A BRAZILIAN LUXURY.
Apt to Kill If Eaten and to Burn


Apt to Kill If Eaten and to Burn II
Handled, Yet Very Refreshing.
A reporter found himself in crowd that
stood staring into fruit store window the
other day. In the window, hanging by q
string, was something that looked like big
Bartlett pear, except that its color was deep
red 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 reporter asked the dealer:
What kind of pear is thatm
"lt's no kind Of pear" replied the fruit
man. "It's Brazilian caiu.n
ooh, indeed ~ said the reporter.
Eyes, replied the dealer, that's caju and
it's the only one in the city l guess. It's a
curious kind of fruit, too, for while it is one
of the most delightfully."- cool and refreshing of
delicacies it will make you deathly sick, and
maybe kill you, if you eat it. The Brazilian
ca u wasn't made to bs eaten. You have to
drink it to properly enjoy it."
"Ahp said the reporter. "What are the
habits of this peculiar fruits"
"Well," said the custodian of the caiu,
that one in the window is what they call
garden caju because it is a cultivated one,
but it grows wild, very wild They make
claret wine of the wild caju down in Brazil
that the natives 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. The ways of the caju are in
no way influenced by its color, though A
red one can't discount "A pink one and yell
low one is as much of n thoroughbred as
either of the others. The pulp of the most
luscious orange isn't half rs tempting as the
inside of the caju, but the caiu pulp is poison.
Juice is what the caiu is for. I'll bet that
red one yondsr has more than n 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 Brazilian sucks the
juice out of "A caju every morning before
breakfast
what does the caju wear that rosette for
on its big endfn asked the reporter.
"Well, that isn't exactly a rosette," replied
the fruit dealer, "butit looks like one, doesn't
iti 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 in
side the sucking of IA caju would be followed
10y the instant and complete humiliation Of
the suckers stomach. You can't see the
seeds, because they are covered up by pulp,
That pulp has juice of IS own, and wher-
ever it happens to touch your flesh big
blister will rise up and burrow itself into the
flesh like the burning head of a parlor match
They don't seem To mind 1t down in Brazil,
though"
DO YOU intend to Introduce the ca ia in
our markets. asked the reporter.
"Wcll, we had thought of it some" said
the fruit dealer, but have an idea that we
can't hope to make a luxury popular up hero

Farmers Want the sub-Treasury.


President Polk, of the National
Farmers and Laborers' Union, and
DIR. G. w. McCune, of the Economist,
and chairman of the National Ali.
ance Committee on legislation, APP
peared before the Senate committee
on Agriculture Tuesday, delivering
long arguments in favor of Senator
Vance's bill known as the sub-treas-
ury proposition, formulated by the
Farmers Convention at st. Louis
last December. This bill proposes
the establishment of government
warehouses throughout the country,
in which farmers may store their pro-
duce, such as wheat, corn, tobacco,
cotton, etc, and the government to
issue notes on the deposit of the pro-
duce at or u per cent. interest. DR..
McCune addressed himself to the
merits and detail workings of the
warehouse system.
lCSluCiIb i YIN hSNOltd HIS dISu-
ment to the depression in agricul-
ture and the necessity for immediate
relief.
He sketched the decline in agricul-
tural values in the face of marvellous
progress and development of other
industries and interests during the
past two decades, and insisted that
something should be done for the
farmer. He charged fault upon the
financial system of the government,
which had resulted in high-priced
money and lOW-priced products. The
remedy, Col. Polk suggested, was
three,iold:
First-Restore silver to its dignity
and place as money metal, with all
the rights of coinage and all the
qualities of legal tender which gold
possesses.
Second-Issue sufficient amounts
of currency direct to the people at
low rate of interest to meet the legit-
innate demands of the business OF
the country, and which shall be
legal tender for all debts, public and
private.
Third-Secure to such issues equal
dignity with the money metals by
basing it on real, tangible, substan-
tial values.

THE GUBERNAToRIAL CONTEST.
Some Sensible Views by a Farmer Elk
pressing the Sentiments ofthe People.

pressing the Sentiments ofthe People.
To the Tobacco Leaf-Cnronicle.
1t does not take very wise man
to see that, by the time the conven-
ton meets, that there will be con-
siderable amount of bitterness and
enmity existing between the pamer-
Gus advocates Of the many self-im-
posed candidates for governor and
who is to be blamed for this state of
affairs? We say that the press will
come in for big slice, and it will
see when the convention assemblies
that all the buncobe that they have
been dealing out for the farmers has
awaited nothing. Each paper claims
for its candidate that he is entirely
in the interest of the farmers and
understands better than any other
candidate the wishes and wants of
the farmers. Now a large majority
of the farmers of the State are Demo
Gratis and they know that there are
other interests to be cared for as well
as the farmers interests, hence they
want no partisan as chief executive
of the State. The farmers want a
man for governor whose views are
liberal and expansive enough to look
after and guard the interest of the
masses. There may be such timber
among the present aspirants, so far as
l know, but as the saying goes they
will have been worn to fragile by
the 10th of July, and | am going to
venture half million (Which was
not won on Cleveland's last race)
that neither of the present agricul-
tural candidates will receive the
nomination, but the convention,
which will, in my opinion, be of
intelligence largely composed of the
best and most intelligent farmers of
the State, take up some able and
worthy man who has not been
paraded before the people as being
the only man in the State fit for gov

DAY DAWN.

The first low fluttering breath of Weakening day
Stirs the wide air Thin clouds of peariy have
Float slowly Ger the sky 20 meet the rays
OF the unrisen sun; whose faint beams play
Among the dropping stars, kissing away
Their winning eyes TO slumber. From the gaze
Like snow wreaths at approach of vernal days,
The moons pale circlet melts into the gray;
Glad ocean quivers to the gentle CLEANS
OF rosy light that touch his glorious brow
And murmurs Joy with all his thousand
strains;
And earth S fair face is Tiantling with glow,
Like youthful beauty in its changeful hue,
When slumbers rich with Dreams are bidding
her adieu.

An English tourist was stopping at one
Of the Kansas City hotels, and in a chance
conversation with reporter spoke of the
seeming inherent politeness Of the Ameri-
can gentlemen. AS a class, he said, they
were the most polite men he had met
with In any quarter Of the globe. Wher-
ever his travels took him he could always
tell an American by his affable manner. It
seemed, he said, as though every one was
born courtier, and nowhere was it more
noticeable than In the cities of the old
world. In London the Americans could
be selected in any public hall or gallery,
for they always took their hats off no mat
ter what room they entered, or II 1t
was too uncomfortable to remove head
gear 1t needed but the presence of a
lady to cause the hats to be Immediately
lifted. 1t was quite the contrary with the
Britishers; they never uncovered their
heads except under extraordinary circum-
stances.
II was going down the street in this city
but the other day." continued the
stranger, when l saw lady drop her
purse. 1t had hardly reached the sidewalk
before a little street arab grabbed it,
touched the losers arm and, with hat in
hand, said; Lady, here's your pocket
book 1t Is not only to the opposite sex
that this politeness extends, but it is re-
freshing to observe the courtesy with
which men treat each other. The Ameri-

The large and continually increasing de-
mand for paper which cannot be dupli-
Gated for fraudulent purposes, as in the
case of printed certificates of stock, bonds,
drafts, notes, commercial paper, etc., has
led to the production Of paper of special
and peculiar designs Of more or less adapta-
ton to such a purpose.
One Of the most recent and practicable
processes, as described, for securing tais
result consists in applying ink to litho-
graphic plate, Of stone or other mater al,
placing another plate, which may also be
Photographic, face to face with the first
named, rubbing the faces Of the two plates
together for time and then taking them
apart.
The ink will be distributed in such q
manner by this rubbing action that va
riegated design is impaired to the plate.
Or in case the design thus produced Is not
Of satisfactory character, the plates are
simply PLACED in contact again and the rub
bling carried on until the desired character
Of design Is brought about. This being &C.
complished the ink is allowed to become
dry, the photographic plate is subjected to
the usual treatment for photographic pur-
poses, and tie design is transferred to
the paper In TIE usual manner Of printing
from lithograp hic plates.
According to the accounts given of this
process 1t Is said to produce designs Of
such a multitudinous variety in confgura-
ton and shade that reproduction, except
from the original plate, is practically inn
possible. The impression can also be made
in any desired color.-Paper Mill.
