TWO RARE FRUITS.

Two fruits from the West Indies that are seldom
seen in these markets were being offered for sale yes
terlay at a fruit store In Fuon-st one of these was
the sours0p, large yellowish green fruit with spikes
on the outer skin 1t is filled with white pulPy
fibre and sweet juice, which is, however. somewhat
acrld The pulp is generally soaked in slightly
sweetened water. When this is drawn of it makes a
pleasant and cooling drink. The other fruit is the
cashew There are two varieties of this fruit, one a
brilliant red the other yellow. The peculiarly Of
II is that It's seed which is kidney shaped, hangs at
the end of the fruit The fruit itself is filed with
nleasant stringent mice much used In making the
various punches Of the West Indies. The nut when
roasted Is much priced for the dellcacy of It's flavor
Both these fruits are peculiar to the West Indies.
