veso.abIe. Eaten cen,ur.c. Ago.


Many of the species of vegetable we now
cultivate havc been grown and eaten for
centuries- Even before the Christian era
many of them were in use. Lettuce has
been used at the table for thousands Of
years. Herodotus tells us that It was served
at the royal tables centuries before the
Christian era, and one of the noble families
of Rome derived its name from this plant
Spinach, asparagus and celery have been
cultivated and eaten among the Eastern ma
tons for thousands of years. Radishes
were known and grown by the Greeks and
were offered at Apollo's shrine, wrought in
precious metals. Parsnips were grown and
brought from the Rhine to add to the lux
nries of Tiberus table.
Beets were most esteemed centuries ago
and carrots were in such reputs in Queen
Elizabeth's reign that the ladies of her court
adorned their huge structures of false hair
with their feathering plumes Peas at Elm
beth's court were very rare, and were i'm
ported from Holland MS great delicacy.
Fruits were also in great repute among
the ancients. The currant was cultivated
centuries ago In European gardens and was
JAILED the Corinthian grape. One old writer
speaks of the berries as Corinths, hence the
name of currants. The damson plum was
extensively cultivated at Damascus, whence
its name.
The cherry came from Crosus, city OF
Pontus, and the delicious peach, king Of
fruits, was first known In Persia. The
ounce was holy fruit, dedicated to the god
dess of love, and was called Cyndonian ap-
pie. Pears are as ancient as apples, and are
mentioned among the Paradisal fruits.

THE CARR, or HoRsEs.
A Veterinary Surgeon Gives Some
Suggestions That are Of Value.

Suggestions Ihat arc Oh taIues
A leading veterinary surgeon, in CONVEX
sation with q reporter said: " Want of
ordinary care often ruins some of the best
horses Even those people employed to
take charge of the animals often neglect
some of the simplest things. Every horse
should be reshod at least once month.
After each days work the animals feet
should be carefully examined, to ascertain
that the shoes are in good order and gravel
or stones removed. Twice each week the
feet should be carefully looked at broken
nails replaced, loose shoes fastened and pro-
jecting clinches reduced. Once week the
feet should be stuffed with fiaxseed meal or
wet clay. Any unhealthy condition of the
hoof ought to be Immediately attended to-
Horses require careful grooming and should
be rubbed dry when used; not allowed to
stand without rubbing when heated. 0c-
casional sponging of the nostrils with
weak mixture Of vinegar and water is alac
beneficial. The practice of using hose OF
stream of cold water on horse when heated
Is very injurious. Care should be exercised
to see that the feed is kept free from dust,
foreign substance and bad odor. Small
quantities fed frequently are best for the
animals. Bran mash should be given once
week, never oftener than twice, except
when IL is desirable as purge. Glauber
salts given once week will help to keep
the horse healthy. Watering horse while
warm or Immediately after eating is bad
but before eating it is not Objectionable, or
while at work Stables should be kept clean,
we'll ventilated and free from smells. The
feed-boxes should be scrupulously clean,
and washed once week with vinegar and
water. Those animals affected with CHAMBERS
or discharge from the nostrils should be iso-
lated and kept tied. Man and beast are
both in danger of infection therefrom. In
places and vicinity where an infected ami
NAL is thus tied the wood and iron work
should be cleansed with hot water and soap,
and covered with wash of frcshly-IDixed
quicklime, which should be scraped off and
removed within two days. All harness,
horse cloths, saddle cloths and blankets
used by glandered horse should be de-
stroyed. Corns on horses feet are bruises
| If the sensitive sole, and mostly occur in
the fore feet. These should be carefully
attended to, and If treated in time, will soon
disappear; otherwise the horse may be per-
nanently famed. Trotting on hard road
will often produce corns, and like human
beings, they arise many times from bad
Shoes Attention to these simple things
will often save valuable horses from being
ruined.v

AGE OF THE cRownAR.
The Lime Kiln Club ON the Question
of Its Antiquity.

just previous to the opening of the meet
ing Elder Juneberry Davis and Judge Hold
back johnson got into q dispute as to
whether the crowbar belonged to the
Glacial Epoch or the Drift Period, and after
some hot words had passed the Elder punch
ed the Judge on the nose and received
crack on the jaw in return. Brother Gard
ner came in as they were pulled apart, but
he seemed to take no notice of the affair
and nothing was said until the meeting
opened. Then he looked around the hall
and observed:

FRENCH CHrLDnEN
How they Differ From Those OF Our
Country.


Country.
From an abstruse principle Of political
economy to the little responsibilities OF
French households may seem an abrupt
depression. French children, II not better
than American children, are certainly less
aggressive. They are not often seen TO
quarrel among hemselves--they are docile
and TIMETABLE, comprehend and apply the
common forms of politeness, are kind and
affectionate to their parents and respectful
10 their elders. This is relatively true of
the children of all classes, whether of the
rich or poor, whether in the city or coun-
try. Even the Paris gamin, who is consid-
cred the type of all that is bad in French
childhood and youth, rarely insults
stranger. He may be rude, noisy and indi-
rectly troublesome, but he seldom, unless
provoked, becomes meanly aggressive. A
foreigner may go into any part of Paris, OF
into any city or village of the departments
and no matter how peculiar his appearance,
though he may be curiously looked at by
the younger portion of the population,
should he be hooted or sneered at, it would
be the most extraordinary exception. When
you enter a French family the younger
members come to greet you with the rest.
When You leave they are present to bid You
q kind adieu. Little ones in France do not
talk too much at the table. In the family
circle they are content to remain in the
background. The politeness which seems

SAD Effect Of Good Luck.

The most astonishing instance of the I'M
accountable effect of prosperity have eve,
seen is that of Newcome, the heir TO the great
Morgan estate. For many years he was
hard-worhng, robust and vigorous plum
Der, sturdy, bow-legged and wiry little
man, who kept the mouths of o large family
Of voracious children filed by hammering
away ten or twelve hours a day. or late
years he has worked very hard to provide
for the increase In his family and the heavy
competition he has met In his trade. He
woke mp one morning somewhat worried
about q grocer's bill Of $7.86 and discover.
ed that he had just come in possession
81 900, 900.
The effect of the fortune upon the indus
trious little plumber has been disastrous in
the extreme. He has settled into condi-
ton of pallid melancholy which nothing
can lift. His ruddy color is gone and he is
as white as spook. More than this, his
face has taken on panied and harassed
look and he exhibits nervous haste in his
movements which is almost pitiful. Along
with the vast fortune he inherited all of
Mrs. Morgan's family coaches and being
conscientious man, he drives resolutely in
them every afternoon, the picture Of over.
awed and plaintive discomfort. He still
hangs about the galleries where the nagni-
ficent art treasures OF Mrs. Morgan were
exhibited, with his hands thrust deep in his
trousers pockets, his head hung forward
and his eyes looking uneasily about. Onco
In while he exchanges few words with
the porter Of the place, but as rule he
soems 10 be continually III at ease. HE
good fortune has completely unnerved him.

There is little danger that any one wish-

feet; iron pillars, seven feet high, eight
inches square at the bottom and four at the
top, and timber posts Ave feet high and

POETRY.
A Southern Gsrl.

A Southern Girl.
Her dimpled cheeks are pale;
She's lily OF the vale,
Not rose.
In muslin or a lawn
She is fairer than the dawn
To her beaux.
Her boots are slim and neat;
She is vain about her feet
II is said.
She amputates her RS,
But her eyes are like the stars
Overhead.
On balcony at night
With fieecy cloud OF white
Round her hair;
Her grace, ah who could paint9
She would fascinate saint,
Ideclare.
Ills matter OF regret
She's bit OF o coquette
Whom sting;
On her cruel path she goes
With half dozen beaux
To her string.
But let all that pass by,
And her maiden moments ny
Dow empearled;
When she marries, ON my life,
She viii make the dearest wife
In the world.

An Electric Sword.

A gentleman of Shanghai has. after
considerable experimenting. invented =
new and deadly weapon. This is an
electric sword. which, when the point
touches the party attacked, sends a
powerful shock through him, and If not
Immediately killing, will at least put
him hors de combat. The sword is an
ordinary military sabre, but along its
whole length is let in o fine platinum
wire. which ends at the foil of the
weapon. A small but very powerful
storage battery is carried strapped about
the waist, much the same as cartridge
box. Insulated wires connect the bat
terry with the sword, and by pressing a
button tho holder can complete the cir.
cult at once. -Des Moines Mail.
