THE BRAZILIAN CAJU.
A Delicious Tropical Fruit with Peculiar
characteristics.
rr.- VI.


81 have often wondered" remarked a
gentleman who recently returned from
Brazil, "why importers OF tropical fruit
never made an effort to introduce the
delightfully."- cool and refreshing caju OF
Brazil in this city. The caiu grows wild
and is cultivated in that country. The
caju tree hardly rises to the dignity of a
tree. but its branches are wide-spreading
and its leaves larger than those of the
rubber tree, Of a brilliant green color and
oval shape. and shine as if they were
vanished. The bloom is on the eXtFem-
tiles Of the branches, and is a small,
pale yellow flower, growing in clusters.
''One variety OF the garden caju, when
ripe, is as large as a Bartlett pear and
shaped something like it. Some varieties
are bright yellow, some deep red. and
others yellow, with pink colored cheeks.
The flesh, or pulp, Of the caju is more
tempting in appearance than that of any
fruit ever saw, but it is never eaten. 1t
is for the juice alone that the caju is
priced. In this il is much more prolific
than the juiciest orange. 1t is the custom
OF the BraZillans to suck a caju before
breakfast, but at any hour Of the day the
Juice Is delightful. 1t is sweet and deli
cious, slightly astringent. and a wonder
full allayer of thirst. The juice of one eaju
is more grateful to thirsty person than
a EDDlEt VI tue puAEob " aA@Gs
''The wild caiu, which grows profusely
in the forests, is small and acrid, and is
gathered by the natives for wine making.
The wine made from it resembles in taste
an ordinary claret sweetened with
sugar, and is a popular beverage among
the poorer people. A popularity of the
caju is its seed, which grows on the out
side of the fruit, and hangs from its larger
extremity. The seed is in size and APP
pearance like large kidney bean. The
kernel is surrounded by a pulpy covering,
which secretes a powerful fluid acid.
Wherever this touches the flesh painful
blister will form at once, similar to that
made by dropping burning particles of a
parlor match on the hand. By roasting
the kernels, however, this troublesome
property of the seed is destroyed. The
roasted kernels of caju seeds are as popu-
lar in some parts of Brazil as peanuts are
here, and taste very much like them. In
roasting the kernels great care is eXer-
cised in preventing the smoke that rises
from them from touching any part of the
flesh, for wherever it touches a most
Irritating Inflammation is the immediate
result. If the smoke enters the eyes it
will destroy the sight.
''The caju has almost as many varieties
as the American pear, and it would
certainly become a popular fruit if intro
duced here,D

The Result of an Indian squaw's PRAYER.
s.. Nary's tNd.l Enterprise.

y
Mrs. Maria E. Holmes, Of our town,
sold to Mr.. John F. Ching, Of the Fourth
district, on Tuesday last a tract of land
part of the original tract known as
Mills Point, on the WiconaicO river, which
has been in the Mills family since the
earliest settlement in Maryland. Some
generations back, it is said, some of the
male possessors of this original track
killed an Indian wonaan's son. HhereupOn
she prayed heaven to deny to the posses
sors and their descendants the happiness
Of a male heir for many generations.
Whether there Is any truth in this state
ment or not, it is very certain that this
property has always been owned by and
transmitted through the female branch,
and that no male issue has ever lived to
attain the age Of twenty-one until the
present generation; and Of the present il
is true that of nineteen children, six 81
whom were boys. but one lived to attain
the age Of twenty-one. Mrs. Holmes, who
WAS Miss Maddox, and whose mother was
q Miss Neaie, is a direct descendant oil
/ this family. The entire property has
J passed into other hands.

N Morocco, when a thief is caught IA the
most trivial ofIense, they politely request him
to bold up both hands. Then they ask him

choice they cut on the other. When a thief
has lost both hands and also his feet, he loses
his head and stons stealing.

As he sang he seemed to grow in sta.
ture and his eyes began to roll in sort OF
wild frenzy. There was ferocity in every
word, bOldness and defiance in every ges.
ture.
Keeping time to his song the tam-tams
and fiddle gave a weird and savagely
mOnotonOus accompaniment that it was
easy to believe was not unlike the savage
music of Africa.
When it came time for all to Join in the
refrain he waved his arms, and then from
every throat went up:
eMalle DIR ca va di zaoiar'
He had hardly ended the fourth stanza
before two women, uttering a loud cry,
joined their leader on the floor, and these
three began a march around the room. AS
the song progressed, an emaciated young
negro stepped out, and, amid the shouts OF
all, fell in behind the others.
The last addition to the wild dancers
was most affected of all, and in a sort of
delirium he picked up two of the candles
and marched on with them in his hand.
When he arrived opposite the Queen she
gave him something to drink out of bot
tie. After swallowing some he retained a
mouthful, which, with a peculiar blowing
sound. he spurted in a mist from his lips,
holding the candle so as to catch the va
por. As it was alcohol it blazed up, and
this attempt at necromancy was hailed
with a shout.
Then commenced the regular voudou
dance with all its twistings and contor-
lions. Two of the women fell exhausted
to the floor in a frenzy and fr0thing at the
mouth, and the emaciated young man
was carried out Of the room unconscious.
Enough had been seen to satisfy the
guests, and leaving the now highly eX-
cited crowd still continuing the dance, a
start was made for the city, the hour
being l O'Clock.

FREAKs Ola LIGHTNING.
A Carpenter Stripped of His Clothing
Before One Could saw Jack Robinson.
Rochester Herald

At 2O'clOck yesterday afternoon, during
the first shower, lightning struck the new
house in process Of erection by. Alexander
frank, on State street, near Mohawk,
Lansingburg. Albert Painton, who was
lathing in the second story of the
structure, was stricken by the fluid.
which passed from his shoulder down his
arm, tearing Off his shirt sleeve, and from
his hip to his feet, carrying away the
entire leg of his pantaloOns. His arm and
leg were shOckingly burned and for time
were completely paralyzed. He speedily
recovered the use of his limbs and last
night was suffering only from his burns.
The lightning passed through both floors
to the cellar without doing material
damage. Benjamin Bailey, who was lath-
ing along side of Painton, was severely
shocked, but not injured.
A severe thunderstorm occurred at
SchrOOn Lake Friday. Mrs. f. NJ
Rounds became frightened and took
refuge in the cellar of her residence.
Lightning struck the chimney of the
building, following that and the stoyepipe
to the stove and thence to the cellar,
striking her near the head and following
her left side to the feet, leaving purple
stripe, and in one place burning a spot as
large as the palm of the hand. Mrs.
Rounds suffered terribly and for a time
her life was despaired of. She rallied,
however, and is considered a little better.
