A IRIRuIE OE REspEcI


With sadness, have just read in the
HERALD of July 9Th. the obituary OF
the late Capt IL, ID. Farquharson. In
his employ for over two years had an
excellent opportunity of forming an
estimate Of his character, and am nm
willing 10 let the occasion pass without
lay ing on his bier token of alfec.ion,
and paying brief tribute of respect TO
the memory of brave and generous
man. Closely associated with him in
the management Of the HERALD, saw
much of the real man, and grew TO like
him for his good qualities of heart and
mind, though to the outside world per-
haps they are much dimmed or entirely
obscured. There was not in his nature
a particle of hypocrisy. lie was what
he was and sought not to appear o'her-
wise lilo bad his own lew of life and
standard Of living. Alas! How | wish
cd sometimes they We're different, but
he was satisfied and met argument with
Indifference. Brave, daring, resolute
of nndauntcd purpose in his plans, he
was an unrelentng For and as friend,
generous to fault And il he had his
faults and who has them not. let us
bring them in loving forgeifulness and
remember Cap. Ferg" for his generous
and manly qualities. for he possessed
many of them. May The turf rest light
ly on his grave, for the grave holds not
a kindlier heart. CHAs RUSSELL.

INDlA'S SUGAR TREE.
One of the Most Useful of Natures Gifts to
Man.

Every part of the tree, in fact. Is OF
use. The timber being hard and strong,
close aud even-grained. is used for the
wheels of carriages. railway sleepers,
etc. The flowers when dried have
somewhat the odor and appearance of
sultana raisins. They are produced
in enormous quantities in March and
April after the old leaves have fallen,
and before the new leaves have APP
peared the crop rarely fails. The
fleshy flowers fall off and cover the
ground beneath the trees, and are
gathered eagerly by the natives every
morning during the towering season.
A single tree yields from 200 to 400
pounds weight of flowers. They are
very rich in sugar. and yield when
fermented a large quantity OF spirit.
as much as six and one-sixteenth gall
ions OF proof spirit per hundredweight
having been obtained from them. The
spirit is manufactured to a great ex-
tent in India. and it is said that the
government receives quite a large
amount for duty on the spirits dis
titled. The flowers have from time to
time been placed before important
distillers in England. but owing to a
peculiar flavor being developed
caused. it is thought. by the persistent
stamens. which it is difficult to re-
move from the flowess-the spirit dis
titled has never been brought into
consumption in the British market :

A New AIiment from Wheat.

According to LIE Genie Civil. DIR.
Dujardin-B recently exhibited
at the Paris Academy OF Medicine a
new alimentary substance-"f romen-
tine"-which is obtained from wheat
by tho aid of special millstones.
Fromentine is the embryo of wheat
reduced to flour and deprived of the
Oil which it contains. The substance
contains three times more heterogeneous
substance than meat. and a strong pro-
portion of sugar Thus, the amount
of heterogeneous matter in it is 81 per
cent, while that of the richest meat,
mutton, is but 81 per cent, and the
proportion of digestible substance
reaches 81 per cent. of the total
weight. Hence it would appear that 1t
might advantageously replace powder
ed meat as Il concentrated food. II
can be used for making soups, and
even for making biscuits. the taste oS
which would not be disagreeable. The
wheat germs employed are by-prod-
uct in the Schweitzer process of manu-
featuring flour which can be Kept for a
long time Without dcteriorating.

Hard Wort in the Blue Grass.

1t was a day OF perfect beauty on

had refreshed the face OF nature, and
the sunshine lay bright and warm on
