handsome women as manicures (mere
fortune tellers), but even these do not
long attract. An old and philosophical
self-shaver says: s'Tip, tell all your
friends to dip the blade of the razor
in hot water before drawing IT over

rhe Papaxa rec of the EASE.

The papaya tree fiourishes all over
tropical India, from Delhi to Ceyion.
It's fruit is greatly priced by both Eu-
ropean and native, as well for it's edi-
BILE as for it's medicinal qualities. In
the United States it is known as the
papaw or pawpaw and wrongly identi-
fed with the small tree and fruit of
that name, which is of the custard-ap-
pie family, and is found growing in
the Middle. Western and Southern
States. According to modern botan-
lists the papaya is domesticated in In
shores of the Gulf of Mexico, whence
1t was introduced into India by the
Portuguese at an early date or soon af-
ter the discovery of America. In the
Burmese language its name means
f"fruit brought by seagoing vessels. !"
| The fruit when ripe attains the size
of small melon, which it somewhat
resembles. While growing, it has a
deep green color, which on ripening
turns to dull orange. The interior is
soft, yellowish and sweet and con-
tains numerous small black seeds ar.
ranged in FIVE longitudinal lines along
the centre cavity. They have a pleas
ant pungent taste, not unlike mustard
seed. The ripe fruit has flavor Pc
culiar to itself. 1t is eaten by all
classes and Is considered wholesome.
In the West Indies it is sometimes
boiled and eaten as vegetable. In
India, when green. it is cooked by the
the natives in their curries and is also
picked. 1t is usually, however, eaten
raw, when ripe, with salt. and is
ranked among the finest of Eastern
fruits.
