Something About the Vegetable that is Both
Loved and Dreaded.

Something About the Vegetable that Is Both
Loved and Dreaded.
From the Norwich Bulletin
AT this season Of the year when all Russia is
feasting on cucumbers and black bread, and
Germany is so numbered with this succulent
vegetable that English travellers cannot help
fancying that plague of them, like locusts,
has descended upon the face Of that portion of
the earth, the Yankee takes In their cooling,
refreshing odor with q tremor of fear and
feeling of caution, while majority of the doc
tors go about repeating Abernethy's recoipe for
its use-"Peel It, slice 1t, pepper it, vinegar It
and throw 10 out of the window" This Is
shameful treatment of venerable vege-
table which truthfully introduces itself as a
Tartar, yet cannot by the most ardent scrap
ing Of an acquaintance convince the consumer
that 1t is a native Of Tartary, and just what IL
pretends TO be. There is nothing hypercrti-
cal about a cucumber--it is honest. This
quality probably made the Israelites grieve
for 1t in the wilderness when they were ADAM
doning all other Egyptian idols. 1t made the
Hebrew children mourn, and II still retains
that glorious power over its devotees. Old
Diocles, of Carystus, which Is q town in
ancient Greece, wrote "If eaten with the FIRST
course cucumbes affect the head" but the
wise Greeks, TO prevent raid of orators and
reformed cucumber eaters, ate them in the last
course, when they were found to be wholesome
and to remain easy. PlDy, tho eder-that
indetatigable inquirer into tho works of ma
turo-discovered that IF oil was put within
four fingers Of cucumber IL would assume
tho curved form of hook by the next day."
which showed 1t was no Esquimaux and
not partial 10 sardines. And Lord Francis
Bacon in his day gave 1t as his opinion
(Which was always legal that Gu
cumbers overdrinketh themselves" evidence
ing that they had habits like some men Of
these modern days, that need reforming. But
while Bacon gave them repute for selfabuse,
Gerard called attention to their beneficial
qualities writing that cucumber diet for
three weeks would cure red and shining
fierce noses" Had this recommendation of
Gerard proved true, there is little room for
doubt that the cucumber would have grown
more and more popular among Anglo.Saxons,
as well MS all other races, up to the present
day. But IT ddn't. In its failure as a med
iCine the doctors fell to abusing it, DIR. Doran
putting it on par with scoke by saying, 1T
is only one remove from poison" The people
became afraid, and what the green apple is to
the small boy the cucumber has got to be to the
adult. 1t is symbol of business to the ply
stefan and of woe to the consumer. Those
who have not wrestled with it in all its glory
should not fail 10 try II this season. for only
those who have been anEointed with the balm
Of Giead can stand its scraping felicity with
out calling physician.

ALBANY (Ga) News
The following particulars we got from Mr..
George C. Watson, living near the home of tho
subject of the sketch A lady Of the seventh
district Of Worth County has become insane on
the subject of religion. Her fermentation was
first noticed about month ago, soon after the
close of protracted meeting at Union Baptist
Church, near her home. She attended the diff.
ferent services very regularly aud seemed
deeply impressed and troubled from their first
commencement. A short while before the
meeting closed she Joined the church.
Going back home, her incoherent, mad
dened and rambling conduct was noticed
by her husband aud children, and they be-
came terribly excited aud wrought up about
It, She went raving about the house and yard
with bucket of water, baptising everything
in her pathway. She baptised her husband
aud each one of her children, and while doing
this sang the most beautiful songs, that she had
heard but once or twice. Although an inlet
tered woman (her husband will swear this),
she reads any chapter in the Bible readily. pro-
nouncing correctly and distinctly, paying at
tention to punctuation points, &c. She breaches
nearly all the while, and, our informant says,
uses the choicest words and displays great wis
dom and knowledge in the handling of different
subjects Although not u Mason she knows
all the mysteries of that mysterious craft by
heart Dozens of Masons have gone 10 see her,
and they all come away dumbfounded. Her
husband has come to the conclusion that she
is witch. She has attempted acts Of violence,
but as yet done no harm. He, with outside
assistance, tried at one time to imcarccmtc her
in one of the rooms of the hous", but the doors
became unmanageabe and wouldn't stay
locked. She hasn't slept in eighteen days and
nights aud during that time has taken but
few morsels OF food. This is one of the
strangest cases we have ever heard of. Hun
dreds are 1ocking to see the frensied woman.
