looking glass, SO that the extent OF the
exhibit is apparently augmented. Ben
Davis. Janet, Winesap and Rome
Beauty apples in long and glowing
rows attract much comment. The first
fresh berries were also seen in the IL
linois section. Iowa, Wisconsin and
Maine show attractive fruits in long
unbrolxen lines.
Oregon has surprisingly large and
snowy exhibit. The long tables are
made of thirty-two kinds of native
woods, and are admirably designed for
displaying large and very fine col
lection of fruits in jars, because they
are unbrolen by columns or partitions.
Washington and Colorado occupy adj
joining sections, and the former has
one of the best displays in the entire
building. Idaho, the so-called ssbaby-
state,'' is, judging by it's products, a
remarkable infant, precocious to de-
gree and wonderfully well grown
some might think even overgrown, ii
the great sizes of the fruits are to be
accepted as criterions. There are
plenty of blue pearnlain apples that
weighed from eighteen to twenty
three ounces when picked, and, as a
curiosity. a plate Of apples of the crop
of 1891 is shown. All of the fruit
shown was grown by irrigation, and
most of it is from the fertile Snake
river valley.
The New York state fruit exhibit is
marked by two unique features that
set it apart from all others. First, it
is the only state that has omitted anti
septically -preserved fruit from It's col
lection. Everything shown in jars
(Which is very little) is regularly pre-
served in sugar, and is edible. The
second feature-frst in order of inpor-
tance-is the marked educational char
acter given the display by adding to
the name cards Of the most desirable
varieties of apples concise statement
of their merits, habits and needs.
At the north end Of the northwest
curtain one passes into the Florida
section through snowy arch built of
golden russell orange, from which de-
ponds a deep fringe of soft gray south
ern moss, while above and beyond it
rise the great leaves of a cocoanut tree.
1t makes pleasing picture, but the
superintendent Of the display is far
from satisfied, owing to some accident
having prevented the arrival of the
more brilliant Indian river oranges
that were to have been used in the
arch. Among the specialties shown in
this exhibit are guavas in jars, guava
jelly and guava sirup. The last is said
to be delicious for All Of the purposes
to which fruit sirups are commonly put.
as well as a substitute for maple sirup.

UNION MUTUAL LIFE
INSURANCE COMPANY.

The imperative need of the protection
afforded by Life Insurance is made man
ifest every day. Of late, the grim spec
tire Death has stallzed abroad in it's most
hideous forms: accidents Of the most ter
rible character-some resulting from nat
ural forces, others from the carelessness
of man-have been recorded day by day.
Immunity has been accorded to none;
neither age, youth nor status has claimed
exemption-the old and the young, the
rich and the poor, have alike fallen be-
fore the scythe of Deaths avenging
angel. 1t is this uncertainty of life-the
converse of deaths certainty-that caus-
es those who reflect to avail themselves
of the beneficence of Life Insurance.
When death in its terrible swiftness en-
tiers household, the pangs of the suffer-
ing bereaved are sufficiently acute with
out being added to by any prospective
view of penury and want.
Life Insurance is duty; one of the
most sacred attaching to any bread-win-
ner, and terrible responsibility rests
upon the shoulders of those who are in
any way neglectful in this connection.
INSURANCE PROTECTION CONSE-
QUENT UPON DEATH BY DISEASE

BY POLICIES OF LIFE INSURANCE.
Your home company-the Union Mu-
tual-issues policies than which none are
more liberal; they are also of the most
varied character, with premiums as low

sistent with the absolute security they

we all started Talong up the road towards
This ypoman,s house, who had followed
me with her guitar. She and the man
nlayed and sang all the time as we
walked along. The scene would have
been funny if we had not been expecting
AIeck to die So we did not think any
thing about the music and the rum,
Init INST about savingsthis boys life. = =
"When we reached the house he kept
IN SINGING and dancing. The tenderness
Of mnsic had caught him. He did not
know what he was doing, but finally he
grew tired and sat down half exhausted,
but they kept on playing just the same,
and | kept on rubbing the leg all the
time with the medicine. Lots of folks
was half full Of natives, for tarantula
bite is soon known of all round. Every
one who could play or sing helped to
keep the boy awake, and he would come
to, but was not in It,
& All night long that guitar and those
songs never stopped, and the play was
kept ND until the next day, when Aleck
and me started nome Every house
came to along the road | would stop at
and get some one to play for him, il any
one could. We found home after time,
and the folks around would come in and
Dlay for Aleck until he recovered and
there was no danger of his going to sleep
again. I have heard of other cases being
cured just as this one was, but this was
the only one | ever saw.
"Music and the poison of the ground
spider are the only things that will cure
the bite of the tarantula. They are
hardly ever seen away from their holes
in the ground, but sometimes they crawl
in the banana punches and become dan
gerous when the fruit is cut. My chum
never hunted them again after he was
stung, but | did until went to sea as a
cabin boy. I don't want any more OF

the West Indies and work at odd JOBS
and hunt tarantulaS than to sail before
the mast.
This bright negro boy thus went on
with phases of his races life in the
tropics with an intelligence that was re-
markable for one of his age. AS he lay
prone upon the ground and talked fluent
IL, alternately in Spanish and English,
it was easy to discover that the tarantula
hunter and cabin boy on a vessel was a
remarkable lad for oneNof his age. In
telling his story it is not necessary to use
the negro dialect, for you could hardly
discover a trace Of it in his conversation.
He described with great minuteness the
Bay of st. Thomas and talked about the
different vessels of the British navy with
a fuency that would have done credit
to man.
1t was a charming bit of talk with this
hum BILE black boy to see with what Ter
vor his mind would now and then turn
back to his early home, the scenes which
are every day going ON there, and those
of his childhood before he went to be

TIE Los ANGELES ORANGE TOWER.

Two fruits are shown that. are grown
in no other state in the union-pine-
apples and cocoanuts. both very valua-
BILE commercially. The eocoanut tree
thrives in the southern half of the
peninsula part of the state only, while
the pine is successfully grown consid-
erably farther north, the cocoa bs-
ing much more sensible to cold
than the pine, while it, in turn,
is far more susceptible to in
jury from a low temperature than the
orange. The pineapple is propagated
by setting out the ofshoots that stand
defensively around the sipened fruits.
Each plant is good for three pines
one the first year and two the second
and last year Of it's existence. The top
of the cocoa tree on exhibition is from
Lake Worth. It's great leaves, from
twenty to twenty-five feet in length,
and it's cluster of nuts in their thick
green cases or huslss, are novelty to
the majority of visitors. AS the stump
of the same tree is shown. as well as
nuts throwing out roots and sprouts,
one gains an insight into the habits
and appearance of the cocoanut plant.
The stump is about twenty-four inches
il diameter, the entire tree some sixty
feet in height and it's age is given by
the state representative as thirteen
years. He is also the authority for the
following facts: The cocoa bears
fruit at the age of six years and pro-
duces from three to four hundred nuts
every year. The nuts are planted in
rather shallow holes and lightly COW
cred. They soon sprout, two of the

FRUITS OF ALL KINDS.
The Pathological Exhibit in the
Horticultural Building.
Popular with An Glasses of visiters-The
Beautiful Los Angeles Orange Tower
PineappIes and Cocoanuts Raised
in the State of Florida.
Especial Worlds Fair Letter.


That portion of the Horticultural
building which is devoted to the pomo-
logical exhibit has always attracted
the attention of worlds fair visitors.
Many beautiful things may be seen,
but everybody is willing to concede
that the Los Angeles tower, IS feet
high and covered entirely with
oranges, is the center of attraction.
There are 1888 oranges in this monu-
ment. An original and pleasing
feature of this design is the border OF
small branches of the equally famous
California redwood, which marks the
horizontal angles of the base with
dark green lines. At the opposite end
of the wing a table 50 feet long snd
81 feet wide, the largest In the build
ing. is occupied by special exhibits
from San Bernardino and San Diego
counties and by the second display of
Los Angeles county, a liberty bell 6
feet in diameter and 81 feet high,
made of covering of gray moss, gath
cred from forest trees along the coast
near Santa Barbara. The decorative
effect of the frame Is increased by the
use of pretty little tangerines set on
at intervals like jeweled nail heads,
half buried in the moss. The bell is
surrounded by large exhibit of fresh
citrus fruits in their seasons. Adjoin-
ing the bell on one side is the San
Diego design, which includes large
pyramid of oranges, smaller one of
large and perfect grape fruits and
other patterns worked out with the
various fruits.
A correspondence of American Garden
ing, AN authority on every thing pertain
ing to fruit growing, considers the dis
plays of preserved pomaceous, stone and
small fruits made by states from Maine,
to California and by several Canadian
provinces bewildering. This is partly
due to their seeming similarity, and,
again to finding such variety and ex-,,
cellence in climates and locations that,
one has learned to think of as rich in

other lines but poor ia fruits. But If
there has heretofore been in our minds
O connection between Canada and furs
and between Oregon and salmon we
shall have to recast our minds to meet
the conditions in those and other
places, as proved by the array of at
tractive edible fruits shown at the ex-
position. In fresh or green fruits the
exhibits are also large. Ontario shows
555 plates of fresh applesof 50 varieties.
The exhibits of stored fruits are also
large and important from other prov
inees-Nova Scotia, Quebec and Prince,
Edwards Island.
Missouri probably has the prettiest
fixtures in the hall, but here, too, the
fruit Is the exhibit. The woodwork is
all pale ivory, .piqued out with gold.
A better setting for the glowing or
delicate tints of the fruit could not be
found. Some tiny jars, each holding
few specimens of small fruits, are par
sioularay pleasing. All the fruit shown
In this section was grown in Howell
county, ON the southern slope of the
Ozark mountains, In the heart of the
Missouri fruit belt, where the red vol
canic soil is said to impart rich color
ing and fine flavor to both peaches and
apples. Ben Davis is the leading apple
in the exhibit, and 1t is much finer than
the same variety grown in the north
eastern states. Peaches of several va
rieties-not less than a dozen-bear
two crops each year. The first ripens
in July, and consists of large and hand
some fruit: the second ripens late in
September, and is as much better IN
flavor asst is smaller in size. The only
advantage claimed for the double crop
lies in the fact that as soon rs the sec
ond crop begins to ripen it is chosen
for home consumption by the en-
pioyes. who are peach epicures. and
the big late market peaches with far
finer compilations are unmolested.
Illinois was late In getting her ex-.
hibit under way, owing to the delay in
receiving an appropriation. The ex-
hibit is now an attractive one, how
ever, and it is also large. The tables.
ar shelves are entirely covered with.
