state Of New York at the close OF his presi-
dental term. and that his first speech will
be In opposition TO Interference by the ex-
ecutive with the legislative branch OF the

Cornfeld Lawyers.

One day, during the debate on the rate

"cornfield lawyers" well as "constitu-
tonal lawyers in that body. Everyone who
heard the remark is wondering whom he

from a cotton country. SO does Mr.. Tnlman,
Mr.. Bacon, Mr.. Culberson and other gentle

Senator Dolliver would have risen from his
seat and acknowledged the compliment with
graceful bow. Doliiver has been very
much admired during the present session,
both by people in the galleries and by his
colleagues on the floor. He has shown zeal
tact and patience in the most trying situa-
tons. 1t has been wonderful to behold. and
the beauty OF his character. as displayed
this winter, has overshadowed his beauty

TREE OF GREAT VALUE.
Many Uses of the carnahuba Palm,
Growing in Brazil.

The most marvellous tree in the
world is the Carnahuba palm, which
grows in Brazil.
1t has recently been stated that in
the great meat packing factories in
Chicago every portion of the pig is
used, except the squeal. With re-
spect to the Carnahuba palm one can
not eve reserve the bark.
It's roots produce the same medi-
cinal effect IS sarsaparilla.
From parts of the tree wine and vim
egar are made.
Its fruit is used for feeding cattle.
OF the straw, hats, baskets, brooms
and mats are made. 1t is also used
for matching houses.
The pulp has an agreeable taste,
and the nut, which is oleaginous and
emulsive, is sometimes used as a
substitute for coffee.
Its stems afford strong, light ibers,
which acquire a beautiful luster, and
serve also for joists, rafters and other
building materials.
1t yields also a saccharine sub
stance, as well as a starch resembling
sage.
Of the wood of the stem musical in
struments, water tubes and pumps are
made.
From the stem a white liquid sim
liar to the milk of the cocoanut, and a
flour resembling maizena, may be ex-
tracted.
Moreover, salt is extracted from the
