Hall Brothers, 2w Lewiedale, S. C. ODD FRUI*TS OF JAVA. The Most Common One, the Dorian, Is the Strangest of All. "The fruits of Java," writes a correspondent cf the Pittsburg Dispatch, "form an interesting study in themselves, there are so many and of such strange varieties. The most common , is the strangest of all. It is called the j durian and grows like a huge excrescence from the trunk of a tree somewhat similar to our pear tree. The j 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 durian, however, is its odor. J To say you can smell it a block off is putting it mildly. A combination of aged eggs and the ripest cheese could not be compared with it. When you break open the hull to find what can be the cause of all this disturbance to 1 your olfactory nerves and find a great ! cluster of snow white kernels which j taste like some strangely delicious cus- j tard, your amazement is greater still, i Another strange fruit is the serpent J fruit, so called from the fact that its i skin is the exact counterpart of that of j a snake. There are the pomoloe, like a j great orange; the potato fruit, which j resembles that vegetable in all but its fine flavor; the custard apple, with a yellow custardlike pulp, having a lather decided taste of turpentine; the poppoe, like a melon growing on a tree; the great jack fruit, of rather a coarse fia ?AllArr. trJfVi o n nn_ ' YOr; il SUJclll yCULMV null, IIHU cm cm pronounceable native name, incased in a great bur like a chestnut, and a hundred other varieties, with none but native and scientific names, some good, some indifferent and some entirely unpalatable to any but a native. The orange is rather a scarce fruit, but the j pineapple and banana are abundant and delicious, especially the former. There are more than twenty different varieties of bananas native to Java." YARNS FROM ERIN. The Absarditiea That Are Born of Irish Simplicity. Here are a few samples of the absurdities arising out cf the extreme simplicity of some Irish folk: A young man came to confess to an Irish priest in London whose experiences of the humors of his fellow countrymen would fill a book. "Well, my man," said the priest, "and how do you earn your living?" "I'm an acrowbat. your riverence." The priest was nonplused. "I'll show ye what I mean in a brace of shakes," said the penitent, and in a moment was turning himself inside out in the most approved acrobatic fashion in and out of the pews. An old woman who had followed him to confession looked on horrified. "When it comes to my turn, ratneiy she gasped, "for the love of God don't put a penance on me like that. It 'ud be the death of me!" I think it was the same good father who, observing the regular attendance at a Lent mission had done nothing to reform one of his parishioners, told him so and asked him the reason of it. "Ah, father," he replied, "I can manage the faith right enough, but the morals bate me." On another occasion this priest was called upon to marry a man of whom he knew nothing to a girl of his congregation. On investigation he found the would be bridegroom's knowledge of the Catholic faith very limited. "Have you ever been baptized?" he asked. "Well, father, I can't trust me memory to that." "Are your parents living?" "The mother is." "Let's have her address." This was given and a telegram dispatched to the old lady on fhrt cunt ronlv nn id The nnswer came in clue course, "Vaccinated, but not baptized."?A Kerry Man in London Spectator. i Licking Thumbs to Bind a Contract. Goths and Iberians completed an agreement by licking and joining their thumbs, as Scotsmen once did and Moors still do. and rustic lovers once betrothed themselves by licking their respective master fingers and then pressing them together as they vowed to remain faithful to each other forever and a day. Even now an Ulster man signifies his assent to a proposition with. "We may lick thooms upo' that!" if he does not suit the action to the word like the lieutenant who in 1042. on being challenged to mortal I combat by his own sergeant, accepted the duel by licking his thumb, saying, "There is my parole for it."?Chambers' Journal. i a \ i \ / v \J c-iw.y C^^T-V \xrr> ?
