The Mahwa Tree,

This is one OF the Indian fruit trees.
The slngularity of the genus consists IN
the fact, that not only Is the fruit eat
able. but the fieshy deciduous coro.-.-s
are also largely employed by the natives
ing, III point Of fact, a staple, and indeed
sometimes the only article OF diet avail
able for the very poorest classes during
some months Of the year. The tree is
not unlike our oak in form, size, and the
coloring Of the foliage; il grows from
thirty to forty feet high: flowers in the
months of March and April, and is found
in nearly every part of central India.
The flowers ripen towards the end of
February or beginning OF March, the
corollas become tieshy and tinged with
the Juices they secrete. They then grad
ually loosen from the calyx, and, falling
to the ground, are carefully gathered by
the native women and children beng
chiefly employed in this business.
They never strip the trees entirely OF
blossoms; IN good seasons each tree will
produce from two to three hundred
pounds Of flowers; and good many are
allowed to remain to seed themselves.
Fifty pounds of mahwa are said to be
enough for a months food for a family
Of five. II is not generally eaten alone,
however, but mixed with different seeds,
and very often rice is added. When
dried, n,ahwa flowers rather resemble in
ferior figs. When fresh they have u
taste, but by no means agreeable odor.
The fruit succeeds the blossoms. Ii is
about the size of very small apple, and
the kernels contain oil, which IL often
an inferior color an rancid taste, but is
very generally used by the poorest ma
tives for lighting purposes as well as for
cooking; and it is all 0 applied external

A Charming Cure for Jealousy.
From the London Post. J

There Is a custom prevailing among
the inhabitants of the Sandcman Islands,
which may throw light upon the civil
lized use of Wedding cake. When a ma
tive girl whose exceptional beauty has
brought her many suitors is knocked
down with a club and carried off by her
accepted suitor, the welded pair, within
forty-eight hours of the wedding, send a
cup of poison distilled from hula hula
tree to each and everyone OF the brides
former admirers. II any recipient feels
that he cannot become reconciled TO the
marriage, he drinks the poison and dies;
but if he decides that he will survive the
loss of his intended wife, he throws away
the poison, and feels bound in honor

appointment. By this admirable system
the husband is spared the pangs OF ieal-
ousy, and is able to live on friendly
terms with the surviving admirers of his
wife

Brother and Sister.

The remarkable reunions We now and
then hear of, of friends and relatives who
recognize each other after having been
separated for years, are almost sugges-
tive of the recognitions of another life,
But there is pathos enough in such meet
ings even when altered looks disappoint
the eyes of affection. A touching scene
of this sort was witnessed ON the steam
boat dock recently on the arrival OF the
City of Hartford. A man, short in sta
ture and about forty years old, had been
waiting on the dock for length of time
to meet an em:grant sister, who was to
arrive by the boat. When nearly all Of
the passengers had disappeared from the
vessel, he approached the patrolman
on duty there. and told him he guessed
his sister didn't come ON the steamer. A
short investigation, however, discovered
little old German woman carting her
baggage from the vessels deck to the
wharf. Noticing the resemblance be-

Ne Sjohed for Macaroni,

The principle Of nationality in meats

complaint an Italian visitor brought
before one of the London magistrates a

with board and lodging; but the food set
before him was such as he could not

Machinery and Tools.

The American Machinist prints letters
from over 40 establishments engaged in
manufacturing machinery, engine, boil
ers, tools, and mechanics supplies, rep
resenting several states, which tend to
show that 1882 was signally prosperous
year, and that confidence in trade for
the present year is not lacking. Taken
as ~hole, however, prices for machin-
cry and tools are lower than they we're
last January, and the tendency Is toward
closer competition. Iron and other ma
terials that enter into machine construc-
ton are lower than in January, 1882, but
as rule wages of first-class mechanics
have not declined.
