From the South.
We have invariably believed and
asserted that there never would, or
could be, an production of Flor.

fruit dealers i'll this city, the chief
1rulL market of the continent, agree
in this opinion. The never failing
high prices readily obtained for
choice Florida oranges, even when
Mediterranean fruit is as cheap as
apples or potatoes in our market,
proves the correctness OF the opinion;
and now we are likely to have
another and very notable proof of it
resulting from the apparently perfect
success of the recent experiment OF
shipping Florida oranges to London.

ceive in market some Of the choice
varieties of orange and bananas
while mangoes, sapodillas, star apples,
chirimoyas or custard apples, sour
sops, mammees, pomegranates, bread
fruit, and occasionally guavas and
fresh cocoanuts are included in the
lists of the fruit stalls.
Mangoes from Jamaica are among
the most delicious OF these rare fruits.
They are pear shaped, with thick,
golden, red-cheeked rlnd and orange.
colored pulp. A large pit like a
peach stone takes up half the fruit,
and contains a bitter kernel. The
specimens of this fruit brought TO
market are said by those who have
eaten it in South America and Ja>
maica to be excellent. 1t is necessary
to pick the mango when 1t is ripe, as
those that ripen after they are picked
are devoid of flavor and worthless.
1t is subsequently perishable cargo,
and full 20 per cent. OF those brought
to this market spoil before they reach
the country. The sweet mango is
the species usually seen here.
There is a slightly acid kind some
times sold, which is very pleasant
to the taste. In selecting mangoes,
choose those that are hard and firm;
the thick, leathery rind retains its
shape long after the fruit is soft and
is considered spoiled. Fresh man.
goes are worth from so cents to 81 a
dozen.
The sweet mangoes put up at
Bombay are famous East India
chutney,and apopular accompaniment
OF curries in England. Though SELL
dom used in this country. they may
be bought for $3.50 a bottle. They
should not be confounded with pic
kled muskmelons, which are called
mangoes by New England house
keepers.
The sapodilla is brown fruit, the
size and shape of large plum. 1t is
served for dessert, and is extremely
juicy. The variety brought here
from Jamaica is the nispero OF South
America. 1t has several stones like
date stones, and its taste is of a cloy-
ing sweetness. Ripe sapodillas are
offered in our markets in fair condi>
tion at 40 to so cents dozen. Can.
ned sapodillas from Nassau are 80
cents can.
An enthusiast, speaking OF the
fruit of the Antilles, calls the custard
apple the "spiritualized Strawberry
The rind when ripe is ga grayish
green, and the white pulp re-
sembles IN appearance a firm custard,
and is thickly set with black seeds.
1t is described as happy mixture of
sweetness and acid. The sweetsop
is spoken of by travellers as fruit
having the flavor of pertumed cream,
frosted with sugar" The guanabsna,
Or soursop, is slightly acid, and is
considered by creoles the most de-
llcious of all fruit-an opinion which
few Americans who have eaten it in
Jamaica and elsewhere are ready to
endorse. 1t is popularlY served in
the West Indies soaked in wine.
The only fruit in the United States
of the same family as theschirimoya,
sweetsop and soursop is the pawpaw
of the Mississippi. valley. Custard
apples and soursops are sold in our
markets, but they are the most diff
cult of all fruits to transport, and

tion of persons who have resided in
the tropics are rarely seen. Custard
apples can be bought tor from 10 to
" cents apiece and soursops from 20
to 40 cents. A few lots of chris
moyas have reached this country in
hne order, but were brought in re-
trlgerators. The caimito, or star
apple, is OF the same family as the
sapodilla. II is Iavorite fruit of
Cuba, though It's peculiar taste, or
lack OF taste, rarely pleases any one
who Is not accustomed to it. Its
pink and white flesh, however, is very
pretty. Star apples are 40 to SO
cents a dozen.
The hard red mammee is the va.
riety OF this fruit ofterest brought to
our market. 1t is gray, streaked
with red, and when cut is rich yel>
low and gives forth fragrant, mag
nolialike odor. 1t is used in Cuba as
preserve, and though sometimes eaten
raw, is 100 hard to be easily digesti-
bic. The soft mammee is sweet and
much more wholesome, and is a ia.
vorte dessert fruit. Mammees are
from 10 to Is cents apiece.
The guava, a tiny specimen of
pomegranate, is unfortunately a most
perishable fruit A few specimens
have come iu retrigerat ors, but they
are rarely offered in our markets.
They are small; pear shaped, canary
colored and pink inside, and extreme
ly fragrant and luscious. The jelly
which is so.well known to commerce
is sold in tiny boxes at % cents, and
in larger packages at 81. Canned
guavas are 80 cents can.
The red and yellow banana are not
different species. All bananas are
naturally yellow and are made red
by grating The effect OF the graft
runs out in seven years, when we
have sometimes bananas that are red,
spotted, or streaked with yellow.
There are over forty or fifty varieties
Of this fruit, The little guineos or
fig banana is not unknown to our
fruit stores. 1t is not over a finger
long, and it is one Of the finest spe-
cies. 1t is delightful in odor and
taste, and sells in our market, de-
spite its small size, at 81 a dozen.
The plaintain and banana are of the
same family. The oriental Chris.

the forbidden fruit, and named it the

good till Eve tasted it, but has been
bad ever since. The deep depression
near the stem of the fruit like the
mark OF teeth are supposed to be the
origin of its claim. The Mandarin
oranges are small species of fruit
with a dark.colored perfumed rind
hardly thicker than brown paper.
The Tangerine is variety of mand-
arin 1t is the thinnest-skined species
of orange known. Mandarin and
Tangerine oranges, which in markets
during the winter months, are sold
from IS cents to 81 dozen. The
seedless St. Michael oranges are
brought from the Azores, and thouoh
common in England, are seldom seen
in this country. They are a small.
light colored fruit, with scarcely any
seeds, and are excellent in flavor. In
this city they bring from 60 cents to

Opium.s Victim.

On June "a the Sacramento Bee con-
tanned an editorial describing the horrible
condition to which opium had brought a
certain young man of that city, picturing
his faltering step, his haggard look, his
trembling constitution, and prophesying
that it would not be long before he would
go down into something worse than a
drunkard's grave-the grave of a man
who had worshiped this vile Oriental drug,
who had become its slave, had sacrificed
his physical manhood to it and whatever
he had possessed of responsibility or even
common decency. The other day we read
in the local papers a notice Of his death.
And yet the boys and young men in that
city who are following in his footsteps will
not heed the warning. They knew him in
the flush Of early manhood, q handsome
well-built, muscular fellow. They have
seen, within the last few years, how this
drug Slapped every particle of energy from
his body, how it depressed his cheeks
glazed his eyes. rendered his limbs muscle
less and his veins bloodless, and how at
last it brought him to an untimely and
dishonored end. And yet they cling to
this terrible idol, a god more ruthless,
more cruel, more bloodthirsty than the
murderous Bowanee of the Hindoos. 1t
is folly to affect to disregard the growth
Of this evil. 1t is spreading only too
rapidly, enveloping in its Shiny folds the
youth and Drawn of the land. Protesta-
tons, warnings, examples, seem to have
no effect. Let rigorous punishment be
tried. The ordinances We now have. in.
tended to check tho evil, are frauds. The
most stringent laws on the subject need
to be framed. This habit must be checked,
or 1t will continue to grow upon the young
men. until 1t shall indeed become the mas
ter and the rising generation tho slaves.

STAR ROUTES AND SALVATION.
A Star Route Contractor Speaks n
Piece to His Uncle.

Before one OF Jack Gilmer's relatives in
the East became aware Of his prosperity in
the Star Route business, Jack would re-
ceive an occasional letter %admonishing him
not to neglect his spiritual welfare, and
tn m from the ways OF the ungodly. The
writer in one of these letters incidentally
remarked that he was getting along pretty
well, but had a mortgage Of 5000 on his
farm. No stronger hint than this was ever
thrown out that the sum named would re-
lieve the pressure, Il Jack was left under
the impression that his standing in the
other world concerned his relative most.
Finally the Star Route business came out
and the way Uncle Sam had been fieeced.
Then this cody relative, who had dropped
Jack for a time as a hopeless case, reminded
him Of the comfortable sum he had doubt
less got away with, and Of his ability to
let him have 5000 to raise that mortgage,
without feeling ii, from his ill-gotten gains.
This time the religious dodge was over
looked. Jack was equal to the occasion,
and his laconic reply was "Work harder
and pray less, and you may be able to
raise the mortgage."-Ward Reflex.
The Reflex has got the story exactly
straight, says the San Francisco Daily Re-
pOIt. JdCh WIS Ill NdeulubtUu cuuttNOT~
ing to have one Of his routes expedited,
and the relative called on him at his hotel.
to present him with a copy of the revised
version Of the New Testament. Jack took
the book and read it carefully, sitting up
all night for that purpose. He found that
a number of words that are customary to
apply to a refractory stage team had been
left out, and great was his wrath thereat.
The next day the relative called again. He
asked Mr.. Gilmer if he thought his soul
was safe and if he was preparing himself
for the hereafter. Jack said he was going
it "blind." Mr.. Gilmer occasionally goes
blind. Then the relative limited at the
mortgage, remarking that those who give
to the poor lend to the Lord. Jack
grabbed the new version to see il the quo
tation was correct. he found it all right,
and pulling out his eheck-book and draw
ing his check for 5000, handed it to the
relative, saying: 81 don't lisWhe security
very well, but blood is thicker than water.
Take this money and lift sour condemned

a loan don't creep Ut on me by grieving
about my soul, but make a dead bluff at
me and I'll call you, and il you've got
the biggest hand, why you take the pot;
that's ALL"
