How Tropical Fruit. Are Protected.

How Tropical Fruits Are Protected.
1t may have struck you that most
tropical fruits have thick or hard or
nauseous rinds, which need to be torn
off before the monkeys or birds for
whose use they are intended can get at
them and eat them. Our northern
Strawberries, raspberries, currants and
whortleberries, developed with a sim
gle eye to the pretty robins and finches
of temperate climes, can be popped
into the mouth whole and eaten as
they stand. They are meant for small
birds to devour and to dispense the
tiny undigested, nutlike seeds in return
for the bride of the soft pulp that sur
rounds them. But it is quite otherwise
with oranges, shaddocks, bananas,
plantains, mangoes and pineapples.
Those great tropical fruits can only be
eaten properly after stripping off the
hard and often acrid rind that guards
and preserves them.
They lay themselves out for disper-
sion by monkeys, toucans and other
relatively large and powerful fruit eat
ers, and the rind is put there as a bar
rier against small thieves who would
rob the sweet pulp, but be absolutely
incapable of carrying away and dis
persing the large and richly stored
seeds it covers.-Cornhill Magazine.

DIR. Johnson, the Ursa Major of Eng
lish literature, had prOdigious MEM
ory and at one period of his life
employed it in reporting parliamentary
debates. Once DIR. Hawkesworth read
to him poem which he intended to
publish and asked his opinion of it.
why. sir" said Johnson, II cannot
well determine on first hearing. Read
1t again." Hawkesworth complied.
The next morning, the subject of the
poem being resumed, johnson said he
had but one objection to 1t, that he
doubted its originality, and to prove
his statement repeated the whole poem,
with the exception of a few lines,
which so alarmed Hawkesworth that
he declared he would never again read
anything of his composing to johnson,
who, he said, had memory which
would convict any author Of plagia-
rism.

THE EGYPTIAN LOTUS.
1t Grows Perfectly when Planted In
Rich Mud.

hich ,huus
Egyptian lotus roots may be obtained
from any florist. The seed will readily
terminate IL hole is filed or drilled
through the hard shell that moisture
may penetrate the kernel, otherwise
they will lie dormant almost indefinite
ly. 1t is perfectly hardy and comes to
perfection when planted in shallow
water with rich mud and full exposure
to the sun-simply naturalized in the
same environments that suit our native
water lily. Artificial ponds or cement
basins are often made for the accom-
mediation of this and other water lilies.
Such tanks should be two or three feet
deep and of any size and outline de-
sired. Twelve by twenty feet is a
nice size for the amateur. 1t is best to
plant the lilies in boxes, say three feet
square and one foot deep, filled with
good rich soil and sunk in the tank.
The lotus submits gracefully to cult
walton in tubs. Ordinary half barrels
will do for tubs. Fill them two-thirds
the roots q prefer roots to seed; then
| fill tubs full of water and set I'm a
warm, sunny place. In winter remove
the tubs with their contents to cellar.
A beautiful aquatic garden may be
had by arranging several tubs of lotus
and nympna into mound or circle
and filling the spaces between them
with ferns, arrowheads and other
moisture loving plants.-Home and

NOTES AND PERSONALS.

Mrs Roosevelt has recovered from her recent indisposition and is now able to see a few friends in the family sitting room. Although not generally known at the time, 1t is now said at the White House that Mrs. Roosevelt has been quite Ill and that for several days ser ious developments were feared, says the New York World.
 The long social season and the strain in- cident to the illness of her eldest son have made inroads In her strong consti- tution. Her visit to Charleston was also another source of fatigue and her health has been declining steadily until at last her physician ordered absolute rest.
 The presidential family will leave Washington on June 8 on the Dolphin and proceed leisurely to Oyster Bay, mak- ing stops on the way The president has practically decided to accompany the family as he feels the need of rest al- most as much as Mrs. Roosevelt.
 Miss Alice will also go to Oyster Bay
 before going to Boston to visit her grand mother Mrs. Lee, and the other rela- | lives of her mother. It had been Mrs.
  ington after she had arranged affairs for the children, but in view of her recent illness she will not undertake this second journey. It Is likely that when she bids farewell to the capital she will not re- turn until the autumn.
 One of the most delightful affairs of the season was the cotillon given at Lake View Tuesday evening in honor of Miss Grey Wilkins, the charming guest of Miss Caffee. AmorE the dancers were MT. and Mrs. Redd. MT. and Mrs. Ed Wilcox, Miss Willie Caffee, Miss Grey Wilkins, Miss Helen Shelby. Miss Carrie Sharp, Miss Lura Brown, Miss Ethel Dumar, Miss Ferry Nabb.

BLEED ENGLISH TAX PAYERS.
War Has Made Serious lnroad on
 Great Britain's Finances.

New York, June 5-Thts years bud get was not made up without serious disputes within the cabinet and naturally 1t could not be unmade without re-opening unpleasant controversies, says a London dispatch to the Tribune. Sir Michael Hicks-Beach prudently decided to let well enough alone. While the remission of war taxation would have been the nat ural sequenc. of peace. nobody in the house expected that the budget would be patched up.
 The ministers themselves have not ad- mitted that the army in South Africa can be materially reduced before the end of the year, and Colonial Secretary Chamberlain has been unwilling to have the grain duties taken ofr as long as the conference of colonial premiers promises to lead 10 important results. People of moderate incomes, who constitute the largest class of taxpayers, have been ter ritly bled during the war period.
