The Cincinnati Tribune says:
1.-THE melons are not so good as they
were dozen years ago. and this is the
testimony Of many consumers In the
North. A few years ago some producer
sent TO this market a number OF cars
of fine melons. He was so well satisfied
with his product that every melon bore a
printed label, giving the name Of the
melon and the raiser. A grocer here.
who sold thousands OF them, said that
every melon was practically perfect. and
that he never had a complaint. But
those melons are not coming here, or, at
least, If they are, they are being sold,
unmarked, with thousands Of others that
are not good. II may be that the
grower went out of the business, being
unable to compete with the growers OF
"gourd" melons. All this deterioration.
however, is along the line of general
trade. There Is a fierce competition TO
make cheap things and not good things.
Quality is sacrificed for quantity, and in
the long run the consumer is the one that
paws the freight. Let the Georgia
growers turn from the new way and get
back 10 the old. Raise sweet melons,
even If they are not so big. In the long
run they will pay best"
From what we have been able to learn
Of the subject the object Of the Georgia
melon raisers in making "gourd" melons
Is not to secure grandeur Of size, but
toughness for shipment. What is here
called a "gourd" melon Is a melon pro-
duced by putting a pumpkin or gourd
seed in the hill with the watermelon
seed so that by cross-fertilization some
of the fibrous character of the pumpkin
is transmitted TO the watermelon. This
makes the rnd tough and permits the
safe shipment of the melons by rail-
The pure or unmiXed melons, are so
soft that much money has been lost in
handling them. On the other hand. the
effect of the pumpkin Is not alone no.
ticeable I'm the rind. but I'm the meat
Of the melon as well. making II tough.
veining IL with yellow and bitter strings.
and lessening the melons sweetness. on
this account what has been gained in
durability has been lost I'm general at
tractiveness. for the public finds the
modern melon inferior in taste TO the old.
although its appearance to the eye is
admirable. Some people claim also that
the "gourd' melon Is indigestible. and
that whereas they formerly ate melon
without experiencing any ill-effects, they
are now painfully affected when they
venture 10 consume the improved fruit.

after living in India for fifteen years"
said a civil engineer. Il am firm In my
belief that In no other country on the
face of the globe has thievlng been
brought 10 such a point Of perfection.
No matter what province the native halls
from. whether high caste or low, the
faint is in his blood and has descended
20 him through generations. Now and
then 1 have met HindOO who would
speak the truth by accident. but never in
all those years did 1 meet one I'm whose
honor l could put implicit trust. There
was punishment for thieves before the
English came. and the punishment has
been increased from time to time, but
were II hanging offence 10 steal. tho
thief would stll continue to do so. 1
have figured Il out that he can't help Il,
and have had a hundred experiences in
proof.
''As a civil engineer / was brought into
direct contact with the masses and
