Tropical Frmits.

The impression is no doubt gcnerah
that the tropics arc especially favorable
to fruit culture. Travellers describe in Z
glowing colors tho appearance of orange
trees bearing ut ono and the same time
blossoms, green fruit and Iipe. Such u
condition Of things is convenient and
desirable in cases where fruit is raised
for home consumption. but it is n serious
drawback to expectation. A fixed sea-
son for harvesting is necessary if tho
aim of the culturist be supplying q
foreign market -
In the case of fruit which has TO be
gathered in clusters, like the grape, this
habit of ripcning inditferently ct any
time of year is u most announcement one.
1T is said by observers that in Brazil
and in tropical Africa grapes look we'll,
but the punches never ripcn thorouehly.
In fact, the same cluster Will contain
berries of every age, from the smallest
green to the oldest purple. For the max.
ing Of wine tn S makes necessary a.sort-F
ing OF the berries, which involves a great
deal Of labor and trouble, as well us o.
waste of fruit.
Again, III many parts of tropical
America, tic hot season is the rainy
season. I he wet and heat togethoriead
to rapid decay as the fruit approaches
maturity.
Toprotect itself from this danger. this
skin of the grape is said tobecome thick
lnd leathcry, and it acquires an un-
pleasant taste. We are all aware how
thick is the peel OF tho orange and
lemon, and how abundant is tho oil it,

The general uniitncss and incnpability
of the dwe!lers in our large hive, of in

Of fatigue, is n fact requiring little evil
dcncc to establish; nor can they tolerate
the withdrawal of food under sustained

through the various factors Mt work

the poorer class Of town dwelicis, various
forms of disease arc dc, clopcd, of which
pulmonary consumption is the most
familiar, and which is doing its fatal
work in lavish and umcrring fashion.
Thus it may he conceded as an cstab-

piled in the loss of physical or muscular
power of the body, the attenuation of

to the invasion of disease, rather than in

true causes of this deterioration are
neither very obscure nor far to seek.
They are bad air and bad habits. To
