CULTURE OF FIGs.-The fig tree is a native of
Western Asia and the shores of the Mediterranean
both in Europe and Africa 1t has been cultivated
from time immemorial for its fruit, which has
been esteemed in all ages both in the fresh and
in the dried state. The process of drying figs is
probably very ancient, as we read in the Bible of
present of cakes of figs having been made to
David.
The figs of ancient Athens are mentioned and
praised by Aristotle, Pliny, and other classical
writers The Athenians were so partial to figs,
that they did not allow the fruit to be exported:
and the informers against those VINO violated this
law being called sykoDhoatqi, from two Greek
words signifying the DISCOVERIES of figs give rise
to our modern word sycophant
The fig is cultivated to a large extent in the
south of France and in italy, where it forms an
article of diet besides being largely exported in
the dried state.
The ripe fruit Of the fig is esteemed as demuI-
cent and laxative, and has long been used as a
poultice for bols. The numerous seeds in the
fruit are ndigestible, and sometimes have an
irritdnt action. The wood of the tree is soft and
spongy, and Is sometimes used for polishing tools,
when charged with oil and emery. The bark
contains acrid, milky Juice which has some of
the properties Of caoutchouc
The process of drying figs is very simple. The
fruits first dipped in scalding-hot I've prefer
ably made from the ashes ofthe fig tree: they are
then dried in the sun, or in ovens made for the
purpose, then pressed into boxes and drums for
sale.
The culture Of figs has not attracted much
attentonin the Middle and Northern States, owing

Numerous instances might be noted with re-

a Canadian example: "S5oIne years since farmer
located on WORKOUT lands in the Niagara district
had Oh his farm one twenty-five acre field that
from continuous cropping was 50 reduced that
no grain whatever would grow upon it. He had
no spare manure, as the farm would not grow

BEAN Roofs POIsONOUs.-It is not always
best to get at the root Of matter" Recently,
Mr., Kellogg, Of Goeta, happened to discover that
the roots Of his French beans-the common bush
beans-were large and juicy. He concluded that
they would be good to eat. Accordingly, he ate
a small piece himself, and gave some to other
members of his family. They all thought that
the taste was rather agreeable. In about half an
hour however, they discovered that instead of
being wholesome the root contained very dan
gerons poison. After the most intense suffering
and by the prompt use Of antidotes, they have
al recovered from the effects of the poison. The
quantity which was eaten was so very small that
it is certain that this root contains very fatal
poson.-.SGntG Barbara Press.

The Real Cause,

There is much diversity of opinion as to
the real cause of the late horrible murder
in Jackson. Drunkenness, insanity, and
general cussedness have been given as
reasons for the murder. 1t is not our
purpose to attempt to show, in this arti-
Gle, what aoaS the real cause, but we will
say that the victim made very great
mistake. If, instead of appearing in the
commonplace raiment to be purchased in
the common run of Stores, he had appear
ed on that fatal platform clad in one of
the fashionably-cut and neatly-made suits
kept for sale by Morris Sternberger, all
the beer Becker had in him could not
have prompted him to injure SO finely
dressed man. Becker would doubtless
have mistaken him for Minister of the
Gospel, or brakeman on the Springfield
Southern Railroad, and passed him by
respectfully. 1t is always safest and best
to buy g,.ods OF Morris, at the great Store,
uogusg Of Main aud Broadway.

He Combs His Hair

When we went into the Caurt Room on
last Wednesday morning, we were accost-
ed by a large. fine-looking man. His hair
was gray, but it was trimmed and neatly
combed. He had on clean shirt, and no
tobacco-juice streaked down the bosom.
We did not recognize the man, but the
voice was familiar. Then Levi DUNCAN
stepped up, and introduced the stranger
as the remains of the late John T. Moore,
Esq. He had been at the BARRIERS. And
that was what was the matter with
Moore.
At this point Mr.. DUNCAN told the fol.
lowing anecdote: A few days before.
Moore was making an argument in Court.
He was in his normal condition, his hair
standing out in every direction. A law.
yer from Springfield said to Mr.. DUNCAN,
'Did Moore ever comb his hair?" @Not
to my knowledge" said DUNCAN. "He
was my law partner two years, and he
newer colubed bis hais during that tinra'

fact, not generally understood, that the
Sabbath Schools of the county may be-
come attached to the Society by contribu-
ting to it; and that each SIS contributed al

will receive beautiful certificate of MEM
bership, and who may annually draw
from the Depository here, for himself, OF
for the school, 40 cents worth of books,
thus: five cent testaments, or ten cent
testaments, or forty cent bible. Thus,
school may each year constitute one or
more of their number life members. and
create for the school library book supply
of great benefit. 1t is hoped that num-
ber of schools will avail themselves of
this at the coming anniversary of the So
ciety on March 13, and take up and report
collections so as to be included in the an
