About Nutmegs.

Nutmegs are the fruit Of tree that
bears from ten years old to one hum
dreG. The leaves resemble the laurel;
the flowers are white, two or three on
peduncle. The nutmeg proceeds from
a reddish knob in the centre Of the
flower, yet not more than one-thirj
ripened. The fruit is the size OF an
apricot, pear shaped. When ripe it
opens and displays the nutmeg in
black and shining shell, inclosed in
network of scarlet mace. The shell is
that of a filbert; it is dried with care,
and when the nutmeg shakes in 1t, Is
broken, and the nutmeg soaked in sea
water and lime to preserve IL from in-
sects. The fruit is gathered two or
three times year. Three sorts OF nut
megs are distinguished, namely: the
male or barren, the royal and the queen.
Although nutmegs are Of various
shapes, those of the bost quality are
round. The largest and finest weigh,
on the average, about quarter oil an
ounce each. They should have an
agreeable flavor, yet inclined to be Bit
ter, and when pierced exude an oily
Juice. A fine nutmeg tree in Jamaica
is stated to have had upward Of four
thousand large fruit upon it.

City Life TOO Gay For Them.

A motherly, fuzzy old hen, with sew
en- flossy little chicks, boards in the
show-window Of Madison street furn-
ishing store. The window Is paved
with sand, sawdust, and gravel. The
seven chicks eat cornmeal out of hat
box cover, while the mother consumes
corn and gravel with intermittent regu-
larity. Together they form quite q
contrast to the busy scenes Of city life,
and crowd of curious, gaping people
stand in front of the show-window all
day and even into the night.
Two weeks ago, when the family
first moved in, the mother had a bright
eye, Il triumphant "cluck," and the
chicks were round, plump, and chirpy.
Now the signs of city dissipation
are visible OH all. The "cluck' has de-
generated into querulous cackle, and
the anxious matron has grown nervous
in her manner and erratic In her move
ments. The chicks in their uncertain
wanderings over the sawdust floor and
their watery-eyed contemplation Of the
observers began to remind one Of very
young men who have been making
night of it, smoking cigarettes and con-
suming small beer and sarsaparilla pop.
This comes Of keeping late hours. A
big electric lamp which hangs directly
over the window is to blame for it all.
The old hen, with the obstinacy of
her sex, has been going through the
same performance at seven o'clock
every evening since she moved to the
city. At that hour she struts around
her cage several times, "clucks" ex-
citedly, picks out good spot, scratches
violently for minute or SO, and then
calmly squats down. Then by series
of "clucks," often practiced by all we'll
organized mother hens, she calls her

lows are not bit sleepy, but there is
no disputing the maternal authority,
and III moment all are snugly en-
conced under the feathery covering.
The old hen clucks softer and softer,
the chicks pipe shrilly, and in little
moment the whole family is sound
asleep. Soon following this nocturnal
ceremony the trouble brews. With a
buzz and a splutter the big electric
lamp bursts into light. 1t casts molt-
EN- glow on the old hen. She wakes up,
cocks one eye, and surveys the big,
strange orb in surprise. 1t certainly

and in a ahrill chorus chirp good-morn-
