Peas Three Tho usand Years Old.

In the course of late explorations in
the ancient ruins of Egypt, Gen. An
dersoD, an English traveller, found in.
closed in a sarcophagus beside a num-
my, few dry peas, which he preserved
carefully and, on his return to Great
Britain, planted in the rich soil of the
island of Guernsey. The seeds germin-
ated, and soon two little plants appeared,
from which, at maturity, sufficient peas
were gathered to plant qnite a large
tract Of ground in the following season.
Some of the plants thus raised have
attained a height of over six feet, and
have been loaded with blossoms OF
exquisite odor, and of delicate rose
tint. The peculiar feature of the
growth is the stem, which is small
near the root, bat increases in size as
it ascends, requiring a support to
sustain it upright. The pods, instead
of being distributed around all por-
tions of the stem, as in the ordinary
plant, are grouped about the upper
extremity.
The vegetable, it is said, belongs to
the ordinary garden variety; but from
its presenting the very distinctive diff
ferences above noted, it seems worthy
of close botanical examination. The
peas are of remarkably fine flavor, ex-
ceiling in delicacy those of the choicest
known varieties.

The Pie.

Pie is the bane OF the American house-
hold, the lurking devil OF the cupboard.
It beguiles childhood by seductive ap-
peals to the uneducated palate, and by
gradually vitiating the taste it becomes
cherished weakness of the adult, in
the end, if adhered to, banishing all the
peace and Joy of the head, heart and
stomach. OF mince pie close observer
has not inaptly said " Moist and indi-
gestible at the bottom, faky and indi-
gastible on top, with untold horrors
between" Other pie has the e1crucia-
ting characteristics of mince, with a
difference in the degree of the horrors
deftly hidden between the upper and
neither crusts. And this concentrated
dyspepsia is carried everywhere. The
poor child is allowed by thoughtless
parents to take pie to school and MUNICH
it six times day, thus darkening its
whole future. Married couples become
sour and morose, and at last separate.
They pronounce the cause imcompati-
bility of temper. They are wrong; it
is pie. Promising homes are broken
up; the young man goes out into the
world in anger and the old mans curse
follows him. Pie again on both sides.
What an absurdity for reformer who
carries in his shrunken face the distort-
ing tell tale marks of pie to rave about
narcotics and stimulants. Eradicate the
imp of the larder and there will be one
less influence at work to drive young
men to seek the imp which lies in the
bottle. Let us have genuine cookery
reform.

for the sale and distrib ltion of his Real Es-
tate, in which. BY the way, he has long been

ume on hand, some 5000 worth, and has
ordered its publication to be discontin-
ued. Mr.. Holmes, who has been one
of the chief actors in the cabinet
seances, was at one time the editor Of a
Baptist religious journal in Georgia
From his doings here, and information
which has recently been received con-
corning certain Irregularities in London,
it is very evident that he has fallen
from grace. "Katie King" who was
forced into this business by poverty, is
much to be pitied, for she long felt the
wickedness of deception on such sub
ject, and is now suffering all the pangs
of remorse. Even those whom by her
course she has SO deceived feel that the
young woman is deserving of sympathy
instead of condemnation, and all stead
lastly refuse to divulge her name, giving
as a reason that the poor woman has
already suffered enough. The Holmes
seances have not yet closed, and the
mediums still persist in their assertion
that they will yet show "Kate King
under the most strict test conditions.
If the spirit of the original "Katie
King" was really materialized through
Florence Cook in London, as Prot.
Wallace and DIR. Crooks both testify,
there is no reason why she cannot APP
pear again but even if the Holiness 8
should in time exhibit a materialized
spirit, it would not prove that the 'Ka-
tie King" of last summer or this fall
was anything but flesh and blood. The
evidence against them is 80 convicting
that it cannot be disproved by future
testimony, which can only relate to the
past by analogy philadelphia Press.

No UNCERTAIN SoUND.-When q man
discovers a great truth, it is his duty to
proclaim it to his fellow-man. Tie use
of DR.. Walkers Vinegar Bitters cannot
be too strongly recommended to the in
valid public. To those who have tried
it, nothing need be said-their expert
ence is their proof, pure and positive as
Holy Writ. To those who have not
tried it, these truths cannot be too often
repeated. 1t is a certain vegetable
specific, which aids faltering nature
against the triumphs of dyspepsia, bill
ions disorders of every kind, malarious
fevers, constipation OF the bowels, liver
complaint, spring and fall debility, etc.
1t costs but little, and can always be at
hand. 1t is the poor mans friend. It
saves doctors bill, and the time lost
in riding five, ten or twenty miles after
him ; besides being free from all the
poisonous medicaments of the pharma
copeia. 1t will not stimulate you to-
day to leave you weaker tomorrow,
Its benefits are permanent.
