The TOmatO-An Interesting His
tory.

Many OF our older readers will re-
member the time when the now uni
versally known and loved tomato was
stranger to our gardens and our Ia
bles. Forty years ago under the
name of Love Apple (Pomum Amoris),
it was cultivated only for curiosity,
and for the "amorous aspect or beauty
OF the fruit" It's history, like that Of
many important events, IS involved in
obscurity, and its birthplace, like that
Of the greatest of poets, is contested
by those, who have come to be its adj
mirers The weight Of evidence is in
favor of South America, with broad
margin for the location of the partic-
ular spot. Peru claims, it, as it does
some other noted productions highly
nutritious and medicinal. A Dutch
botanist, in 1853, describes it, under
the name of Tumattee, as grown in
the continental gardens, and says that
the fruit was eaten, dressed with pep
er, vinegar, aud oil; and it appears to
have been cultivated in England in
1856, where it acquired the name, or
was commonly known az the Love
Apple.
In Spain and Italy, also, it was
known at a very early date but there
is really no record, or tradition even,
as to the date when it was first en-
ployed as an esculent, or when the
European first discovered its luscious
qualities and came to the conclusion,
now so widespread, that a dinner
could not be served up without it. 1t
is now cultivated extensively in
France and Italy, where whole fields
of the plant are required to supply the
demands of the epicures of those
countries. But nowhere that we
know of has it become an article of
commercial interest and of export, ex-
cept In the United States. Here we
have planted, and nourished, and by
bridized, and crossed, and multiplied
it exceedingly, without distinction of
species of color, till its name is legion
and its varieties too numerous to
mention. We distinguish new varle-
ties as we do new towns, by the
names of popular military heroes;
and admirers judge of their qualities
as they do of the men whom they de-
light to honor. The General Grant
at present heads the list.

Sudden CHANGES.

The Propritors DowYs' ELIXIR frequently
here i, remarked by those not in the business
that cough medicines do not sell mnch during
the summer months. This is amlstakcn idea.
The sudden changes to which this, climate Is
subject At all seasons of the year, renders it
necessary to always have some rclible cough
remedy at hand. Downs ELIXIR is Il surc
cure for Coughs, Colds and Whooping Cough
and all Lung Diseases. when taken III season.
and one dose, we have no doubt, has many
times prevented consumption and death.
The best certificate that can be given for any
medicine is daily accorded to Downs ELIXIR
in the ac1 that it has survived the storm and
tempest of nearly half n century, and is to
day the most popular with those who have
known it longest. 1t has gained this great
favcr with the public entirely on its own NOR

New England Women,

/ think, says writer in the August
Atlantic, In an article with the above
head, the women Of New England
escape much Of that ayancc and
narrowness, that-somctlmcs-which
has been perhaps falsely called cheat
ing, which Is said by their enemies to
enter into the modern Now England
minds-tLe masculine half New
England women may be cold, may DO
forbidding, may plainly dressed, even
sour.isccd, but they arc not cheats
| think it is n talent they have not.
Now We all know after marriage the
life ola French ilirt begins. TO attract
men, to gain lovers and to DO admir-.
ed-to hightcn every beauty, to dress
tho foot becomingly to tint the check
and hair, to be coquette in every move
mcnt and action.-that is tho study Of
three quarters Of the female population
of the globe. One must believe, after
seeing the world widely, that it is the
average female mind that it is an in
stinct, not necessarily bad one,
though sometimes, it is to be feared,
leading TO other consequences than
good ones.
The typical New England women
know nothing Of this side of life II
is so far off from her that the temp
tation can scarcely be said to exist.
II does not come near enough to be
denied. The idea Of making herself
agreeable TO any man but her hus-
band Shc would sooner steal, murder,
poison. In fact, some ungenerous
critics have said of her that she has
the defect Of qualities, and does not
even make herself agreeable to him, but
this idea is repudiated. Imagine the two
contrasted lives The European wom-
an in her velvets and pearls, at 40,
busily enga ged in being fascinating.
She succeeds in looking perhaps, ten
years younger than she is. She has
felt much emotion in her day. She
can talk beautifully about her past,Iher
present and future. She classifes the
passions admirably. She is pre.cmin
emily the woman to invite to dinner
Whattact, what esprit, what cspiegleyie!
One must use French words to des-
cribe her. Who is her God ? Self
Who the first, last, ever present be-
ing to her ? Herself. She shuns suf-
fering, she abhors a wrinkle. Every
hour Of the day must have its amuse
ments. She may be very amiable,
do no wrong, be very comic rtable,
comforting, good woman in her way.
She would be miserable enuatyee with.
out love affair, but would consider
it wretched tast to 60 too far.
Where is the typical New England
woman at 40? She is where she has
always been, doing her duty. If she
wears velvet and pearls, it is under
protest: she may be obliged to do so
by an exsctlng and rich husband, but
she does not like it. She is thinking
of his business, his advancement, and
the boys education. Whether Darth.
mouth, Harvard or Yale-that is the
question. If she has daughters she
goes with them in the plainest gown
that will pass muster.
She in love with anybody! She de.
sirous of showing her foot land it
is aptto be very slender and very
pretty one-perish all such rubbish |!
She would not believe that such hor-
rible and wicked nonsense existed,
did she not read French novel oc-
casionally to SEQ if it were proper
that the girls might possibly read it.

tic medicine that can be employed: cleans
ing the stomach and bowels, and even the
blood. In small doses of one pill day,
they stimulate the digestive organs and
promote vigorous health.
AYERS PILLS have been known for
more than quarter of a century, and have
obtained a worldwide reputation for their
virtues. They correct diseased action in
the several aSsimilative organs Of the
body, and are so composed that obstruc-
tons within their range can rarely with
stand or evade them. Not only do they
cure the everyday complaints of every
body, but also formidable and dangerous
diseases that have baffled the best of
human skill While they produce power
full effects, they are, at the same time, the
safest and best physic for children. BY
their aperient action they grippe much less
than the common purgatives, and never
give pain when the bowels are not inAamed.
They reach the vital fountains ofthe blood,
and strengthen the system by freeing it
from the elements Of weakness.
Adapted to all ages and conditions in
all climates, containing neither calomel
nor any deleterious drug, these Pills may
be taken with safety by anybody. Their
sugar-coating preserves them ever fresh,
and makes them pleasant to take; while
being purely vegetable, no harm can arise
from their use in any quantity.
