Bassuage, in bis history Of the dispersion
Of the Jews, relates the following little bus j..
mess transaction which took place at the
founding of Alexandra, between the Egyp
tiaas and the Jews; Alexander the great
sent a coloay Of Jews to people Alexandria,
and h. granted them equal privileges with
the Macedonans. II is said that the Egyp.
taus appeared before Alexander and reques.
ted that the Jews might be forced to reim-
burse the value of gold, silver ana precious
stones which t5eir ancestors had lent them
at their departure from Egypt under Moses,
The Jews allowed the business of the claim
Of the Egyptians, and consented to pay them,
provided that they too, would satisfy their
demands for the services Of 400 years which
their fathers had rendered to the Egyptiaas,
Alexander decided that the claims tie Egyp
tiaus and Jews Balanced each other The
latter are 50 assured Of the truth Of this tra-
ditiou, atthey parpetnate the memory Of
this decision by yearly festival in the month

How TO PRESERVE FRUITS AND FLOWERS.
"A friend has just informed US that fruit
and flowers may be preserved from decay
and fading by immersing them in solution
of Gum Arabic In water two or three times,
waiting sufficient time between each INNER
sion to allow the gum to dry. This process
covers the surface of the fruit with a thin
coating Of gum which is entirely impervious
to the air, and thus prevents the decay Of
the fruit, or the wthering of The flower
Our friend has roses thus preserved which
have all the beauty and fragrance of freshly
plucked ones, though they have been separ-
ated from the parent stem since June last.
To insure success in experiments of this
kind, it should be borne in mind that the
whole surface mast be completely covered !;
for ifthe air only gains entrance at pin hole,
the labor will be lost. In preserving speci-
mems Of fruit, particular care should be ta-
ken to cover the stem, end and all, with the
gum. A good way is to wind the thread of
silk about the stem, and then sink it slowly
in the solution, which should not be SO
strong as to leave particle Of the gum un.
dissolved. The gum is SO perfectly trans
parent that you can with difficulty detect it
presence except by the touch.
Here we have another simple method o
fixing the feeting beauty Of nature, and sur
rounding ourselves ever with those object
which do most elevate the mind, refine th
taste, and purify the heart.-Coantry Ge0
