MANGO AND, OTHER STARE Els.

Among the many minor prod" that nave
claimed he attention of the .,ublie recently,
starche8 from the various fru and roots g-owo
in Jamaica have been frequently shown and
commented upon. Lately Mrs. Johnson, Of
No T., Hanover St, Kingston, has turned her
attention to their manufacture and several very
fine samples produced by her have been sub
mitted for inspection. Notably, among the
many, is a starch extracted from the ,-.ango,
which is said to be very palatable, while con-
TAXING much nutriment. The lady states from
two dozen mangoes she obtained five ounces
Of pure starch by a simple and inexpensive
process. This demonstrates that We possess
in our midst many articles that can be sup
Piled cheaper to the consumer than kindred
articles manufactured from grain can be i'm
ported aud sold for here.
The mango starch is said to be equal in
every respect q that extracted from the casava
root for laundry purposes, while it makes the
most delicious %;ellies, buildings, and other
nourishing foods.
The mango, although not indigenous to this
country, now grows in the wiIdelt pr fusion,
bearing fruit in such MORMON quantities that
it is believed, luscious at. the fldit is, not one
tenth Of the crop is cor I'D. for tons of
mangoes are annually allowed t rot under the

Here then is a chan e for enterprise With a

which the fruit, when full and before il com

There is no limit here to the quantity that can
be made, and when it is known and appreciate
ed a market will be found for all that can be
extracted. The industry commends Itself and
we believe we have only to draw the attention
Of the people to the fact to induce its me- ftcr
ture, and thus utilize and capitalize the ep017Q-
GUS value that rots under the mango trees year
after year. Mrs. johnson assures Us that ali
varieties Of mangoes will yield a starch; she

While Anton lay in jail wearily
awaiting his trial, velasquez arrived
at the conclusion that about the best
thing he could do was TO move out Of the
valley.
So the lawyers were consulted in re-
gard TO Delaro's estate, and after sever
al disputes settlement was agreed
upon.
Delaro's sorrowing wife, finding that
the horrible associations OF the district
would be too much for her, resolved TO
sell every thing and move TO Santa
Rosa where her friends and parents had
long resided.
In all her negotiations and other
business matters, she was ably
assisted and indeed guided by
Joel Wilcox, and this proved o
fortunate arrangement for her. For
a woman with no more knowledge OF
law and business than Mrs. Delaro
would have been pliable tool in the
hands Of 30 unprincipled and crafty o
man as velasquez
The estate, including the wine cell
lars and every thing else connected
with II, was sold, and, after all the
final details were settled, velasquez re-
ceived check for very nearly the same
amount he had agreed upon with Mario
Delaro on the night Of the murder.

Accompanying him was Velasquez, the
man whom Wilcox despised above all the
many despicable people he had met in
the course OF q long lifetime
Hello" said Wilcox, in his free and
easy manner, to the justice, whats
up?"
He had like every one else heard all
about tho tragedy, but felt bound to
give vent to the stereotyped inquiry.
The old gentleman walked across to
the Justice and sat down beside him
while the administrator OF law and or
der related TO him the more recent de-
velopments Of the case.
When Wilcox heard that Anton Rey-
man was charged with the murder he
excitedly jumped from his scat and
shouted:
"Why you thunderin' blockheads, you
are not going to commit an honest
man like Reyman for the murder Of
Mario Delaro, Just because he had few
angry words with him and happened to
be the first man to foller him out OF the
cellars last night?"
There seems TO be no alternative" !"
said the justice, "but you may rest as
sured he will have fair trial"
"Ah, by God, that he shall" said the
bluff Yankee. ''if 1t takes every cent OF
money I've got to securoit Dammit,
he's no more guilty OF that crime than
his poor little baby is"
As he spoke these words-whether in
tentionally or not-his glance wandered
towards Velasquez, who was in the
room, and IL struck him that Velasquez
WINGED.
Then he crossed over to Anton and
said; Cheer up old boy and keep good
heart II there's any justice in these
parts at all you shall get it."
Then turning to Velasquez, he said:
"And as for you, suppose now that
Delaro is out of the way you are pleased

You'll be trying next 10 turn the widow

make your mind up right here that
you're not going to have 1t all your own
way. II Mrs. Delaro ever wants protec-
tion from such infamous blood-suckers
as you she knows where TO find one."
Velasquez listened apparently quietly,
but inwardly full OF interest, and said
as politely as he could: II fail to CON-
,prehend what l have ever done TO morit
this abuse, Mr.. Wilcox"
Then you can know now that I've
got q mighty good reason for my words
and you'd better be careful"
With this they both walked away.
That night Anton spent behind the
bars, charged with the dreadful crime
OF murder.

Many of them believe that we have our deities. There was Q friend of mine at my home who, while riding down road, saw an old Buddhist priest out in front of a house calling wildly on an idol.

 "Oh,'' said the priest, ''there is child sick with bilious fever and we are trying to cure him by the use of a new idol, just from America. ;'
 ''You are mistaken, :" said my friend ''our people do not worship idols.'

THE GENUINE TURKISH BATHS.

Anterior of 8 IIarc'n, O. Bathing EstGb-
 Hshment-In a Cloud of Vapor.
 The bathing establishments, or ha- mans, consist of large octagonal or circu- lar halls, paved with fagstones, around which run stone seats or very hard divans. In these halls, which are heated to excess and filled with steam. the bathers have themselves washed, rubbed and sham pooed by employees called telaks, who, with their hands incased in hair gloves, knead the flesh vigorously until it becomes clean, flexible and soft like satin.
 Men go to the bath siICly, and remain there only an hour or two; but women 90 there in parties, and sometimes pass the entire day there drinking syrupS, smOk- ing cigarettes, eating rhat loukoUm and RweetmeatS and sleeping on Glvans or in small beds placed around the bath room.
 The exterior of tnc hamams presents nothing very remarkable. They are large tow structures, built of brick, covered with stucco, and always paved with mar ble They are lighted only by small, round skylighLs set in the eupolas and provided with grecuish panes, which throw into the rooms dim light resem- bling moonlight and very favorable to re- pose. A furnace underneath heats the building by means of pipes which are run all through the walls even. The temper ature is raised to forty, fifty and sixty de- grees Centigrade.
 After undressing the bathers envelop themselves in long wrap pechtumal) and make delightful plunge into cloud of vapor, which produces, even in the case of the leanest, profuse and debilita- ting precipitation. One puts on clogs, which look like small stilts, to protect One's feet from the extreme heat of the floor. There are large white marble urns fastened against the wall, which receive cold and boiling water by separate faucets; 1t is around these Urns that all the purif- cations commanded by the Koran are made. Seated upon a little cedar stocl, the bather poars upon his head and body large bowls of water, which he heats to the desired temperature by the faucets.
 The hamams, of which there are more than 300 in Stamboul alone, have DO fixed tariff The charges depend upon the look and the dress of the bather and vary from two sous to twenty-three francs. Rich pashas sometimes hire them outright for their families, and think that if they pay less than forty Turkish livres tS18, they have done something deroge- tory to their dignity. On the ether hand, beggars and poor people are admitted free of charge. to certain baths designed for their use; and this is' blessing to them as well as to their neighborS; for these pc riodical ablutions diminish their extreme filthiness and arrest the growth Of the verrnin nourished at their expense.-The Cosmopolitan.
