FRUIT AT THE TABLE.-After the refined and
complicated luxury OF recherche dinner, we
seem To 60 back, when the fruit comes on the
table, to the primitive simplicity OF the earliest
ages. We consume our entrenaets and our fricas-
sees, our soups and our made dishes, and then our
host as If the repertoire of delicacies had been
exhausted, steps out into his garden and his
orchard, and brings Us in simple handful OF
fruit-a bunch of golden grapes, some apples
painted red and yellow by the soft pencil of the
summer sunbeam, dusty velvet peach. or some
honey. .fesbed apricots. BE Is doing what King
AlcinCus may have done to Ulysses and the storm
beaten Greeks. 1t is patriarchal-it smacks OF
the golden age and the old mythologic times; yet
it is custom that does not wither and will ever
grow Questionable. How things alter The
salad, once all that the hermit had to live upon,
has become a relish for the gourmand; cheese,
once the shepherds only food, is now an entrenet
after many courses fruit once the only food OF
the early denizens of the world, is now the mere
crowning pleasure OF dinner.
Fruit requires no human cooking; the great
stationary fre has cooked il to a turn. lt has
been basied with dews the soft, balmy summer
rain has been its sauce. Its favor has been mixed
by the minstering spirits OF garden aud orchard :;

influence over the world but they are earthly
their component parts are known; there is not
the mystery about them that appertains 10 fruit.
Really to enjoy fruit, one should pick ones own
and eat it in appropriate scenery, under the tree
from which it is gathered, or beside the bush
wherein it has grown. The pear reached dowr
from the plant bough, where II has long swung
like golden weight for Mammon's scales, tastei
