Luscious, but Difficult to Eat Gracefully.

One of the most delicious products of
the tropics is the mango, the eating OF
which, however, is apt at first to en-
barrass and perplex stranger to no
small degree. In shape the mango re-
sembles a pear with the stem at the
wrong end, tlattened, however, like q
bean, and with the small end turned
over to one side, something like the
figures common on cashmere shawls.
One large variety is entirely yellow,
and smaller kind is yellow, with rich
red cheeks, Offering tempting hues for
still-life painter. Inside is very
large seed, which forms a considerable
impeachment to the enjoyment of the in
experienced, for the pulp is joined to
this in q stringy way, and it is difficult
to handle the slippery thing. A thor
oughly ripe mango has kind of COM
bination of muskmelon and baked GUS
tard aspect and texture to its deer
yellow pulp, and its rich flavor is indies
cribable, except that, when eaten for
the first time, it seems to have a slight
trace of turpentine, which resemblance,
however, disappears on acquaintance.
The large yellow variety seemed to me to
have very slight and delicate flavor of
peanut candy. The person who eats
mango for the first time generally covers
himself with confusion and his face with
mango pulp and juice, which is very
sticky and yellow, so that he looks az
if somebody had been feeding him with
soft-boiled eggs in the dark. 1t will
not do to eat a mango as one would an
ordinary fruit the correct way being to
use q mango fork, which has but one
tine, and therefore is really not a fork
at all, but spit. With this the fruit is
impaled at one end and the point
thrust firmly in the seed, which may
thus be stripped of its last pulp without
soiling the fingers. CITY Of Merico

ABrieger has now investigated their-oe-

alteration taking place in the peptone.
This fact could be quite universally es-

stroyed all poisonous substances. Prof.
Brieger next approachedthe task of iso-
lating these easily decomposable and
violently poisonous bodies. He. sue
ceeded, by working on large masses of
dead animal bodies with series of
chemical processes, in preserving the
poison in beautiful, large, needle-shaped
crystals. He has not as yet determined
whether these consist of the poisonous
body pure, or whether they also contain
other bodies. Therefore the chemical
composition of the ptomains has not yet
been certainly determined. Nature. y
