Special Correspondence.
Another attempt has been made to
introduce here the small open carriages
which are so popular in continental
cities, notably Paris, but have have)
succeeded in gaining any popularity
in New York. The new Open cabs are
like those in Paris, and in most par-
ticulars resemble the Paris fiacre, dif-
fering from this~vehicle chiefly in the
matter of color. They have been in-
troduced here not by the private com-
panics, but by one of the railroad cal;
companies, and will not therefore be
available for one Of the uses to whicl;
they’ would ordinarily be most fre
quently put. They are especially
adapted to park driving, and for tha1
purpose would be found more suitable
than the nansoms, which are just now
the most popular vehicles for than
purpose. It remains to be seen it
these litttle equipages, which have
never been popular here in the past
can be made profitable, or whethm
New York is in this respect more like
London than Paris and prefers the
hansOm to the fiacre. The automobile:
" THE ROYAL PALM OF CUBA.
ATree Called Blessed, of Which Every
Part is Useful.
Not only is the climate Of Cuba fav-
orable to the planting of crops when-
ever the farmer chooses to plant them,
and the lands so rich that no fertiliza-
tion is ever required, but nature seems

reared many strange trees and plants
to supply the wants of man without
the necessity of his planting them
himself. First among these are the
palms, some twenty-six varieties of
which adorn the fields of Cuba, giving
shade, food and life. At The head Of
these stands the royal palm. This
majestic tree consists Of a tall,
straigh‘t trunk of fibrous wood, sup-
porting a cluster of permuted leaves,
like a bunch Of plumes on a long stick.
It is a. marvel of beauty and utility,
yet it is one of the most common of
all trees in Cuba.
The palm has been called the
blessed tree, for every part Of it has
its usefulness to mankind. Certain
medicinal qualities are claimed for its
roots, and its trunk is easily split into

the unfortunate Cloots during the old
French revolution. He called himscll
the “orator of mankind.” and to teach
the “brotherhood” he marched a pro-
cession through the streets Of Paris
dressed tO represent all nations, and it
was received by the convention with
great approval. Cloot’s motto was
“pour genre humain,” and he. uttered
this when he voted for the death 01

If the Theosophists read the Bible
they will find the brotherhood doctrine
so clearly established that there la

Resorts Within City Limit...
Municipal consolidation and electric
railroad development have brought
within the limits of the city of New
York and within easy reach of all 01
its inhabitants, at the lowest rates oI
flare, a series of summer resorts such ’
as no other city in the world contains
New York is unique in this that it has
within its own boundaries the advan-
tages of both city and country, of land
and water, of-farm and seaside. The
whole territory has now been knit to
gather by systems of electric and ca
ble railroads that will, indeed, soot
transform the acres of potatoes and
onions into town lots and pretty vll

raw state or cooked as a vegetable, or
made into a preserve with sugar.
One of the peculiarities of the royal
palm is the stem Of its long leaves. It
is a semi-circular stem, which e’m-
braces the trunk of the tree and holds '
the leaf in place until it withers and
drops to the ground. The stem is
called the “yagua.” It resembles a
thin board, often as long as a man is
tall, and the Cuban insurgent, now
struggling for independence, makes. it
serve him a variety of purposes. For
example, while I was in the field it
frequently served me as a plate, by
simply cutting Off a section of it. By
soaking it in water it is rendered plia-
o ble, so that it may be folded almost as
readily as a piece of stifi paper. Thus
softened it is folded at the ends, some-
thing after the fashion of a baker’s
paper hat, and fastened with wooden
pins. In this shape it is called a
“catarro,” and serves the Cuban farm-
er as a water-bucket, or a wash-basin,
or a receptacle for milk, lard, cheese,
eggs, or whenever a receptacle of any
kind may be needed. I have seen a
group of rebels using a “yagua” thus
folde'd as a kettle in which to cook
their breakfast Of beef and yams. The
water kept the fibrous wood from
burning, and I was assured that the
food thus cooked required no salt oth-
er than that which was extracted from
the “yagua” in (the process of cooking.

NOTES FOR DAILY THOUGHT.
Strive daily and hourly to be calm;
to stop yourself forcibly and recall
your mind to a sense of what you are,
Where you are going and whither you
ought to be tending. This is most
painful discipline, but most whole-
someq—Reformed Church Messenger.
He is most-my friend who teaches
me self-reliance; and self-reliance, in
the last analysis, is reliance on those
laws and principles which can Beyer
be severed from us.—Trin-ities and
Sancti-tics.
“There are people who can do all
fine and heroic things but one; keep
from telling their happiness to the un-
happy.”—~A Mark Twain Maxim, in
“Following the Eguator.”
He that hath so many causes Of joy
and so great is very much in love
with sorrow and peevishness who loses
all these pleasures, and chooses to sit
down upon his little handful of thorns.
Enjoy the blessing of this day, as God
Sends them. and the evils of it bear
patiently and sweetly, for this day I
Only ours; we are dead to yesterday,
and we are not yet born to the mor-
row.—Jeremy Taylor. '
A Christian is always “on duty”—
ncver “off duty.” He must always let
the uniform of holiness appear. He is
set apart for the service of his Master
unremittcntly. Into his life there has
entered a something which reminds
him that heunust always be on his
best behavior, and must always be
seeking to live not to himself, but to
Him whosé he is and whom he serves.
His actions are ever a matter of con-
cern to this Lord. and he takes pleasv
use in noting that the life is one of
complete self-surrender, in little things
and in those of greater consequence.
