sheets show advances In freights.
They submitted to JOURNAL writer

possible.

capped from cultivation. Seeds are album
dant in all species and terminate very
freely. They are about the size and shape
of those of the tomato. and the internal
structure of the fruit resembles that vege-
table. Thefavor is quite peculiar and pro-
nounced and at first not always liked. TO
the taste the fruit is a pleasant acid. The
crop usually ripens in the late summer, al
though some varieties bear fruit during the
entire year. All kinds are said to grow
from cuttings. The three following named
species have been quite we'll established In
Florida and to some extent In California;
Psidium guava, known also as the com
mon guava," apple guava" and pear
glava," is a native Of the West Indies and
very tender. p. cattleyanun, or straw
berry guava," Is q native of Brazil and
much more hardy species. p. lucidum, or
mexican guava,n In Florida Is improperly
called yellow cattly guava." The straw
berry guavo illustrated in the cut is small
and in color dull red, with numerous
brown dots on the slightly rougheped and
not glossy surface The flavor Is pleasant.

bling the strawberry.
The guava jelly, which is known the
world over as one of the most delicious OF
ali conserves, is made chiefly from the apple
or pear guava. However, jelly of excellent
quality can be made from any species OF
this genus. The fruit is also eaten fresh
with sugar and cream, or preserved and
canned as are other fruits.

AN EMPIRE INTERIOR.

Design by Which One May Plan Room
ola Period Now Much Affected.
AT the present time many reproductions
Of empire furniture are made to meet a
passing fashion. Mahogany was the wood
most in favor for furniture during the I'M
perial period, and its fine, richly colored
surface. susceptible as 1t is Of such q beau
tiful polish, affords an excellent back
ground to the finely chased bronze gilt
mounts, and its varied figuring assists In a
great measure to relieve the dignity Of this
style from oppressiveness. But In the case
Of the old chairs. although the mahogany
gave them certain attractiveness, it did
not succeed, even with the help Of rich silk
coverings and exquisitely chased mounts,
to altogether free them from that stiffness
and constraint which appears to be insep-
arabic from the classic. designs on which
empire styles were modelled.
A bedroom with draperies very similar to
those shown on the walls, window and bed
IN the accompanying cut was one Of suit
Of apartments prepared by Napoleon's or
ders at the time when he was about to
realize his dream of founding dynasty.
The bedstead In the drawing contains the
essential characteristics Of an old design
from which 1t Is taken. 1t should be made
Of rich colored Spanish mahogany, with
bronze gilt mounts, TO match the other fur
niture in the room. The crown, from which
the bed drapery hangs, should be entirely
covered with material trimmed with braids
and embroidery. The window drapertes
are thrown over covered pole wrapped
with silk cord. The draperies will look
most characteristic If made OF self colored
materials with embroidered borders.

OF the influence of the recent earthquakes
in northern italy, M. Goiran has observed
that they were apparently followed by q
speedier termination Of seeds, more rapid
growth Of the young plants, more luxu-

lands, vineyards and copses and more
distinct greenness of foliage. He ascribes
these results not to the earthquakes direct

fertilizing matters in the soil which suffered
a sort of trituration from them and to an

some conditions earthquakes seemed to
have an unfavorable influence on vegeta-

result of long droughts that accompanied
them ------

ALCOHOL ID Cleaning Silver.

Silversmiths sometimes advise that rouge
be used in cleaning silver, and there are
number Of excellent cleaning preparations
and soaps on the market, but after all the
old fashioned whiting Of our grandmothers'
days is invariably efficient and absolutely
harmless. It must, however, be extremely
fine and acts best when moistened with
ammonia or alcohol. Some persons OF ex-
perience in cleaning silver say that 1t does
not tarnish again SO soon when cleaned
with alcohol and whiting as 1t does when
some other preparations are used.
