LGbjata, The napas Mentha is derived
from Mes11ls, . daughter Of Cocytus,
who was turned into mint. Spsarmint
il . native Of Europe, but has been cuI:
tivated since many years in gardens.
and may be found often in wet soils. 1t
has . procumbent, assurgent, branching,
glabrous stem, roofing at the points.
The leaves are glabrous. sessiIe, Ianceo-
late acute, serrate on short Detioles.
SIMULATE, tube Of the corolla rather longer
than the calyx, throat of the calyx ma
ked; stamens short The Spearmint
contains aromatic, carminative, stimu-
liant and tonic properties and has a
strong, peculiar and pleasant odour,
with an aromatic bitter taste, followed
by a sense OF GOODNESS when air is drawn
into the mouth. 1t is an aromatic and
carminative, employed in fiatulence and
to relieve the pain of collie. Various
preparations are ordered by Pharmaco-
poeias, of which oil Of spearmint and
spearmint water are the most common.
MENrHA PIPERITA, LIN-PEPPERMINT.
This well known plant has a stem like
the preceding species, often of a pur-
plish color and stalked, oblong, acute,
serrate leaves rounded at the base.
Flowers in whorls, which are crowded
in short spikes. Spikes oblong, cylindri-
cal, interrupted below. Teeth of the
calyx hairy, straight in fruit, corolla
smooth, throat naked Peppermint is
an aromatic stimulant and the most
pleasant Of all the minis. 1t contains
] aromatic, carminative, stomachic, stim-
ulant properties, and is used as cure of
| fiatulence, nausea and collie. 1t is en-
ployed principally to expel wind, to
cover the unpleasant taste Of other
medicines and to relieve nausea and
| gripping pains of the alimentary organ.
The volatile.oil Of peppermint is some
l times taken as an antispasmodic; it is
what gives their flavor to peppermint
Iozenges. The oil exists in the whole
plant and In distilled with water, or il
yields the oil to alcohol by maceration
and il extensively used as q family medi
cine. The pure oil has yellowish color
often changing to green, 1t WHITES the
digestive organs, operates against the
weakness and uneasiness as well a.
against the irritability of the nervous
system. AS an sntispasmodic and car
minative relative it is highly recon
mended. In spasm OF the stomach ane
bowels, in cramps, fatulency, hysterica
passion and convulsive vomiting, pep
permint tea will prove its merits ant
value, while peppermint oil externally
applied will moderate the pains of rheu
matism. neuralgia, Commissions and swell
ings. Peppermint lozenges should b
kept always ready by tourists, for tn
purpose of removing nausea, headache
and vomiting caused so often while trav
cling.

RUE IN FLORIDA.

A gentleman interested in Florida
wishes us to call attention to the merits
Of rice ~ field crop in Florida. Coming
great deal of rice is raised, he il familiar
with its culture and the profit therein.
This gentleman, Mr.. G. Constine, of
Hawthorne, il now raising rice as an ex-
pertinent and has distributed some Of
the Sod raised on his own farm to his
neighbors. Rice can be raised on any
soil which win produce cotton or corn
and, he says. 10 just the crop for our wet
fiatwoods, where it will produce fifteen
to forty bushels to the acre. 1t will
stand a. much drought as either and can
be sown a. soon a. the ground is dry
enough to be ploughed, from February
to May. and the crop harvested in Sep
TENDER. Sour fiat land, which would
raise nothing else until it WIS sweeteued,
il Just the thing for rice. The straw is
good forage and it makes plenty Of it.
1t Is not claimed that rice will give
such profits a. vegetables, but our fat
woods can be utilized in large rice farms
which, with improved methods OF cul-
ture viii prove more profitable than
wheat in the North, for instance. 1t
will command about 81 q bushel. The
rough rice can be sent to mills in other
States and prepared rice be received in
return, II wanted, or. il the culture Is
seriously entered into. mills would soon
be established in this State. Seed can
readily be obtained. The first cost Of
the land and the labor of clearing it
would be comparatively small.
We have presented Mr.. Constine's
views for the confederation of our read
EN- He also says that he has secured
crop Of crab grass hay this year twice as
good a. any Northern hay. Stock are
eager for and thrive ON it. These facts
indicate methods in which capital can
be employed in this State.

THYMUs sERPYLLUM, LIN-THyME.
In the month of July in a good many
vegetable gardens, fragrant tufts Of
thyme are readily found. Small egg
shaped, dark green leaves covered with
minute tubular flowers of pink or lilac,
in compact heads of blossom, spreading
amid the grass. or covering the mole
hills with a mass Of bloom. 1t is aston
ishing how rapidly the thyme puppies
the hassocks of the heaving mole. The
loose virgin soil readily permits the root
ing of the decumbent branches, which
spread and root in every direction, until
the whole is covered with q purplish
flush of color, around which, in early
is heard, who contrive, notwithstanding
the minuteness of the blossom to steal
many kisses from the lips Of these lovely
children of Flora and to carry away the
aromatic nectar. The honey made from
the thyme flowers is of a very superior
flavor. venison fed on thyme lands has
very high repute. Thyme was es-
teemed by the Greeks as an emblem Of
courage and activity. Its name is de-
rived from thymus, courage. Attic ele-
gance of style was said to have the odor
of thyme. 1t was held in the highest
esteem by the old herbalists as a noble
strengthened OF the lungs, as notable
one as grows. 1t was also accounted as a
specific for the cure of the bite of ser
penis. The pleasant aromatic smell of
the flowers is only occasionally noted,
for they not only vary greatly in this
respect, but also in size and habit. 1t is
only the sweet wilding tufts, that mid
the waste their lovely buds expand
that have any appreciable odor, and the
drier the soil and the finer the season,
the more readily is the fragrance of the
wild thyme recognized. Thyme contains
fragrant, stimulating, carminative prop
critics and is chiefly used as an ingredient
in culinary seasoning. 1t consists of
ethereal oil, tannin and other substances,
and for that reason it is recommended a.
. restorative in baths. For this pur-
pose three handsful Of thyme, enclosed
in q bag should be boiled in hot water.
This fragrant decoction added to the
bath will give wonderful results espec-
tally by weakly children who are not
able to walk. The herb of the thyme
strewn in q hen-house will cause q real
emigration of chicken lice. This plant
cultivated ON our sandy rolling Pima land
would be Of great value for the rearing
Of bees.

Rev. Mr.. Thwing in the Atlantic:
Most criminals are young. 1t is seldom
that a grave crime, provided it be the
first, is committed after the age of
thirty. A careful statistician has proved
that Of the entire male population of
England and Wales, the largest proper
ton of criminals is found to be between
the ages of twenty and twenty-five.
Five times as many crimes are COM
mitted in the five years between these
limits as in the ten years between the
ages Of fifty and sixty. Dividing the
whole population into groups of those
from ten years to fifteen, from fifteen to
twenty from twenty to twenty-five, from
twenty-five to thirty, from thirty to
forty. from forty to fifty, and from fifty
to sixty, it is found that from the age of
twenty the: tendency to crime decreases
at each successive term thirty-three per
cent. in the case of men,

SMALL. Pox IN San FRANCISCO.

The SAN Francisco Morning eau OF
December 80 contains an article OF near
" two and half columns length Q.
which we quote the headlines: msn
Pox. The Health Board declared "
Epidemic. A Market Street Lodging
House Quarsntined. Four Gases VI
Confluent Small Pox Removed From IT,
The Law Which Provides Funds ZOE
Fighfing the Disease. Cases from o'her
Paris Of the City"
The Can says the block on which the
building il situated was ut once ADAM
donsd by the heavy stream OF people ac-
c,,stomed to walk there when the yellow
nag was displayed. by nightfall, 1t
says, s.the whole city was aware that
the horrible disease had really become
m epidemic, and had gained foothoid
in one Of the most populous centers OF
town. CONSERVATION and fear was ex-
pressed on all sides that the awful
malady might spread beyond control,
and the trepidatlon that was common to
all was revealed by many who joined
the groups of Observers ON the Opposite
sidewalks." Later Developments showed
that the disease had appeared in several
other quarters Of the city. Remedies
are given for the disease in the same ar
ticle and everything shows generally
perturbed state Of the public mind.
One point is to be noticed about this
that nothing has been said in the Asso-
ciated Press dispatches abou. the appear
ance OF small pox in San Francisco Oh
the public fright there. We can not but
wonder, il the disease had appeared, say
Mt Los Angeles, would alarming reports
about il have been furnished daily toll
Associated Press? Would the San Fran
cisco people have taken advantage OF il
to instill feeling in the minds OF thos'
expecting to visit California that they
could not safely go any further than tn
Golden Gate? II the disease had only
appeared in some other Pacific coast city
than the metropolis Of California WI
should have . good opportunity to dis
cover whether human nature is the same
in California as in Florida.
Small pox is . disease more to b
dreaded than yellow fever. We still fai
to see daily bulletins about the health o
San Francisco. There was an editor II
Florida during the yellow fever excite
ment, conceiving it his duty to ''edit
the whole State, being morally response
BILE for it in his own view, who used Il
send to other Florida editors such imper
tinent messages as this: 1.-The Asso
ciatsd Press expects you to send dali.
bulletin about the health Of your city.
We are glad for California if she has M
such editorial busy bodies as this. Cali
fornia, il she has none. does not know
the full merits Of having an editor who
Atlas-ike, can carry whole State oil
his shoulders. San Francisco may hav'
the small pox, but she has evidently beer
spared greater trial.
