south Australia is. indeed, not meta
phorically, but literally a iowery land
To be aware OF that fact one has but to
pay n visit to the Adelaide botanic gar
dens. of which the indefatigable cura-
tor is Dr. r. Schomburgk, a savant of
European reputation. who is decorated
with a dozen orders of European knight
hood. OF course, the preponderant
features of the vegetation OF the colony
are in the two genera of the Australian
iiora, the eucalyptus and acacia.
Naturalists noted as a remarkable
fact in the vegetation of South Austria
liza the absence of native eatable fruits,
of which there are none worthy of the
name, except u few berry bearing
shrubs, the principal species OF which
are the so-called native currant and ma
tive peach of the coIonists. But a,
glance at the gr-eengrocers' and fruit
erers shops in the streets of Adelaide
Will at once prove to demonstration
that il South Australia has few indig.
o fruits or edible plants, she has q
wonderful capacity for growing the es-
culents of other regions
In addition to the colossal cauliiow-
ers. admire the immense cabbages, the
splendid carrots, t~urnips, spinach, and
Jerusalem artichokes; the abundant
salads or green meats, and, in par
t~icular, tho seemingly inexhaustiblo
wealth of rainbow-hu and deliciously
fragrant flowers. The whole OF the Aus.
tralian colonies are. indeed, a flower
and fern paradise; but | am told if |
wish to see the iio.al beauties of South
Australia in their most enchanting aspect
! must come hither in spring time-that
Is, September, October and November.
This is only tho hrst week in August,
and we are still in winter. But in the
spring my South Australian friends en-
Enthusiastically declare / should see trees,
shrubs, p%erennials. ANIMALS, riyaling
each other in their flowers, which are
Of such size, richness and color and
general perfection as to DO almost I'M
realizable by the imagination of 4
northern gardener.
AS regards fruit, apples, pears and
the strange looking and more strangely
tasting passion" fruit are the most
prominent OF the gifts of lomona that
rave noticed in the Adelaide markets.
There are pineapples. too; but l am told
they are grown under glass; but at the
proper season | should enjoy plums,
cherries, currants, figs, apricots,
ounces, mulberries, strawberries, cur
rants, raspberries, walnuts, hlberts,
and chestnuts in perfection. Tn quick,
luxuriant grown and early excessive
bearing of the slope fruit producing
trees makes them short lived. Those
that the sun god loves best die young.
The grandest of the vegetables are
grown in the gulleys of the hills behind
Adelaide. Thence are obtained the
caulidowers the dimension Of which so
excited my establishment, and which
are not uncommonly wo feet in diane
ter. The cueumbers, the sweet and
water melons, and the pumpkins also
grow TO an extraordinary size.

READING Foe The AVERAGE BOY.
stoiiss OF Incident aud Adventure +sci
enos-A Bit of Advice.


Frank II. Converse in Boston Globe.l
That it is easier to instill into our
young peoples minds a genuine love for
reading than a love for genuine reading
goes without saying. 1t is an undenia-
bic fact that most young people, no mat
ter what their social or educational sur
roundings may be, have a natural
drawing toward improbable fiction
rather than an instructive fact, and pre-
fer to read stories OF exciting incident
or adventure rather than modern sta
tistics or ancient history.
Especially Is this true of the average
boy o. to-day. Try as hard as you will
to educate him up to your own ideas of
what is best in literature III you your
self have scholastic i%nclinationsl, o
will ind that IL he follows in the course
You have laid out for him il is far more
through motives Of duty than inclina-
ton, and he will turn with surprising
aiacrity from the perfunctory perusal
of sciences to the fascinating stories OF
Jules Aerno or SOME other favorite ia
voritc %boy-author. Remember, AM
speaking Of the average boy.
Look back at the so-called novels
read under protest in your own boyish
days. Stories, perhaps, of stirring ad-
ventures by land or sea, which, border
ing somewhat on the improbable and
marvellous, had nevertheless no actually
harmful tendencies and hrought you
lone. 1t is true that overmuch reading
of light literature tends to unfit the
mind for more solid reading. But wa
are presuming that even il the average
boy-who is generally given to thinking
far more than we give him credit for
does not recognize the fact, the parent
who interests himself in his boys read
ing will do so, and net accordingly.
In the coming millennium all works OF
fiction for the young will ha o the re
timing and ~clevating tone which unfor
tunately only a gifted few Of our mod
ern writers for the young seem able to
infuse into their work. Let the young
who do not affect Scott or Irving cram, p
SO to speak, if they wish, with Trow-
bridge. Stockton, Barnard, Stoddard,
Mrs. Dodge, Miss Alcott, Mrs. Whitney
and hall a score of similar writer's, and
! will guarantee them against the posi-
Die harm that is sometimes feared from
the writings of the less gifted who in
struct, interest and amuse, even while
they do not directly appeal to the best
and highest good in boy nature
Leaving out of the question the per
nicious cheap literature recognizable at
a glance, and the so-called boys pa
pers, which are but a. degree removed
in vulgarity and grossness from the
tiashy criminal or sporting paper, |
would, with the restrictions previously
limited at. give to the average boy carte
blanche in a public or private library,
rather than, by overmuch carping or
criticising of mis- tastes, cause him to
finally seek his amusements elsewhere.
For this is a fast living age, and the out
side associations for n young were
never more dangerous than now.

A OVERWHELMING 1ALIsMAN.


Ihe Latest Novelty In JewsIry-Pecuiisr
Prosperity of the 'oudja-"
American Register.l
The latest noveltry in jewelry consists
Of n curious and effective porte -bonheur
that has been known in Egypt for the
past eighteen centuries, and Is made of
gold or silver and worn as q charm or
bracelet by ladies, and as a cravat pin
by men. The name Of this prosperity
bringing talisman Is ''oudja, Z" signifying
.uck and happiness, and shows the eye
Of Horus, from which a tear drop flows,
Intended to represent the River Nile.
The peculiar property of the ''oudja'
looked upon it as an emblem not only
capable Of warding off adversely, but
also Of having a large influence over the
goodly yielding of the earth, contain
ing, as it does, the main principles and
fertility, i. e., FIRE represented by the
sun, Horsus, and water, by the tear
lowing as the Nile. This charming
little amulet is being adopted by many
members of the aristocracy, and is pre-
sented by friends one to the other with
the graceful wishes usual on such occa-
Sions, to such an extent that not a Par
isian with a particle of superstition will
exist without his or her "oudja." The
bangle pendants are made of gold and
precious stones, of pure gold and silver,
to accommodate all sorts of conditions
and purses.
In London they are creating a Juror
from the simple fact of their hailing
from Egypt, and the curious history

"Picking the ears is a most mis-
chievous practice; in attempting to do
this with hard substances an unlucky
motion has many II time pierced the
drum and made it as useless as a bursted
rubber life-preseryer nothing sharper or
harder than the end of the little hnger,
with the nail pared, ought over to be
introduced into the ear, unless by a
physician.
Persons are often seen e%ndeavoring
to remove the wax" of the ear with
the head Of a pin; this ought never to
be done: first, because it not only ell
dangers the rupture of the ear by being
pushed too far in, but if not so far, it
may CRATE against the drum, excite in
fiammation, produce an ulcer which
may finally eat all the parts away; sec
ond, hard substances have often slipped
in, and caused the necessity of painful,
dangerous, and expensive operations;
third, the wax is manufactured by ma
ture to guard the entrance from dust,
insects, and ~unmodifed cold air, and
when it has subserved its purpose it
becomes dry, scaly, and light, and in
this condition is easily pushed outside
by new formations of wax within.

Our ship received barrels of honey.
bags of %lentils, CHILEAN beans for Liver

sacks tor Bordeaux. This last shipment
interested me very much, for "a gentle
man in the wine business, n passenger

He said it was a chief ingredient of
Chill wines of which great Quantities
were made at Tomo where were large
vineyards. That the wine usually sent

juice and the rest was a mere manu-
facture in which this macquie had n
very prominent place. That in the

fore drying was about the size OF n large

raisin and vas surrounded by n pulp
which on being chewed gave forth a
deep red color like logwood. Ii grows
extensively in this country and enters
not only into the wine making OF the
land, but also goes to France for the
same purpose.
This gentleman told me that not one
bottle ont of /, 900 from or eaux or
even Chill was pure grape wine. lie
soid he had receipts for doctoring and
fixing wine and freely used them
that pure wines could not be obtained
at any such price as the purported to

wild but is now teing cultivated for the
crop. Iafterward learned from a presi-
dent of Patagonia thatit grows in large
quantities there. 1t is a sort oil wii

gonians ~callabhat. In time its value
as an article OF export will be felt in

Although there is but little likeness
between the two swift erlands, yet this
saxon land can hold its own for wild

In these freaks OF nature. and one can

The late King Alfonso cherished u

Mercedes wore at her first communion,
those she wore when he married her
and also some toys with which she
played in childhood, in addition 10 good
pictures OF her. As Mercedes did not
live long enough after her marriage to

Sealskins when taken from the ami
mails are simply saltod and brought here
in barrels. The natural color OF the
fur which underlies the coarse hair or
outside covering is a dirty cinnamon,
and, instead of having the rich, ~velvety
color which its wearers take such de
light in. is tangled an | curly. The first
work done on the raw skins is to lay
them, fur down. on semi-circular beams
and strip OFF the fat with knives Of diff
ferent shapes. Next they are stretched
on hoops and placed in a drying room.
SeAt comes the business of plucking. or
''unhniring, ID as it is called in the ng-
lish factories, and this process is kept Il
secret. The skins arc then washed clean
and hoped and dried again. Once
more they are shaved, then butter
tanned, and then put into q tram.
ping tub, where 4 man in Adamic COS
tune kneads them until the whole mass
Of skins is impregnated with animal
heat
The tanning and trampling are re
peated again and again, until good
leather has been made. The cleaning
machine and the leating machine come
next. and then the skins are taken into
the chemical room, and the door locked
upon the operator. Then come the
smearing. the rubbing, the beating, the
smetring again, and SO on until the
dark bron 9 or ct black color required
has been obtained. may be gathered
from this brie outline, the whole pro.
cess involves a vast amount OF labor
and skill. Each skin is handled more
than 200 times, and at least two months
are required to bring the pelt to perfec-
ton.

About the only place aside from tho

no more than two Dr. three years on an

that time, and are sent back for redemp-
ion. Tho fact that you do not see
much money in the treasury, however,
loes not argue that it is not being

in an account Of a journey to Killma-
ma co, describes the natives as clever
smiths, who forge all sorts of tools.
arms, and decorative articles from pig
iron, which is brought from the co ntry

consists simply of a pair of g~oatskin

The bellows is kept steady by several
pegs thrust into the ground, and a huge

The Chemist and Druggist gives the
result Of Dr. Magnier de la Sources in
vestigations into the adulteration of
French wines. The average annual i'm
p~ortation of so-called wine sold there
amounts to 100, 900, 900 gallons. The
adulterants are chiefly water, alcohol
and glucose, and the coloring liquid is
made largely from the heavy DRESSINGS
of dry grapes More than 40 per cent,
of the wines were so fortified, during
1884, as to contain 10 per cent Of al
cohol; natural wines contain only about
10 per cent Even Of the very mild
wines, less than four samples in 100
contained less than 8 per cent of alco-
hol. The conclusion is that French peo-
Pile are constantly demanding stronger
wines and are growing less particular as
to delicaoy of flavor.
