 The team was selected from the stand point of fielding combined with hitting. Of course, individual players from the east outclass some of those named above. For instance, Chase is preferable to Cnance on first base. However, It would be impossible to pick a team from the east, or south for that matter. which could contend with the one mentioned above

The Most Useful Tree.

Probably the most useful tree in the
world is the cocoanut palm, every por-
ton of which is put to good use The
trunk Is used for building houses, for
making furniture ana farm implements
ana countless other articles; followed
out II makes n canoe. Its leaves are
used for matching. the leaf stalks for
paddles and fish lines The blossom in
bud makes a preserve and pickles, be-
sides serving as staple vegetable
From the pith of the trunk is derived
a Kind of sage, and from the flowers,
sugar vinegar and toddy, which, after
fermentation, become arrack. The ripe
cocoanut is a valuable article of diet
The white kernel produces a delicious
cream good substitute for cows milk,
while the oil is used as a lubricant, for
soap and candle making 1t is also ap-
Piled to counteract the stings of scor-
pions. The refuse of the oil, or oil cake,
Is valuable as food for animals and
poultry, and as a manure for the soil
From the shell drinking cups, spoons
lamps, bottles, firewood, and even tooth
powder are obtained. The husk sup
plies fibre for mattresses and cushions,
brushes and mats. ropes, cables, nets
and even the harness for bullocks. The
web sustaining the footstalks is made
into strainers and torches. The tree
acts as conductor in protecting houses
from lightning. Advertiser.

The BAKING Of the Green.

Many years ago there was observed
unique custom in the little town of Gull
ford Conn. on one day in the fall Of
the year the women of the town assem-
bled on the village green. Each carried
a wooden rake decorated with her favor
lite color, and each was dressed in white,
decked out with colored ribbons. 1t was
a day of fete, and it was called THE
Rakng of the Green"
Then with song and laughter and with
many a jest this band of women cleaned
the village green of all the leaves and
refuse and dirt of a years accumulation
When the job was done, they adjourned
to the town hall, where they were Joined
by their husbands, and brothers, and the
village fathers. A public banquet cele-
brated the occasion.
While this was not the first chartered
village improvement association in the
country 1t was probably at that time the
most enthusiastic, and had perhaps the
largest attendance. New Haven Conn.
can rightly claim the first effort in village
improvement, while Stockbride, Mass,
should be remembered as Offering the
second.
More than one hundred years ago James
Hillhouse, of New Haven, organized what
he called the Public Green Association"
He raised $500 for grading the green and
for planting elms. One man is said TO
have donated five gallons OF rum for
this purpose. James Hillhouse was also
United States Senator for twenty years.
Almost every one had forgotten what he
did at Washington. but no one is ever
likely to forget his services in making the
city of New Haven classic by the beauty
of natures Gothic architecture The
whole country owes him a debt of graft
tude that can only be paid by planting
elms In his memory-[H. d. Ward in

One Of Our National Problems.

After thorough study Of the Philip
pines where he served both in the army
and on the bench, Judge James H. Blount
Sums up his experiences and Impressions
in an important article entitled Philip
pine ndcpendcnce-When?" in a recent
number OF the North American Review.
He believes that the independence OF
the Philippines should come about within
a few years-that is as soon as practic-
able-because IL is best for both Coun-
tries He goes on to say:
we are governing them against their
consent at an enormous cost to both
peoples. II the untold millions We have
spent on benevolent assimilation since
February, 1899, had been spent on rivers
and harbors and canals and the i'm
provement of our interior water trans
portation generally, the railroad rate
question would have solved itself with
out the need Of a rate bill. And tnis Is
not the only one of Mrs. Jellyby's ne
elected children. not the only domestic
problem which presents subject for
strenuous altruism sufficient TO occupy
all the patriotism and craftsmanship OF
this great country with its eighty mil
lions of peoples. If all the splendid
ability and grim fortitude that have been
concentrated during the last few years
upon telescope philanthropy in the
Philippines has been steadily focused
upon the economic and social problems
which are now clamoring ever more loud
ly and ominously for solution at home.
Hearst and Hearstism would never have
arisen to voice a profound and wide
spread discomfort having in it an element
OF righteousness.

The Truth About Brook Farm.

Never was there more interesting
movement undertaken in America than
that of Brook Farm, but seldom has any
thing been definitely written to satisfy
the constantly recurring queries as 10
who We're really its leaders and what was
its organization. Here quoted from
General Wilson's Life of Charles A.
Dana, recently published, is a full and in
teresting account OF It:
THE movement which eliminated in
the Brook Farm association grew pri-
marily out of the Transcendental club
which first attracted serious attention at
Boston about the year 1910.
The leading men i'm the movement
We're undoubtedly Emerson, Alcott Chan
ming Hodge and last, but not least. the
Reverend George Ripley. Many other
people of like temper and character, es-
pecially in New England, doubtless gave
support
1T was organized tentatively in the
winter of 1910, at which time Ripley de-
cided to buy the farm from which the or
ganization took its name. and to make
himself responsible for its management
and success In April of the next year.
with his wife and sister and some fifteen
others, he took possession of the farm
house and outbuilding already on the es-
tate. The first six months were spent
in getting started and in organizing the
Brook Farm Institute of Agriculture and
Education which constituted the special
attraction to Dana. who Joined late in
September and took part in forming the
articles OF association, getting subscrip-
lions to the stock. and in electing the
officers of the Institute.
THE par value of the shares was fixed
at $500 each, of which Dana took three,
and Ripley three the rest, In all twenty
four shares, were taken by various others,
including Nathaniel Hawthorne, in lots
of one, two, and three shares. The IA
vorite number seems to have been three
or the entire amount subscribed, only
one-third was actually paid in The
property consisted OF about 1872 acres,
and was situated in the town of Rox-
bury, on the road leading from Dedham
to WATERFOWL, about nine miles from
Boston The purchase price was $lO5OO,
of which $4,000 was secured by a mort
gage This was followed at once by a
second mortgage for IS, 900, from which
II will be seen that the place was mort
gagged to start with for $500 more than II
cost. Dana, although adolescent and
without any capital whatever was at
once elected recording secretary, one Of
the three trustees, and a member of the
committee of finance, and also of the COM
mittee on education.
THE sole asset of the association was
the farm, mortgaged at the start for more
than its value, while its only dependence
for actual income was the farm produce
which might be grown, and the charge
for tuition and board which would be
furnished to such as might join the insti-
tute"
