THE EARLY SYSTEM OF ASTRONOMY
From the examination of a book compiled
1000 years before Christ it has been ascer.
tanned, what has long been supposed, that
Chaldea was the parent land of astronomy !;
for it is found, from this compilation and
from other bricks, that the Babylonians
catalogued the stars and distinguished and
named the consultations. They observed
the seventh day as day of rest. They
invented the sun-dial to mark the move
ments of the heavenly bodies, the water
clock to measure time, and they speak in
this work of the spots on the sun-a fact
they could have known only by the aid of
telescopes, which it is supposed they pos
sessed, from observations they have noted
down of the rising of Venus, and the fact
that Layard found crystal lens in the
ruins of Nineveh. These bricks" con
tain an account of the deluge, substan-
TALLY the same as the narrative in the
Bible. They disclose that houses and
lands were then sold, leased and mort
gagged that money was loaned at interest /;
and that the market gardeners, to use an
American phrase, worked on shares !"
that the farmer, when plowing with his
oxen, beguiled his labor with homely songs,
two of which have been found, and connect
this very remote civilization with the usages
of our own times.

THF ELECTRICAL ExHIBITIoN.- the
International Electrical Exhibition at Paris,
opened by President Grevy, an electrical
railroad, boat and balloon are in view,
which ought to call the attention of our
inventors to the fact that they are being
beaten by foreigners in the practical ap-
plication of electricity to modern life.
The telegraph is an old story now; the
telephone has ceased to be wonder and
become necessity but both London and
Paris excel US in electric lights, and the
French system of timing all the clocks by
electricity is a notion which ought to have
been invented by the Yankees. Brother
Jonathan has whitfield out so many clever
things that he can afford to allow Europe to
get little way ahead of him in electricity !;
but it is about time now for Edison to bring
out an American miracle that shall re-
establish our former supremacy, and startle
the world like lightning from red, white
and blue sky.

TOMATOES AS FOOD.
Tomatoes, remarks an authority. Al

Tomatoes, remarks an authority, are not
without some defects as an article OF food.
They are not, like milk, a perfect diet of
themselves, and besides, like most other
articles of food, they contain some obnox
ious qualities. But they need not be
thrown aside on that account. Nature has
provided us with such sufficient excretory
organs that the obnoxious matter in our
food, if in moderate amount, is readily cast
out, and the body is protected against any
material injury. Were it not so, we should
be obliged TO throw out of our dietary many
kinds of food now eaten, not only with i'm
punity, but with advantage Thus, red
cabbage, cherries and peaches contain prus-
sicacid, which is deadly poison whentaken
in sufficient quantity. The very small
amount of the poisoning acid these vege-
tables contain is cast out of the system
without any material injury to the person
using them. A positive good may actually
be derived from the use of food containing
some such foreign matter, by way of
giving increased activity and strength to
the excretory organs from their exercise in
casting such foreign matter from our
bodies, provided the quantity is not so
great as to overburGen them. Since we are
all the time liable to take In our food SUBJ
stances the tendency of which is harmful,
good development of efficiency In our ex-
ecretory organs is necessary to protect us
against the pernicious effects which might
otherwise occur. Almost every kind Of
grain and fruit in use contain more OF less
things which in larger amount would
prove hurtfpl. Unless we closely study
our food, we are taking them in when we
lutte suspect it. A Frenchman, not many
years ago, discovered substance in wheat
bran, which under the high heat used in
baking, dissolved out and spread over the
crumbs of bread, of which bran forms a
part, and discolored it, and hence the
brown stain peculiar to graham bread.
But from this discovery such bread has not
been rejected, but continues to be ac-
counted among the most wholesome kinds
of food. Rye is seldom used without con-
tanning more or less ergot, but rye bread is
reckoned among the most healthful. Tea
contains tannic acid, apples contain malic
acid, lemon and oranges eitric acid. no one
of which is used either in nutrition or
respiration, but they only become objec-
tionable when used excessively.-[ Leeds

AGRARIAN STATE OF ITALY.

The agrarian state of Italy is such as to
cause the gravest anxiety to italian states.
men. The corn trade, once so prosperous,
has come to an end. The ships which en-
ter the Italian harbors can get no return
freight. The misery of the people is ter
rible, and in consequence the average
length of human life is eight yesrs less than
in France, and sixteen less than in Nor
way. The pellagro, a horrible disease
which causes insanity and death, and is
produced by the habitual consumption OF
damaged corn, has increased of late years
to an appalling extent. In the year 1880
there were 20, 600 peasants suffering from
it in Lombsrdy, and there were double that
number in 1878. Jacini gives an account of
the life, food, and habitation of the peas.
ants of Northern Italy, which could not
be surpassed by the most sensational de-
scription of cabin in the west of Ireland.
Villari tells similar tale. Heavy taxa
tion is also contributing to ruin the agri.
culturist. In the Commune of the Grotto
S. Stefano, in the District of Verterbo,
there were nineteen little properties sold
upon the 18th of October last, and | have
been assured that in the course of last
year there have been as many as 1000 in
the province of Rome alone. Under these
circumstances it is not wonderful that
emigration from Italy should have assumed
considerable proportions. In the year 1867
there were $1,000 emigrants; 1868, 3d.

WHY BE LAUGHED.

Several men were making purchases in
an avenue store yesterday, when a man
who had been locking out of the window
for some time turned and said
"Well, that's bad case"
"What is it ~ inquired two or three at
once.
Well, l don't know who is the hus.
band of this woman out here in the wagon,
but if were he I'd go across the street
and smash that fellows head"
"Why?"
"Why, because he has been working
like beaver for the last half hour to get
up a Irritation with her"
At this one of the men began to chuckle
Then the chuckle ran into laugh, and
finally he had to sit down.
"What's the matter with you % was
asked
"Why, Pm-Pm that woman's hus-
band"
Are you? And you are laughing over
the Irritation %
ell can't help it," he said, as he went
off laughing. Just think of him flirting
and strutting up and down and doing the
purity, when the old woman out there has
been stone blind for seven years-ha ha

THE ORIGIN.-There is story, says the
New York Sun, that the popular hymn,
+" The Sweet By and By" was the work
of two men while drunk. Joseph P. Web
ster, who composed the music, died several
years ago. DR.. s. F. Bennett. author of
she verses, lives at Richmond, Ill. He
tays that the charge of intoxication is un.
true, though Webster was free drinker.
The two wrote hymn book in 1874, and
" The Sweet By and By" was one of the
pieces jointly produced for it. The sug-
gestion came from a chance remark by
Webster, who was habitually respondent,
that all would be well "by and BY" Ben
nett at once made the rhymes. and Web.
ster brought the music out of fiddle,
which was his customary aid in compost
tion. The hymn book had its day, and is
forgotten but this one tune is put into
every new publication of the kind, and
has sale of about 10000 copies year

PERFUMES USED BY THE EGYPTIANS

PERFUMES USED BY THE EGYPTIANS.
The consumption Of essences must have
been enormous at the highest tide of
Egyptian splendor, for the people were
actually enjoined to perfume themselves on
Fridays corpses were anointed with
aromatic essences sherbets and sweet
meats were favored with fine vegetable ex-
tracts; perfumes filed the air in every
well-to-do house, and saturated the letters
and presents which were constantly being
exchanged. The ladies bathed in perfumed
water, the men used scented oils for the
hair, and both made use of red, yellow
and green soap. During great festivals
incense was burned in all the streets, so
that even the poorest might be regaled
by the mere act of breathing. Nor
was there any lack of narcotics. The
mode of preparing opium, introduced
from Syoot in Upper Egypt, was
we'll known, and the Sultan Beybars
promulgated several edicts prohibiting the
use of hasheesh, Supplying and intox-
icating preparation of Indian hemp. In

alcohol las its name indicates) is an Arab
discovery, and beer-the favorite beverage
of the ancient Egyptians-was also brewed
and drank under the Khalifs. Many jo-
vial song in praise of wine was sung by
Arab poets, and in early times many Arabs
would by no means admit that the Prophet
had forbidden its use. In an old MS.

WOMEN IN INDIA,

We too often regard Eastern women as
mentally and morally inferior. This is
great error. Ages of repression have sui
lied the fine gold, and the women of the
lower classes have sunk into degraded
state, but the spirit that in all ages has
made woman a "power" is still there.
This cannot be quenched. There have
been glorious instances of womaphood in
India. They reveal to US her power, and
unfold to us plainly that this power will
be at no distant date either most useful
ally or determined foe to the spread of
Christianity and its attendant blessings.
Time would fail me if l attempted to emu.
merate the deeds of India's great women.
There was ''Rezia Begun" Ferishta
says, "She was endowed with every
princely virtue" During her fathers life.
time she was twice made regent, and her
father said, 1.-The burden of power is too
heavy for my sons, even though l had
twenty, but not too heavy for Rszia; del
icate though her body may be, she has in
in her more spirit than all her brothers put
together" History also records the vir-
tues of Ahalya Bhye, the good Queen Of
India. Bishop Heber has written OF the
cleveIness and administrative powers of
the Begun Sumroo." We all remember
the deeds of bravery of the heroic Queen
Jhansi, who died sword in hand. The
present Begun of Bhopal is c. s. l.,
and is one of the most enlightened Of the
Indian feudatories. The Princess Of Tan
iore is an educated and refined lady; the
mother of the Rsjah OF Mysore was lady
of great judgment, and her death few
years ago was regretted in a minute Of
state. There is beautiful and touching
story exemplifying the devotion of Raj.
poot wife. Her husband had fallen at the
famous siege OF Chittoor, in 1900. Tell

"Oh, mother" replied the boy, " how fur

will chide my delay" cried the true wife,
and, smiling farewell to her boy, she
leaped into the devouring flames OF the
funeral pile. Not only in the more recent
history of India do we see her influence,
but in the ''great Epics" she bears dis
tinguished part. Look at Draupadi, the
wife of the Pandu prince. Her fortitude
and constancy bring tears to the eyes all
over India. All this reveals to us how
worthy woman is there of elevation /; and
that if we want progress she must be
raised.-TJ. c. w. Gostic.
