ODD FRUITS OF JAVA.
fhe Most Common One, the Durian,
Is the strangest of All.

"The fruits of Java" writes corre-
rpondent of the Pittsburg Dispatch,
form an interesting study in them
selves, there are SO many and of such
strange varieties. The most common
is the strangest Of all. 1t Is called the
durian and grows like huge excres-
cence from the trunk of a tree some
what similar to our pear tree. The
fruit, which Is pear shaped, grows to a
great size, often several feet In length,
and has a yellow skin, rough like a
pineapple. The most remarkable thing
about the DURAN, however, is its odor.
To say you can smell 1t block on Is
putting 1t mildly. A combination Of
aged eggs and the Yipest 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 a 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
q snake. There are the pomoloe, like a
great orange; the potato fruit, which
resembles that vegetable in all but its
fine flavor; the custard apple, with a
yellow custardlike pulp, having rath-
er decided taste Of turpentine; the pop
pe, like melon growing on tree; the
great Jack fruit, of rather coarse ia
vor; a small yellow fruit, with an un-
pronounceable native name. incased In
a great bur like chestnut, and hun
dred other varieties, with none but ma
tive and scientific names, some good,
some Indifferent and some entirely un-
palatable TO any but native. The or
ange is rather scarce fruit, but the
pineapple and banana are abundant
and delicious, especially the former.
There are more than twenty different

pathy love and fellowship Is as old
as the race. The need of the individ-
ual of help and comfort and encour-
agement Is as wide as human life and
as enduring as time. Where shall we
look for these? The material world
Is dead TO appeals for sympathy aud
love--Nature is cold and unmoved by
the cries of her children. 1t Is not
until we look up that we discover one
who is infinite in his tender mercies
toward us, who has also given his
spirit of love and helpfulness to our
fellowmen. Divine love changes not.
Gods spirit works kindliness, sympa-
thy and love in human lives as Of old.
"The inspiration of the tenets of the
order of Pathfinders finds its source
in the life of him who walks about
among men doing good. And the work
ing out In your individual lives of
these privileges must be prompted by
a higher motive than the mercenary,
or cold sense of duty. Benevolence,
integrity and loyalty are virtues which
need to predominate in every life to-
day. They find their field for exercise
everywhere. Benevolence in its best
meaning is more than good wishes.
If its spirit is of value to you as mem
bers of this order, 1t takes on an ac-
tivity which puts kindly feelings and
desire for the welfare Of others into
activity which ministers to the needy
dries tears of sorrow and makes
| lives happier, better and stronger.
"Integrity is an ideal worthy of earn
est aspiration and honest effort in this
day of moral unsoundness and corrupt
motives, broken trusts and violated
condolences. This day calls for men
whose discharge of every sacred trust
| is cOnsldefed Defore personal gain OF
advancement.
The principle of loyalty must have
fixed place in every life. The per-
petuty of an institution depends upon
the loyalty of those who are it's sup
port. Fidelity to duty is a saving
virtue hs it brings lis into line with all
authority, human and divine. These
tenets of your order belong to the old
paths of righteousness and truth. Do
not merely borrow them, but by ac.
cepting him who is the way, the
fixed elements of your characters"

Rev. J. ". Heininser Preached a
Fine Sermon TO the Order.

The Pathfinders held their annual
church service in Calvary Evangeli-
cal church, Sunday at 2:30 pm. Ow-
ing to the dedication of the new Cath
olic church the attendance was not as
large as was expected but there was
u fairly large audience and the SER
vices were interesting. The choir had
prepared special music and the sermon
was preached by Rev. j. w. Helning-
er In part he said:
This is an age of new things. The
industrial, commercial and education
al worlds are revolutioni2ed periodi-
cally by men of advanced thought.
But while we have passed beyond the
widest dreams of our fathers, the
things of today will give way to-
morrow to the new and improved.
Though the old rule of the rod, the
Ounce cap, and the rule of three"
have given way to our present educa-
tlonal system in which intelligent,
systematic, thoroughly equipped meth
ods come into close and sympathetic
touch with the young mind and life,
the thoughtful instructor stands in
reverent awe before the possibilities
of the mind, which only new systems
of instruction may develop.
But amid all the changing scenes
Of life, some things, though old, can
never give way to the new. The

the Federal army for nearly four years
and from which the government could
not take advance line earlier than
November, 1864. The B. & o. was the
means Of communication between the
West and the Army of the Potomac, and
was consequently in continual state
Of siege. Harper's terry, the key to
the Shenandoah Valley, first famed
through the fanatical attempt of John
Brown, in defying the laws and GUS

Fate favored Kirkwood in the game
on the COW pasture at Silver Lake Sat
urdny and another was added to their
string Of victories. A swift foul tip in
the fourth went through Kossuch's
mask and he was compelled to leave
the game. PA" Allen donned the
glove and mask and caught II good
game, but he could not hit for sour
apples. McAllister was spiked, by Van
Dame early n the game, but he pluck
lily kept on. These accidents seemed
to demoralize the Niagara team and
Kirkwood won game that seemed to
be hopelessly lost.
The fielding OH both teams was rag.
ged, owing to the miserable condition
OF the COW pasture. On a good diamond
the game would have been pretty
one. QunITle's hitting and Stevens
and McSha ffreys base running were
features of the game.
Clark's umprlng was feature OF the
game. While Kirkwood got the worst
of several close decisions, his work as
whole was better than that of any
umpire that has appeared on the field
this season. He is on the jump all the
time, has plenty of nerve, and his
voice can be heard by all the specta-
tors.

convey the idea of coins, but of weights,

Athenian drachma of q value of about
D51a cents in American money. The

East End emerged from the meeting
with the Cleveland Wheel Club, Sat
urday, defeated, but the members of
the team were nevertheless elated, for
they played a good game, full of gin
ger and excellent ball, and had driven
the Wheel Clubs crack pitcher, Smith,
out Of the box, after that individual
had achieved the record of holding
down the Kent team to three hits.
Three home runs, two of them by
Cleveland batters, and the other by
Krohmer, of the East Akrons, were
features of the game, though with all
the heavy hitting the score was held
down and ended Al. The crowd was
big, and the enthusiasm strong, and
the East End club doomed its stock
considerable, though the team lost the
chance to win the game when 1t came
to them in the eighth inning.
