The "Nuts" OF the Old Testament.

Twice in the authorized version of the
Old Testament mention is made of
"nuts." AS by nuts in our own vernacu-
lar, when differential adjective or the
name of country is not prefxed, we
understand always the product of the
Corylus Avellana, it may be interesting
to see what very different things are in
tended in .he two Scriptual references.
In the authorized version of the Song of
Solomon" the great naturalist to whom
the authorship of this curious poem is
very generally ascribed says: 81 went
down into the garden of nuts" This
garden would seem to have been one of
the many of the same kind mentioned in
the Book of Ecclesiastes, also ascri5ed to
Solomon, though not proved to have
come from his pen, when he informs us
that l made me gardens and orchards,
and l planted trees in them of all kinds"
(ii. 81 The word employed in the Song is
egos. In meaning it seems to have de-
noted, primarily, nut of any descrip-
tion whatever, provided that the sense
was qualified by some prefix or adjunct.
When used alone, on the other hand,
there can be little doubt that it denoted
the walnut-the nut par ercellence. The
walnut being a native of Persia, the i'm
portatiOn of it into Palestine took place
probably at a very early period. A tree
so remarkable alike for excellent produce,
scent of foliage, and handsome appear
ance, could not possibly escape the notice
of the early cultivators of plants, or be
left to exist exclusively in its native
country. Solomon's great love of COM
mercial enterprise would be sufficient to
account for the introduction of it, at all
events, into the royal gardens of Jerusa-
lem. AT the present day this admirable
tree occurs in an apparently indigenous
state everywhere, from Persia to the
Himalayas, abounding especially in
Cashmere. 1t is found also in Asia
Minor and in Greece, looking in both
countries like native. Introduced into
Britain most probably by the Romans, so
completely has it now made itself at
home with us that one might also be
tempted sometimes to think it aboriginal.
In the time Of Josephus it grew in pro-
fusion round the Lake of Gennesaret.

How Nevada Indians Keep Warm.

The bowling winds and drifting snow
plays sad havoc with the comforts of the
Piutes, and their tepees are hardly
adequate to keep out winters chill
blast. An average Indian can extract
as much warmth from rabbit-skin robe
and half dozen sticks of firewood as
white man can from the genial heat ofa
patent stove. They say: Ingin build
little fre-get all round 'em; white
mans fire 80 big can't come near 'em |;
The present cold weather is too much for
their philosophy, and drives them forth
from their wigwams looking for some
more substantial shelter. A favorite
resort for them at present are the dump
piles at the furnaces. The Stag -wheelers
leave a pot Of Stag TO cool before empty
ing it, aud in consequence there is
always kettle of moulton iron standing,
which throws considerable heat, and
the Piutes congregate in crowds around
it, taking advantage of what they un-
doubtedly consider. special despcnsa-
tion in their favor. Last winter they
established q permanent camp on the
Eureka Consolidated dump, and re-
mained there until the advent of warm
weather.

The Value of a Diplomatic with Long
Nose.
NEW York Tribupe,I

While General Jewell was our Minis
ter in Russia he visited the tanneries of
that country and found out the secret of
the Russia leather, beloved of book dew
otees. The secret is the result of the
use of birch bark tar with which the
skins are dressed in place of tallow and
grease, the latter substance being 30
largely used as food among the lower
classes. This tar, which is carefully saved
as it exddes from the wood when burned,
was first used as substitute for wheel
grease in Russia, as it is to-day, and then
for the filling and dressing of skins. BY
a system OF careful inquiry, and literally
following his nose during his visits to
some of the great Russia tanneries and
curriers' shops, Mr.. Jewell found this
compound in a great kettle ready for
use, and thus the mystery was solved.
1t is not expensive, costing about ten
dollars barrel, and he Immediately or.
dered ten barrels and sent them to vari-
GUS leading leather manufacturers in
this country with instructions, and the
result is that genuine Russia leather
goods are now made in America, and
doubtless will soon be sold at nearly fifty
per cent. below former prices.

Miss SMILEY, the Quaker evangelist,
writes very earnestly against the idea OF
instant sanctifcation, and speaks OF the
Christian life rs constant warfare
against sin. She points out the results
in the live. of those who fall into the
error which she 80 strenuously opposes,
and encourages the only scriptural idea,
that the Christian Is TO overcome daily
and hourly, that he may attain to the

CLARA NORRIS is superstitious. At
the last rehearsal of q new piece she
often picks up the nails on the stage |; If
she finds an odd number she is firmly
convinced that she will have good luck
during her engagement; il an even num-
Der she looks out for trouble. Knowing
of this feeling the manager of the Union
Square Theater took pains to put three
n nails on the stage at the last rehearsal Of
Miss Mutton" and to clear away all
others. She found them and was re-
joiced, but dsmay seized her moment
afterwards on picking up three other
nails-making six in all. Her husband
had been at the same game with the
manager, and taey had thwarted each
other. The run of the piece was unlucky,
being interrupted by the Brooklyn fire
and by the serious illness Of Miss
Morris.

A House With a History.

The Winterton House in London was
large, rambling edifice. 1t was for
many years inhabited by very eccen-
tric lady, who died at an advanced age.
She had one daughter, who married
against her mothers wishes. When the
guests left the room in which the we'd
ding breakfast had been given, the old
lady ordered the shutters to be closed
and the doors to be locked, and from
that day to the day of her death the room
was never opened. BY peeping through
the keyhole could be seen the table laid
out with the plate and china, just as they
had been left by the wedding party. The
food had crumbled into dust, but in the
center stood the immense wedding cake,
with its sugar figures and orange bios

Indian Fighting Of the Future.

Following is a brief account of
some military operations in the In
dian wal OF the future: At daylight
yesterday morning the troops arrived
within sight of the lava beds occupied
by the enemy-two In a bed-and
Smelling was begun. The battery
did good execution here, for after the
action three agents and reservation
storekeeper were found dead on the
field. A CALLING fire was soon after
ward poured into our right by some
three hundred contractors, com
manded by clerk in the Interior
Department, but they were speedily
Ydislodged By the cavalry, and would
doubtless have been all exterminated
or captured but for the timely arrival
of their reserves, the post-traders and
mounted Quakers, who covered their
retreat and held our men in check.
The latter committed unspeakable
atrocities at this point, all the wound
ed being killed and all the dead
mutilated. Similar barbarities were
committed on the left during a tenn
porary advantage gained By band of
Congressman over the infantry-the
prisoners being scalped to the neck
and turned loose amid the jeers of
their devilish captors. Several New
England editors falling into our
hands near this place were shot in
retaliation, meeting their fate with
the steical Indifference of their race.
The engagement becoming general,
the enemy su.lenly refined up the
canyon, leaving many ponies, hymn
books and bales of shoddy blankets,
some whisky and several barrels Of
wax beads, ten volumes of Depart
ment Instructions, and countless
commissions with the Presidents sig
nature. A number of abandoned
wigwams and women are among the
spoils. The tends are now strongly
posted III the pass, where we shall
attack them again to-morroa, for the
commanding general has reason to
believe q tribe of missionaries and a
hundred lodges of schoolmasters are
Fastening to join them. There is
considerable idle speculation in
camp as to the whereabouts Of the
Indians Argonaut.
