The Virtues of the Peach Pit
Somebody wrote recently Of .new'' indus
try, which consists in extracting the kernel
from the stone of the peach, drying and put
ting up in small packages for sale at the drug
gisss. What We have not known always
comes to US as revelation with which the
world has heretofore been unaequainted;
and it is very foruaata that it is SO, for iE
provides that perpetual system of review
without which we should lose all we have
known in trying to acquire more. It is true
the uses to which the peach spit" has been put
are not SO remote as to be elassed among the
lost arts. but its viz ues are very little known
and viii bar res;atius. A number Of years
ago little pamphlet was published which
specialized its claims and described its benef-
icentresults il the curing Of dyspepsia At
that time peach pits COST. at the
for q small package, AMI they have
probably not decreased in value. although
Ia the peach season every ash barrel is filled
with them because they are not considered
worth the labor of extracting from their shells.
But apart from their medical value, which
they owe to the presence of prussic acid in
considerable quantity, they ought never to be
separated from the fruit IN cooking, on &C
count of the delicious flavor they impart to
the peach itself. Peach pies made OF
Hyperian to the Satyr like production coLcoct-
ed out Of split peaches from which the ''stoua''
has boon extracted and iaclosed between two:
so-called crusts. Canned peaches lose lmmeas-
urably by leaving out so important all auxiliary
to flavor aud assmilative properties, and many
housekeepers who buy all other fruits ready
prepared can their peaches at home, as the
only way by which they can secure the invai-
liable union OF the peach with its kernel.

Of generations Of chiefs of the Piutes and
sister Of the present chief, is on mission
to the Easr, and in prosecution of it has been
the guest Of Mrs Elizabeth Peabody aud her

useful to them. She asks that the agency sys-
