A RARE AND DELICIOUS
FLORIDA FRUIT

Possibly the most repulsive ap-
pearing fruit that is grown in this
locality is the ceriman-the name
does not appear either in dictionary
or cyclopedia-of which J. B. Beach
has several specimens which are old
enough to fruit-and other smaller
specimens for sale. The leaf is a
huge thing, several feet in diameter
and full of large OPENINGS as if some
worm had been making havoc with
the plant, and the vines possess the
peculiar habit of fastening them
selves, like an airplant, upon the
fence, the building, or the nearest
object, and sucking from it the whole
life.
The fruit, which is supposed to
ripen in this climate every fourteen
months, resembles in shape an elon-
gated cucumber with brownish-
tinted skin which is very rough and
very unprepossessing in appearance.
None would suppose the fruit would
be at all toothsome, but to peel and
slice the same and eat for the pur-
uoseo pleasure gives one the high
est sense of enjoyment. Its flavor
can be compared to no one thine-
for it embraces a tinge of the pine
apple, the orange, the strawberry
the peach, and all that may seem

stincts towards cleanliness that

strict watchfulness of the mother
from the earliest infancy of her
offspring. If you don't believe
this charge against the other an

ing from his mistress rush to

shaking hands and then hug your
pet to your bosom, if you want to.
But worse tan the common
dirty abits, dogs and cats and
mokevs are subject to diseases
which they man communicate to
human beings. Cats and monk
eys suffer from tuberculosis, and
with dogs they share the danger
of rabies and pneumonia. All fur

be free from them now, but his

next week.
1t is possible-even probable
that the human being may may

pet, and the early stages of these
diseases that are common to man
and animals, are more difficult
to detect in the animal than in
man.

are weary of life. Sensible men

will treat them as faithful friends,
but not as pets, for God never in
