THE SOUTHERN WATER
MELON.

The praises of the watermelon
have off been sung in both prose
and poetry, and mere mention OF
the delicious, jnicy fruit is enough
to bring a smile of delight to the
face of those who knew it, that is
aroused by no other gift of nature.
But it remained for Marx Twain
to pay to the southern watermelon
the crowning tribute, to which y
single word added would be SD
perHuos. As the watermelon ses
son is now at hand, we deem il
most appropriate to quote hi'
description, which he gives ns in
"Pudd'nhead Wilson's Calender"
now running in the Century Mag
zine. 1t is as follows:
1.-THE true Southern watermelon
is a boon apart, and not to be men
TONED with commOner things. L
is chief of this worlds luxuries,
king by the grace of God over al
tho fruits of the earth. When one
hes tasted it, he knows what the
angels eat. 1t Was not Southern
watermelon that Eve took; W.
know it, because she repented. y

ILLUSTRATIVE OF Brownsville.

a late issue of the HERALD an ad
veriisement of 8 ca g grower Offer
ing molasses by the barrel at five
cents per gallon ia Mexican money
which is about three cents in Amer
can money.-Brcvil!e Bee.
The fact mentioned by our esteem
ed contemporary is illustrative OF
more than Brownsville's great need
OF a railroad, it also illustrates the
fertility and productiveness of the
soil of the lower Rio Grsnde val
leg. When molasses can be made
in such abundance as to be sold al
3 cents per gallon, after sll the
sugar that can be taken by the
home market is manufactured, il
proves that with a railroad to ship
these commodities abroad. this re
giou will rival Southern Louisiana
in the sugar industry.

ADVANCES In SCIENCE.
The Natural Function of Diges-
ton at last Perfectly Initiated

We cannot go beyond a certain point In imita-
tionof natures handiwork. We have never been
able to give life to artificial eyes, limbs, etc.
We can initiate processes, when we under
stand them. Till a short time ago scientists
thought that the stomach digested all our
food. Under this erroneous impression pep
sin was always prescribed for indigestion.
Now we know positively that the stomach
digests only albumenous foods (meat, eggs
cheese, etc.,, and that pepsin only attacks
albumens.
Scientists discovered the ferments and the
process by which starch (our most important
food is digested, and Paskola was fhe result
of their discoveries.
To aid weak digestion starch food must
be cooked and digested before IL enters the
mouth. The best way of doing this is en-
bodied in Paskola.
The free vegetable ferments in Paskols aid
in the digestion of other foods and relieve all
symptoms of indigestion almost Immediate
ly.
Paskola is not a medicine but simply a pure
natural starch food naturally pre-digested.
1t permanently cures where medicine gives
only temporary relief.
What it will do for dyspeptics, anemics
consumptives and all people suffering from
thinness, mall nutrition and wasting diseases
is explained fully in a 16-page pamphlet
which will be sent free on request

Curious resemblances in Nature
start with the cocoanut, in many re-
spects like the human skull and al
most a facsimile of the monkeys.
The meat of the English walnut is al
most a copy of the human brain;
plums and black cherries like the HUI
man eye, almonds like the human
nose, and an unopened oyster and
shell perfect likeness of the human
ear. The shape of mans body may
be traced in the mammoth squash,
the open hand in growing scrub will
lows and celery, the human heart in
German turnips and egg plant, and
dozens of the mechanical inventions
of the present day to patterns furn-
ished by Nature. Thus, the hog sug-
gested the pillow, the butterfly the
door hinge, the frog stool the umbrel-
la, the duck the ship, and the fungus
growth on trees the bracket.

And that is the thing that upsets met fills

Ny Joe had oughter been Betsy, and Betsy

Why, Joe, he amt good for his salt, sir. He
alters gives up to his dreams.
He thinks he's born Mr.. Shakespeare, and
spoils good white paper by reams.
But Betsy's as sane as the keeper who looks
arter folks what is mad
She's got solid sense,h has my Betsy, the solid
est ever was had.
/ haven't the slightest idee, sir, just how the
thing came to be so,
But Joe he had ought to have been Betsy, and
Betsy she'd ought to have been Joe.
That gal she will go to the medder, an toss
up the hay like man;
She'll work in the and the shadder as
hard. sir, as ever she can;
But Joe he'll go out there and dawdle. At
dawd1in' he's really A one
But that amt the thing for daughter, nor
that amt the hing for a son.
AM that's why set here a sighin', and that's
why my eyes overflow:
NV Joe he'd oughter been Betsy, and Betsy
she'd oughter been Joe.
1 don't mind a havin' my home, sir, the home

1 must say I like to listen to verses of spring

But what I don't like to see, sir, an what

Is the pottery writ by q boy, sir, an all the
hay tossed by girl.
It seems to me sort of outrageous, sort of
terrible blow,
That Joe should oughter be Betsy, and Betsy
should oughter be Joe;
Because l have always told Mandy-my wife,
sir; splendid one, too
That work thatis fittin' for women amt httin'

I've sort of a twitted the lady on weakness O.

And havin' the thing turned round, sir, 3 the
