History and Origin of Wheat.

Wheat, which is now the bread corn
Of twelve European nations, and is fast
supplanting maize in America and several
inferior grains in India, was no doubt
widely grown in the prehistoric world.
The Chinese cultivated it 200 B. c. as a
gift direct from heaven; the Egyptians
attributed its origin to Isis and the Greeks
to Ceres.
Ancient monuments show that the
cultivation OF wheat had been established
in Egypt before the invasion OF tho
shepherds, and there is evidence that
more productive varieties of wheat have
taken the place of one, at least, Of the
ancient sorts. Innumerable varieties
exist OF common wheat. Colonel Le
Couteur, of Jersey, cultivated $50
varieties. Mr.. Darwin mentions a French
gentleman who had collected 800
varieties, and the great firm OF seed
merchants, Nilmorin-Andricux ct Gle,
cultivate about twice as many in their
grounds near Paris In their recent work
on "Les Meilleurs Bles, " VI. Henry l.. de
Vilmorin has described sixty-cight
varieties OF best wheat, which he has
classed into seven groups, though these
groups can hardly be called distinct
species, since VI. Henry l.. Nilmorin has
crossbrecd three of them and has found
the offspring fertile. Three small-grained
varieties of common wheat were cult
waited by the first lake dwellers Of Switzcr-
land and of Italy, by the people of
Hungary in the stone age, and by the
Egyptians on the evidence of brick of
pyramid in which grain was imbeddcd,
and to which the date of 1859 B. c. has
been assigned.
The existence of names for wheat in
the most ancient languages confirms this
evidence Of the antiquity of It's culture in
all the more temperate parts of Europe,
Asia and Africa, but it seems improbable
that wheat has ever been found growing
persistently in wild state, although the
fact has often been asserted by poets,
travellers and historians. - EdiHJurg Re

Professional Sparrow Catchers.

Two men from indianapolis following
new vocation have been in Louisville.
They are professional hunters of English
sparrows, and they sell the birds to the
indianapolis gun clubs or to trap shoot
crs of the vicinity.
The two men were equipped with an
immense net in which they caught the
birds. The latter are always very numer-
Gus around two large churches on Broad.
way, Louisville, which have ivy-covered
fronts. The men obtained permission
from the church officers to catch all the
birds they could, and followed by a
considerable and curious crowd they be-
gan their hunt. They threw their net
over large part of the front of one of
the churches and entrapped hundreds of
the birds. Many of them got away, but
many more did not, and the haul was re-
peated several times, with the same sue
cess. At the other church they had the
same good fortune. They visited several
large buildings, and during their ten
days stay at Louisville they caught over
1000 sparrows. They get about two dol,
lars for 100 of the birds.

Destructive Force in Warfare.

a French officer, in speaking of melin,
ite TO a representative of the Times, said !:
sour shells for field artillery, as well as
those for our forts and siege guns, are
charged with mclinite. What mclinite
is we do no not know, and if we knew
we should be very careful not to tell. !"
Both the Italians and the Germans have
sent spies to discover the secret, and to
offer money for even the smallest frag-
ment, but they have all been captured.
All that can be said is that, according
to Il treatise published in 1882, melinite
is composed Of melted picric acid. But
in the interval our artillerics have per-
fected the discovery of NJ. Turpin. They
have made mclinitc tractable product.
The effects of this explosive were fully de.
monstratedi in some experiments at the Fort
of Malmaison in 1886. Melinite is so
safe that in three years only one accident
has occurred, that at the arsenel Of Bel
fort. One the other hand hundred ac-
cidents have occurred from gclatinc
alone in thirty years.
There has never been accident in draw
ing the charges, nor one from bursting
in the gun. As much cannot be said
for roburitc, hcloiitc, or the other sub
stances employed by foreign States.
What, it is asked, will become OF forti-
cation in face of this redoubtable agentl
Some think and say they are doomed (;
Others, like General Brialmont, recon-
mend the use of armored circular forts.
1t is said that the shell will glance oil
these without doing any damage. But
experiments at Chalons have shown that
turrets enjoy no immunity against IA
close and continuous fire.

Although people talk gibly about u

them, say, Iron, realize what Il vast
amount that represents If million
bushels were loaded on American freight
cars. 500 bushels to car, it would i'll n
train over fifteen miles long if transported

Some time since Lord Salisbury, the
English Premier, issued circular to the
representatives of her Majcsty's Govern
ment in the principal cities OF Europe
asking for information as to what laws
are in force as to the carrying of firearms
by private persons in populouS centers'
The reports received go to show that of
the twenty States comprised in the
~rndnent of Europe there are stringent
MS regulating the carrying of weapons
in all of them save in Denmark, the
Duchy of Baden, the Duchy of Coburg,
Montenegro, the Netherlands, Norway
and Sweden, Scryia and Switzerland. In
Turkey regulations ON the subject exist,
but the provisions are very elastic and

Dear heart, then lay your hand in mine,
Wen travel home together,
We've pledged our love in lifes rare wine,
We've had some days almost divine.
Some-clouds and stormy weather.
When first we joined our eager feet
We sang a sadder chorus,
We scarce took time our hopes 10 greet
We rushed our joys in haste TO meet
The world of care before US.
But now, dear heart, you hand in mine,
Wen trudge along together,
We still have draughts of lifes rare wine,
And yet some days almost divine.
While we have left far, far behind
The clouds and stormy weather.

The writer of thoughtful article on
ouilding associations in Chicago makes
the point that they should be conducted
on the principle of furnishing money as
chcaply as possible to borrowers, and not
be conducted as source of profit to in
vcstors, lie points out that in Philadel-
phia, where so much has been accom-
plished by the agency of these institu-
tions, the rate OF interest has always been
low, and the temptation to the subscrib-
ers to borrow has therefore been greater
than in in any other city, and as conse-
quence an immense number of buildings
have been erected for the use of people
who might, if they had not beo= aided
by the associations, have squandersd
their money. The idea seems TO the San
Francisco Chronicle sound one and
might be initiated with profit in that city,
where many, if not all, of the building
clubs ara conducted on the opposite
theory.

Horseshoes That Fell From Heaven

Frank Morris, of Worthington, Wood
County, w. Va, is the owner of a horse
whose shoes literally dropped from the
heavens. Some years ago meteoric
stone fell on the banks of Jenny's Creek,
in Wayne County, and was divided up
among the people of the neighborhood as
soon as it was discovered. The aerolite
contained large percentage of iron, and
some of the fragments were procured by
Morris, who had blacksmith friend
work them up into set of ho,seshoes.
The iron is very hard, and the shoes have
already outlasted two or three ordinary
sets.
