Ring Giving In Spain.

: It is a dangerous thing for a
Spanish lover to present lady with
a ring unless he desires soon to mar
ry her. The Spanish courts have
over and over again held that such
a present was the same as be-
trothal and that ring which had
been presented by a man is sufficient
evidence of an engagement having
existed between them. Spanish
brides have a deep superstition
against removing the wedding ring
from the finger after it. has once
been placed there. The only occa-
sion upon which they can be induced
to do this is when guests at the we'd
ding feast desire to pass pieces of
the wedding cake nine times through
the ring. These pieces Of cake are
afterward taken home to be put I'M
der pillows, and the young girl who
does this is supposed to dream of
her future husband.

A Reversal.

81 once attended some legal pro-
ceedings in Nevada" says a Phila-
delphia lawyer, (which were uncon-
ventional, to say the least. The
judge presiding made up what he
lacked in legal lore by certain
entertaining joviaHty. The case be-
fore him was windy and long drawn
out, and it was plainly. to be seen
that he was tired and uninterested.
To one of his decisions counsel for
the defendant promptly took excep-
ton, and his honor nodded careless
" and settled down in his ample
chair. For a moment or two he
quietly dropped off to sleep, his
chair tilted back against the wall.
Suddenly he fell over backward, and,
scrambling to his dignity and his
seat, he sought to cloak his mishap
by exclaiming abruptly and irrele-
vanity, No, counselor, I must adj
here to my decision of moment
ago.
Counsel for the defense arose
and with a serious bow, said, tAh,
but your honor has just reversed
himself most conclusively. Har-

THE SAGO PALM.
How Its Delicious Praduct Is Obtained
by the East Indians.


Is it from their noble aspect or on
account of their utility that the
palms have been termed the princes
Of the vegetable kingdom? Neither
the anatomy Of the stem nor the
form Of the flower entities them to
such a position. The stem is as
simple as that Of the common broom
and the flower as that of the rush.
Yet they have always been of great
interest to the botanist, and their
historical and legendary associat tons
and their beauty and their economic
value have made them of interest tc
the public.
More than a thousand species Of
the palm are scattered at different
elevations throughout the tropics Of
both hemispheres, with stragglers in
subtropical and even in warm, tenn
perate regions. Their utility can
scarcely be overestimated. They
furnish food, shelter, clothing, tim
Der, fuel, building materials, sticks,
fiber, paper, starch, sugar, oil, wine,
wax, tannin, starch, dyeing mate
rails, resin and "a host OF minor
products, which make them Of .tila
greatest value to the natives aEl tc
tropical agriculturists.
One of the most important is the
sage palm of the East Indian archi-
pelago. The tree fourishes only in
low, marshy situations and seldom
reaches height of thirty feet. Ii
attains a starch yielding condition
at the age of fifteen years. The
stem is then gorged with mass OF
starchy matter, around which is a
hard outer rind about two inches In
thickness. We're the fruit allowed
to form and ri pen the whole of this
starchy core would disappear and
leave the stem a mere hollow shell,
for when the tree ripens its fruit it
dies.
1t seems strange that a man can
consume a tree, but it is SO. The
preparation consists in cutting off
the branches and the hard rind of
the trunk The stem is then divided
into sections and split up, and the
starchy pith is extracted and grated
to powder When the starch is
roughly grated or pounded into pulp
and made into cakes one tree will
feed a man for whole year.
That which is intended for ex-
portation is mixed into paste with
water and rubbed through sleeves
into small grains. 1t is known as
pearl sage, bullet sage, ETC., accord
ing to its size, and is served on our
tables and in soups and buildings.
