Our Eccentricities.

America is the home of all forms of
eccentricity and daring. Has not the
vastness of the continent the Ameri-
cans inhabit something TO do with thisi
| think so. There is that boundlessness
about the notions Of an American
which must be born of the vastness,
the limitless possibilities Of such a
great territory. To the American, his
own daring and eccentricity are the
most natural things in the world, and
this is what makes a great part Of his
charm. He talks of, or does, things
that fairly take your breath away
just as coolly as il they were mat
tiers Of every day occurrence.
Parisians remember to this day
the American millionaire was
going to say billionaire-who. on the
occasion of his daughters wedding,
wrote TO the town council Of Paris
TO ask for the loan of the Arc de
Triomphe, which he was anxious to
decorate in honor of the wedding and
have the special useof during the day.
He was politely informed that the
arch was not TO lei. 'Then | will buy
it." he replied; name your price"
An American would ask the queen Of
England to let him have Windsor
castle for the shooting season, and il
she refused a good price for it, he
would probably have a very poor idea
Of her. The looking upon everything
and everybody as being 10 be had at a
price, is one of the chief forms of this
daring OF the American. II would be
an ugly trait in his character il often
it were not so p~reposterous as to be
amusing, and If il were not backed by
a perfect bonhomie. Max O'Rell.

Tropical Fruits.

The impression is no doubt general
that the tropics are especially favor
able TO fruit culture. Travellers de-
scribe in glowing colos the appear
ance of orange trees Tearing at one
and the same time blossoms, green
fruit and ripe. Such a condition of
things is convenient and desirable in
cases where the fruit is raised for home
consumption, but il is a serious draw
back to expectation. A fixed season
for harvesting is necessary II the aim
Of the culturist be supplying a foreign
market.
In the case OF fruit which has to be
gathered in clusters, like the grape,
this habit Of ripening indifferently al
any time Of year Isl most ~inconven.
lent one.
II is said by observers that in Brazil
ane in tropical Africa grapes look
well, but the lunches never ripen
thoroughly. In fact, the same cluster
will contain berries Of every age, from
the smallest green 10 the oldest purple.
For the making Of wine this makes
necessary a sorting OF the berries,
which involves q great deal Of labor
and trouble, as well "a a waste Of fruit.
Again, in many parts Of tropical
America, the hot season is also the
rainy season. The wet and heat To-
gether lead to rapid decay as the fruit
approaches maturity.
To protect itself from this danger,
the skin Of the grape is said 10 become
thick and leathery, and il acquires an
unpleasant taste. We all aware how
thick is the peel Of the orange and
lemon, and how abundant is the oil il
contains TO protect from decay the
pulp within Youths Companion.
