Alligator Pears.

Most interesting of oil South Florida
fruits, because little cultivated, almost
unknown outside of the tropics, and
most highly appreciated when once
introduced, is the alligator or aracado
pear-the aguacate of Cuba. A very
few alligator pear trees are grown IN
sheltered spots of Southern California {;
but South Florida, below latitude
twenty-six degrees, is the only section
of the United States where it can be
cultivated on large scale and as q
profitable crop. Here it grows as
luxuriantly and with as little care as
the guava, though it requires greater
depth of soil. The tree is tall, slender.
and covered with , dense foliage OF
dark glossy green, while the ripened
fruit, also green in color. is smooth
skinned and as large as mans two
fists. Inside is great round stone or
seed surrounded by soft yellowish'
green pulp, which, sprinkled with salt
and eaten with spoon, or made into
. salad, il delicious beyond descrip-
ton. No one ever eats an, alligator
pear without wanting another, and the
taste once acquired demands to be
gratified regardless OF expense. ] have
known fifty and even seventy-fve cents
apiece to be paid for these pears. and
when once asked Broadway dealer
which was the most expensive fruit il
his store, he promptly answered. 'Al.
ligator pears. "-Harper's Rount

serted US long ago. II We had life to
live over again we wouldent raise boys.
They go too far away. I would like .
little grandson to run about and wait on
me, but there il none within reach. Our
grandsons are mostly girls, and they
are good children and comfort u all

for them, and We will have some fun
this winter. / was reading the other
day about happiness, aud the writer
said there was no such thing as pres
ent happiness, that when we are young
it is Just ahead of ue, and when we are
old it is lehind us. There is a good
deal of melancholy truth in that, but
it is not wholly true. II depends on
how q man schools himst II to bear the
ills of life. He can be happy il he
will or he can make himself miserable
by brooding over little troubles. The
world is bright and beautiful and full
of blessings to those who try to see it
so. So let Mrs. Minis stay away if
she wants to and let the old COW keep
on hunting for q calf and we will still
be calm and serene.-BnL ARP in At

Dimcult Rhymes.

In the Sunday Journal of June FL
was given list of words for which it
is either impossible or nearly SO to
find rhymes in the English language.
"Thin buck too" was given as the
only rhyme for ssTimbuctoo. There
10 = better one, however, which was
originated by clergyman some years
ago in verse written during the
progress of social game:
at I were cassowary,
On the plains OF Timbuctoo,
would eat u missionary
Hat and boots and hymn-book too"
The only rhyme for scalp is "slp."
It would require much thought to con-
meet these words with good effect, bnt
Byron has certainly done So in the
following passage from "Child Har''
old:"
ssAbove me are the Alps.
The palaces Of Nature whose vast walls
Have pinnacled In clouds their snowy scalps
And throned Eternity in icy halls
OF cold sublimity, were forms and falls
The avalanche-the thunderbolt OF snow!"
There is also the case of Dean Swift,
who was at one time most anxious to
find Q rhyme to Bettsworth-the name
of friend. One day, while remon-
strating with workman, whose claim
for wages he disputed, the man OK
claimed: "It's what my two-days'
sweat's WORTH" Dean Swift had found
his rhyme and gladly paid the claim
without further parley.-New York

A Spider Fired on a Big Cannon.

Cape Town, South Africa, claims the
honor OF owning the smallest creature
ever known to become a gunner in
the whole world. At the Castle, Cape
Town, there is a magnificent gun
works by electricity, used for giving
the midday and evening time.
One day all the military and civil.
ians in Cape Town we're astonished to
hear the gun go of at 1880 in the
morning, an hour and half before
the proper time, IL being the usual
hour for firing. All the officials were
puzzled at the extraordinary OCCUR
renee, but could give no explanation
whatever. The General in command
OF the station became furious, and
said that there was Encouragement
somewhere, and gave orders Tor .
strict search to be made Ivy the OH
Gals for the guilty party.
1tappears that the electric current
for firing off the gun is supplied by
the Royal Observatory of Cape Town,
and goes there by means OF an instru.
ment known as relay that is in the
central telegraph Office OF the station,
the distance being about 500 yards.
The action OF the current going
through the instrument's-main moves
q sort OF light tongue, which is very
finely set-so finely that the least lit
tie thing would affect it. This forces
tho current directly into what they
call the time fuses, which have the
! power of firing. the gun at the Castle.
On examining the instrument, one
OF the officials found big brown spi'
der inside. It appears that while
making ON exploring trip round the
instrument the unfortunate spider
must have touched this tongue suit
GENTLY to move ii, aud fred off the
gun. The General commanding the
station sent the spider to the Cape
Town Museum, where he is now to be
seen, with card underneath him, en-
titling him the s'Little Gunner" and
giving full account OF his adventure
with the Cape Town midday time gun
This proved his last adventure, how
ever.
