unreliable is public opinion. Milbrath
came in not only for sympathy, but for
praise.
We spent the greater part of the after
noon in receiving reporters; for as was
one of them in spirit. I had not the heart
to deny them a good story.
My own story of the case l reserved for
the New York Sphere, and that was
meager in sensation compared with the

We had sent Bridgeman home on the

greenbacks which Milbrath insisted that
he should accept from him.
Milbrath looked SO exhausted that
hesitated to recall the papers that lay
hidden beneath the carpet. But he had
not forgotten them. and presently he

Garden in the Orient.
From the Century.


garden does not necessarily mean
a collection of flowers arranged more
or less symmetrically, with spaces Of
lawn, shelter of trees, and paths hith-
err and thither There have been gardens
that beyond terra-cotta jar or two
holding a rosebush or a Towering almond
have had no green thing within their
gates. / know of an oriental garden in
Fee where white garmented Moors come
in the cool OF the evening to sit and
listen to ancient stories that they know
by heart, or to music that was old when
the pyramids were new, or perhaps to
look at a dancing girl or two taking
soft steps while they smoke their narg-
hiles; yet that garden is nothing more
than a series of arches upholding walls
beyond walls, toned a faint mysterious
yellow that Is not yellow, but white, and
yet not white, but rose. In the middle
is pool of water in a stone basin that
looks blue because of the intense sky
overhead. and that shimmers with golden
reflections from walls. In corner stands
a mighty jar full of strange. scarlet
blossoms. and rugs of deep color and in
tricate pattern lie on the sun-warmed
flags. There is always the fairy music
of dropping water, and wonderful
shadows move among the arches. aThis
place is a garden for all that is so
builded of man. The word court will not
do for it. 1t may be that a garden, as
has been said of Boston, is less a material
thing than state of mind. The story of
the Garden of Eden seems to hint at
something of the sort; and had we all
permission to create an Eden of our own,
doubtless these would vary as greatly
as do the secret desires of every heart
the inner life of every soul. If, there
fore, in speaking of a garden. one pic
lures something that to another may not
appear to conform strictly to the term.
what matter? II the garden spirit Is
there, it will incarnate itself for the true
believer. who is always seer.

MOST USEFUL TREE.
Every Portion of the Cocoanut Palm
of Value.

From the Chicago Tribune.
Probably the most useful tree jim the
world Is the cocoanut palm, every portion
of which is put to good use. The trunk is
used for building houses. for making fur
niture and farm implements and count
less other articles; followed out ii makes
a canoe. Its leaves are used for thatch-
ing. the leaf stalks for paddles and fishing
lines. The blossom in bud makes pre-
serves 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 after fermentation becomes
arrack. The ripe cocoanut Is valuable
article of diet. The white kernel pro-
duceS q delicious cream, good SuDStl-
tute for milk. while the oil is used as
lubricant for soap and candle making. 1t
is also applied TO counterfeit the stings
Of scorpions.
valuable as food for animals and poul-
try and as fertilizer for the soil. From
the shell drinking cups, spoons. lamps,
bottles. firewood and even tooth powder
are obtained. The husk supplies fiber for
mattresses and cushions. brushes and
mats. ropes, cables, nets and even the
harness for bullocks. The web sustain
ing the footstalks is made into strainers
and torches. The tree acts con-
ductor in protecting houses from light
ming.
Another useful tree is the breadfruit OF
Ceylon, a remarkable tree. The fruit is
baked and eaten by the natives as we
eat bread, and is equally good and nu-
tritious. In Barbatu. South America. Is
a tree which by piercing the trunk pro-
duces milk, with which the inhabitants
feed their children. In the interior of
Africa is tree which produces excellent
butter. 1t is said to resemble the Ameri-
can oak and its fruit. from which the
butter is prepared, is not unlike the olive.
Park, the great traveller. declared that the
butter surpassed any made i'm England
from cows milk.
Sierra Leone has a tree which produces
cream fruit. which is agreeable to the
taste. At Table Bay. near the Cape OF
Good Hope. is small tree, the berries
of which make useful candies Ii Is also
found in the Azores. The vegetable tai
low tree also grows in Sumatra. In the
Island of Chusan large quantities OF oil
and tallow are extracted from its fruit.
which is gathered in November or Deceua-
Der. when the tree has lost its leaves. n
The weeping tree of the Canary Islands
is a kind of arboreaf freak. This tree in
the driest weather will rain down shop-
ers from its leaves and the natives gather
up the water from the pool formed at
the foot of the trunk and find il pure and
fresh. The tree eXudes the water from
innumerable pores situated at the base
of the leaves.
