to our town By growers of this fruit.
This fruit, when fresh and ripe, IS
healthful and cooling, though, like
most other good things, they may be
used to excess. When not ripe, or
when wilted, they should not
be used ct all Unripe or decaying
fruits and vegetables are at all times
dangerous.

The announcement of almost all khe
appointments Of President Cleveland
occasions surprise to politicians of both
parties, who usually agree in naming
some person whom they know by repu=
tation, at least, and cannot conceive of
how the president can disregard their
selection. When governor of New York.
Mr.. Cleveland was singularly original
in his methods. One of the earliest and
most important appointments which the
governor had to make was that of su-
perintsndent Of the new capitol. The
usual amount of wire-pulling and pipe
laying was done to secure this place by
active politicians with strong "claims, !"
which were pushed with the usual
amount of persistence and impudence
by the usual number of delegations. !"
This won't on for some time, until it was
suddenly ended one day by the govern
or's appointing man who had never
been in politics, but whose fitness for
the duties of the place had been learned
by personal investigation on Mr.. Glove.
lands part. As president, he may be
expected to do such things, and occa-
sionally. may make mistakes.

Thu number of mercantile failures ia
the United States during the quarter
to end March 81 is much larger than
tho total during = like portion of any
preceding year since such statistics
have been collected. Bradstreet says
of this fact: The number of heavy fall
ures has, comparatively speaking, shown
. conspicuous decline. The forces
which lie behind, and which have been
working out the destruction of 80 many
commercial ventures, appear to have
proceeded far on their way from the
center to the surface; and the records
of failures show it in an increasing
number Of minor, often petty, CONNER
cial disasters. This appears to indi-
cate the probable approach Of decline
in tho late heavy-failure rate.

One American Girl Abroad.

met her once at a ball in Hamilton,
Ont. There were lot of our English
army fellows there, and they have o
pretty good notion of their personal
Importance. The girl in question had
just come from Chicago, and was quite
the craze in Hamilton society. One of
the fellows suggested to Captain,
OF the Guards, that he'd like to intro
duce him. 'Awh, an American girl, eli ?
said the Captain, twirling his mustache.
Wants to know me, Ell? Well, I don't
mind, me boy. Trot her up, if you like.
A friend repeated this to the lady, and
when the Captain was introduced; she
surveyed him calmly and said: All, It's
an officer, isn't it? I don't like it-trot
it back"

In the Supreme court of the United
States, decision was rendered in the
Utah cases, in which the constitution
atty of the Edmunds Polygamy act, as
it il termed, was fully affirmed. At the
same time, certain acts of the Boards of
Registration, under rules adopted by
the Utah Commissioners, in regard to
oaths to be exacted of persons applying
to be registered as voters, are declared
to be invalid. It is held that such
rules as the commissioners pre-
scribed for the Registration Boards as
were not authorized by the Edmunds
act were void, and the boards were not
bound by them, and acted under them
ut their own peril. Hence the Regis
tration Boards are personally liable for
excluding from the registry and the
franchise such persons as had right to
vote. The law, however, which dis
franchised the polygamous portion of
tho voters is declared to be constitution.

of his Office was arranged black wal

the dealer continued: "This piece

driven into the water, twenty-six days

had been driven was pierced with holes
and had been made utterly worthless.
He found an immense number of small
worms in the wood.

The natives use the lace cloth or fiber
for the manufacture of articles Of cloth

who visited Jamaica, was % struck
with the wonderful properties of the

was made from it, that she constructed
