The PitahaYa.

This queerly shaped plant, found in
our Southwestern territory, where,
amid dreary wastes, it rears its tall,
pillar-like stalks, is the very king of the
cactus family. 1t is found especially
in the rocky valleys and slopes of New
Mexico, Arizona, and California 1t
was first mentioned 10y those early
missionaries who, reaching the ella,
described so many strange things that
they lost all credit. But it is, as they
related, useful plant, bearing a nutri-
tious fruit, as the hunters of later day
found.
It's name in various Indian dialects
differs, pitahaya, sahuaro, being the
more widespread. For its first few
years it is globular, and is found under
the shelter of the green-barked acacia.
Then it shoots up, and at the height of
ten or twelve feet blossoms, but its
stalk sometimes rises to five times that
height. 1t has few branches, and few
of these have any blossoms. The oval
or pear-shaped fruit are clustered to-
gether, and, when ripe, fall to the
ground. They are green, reddish above,
and the pulp is crimson, and not unlike
a fresh fig in taste. 1t ripens in July
and August.

A Social Insect.

Corroptio optimi pessima. Even
teetotalism in the wrong place may do
evil There are certain teetotal insects
in Assam who get themselves greatly
disliked. The "tea-mite" has a repre-
hensible habit of making his nest on
the tea leaves, of boring holes in the
skin of the leaf, and then pumping out
the liquor. The tea-mite, as would
perhaps be expected, is "a social insect
His tea-parties are family parties; and
there are sometimes a,good many fami-
lies at tea on an Assam plantation
The result is wholly discouraging to
the Assam planter, who has been
known-strange irony of fate Ito take
to drink owing to the excessive fond
ness of the tea-mite for the leaf which
inebriates not. The "tea-bug" is beast
of the same character; but he is de-
scribed as even more destructive. He
is, however, a tea-drinker of discrimis
mating taste. He likes. his tea weak,
and will not touch the trees which
afford a strong and rasping liquor.
But as there are many valuable trees
which yield a mild juice, suited to the
taste of nervous persons and tea-bugs,
the iudicious insect is not regarded
with respect In the tea plantations of
Assam. st James Gazette.

The LOUuat.

The loquat is fruit about the color
of an apricot, one and q half inches in
length and one inch in diameter. The
seeds are small and the flavor like the
cherry, delicate, sub-acid, and good.
A gentleman near New Orleans, who
has trees twenty feet in height on his
farm, declares that for eating fresh, for
sauce, and for pies the loquat has no
superior. The fruit does not easily
pull from the stem, and, in order to
ship long distance, the stem must be
cut so as to avoid breaking the pulp.
The loquat is grown from seeds with
the greatest ease, also from cuttings
and layers. In form it is globular and
one and one-fourth inches in diameter.
1t begins to ripen in April and contin-
tinues until the first week in July.

Erin's symbol OF the Shamrock.

1t is an old tradition that st. Patrick,
preaching one day on grassy mound,
and explaining the doctrine of the
Trinity, one of the bystanders asked !:
"How could there be three in one ?"
ST. Patrick, STOPPING down, plucked a
Shamrock from the turf, and, pointing
to the three leaves united in one stem.
told them it was an illustration of what
he was endeavoring to explain. From
that day the Shamrock became the en-
blem of Ireland.

Seaweed and Its Uses.

In tropical climates the little air
bladders which support the seawracks
are of great service; for the masses of
seaweed are several hundred feet long
and of considerable height, having
stems the thickness of mans thigh,
and branches and dropping stems which
support innumerable forms of animal
life, such as corals, crabs, worms of
different kinds, together with MOSES
and weeds of the sea, and being besides
a place of deposit for innumerable eggs
of various creatures. In Scotland the
tender parts of the seawracks, known
as tangles, are used as food, and when
cooked are considerd choice diet for
cattle. The stems of very hard,
horny variety of the seawracks are
in short pieces, and while still moist or
green, the blade is forced in at one
end. When the stem dries it clings
firmly to the knife-blade. Being
gnarled and horny it resembles bucks
horn, and when tipped with metal and
fully finished, forms a neat, inexpen-
sive knife-handle.
The rose-tangles are higher up in the
scale of vegetable life, and their deli
cate tints render them very beautiful.
OF these, pulse is an important variety
to the Scotch and Irish, who, besides
using it as food, both in it's raw state
and cooked in milk, find in it substi-
tute for tobacco. Carrageen moss is
another kind of rose-tangle, from which
a nourishing Jelly is made. The Chi
nese use one variety of rose-tangle as q
chief ingredient in other CLOSING
preparations; twenty-seven thousand
pounds are brought annually to Canton
and sold at from 6 to Is pence per

As Ralph Prescott stepped into the hall he

scrubbng- brush above him, and beheld little
thin, ragged figure at the top OF the staircase
busily securing and washing the steps. She
was harefooted, and IL amused him not little,

so hard TO cover them with the poor apology for
a dress which she wore, and which barely fell 70
her knees.
She stopped scrubbing to answer the questions
with which he was plying her. while her color
came and went in childish embarrassment.
Well, my little maid. how do you do?" he
asked, a. an excuse for addressing her. and graf
