The TOmato-Its HIstOry.1

An inquiry having been made in a late
number of the Historical Magazine, a
most valuable publication, by thu way,
for ell interested in the history, biography
or antiquities of America), concerning the
tomato, its history and introduction, a
correspondent gives some notes in reply,
saying the first tomato he remembered
was in some garden in Newport, r. l.,
among the flowers. They were called
Love Apples, and considered poisonous.
During the year 1909 or 1910 gentleman
from South Carolinn spent the summer in
Newport, and discovering the fruit in the
garden of his boarding house, asked the
landlady why she never had any Of her
fine tomatoes on the table. She was some
what surprised to fnd that by tomatoes
he meant her "Love Apples" which she
regarded rs poisonous, and grew them on
ly as an ornamental plant. He directed
her how to prepare them. But few were
eaten in the place for many years, except
by visitors from Georgia and South Caro-.
lima. The writer states that in 1922 he
resided in Bristol, r. l., and having a
small garden, wished to plant some toma-
toes, but the seed could not be found, un-
til at length he procured some from Phil.
adelphia by German gardener who was
ordering some from that place. Four
years later he removed to Providence, and
having no garden did not SOW them. 1t
was not seen in that place till 1928, when
it become more common. Being in New
Bedford, Massachusetts,, in 1929, no could
obtain none, and in 1880 sent to Phila-
detphis for more seed, after which it be.
came abundant in the vicinity.
We believe the tomato is q native of
Mexico, the name tomato signifying water
berry. At an earl y date it was introduced
to Florida from Mexico, and thence ex.
tended to the neighboring colonies.
Previous to 1881 We bad cultivated the
tomato as an ornamental plant, never hav-
ing heard Of its fruit being eaten. In the
Autumn Of that year, walking through
our gAFdeR With Ar. N. GOodSell he ex.
pressed his admiration of some beautiful
tomatoes then'fully ripe, and q desire to
have some Of them. For what purpose |?
we asked. "Why, to eat; don't you cat
themY On receiving a negative answer.
nc picked of half dozen, and told us to
peel and slice them, and eat them with
pepper, salt and vinegar, as we would Gu.
cumbers, and from that day to this, we
have never been without tomatoes when
they were to be had.

'RENRNBRRD AND MoURNED. D.-For every
man who falls in battle some one mourns
For every man who dies in hospital wards
and of whom no note is made, some one
moUrns. For the humblcst soldier shot
on picket, and of whose humble exit
from the stage of life little is thought,
some one mourns. Nor this alone. For
every soldier disabled; for every one who
loses an arm or leg, or who is wounded
or 'anguishes in protracted suffering; for
every one who has "Only camp fever
some heart blecds, some tears are shed.
In far of humble households, perhaps,
sleepless nights and anxious days ear
passed off which the world never knows ;
and every wounded soldier whe returns
to his family or friends brings lasting
pang with him. Oh, how the mothers
feel this war! If ever God is sad in
Heaven, it seems to me it must be when
ne looks upon the hearts Of mothers. We
who are young think little of it; neither
think, do the fathers or brothers think
much of it; but it is the poor mothers
and wives of the soldiers. God help
them!

WOMAN-From the earliest ages to the
iy worshiped as "angels," and reviIed as
cats and "serpents," according as they
have behaved to their adorers and detrac-
tors. Women puzzled King Solomon and
pcrplexed st. Paul, whose messages to his
female converts testify to the difficulty
some of them caused him In Our day,
however, every schoolboy seems to think
he can solve all the difficulties Of the wo-
man question-their natural tendencies,
possibilities and prospects in this life
Women. instead of being, as heretofore,
the rock on which wise men have split,
are now become little more than the blocks
which fools try to cut with their razors,
while waiting for their boards to grow.
What women have been We know pretty
vel; average human beings, ON the Hhole,
doing their duties as well as they knew
how, nurturing the qualities Of their bus
banns, their sons, or their brothers. They
have made themselves felt, as etIsctual
elements in the ordering Of human affairs.
There is no instance where man has BE-.
come great leader, either as general,
statesman or religious reformcr, who had
not some woman living at the root of his
inner life, fostering his ideas and his aims
with whom he has taken counsel-out
of whose thoughts he has derived nutri.
ment for his own thoughts-who has
helped him and believed in him, and ad-
vised him, and stuck TO him, when the
whole world seemed against him. Women
do not often achieve greatness for them
selves; but they are at the bottom Of all
that is good, and the most of what is bad,
in the world.

MORE HAY.'-An old gentleman who
was always Dragging how folks used to
work 10 his younger days. one day chal-
lenged his two sons to pitch on load Of
hay as fast as he could load it. The chal-
lenge was accepted, the hay wagon driven
round, and the trial commenced. For
some time the old man held his own very
cFeditably, calling out, More hay more
hayr
Thicker and faster it came. Fl. The old
man was nearly covered; still he kept
crying, more huyi more hay-i'
At length, struggling to keep on top of
the ilEarranged heap, It began first to roll,
then to slide, and at last off it went from
the wagon, and the old man with it.
What are you down here for p cried
the boys.
Il came down after hay!' answered the
old man, stoutly.

FRRNcH PoLITEXEsS DURING TIE GREAT
REvoLUHoN.-The manner Of address be-
twrSn man and man underwent little
change, because that is work Of time
1t continued civil and polite. The hat
was always in the hand in addressing q
lady by every Frenchman. Respect for
the bean sex" was kept up even among
the horrors Of the revolution. At FGIfc-
AOy, sdfie Years pfetiously, the English
Guards addressed the French Guards
Gentlemen Of the French Guards, give
~ YONr ere ITO which the French
Guards replied, 1--WE will not fire first :;
fire you first!" The same manners re.
mained in Paris even down to the time Of
She sAnguinary Robespierrc. During the
Reigp of Terror" as it was called, n
cart came daily to the prison to take to
the guilloIine the condemned of the day
preceding. "A gentleman was on the steps
to take his place when he perceived lady
closs behind him she was, like himself,
bound on her last, melancholy journey
The moment he perceived how he was
placed. ne begged to descend, took off his
hat apologized for his precipitancy in
attempting to lead the way, and then fol-
lowed her TO the gullotine. This was not
auectation, but the habit Of politeness
common at that time. We remember
seeing 1t among the lowest of the people
when .wewere there with the allied armies
after Waterloo. We fancied we saw less
Of 1t twelve or thirteen years afterwards.
The manners Of true gentleman are in.
nate; and those who try to initiate that
to which they are unaccustomed are GER
tain to fail. We take it there is q still
greater falling off in France from those
Cd manners in the present day. The late

RAILROADS. First used roar Newcas-
tle'upon-Tyne, about 1850; wooden rails,
four to eight inches square, resting upon
transverse slecpers two feet apart, we're
in use for many years, when rails of the
same description, covered with thin plates
Of iron, were substituted. The usual
load for one horse on railroads OF this de.
scription was AZ cwt Wooden railroads
were in pretty general use, to facilitate
mining operations, prior to the year l76o.
Train roads, with rails of cast iron, were
first introduced at Colebrook Dale iron
works, at the instance Of Mr.. Reynolds, in
1907; and at the Sheffield coIIiery in
l776. Stone props for the rails were sub
Stituted for timber in 1897 at Newcastle
upon Tyne. Edge rails were brought in
to Ise by Mr.. JesSop, in 1889, at Lough-
borough. Mallcable iron edge rails we're
adopted at Newcastle in 1905, and at Tin
dale Fell in 1908. The improved malea-
ble edge rail now in use, was invented by
Mr.. .Birkinsaw in 1920. A locomotive
engine propelled by steam, WAS employed
for the first time OH the Merthyn Tydvil
rail road, in Wales, in 1904. Blenkinsop's
locomotive engine, which operated by
means Of cOg-wheels and rack-rails, was
invented and applied on the Leeds rail
road in 1911. But the locomotive engine
that has obtained the greatest reputation,
and has been most generally adopted, is
that invented by Mr. George Stevenson in
1914. This engine has undergone a va
riety Of improvements since that time,
and is deemed more efficient than any of
its professionalism Planter and Me.
