Palm Pith Used as food.

A primitive food material used by
the Sakalaves has recently been ex-
amined by a French chemist The
Sakalaves were at one time the dom
mating people of the large island of
Madagascar, but were overpowered
and in imminent danger of destruc-
ton by the Hovas Under the French
protection they left the main island
early in the last century and took up
their abode in the small islands near
by. These people are using for food
the pith of palm tree called by them
the Satranabe palm, and believed to
be the medemia nobilis. The trunks
of these palms contain from four to
eleven pounds of pith, which is
scooped out by the natives, dried,
ground up and sifted When fresh
it is said to taste slightly sweet. The
French chemist to whom some of this
palm flour was sent for examination
says that when received by him It no
longer tasted sweet, and chemical
tests failed to disclose the presence
Of sugar. He found over 60 per cent.
of starch and 10 per cent. of pro
teids. The food value of this palm
pith is greater than that of potatoes,
vans or manioc.-ColIier's Weekly.

The Life Of a Bride.

A woman may know that she has
ceased to be a bride only
When she finds herself saying UNI
complimentary things to her husband.
The first time her husband criti-
cises her frocks.
When she discovers she is jealous.
When he grows economical with
his kisses.
When she begins to nag.
When he become sarcastic about
the food
When she does not mind coming
to breakfast in curl papers
When he tells her how pretty some
other woman looks.
When he begins to eulogize his
mother.
When a meal becomes so quiet that
she can plan a whole frock between
the courses.
When he begins to go to his club.
When she begins to hunt up her
old friends and enjoys calling on
them.
When he comes in late for dinner.
When she forgets to come home
from the matinee in time TO greet him
before dinner.-M Minneapolis Tribune.

The young people seemed to con

though trying to assure himself of
something; Eyes, of course, Vesuvius

That was too much for the maiden
woman. She rose hastily, and swept

proceeded toward the door she no

Indians" said Dr. Chivers, are a tribe
in Montana numbering about l,9OO,
and although they have not been con-
verted to Christianity, they sent an
appeal to me about two years ago to
found a school for their children III
Large Grass, Mont. The school which
we founded there as the result OF this
request differs from the usual Gov
eminent Indian schools in that it IS
built near the homes of the Indians,
and so permits the children both to
attend school and live at home.
"The Indians are SO glad for this
educational opportunity that they pre-
serve excellent order and so dispense
with the need of school policeman,
who is one. of the necessary officers
of all Government Indian schools.
The gratitude of these Indians shows
notably in thos gifts of White Arm,
who donated of his lands, which
amounted to 100 acres, and even his
own house. Since the beginning the
attendance has been thirty-one pupils.
and not even for a day has there been
any falling off. The children are so
eager to attend that they object to
having Saturday holiday and every
one of the pupils has bought a new

at school during lunch hours.

The maiden lady OF uncertain age
who had descended to breakfast in
the hotel dining room, was clearly
finding the unsocial silence which
prevailed at her meal little to her
taste
She cast furtive, longing chances at
the merry, chatterng groups at sur
rounding tables. The crusty-looking
old man who sat on her left, however,
divided his attention strictly between
his beefsteak and his morning paper,
presenting an impregnable front to
any advance at acquaintanceship
Suddenly the maiden woman's face
frightened. She beheld the head
waiter bearing down in her direction,
bringing a married couple to the va
cant seats on the Opposite srugT of
the table. They we're young, and APP
peared not unapproachable. In fact,
they met her advances halfway, and
before five minutes she had learned
that they had just returned from
abroad

ed. How unfortunate some people
are! l have always longed to travel
but have never got outside of this
country in my life. Do tell me about
your trip"
The couple flushed with pleasure at
this tribute of enthusiastic interest.
WELL" said the man, with little
laugh, 1--WE were touring over there
for three months, and so managed to
see quite a bit. Oh! yes, Gibraltar, of
course, and Tangier, and Algiers-"
"Ah!" said the maiden woman,
with an envious sigh, 81 have always
dreamed of beholding the sun rise
over Tangier, from across the bay
To watch the day dawn over that
city, with the surf rolling in creamy
curves on it's shore, with its white
buildings, spectral at first in the dim
light warming one after another into
rose and ivory tints under the red
dening daybreak, it must be

eyes" replied the younger woman,
Il remember the other passengers
telling about it the next morning
Our steamer anchored off shore in
the evening, and every one else went
to bed early just to be up in time to
see the sun rise. So we stayed up on
deck till very late that night when
things were very quiet; and we were
not awake early the next morning !"
But" the maiden woman protest
ed, wasn't that a shame? You can
so often sit on the deck of a steamer
at night; but you may never again
have the chance to see the sun rise
over Tangier."
Il don't think we missed much"
returned the younger woman, with a
quiet smile. ct was quite chilly-do

Perhaps" she remarked, rather
coldly, you didn't even notice the
city Of Algiers as your boat approach
ed it? | was going to ask what it
appeared most like to you" Then,
as the faces opposite iler looked rath-
er blank, she went on to explain: "It
is such white city, you know, and
built so close together that at a dis
lance some say it looks just like a
flight of marble stairs carved out of
the mountain side on which it rises;
and others have likened it to snow
drift, and great chalk pit"
ooh, yes, i recollect," said the
young man, glibly, though his tone
told that he didn't recollect at all.
yes, Algiers is very, very white. We
stayed there almost week,
Then, of course, you visited the
Great Mosque" said the maiden wom-
an; but suspicion shone in her eyes.
Il have always longed to see that
mosque" she added, quietly. ut is,
| believe, the most wonderful archi-
tectural monument Of early Moham-
medan art remaining to u.s."
"Ah, yes" said the younger WON
an, smiling brightly, eve visited it.

have always understood" she added,
almost severely, chat it is the utter
lack of simply long Wis
tas of white pillared aisles opening
out endlessly to right and left as one
proceeds, which produces in that
Mosque its unequaled effect of vast
ness and mystery"
The young man laughed.
"Joye! You're as good as a guide
book" he said
His wife merely murmured-
Perhaps you are right. Anyhow,
the cathedrals Of Spain were lovely"

gan to revive.

of them contain!"
81 don't know-oh! yes, of course,
I'm sure they do" replied the young
err woman. dreamily But they were
so altogether lovely. So solemn and
gloomy. You could hardly see a
thing"
The enthusiasm faded from the
maiden womans face. She changed
the subject.
Tell me, from what side was the
leunine aspect of Gibraltar clear to
you?" she asked. Most say that
the lion faces south; some others
that he lies with his head toward
Spain. OF course, it all depends upon

ed, after a moment, Gibraltar is the
lion couchant. But l don't remember
that it was particularly different from
different sides. The town itself was

point. And do you remember the day
when we tried to ascend the rock to
the Moorish Castle and the galleries?
First we were ordered back for pa

step that afternoon sentry would
pop up and demand to inspect these.
They seemed to regard us with the
greatest suspicion"

The Mayor ia to be an ex-offlcio member of the hoard. This establishment of city hospital Is considered good move and if will remove from the shoulders of inc limited Charities a great load.
 Another ordinance that will probably be passed at the meeting Monday night Is the one that was recommended by a committee from the Board of Health at the August meeting of the Council, that a meat and milk Inspector be ap- pointed for the city and that union slaughter pen be established. An ordi- nance similar to the one now in opera ton in Montgomery was prepared. which 1t Is thought will cover all of the essential points.
 The law requires that these ordi- nances shall be published in a news paper and that they shall walt for thir- ty days before they can be passed. These requirements will have been met when the Council meets Monday night and no doubt this ordinance will be passed. The passing of this ordinance will create a new office which will have to be filled by the Council, but whether if will be filled at the meeting Monday night Is not known.

Bell Zanone, the white woman who Friday morning stabbed the negro Ali Gardner near the oorncr of Lawrence and North Streets, was carried to the county jail yesterday afternoon. as she was unable to make bond for the sum of $500 for her appearance in Police Court next Wednesday morning. when the trial has been set for hearing. Mir. Pennington succeeded in making his bond last night and was released.
 The negro who was stabbed, Ali Gard ner, is getting along very well today and his attending physician thinks that he will be able to be up in few days. The wound that he received will hardly terminate fatally now unless he devel- opes pneumonia.

License Revoked.

Harvey Fair, a negro hackman, ap- peared in Police Court this morning on two charges, those of robbery and at tempt at rape. The defendant in the case was a negro woman who claimed that her home was in Macon, Ga, and Fair had a warrant made out against her for refusing to pay hack fare. The offenses were said to have been com mitted Thursday night. when the hack man took the woman to the depot to see about getting ticket to Savannah
 It was claimed that he brought her uptown, went to a bar room and bought a quantity of beer and then drove the hack with the woman out near the race track. The testimony in the case was that of the woman against the man, and at the conclusion of the case Mayor Atkins said that he did not think that there was enough evidence to warrant his binding the negro over to the grand fury. but that he thought that he was guilty of some offense. He dismissed the warrant against Fair for; robbery and changed the other one to disorderly conduct, assessing a fine of $25 or fifty days on the streets.
 The negro was then questioned as to whom he drove a hack for and stated that he had been driving a hack for the past four years and that he drove for himself. His hack was No. IT and the license was issued in the name of Duncan Irby. Mayor, Atkins ordered that this license be cancelled and that Fair should not be allowed to drive a public hack in the city any more.

The management of The Selma Jour nal, the afternoon paper here. has an- nounced that beginning with the first of October the paper will be gotten out with linotype machines. These ma chimes have been ordered and will be installed in the office by October and will be the first typesetting machines ever used in this city for any pur- pose.
 The reason for the installing of the linotype machines is on account of the increased patronage that the paper has of late been receiving and the inability, with hand composition. to get the paper out in time to catch the early afternoon mails out of the city. The management of The Journal has made many im- provements In the plant of late and the endeavor to give Selmians and the peo- pie of this section of the State a first class afternoon paper is greatly appre. ciated by hundreds of readers.
