New Varieties CT Tomatoes.

A new strain Of tomatoes, originated By
Mr. Livingston, the producer Of the Acme
and the Paragon, two of the best to-
matoes of late years, called the Perfection,
is a combination of the best qualities OF
those varieties. The fruit is very early, OF
medium size. has q smooth, tough skin,
which makes it valuable for shipping pur-
poses, and the pulp is solid and of good
flavor. It's especial merit is that. it ripens
all over and through atthe same time. An
Otner new Seeding tomato. the May1ower,
IS very large and almost free from seeds.

Arabs Portrait.

A Philadelphia artist who saw Arab
in Alexandria last winter, draws this
sketch of his personal appearance: "a
tall heavy-faced man, %sullen, swarthy,
with only a pretty clear eye TO soften
the general harshness of expression,
and a black moustache to hide a not
particularly finely carved mouth. His
legs are as unattractive as his face. The
underpinning looks too frail for the
rest of the body. He is a bulky man,
not pursy or Falstafian in girth, but a
broad, thick chested fellow, bu.l 1t on tie
lobster pattern. Take him from his
heavy head to his spindle legs, Arab
Pasha reminds one more Of a negro
than of the ageeable and pleasant-faced
gentlemen one meets among the Arabs
and Egyptians"
