My brother, that is a very brave and

is useless for you to make a last will

THE fruits CT java" writes q corre-
spondent of the Plttsburg Dispatch,
form an Interesting study In them
selves, there are so many and of such
strange varieties. The most common
Is the strangcst of all. 1t is called the
DURAN and grows like huge excres-
eence from the trunk of tree some
what similar TO our pear tree. The
fruit, which is pear shaped. grows to q
great size, often several feet in length,
and has yellow skin, rough like a
pineapple. The most remarkable thing
about the DURAN. however, Is its odor
To say you can smell 1t a block off is
putting 1t mildly. A combination OF
aged eggs and the ripest cheese could
not be compared with 1t. When you
break open the hull to find what can
be the cause of all this disturbance to
your olfactory nerves and find great
cluster of snow white kernels which
taste like some strangely delicious GUS
tard, your amazement Is greater still.
Another strange fruit is the serpent
fruit. SO called from the fact that its
skin is the exact counterpart of that Of
a snake. There are the pomoloe, like q
great orange; the potato fruit, which
resembles that vegetable in all but its
fine flavor; the custard apple. with a
yellow custardlike pulp. having a rath-
er decided taste Of turpentine; the pop
p@, like melon growing on tree; the
great jack fruit, of rather a coarse ia
yor; small yellow fruit. with an un-
pronounceable native name, incfised In
great bur like a chestnut, and hum
dred other varieties, with none but ma
tive and scientific names, some good,
some Indifferent and some entirely I'M
palatable to any but native. The Or
ange is rather a scarce fruit, but the
pineapple and banana are abundant
and delicious, especially the former.
There are more than twenty different
varieties of bananas native to Java"

people to initiate Peruna. A great
many so-called catarrh remedies and
catarrhal tonics are to be found in

can be procured by the druggist much
