The Most Useful Tree.

From the Dundee Advertiser.
Probably the most useful tree in the
world is the c%ocoanut palm, every por-
ton of which is put to good use. The
trunk is used for building houses. for
making furniture and farm implements
and countless other articles; followed
out it makes a canoe. ItS~leaves are
used for matching. the leaH Stalks for
paddles and fishing lines. The blossom
in bud makes preserves and pickles,
besides serving as a staple vegetable.
From the pith of the trunk is derived a
kind Of sage, and from the flowers
sugar., vinegar and toddy, which, af-
ter fermentation, becomes arrack. The
ripe cocoanut is a valuable articles Of
diet. The white kernel produces a de-
Vicious cream, a good substitute for
cows milk, while the oil is used as a
lubricant, for soar and candle making.
1t is also applied TO counterfeit the
stings of scorpions. The refuse Of the
Gil, or oil cake. is valuable as food for
animals and poultry. n as manure
for the soil. From the shell drinking
cups, spoons, lamps, bottles, firewood,
and. even tooth powder are obtained,
The husk supplies fibre for mattresses
and cushions, brushes and mats, ropes.
cables, nets II even the harness for
bullocks. The webb sustaining the foot
stalks is made into strainers and torch
es. The tree acts as a conductor in
protecting houses from lightning.

AMERICAN LAWNS.

In every human production there is a
touch of individuality peculiar to the
worker and so it is with the American
garden. The smooth lawns with only a
few gorgeous flowers beds or borders and
well-kept trees are the universal and prac-
tically only style of garden in America.

A Japanese newcomer to this country
writes that seeing these plain green front
grounds for the first time, she was under
the impression hat the real garden ex-
listed In the rear. Now, knowing that this
Is not the case, the striking display of ma
tional characteristic appeals to her, and
she expresses herself thus: 1.-The exposure
Of a private garden to the public enjoy
ment-cultivating it in front of the house.,
along the street. with M barriers to Sc
clude tt-seems to reveal q spirit of CO.
operation and observation-disclosures. What a
boundless benefit it is for the public to
have the roadside thus frightened and
beautifed with various flowers and greens,
which man adores by nature. A wretched
beggar may enjoy the smile Of spring as
much as the owner of a garden; poor tene-
ment house children may be as familiar
with nature as any favorites Of fortune.
Here continental magnanilnity is exhibit
ed, in decided contrast to our seif-seeking
seclusion, natural to all islanders.
But I have a slight discomfort in this
full decoration of front grounds, for, be-
sides Its lack Of artistic design, l see in 1T
perhaps because of prejudice-the same
motive displayed as in making an array
of dishes on dining room walls. or in hav-
ing all of ones beautiful pictures in sight
at one time, the exhibition of all ones
choicest possessions, which does not ac-
cord with the Japanese idea of liking to
use silk lining for cotton clothes"
But she must and does admit that none
but such a form of garden could keep har.
mony with the commanding American
houses and their practical inhabitants. II
one were to settle miniature rock noun.
tains and artificial ponds, with log bridges
and antique stone lanterns upon the sunny
open grounds before enormous coloreC
buildings, the result would be homogeneous
not to say ridiculous. No more would ar
up to date American woman prove to be {
fitting figure in the quiet colored shady
scenes of a Japanese garden.
The imaginative gardens of Japan, to
gether with their lowly matched cottages
may furnish some pleasure-ground sug
gestions for this country while it is like
ly that the practical gardens of America
will be more frequently adopted by thu
Japanese.

ii TURKEY CROP.

Last fall when 1 was travelling
through Missouri I noticed q great
many iocks Of turkeys on farms. Often
would see a bunch of from fifty to.
100, | &, bronze fellows that would
weigh from fifteen to twenty-five
pounds and when these would
sell from $3.50 to $3.50 each, 1t will be
seen that the business is very profit
able. The expense Of raising them is
very small. as turkeys are great for
ayers and they pick up their living
about the farm where bugs and grass
hoppers are plentiful. Those who are
very successful tell me that turkeys
are very hard to raise up to Ave or six
weeks, as they are very puny and liable
to all sorts of complaints. But, hav-
ing passed that period, they are no
more trouble and grow very fast. Tur-
keys cannot stand confinement as we'll
as chickens, and it is best to allow
them to follow their own inclination
and roost in the trees or on the sheds,
instead of on low perches. There is
nothing better than corn for fattening.
and they must be given all they will
eat for three or our weeks lust before
marketing.

ALANe OF NEW N

All Other Kinds of Vegetation.

From the New York Sum
DR.. Pooh, the Austrian, anthr0pOioEtst.-
who has spent a long time An New Guinea
studying it's natives and its geography
tells of a remarkable variety OF grass that
makes fierce warfare upon Other kinds OF
vegetation SO that practically no&hang else
grows where 1t gets a foo4hofA.
The natives call 1t alang- Ii has q tai.
thick and tough staik, but it's greateet
popularity is Its roots, which spread ont
through every particle OF earth they reach
and give II a matted texture something
like felt. There Is really no room left
for the roots of any other kind Of vegcta--
ton.
Fields OF alang cannot exist In forests
because the plant does not thrive in the
shade. Neither can any kind Of tree make
adw In a patch Of alane-
The two kinds Of vegetation are a~nfagon-
isdo. One will not grow where the other
exists. Large patches Of alanE are found
surrounded by timber and remain there
like islands, for no tress will grow in them.
Between the alang and the forest n q sore
Of neutral zone, for the shade OF tho high
trees prevents the d-eyelopanent OF tina
grass. 81
The New Guinea natives help to extend
the area covered by this grass Each year
| they make a new clearing In tho forest
for their little plantations. As soon AZ
these are abandoned the alanE takes firm
}odgment there. It has won just SO much
territory from the forest and Il yields tc

The Way 1t Read.
From ~Eyerybodva


The editor Of a little western paper
was in the habi Of cheering UP his.
subscribers daily with a column OK
short pertinent on their
town, their habits. and themselves. The
department on account Of it's intimate
personal flavor was the most popular
thing in the paper.
The editor. as he saw 1t growing fa
favor. gradually allowed himself a.
wider latitude in his remarks, until this
town passed much Of its town conjec-
turing what he'd das't to say next"
On a hot day, when the siInaosl
whistled gaily up the streets OF the
town, depositing everywhere it's burden
of sand. the editor brough forth this
gem Of thought:
All the windows along Main street
need washing badly"
The next morning he was waited or
by a platoon Of indignant citizens who
confronted him with the paragraph fx,
question fresh from the hands of the
cornpositor and informed him 1lerceiy
that he had zone too far. After a hassy
n Mortified glance he admitted that
he had.
1t now read:
"All the widows along Main street
need washing badly
