The place of its first home is uncertain. It was believed by the younger Candolle to have first appeared on some of the islands of the Indian archipelago, whence, it was carried either by ocean currents or by mnn to the southern coast of Asia, east tropical Africa, and to the islands and shores of Pacific tropical America. Undoubtedly it was brought by man to tlie West Indies and j Iiraz.il after the discovery of America by Europeans, although it has now so spread, through the action of ocean currents or by the agency of man, that it has every appearance of being in digenous on the shores of east tropical America. The coeoanut palm, says Garden and Forest, Is a magnificent plant, well named "a prince of the vegetable kingdom," with tall, slender columnar stem eighty or a hundred feet high, and rich pale yellow-green leaves which are thirty or forty feet long, and flutter and rustle with every breath of wind. The coeoanut grows only near the shore, where its roots, penetrating the sandy soil, may drink freely from clear underground springs. Of all trees it is the most useful to man, furnishing food, shelter and employment to hun dreds of thousands of the human race. In tropical countries, especially in southern India and Malaya, the cocoa nut supplies to whole communities the chief necessities of lifo. Every part Is useful; the roots are considered a rem edy against fevers; from the trunk housoB, boats and furniture are made; the leaves furnish the thatch for houses and the material from which baskets, hats, mats and Innumerable other articles are made; the network of fibers at their base is used for sieves and is woven into c'oth; from the young flower stalks a palm wine, called toddv, is obtained, from which arrack, a fiery alcoholic drink, is dis tilled. The value of the fruit is well known. From the husk, which is called coir, commercially, cordage, bedding, mats, brushes and other ar ticles are manufactured. In the trnplcs, lamns. drintciri? vessels and spoons arc made from the hard shells. The albumen of the seed contains large quantities of oil, used in the east for cooking and in illuminating; in Europe and the United States it is often made into soap and candles, yielding, after the oil is extracted, a refuse valuable as food for cattle, or as a fertiliser. In some parts of the tropics the kernel of the seed forms the chief food of the inhabitants. The cool, milky fluid which fills the cavity of the fruit when tlie nut is young affords an agreeable beverage, and the albumen of the young nut, which is soft and jelly nice, is nu tritious and of a delicate flavor. As might be expected in the case of a plant of such value, it is often care fully and extensively cultivated in many countries, and numerous vari eties, differing in the size, shape and quality of the fruit, are now known. The coeoanut is propagated by seeds; the nuts arc sown in nursery beds, and at the end of six or eight months the seedlings are large enough to plant. The plants are usually set twenty-five feet apart each way in carefully pre pared beds filled with rich surface soil. Once established, a plantation of co connuts requires little care beyond wa tering, which is necessary in its early years to Insure a rapid and vigorous growth. In good soil the trees usually begin to ilower at the end of five or six years, and may be expected to be in full bearing In from eight to twelve years. Thirty nuts from a tree is con fincers in unison and to imitate me patter of hail and the droning of bees, for these were recognized signs of ap proval. Coming to more recent times the leader of a French claque considered himself very poorly off unless he made considerably over five thousand dollars a year. Indeed, the post of leader was so much sought after that as much as twenty-five thousand dol lars wan cxneied as Dremium before a man was The chief was paid no stated salary. but was allotted a certain number of seats, which he could sell at his own price, and these, together with the presents he received from the actors, amounted to a very substantial sum. The claque was and still is nothing more than a gigantic fraud. Men arc deputed to laugh immoderately at jokes, to applaud speeches, and women are actually employed to sob audibly and become hysterical during affecting scenes.

"He was the best surveyor and draughtsman in my employ," said a well-known civil engineer of this city a few days ago. referring to a man whom he had just discharged. "I dis covered a short time ago that he was permitted to fill a vacancy. keeping a private note book, and after C L:a silnrv ! notifying him that he must stop it, and again learning that he was con tinuing the practice, I was obliged to discharge him." I asked the gentleman to explain what he meant by "keeping a private note book."

Howard, J T. itl AYER'S R VIGOR to the letter. Things came to such a pass some years ago that a play was placed in jeopardy through the machinations of rival claques. Jealous actresses would employ their own claques, and the ri diculous spectacle was presented of an actress being applauded from one part of the house and soundly hissed from the other. Circumstances are considerably modi fied in France now, but we still have our claques here, says an English pa per. They consist chiefly of deadheads, persons who are expected to applaud in exchange for free admission. They appear for the most part the first nights, when the fate of a play is in tbe balance, and are to be seen fran tically clapping their hands when the remainder of the audience is half asleep. At other times foreign actresses freBh to the English stage hire men to applaud them on their first appear ance. The whole business, however, is carried out so inartistically that the presence of a claque is nearly always detected. OAUI ANj , ,iL. Description of an Interesting Trial In an indli.a court. Justice is the end of government, and every nation has its own peculiar method by which this end is achieved. In "Our Future Highway to India an interesting trial is described. There had been a riot and one man had been hurt. The ringleaders in the riot were now put on trial, and a eurions sight it was. The cadi and council were seated round a table. An officer called the "kaimaean" had conducted us to the place where the trial was going on, and the party was accommodated on a divan. The prisoners were brought in under strong guard, the wounded man and the doctor being at the other end of our divan. The whole place was crowded with witnesses and specta tors. A more peculiar trial was never seen, every one gesticulating, shouting and yelling. The prisoners abused kaima ean, cadi, court and everything else, and were abused in turn. The noise went on increasing till it seemed as if the roof was about to fly off. Suddenly there would come a lull and every one, prisoners, guards and all, would commence smoking cigarettes. The ringleader in the riot coolly took a light from one of the members of the court. After a pause, and with their lungs refreshed by the soothing fumes of tobacco, they would all again burst forth In chorus, and the noise would be worse than before. I know not how the clerk to the court managed to keep his notes of the evidence, but perhaps be was accus tomed to such scenes, and managed to case of any other survey being made later on. 'This data, vou see, really consti tutes a sort of capital or stock in trade, for if the party owning the land ever wishes another survey of it for any purpose he will naturally apply to that Barae surveyor, who, having these old memoranda, can do the worn easier and more cheaply than any other sur veyor. Oftentimes, after many years have elapsed and old landmarks have passed away, those minutes become very valuable. Consequently a civil engineer al ways wishes to keep these in his own hands, and men in his employ are not allowed to make copies of minutes of surveys which they make while in his employ. Otherwise, an old employe, in leaving and setting up in Dusiness for himself, could carry away a large slice of his employer's business. This is the reason why 1 have dis charged my best employe upon finding that he was persisting in the practice. WANTED.

So far everything went to convict the cul lustancea of the Treachery nnd Wicked ness of the Kleptiant. According to my observation, the elcDhant is intelligent in a diabolical way at times, but rarely ever up to the mark when its intelligence would be useful. So with its docility. That quality is prominent, no doubt, when the exhibition of it is convenient to the elephant, but one often looks for it in vain when it is needed for the con venience of nny other living creature Then the elephant is a revengeful beast. It is treacherous often, and with few exceptions, an arrant coward llow very uncertain the docility of an elephant may be, and how revenge mav be substituted for that quality was illustrated bv an event that is fresh in my mind, says a writer Ulaekwood's Magazine. A mahout tried to drive his elephant into the cen ter of a newly-excavated tank. The elephant found out with its trunk that a hole of some depth was just before It and would not move. 1 he mahout per sisted, and urged the recalcitrant ele phant with the iron goad, (the gujbag and, after a short conflict, theelephan seized the mahout with its trunk, dragged him off his seat on its neck, and. placing him below its forefeet, trampled the life out of him. This animal had some reason for be ing annoyed by its driver, but there is nothing to be said in extenuation of another elephant that, aproposof noth ing, tossed me with its tusk. I was feeding that brute in the eventide, when the day's work was done and this toiler, with others, had to be tend ed and encouraged. I was feeding it with delicacies dear to the elephantine palate, and, without rhyme or reason, that docile and intelligent creature butted me into the air, no doubt with a benevolent intention of impaling me that was frustrated by my offering no resistance to the tusk and by the blunt ness of that weapon.
