GROWING FRUIT UNDER GLASS.


The Boston Transcript, in an interesting
article on the subject of Horticulture, in a
description of the garden, greenhouse, and
varities Of fruit of Mr.. Allen, Of Salem, whose
successful devotion to horticultural pursuits
10 we'll known, says: s7s ..r.. ..I
q ASir. Allen has a fig tree that is curiosi.

houses, and is trained in tho same way az
the peach, the branches stretching righ, and
left from the trunk some thirty OF forty feet
and is very vigorous. The variety is the
the black fig Of St. Michael 1t is now in
fruit with the third crop for the season. Up.
wards Of 1900 figs, by count have been gath.
cred the present season, and it is still Weld.
ing its delicious fruit in abundance. When
fully ripe this fig bursts with its own richness
The fruit is fine, and good variety for for.
cling. There are several other varieties Of
figs growing in the houses, but none so proli.
fic as the St. Michael.
"The growing Of fruit under glass is quite
extensive in Massachusetts, and vast a.
mount Of wealth is invested in this delightful
branch Of industry. There is probably more
fruit grown in this way in Massachusetts than
in all the other States of the Union, and there
is ready demand for all that is grown. Our
cultivators frequently have orders from the
South and the West Indies for grapes, which
command high price. No grower has been
more successful than Mr.. Allen, and his esta-
blishment is such at the present time as to
yield him handsome return for his labors !"

that steel dipped into the juice of the netlle

made the medicinal properties of our wild
plants his peculiar study, states that lint dip

has been known to stay the bleeding of the

"A State corvette, Just returned from a
cruise in the Indian seas, brings news of a
rsther curious incident. AT one of the
islands dozel. monkeys were caught and
brought on board Their gsmbols were
nightly relished by the crew. One night,
however, when the ship was out at sea,
some of the monkeys managed to get into
the commandsnt's cabin, scattering ink
over official charts and papers, and perpe
tIaIing other mischiefs, so that he ordered
them all to be flung into the sea. The
sailors, however, were much grieved at this,
and, on their remonstrance, the commsn-
dant gave permission that raft should be
constructed or which the poor animals
might be left with some chance Of being
drified ashore. The sailors fitted the raft
with a small mast and a sail, which they
set essterly in the direction of the land
They placed on the frail skiff a store Of
biscuit and water, and then were obliged 70
abandon the twelve proscriPts to their fate.
