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

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.
