The WALL OF CHNA.-The wall of
China is a greater wonder than the Pyr-
amids of Egypt, and must have been
heavy drain on the wealth and labor of
the Empire when it was built Mr..
Seward has some interesting comments
on it: The Chinese have been for two
or three thousand years wall-making
people. It would bankrupt New York
or Paris to build the walls of Pekin.
The great wall of China is the great
wall of the world. 1t is forty feet high.
The lower thirty feet is of hewn lime
stone or granite. Two modern carriages
may pass each other on the summit. 1t
has a parapet throughout its whole
length, with convenient staircases, but
tresses, and garrison houses at every
quarter of a mile, and runs, not by cut
ting down hills and raising valleys, but
over the uneven crests of the mountains
and down through their eorges, a dis
lance of one thousand miles. Admiral
Rodgers and calculated that it would
cost more now to build the great wall
of China, through its extent of one
Thousand miles, than il has cost to build
the fifty-five thousand miles of railroads
in the United States. What a COM

Egg Charms.

The belief in the charms of serpents'
eggs existed, until very recently, in
Cornwall and Wales. This idea is traced
back to the ancient Romans, who held
in high estimation the eggs of serpents,
elected when kissing, and when the
snakes had been entwined together. It
was believed of them that they ensrr-
ed success, and the test of their genu-
ineness was in their floating against the
current of stream. The old Druils
impressed it upon the minds of their
followers that they must be ready to
catch them in a cloak, SO as not to let
them touch the grouud, and then in
stantly flee from the place on horseback.

Food for Poultry.

Cayenne pepper, mustard or ginger,
can with great benefit be added to the
food of fowls, to increase their vigor
and stimulate egg producing.
This apparently artificial diet will be
seen to be natural if we remember TINT
birds of the gallinaceous species get
access to very many highly spiced ber-
y. game flavor" to their flesh. The or
binary food of the domestic fowls is
not, indeed, without such addition. as
there is more or less of an aromatic
principle in wheat, Indian corn and all
other grains. Nevertheless, it is not
sufficient in quantity to supply the
place OF the stronger spice, taste for
which is part of fowls inherited con-
stltutlon. A moderate quantity of
cayenne. ETC., added to the ground
grain is always productive of health and
thrift in poultry,

Origin Of the Cereals.


1t is matter of interest, says the
Germantown Telegraph, That most of
our cultivated grains can not be traced
to their origin. The ont has been
found wild, and Observation-Disclosures,
though not in as perfect condition for
agricultural uses rs the forms we grow.
still there is no doubt that the cultivat-
ed and wild forms aro the same. OF
wheat no form has ever been found that
any one could say was the parent of our
kind and botanists believe that either
wheat has so widely diverged from the
wild original that the relationship can
not now be detected, or that the wild
original has entirely disappeared from
the earth's surface. The last position
is the generally accepted one; though
quarter OF century or more ago q
French gentleman tried series of ex-
periments by which he concluded he
had raised wheat from wild grass of
that country, by successive selections
through several generations. These
observations, however, do not seem to
have carried weight with them, rs we
see no reference made to them by those
eminent men who have been recently
discussing the question.
Our Indian corn seems to be more of
mystery than any of the others, for
no one has ventured an opinion that we
know, as to whether it is an improved
race from some wild thing now lost, or
the original wild plant itself, destroyed
by nature, though preserved by man.
1t was found by our old world emf
grants when they first landed here, in
cultivation by the natives, but nowhere
wild. This was especially the case
with the Indians of Central America :;
but even the northern Indians, or at
least the squaws grew corn. The Win
nebag0es and other tribes about Lake
Michigan made corn culture an especial
feature, using shells in the place of
spades and hoes, and to this day the
remains Of their councillors (holes
in sandy ground) and corn-hills are
among the most interesting of their re-
mains. Corn is found in China now
but whether it was known there before
the intercourse of Europeans with them
does not appear conclusive, as the evil
dence conflicts but it would be inter-
esting TO- know this for certain. It
would hot only throw light ON the na-
tive country Of the Indian corn, but
perhaps help those who are studying
Indian antiquities also.
