Traced Hack to the Cave Dweller Around the Swlu JLake. Among the fruits of the rose family are apples, pears, peaches, plums, cher ries aud quinces, as well as strawberries, raspberries and blackberries. The apple is a fruit of long descent. Among the ruins of the Swiss lake dwellers are found remains of small seed apples, which show the seed valves and the grains of llesh. The crab apple is a na tive of Britain, and was the stock on which was grafted the choicest varieties when brought from Europe, chiefly France. Apples of some sort were abundant be fore the Conquest and had been introduced probably by the Romans. Yet often, as Saxon manuscripts speak of apples and cider, there is no mention of named va rieties before the 13th century. Then one may read of the pearmain and the i iard, Chaucer's "mellow costard." In the roll of household expenses of Eleanor, wife of Simon de Montfort, ap ples and pears are entered. Jn the year 121SG the royal fruiterer to Edward I pre sents a bill for apples, pears, quinces, medlars and nuts. Pippins, believed to be seedlings, hence called from the pips or seeds, are said not to have been grown in England before 1525. The exact Drayton, writing of the orchards of Kent at that period, can name only the apple, the orange, the russean, the sweeting, the pome water and the reinette. John Winthrop is usually held respon sible for the introduction of the apple into the new world. But as a matter of fact, when Winthrop anchored off cape Ann, the recluse Blackstone already had nipple trees growing about his cabin at Shawmut Neck. Some of the best of American apples were brought over by the Huguenots, who settled in Flushing, L. I., in 16G0, and planted there, among others, the pomme royale or spice apple. SHYEST PEOPLE KTVOWN. Knbui of Sumatra IT ever Talk With a Stranger. There is a very singular race of people in Sumatra, the Kubus, who are too tim orous and shy to mix with the other races of the island, and dwell in the recesses of the forests. They are looked on as inferiors by the Malays, and thought to be little better than beasts. Such is their shyness that they will never willingly face a stranger. Their trade with the Malayans is con sequently carried on in a strange manner. The trader announces his arrival by beat ing a ffonsr. and he then retires. The Kubus approach, put their forest treas ures on the ground, beat a gong, and retreat. The trader returns, and lays his com modities down in quantities sufficient, as he thinks, for the purchase of the goods on sale. Then he retires, and the Kubus reappear and consider the bargain. And so, after more withdrawals and approaches and gong beatings, the re spective parties come to an understand ing, and carry oft' independently their bargains. The Kubus live on snakes, grubs, fruits, and the flesh of any deer or pigs they can slay. They are skillful spearmen, and throw stones with marvelous ac curacy. Robbers.
