a Delicious Apple.

Americans who have spent any time
in Brazil or Peru can hardly fail to re-
member the chirimoya or cherimoyer-
the Peruvians have proverb, that hap
piness and the chirimoya once enjoyed
can never be forgot eu-declared by
many to be the most delicious fruit in
the world. Its botanic name is oyao7,o
cher5naoliG, and it is of the same genus as
the custard-apple, common to the West
Indies and other tropical countries, some
of its varieties belonging to America,
The chirimoya is the queen of the GUS
tard-apples, and everybody who has eaten
it is forever chanting its praises as ex-
ceiling in delicacy, richness and favor
any known produat of the SOIL Both
flowers and fruit emit pleasant odor.
though rather too heavy and penetrat-
ing, for when the tree is covered with
blossoms their exhalation is well-nigh
oppressive. The fruit varies from the
size OF an orange to Is pounds or upward
in weight; is roundish or heart-shaped.
tinged with green, externally, and COW
cred with little knobs and scales, the
skin being rather thick and tough. It is
white as snow, internally, very Juicy,
and contains number Of small, brown
seeds. The edible part is soft, like GUS
tard, and forms nearly the whole of the
fruit. Its excellence varies with soil and
situation, some kinds being SO inferior
to others as not to taste like the same
thing. 1t has been transplanted and
even naturalizes in some parts of the
East Indies, and many persons feel con-
fident that it would grow here; that
Florida, southern Texas and southern
California would be particularly favora-
bic to it. The chirimoya is so delicious
that it is strange that no effort has has
been made to cultivate it even in our
lighthouses No American who has not
visited the tropical or semi-tropical
regions has seen it, and the experiment
of rearing it in the open air, as has been
proposed, is well worth a trial.-N Y.

Spirit Photographs Explained.

The spirit photograph business is now
at discount in Rochester, n. Y. At a
gallery conducted by long-haired
priestess, photographs have been taken
of sitters, and on each negative has ap.
geared a spirit outline. In the first
photograph the spirit was that of a
young lady on balcony with her hand
to her face, her hair and costume being
the fashion of thirty years ago. The
other photograph showed the spirit of a
woman dressed in costume of about the
same period, her hair in ringlets braided
on the top near the temple with strings
of pearls. In her hand was a rose. The
pictures of the ladies themselves were
clear and sharply defined, while those of
the intruders were hazy, but with the
outlines clearly defined. When the
pictures were finished the ladies took
home, and on examining them closely,
concluded that they had seen
the spirit part once before, and
in turning over the leaves of some
magazines ran across the engravings of
the originals. The first one was taken
from an engraving representing "Nour-
mahal," and the second was from an
engraving Of "The Last Rose of Sum-
mer."

How to Keen Cool.

Correct habits of body and mind will
antagonize and generally overcome
the most persistent efforts of the sun.
To begin, avoid heating food; most peo-
pie allow the palate to determine what
they shall eat and how much, which is
as foolish as to allow the family fire to
select such fuel as best pleases it-gun-
powder, nitro-glyceriue, etc. Do not
increase your physical temperature,
particularly that of your head, by drink
ing alcoholic beverages; when water does
not suffice as drink consult physician
instead of barkeeper. Use water ex-
ternally with frequency; no one can get
rid Of superfuous heat through a skin the
pores of which are tightly sealed. If
you have great many cigars that ought
to be smoked before they get dry and
tasteless, give them to your enemy; it is
better that his liver should be deranged
than yours, for torpid liver induces q
weak, hot head. At least once a day
take exercise enough to cause free pres
piration; the man who perspires the
most is always the coolest; the soldier
on drill IN wooden clothing under a hot
sun, with the thermometer in the nine
ties, is more comfortable than the loun-
ger in white linen and sun umbrella who
looks at him. If you have first rate
thing to get angry about lay it care
fully away until cold weather. Do not
worry; it is frightfully heating as well
as physically extravagant. Sleep reg
ularly and full hours, resisting the temp
tation to sit up late because the even
ing is the only cool part of the day. A
hundred other suggestions might be of
tered, but the above, if followed, will
enable m any a heart stricken mortal to
imagine that this is not to imagine that
this is not so dreadfully hot a summer
after all.-PhiIGdelphia Press.

Yellow Fever Last Year.

The first case of the fever in Memphis
was discovered last year on August 18th,
and within "a hours 1,200 people had
left the city. Within the next 81 DAYS
l, 200 people died from the disease, out
of remaining population of 10000
of loss which is scarcely ever
equaled in even great battles. Memphis
was not the first city attacked last year,
however. On July II, 1878, the first
cases appeared in New Orleans, but they
were few in number. At the end of the
month the whole number of cases had
been only $50, and the deaths 40 But
the increase was rapid, and about the end
OF July the authorities of Vicksburg and

ABOUT fifteen years ago a Welsh
colony was founded at Patagonia, near
the mouth of the river Chupat, which
stream empties into the Atlantic ocean
about Al degrees south latitude. A con-
tract was made by the colonists with
the Argentine Republic for the land
Whenever the population reaches twenty
five thousand the colony is to take its
place in the galaxy of states forming the
Argentine Republic. The founders of
the colony entertain the visionary idea,
however, of converting it some time or
other into new and independent Welsh
principality, governed by men of their
own race and laws written in their own
tongue. For that purpose the Welsh
language is spoken only in the colony
Since the establishment of the colony it
has dragged along somewhat uncertain
existence. But this has been due more
particularly to the inexperience of the
colonists than to the barrenness of the
country's resources. According to the
report of the colonists, Patagonia re-
sembles California in many respects,
in the character of the seasons.

An Arctic Reminiscence

The arctic exporting expedition which
left San Francisco recently in the steam
er Jeanette for Behring's strait recalls
another expedition of the same kind,
sent out by the English government
about twenty-five years ago, which met
with a singular fate. The vessel which
contained the exploring party was
named the Investigator, and attempted
to make the northwest passage by sail
ing to the east. She got safely through
Behring's staff, but became locked in the
ice in the Bay of Mercy, and remained
helplessly there for two years. At the
end of this time the Resolute, vessel
sent out by the British government to
search for. traces of Sir John Franklin,
arrived from the east in Wellington in
let, and by sending a party across the
ice for about two hundred miles to the
west, communicated with the crew of
the Investigator and brought them on
sledges to the Resolute. The Investiga-
tor was abandoned and never heard
from again, but her crew accomplished
the northwest passage by passing over
the ice in sledges, not in their ship, as
was intended. On arriving at the
Resolute, she was found firmly fixed
in the ice, and the party were obliged to
abandon her also and find their way
south on sledges. The Resolute was
abandoned in Wellington inlet on May
Is, 1854, and was not again heard of till
September, 1855, when, after having
drifted about for sixteen months, she was
picked up near Cape Mercy, over thou
sand miles from the place where she had
been abandoned, and still EMBEDDED in
ice, by Capt. Buddington, of the Ameri-
can whaler George Henry, who towed
her into New London as a prize. Con.
gress, having heard of the circumstances
appropriated forty thousand dollars to
purchase the vessel of the salvors. She
was then fully repaired and equipped at
United States navy-yard and sent back
to England as an "act of high interna-
tional courtesy" After a very stormy
passage, the Resolute reached English
shores under the command of Lieut.. II
J. Hartstene, United States navy, and
cast anchor at Spithead on on the 18th
of December. The enthusiasm at the
event was unbounded throughout Eng.
land. Lieut.. Hartstene dined with the
prime minister, Lord Palmerston, at his
country home, and staid at Osborne as
the guest of the queen, while the other
officers and the crew received every
attention which national qualification
could suggest.

One or the Other.

About 10 o'clock yesterday morning a
stranger purchased some fishing tackle
at the ferry dock, and took his seat I'm.
der a shed to fish. People who were
watching him saw that he paid fully as
much attention to flask ofwhisky as to
his tsh line, and it was remarked that
every time after he took a drink he
appeared to have several bites at a
hook. After he had been fishing for an
hour, he was seen hauling up about
every ten seconds, and an idler saun-
tered over and observed:
" Beginning TO bite, eh?"

Crackerblanca.

The boy stood on the backyard fence
whence all but him had fed, the flames
that lit his father barn shone just above
the shed. One bunch of crackers in bis
hand, Two Others in his hat, with piteou5
accents loud he cried, =" l never thought
of that!" A bunch of crackers to the
tail of one small dog he'd tied the dog
in anguish sought the barn and mid ITS
ruins died. The sparks few wide and
red and hot, they lit upon that brat;
they fred the crackers in his hand and
exc those in his hat. Then came burst
of rafting sound-the boy! Where was
he gone? Ask of the winds that tar

Memphis quarantined their cities against
New Orleans. But they were too late.
On July 18th the tug John Porter lett
New Orleans and carried the infection
up the Mississippi and the Ohio. Still,
very little attention was given to the
matter by the country at large; bu on
the 10th of August the appalling dis
tress at Grenada, Miss, was reported in
every state Of the Union. The first case
appeared in Vicksburg on the 18th of
August, and two days later, as has been
said, in Memphis. These two cities,
with New Orleans, were the centers of
of the fever. Vicksburg's worst week
was the first in September, when Isl
deaths were reported. The first week IN
September was also the worst for New
Orleans, but in Memphis the height OF
mortality was reached i'll the second
week of September. After this there
was general but fuctuating decline liz
the number of cases, and the last week
of October saw the virtual end Of the cpl
demic.

Gen. Miles and the Indians.

A Fort Scott special says an engagement
took place near the mouth of Beaver creek,
ON the 18th inst, between two companies of
troops and Lieut.. Clark's Indian scouts of
Miles command, and three hundred hostile
Sioux. The troops lost four Indian scouts
killed, and two soldiers wounded, when
Miles main column, which was II miles
behind, came up. The Indians were pur-
sued distance of Is miles, but made their
escape to Sitting BULBS camp. 1t is very

Bad Weather In Great Rr,ta,n

The weather of late has been extremely
boisterous throughout Great Britain, and
the crops are seriously damaged in conse-
quence. A storm on the goth and 2lst inst.
was unusually severe, rain falling in torrents
throughout the midland counties. Fruit
trees and grain crops were badly handled
and cut hay was floating about the fields.
At Belfast the streets were deeply flooded,
and the low lying districts in Down and
Antrim counties were under water, causing
much destruction of property.
In Yorkshire and Derbyshire the crops
have ruined by the storm, and the agricul.
outlook is everywhere very serious
