MINOR INDUSTRIES.
(Jamaica Cleaner, 3lSt Auyast.l

The Bishop of Rochester once asked why
some one did not start a marmalade manu-
factory in Jamaica TO supply the English
market with that commodity. 4 similar
question might be asked with regard to many
Of the fruits now wholly or comparatively
neglected in the Island. F.. instance why
is there not q manufaclory fal canning pine
apples for export to the United S,tIes where
there is a great demand for The article ?
The Bahamas owe tIleir success in pine apple
cultivation to this circumstance. Daring
last year no fewer han ~, 600 cases of pine
apples were canned, using $1,000 dozen of
the fruit. when the factory is IN full work
about 200 labonrrrs are employed daily at
the average wages of is. Cd. each. The
whole of the canned pine apples are shipped
to the United States. There are numerous
fruits in Jamaica the capabilities Of which
have never been tried. We have had MI.
merous lessons in the past that what we have
regarded as waste products are valued abroad
First the banana, then the orange, and now
the grape fruit. Why not others? 1t only re-
quires a little enterprise and a careful foster
of the public palate abroad to ensure the de-
vslopment of any particular fruit industry
There can be no doubt that Jamaica can be
the garden Of the United States and even of
England if she but chooses to set about The
work in real earnest. Such , position would
exactly suit the character and circumstances
of the population.

True American.
GREAT SKILL AND NERVE

Admiral Fyffe IVES a remarkable man and
an officer Of unusual distinction in the civil
war. His death has been the occasion of
the recalling of many incidents in his pic
turesquely spirited career of nearly half
century Of active service, and they illus
trate the character of a man whose career
would gladden. many a boys heart and
serve as very noble and stirring example
If his story could be fittingly told. He was
a man of whom it may we'll be said that he
wore his uniform over a patriotic heart,
whether at home in the heat Of civil con-
fiict, where his self-possession and entire
fearlessness led him to do valiant mans
work in helping victory to put an end to
fratricidal war, or in foreign ports. where
patriotism was much less at premium.

ferred to by those who knew his career,

SO seldom met with nowadays, known as
the old school," a man Of powerful ply
sique, fine hearing, handsome features, a
clear eye, strong voice. He was always
alert-a little gruff perhaps. He was stern
when necessity demanded, generous to a
