Palm Trees.

The various kinds of palm trees
on the island of Ceylon are in them
selves Of great interest, and when
their different uses are explained a
person can well appreciate how es-
sential they are to the natives in
low country Cingalese districts
From the sap of the cocoanut palm
the spirit he drinks is distilled; the
kernel of the nut is necessary eie-
ment in his daily curry; the milk
is the beverage offered to every VS.
itor to his domain; his only lamp is
fed from the oil; his nets for fishing
are manufactured from its fiber, as
is also the rope which keeps his goat
or cow from going astrav, while the
rafters Of his house, the thatch Of
the roof and the window blinds are
made from its leaf and wood. There
is perhaps no product in the world
that is put to so many and such
profitable uses as the cocoanut
palm, for even before it is grown
its leaf ribs are tied together 70
make brooms for sweeping and
cages for birds.

Some Japanese Customs.

Widows in Japan cut their hair
short and comb it back plainly
without a parting unless, indeed,
they are prepared to accept fresh
offers, in which case they give a
broad hint of their inclinations by
twisting their hair round a long
shell hairpin placed horizontally
across the back of the head. Mar
riageable nsidens distinguish and,
as it were, advertise themselves by
combing their locks high in front
and arranging them in the form OF
a butterfly, which is something to
be caught, or a fan half open, and
adjoining these significant desig2
with bright colored balls and gold
or silver cord. Speaking generally.

changed at intervals from clisunOJa
upward, is an indication Of tire az

JAPANESE POLITENESS.
Even the Thief Apologies to the Police
For Troubling Them.

The politeness of the japanese is
what one might expect of country
where the thief apologies to the
policeman for giving him so much
trouble. If you want to learn the
language and hire a teacher he is
far too polite to tell YOU of your
mistakes. "This authority" says
Mr. Scherer, teacher who has lived
long in Japan, ''usua!ly proceeds
uDon the hypothesis that foreigner
cannot learn japanese anyway and
that The most the teacher may hope
TO do is to persuade him that he
can" Xavier, the first great mis-
sionary to Japan, held that the lam
guage was an invention of the devil
to prevent the preaching OF the
Christian faith, and most students
have agreed so fac as the fist -;
of the phrase is concerned. =.

words of gratitied comment. But
the appreciative auditor continued:
Truly, as for the honorable sermon.
it was greatly interesting. | lis
tened to it well. If you ask why.
it was the first time | ever heard
a discourse in the English tongue.
And how much your language is like
the language of Japan"
Politeness may sometimes take q
mercenary form. Mr.. Scherer says:
Only own most impressive lesson in
the art of oriental politeness oc-
Cured at an early pecuniary trans
action. Upon asking japanese
merchant the price of some fancy
shells he told me they were 10 cents
each. Now l said to him, you
have just fifteen of them left and |
need them all. So what will be the
price if I take the entire lot" At
ter elaborate figuring on the ever
present abacus he replied that the
fifteen would cost $1.75. Thinking
that my friend the merchant had
made a mistake or that his abacus
was out of order, | confidently called
attention to he fact that since all
the articles were being purchased
there should rather be a reduction
in the price than an increase. Not
at ALL he replied, with a plying
smile. 4 sell you my entire stock of
shells. Then when some other GUS

Draft Doqs.

In Holland and Belgium the dog
occupies the place which the donkey
does in several other countries. In
the former, the sight of couple OF
dogs dragging along pushcart
loaded with vegetables, flowers OF
shining milk cans is familiar one.
They trot along underneath the
cart, within easy reach of the blunt
toe of the sabot of the woman, who
walks behind it to guide it by the
handles attached at that point. III
Belgium the dogs are hitched in
front, as the Russians attach their
horses to their droskies, thres
abreast, and are guided by pair OF
rope reins fastened to muzz!c
about the nose of the dog in the

How Poison of Cobra Acts.

The venom of the cobra contains
an ingredient not well known that
acts upon the nerves. Its effects are
rapid and difficult to counteract.
This ingredient exists in the cobra :
venom to a greater extent than the
other substances that make up the
poison. The poison of the yiperinc
and crotaline snakes (the rattle
rzake, copperhead, moccasin, etc.
contains but a small percentage of
this nerve destroying or paralyzing
element. The poison Of these snakes
acts principally upon the blood and
in consequence its action is slower.
