
time, as the Hberator Of millions from the
woke of Spain. The country wanted war.
but was not prepared for it: the President
did not want it, but was prepared for 1t
when 1t came. Throughout the war he was
not only the actual commandments,
but the director of our diplomacy.
Without undertaking to anticipate the
judgment of posterity, it seems safe to say
that President Mckinley has had great
part to play, and has played it well. and
that it was fortunate for the republic that
he was at its head In the closing years Of
the nineteenth century.
