The Avocado or Alligator Pear
By c. u. TAFT.

This remarkable fruit comes to us
primarily from Mexico or Central
America. Indeed, 1t is quite within
the limits of legitimate speculation to
assume that it's original home may
have been the lost continent of At
lantis: that it has come to us by way
of Yucatan or Guatemala. and that in
Atlantis it was brought to such a
high state OF perfection that after
thousands of years of comparative
neglect it still retains qualities of
wonderful interest.
In the opinion of very many peo-
pie the Avocado is the best OF all
fruits. I know of none whose vo-
taries are more enthusiastic. II
makes the best of all salads. as IL
stands midway i'm it's composition be-
tween fruits and nuts, embracing
many of the attractive qualities of
both. There seems to be a fascin-
alton in It's flavor which fingers on the
palate. and to those who know its
taste, the price, like that of cham
payne. is a secondary consideration.
Hence we find fruits imported from
mNNICO, hawaii ana OInef countries
selling at So and more per dozen
Wholesale. and the demand constant
ly growing
1t is hardly probable that here In
this country we can ever produce
fruit quite equal in size to the largest
from the tropics, but there are small
Ter and harder varieties which are
no whit inferior. but rather better in
flavor and richness, which have been
found to do well. These are from
local or Mexican seeds whose ances-
tors for many generations have grown
in climate much like our own.
AS there are uncommonly great va
Ration in the time OF blooming and
also in the period required for the
fruit of different types of trees to
come to maturity. an orchard may be
obtained by selection which will bear
continuously. This Is. of course. very
desirable to the consumer and ma
terial to the market grower. as there
is plenty of demand at all times.
To conclude with just a word OF
prophecy. or query rather The next
craze" will be about the Avocado?

keep up insurance policies. often each
member OF the family, from the child
few months old to the wage-earner,
are insured for enough to cover fun
eral expenses. These amounts paid
out for premiums. while only ten or
fifteen cents n week, mean quite a
sacrifice to the family.
Recreation has no place In the fam
lily budgets of families In the lower
groups OF incomes. Most OF the rec
reation is obtained by sitting I'm front
OF their houses and chatting with the
neighbors, or at rare intervals a car
ride to a free park. The tobacco bill
of the father of the family. amount
Ing to ten cents or more a week,
seems quite an item to a family Of
the lower groups OF incomes.
IL Is, of course. not possible, to OBJ
tain accurate statistics on the amount
spent for drink. especially when 1t is
spent by the father away from home.
but In every case IL means a curtail-
ment OF the allowance for necessi-
ties for the family. Fuel is slightly
cheaper in New York than In inland
cities. and owing to smaller average
number of rooms less is used than
would be found to be the case in
smaller cities where rents are not so
high. Larger amounts are, of course,
spent for carfares, for the wage
earners to and from work.
There is greater opportunity. on
the other hand. for judicious expendi-
ture. for bargains and cut rate sales
