A QUESTION ANSWERED.


I"J. @. D." IN Boston Transcript
'Of fear and Of fate are bicycles fashioned,
That the heads above them are dire and
glnm"
Nay, the faces Of riders remain unashened,
Chilled not with sense Of fall to come;
they bear the heart of the bold. not craven,
lis peace around them, and grief Is far;
They hear no note, from night-hued raven,
OF death at the crossing bar.
OF no iron Of doom are two-wheelers shapen.
That sometime rider raay seem accurst;
cut the gnawing and weakness Of hunger
happen,
And the throats of the boys are a-dry for
thirst.
Their seats are as towers from the cares that
wither,
And seldom is any struck wan by fear;
An emulous rage for race sets hither,
And the mode OF the wise is clear,
scant lives Of many wax wide with the might
of it,
Uprising IA rank with the hale and the
sound
To compass Unlimited miles with it round
The sense is most Of squirting scout run,
The spirit Is much like joy sublime
OF wheel to match and of speed to outrun
The speed Of the wheel Of time.
And forth they steer, as a yachting rover
For pleasure raid on the dancing brine
And highways carry their high horse over
To the meads and burrows of corn and
kline
For the heart within them of late was busy
To loose their souls as a sail unfurled;
They must needs escape for awhile that
dizzy,
Close toll Of the weary world.
Too full they say, is the world Of trouble,
earth,
And we turn for the gain and the relish of
double
Delight to aspire on our wings of mirth.
And life grows fervid in air more vital,
Where often the city's brood fain would
fee,
Where fully the lifts of the ride are requital
For falls there may happen to be-

The complementary value of pepper
stands very high, and, among European
people. English are perhaps the most
addicted to pepper This condimentary
spice may be procured under the two
designations of white and black pepper,
the distinction, however, not being in
the botany but in the mode of prepare
ton.
Black and white pepper come from
the same plant All pepper is black
originally, but the blackness resides in a
superficial skin. If the berry be ground
entire, then, of course, the powder viii
be dark-colored; but if the cuticle be
removed previous to grinding then the
powder will have tint more or less
approaching white, though never quite
white-in this consists the only diff
ference between white and black pepper.
The black pepper plant is indigenous to
the East and West Indies, and it also
grows in Jumata, Java, and other
islands of the Indian Archipelago. Two
crops of berries are produced in the
year, but the season of ripening is very
irregular
If wholly unadulterated pepper is re-
quired it should be bought whole and
ground in domestic mill. Bought in
a state of powder it is always invariably
adulterated, special ingredients being
sold for this purpose. The two chief
are known in commerce as P. D. and
d. P. D., the first signifying pepper
dust, and the second dirt of pepper
dust Both may be described as the
sweepings, more or less contaminated,
of the warehouses in which pepper is
stored. In addition to the ordinary
peppers (black and white of domestic
use, there is another kind called long
pepper. The fruit of this sort is not
shaped as berries, but as elongated
cylinders with rounded ends. 1t is of
more use, however, as an ingredient of
oattle-medicines than as a condiment for
human stomachs.

In the markets seem about the last
place to look for the return of society,
but it is nevertheless the fact that the
return of the leaders is as quickly noted
there as anywhere in Washington.
You would be surprised to see the class
of people who come here, " said q dealer
in the Central market, huge brick
structure standing near the depot where
President Garfield was shot. you
would be surprised to see the people who
come to market here. Prominentsa
Bless you, yes. Wives of congressman
and senators, even wives and daughters
of cabinet people come here to market
every week during the season.
Fact. Why it is common thing to see
people with long titles ambling about
this market hunting up this or that veg
etable, looking for choice piece of meat
or hunting for something extra nice for
dinner. Those who suppose that all
the people of Washington, the promi-
nent people, do their marketing by
stewards are mistaken. OF course
some of them do, but good many OF
EN- don't. Vegetables and that sort Of
thing is easy to spoil, you know, and
they generally want to look after them
themselves and know what they are
eating. Groceries and things of that
sort they can trust to others to
handle, but the things that spoil so easy
they prefer to handle for themselves"
But don't they trust these things to
their Stewards"
Not always. OF course some do, but
