KEST-EGGGOURD. SOURDS DISH-CLOTH GOURD.—The pecu-liar lining of this fruit, which is sponge-like, porous, tough, elastic and durable, makes a natural dish-cloth. The fruit grows about two fflength, and the vine is verv ornamental, producing clusters of large yellow blossoms, in pleasiijcontrast with a silvery-shaded dark green foliage. Many ladies prefer this dish-cloth to anythingthat can be made. For the bath and for all uses of the toilet in general the Dish Rag Gourd istaking the place of the sponge. It is, in fact, a sponge, a soft brush and a bath-glove combinedand are almost indestructible, for the fibre wears away almost imperceptibly and as long asany part is left thev are as good as new. Even Avith daily use they will last for years, and tak-ing into consideration that a packet of seed contains sufficient to raise at least 30 to 50 gourdsand the different uses it can be applied to around the house, it is something everyone shouldgrow. In the North the seed should be started in a hot-bed.
