(lie delicious fruit known as the man-
gostPen, which persons wh • h iw vis-
ted Ceylon, Java, or the southeast of
Asia must remember td have eaten
.with pleasure. -It is claimed that
some plan 1ms been devis’d to keep
ilu* fruit during its long voyage.
The maiig* stec-n, native to the Mo
lucca Islands, although grown in
many purls of the East, resembles in
size and shape an orange. The rind
is like.that.,of the pomegranate, hut
thicker, softer, and jnoier, Green ut
first, it changes to a dark brown with
Jellowish spots;-the insidiyof a rosy
-hue, being divided by thin partitions
into several cells in which the seeds
lie, surrounded by a soft succulent
pulp, tasting like a combination of
grape and strawberry. It can be ea
ten without inconvenience in any
quantity, and is the sole fruit which
physicians permit their patients to
'like. Indeed, it is recommended as
very .wholesome, and has the happy
mixttteof bout and sweet that is so
appetizing as to prevent satiety.
The leaves of the tree are entire,
some seven or eight inches long, Ca
pering at the endB, of a bright green
jibove, and an olive color beneath.
The blp?8pin looks like a single rose,
and has four dark red roundish pe
tals. It is not improbable tlint the
mangosteen might be domesticated
in Flo nil a rtnd Southern California
since it seems to need only hot
weather in order to flourish; and if
it could be domesticated, it would be
n. great addition to our many varie
ties of delicious fruit.
The quinine monopoly is about to
be investigated. We are glad to hear
that a petition is in circulation
in some of the Western citizens
to be presented to congress at its
approaching session, praying for
the abolition of the present, exorbi
tant duly on quinine. It x is stated
that under, the present tariff law the
enormous duty of one dollar and
lour cents is imposed on every dol
lar’s worth of quinine imported into
the United States. feThere are but
wo manufacturers of this valuable
rug in this country, and the result
is, that being protected from all for
eign competition by the enormous
Federal tax, they have a complete
monopoly of this trade, and do not
hesitate to enrich themselves through
the necessities of the people, during
the late fearful epidemic the price of
quinine and cinohonidia have risen

Boil iny for Yellow Fever*
The home of a poor washerwoman
on L e street (a widow and
the mother o! limit children) was in
vaded by the yellow fever, and all of
her children were al tucked within
twenty-four hours. Having hud ex
perience in*nursing yellow fever, she
determined to dispense wiih the ser-
ices of a physician, and immediately
administered the usual purgatives
and placel the little ones in bed,
Well covered with blankets’.
She succeeded in inducing per-
spiruiiou in thrwe of her patients, hut
the fourth and youngest one she
could not manage. The pores re
mained closed ami the skin dry. She
tried every tiling—mustard loot-bath
hot drinks and old drinks—hut all
her efforts were unsuccessful.
Stepping into the yard for a mo
ment, the implements of her profes
sion (the wash-boiler and tubs) met
her views, and instantly a thought
suggested itsell to her mind which
she at once acted • upon. Procuring
a furnace she started a fire and ) 11-
ced it in the room, and returning,
half filled the wash-boiler with water,
placing it on the fire. She then took
the little one from the bed and sat it
in the boiler, allowing it to remain
there until it was nearly parboiled,
and retjirned it to its bed.
A neighbor, who had been told of
her unavailing efforts, asked her
how the children ( Were. After ax-
plaining her modus.cperandi of in
ducing perspiration, she wound up
with the remark, “That fetched her.”
All her little ones recovered.

“Is this a pig?”
“Yes, thjs a pig.” ff
“What 18^1 hog,?”
“A hog spits all over the floor of a
street car; lie also wants Ahc slamp-
;derk af the post-niticr tq wait ,ou
him first. That's the way you can
ti ll a hog from u pig.”
• ‘‘Does a pig root with his feet?”
“No—-lie roots with his nose. A
pig’s nose is called a snout. A cheer-
lul-minded pig will turn over more
ground in search of one small pota
to than the average boy would dig
up in hunting for a gold watch.”
“What gait does the pig take?”
“lie likes an open gate the best.”
“Js a pig as iiitellfgeiit as a dog?”
“More lo about some things. A
dog mokt always jumps over a fence,
straining his muscles and running
the risk of breaking his back, while,
a pig dives under it and runs no
risk. A pig can tell a hill of pota
toes iron* a nil) of cucumbers but a
dog can’t. You lead a dog, but the
]>ii will leaf! lop*
“Can a pig see in the night?”
“lie cijj.i see by night as well as by
day. In driving one out of the gar
den lie won’t appear lo, see the hole
he came in a!, but he does s»-e »,t all
the time.”
“Why is it that two pigs eating at
a trough six leet long, will still
crowd each other?”
“We will answer that when you
explain why it is that everyone in
the crowd around a fallen horse
wants to buss the j<*b of getting the
animal up.”
••Do pigs have eye-hr »ws ?”
“Yes, uni il old enough to root;
then they wear ’em of! against fence
rails.”
“Are there pigs of lead?”
“Yes, but von can’t find anyone
who ever led a pig.”
“Wlnil food do pigs preler?”
“Well quail on toast is their choice,
but when they can’t get it they will
lake up wilh grass, frozen potatoes,
mould)-coni' or apple-cores. Ilu
goes hungry because the hired girl
happens lo grind up pepper with the
coffee.”
“The cackling of geese, you said
once, saved Koine. Did the grunt'*
ing of pigs ever save anything?”
“Nothing that we know of, but
pig’s heels have often eaved his ba
con.”
“Do pigs ever attack children ?”
“Once in a great while. If a pig
had gone into politics and got beaten
aud oilier pigs were shoving him
around and calliu him an idiot and
so forth, he might be tempted to bile
a small boy who was sticking kernels
of corn on a cast-iron cob to deceive
him and break oft* bis teeth.”
“Cun pigs climb ?”
“Yes. Let four or five dogs get
after one small pig and he’ll climb fur
ull he’s worth. He may not go up a
tree, but it will be because he hasn’t
time to stop.
The y iar 1878 will be u memorable
one iu the initials of hunm- misery.
Famine an pestilence have done their
own work in some of the most popu
lous regions inhabited by mankind.
India and China have been devasta

rors to scourge and starvation. The
yellow fever, which has afflicted the
South, is mild by comparison with
the outbreak of cholera, small-pox
and malignant fever now carrying
death into all parts of the Empire of
Morocco. Such widespread miseries
inrely manifest themselve. Our
planet must have wandered into the

Madame V—has a passion for al
ways dressing her daughter in clothes
that are a great deal too large for

SAYINGS OF 10SII BILLINGS.
I lnVve'sceii folks who I thought
hud loo much property; if would b?
n relief t<i see them lie down on the
floor and roll over once in a while.
Tin rc'uFe out very b w people who
ever wear out, but i «iv are' any
quantity of (hem who mat and ioi
out.
It is so easy for some p -ople to ad
vise other folks to sit down in udent-
ist’s chair and have a big double
tooth jerked out, that I have often
wondered why they didn’t sit down
ami have one jerked out themselves
just, lot 1 the fun of the tiling.
Young man, sit down and keep
still; you will have plenty of chan
ces yet to make a tool of yourself be«
fore you die. I always thought it
was better for a man to invest his re
ligion iu his business rather than his
business iu his religion.
It pays to be polite, even to a mule,
not so much on the mule’s account
nS bn your own.
A'hy inati can In* a first-class gen
tleman In half the time it, lakes lo
make a third-rate loafer of himself.
Politeness is us cheap as cold water,
and he who gives his brother a drink
ol cither “will in no wis- lose his re
ward.”
As we grow wiser and have more
to say. we talk less.
There always has been and there
always will be, fools enough to sup
port any cunningly executed hum
bug.
Patience and laziness are some
times confounded, Mid the mistaken!
not unnutuial, for 1 often notice that
those who have a good deal of either
have a fair supply of the other.
1 have finally c une to the conclu
sion thut if 1 can’t proven thing
without betting $50 omit, thu tiling
lias got a dleidlul weak spot in it
somewhere.
J am no prophet, nor the sou of
one, but 1 bet this—the man who
matches himself against the devil at
any kind of a game is going to gel
beat.
