WHEAT a,.a whence 1t Came.

Wheat, which is now the bread corn of
twelve European nations, and is FIST sup
planting maize in America nnd sev eral in
ierior grains in India, was no doubt widely
grown in the prehistoric world. The Chinese
cultivated 1t 290o b. c. as gift dire ct from
heaven; the Egyptians attributed its origin
to Isis and the Greeks TO Ceres. "A classic
account of the distribution of wheat over the
prlmeval world shows that Ceres, having
taught her favorite Triptolemus agriculture
and the art of bread making, gave him her
chariot, celestial vehicle which he used in
useful travels for the purpose of dis ributing
corn to all nations
Ancient monuments show that the cultiya-
ton OF wheat had been established in Egypt
before the invasion of the shephe -ds. and
There Is evidence that more product ye varie-
ties OF wheat have taken the place of one. at
least, OF the ancient sorts. Innumerab va
rletleS exist OF common wheat Col LIE Cou-
teur, OF Jersey, cultivated $50 varieties. Mr.
Darwin mentioned "A French gentleman who
had collected 31- varieties, and the great firm
oi french seed merchants, Vilmorin- Andrieux
et &c, cultivate about twice as many in their
trlal grounds near Paris
lhree small grained varieties of common
wheat were cultivated 10y the first lake
" A4''S "a SNltIeTllilu ttltile OF lrC Jan war;,
ana as well as by the less ancient lake dwell
erS OF western Switzerland and of Italy, by
the people of Hungary in the stone age, and
oy the Egyptians on the evidence Of IA brick
OF a pyramid in which a grain was imbedded,
anu 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 its culture in all
the more temperate parts of Europe, Asia
ana Africa, but it seems improbable that
wheat has ever been found growing persist
emily In wild state, although the fact has
oiten been asserted 10y poets, travellers and
historians
In the Odyssey, for example, We are told
that wheat grew in Sicily without the aid OF
man, but "a blind poet could not have seen
this himself, and a botanical fact ran hardly
DO accepted from "a writer whose own exist
ence has been contested Diodorus repeats
the tradition that Osiris found wheat and
barley growing promscuously in Palestine.
out neither this nor other discove les of per
tlStent Wild wheat seem to us to be credible.
seeing that wheat does not appear TO be en-
dowed with power of persiStenay except
under culture. Edinburgh Review.
