Fashionable Malaria.

1t is wonderful how malaria is on the
increase in our climate. 1t has positive
ly become q fashionable ailment. If
young lady sits out under the trees till
midnight with nothing on her head, or
dances till daylight after a days shop
ping or dressmaking, she is sure to have
an attack of malaria. If a man spends
two-thirds of night in dissipating with
boon companions. he is sure to have
bad attack of malaria next. If man
interviews the bar dozen times in the
day, AID has seance with champagne
or brandy punch in the evening, he
complains of malaria for week, and
feels it in all his bones. The woman
who shuts herself into close rooms, eats
rich food, gets excited over her cook and
dressmaker, goes out half dressed to a
party in the evening, to come home ut
terly Frustrated by strain which would
use up a day laborer, is sure that ma
laria is killing her, and insists that she
must move or break up housekeeping
altogether. A dozen ladies' who meet at
the sewing circle, dissect the characters
in the neighborhood, stuff themselves
with green tea and the scandals each
has carefully preserved for month to
have fresh for the occasion, are quite
sick of the terrible sewer-gas or the fatal
miasma of that particular locality the
next day. A child is badly fed and only
half clothed, and kept out of the air like
a wax image until he becomes too feeble
to stand n strong Whit of air, and then
1lalaria taxes him off. Malaria, in fact,

THE 'LAssEs STEW.

OIL yessy gave q candy pull,
And Lii and Kitty came 10 share;
Three bonnie skirts with RULED skirts,
And flying curls OF yellow hair.
They did not know, they could not know.
That candy sticks like gum or gluer
And to relate their touching fate
Is why sing the 'lasses stew.
Here we are met" said Jessy Bell,
Three busy maids without their mothers,
With naught 10 do but watch our stew,
Away from boys and other brothers,"
So, with many a solemn taste
And trying" In cup Of water,
The bubhling mass cooked crisp as glass,
And six small hands were creased with butter
minute more, and how they screamed,
With fingers burned and none TO bind 'em;
They few about, indoors and out
And left a sticky trail behind 'em.
But well they worked to cool IL down,
And pulled IL TO its utmost tether
Till-who can tell how IL befell2-
They found themselves all stuck together.
Their curls and skirts and bows entwining-
Each little face supremacy sillyl-
To free poor jess she must undress,
And Kitty who can part from Lilly?

Heart Disease.

When an individual is reported to
have died of disease of the heart, we
are in the habit of regarding it as an
inevitable event, as something which
could not have been foreseen or pre-
vented, and it is too much the habit,
when persons suddenly fail down dead,
TO report the heart as the cause. This
silences all inquiry and investigation
and saves the trouble and Inconvenience
of post-mortem. A truer report would
nave tendency to save many lives. 1t
is though a report of disease of the
heart that many an opium eater is let
off into the grave, which covers at once
his folly and his crime the brandy
drinker, too, quietly slides around the
corner thus, and is heard of no more
In short, this report of disease of the
heart Is the mantle of charity which the
polite Coroner and sympathetic physi-
clan throw around the graves of gener-
GUS people. At a scientific congress at
Strasbourg 1t was reported that of sixty
six persons who had suddenly died, an
immediate and faithful post-mortem
showed that only two persons had any
heart affection whatever-one sudden
death only in thirty three from diseases
of the heart. Nine out of sixty die of
apoplexy-one out of every seven
while forty-six-more than two out of
threaded of lung affection, half of
them congestion of the lungs, that is,
the lungs were so full of blood they
could not work ); there was not room
enough for air to get in to support life.
1t is, then, of considerable practical in
terest to know some of the common every
day causes of this congestion of the lungs,
disease which, the figures above being
true, kills three times as many persons
at short warning as apoplexy and heart
disease together. Cold feet, tight
shoes, light clothing, costive bowels,
sitting still until chilled through after
having been warmed up by labor or a
long, hasty walk going too suddenly
from close, heated room, as lounger
or listener or speaker, while the body is
weakened by continual application or
abstinence, or heated by long address;
these are the frightful causes of sudden
death in The form of congestion of the
lungs but which, being falsely report
cd as disease of the heart, and regarded
as an inevitable event, throw people off
their guard instead of pointing them to
their true causes, all of which are cur
able; and We y easily so, as a general
rule, when the mind has once been in
diligently drawn to the subject. -Halps

Mangoes from Jamaica are among the
most delicious of these rare fruits. They
are pearshaped, with thick, golden, red
checked rind and an orange colored pulp.
large pit like peach stone takes up
half the fruit, and contains bitter kerr
mel. The specimens of this fruit are said,
by those who have eaten it in South Amer
lea and Jamaica, to be excellent. 1t is
necessary to pick the mango when it is
ripe, as those that ripen after they are
picked are devoid of flavor and worth
less. 1t is consequently perishable car
go, and full twenty per cent. OF those
brought to this country spoil before they
reach the country. The sweet mango is
the species usually seen here. There is
slightly acid kind sometimes sold,
which is very pleasant to the taste.
Fresh mangoes are worth from fifty cents
to one dollar dozen.
The sweet mangoes put up at Bombay
are famous East Indiana chutney, and
q popular accompaniment of curries In
England. Though seldom used in this
country, they may be bought for 81. 80 q
with picked musk melons, which are
called mangoes by New England house
keepers.
The red and yellow banana are not diff
ferent 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 guinoes,
or fig banana, is not unknown to our fruit
stores. 1t is not over finger long, and
it is one of the finest species. The plain
tain and banana are of the same family.
The oriental Christians searching for the
Garden of Eden believed that the banana
was the forbidden fruit, and named it the
stree of Paradise" though the 'forbid-
den fruit" sold in Paris fruit stalls and In
our own market is a species OF orange,
the crap shaddock. 1t is of no special
value, is acid, and is kept more for dis
play than for anything else. The leg
end says, it was good till Eve tasted
it, but it has been bad since. The deep
depressions 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-colered per-
fumed rind hardly thicker than brown
paper. The tangerine is variety of
mandarin. 1t is the thinnest-skinned
species of orange known. Mandarin and
tangerine oranges, which are in market
during the winter months, are sold from
seventy-five cents to one dollar dozen.
The seedless ST. Michael oranges are
brought from the Azores, and though
common in England, are seldom seen IN
this country. They are small, light
collered fruit, with scarcely any seeds,
and are excellent in flavor. In this city
they bring from sixty to seventy-five
cents dozen.
Fresh cocoanuts, or the immature CO.
coanuts, picked when they are half ripe,
are the favorite food and beverage of the
tropics. The stem and green cup at the
base dropping off is the external indica-
ton that they have sourced. -Erchdnge.
