The Julce makes a deep stain, hard to remove. The natives say it will not go away until the leaves fall from the tree. The mamon IS one of the~most delicious of fruits. It is

It is called by the English cream fruit. and it has the consistency and favor of vanilla ice cream.

The jagua resembles the sapotie and may be nutritious, but as it is almost tasteIess it is seldom eaten. The caimita resembles the orange in shape, though it does not lose it's green exterior when ripe The tree is one of luxuriant foliage, dense and wide-spreading. The leaf is small and peculiar. in that the top Is bright green. while the lower side is dark brown.

AN INE CASES of consumption out of " ten occur in this way:
 A person catches a cold. The cold is not properly cured, and they quickly catch another one. This cold is dilly-dailied with by no treatment, or some treatment that is intellectual and the cold continues.
 They they catch another cold and begin to cough. Then they take cough syrups but they do no good
 By. and by they get tired of taking med icine, and give up in despair.
 Their cold continues, and their cougf grows worse Then they apply to doc tor, only to discover that they are in tho first stages of consumption.
 Miss Lillia, of Illinois, started out ex- actly in this way. Fortunately, she took a course of Peruna before 1t was toe late She had caught several colds. then a cough developed. She took all sorts of cough medicines until, as she puts 1t, T sickened at the sight of them" In four weeks Peruna had cured her of her catarrh, and her system was entirely rid of it..
 This Is what Peruna is doing all the while. Not a day and probably not an hour, passes but some one has similar experience with Peruna.
 The first step toward consumption is catching cold. The next step Is failure to cure 1t promptly. The third step is inc development of catarrh. which grad ually becomes chronic. The fourth step, the catarrh begins to spread from the

The plantain, a species of banana, or rather the reverse Is true, is an impor- tant article of food. It contains much more nutriment than -four and Is ahead of the potato in this respect. It is very delicious fried, and baked dry 1t is the bread of the interior. It is remarkable how quickly a European will come to prefer it to good bread with his coffee. No butter is used with 1t, and, in fact very little is used at any time.
 There are dozens of these compare lively unknown fruits. Besides the earth yields up her wealth of roots. The best friend of the native is the palm, whose firm, white pith has the taste and ap- pearance of cabbage. It is called palm cabbage. The bark furnishes the walls of the houses and the leaves the roofs. the hats and some of the garments. The cassava bread comes from root rich in starch, and the round large cakes. about the size of barrel top, are found in every home. The cassava flour is pois- onous as dough, as it contains much hydrocyanic acid. This is very volatile and the heat of baking expels it..
 Tt is not surprising that foreigners fall into a life of luxury in few years when compelled to live in the tropics, and there are many of them there without ambition to break away from the ener- vating temptations, who would not give up the dreamy, careless life if they could.

American Goods in Land Qf the Alps;

Our people do not understand the Swiss nor their wants. They think the, are longing for American goods, and that they will snap at them as soon as they see our catalogues. They do not realize that this is one of the oldest markets of Europe and that people lived here very comfortably long before America was ais covered There are store buildings in Nu- rich which contained merchandise while our forefathers. dwelling in log cabins, were bartering with the Indians; ana these same store buildings are still filled ,uftb all the necessaries and iuxuries that the Swiss need or want If we would sell goods here we must show the Swiss that our goods are better than those they are buying.

American Supply Warehouses
 "arafad

Our exporting firms should study the Swiss, and if necessary modify their goods to suit the demand. They should have supply houses at Zurich. which could feed the stores of the villages and smaller places as well as those of Zurich. This is a small country, and the people live largely from hand to mouth. In many of the stores almost the whole stock is kept in the show windows, and the merchants will not lay in a large amount at one time.

be gathered unless we have an un-
usually early frost. But the main

1t is announced in the Lexington
papers that Hon. E. +. Noel of
Holmes county is a candidate for
governor. The gentleman has been
in politics fer number of years and
has made himself very prominent
before the people, especially in his
constitutional amendment offered in
the legislature and voted down by the
people making the judiciary elective.
In consequence of this bill and sew
eraI others introduced by him be has
become one of the best known public
men in the state. For this reason he
has made many friends and therefore
will make good run for governor.
AS to his fitness for the Office it is
conceded that he has the ability, and
his close observation of public men
and public life and his naturally
good common sense, have well fitted
him for the place. But all of this is
covered by the one question: Can
he receive the nomination over the
several other prominent men who
are in the field? OF course he stands
an equal chance and doubtless with
the knowledge of this fact and the
further fact that no one can succeed
unless he tries, the gentleman will
enter the field with much encourage
ment,

HURRAH FOR HARDYl

Last Saturday evening the people
of south Seminary turned out to the
man and boy wearing bands on their
hats and caps with the word Hardy
on them. When the train rolled by
with Capt. Hardy aboard on his way
home from a meeting held at Collins
where he made one of his character
istic speeches, such yelling and
"hurrahing for Hardy was never
heard in the old town before. 1t a2-
peared that the entire population of
that little city was at the depot and
nearly every man and boy was wear
ing Hardy badge. 1t is said that
Seminary is solid for Hardy, and not
only the city, but the entire county.
Collins is also solid for him so far as
this writer could learn Saturday
evening from gentlemen on the train.
1t seems that the captain IS making
pretty good Roadway wherever he
speaks.
