The new fruit which Mr.. Hollister the
botanist, has introduced from Japan to
San Francisco, has as many varieties az
the apple in western Europe, all of them
retaining more or less of the sweetness
peculiar to the species 1t is known as
the japanese Pishamin, and, according
to Mr.. Hollister, it is the most beautiful
OF all the fruit he has ever seen, and the
most delicious to the taste. Four of
those which rjpened in California weighed
three-quarters of a pound each, were of
rich yellow color, and looked like balls of
wax.

GEN. LIE Due, the commissioner of
agriculture, is experimenting on new
root called chufa. 1t grows in hills like
the potato, is about the size of walnut
and has the flavor of an almond. 1t is
no trouble to raise, and the experiments
made demonstrate that hogs and chick
ems fed on it are of the most superior
quality, not only in their size, but in
the luscious sweetness of their flesh. 1t
is predicted that chufa will BECOME a
staple crop among farmers in few years.

"A REMARKABLE Wilt case has Just
been decided in Gle veland, o. In 1877
Nancy Hatch made will, properly
signed and sealed, leaving her property
to certain persons named in the instru-
ment. Last August she became insane
and tore up the will, shortly after which
she died. The legatees then appeared in
court with witnesses, who testified in de-
tail as to the provisions of the will, and
asked to have it revived and probated,
claiming that it was really her last will,
and that after becoming insane she had
not the power to revoke it. The Judge
has now sustained this claim, and the
will has accordingly been revived and
probated.

Firm Butter without Ice.

In families, or where the dairy is
small, a good plan to have butter
cool and firm without ice, is by the
process OF evaporation, as practiced
in India and other warm countries.
A cheap plan is to get a large size
porous earthen fower-pot with an ex-
ira large!saucer. Half fill the saucer
with water, set in it trivet or light
stand-such as is used for holding
hot irons will do,-up0n this set your
butter; over the whole invert the
fiower-pot, letting the top rim OF it
rest i'm and be covered by the water !;
then close the hole In the bottom OF
the flower-pot with a cork; then dash
water over the fiower-pot and repeat
the process several times day, or
whenever it looks dry. II set in a
cool place, or where the wind can
blow on it, it will rapidly evaporate
the water from the pot, and the but
ter will be as firm and cool as IL
from an ice-house.

The Difference.

There is one feature OF marked
difference between Republican and
Democrat legislation upon matters
affecting the welfare OF society and
the progress of the true spirit OF re-
form and elevation. AS a rule, Re-
publicans have aimed to give the
people, not only the best protection
against the scourges Contemporaries,
but also been the most ready to fos-
ter and advance the movement of
reform, education and progress.
And as rule the Democrats do not
want to do so; but, with incentives
quite in keeping with a devotion to
other schemes than education and
reform, their leaders pander more
readily to the baser instincts of the
masses upon whom they rely for
support, and have little desire to
take advance steps In matters Of
Improvement, and i'm no respect is
their popularity more manifest than
In relation to the cause of temper
ance. The Democrats, as a party,
