Superiority of American Fruit.

On the subject of fruit growing in
America, Mr.. de Vilmorin, famous
French pomoiogist, said: 'tIt is evil
dent that much attention is being
given, and with handsome pecuniary
results, to the growing of fruit in this
country, but more especially in the
State of California. The display of
fruit at the Worlds Fair after August
and continuing to the close of the Ex-
position was probably the finest and
most extensive and varied that was
ever brought together. l find that
great deal of attention is being given
to the subject in each State, not only
by private independent growers, but
by the local horticultural and agricul-
tural organizations, and by the aid of
the experimental stations supported
by the different States and by the Ma
tional Government. Through this sys-
tematic organization a comparative
study of the fruit developed and the
adaptability of particular varieties to
particular States and sections of the
country are intelligently determined.
With this study of the influence of To-
cal conditions is associated investi9a-
tion as to the particular insects most
destructive to different species, and
much knowledge is gained of valua-
BILE nature with regard to fungus dis
eases, so that fruit-growers are famil-
lar with all the recent appliances
which science has discovered to aid
them against their enemies. In con-
clusion, l may say that more attention
seems to be paid and to better pur.
pose to fruit-growing in this country
than in most European countries. The
apples, peaches and grapes exhibited
by the different States at the Worlds
Fair and renewed by daily contribu-
tions from exhibitors, was one of the
striking features of the conduct OF
that department. Large consignments
of fruit were sent every morning from
different States, 30 that the specimens
should be kept fresh all the time, and
their display gave, not only proofs of
successful cultivation, but of enter
prise and organization which it would
not be possible to match in any other
part of the world" New York
Tribune.

WISE WORDS.

Where there are no birds the bat
will be king.
The collector of mummies will in
time be one.
The ignorant are never defeated in
any argument.
When the sense of shame is lost adj
vancement ceases.
Genius hears one individual and then
compsshends ten.
With mote in the eye one cannot
see the HimalayAs.
Before trying horseback one should
learn to ride on oxen.
Negligence looks at the battlefield,
then makes its arrows.
Give to the hero the jewelled sword;
to the beauty, perfume.
Be not lenient to your own faults
keep your pardon for others.
A 1000-foot embankment will be
broken by the hole of an ant.
Who steals goods is called thief;
who steals dominions ruler.
The fish which escapes from the
hook seems always the largest.
The bat, hanging upside down,
laughs at the topsy-turvey world.
Society, more a stepmother than a
mother, adores the children no hatter
her vanity.
Seeking information is a moments
shame; but not to learn is surely a
lasting shame.
He who does not bestride success
and grasp it firmly by the name let's
fortune escape.
Next to the pleasure of admiring the
woman we love is that of seeing her
admired by others.
Sit in quite and consider your own
faults; do not spend your time in dis
cussing those of others.
II the water be too pure fish cannot
live in it; if people be too exacting
fellow beings cannot stand beside
them.
If the mind is clear even in a dark
room there will be n radiance; if the
thought is dark. at MONDAY there will
be demons.

A Ruined Wedding Cake

An English gentleman residing in
Calcutta has brough an action against
firm of Paris pastry cooks and con.
fectioners under rather interesting cir.
cumstances. The plaintiff was about
to be married, and ordered what has
been called phenomenal wedding cake
from the defendants. A sum of $120
was paid down for the cake on deliv-
cry. The colossal and expensive arti.
Gle of confectionery was packed by the
plaintiffs order, and he took it with
him to Calcutta. On opening the case
containing the cake when he arrived
in India the Englishman found that he
had literally nothing but a shs peless
mass of crumbs. The splendid gateau
had been hopelessly bruised and broken
during the voyage. An action was
then brought against the Paris firm
for sum of $135, which included, be-
sides the price paid for the cake, the
cost of packing and transport. The
defendants maintained before the Paris
tribunal of commerce that they had nc
more responsibility after they had de-
livered over the cake to the person
who ordered it. 1t was true that they
recommended packer, but that ex
pert acted under the orders of another
individual, who had been selected by
the plaintiff to superintend the opera
ton. The tribunal decided in favor
of the defendants. Paris Letter.
