Apt to Kill IF Eaten and to Burn If Han
died, Yet Very Refreshing.
A Sun reporter found himself in a
crowd that stood staring into fruit
store window the other day. In tho
window, hanging by string, was some
thing that locked like big Bartlett
pear, except that its color was deep rcd
On the big end of the fruit was pulpy
looking protuberance. Pushing his way
into the store and pointing to the
strange fruit in the window, the re-
porter asked the dealer: s,..
''What kind of pear is that?" -
''It's no kind of a pear" replied the
fruit man. "It's Brazilian caju."
sob, indeed!' said the reporter.
''Yes," replied the dealer, "that's
caju, and it's the only one in the city, L
guess It's curious kind of a fruit, too,
for while it is one of the most delight
fully cool and refreshing of delicacies
it will make you deathly sick, and may be
kill you, if you eat it. The Brazilian
caju wasn't made to be eaten. You have
to drink it to properly enjoy it"
"Ah" said the reporter. ''What are
the habits of this peculiar fruit?"
"Well," said the custodian of tho
caju, ''that one in the window is what
they call garden caju because it is
cultivated one, but it grows wild, very
wild. They make claret wine out of
the wild caju down in Brazil that the ma
tives dote on. 1t will stand you on
your head in less than ten minutes.
The cultivated fruit sometimes turns
out red like that one, but it is also apt
to be yellow, and perhaps pink Tho
ways of the cal are in no way in
fluenced by its color, though. A rcd
one can't discount pink one, and yell
low one is as much of thoroughbred as
either of the others. The pulp of tho
most luscious orange ism t half as tempt
ing as the inside of the caju, but tho
caju pulp is poison. Juice is what tho
caiu is for. I'll bet that red one yondcr
has moro than pint of juice in it, and
if you ever tasted it you'd never let go
until you engulfed the whole of it.
There's nothing finer. The swell Bra
lillian sucks the juice out of a caju every
morning before breakfast"
"What does the ca ju wear that ro-
sette for on it's big end?" asked the re-
porter
''Well, that isn't exactly rosette,"
replied the fruit-dealer, 'but it looks
like one, doesn't it? That is the
seeds of the fruit. They are put on
the outside to make room for more juice
inside, suppose, and for another very
important reason. If they grew on the
inside the sucking of caju would be
followed by the instant and complete
annihilation of the suckers stomach.
You can't see the seeds because they
are covered up by pulp. That pulp has
a juice of its own, and wherever it hap
pens to touch your flesh big blister
will rise up and burrow itself into tho
flesh like the burning head of parlor
match. They don't seem to mind it
down in Brazil, though"
''Do you intend to introduce the caju
in our markets." asked the reporter.
"Well, we had thought of it some,"
said the fruit dealer, ''but have an
idea that we can't hope to make luxu-
ry popular up here that is liable to kill
you if you eat it and burn you up if you
handle it. I'd like to have a quart of
caju juice right now, though, all the
same."-N. Y. Sun.

How Bright Young Fellow Won His
Employers Heart.
Old Simmonsly advertised for secre-
tary, and when young man presented
himself, the old fellow looked at him
sharply and in a gruff voice asked: -
''Well, sir, what can you do?" "a
''Don't know, exactly-haven't sized
myself up in a complete way yet, but 1
think that l can manage to hold my end
up"
Eyes, you think so. Now, sir want
a man to do my writing, and 1 want him
to be man of Judgment. Do you I'M

''Yes"
81 don't want any namby-pamby fell
low about me. l want q man to catch
my ideas at once, and in expressing
them to my correspondents to use as
few words as possible"
''Think I'm your man, sir
81 don't want any scollops, under
stand. I want plain words-want a
spade to be called spade"
'All right, sir, and if don't suit you
I don't think there is any body that

''What is your name?'
"Spires." n
every good, Mr.. Spires, you may go
to work"
When the old man took up the first
letter that Spires had written, he looked
at it moment and then uttered an
angry exclamation. "Why, what do
you mean here? After signing my name
you have put the word 'Sweats.' What
did you do that for?"
"Why, to carry out your idea of call
ing a spade spade; for, instead of say
ing per Spires, I have simply added
Sweats, which, you know, means the
same thing, expressed in a simpler
way"
"Mr. Spires" said the old man, and
his voice trembled, 81 shall take you
into full co-partncrship at once. Mr..

One of the "reminiscences which the
queen loves to recall is of the time when
Louis Napoleon was her guest aboard
the royal yacht Victoria and Albert.
The French monarch praised the sumptu-
GUS furnishings of the vessel, and con-
fessed that he had never felt able to af-
ford so great luxury. but for you,

Mrs. BESSIE HARLAND,
BUFFALO, N. Y, AMERIc
FIRST CABIN, No. 1877.

FIRST CABIN, No. 1877.
There were more words than these,
but tho name and address of the owner
were enough to startle him and throw q
great light on the situation. This "Mrs.
Drane' must be the servant who had
run away with his Bessie's property!
What a complication! She believed
the rascally tramp to be rich; he be-
ieved her to be the possessor of thir-
teen millions; they had married. What
an awakening for each!
This discovery, however, had to be
verified, and the dishonest young woman
who had brought Bessie Harland SO
much trouble must be punished for it..
Lawrence felt that he must move with
exceeding caution. He turned, hardly
certain as to what course he should take,
when the young woman, blushing fitful-
ly and with quivcring voice, said:
"My husbands name amt Drane at
all, at least he said it wasn't. 1 was
truly married to him right in this town,
and can prove it. If you know where
he is"
"He's locked up in New York." ex-
planned Lawrence as she paused. The
young woman's eyes flashed, almost joy
ously, Mr.. Drane thought, and he Won
dcred at it. She became suddenly very
grave and continued:
81 hope you won't be mean with me.
If you will go with me to the minister
that married US, can prove what say,
and p'r'aps he'll help u.s."
81 fail to see what good that will do"
said Lawrence.
''But want you to know that was
really married." persisted the young
woman. "Then I'll tell you all how it
happened, if you won't get mo into
trouble
81 will agrce not to get you into
trouble" replied Lawrence, ''if you will
give me tho correct address of Mrs Bes-
sic Harland, and if you will also return
her property to her"
This blunt request came pretty near
leaving fainting woman on Mr.. Dranes s
hands. Her bushes left her face and
she collapsed into the chair like limp
rag. Lawrence fastened to thrust vari-
GUS bottles of liquids that he saw on a
mantel into her hands, and he famed
her vigorously with his hat.
1t was somc time before she recovered
sufficiently to accuse him of desiring to
play some trick upon her. He protested
that such was not his intention and
urged her to be calm, promising to go
at once to the clcrgyman's if she would
write tho desired address. This she
finally did and then retired to dress for
the street. While he was waiting
Lawrence wondered that she had not
mado particular inquiries about her
husband and his conclusion was that
she cared nothingsfor him, her only de-
sire being to possess his supposed
wealth.
When at last they started downstairs,
the young woman thrust her hand into

CHAPTER Y.

At all seasonable hours the streets of
New Haven are full of pretty girls.
They are merry girls, too, who like to
laugh when there's any thing funny in
sight. Drane, with tho bogus Mrs.
Drane upon his arm, passed some thou
sands of them, or at least he could have
sworn that he did, and they all looked
out of tho corners of their eyes, and
grinned with tho corners of their
mouths.
1t is narrowing to be the object of
this kind of attention. 1t suggests the
possibility of q practical jol1er's placard
on ones back, or black mark along
side ones nose. Drane investigated the
subject as well as ne could by feeling
stealthily up and down his back, and
using his handkerchief with great vigor.
But for the life of him he couldn't find
any thing calculated to create so much
innocent amusement.
81 suppose l look funny without my
mustache," he thought, "but hang me if
l should expect people to notice it who
never saw me before"
Then he glanced down upon his COM
dANi upon ueF
tenance an expression which at once ex-
planned the situation. She looked as
no woman ever does except when she's
either sea sick or in love. A honeymoon
smile of the most aggravated type
transformed her rather comely face into
the familiar mask of imbecility; and
not even the blank stare with which he
met her upturned eyes, moved her to
modify single detail of her ridiculous
grimace.
''She must be crazy, too" he thought,
with a shudder; unconsciously mold
ing the phrase of his idea to fit the pop
ular Judgment regarding his own
mental condition. "Poor girl; her dis
appointment has turned her brain"
She steered him into a side street;
and just as he was trying to think of a
delicate way in which he could urge her
to discontinue looking at him in that
disquieting fashion, she paused before a
gate and said:
This is the minister's house, the
Rev Mr.. Knowles, the man who married
US. you KNOW"

his arm and leaned heavily upon him,
saying:

Lawrence calamity undertook the
burden, and as they passed through tho
office he saw his acquaintance, Jimmy,
the reporter, watching him narrowly.
Two policemen were there, too, and as
he passed them he heard one of them
say:
HE does look like confounded luna
tic, for a fact.''

A sunday in Vermont.

II is pleasant to know that this village
and its churches are appreciated by the
visitors who come here. We clip the fol-
lowing from the Boston Waterman;

me enjoying the Inequalities OF a charm
ing Episcopalian family in West Ran

gladly gone with my friends to theiI
church. On this Sunday they accompan-
led me to the Baptist church. The build
ing is exceptional attractive, the congre-
CATION good and intelligent and the sing
ing by a volunteer choir better than good
The minister, Rev. James A. Pierce, is q
man of thirty to forty years OF age
and is in his third pastorate. He reminds
me in face and bearing OF DIR. Elder of
New York. A year ago he was so serious
ly injured that he cannot yet stand while
preaching. He sat through the entire ser
vice, bis crutch and cane lying at his feet
But do declare that all was done with
such marvellous grace and dignity that il
seemed 10 me for the time that all preach
ers should sit instead of stand. Perhaps
one ought not to speak OF the public pray
ers of ministers, but must make mention
Of the prayer Of this man, so reverential
it was and rich and helpful. The sermon
was given without notes. The preacher
sat there and talked to us. But il was not
chatter. Ii was not bunch OF colloquial
trifies. II was pre-eminently n sermon. II
was a work of genuine and high and sa-
cred art. 1t was fresh, profound, tender,
stimulating, helpful. Would that all pas
tors could preach such sermons. Can |
ever preach such an one? l say without
a moments hesitation that il was in ali
respects equal to the best that l have ever
heard. The Lord be praised for
such preachers.
