PECU1ARITIEs OF FTRoPICAL FRUIT.

The wild banana is native of the
Malay region, according to De Candolle
who has produced by far the most
learned and unreadable work on the
origin of domestic plants ever yet writ
ten. The wild form produces see d,
and grows III Cochin China, the Philip
pines, CeylOn and Khasia. Like most
other large tropical fruits, it no doubt
owes its original development to the
selective action of monkeys, hornbills,
parrots, and other big fruit-eaters and
it shares with all fruits of similar origin
one curious tropical popularity. Most
the raspberry. the currant and the
blackberry, developed by the selective
action of small northren birds, can be
popped at once into the mouth and
eaten whole they have no tough outer
rind or defensive covering of any sort.
But big tropical fruit which lay them
selves out for the service large birds or
monkeys, have always hard outer coats,
because they could only be injured by
smaller animals, who would eat the pulp
without helping in the dispersion of
the useful seeds, the one object really
held in view by the mother plant.
Often, as in the case of the orange, the
rind even contains q bitter, nauseous,
or pug9nt juice, while at times, as in
the pineapple, the prickly pear. the
sweet-sOp, and The cherimoyer, the
entire fruit is covered with sharp pro-
! jections, stinging hairs or knobby pro-
tuberances, on purpose to warn off the
unauthorized depredator. It was this
line of defense that gave the banana il
the first instance its thick yellow skin
and looking at the matter from tn,
epicure's point of view, one may Sc,
roughly that all tropical fruits have tC
be skinned before they can be eaten
They are all adapted for being cut VI
with a knife and fork or dug out with {
spoon, on a civilized desert-plate. A

Piles are frequently preceded BY a
sense of weight in the back, loins and
lower part of the abdomen, causing
the patient to suppose he has some
affection of the Kidneys or neighbor-
ing organs. AT times, symptoms of
indigestions are present, iltulcnsy, UNI
easlnrss of the stomach, etc. A moist
ure like pcrspiration, producing a
very disagrceable itching, after get

How often does the above inquiry
rise to the lips from hearts burdened |
with interest in the momcntous strug-
gle which now to all human appear
ing seems inevitable. We will try to
answer IL as best we may. The tenor
of the dispatches both from the far
east itself, as well as from London and
st. Petersburg, for the last few days
seems to indicate that war is inevitn-
ble-that it must come sooner oflatcr
and the indications all point to the
early commencement of the terrific
struggle which, when once joined,
will deeply touch the world, even TO
its proioundest depths. Two mighty
nations confront each other, two pow
erful rivals for eastern influence anil
trade, the one with lifetime of de-
sire aud the other with three hundred
years of possession are to try conclu-
sions on the very ground where old
Darius marshaled his uncount-
cd hosts. 1t will be n grand struggle,
and its effects will be felt to the re.
hottest corners of the earth. Russia
has been steadily pushing her frontier
eastward until Turkestan is now ell
tirely in her power. She has arrived
at the Afghan line, and has even made
hostile entry upon Afghan territory
striking Mt lIerat, a point of great
strategic worth If such war is once
commenced in earnest. England is in
close amity with the Ameer, aud by
solemn treaty engaged to protect
the integrity of his dominions to her
last man and her last dollar. Afghan
istan is the neutral strip between the
British possessions in India AMI the
eastern line of the cars widely cX-
tended dominions. The policy OF
Russia has ever been to extend her
eastern frontier. In doing that she
can only do il by trenching on Bri.
fish claims, and England can give VI
no single foot OF them save and cx
cept after the strength of her empir,
hoo i,aau anfirnlv DESTROYED Rnssi,
evidently believes the time is ripe Ia
resume her policy ofeastern conquest
Indeed, she has been steadily pursu
ing IL for the last ten years, but ha
only now arrived at the point where
England is bound by actual contrac
and treaty stipulations to meet her.
There can be no doubt oft, war i:
from these causes, inevitable, soone
or later, and that 1t is to come a
r once is indicated by the state of readi
ness Russia exhibits. 1t doesn't mat
ter that England is partially UMPIRE
pared. In fact, that circumstance bu
hastens or precipitates the fight
Russia fights because she is ready, an
England fights.becauso she is compel
ed to. That is the exact situation
and all of her diplomacy and appar
ent holding back is only to gaia tim
to get her forces into position. Rus
