FRUITS OF SIAM.

Siam is verify the queen Of the tropics in
regard to the abundance, variety, and un-
equaled lusciousness of her fruits. Here
are found those of China, greatly enriched
in tint and flavor by being transplanted to
this warmer climate; and those of Western
Asia, in this fruitful soil are far more pro-
ductive than in the sterile regions of Persia
and Arabia; while numerous varieties from
the Malayan and Indian Archipelagoes,
united with the host of those indigenous to
the country, complete list of some two
hundred or more species of edible fruits.
In this climate of perennial freshness trees
bear nearly the year round, and so produc-
tive is the soil that the annual produce is
almost incredible. The tax on orchards
alone yields to the Crown revenue of
some five million dollars per anppm, as l
was informed by the late "secOnd king"
of Siam. 1t is not unusual to find on single
branch the bud and blossom, together with
fruit in different stages. Thus, at the
merest tritie of expense table may be sup
piled during the entire year with forty or
fifty specimens of fresh, ripe fruit. Among
these are many varities of oranges and
pineapples, pumeloes, shaddocks, paw
paws, guavas bananas, plantains, durians,
jack-fru melons, grapes, mangoes, coca
nuts, pomegranates, soursaps, linchies,
custard apples, bread-fruit, casew-nuts,
plums, tamarinds, mangosteens, rambus.
tans, and scores of others for which we
have no names in our language. Tropical
fruits are generally juicy, sweet, with a
slight admixture of acid, luscious, and
peculiarly agreeable in a warm climate;
and when partaken of with temperance and
due regard to quality they are highly pro-
motive of health. For this reason Budd-
hists regard the destruction of fruit-tree
as quite an act of sacrilese, and their sacred
books pronounce a heavy malediction on
those who wantonly commit SO great a
crime. One who has tasted the fruits of
the tropics only at a distance from the soil
that produces them can form no conception
of the real flavor of plums and grapes that
never felt the frosty atmosphere of our
northern cline; of oranges plucked ripe
from the fragrant stem and eaten fresh
while the morning dew still glitters on
their gold tinted cheeks; of the rare, rosy
pomegranate juice, luscious as nectar.

Story Of Meshach Browning, the Mary
land NimrOd.

Near the confluence of Sang Run and
the Big Youghiogheny lived until recently
Meshach Browning, celebrated Maryland
hunter, who " escheated " about one thou
sand acres of land in the latter part of his
days, built a grist mill. and left name
revered by large posterity. He was the
son of subaltern English soldier who
escaped from Braddock's S battle, and was
born in Frederick county, Md, in 1771.
He never saw his father, and his mother
married again. His childless aunt took
him to Western Maryland, and he kept his
first remembrances as an inmate of old
Tech Friends cabin, in Buffalo marsh.
He was the legitimate successor of the first
pioneer of the country, and lived down to
the period of our civil war.
Meshach Browning never had more than
six months schooling. After St. Clair's
defeat his uncle fell back with some forty
settlers to Blooming rose, where the future
hunter met his woodland wife. He mar
ried her against the opposition of her faith
er, who turned them both out of doors.
After this he hunted constantly, seldom
wearing his hat on the hunt, and often kill
ing bears, buck deers, and even panthers,
in close grapple, with his hunting knife.
He began to hunt in 1895, and killed his
last game in 1889. In that period he killed
from 1,S00 to 1000 deer, between 300 and
400 bears, so panthers and catamounts, and
>c -,
begot posterity at the time of his death,
of six sons, forty four grandsons, and sew
enteen great grandsons and five daughters,
thirty two granddaughters and eighteen
great -granddarghters-in all 122. At the
time of the second war with England this
simple old mountaineer was beguiled by
rival partisans to abandon following the
army, subject of great remorse to him all
his days. He also fought terrible battle
with the laborers on the National road, at
Selbysport, in the same war; when he un
dertook to muster them as military cap
tains. About 1914 he began to carry pei
tries and venson to Georgetown and Balti-
more, and in 1924 he put up his mill. In
1926 he visited Annapolis, and, although
Marylander all his days, tasted there the
first crabs and oysters he had ever seen,
which he heartily disliked. On this occa-
sion he went aboard steamboat, and,
being caught after the gang plank was cut
loose. jumped twenty five feet.
Browning lived with his first wife forty
wears, and with the second eighteen wears,
He was much enfeebled in late years with
rheumatism, but still bore traces of great
frame, and retained all his kindly nature.
Francis p. Blair, Sr., thought his life as a
hunter fully as notable as Daniel Boone's.

ORIGIN OF THE NERVE FORCE.

In paper by DR.. A. H. Garrod, the fol-
lowing ingenious hypothesis regarding the
production of Nerve Force is advanced.
Admitting that the force in question is
either identical with, or closely allied to,
electricity in its properties, he then asks,
where does it originate? The existence of
special organs for its development in the
torpedo and other creatures which exhibit
external electrial phenomena, and the alb
sence of any such organ in man and the
higher animals, would seem to indicate
that the production of electricity in ami
mails requires some other form of appara-
tus than the nervous ganglia. In answer
to this, the Doctor seeks to show that in
the difference of temperture between the
interior and surface of the living body, a
source of energy is presented which, on
thermo electric principles, is capable of
producing all the force required. The
brain and minor ganglia, he adds, would
then act as offices for the reception and
transmission of currents in the required
directions, being in fact the communica-
tors of the system.
In support of this, the Doctor says
There are several of the most important
phenomena exhibited by the nervous sys-
tenn which are very satisfactorily explained
on the above hypothesis. For instance, in
cold weather the impulse to action is much
more powerfully felt than in summer, when
the air is hot; and therefore, the tempera-
ture of the surface is higher. 1t is well
known that it is impossible to remain for
more than very short time in hot-water
bath of which the temperature Is as high
as, or little higher than, that of the body,
on account of the faintness which is sure
to come on, and this may be reasonably
supposed to be the result of the cessation
of the nerve-current, which is consequent
on the temperature of the surface of the
body becoming the same as that of the
interior. This faintness is Immediately
recovered from by the application of cold
douche. When great muscular exertion
has to be sustained, as in swimming or

WHY A CHILD Loves SUGAR.-The
craving of children for sweets is well
known to be one of most imperious of
their appetites. 1t has reference probably
to that ceaseless activity which especially
characterizes the age Of childhood. 1t
may be that sugar performs in their sys-
TENS the part enacted by fatty substance
in the bodies of adults. AS it undergoes
oxidation-is burnt up, circulating with
the blood-it may be the source of the
power which enables them to keep in mo-
tion from morning to night. Besides this,
it is known that it renders easier and
more perfect the digestion of the albumin
GUS food upon which their growth depends.
In respects to these offices, it is, therefore,
nearly essential to their well being. And
yet how strong, for generations has been
the prejudice against sugar! Under what
difficulties, and in the face of what dis
and protests have our chill
dren obtained the luxury.

AN AGGRAVATED CASE.

HOW MIR. CoBLEIGH LOST HIS sUsPENDERs.
We are particular people. When we
place anything down we want to find it
just there when we look for it. We are
very particular about this. And when we
do not place anything just there, we expect
to find it there just the same. And more
so. MIR. Cobleigh took bath Sunday
morning. On coming from the water re-
freshed and strengthened, he put on his
pants and drew the suspenders over his
bare shoulders, and taking his soiled cloth
ing in his arms, adjourned to the bed
room. Here he deliberately put his under
shirt and fine linen over the suspenders,
and deliberately loosened those articles
while he tucked in the garments. Then he
looked for his suspenders. lie had care
fully placed them on a chair, you know
that chair right at the foot of the bed, and
he looked there for them, as it was per-
fectly reasonable he should. They were
not there, however. Mr.. Cobleigh was
surprised. He stared very hard at the
chair, and tried manfully to keep down
the rising temper. Then he looked in
every corner of the room, and got down on
his knees, and peered under the bed, and
even looked up at the ceiling, and out of
the window. He examined these localities
not because he expected to find the articles
there, but Mr.. Cobleigh wished to show
the world that there was no intention on
his part to be unfair in this matter. He
had left those suspenders on the chair,
and as they were not gifted with legs,
some one had removed them. Mr.. Cob
leigh was so confident of this, that he
deemed it prudent to strike the stand with
his fist, and tell what ought to be done on
the party who took the suspenders. This
he did, and then called his wife. Mr.. Cob
leigh very briefly related the loss, because
he hadn't time to talk much, and then pro-
ceeded to talk about nothing else. Mrs.
Cobleigh carefully searched the chair,
while Mr.. Cobleigh stooo by and grated
his teeth. Then she carefully searched
the room, which SO exasperated him. as he
had already made the search, and had left
the suspenders on the chair, that he tartIy
inquired if she supposed he had hidden the
articles. This led her to explain that she
believed he had left them somewhere else.
"Do you think that ID lie about pair of
suspenders gasped he, as the awful sus-
picion flashed upon him. Mrs. Cobleigh
was not prepared to back up this PROPOSE
ton; perhaps she did not consider it at all,
but she was confident they had been mis-
laid, and said so, while Mr.. Cobleigh,
holding up his garments, danced around in
very furious manner. Finally, COM
promise was made with two strips of wool
en- cloth, with holes at the ends, and the
Cobleighs went to church in no very happy
state of mine. At night. when Mr.. Cob
leigh retired. and drew off his upper ward
robe tor that purpose, a vehement excla-
nation attracted the attention of Mrs.
Cobleigh, who, looking around, beheld a
very sheepish- looking man trying to olsen
gage pair of suspenders from under a
tight fitting undershirt. "Well, l de-
clare" commenced that lady, d."
"Will you just shut up, and go to bed -
savagely demanded Mr. Cobleigh. She
did.-Dan6ury Neus.
