TO-DAY'S MISCELLANY.
. In all the miraculous chemistry of nature there is surely nothing more wonderful than, the magic which from the desert sand, the Bunlight, and a little water pro duces the date palm with its amazing burdon of golden fruit. That the date which reaches Eng- lind is not the date that"you"may" Dat at Biskra or Toggurt in Algaria' or at Tozeur (the contre of a million palm-) and many another place in Tunis is hoc use the perfectly ripé date is a thing too ethereal for the rude usos of commerce. When tompted to grumble because the lower layer of dates in the hox which you buy is composed of palo, spiritlers, pobble-like things, very different from the golden-tawiy luscious- noss of the fruit on top (i:king the fin ers after touching them la permitted by the very best books on tiquette), consider that if a box wore filled with dates each. one of which had been allowed to ripen fully on the tree its contents would be no more than a squashy conglomerate, edible only with a epoon. So you must go to Africa to know dates in perfection, The importance of data as an article of commerce is shown by the fact that in the great caros of the Rhir-the region of which Tag urt, in Altoria, is the centre there are now in the neighbour. hood of 2,000,000 palms, produc ing annually some 61,000 tons of asts; and therultivation is grow. ing rapidly, owing ebiefly to the
