A Vegetable Pepsin.

The useful properties of the papaw
plant have long been known to the vari-
Gus natives, and have been taken advan-
tagc of by them, as can be seen by refer
ence to the works of travellers, who can
themselves vouch for the accuracy of the
ACCOUNTS they narrate. Thus Drury, in
''The United Plants of India" states
that old hogs and poultry which are fed
upon the leaves aud fruit, however tough
the meat they afford might otherwise be,
are thus rendered perfectly tender and
good, if eaten as soon as killed. Browne,
too, in his Natural History of Jamaica, -
says that meat becomes tender after being
washed with water to which the juice of
the papaw tree has been added; and il
left in such water ten minutes, it will fall
from the spit while roasting, or separate
into shreds while boiling.
In his "IIistory of Barbados" Griffith
Hughes mentions that the juice of the
papsw tree is of so penetrating a natare
that, if the unripe peeled fruit be boiled
with the toughest old salt meat, it quick
ly makes it soft and tender. Kersten also
tells us that boiling meat with the juice
of the papaw is quite common thing in
Quito. Captain S. p. Oliver, writing in
Nature, July 10, 1879, says: 'In Maur-
titus, where we lived principally on ra-
ton beef cut from the tough flesh of the
Malsgasy oxen, we were in the habit OF
hanging the ration under the leaves them
selves; and if we were in hurry for a
very tender piece of fillct, our cook would
wrap up the undercut of the sirloin in
the leaves, when the newly killed meat
would be as tender as if it had been hung
for considerable time. Chambers
