Points About. Peru.

Mr.. William X. Grace, cX-Mayor of
New York, has been writing for publica-
ton, and this is what he pcnncd of Peru:
'l.et us take n peep ut Peru. our lively
southern sister. Blessed with II climate
almost perfect, where the hcliotrope
grows wild on the hillsidcs and flowers
bloom all the year round, there is no more
kindly, hosptablc people on earth. Lima,
the capital, is renowned for the beauty
and grace of lis ludics, and the children
are like animated Christmas cards There
is no jealousy OF the foreigner. He is
welcomed, entertained and treated kindly
and fairly by the Government and the
people. Life in Peru is of Il uuictcr,
gentlcr character than us we know il in
the hurry and rush of our business eager
ness, and one who lived among them and
learned to appreciate their lovablc quail
ties will often send back grateful
glance of rctrospcction.
"Among the Anglo Saxon dwcllcrs in
Peru Santa Claus is not forgotten, and
the approach of Christmas is looked for.
ward to with eager expectation in many
n childish heart. The fablcd shoe of the
ancient dame, with her numerous progeny !;
the glass slipper of Cinderella, and the
trials and triumphs of the Sleeping
Beauty, are as familiar to them as to our
little ones. Perhaps some who may read
these lines may remember a dozen years
ago to have seen the parlors of one of the
leading foreign families in Lima filed
with delighted audience to witness the
debut of the daughter of the house MS
Cinderella, the beautiful child bearing
herself with as perfect lf-posscssion us
the bride of the prince, rs she aftcrward
showed when, mt the drawing room of
her Majesty in London, she bowed before
the Queen, herself the fairest among them
all.
'As the season rolls Oh apace and the
sacred anniversary draws nigh, one of the
largest rooms in the Peruvian house is
set apart and Il stage improvised, on
which is built up, in varying degrees Of
detail according TO the ability of the
family, a representation of the scene at
Bethlehem, with all its surroundings
faithfully shown. In the distance are the
shepherds watching their flocks, the wise
men of the East, in royal robes, bringing
gifts from nfar, and in the foreground the
humble manager, with the Holy Family
grouped around the cradle, while the
star Of Bethlehem shines brightly in the
sky above. Gold, silver and jewels are
lavished on the decoration of the scene,
days are devoted to pcrfccting its smallest
detail, and on Christmas Eve, and for
days thereafter, friends and visitors arc
admitted to gaze and admire"

SUGGESTIONS on rEAn.iuowtxo

Ono of the great edible luxurics Of life
is supply OF irstratn pears properly
ripcncd, and this luxury which con
duccs to good health, than which nothing
is more desirable. Furthermore, ii good
pcarorcharl isa delightful source of both
employment and profit. A single tree
often yields more profit with less labor
than half-acrc of grain.
But to gel bearing orc lard Of choice
pears requires time, good judgment and
skillful treatment. There is no great
amount Of hard labor required, after the
ground has been properly prepared and
the trees planted, but the right thing
must be done ut the right time; hen when
the herring time comes, there is 'ssnnp'
for the owner.
In preparing IL pear orchard, we would
be particular in having the ground thor
oHshly SUBSIDIZED as deep rs the holes in
which the trees are to be set, so there
would be no bnsins under the trcc-roots
for holding water: and we would set
standards only half us far apart-say
about fifteen fect--ns would he proper for
standard orchard trees when in bcaying
and then would put dwarls between
these.
The object Of this plan is to get pears
as soon us possible. from the dwarfs,
which come into bearing much sooner
than standards; then root the dwarfs out
rs they get old and the standards require
the space. When the standards become
OF bearing age, root out the lenst desirable
of these. In case of there being trees
valuable enough to preserve. left too close
together, remove alternate ones in win
ter, with II ball of earth adhcrils to the
roots of each to so:no desirable place. -

DAINTY pl;ssl:i,rs.

There are delicate desserts which aro,
used FOR dinners, aud are equally sitablel
to serve with cake III the evening. Fancy
jcllics, Bavariau creams, ice creams and
water ices come under this head A b.
va.ian cream requires rich cream which
can DO beaten stiff, gclatinc and pre-

are those Favored with fruit. A strawberry,

has been soaked iii cold water for two
hours and melted i'll II half -cup Of boiling

strawberry juice must he just thick
enough when added to the cream to unto

not thick enough to scpnrntc from tho

cooks are careless, nnd fail to make tho
Bavarian creams smooth and perfect. A.

PALM Oil,

Palm oil is the product of the fruit OF
the oil palm tree of Guinea. The fruit
grows i'll clusters on top CT the tree, which
il about thirty -eet high, and resembles a
chestnut. The oil is extracted by boiling
the pulpy and fibrous mass around tho
central nut, and is used in making soap
and candles. The fruits arc harvested in
April. The oil of Arachis, which is
equally important in commerce, is from
the nut of the Arachis (peanuD, thou

rope every year to be made up into
SOLVE OIL" 1t is tho fruit of annual
creeping plant, and ripens in July and

made into soap. Another underground
nut affords a white, hard butter, richer
than butter from the COW, which bas the
further advantage of remaining fresh fol
whole year without being sailed. Only
limited quantities of this product have as
yet come into the market. The native

REMOVING OLD nxpGNs.

A great many farmers tolerate hedges
where they are no longer needed. because
of tho supposed great labor and difficulty
required to get them out of the way. If
cut down they sprout again, and their
roots are too strong to admit OF blowing
them up. To dig them out seems there
fore the Only remedy and this involves such
heavy expense that we can harlii wonder
if the job is often indefinitely post poncd.
Bat there is II much easier way. Durin.
the winter cut the hedges rs close To the
ground us is possible, and let the hedge
lie, making II narrow and compact row
over the roots. Next spring new sprouts
will start. and as soon ms these are in full
leaf, pile on II little straw and burn ii .
The hedge cut last winter will with very
little help burn, and with ii destroy the
new growth. The next season The roots
will he roitcd sufficiently 10 c-ablc II
gcod team with strong pillow to cut them
up and turn over the soil. II is then
planted with potntocS, for which the
mixture of ashes aud rotten sod makes mn
admirable preparation. SO inexpensive
is this method that often the first crop of
potatoes on the ground redeemed from
waste will pay all the cost, -.lmerjcah
