It was only two days ago Jones was injudi- ciously full. Being painfully aware of his inc briety he cndeavored to conceal it from the public by buttoning his coat up very closely, imparting an aouormal stiffness to his knees and tripping over his own heels. He stalked up to street car, walked briskiy in just as the horses started forward--and instantly tumbled out backward without bending. Q muscle. Straightway he recovered the upright, splashed with mud and re-entered, seating himself be- side an acquaintance, making no sign of his mishap.

King Alfonso first saw his second Dulcinea as she was rising from dinner at Arclachon, France. Her mother was present and so were four Spanish and Austrian nobles He talked with her about two hours, leaving the mother to the care of the nobles. On returning to his cottage he told his suite that he intended to stay several days" in the town, and have "mOre than formal and short courting." The intelligence startled his hearers, who mildly urged etiquette and the Spanish Constitution against prolonged absence of the sovereign. Alfonso, however, was lntractable Not eX- pecting to see the damsel again until next Oc- tober or November, when it would be his duty to marry her, he proposed to conduct his in- vestigatons at some length. The Spanish op- position journals have already severely con- mented on hls absence. The king and his next bride are about of the same age He was born on the twenty eight of November, 1857, and she in July, 1858 A correspondent of the London News who saw her at Archachon, near Bordeaux, France. where the courtship took place, writes: The Archduchess Maria Christina came to mass as she is wont to do every day. She was simply dressed and look ed very pretty modest and graceful as she knelt near the altar. She hardly seemed to notice that she was the center of attention, and the church was crowded with the elite of Bor- deaux plutOcracy in brilliant toilets. Not a few Spaniards were present, and they showed even more curiosity to gaze on their future queen. They had come from Biarritz, San Juan de Luz, Hendaye, and even from over the frontier to see Donna Christina de Haps- burg, as they already call her. She is above middle stature, very slender, and her carriage is what lady critics call disingue. Her face is open and her eyes are pensive and earnest l; her hair and complexion are fair and she looks more like German maiden than her portraits led people to think in Madrid"

Tho First Use OF tho Tomato.

Of the introduction of the tomato into
the United States correspondent gives the
following account Captain Phucas Ed
ridge was resident of Philadelphia in
l793. During the San Domingo wars be-
tween the negroes and whites many of the
latter fled to the United States, and the
more careful and cntcrprising brought fruit
and seeds peculiar to that island with them.
~ Flenchman named Nicalo, with his
family, became resident Of Philadelphia
in l79S, and occupied a lot next to Capt.
Eldridgc. Nicalo and family brought a
variety of seed with them, which they sowcd
and cultivated, among which was the to-
mato. Capt. Eldrdge and family became
acquainted with the fruit and it's uses
by their intimacy with the Nicalo family.
They dressed and used it as Il salad, and
were fond of it. Other ncighbors procured
the seed, but cultivated it merely as an Or
nament, many being under the impression
that il 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 Ill
troduccd many new and excellent rlants
and vegetables and cultivated them in tho
gardens of Maryland, Delaware and other
places near the shores of the Chesapeake
bay.

A Seed That Pur,ties yvater.

In India, where it is often quite mpos-
siblc to obtain good water, there is kind
of provision of Providence for the purify
ing of impure and muddy water, which is
well worthy of notice Wcrc it in Ameri-
ca, it might be called al "institution," SO
common is its use. 1t is seed, which on
being rubbed again and again on the inside
of the common earthern watcr-pots of the
country, has the power of precipitating the
earth and its impurities, leaving the water
tolcrably clear, and to dcgrcee suitable for
use. During our itinerancy of two weeks VIC
have had occasion to use the very rcpulsive
looking tank-watcr of the country thus
purified. At only one of our encampmcnts
have we had well-water, and then the ma
tivcs much preferred the common surface
or tank water to this. Habit, usage and
custom arc almost omnipitcnt in India, and
many years must pass before Hindoos will
learn that the seed does not remove the
poisonous taint that produces fever and
cholera. and does nothing to destroy ami
mai life that brings the very common and
troublegomc Guinea worm, so often making
life almost or quite burden. 1t is source
of satisfaction to lis that this purified water
is rendered harmless by boiling, and there
is OF course, much more urgent reason
for the use of fthc cup that cheers but docs
not inebriatc," than can be found where
one has access to ''thc old oakcn bucket
OF former times and happy memory.

Tho DOg-Dnys.

Dog days is term for which we are in
dobtcd to the ancient Thcbans, who first
cultivated astronomy in Egypt, and deter
mined the length of the year by the number
Of risings of tho dog-star, or Sirius. At
the season of the year when this brilliant
star rose with the sun their combined in
tluencc was supposed to be productive of
pcstilcntial heat and all manner of bancful
influences. Therefore the Egyptians
watched the conjunction Of Sirius and tho
sun with mingled feelings of hope and fear,
for it forctold to them the rising of the
Nile, and was ominous Of fruitful crops or
devastating (roughts. Their dog days cx-
tended from the 18th of August to the 18th
of September. The rising of Sirius, how
ever, has been SO accelerated by the pre-
cession of the cquinoXcs during the passage
of moro than two thousand years, that tho
corresponding conditions for the ancient
dog days would include them within the
3D. of July and the l1th of August. 1t will
| readily be seen that our modern dog-days
have no connection with the rising OF
Sirius or any other star, because no pcrma.
ncnt data can bc based upon stars whose
positions arc always changed by the falling
back of the cquinoctial points. The dog.
days refer to particular kind Of weather,
which marks about forty days, occurring
month after the summer solsticc, and basc(
entirely on that epoch. They simply re-
tain an ancient name, as in many other in
stances, without retaining its significance
1t may seem strange that Sirius, which /.
seen overhead in midwintcr. should bc as
sociated with the heat of summer; but i
must be remembered that this star is over
lead in midsummer In the daytime, though
like the other stars, invisible on account O
the sun.
