The First Use Of the Tomato.

OF the introduction of the tomato into
the United States a correspondent gives
the following account. Captain Phineas
Eldridge was a resident OF Philadelphia
in 1893. During the San Domingo wars
between the negroes and the whites many
of the latter fed to the United States,
and the more careful and enterprising
brought fruit and seeds peculiar to that
island with them. A Frenchman named
Nicalc, with his family, became a resi-.
dent OF Philadelphia in 1898, and occu :
pied q lot next to Capt. Eldridge, Nj
Gallo and family brought a variety of
seed with them, which they sowed and
cultivated. among which was the tomato.
Capt. Eldridge and family became ac-
quainted with the fruit and its uses by
their intimacy with the Nicalo family.
They dressed and used it as e salad, and
were fond Of it. Other neighbors pro-
cured the seed, but cultivated it merely
as an ornament, many being under the
impression that it was poisonous. The
tomato was used as an article of food in
New Orleans in 1912. They were not,
however, sold in the markets, even in
Philadelphia, until 1929. The French
refugees from San Domingo introduced
many new and excellent plants and veg
etables and cultivated them in the gar
dens Of Maryland, Delaware and other
places near the shores of the Ohesa.

EIEectual Fly Remedy.

A restaurant keeper in the Allegheny
Diamond, Pa, like many others, has
been infested with flies. Patent gum
paper, poison, everything known to fly
exterminating science has been tried,
but still they come. Sunday last was a
good day TO experiment. The room,
with closed doors and windows, was q
perfect buzz Of flies. A train OF very
fine gunpowder was laid in narrow strips
over the floor, and the spaces between
the strips we're carefully painted with
molOsses. In an incredibly short time
all the flies in the room seemed to be on
the floor, enjoying the luxurious repast
so temptingly set before them. II was
but the work Of an instant, a fash, a
cloud Of smoke, the work was done, and
the result, when carefully weighed, was
two pounds three ounces of fly carcass.
The proprietor of the restaurant is hap
py, and is about to apply for apatent on
the new process.

ing some one. During the war her
only son, a young man upon whom she
fairly dotted, was killed in one OF the
hottest engagements, and the news Of
his death SO preyed upon her mind as
to disturb the poor woman's reason.
Ever since then she goes TO the depot
once or twice a week TO meet the in
coming trains, in the hope that he will
come to her. At ether times and on all
other subjects she seems entirely sane,
but she sometimes thinks that her son
will come back, and to satisfy the hope
that never dies, and in the depth of that
love which never fades, the poor mother
continues to 60 on her sad mission with
as much earnestness as though she were
performing a solemn religious duty.

John Randolph vanquIshed.


Rev. Leroy NJ. Lee, the well.known
Virginia divine, in an account Of the
characteristics Of the great statesman Of
Roanoke, gives this account Of the nan.
ner in which the noted Virginian was
defeated at his own game by a neighbor
Mr.. Randolph was not always victor
in the petty diScords OF the neighbor.
hood. He was vanquished once, on a
field Of his own selection, by a quiet,
resolute neighbor; and he confessed him.
self, not in so many words, but by his
actions, as beaten at his own game. The
locality must be described: The land OF
Mr.. II. lay broadly between Bushy
Park and the courthouse, and the land
OF Bnshy Park lays as broadly between
the residence OF Mr.. II. and the mill OF
the neighborhood on Staunton river
There were two roads 10 the courthouse
for Mr.. Randolph; one, the longer and
worse, was the stage road from the court
houseto the river; the other, shorter and
better, through the lands Of Mr.. H.
There were two roads to the mill fof
MIR. H.; the shorter and better one
through Bushy Park, and the stage road
TO the river and then along its low, fat
and muddy banks TO the mill. These
private roads had been open and free
from olden time.
One morning the mill boy returned to
the house and informed Mr.. II. that the
old way to the mill was cut of. Mr..
Randolph had erected a strong post and
rail fence across the road, and there was
no opening in the fence on either side
for a long distance. Everybody went TO
mill, and everybody soon found out the
fact Of the fence in the way. The one
conclusion Of all was the same. II was
n Of Nh. Randolph's freaks. Beyond,
and deeper in the woods than the pri.
vate road to the mill, was the private
road to the courthouse. When on the
next court day Mr.. Randolph passed out
Of the woods on his own premises into
those of Mr.. H. he was confronted with
a fence ten rails high, with stakes and
riders at every pamela formidable OBJ
stacle in his way, and extending right
and left as far as his eyes could reach.
He took in the situation, and, as he was
alone, it is not known that he made any
remarks, Or whether they we're sharp
pointed or not. Months passed away.
The situation was not changed. Incon-
v~enience, trouble, evaporation grew
and multiplied as the time heightened.
Late one morning Mr.. Randolph, just
arrived, riding across the courtyard, met
Mr., f., and checking his horse, lean.

teous bow: 'Mr. H., if you'll let me go
to court I'll let you 60 TO MILL
Certainly, Mr.. Randolph, with plea

Yes, sir; and I'll end it,
In a few days strong, wide gates, over
each road, swung freely to every one
who had occasion to 60 through in
either direction.

The best time 10 castrate the male pig
is at from four TO six weeks Of age; OF,
at least, before weaving time. They
seldom suffer any perceptible check in
their growth when the operation is per-
formed at this time, and they will be
much more easily managed than il per-
mitted 10 run entire. The sexual desire
is developed very early in the male pig;
and, when a lot Of young bears are per-
mitted to run together, their frettiDg
not unfrequently ~serioualy retards
growth. Besides, the danger from cas-
tration increases with the age OF the pig
after he is six weeks old.

one at hand without knowing il. Just
take three old fashion copper cents, or
FIVE u the present two.cent pieces, or
ten OF the present nickel cents, and we
have at once a good ounce weight. A
nickel cent piece may be considered q
good forty four grain weight. Some

other medicine bought from a medicine
store is 4sO grains, but not So on ounce
by buying and selling weight, whether
IL be madeline or anything else, is just

DwelIers In Tents.

In these frAil houses which are not our home,
Joumeying toward q refuge that Is sure
A rest secure.
Only q little while
We dread the frown Of life, and court lie emile
A dwelling then We have, not made with hands,
In other lands.
Therefore, We need not mourn,
That sudden clouds across our skies arc borne
That winter ehills us, and the storm makes
rents
In our frail tents.
Therefore, we need not fear,
Though moth and rust corrupt our treasure

Though midnight thieves creep in with silent

To seize our wealth.
For, in our Fathers house.
A mansion fair He has prepared for us;
And only till His voice shall call US hence,
We dwell In tents. r,.

Organdie muslin dresses mostly have

Bustles ere again considered necessa-

For HOrsemen.

There is no such thing as a full. blood
Morgan horse; neither is there any such
thing as afull-blood Hambletonian, full
blood Messenger, etc. These are mere
ly family names, and nos the names of
breeds Of horses. The Morgan horses
take their name from q stallion foaled
about 1893, and owned by Justin Nor
gan. His pedigree has always been in
volved in some o%bscurity, and has been
the subject Of much controversy. The
descendants Of this horse have all been
called Morgan horses; but as q matter
Of course they all possess more or less
OF blood other than that derived from
this horse. Had in-breeding been prac-
ticed with the descendants Of this horse
ss it has been with some families Of
short-horn cattle, we should have had
horses possessing but little Of blood
other than was derived from this horse
but il would have been impossible 10
produce an animal without any admix-
ture Of other blood. Hence it may
safely be said that the man who claims
TO have o full-blood Morgan horse is
either very ignorant, or else he INDUCES
in such talk with intent TO deceive.
