Something About Walnuts.

The walnut is indigenous to Upper Asia and in the mountainous regions of Persia is found growing wild. It was known to the Romans as Juglans Regia or royal tree of Jupiter. It was intro duced into Italy at the beginning of the Christian era, and gradually spread over western Europe. It was introduced into England many centuries ago from France, which country was then called Gaul, aud some authorities say the word "walnut" is corruption of "Gaul-nut." CWebster gives the derivation, however, from an Anglo-Saxon word, ''wealh- h-hnut," from "wealh" a foreigner, stranger, and 'shnut,"a a nut. In Europe it is called simply walnut" and the name English walnut used in this country was bestowed by the colonists of Virginia to distinguish 1t from the native American black wal nut. The tree seems to flourish every where. It thrives in rich and poor land, on mountain and in valley, in rock and barren soil where hardly anything else can be grown. But in deep soil with Q moist bottom the English walnut grows luxuriantly and yields large crops at a comparatively young age. - American GrOcQr

Patrons of the Restaurant.

"The walters here complain that some of the people that come in here, where they can get plate of roast beef, turkey, lamb, or most anything else for twenty cents, expect as much attention and ex- cellence of food as they would require at up town swell resorts, where they think nothing of paying Sl for dinner, with at least quarter for the waiter"
 The speaker was the proprietor or large dining room down town, where low prices prevail. He added, sententiously
 "I have always noticed that mans air of importance and the size of his din ner check are likely to be in direct inverse proportion. Many men with fifteen cent check walk out with hundred thou sand dollar air. There is no place in the world, am told, where man can get so much to eat for his money, in quantity and variety, as he can here in New York. Of course, mean down town. ."-New York Sun.

Noticeable Meteorological Phenomena.

The meteorological phenomena accom- panying the building of railroads in Mexico are receiving the attention of scientific men in that country. Recent serious damage done by washouts on the northern section of the Mexican Central road was due to waterspouts bursting on the track, and it is curious fact that waterspouts seem to be attracted by the iron track and telegraph wires. Engi- neers on the line of the Guadalajara branch of the Mexican Central railway have noted that as fast as the construc- tion advances rain follows, and they hold that this is due to the large lot of steel rails on fiat cars which are carried for. ward as fast us the work of construction permits. The most noticeable fact is that the country is dry in advance of the con struction trains, and also behind them for many miles. Rains beat down, as de- scribed, in bucketfuls just where the steel rails are, but only in circles few miles in diameter.-Frank Leslic's.

eEGGARs OF LONG AGO.
Domv Entries Found In Parish Books
 800 Years old.

0omv Entries Found In PariSh bO0ks
 800 Years old.
 In many parish books, about 300 years ago, we find such entries as these: 'Payd for whippin tow pore folk, id" 'Payd and given to Il pore man and his wifi that was wipped, iiijd." This was double the usual tariff, which is represented by 'Gave the tow when they went, ih." In Saxon times the beggar, unless he found refuge in one of the then thinly scattered monasteries, was in evil case. He be- longed to the dangerous tribe of master less men, people for whom no one was answerable, and those who sheltered him were fain to do it by stealth, for if man stayed with you more than couple Of days you were accountable, not only for anything he might then do, but also for his antecedents.
 MT. Ribtou Turner thinks race had good deal to do with beggary. When you take away a mans means of life he must either starve or rob or beg The oldest natives of Great Britain were short, dark people-Basques, say some, Esquimaux u say others; the tall, light haired Gael beat them out from almost everywhere, except part of South Wales. Then the Cymri, another Celtic people, ccme across from tne ClmOrlC OnorSOncSc \JeuiutrhJ, uuttcu in Aberdeen, spread over Scotland as Picts, and coming southward were met by the tide of Saxon, or, as the new lights prefer to call it, "English" invasion, and turned aside into Wales What the round ! skulled Gael had done to the short skulled people who had preceded him the Saxon did to the Gael. He took his titled land from him; in those days it was not much, nine tenths of the island being forest and marsh, and he gave him no chance of set ting near him and bringing in some of the wild country.
 That was not done till later, when the monasteries true agricultural colonies) set the example of making the desert smile. The conquered had nothing for it but to submit to slavery or to "move on-" If he moved on with a lot of friends he might settle down somewhere in Wales, or on the Cornish moors, or in the wild dis trict called Cumbria (Cymris Land). from Chester to the Solway. But there would generally be somebody to turn out, SO, if he was alone or with few, begging or :, robbing (the two were Interchangeable was his only resource.-An the Year ROunI
