The Corkscrew Palm.

What is known as the corkscrew
palm is a familiar plant to West In
dams. The palm resembles the bayo-
net variety, but instead of the long,
sharp sabers springing from the center
of the palm and reaching upward in
the way they happen to come the cork
screw palm has its spikes Joined to-
gether at the heart, and they form a
winding row from the base to the top.
1t is said that these palm leaves inva-
riably wind themselves like a cork
screw, from right to left, going up, but
occasionally freak plants have been
noticed where the direction was re-
versed. This is, however, a very rare
occurrence. The corkscrew palm is
purely decorative. 1t grows to height
of from six to ten feet and reaches a
diameter of four to six. 1t takes sew
eral years, even in a tropical country,
where all plant and animal life ma
lures rapidly, for one of these curious
palms to grow to full height

THE SILVER BULLET.
One of the Tragic Incidents of the
American Revolution.

One of the Tragic Incidents of the
American Revolution.
One of the strangest incidents Of the
American Revolution Is the story of
the silver bullet.
The year was 1777. Burgoyne, push
ing down from the north. was expect
ing to effect junction with Sir Henry
Clinton at Albany. The field Of Sara
toga was still before him.
Clinton was pressing up the Hudson
valley from New York. After taking
Fort Montgomery, in the Highlands, he
continued north to Aesopus, now
Kingston, which was captured and
burned. But first he sent from Fort
Montgomery letter to Burgoyne.
AS the message had to pass through
the American lines, the letter was in
closed in silver bullet, coated with
lead, and the spy who carried II placed
1t in his pocket with a few real bullets.
In Duchess county the spy was cap
tured. There was no evidence against
him. His captors seem to have been
nearly convinced that he was telling a

men searching him happened on the
bullets. The man noticed that one bul
let was lighter than the others.
why" he exclaimed, this can never
be bullet; it's too lightp'
At this moment the spy snatched the
bullet and swallowed It, The incident
was promptly reported to Governor
George Clinton, commander of the
Revolutionary force, and by his direc-
ton a surgeon recovered the bullet
In 1t was found Sir Henry Clinton's
letter, which read as follows:

cess of his may facilitate your opera

Swiss shoemakers.

Swiss shoemakers work ten to twelve
hours a day "The factory workman
says Special Agent Arthur B. Butman
in United States government report,
is required during the summer to
begin his labor at 4:30 or a. m. This
early hour is demanded In order that
the fresh energies of the workers may
be obtained by the employer, as near
ly all artisans are engaged to a great
er or less degree in agriculture for per-
sonal benefit. During the winter sea
son work in factories commences at 6
o'clock. Fifteen and twenty minute
rests are allowed at 8 and 4 o'clock
respectively, when refreshments of
beer and bread are taken. From one
to one and one-half hours are allowed
for dinner. The principal food OF
Swiss shoemakers consists of bologna,
bread and cheese, with beer; fresh
meat is seldom eaten unless on feast
days; soups are served on Sundays"

kinIinn as an Art Critic.

As an after dinner speaker the au-
thor Of "The Absentminded Beggar" is,
even his most ardent admirers will con-
fess, not a success. As an art critic
he has pretensions. His friend Baden
Powell thinks himself something of an
artist and is an assiduous member of

Magazine, struggling with pencil and
water colors one would think he cared
more for artistic than military re-
nown." Upon one of the gallant sol

written two verses. One runs as fol-
lows:

A Mast Cartoon.

Among the people who attended the
recent sale in New York of the Thorn
as Mast cartoons was a man who had
called on the cartoonist years ago at
his home in Morristown for the pur-
pose of seeing and talking to the art
ist, for whom he had great admira-
ton. In the course of the pleasant in
terview the visitor expressed a desire
to buy a rough sketch of a cartoon
showing Boulanger receiving the re-
suit of the French elections in which
the general had been defeated. Mast
said that he thought too much of ii
to part with the sketch. When lot

as the coveted cartoon, and the man
who could not buy it few years ago

SMELLING A TOWN.
All Its Houses Built of Bricks of Gold
and Silver Ore

and Silver Ore.
One reads of romantic castles of sill
yer and palaces of gold, but they are
the dreams of fiction. Now they have
discovered something as strange on the
map of Mexico. The buildings of a
whole town have been bought at so
much ton, based on assays from the
adobe walls, which give gold and silver
values. This town is Guanaj uato's
suburb, Tepetapa, at a value Of about
$4,000 Mexican currency.
The value of this little town was re-
vealed when the Mexican Central de-
cided to build into the city of Guiana
juato and to establish a station there
1t was found necessary to tear down
about 300 buildings which had been
built of the shines produced by the
grinding of ores from the numerous
mines of the district. Straw was mixed
with the slime to make the adobe
bricks.
When it became known that the Cen
trail would have to tear down these
houses an enterprising ore buying
company asked for permission to as
say ore taken from the buildings This
was granted, and samples were picked
from the walls at various heights and
on various sides of the buildings, the
assays running in value from SO to $24
a ton in gold and silver The values
averaged about So gold ton.
AS the buildings were built in vari-
GUS bonanza epochs, it was found that
the values varied to a large extent
For instance, a wall on one side of a
house would assay a low value, where
as wall on the other side, built at an
earlier or later time, would assay a
high value. A mans kitchen might
assay 60 cents a ton and his parlor
$50.
That the walls are found to contain
more gold than silver values is due to
the fact that the old patio process of
treating the ores was more effective in
extracting silver than gold values, and
the shines left were richer in gold than
silver. 1t will be harder to build such
a town in the future, as the camp is
now fitted out with modern appliances
for treating ores.-Mexican Herald.
