The Beatiflc Vision.

How should we rejoice in the prospect,
the certainty rather, of spending blissful
eternity with those whom we love on earth
of seeing them emerge from the ruins Of
the tomb, and the deeper ruins of the fall,
not only uninjured, but refined and per
fected, with every tear wiped from the
eyes, standing before the throne of God and
the Lamb, in white robes, and palms In
their hands, crying with a loud voice, sal.
vstion to God, that sitteth upon the throne,
and to the Lamb, for ever and ever1 What
delight will it afford to renew the sweet
counsel we have taken together, to recount
the tolls of combat and the labor of the
way, aud to approach, not the house, but
the throne of God, in company, in order to
Join the symphony Of heavenly voices, and
lose ourselves amidst the splendors and
fruition Of the bestific vision Robert Hail.

NOTWITHSTANDING the heavy protection
given. TO manufacturing interests in this
country for the past forty years, the entire
business prosperity of the nation, and the
only source of national profit in its ex-
changes with other countries, is in our sg-
ricultural products. With all our inventive
genius, fostered as it is by monopolistic
patent laws, and sustained by abundant
capital, the expectation Of manufactured
products from the country is very small,
and large proportion of that small exporta-
ton consists Of such simple and unpro-
tected manufacture as -four, employing a
very small amount of labor upon q great
agricultural product Protection has not
yet justified itself in America as it would
have done'had IL 80 developed our home in
dustries as 70 enable them TO meet other
nations successfully in the markets of the
world. Yet this is what the protectionists
have promised. II petting won't do the
business, perhaps it might be wise to try
roughing it. What is good for the individ-
ual may be good for the nation.

A Tree that Yields Food, Wine
'and Oil.

Mr.. E. Lockwood, who was tor
several years magistrate in Mong-
hyr, India, has described in the Jour>
nal Of the Linn@an Society the ecos
nomic uses OF the mahwa tree, which
he speaks of as "a fountain yielding
food, wine and oil" to the inhabitants
of the country where it grows. This
tree (the BGSSiG L0tJolS0 of bota-
nists] grows in the plains and forests
of Bengal, and attains a height of
forty to fifty feet, with numerous
spreading branches, forming a close,
shady, rounded crown. Standing on
the Kharakpoor hills, $50 miles
northwest of Calcutta, a hundred
thousand of the trees are visible in
the plains below. They might be
mistaken for the mango, but while
the mango is uncertain in its yield,
the crop of the mahwa never fails.
The part eaten is the flowers, which
are sweet.tasting and succulent, and
fall in great profusion in March and
April. The natives collect these,
dry them, and store them as staple
articles of food. Each tree Yields
two or three hundred weight of the
corrollas; so that the total Weld in
the Monghyr district alone, it is esti-
mated, cannot fall short of 100 900
tons. The nourishment is good, for
the Santhals, who use it largely, are
plump and happy. The mahwa had
it's share in alleviating the Indian
famine, and during the scarcity which
prevailed at Behar (l873--4) the crop,
which was unusually abundant, kept
thousands of poor people from star.
vation. The flowers are still more
useful for feeding Cattle and again
the same recommends ion may be
advanced, that while .he potato,
maize and barley are uncertain in
their crop, there has never been a
season when these edible corrollas
have been known to fail. Their keep.
ing powers are excellent; ton, dried
and put into sacks, was exported,
and, examined after two years. time,
was found to be undamaged. The
tree furnishes hard and strong tim.

to suit the taste; early in the season
before the fruit becomes thoroughly
ripe more sugar will be required
than later In the season. The fruit
should be eaten as sauce with the
meal, and it is surprising how fond of
the orange served in this way people
soon become. 1t is a good appetizer
and one of the most healthy fruits
grown. 1t should be found on the
table once day for the entire orange
season, which in this country lasts
about six months.
This advice may be against the best
interests of the physicians, but it is
sound for the people at large. The
more money spent for oranges to be
eaten with the lunch or with the light
evening meal, the less will have to
be paid for doctor bills, and the pro,
cess ls much more pleasant to the
consumer.
People in poor health will also
lind lemons very beneficial, so will
healthy people Tor that matter. Take
the juice OF one or two lemons in the
morning, before breakfast thicken it
with granulated sugar and eat it;
repeat lhe dose, which is pleasant
one, every morning and good results
will follow.
Eat more fruit and take less medi>
cine, and better health aud longer
life will be the result.

it flourishes in the islands of Java
and Ceylon, and from personal know.
ledge can testify that the Mangos-
teen fourishes in perfection in Ban
kok, Siam and at many points on
the east and west coast of the Gnlf
of Siam that I have visited.
At Bankok the trunk is often from
six to ten inches in diameter, and
from twenty-five to thirty-five feet
in height, with full rounded top; not
at all "like fir" as Chambers in his
Cyclopedia states.
There is another fruit quite as
limited in its range of culture, but
utterly unlike the Mangosteen 10 ap>

Durion. In Bankok the nobility
prize this ABOVE all tropical fruits.

sell for two Ticals ($l.2O) for a single

FOTdSO dltU OOuOI MdtUCISs
Editor of the Florida Agricultursst.
As you are speaking through you
paper to the farmers and fruit grow
ers, / have taken the liberty to in
close "a short article on "a New Grair
for the South" which we take from
the Southern Lstnabernadn:
"The Rev. III. HI. Pratt, of South
Carolina, who was for some time &
missionary in South America, has
presented to the public new cereal
which he calls Millionaire. 1t is

ties, and forms the common food Of
the working classes there, and is also
used for working animals. Mr.. Pratt
has been successfully growing it in
South Carolina for several years.
The cakes made of it, ground into
meal, are preferred to corn-meal
bread. The Savannah Guano Com.
pany's chemist pronounces it superior
in food qualities to wheat. Experi-
ments show that from so to 100 bush.
els oe clean seed per acre can be
raised. Mr.. Pratt describes the plant
as follows: The plant is allied to
the sorghum and Guinea corn families,
and should not be planted where there
is any danger of mixing them. The
grain is smaller and more mealy than
the Guinea corn, the heads are larger
and more compact, and the color is
milk white instead Of red. 1t differs
from the sorghum in this: that the
sugar it contains is fully converted
into corn when the grain natures
so that the pith of the green stalks
becomes as dry and tasteIess as that
of Indian corn when the stalk is dead.

1t was this unlimited capacity to
stand drouth which induced me to
bring the SEED home, In the belief
that it would be OF lncalculable SER
vice to our Southern States, when
our crops so often fail from drouth.'"
From this article it would seem to
me of importance to those just start
ing and in need of forage for their
work animals. Under the present
system, all hay and grain has to be
brought from the North to supply |
the great demand. Anything In the
shape OF forage that can be raised !
upon the sandy soil OF Florida, would
meet with favor al once.
