Back in the main road, we stopped to rest at a point covered with a sensitive plant so delicate that, on stepping on it anywhere, the nervous thrill, if that is what it is, would run three or four feet or more in all directions before dying down. From this point we turned north, our way taking us through a broad open valley, past rice-fields and between clumps of flowering guava bushes.

The Professor was the first to make his appearance with a small yellow pear, which he held up. "What have you found now?" George inquired, as he came running forward with a branch in his hand. "Pears!" exclaimed Harry, as he took it from the Professor's hand. "Not exactly a pear; but a fine fruit which we can use to good advantage. It is the guava." "What a beautiful white flower!

We had boiled chickens at the top, and roast chickens at the bottom, and we had roast ducks on both sides, and the great bowl of turtle soup was in the middle, with two jugs of lime punch each side, and we had guava jelly in two places, and a pumpkin pie, and roasted yams, and rice and fruit mixed together of all kinds. In fact, it was a perfect Lord Mayor's feast.

Everett's story of the Guava jelly, which was recommended to invalids, but would "not materially injure those who are well," we may add to what we have said, that all readers of this volume will find valuable suggestions in it for the enlightenment of the gospel narratives. Theologians who differed fundamentally from Dr.

There are also a variety of the lizard species, with the guava, and camelion.

If there is a better guava jelly produced anywhere, I should be pleased to sample it, more pleased to obtain a supply. But there is a difference in the product even there, just as there is a difference in currant or grape jelly produced here. It depends a good deal on the maker.

As the time went on, she worried harder. Two babies one wheeling the other! What was Evangeline but a baby? Miss Theodosia took the two little surviving Flaggs to her own home and plied them with goodies many goodies. She unearthed from hiding-places candied ginger and guava jelly; she invented toys for the deaf little Flagg and occupations for Stefana.

When I saw you just now I was trying to brace up on a guava. Listen to me: I am hungry!" "You poor little thing " "Sympathy satisfies sentiment but appetite prefers oranges. Shall we eat oranges together and become friendly and messy? Are you even that kind of a man? Oh, then if you really are, there's a mixed grove just beyond."

There is little native vegetation, the country being covered with cultivation and extensive groves of mango, and occasionally of guava. English vegetables are abundant and excellent, and the strawberries, which ripen in March, rival the European fruit in size, but hardly in flavour. During the few days spent at Mirzapore with my kind friend, Mr.

But I will nobly resist the temptation to tell egg stories and industriously catalogue the sour-sop, guava, grenadilla, aubergine or garden-egg, yam, and sweet potato. The sweet potato should be boiled, and then buttered and browned in an oven, or fried.
