INsEoTs.-Commerce brings to mar
ket almost everything that has being in
the water, on the earth and in the air
from the whale that spouts and foams
in the great deep, to the tiniest insect
that exists in the land. A late writer
remarks, with much justice, that, 1.-THE
importance of insects to commerce is
scarcely ever treated of. Great Britain
does not pay less that a million dollars
annually for the dried carcass of tiny
iEsect-the cochineal. Gum shellac.
another insect product from India, is of
scarcely less pecuniary value. A million
and half of human beings derive their
sole support from the culture of silk, and
the silk worm alone creates an annual
circulating medium of one hundred and
fifty to two hundred millions of dollars.
Half a million of dollars are spent an
nually in England alone for foreign hon.
ey ten thousand hundred weight of
wax is imported into that country each
year. Then there are nutgalls of CON-
merce, used for dyeing, and in manufac-
ture of inks, etc., while the cantharides,
or Spanish fly is an important insect to
the medical practitioner.

BRANCHING CORN.


INGENIOUS Comtrtcances for Soindling
Fdrmers-A acorse Fraud than Bar
num's Mermaid.
An interesting investigation took place
at the Gazette office few days since,
being no less than the dissection of the
sample stalks of Judson's branching corn
which has been sold to the agent opera
ting at this point.
1t was rumored some days previous
that there had been fraud and deceit
practiced III the branching corn business
in the manufacture of sample stalks
bearing four, five and six full grown
ears. These samples we're sold by Mr..
Judson at enormous figures to agents
canvassing for the sale of packages of
corn, and the wonderful stalks were such
strong and undeniable proof of the va
riety's prolific nature, that every sucker
who occasionally heard that "like pro.
duces like" at once invested stamps in
Judson's corn. Mr.. Stewart of this city,
was swindled into purchasing consider
able territory and several of the wonder
full stalks-paying as high as $25 each,
for the latter.

art determined to investigate, hence the
dissection of his samples. Briefly, the
result of the examination was about al
follows: One sample having four ear
was made up of two stalks neatly Joined
in a joint, having pine dowel-pi abou
eight inches long to give the splic
strength. Each original stalk having
two ears to begin with, the allianc

BEN FRANKLTN'S TESTIMONY
AGAINST BEER.

Franklin was at one time employed in
a printing office in London The follow
ing statement appears to be his autobi-
ography:
ION my entrance | worked first as a
rressman, conceiving that had need of
bodily exercise. to which had been ac-
cu~tomed in America, where the printers
work alternately as compositors and at
the press. | drank nothing but water.
The other workmen, to the number of
about fifty, were great drinkers of beer.
l carried occasionally large form of let
tiers in each hand up and down stairs,
while the rest employed both hands to
carry one. They were surprised to see,
by this and many other examples, that
the american aquatic. as they used to
call me, was stronger than those who
drank porter. The beer boy had suffi-
cient employment the whole day in serv-
ing that house alone. My fellow press
man drank every day a pint of beer be-
fore breakfast and dinner, one at dinner,
one again about six o'clock in the after
noon, and another after he had finished
his days work. The custom appeared
to me abominable but he had need, he
said, of all his beer, in order to acquire
strength to work.
| endeavored to convince him that
bodily strength furnished by beer could
only be in proportion to the solid part
of the barley dissolved in the water of
which the beer was composed; that there
was larger portion of flour, in penny
loaf; and that if he ate his loaf and
drank his pint of water with it, he would
derive more strength from it than from
a pint of beer. This reasoning, however,
did. not prevent him from drinking his
accustomed quantity of beer, and paying
every Saturday night a score of four OF
five shillings week for this cursed bev.
erage; an expense from which l was
wholly exempt. Thus do these poor
devils continue all their lives, in state
of voluntary wretchedness and poverty.

GREEN PEA Soup IN WINTER AND
SpR1Ne.-Here is suggestion for house.
wives, from an English gardener who
usually talks of what he knows: Sow
peas thickly in pots and boxes, say six
weeks before the soup is wanted. Place
them in a temperature 60 deg. or SO,
close to the glass in house or pit. Cut
the plants as soon as they attain hight
of from three to five inches, and rub
them through sieve. The shoots alone
will make a fair soup. Mix them with
dry peas, also passed through sieve,
no one could scarcely distinguish color
or favor from that of the real green pea
soup. There is. however, considerable
difference in the flavor of pea leaves, as
well as in the peas themselves. The
best marrows, such as Ne Plus Ultra
and Feitche's Perfection, yield the most
piquant cuttings. Also the more light
the plants receive the higher the flavor,
plants drawn up, or at all blanched, be-
ing by no means comparable with those
well and strongly grown.
In the spring, a few patches or rows
may be sown In open quarters expressly
for green cuttings. These are most per.
feet and full favored when four inches
high. When too long, the flavor seems
to have run to wood, and the peculiar
aroma of green peas is weaker.
There is yet another mode of making
green pea soup at any season at very
short notice. Chip the peas by sleeping
them in water and leaving them in
warm place for a few days. Thel
slightly boil or stew, chips and all
and pass them through sieve. Tn
flavor is full and good, though such pc
soup lacks color It is astonishing hoy
much the mere vegetation of seeds de
velops their more active and predomi
, nant flavor or qualities fact tina
might often be turned to useful accoun
in the kitchen in the favoring of sou
or dishes, with turnips, celery, parsley
sc
