Immense leaves of Palm.

The palm family bears longer
leaves than any other known tree.
The Inaga palm, growing on the
banks of the Amazon, has leaves
which reach from 35 to so feet in
length, and 10 to IL feet in breadth
Specimens of the talepot palm, ma
tive of Ceylon, has been met with 20
feet long and IS feet broad. These
leaves are used by the natives to
make tents, and, thus employed, they
make very efficient shelters from rain.
The leaves of the double cocoanut
palm are often 30 feet long and sew
eral wide. The leaves of the canni-
bal tree of Australia resemble broad
planks and are frequently Is feet
long, 20 inches broad and IA feet
thick at the base. These boardlike
leaves all shoot out at the top and
hang down so as to form a sort of
umbrella around the stem. The UNI
brella tree of Ceylon has leaves of
such enormous size that a single one
will cover from Is to 20 men, and
often serves as a canopy to a boat,
or a tent for soldiers. A specimen
leaf taken to England measured 80
feet round.

rHE Whit RIvER couNrRY.


In the opinion Of one who has trav.
eled much and observed closely. the
most truly and rightfully contented
people in the United States to-day are
the small landowners in what is
known as the Upper White River Coun-
try, anywhere from Newport, Ark, to
Carthage. Mo. They are contented be-
cause their surroundings are ideal and.
until recently, the great, uneasy, dis
quieting world, with its artificial needs
and inadequate cOmpensations. has
been to them but little more tangible
than a dream. Here, still existent,
and by reason of their very rarity at
this day and time more delectable
than in the past, are the conditions
which have ever appealed with ire
sistible force to the independent-spir-
tied Anglo-Saxon. Every man is the
supreme ruler OF his own little prin-
eipality; acknowledging no master
save the law-and possibly his fem.
mime helpmeet; cringing to no EN-.
ployer; asking no favors from the
world. save those that his neighbors
fseely extend and expect as freely in
return. He lives in latitude where
the extremes of heat or cold are never
known, and at an altitude that insures
perfect health. The richest bounty
of Nature has been showered upon
him with unsparing hand, but 1t is a
question whether he more than dimly
realizes the fact. He accepts as mat
ter of course the fertile soil which
produces in abundance every Guilty..
able growth common to the north
temperate zone, the surrounding for.
ests of valuable woods and the under
lying stratas of precious minerals, the
springs and streams of translucent
purity on every hand. the wealth of
fish and game at his very door, such as
less favored mortals annually travel
hundreds OF miles to find. He is con-
tented. but small credit is his for that,
for how could he we'll be otherwise
than content? 1t is sad that such
idealistic conditions may not con-
tinue, but it is written that the pres
ent possessors of this favored land
must soon give place to others more
appreciative of its Incompatible fea-
lures. A railroad has recently cut its
way through the best of this region,
and the unaccustomed rustic of bank
notes and chink of coin will eventually
tempt the hill-dweller to part with his
birthright. So it has always been in
the worlds history-the good things
that are ours without price invariably
pass from our hands before we come
to understand their value. The White
River country will shortly be discov-
cred anew by class of immigrants
better capable of judging it's POSSIBLE
ities-the men who seek modest
homes where the ''lay of the lard"
will effectually prevent crowding by
too close neighbors, where their cat.
tie can fatten on free range, where
the wealth of forest and mine awaits
development by intelligent workers,
and where the game and fish offer en-.
joyable recreation to all who have
leisure and inclination for sport.

About What Her Husband Would Say.

Mich. woman tried Postum Food
Coffee because ordinary coffee dis
agreed with her and her husband. She
writes:
"Hy husband was sick for three
years with catarrh of the bladder, and
palpitation of the heart, caused by
coffee. Was unable to work at all
and in bed part of the time.
Il had stomach trouble, was weak
and fretful so | could not attend to
my housework-bo of us using cot
fee all the time and realizing it was
harmful
"One morning the grocer's wife
said she believed coffee was the cause
of our trouble and advised Postum.
l took 1t home rather dubious about
what my husband would say-he was
fond of coffee.
But / took coffee right of the
table, and we haven't used cup of
it since. You should have seen the
change in us, and now my husband
never complains of heart palpitation
any more. My stomach trouble went
away in two weeks after l began Pos
tum My children love it and it does
them good, which can't be said Of
coffee.
"A lady visited US who was always
half sick. / told her Id make her a
cup of Postum. She said it was taste
less stuff, but she watched me make
it, boiling it thoroughly for Is min
utes, and when done she said it was
splendid. Long boiling brings out the
flavor and food quality" Name given

as a rich ore bearer than at present;
and further, there's the statement of
another prominent citizen and mining
expert having no interest therein what
tever, but who has proven up leases each
side sufficiently to convince him that
a strong ore bearing range runs through
the land controlled by the Slack COM
pany, one which ought to pay we'll

Cocker mine, situated between Mifilin
and Livingston and also the property
of Mineral Point parties, is not hur-
rahed about as much as it deserves.
This winter the Cocker has shipped
100, 600 pounds of lead ore, say nothing
of its zinc output for which the mine is
noted, while new strike made re-

Queer for more than generation.
All mines and prospects referred to
in the foregoing are either located within
our city or adjacent thereto or con-
trolled by citizens Of this place. That
all will prove fortune makers would be
an unreasonable claim, but it is ques-
tionable If there is another town within
the now famous district having an equal
number of mines and of equal merit.
From these many though brief state
ments can be CLEANED what the enter
prise and capital of Mineral Point
have done and still are doing TO establish
Southwest Wisconsin AS the leading
mining center of the country.
From all towns in the district come
reports of great activity and ilattering
discoveries. All of course will not prove
to be bonanzas, but it is hoped very
great majority of them will.

says Mining enthusiasts of this place
who have visited the old Joplin fields
of Missouri return to say that Wiscon-
sin mines turn out as good galena and
zinc as do the Missouri mines" II
should be remembered that GAINESVILLE
is outside the district; therefore, this
statement should count for much. And
does it not beal out the Tribunes oft

This. too, is the property of Mineral

One of the prominent mines recently
