work now being instituted in Richmond
and is now preparing to co-operntc with
the citizens, who have already engaged
in the movement.
1t IS rot generally known here or In
ether sections of the State that the
League purposes taking up this line or
work Even among many of the MEM
beers of the organization it has been
thought that the movement inausurated
by the League was altogether against
the saloon. This, however, is not the
case The League is out against public
Vice of every sort and will go in for a
fight wherever necessary. Such fish,
it believes should be made in Richmond
and in striking at the saloon it holds that
it is going to the root of the evil.

BRAZILIAN AVOCADOS.
Increasing Popularity of the "Alli.
gator Pear Which Comes to
This Country.

The increasing popularity of the
avocado, or alligator pear, has brought
the Brazilian variety into great prom
inence of late. AS matter of fact, the
fruit is not pear at all, but belongs
to the laurel family. The chief au-
thority on the subject is picturesque
West Indian who imports these ex-
otto dainties, and who is an enthusiast
on the subject, says the New York
Post.
"The avocado" he said, sis food and
medicine, as we'll as refreshment.
When nature made it she intended it
as the highest development of the
vegetable world. 1t is delicious, but
not cloying. 1t has it's own character

other favors. For this reason it is the
only fruit which can be eaten plain.

it into marvellous custard pudding.
The popularity of the pulp is that it
contains a large amount of fixed oil,
which gives it a nutritive value superb
or to the olive and the peanut and
makes it almost equal to the egg.
"Though stranger in New York, it
is known and loved in every tropical
and sub tropical city. 1t is grown in
the West Indies, Central and South
America, Hawaii, the far east, north
ern, eastern, and western Africa.
Some enterprising Frenchmen have q
small orchard not far from Palm Beach
on the Florida coast, and in Southern
California there are hundreds of trees
now bearing. The finest variety is not
the Mexican or Venezuelan, or even the
Chinese, as is claimed by travellers, but
the Brazilian, and these the very best
come from the island of Marajo, at the
mouth of the Amazon, just opposite to
Para. The fruit is of lustrous, al
most vitreous green. The skin is very
tough, rather than hard, so mkch so

one or two officers, were steadily hight.
ing the fire-fiend. They had got the
matches off and were pumping streams
of water down upon the heated cargo.
But that was not enough. Blinded by
the smoke, not knowing where the fire
was seated, they were fighting in the
dark. 1t was necessary to grapple
with the danger at closer quarters to
get out the smouldering bales before
they burst into flame. Someone must
go downtown there into the foul,
sitting air of the hold, the ecorching
heat.
And lie was ready; a young fellow in
the ships uniform, the uniform of an
officer. He had bravely pulled off his
coat, and was binding wet towel
around his mouth and nostrils, while
they fixed sling at the end of a
rope to lower him into that black,
reeking cavity.
Up there, in the darkness of the
bridge, the captain stood and looked
on, looked on, perhaps with a
sudden, tighteneing of the heart,
though no trace Oh IL Was visible upon
his hard-lined face. It was the fourth
officer who was going down; and the
young fellow, though the relationship
was never acknowledged on board ship
it was always captain and fourth Of
ficer-was his own son.
Armed with lantern, he got into
the sling, and was lowered into the
unseen depths of the hold. And there,
working with feyerish energy, he
pulled the cargo about until he got at
the smouldering bales, and attached
them to the tackle which had been let
down to him. One by one they were
hauled up on deck and tossed into the
foaming sea. Not until his work was
done, and he had cleared out every
smouldering bale, was he drawn up
himself scorched, blackened, drip
ping with water, but with a ghast-
ly whiteness showing through the
CRIME on his face. No sooner did his
feet touch the deck than he collapsed
fell in a hudd1ed heap before they
could stretch out hand to his assist

edy. It has been tried with great
success at Seaside Park, and partially
at Montoloken and Bay Head. Where
filling is not practicable he advises that
the tide flow be introduced by ditching
Or that petroleum be used. AS to
this last named remedy, he says:
lin such cases pail of fuel oil,
kerosene or crude petroleum and a
broom are needed. Dipthe broom into
the oil pail, shake the oil over the pool,
and then sweep over the surface thor
oughly, so as to get into the grass and
along the banks, that every part of
the pool may get its oil coating and the
water itself be stirred with it. In less
than an hour every larva and pupa
will be dead, and the pool will remain
safe until the filling or draining oper-
atoms can be completed"
