The Recent Adoption Of Tomatoes into
General Use in England.

American readers, accustomed to see
tomatoes in some shape on the table nearly
every day OF the year, will scarcely appre-
ciate how nearly that familiar vegetable
comes to being rare delicacy in England.
We quote the following from the London
Iattler of recent date "Ten years ago
it was an exception to find this delightful
fruit on the tables of any but the wealthy !:
but to day they are to be found in most
houses during the season, extensive cult
Walton having brought down the prices so
as to make them come within the reach of
all The tomato, or love apple, as it was
formerly called, originally came from
South America, but it was not until the
climate of the United States was found to
be eminently adapted to their growth that
they came into general use, the taste for
the same spreading to Europe. 1t is, in
addition to its valuable hygienic qualities,
one of the most profitable fruits to Guilt
vate, and we know of one private gentle
man who sends no less than one ton to
market daily in the early season, the price
paid for the same averaging I'D per pound,
all of them being grown under glass. Few
come to perfection in the open air, owing
to the short duration of sunshine in Eng
land Like the olive, it was long time
before people became accustomed to their
peculiar and delicate flavor, but each day
they grow in popularity, so much SO, in
deed, that Cape Town has been requisi
toned for supply of the same when they
are out of season here"

"There is One Who CAM p

In conversation with Mr.. Moody,
few years ago, he related the following in
cident, illustrating the power of Him who
is mighty to save:
At the close of an evening meeting in
the church at Chicago, a well dressed
young man came in from the street and in
quired for Mr.. Moody. After little
search Mr.. Moody was found, and coming
forward he greeted the stranger cordially
and inquired his Grand With much
earnestness the young man said:
II have come to ask you to save me- !
am going to ruin from the use of drink,
and unless you save me | shall go down. !"
Mr.. NJ still warmly held the outstretched
hand as he said earnestly, II cant!'
With evident disappointment his caller
said, "Why, you surprise me, Mr.. Moody,
it is at great sacrifice of my pride that
have come to you ; my mother and sister
told me you could save me, and now you
say you can not
"No." said Mr.. NJ, ''indeed l can not :;
but there is One act0 can ! Come, and III
lead you to Him.
They went into side room, and there
with simplicity and loving earnestness Mr.
Moody told him of his lost condition,
the mighty love and power of Jesus, and
of His deep personal interest in him. They
knelt in prayer-the prayer of penitence.
faith, and acceptance the burden rolled
off, and there was JOY in heaven over an,
other soul converted.
Yes, "7Here is One ach0 c1n!' Blessed
be God for the simplicity of the Gospel
method of salvation.

How to Live Happily.

Thomas Jefferson wrote the following
excellent advice. There is great deal
of human nature and good sense in it:
Harmony in the married state is the first
thing to be arrived at. Nothing can pre-
serve the affections uninterrupted but
firm resolution never to differ in will, and
a determination in each other to consider
the love Of the other of more value than
any object whatever on which the wish
had been fixed. How light, in fact, is the
sacrifice of any other wish when weighed
against the affections of one with whom
we are to pass our whole life. And no OPP
position in a single instance will hardly in
itself produce alienation, yet everyone has
a pouch into which all these little opposi-
lions are put, and while that is filling, the
alienation is insensibly going on, and when
filled it is complete. 1t would puzzle
either to say why, because no one differ
ence of opinion has been marked enough
to produce serious effect by itself But
he or she finds his or her affections wearied
out by constant stream Of little checks
and obstacles. Other sources of discon-
tent very common, indeed, are the little
cross purposes of husband and wife IN
common conversation disposition either
to criticise and question whatever the
other says; desire always to demonstrate
and make him feel himself in the wrong,
especially in sympathy. Nothing is SO
goading on the part of either. Much bet
ter, therefore, if our cdmpanion views
thing in light different from what we
do, to leave him in quiet possession of his
view. What is the use of rectifylng him
if the thing be unimportsnt? and if inporr-
tant, let it pass for the present and walt
for a softer moment and more conclilatory
occasion of revising the subject together

Value of Civility.
UNAFFECTED COURTESY AS A GENERAL
PASSPORT TO FAVOR.

UNAFFECTED COURTESY AS A GENERAL
PASSPORT TO FAVOR.
Civility is fortune in itself, for a cour-
teous man usually succeeds in life and
that even when persons of ability some
times fail
The famous Duke of Marlborough,
Queen Anne's favorite, is a case in point.
1t was said of him by contemporary that
his agreeable manners often converted an
enemy into friend and by another that
it was more pleasing to be denied favor
by His Grace than to receive one from
other men.
The gracious manner of Charles James
Fox preserved him from personal dislike,
even at time when he was politically the
most unpopular man in the United King
dom. The history of our country is full
of examples of success obtained by civility.
The experience of every man furnishes, ii
he will but recall the past, frequent in
stances where conciliatory manners have
made the fortunes of physicians, lawyers,
divines, politicians, merchants, and indeed
individuals of all pursuits.
On being introduced to a stranger, a
mans affability, or the reverse, creates in
simultaneously prepossession in his be-
half, OF. awakens unconsciously prejudice
against him. To man, civility is, in fact,
what beauty is to woman-it is general
passport to favor, letter of recommends
ton written in language that every
stranger understands. The best of men
have often injured themselves by irrita-
bility and consequent rudeness, as the
greatest scoundTels have frequently sue
ceeded by their plausible manners.
OF two men, equal in all other respects,
the courteous one has twice the chance for
fortune that the diseourteous one has,

immigration.

II is good for the general merchant, for
it will afford him an opportunity to sell
more goods.
1t is good for the lumber dealer, for it
will be the means of disposing of his build
ing material.
It is good for the hardware man for he
will sell more machinery.
1t is good for the miller, he will have
more grain to grind.
It is good for the mason and carpenter,
for they will have all they can do.
1t is good for the blacksmith and wheel
wright, for their shops will be crowded.
1t is good for the furniture dealer.
It is good for the postmaster, for it will
increase his salary.
1t is good for the doctor.
1t is good for the lawyer, for by and by
they may have legal business to transact.
1t is good for the farmer, for they will be
of mutual aid and assistance to each other.
1t is good for the surveyor, for boundary
lines will be sharply defined.
The more land in cultivation the more
regular the seasons. The more crops
produced the better the market.
It is good for the newspapers, for the
more patronage they have the more pride
they feel and the harder they labor for the
good Of the country.
It is good for all, for it will reduce
taxes. There is only SO much money re-
quired to run the State and country gov
ernments anyway the greater number to
pay the tax, the less each one will have to

God Will Know"

One evening about Christmas a gentle
man was stro]ling along street in Toronto,
with apparently no object in view but to
pass away the time. His attention was at,
tracted by the remark of little girl to a
companion in front of fruit stand:
81 wish | had an orange for ma
The gentleman saw that the children,
though poorly dressed, were clean and
neat, and calling them into the store, lie
loaded them with fruits and candies
WHAT'S your name?" asked one of the
girls.
why do you want to know?' queried
the gentleman.

The gentleman here turned to leave,
scarcely daring to speak, when the little
one added "Well, it don't matter God

he Cigarette Habit.

There is bill pending before the Penn
sylvania Legislature to prohibit the sale of
tobacco to persons under sixteen years of
age. The act is evidently aimed at the
cigarette traffic, which is chiefly supported
by the boys who believe that it is an evil
dence OF mantiness to puff away at wad
of paper favored with morphinized to-
bacco.
Tobacco is a very good thing in its
place. 1t is soothing to the nerves, and Is
really in the nature Of medicine some
temperaments demand it, others reject it;
but the fact remains that the cigarette is
the worst and most poisonous form of to-
bacco. Grown men Go not smoke it, and
sensible men are disguised with the smell
of it. The cigarette habit, however,
should not be confused with the tobacco
habit. The tobacco habit is bad enough,
no doubt, especially for boys, but it is not
to be compared with the cigarette habit,
which is so filthy that it partakes of the
nature of Immortality.
We do not know how the proposed
Pennsylvania law would operate, even if
it were passed. 1t seems to be very
vague affair at best. Probably the best
method of preventing boys from running
their health by indulging in cigarettes
would be to prohibit the sale of cigarettes
in the State. GSuch law might hurt the
feelings of manufacturers and retail deal
ers, but it is better for these persons to
have their feelings ru1iled little than for
our boys and young men to grow up sallow-
faced and pigeon breasted as a result of
rice paper and morphine poisoning.
We trust the Pennsylvania bill will be
adopted, but we are not sure it will be
effective atlanta Constitution.

Truthful Statement.

The California Florist and Gardener
says: "Many California papers in their
eagerness to help the State, have unwit-
tingly worked great injury, from which
we are now suffering. The horticultural
resources of California are really great,
but the truth is often best unsaid unless
accompanied with an explanation of attend
ing circumstances. Whenever an extra
large yield of tree or field is had, the fact is
heralded in the papers an as example of
what every inch of ground in their respec-
tive section will easily do. Strangers are
led to believe that lands most any where
purchased at any price, will, with but lit
tie labor and expense, produce enormous
crops. The result is that many people
failing to realize the golden dreams pictured
to them, become Disguised, feeling their
confidence abused, and that the facts have
been grossly misrepresented, remove to
other counties or States, at considerable loss
to themselves and the communities in
which they have lived"

Important Decision in Favor of the
Southern Pacific,

SAN FRANCISCO, March IA - In the
United States Circuit Court Judge Sawy er
to day rendered an important decision. By
it the demurrer of the United States, in
the case of the Southern Pacific Railroad
Company VS.. the United States, is over
ruled and the proposition laid down that
the United States can be sued by subject
The Southern Pacific Company brought
suit against the government in the Circuit
Court under an act Of congress of March
3, 1887, entitled can act to provide for the
bringing of suits against the government
of the United States" in setting up the
claim to tract of land against the United
States, and asking that it's title to the
land be established in the petitioner by
decree of this court
The lands are odd numbered sections
CA" lying in the limit of lands granted
by the United States to the company, by
act approved July, 1886. The petitioner
claims the act alleged, if true, shows that
the lands were subject to the grant and
that the petitioner has performed all the
necessary conditions. Its right to a patent
is shown, yet the proper officers refuses to
issue the patent as required by law. The
petitioner prays that it may be adjudged
entitled to the patent and have such fur
ther relief as may be agreeable to equity.
The United States demurs to the PROPOSE
ton on the ground that the court has no
jurisdiction in such suit, and that the
United States cannot be sued in such a
CASE
The court says:
''In this case the claim is founded upon
statute of the United States, and upon
the statutory contract, and the value of
the matter in dispute ez ceeds $1,000, and
is less than $40, 600. If the matters -
legged then constitute title claim u StV
the meaning of the term as used ilss sic
statute, the United States are suable there
on in the court, ard the court has juris-
diction over it, concurrent with the Court
of Claims. After careful consideration of
the matter, am satisfied that they do con-
stitute claim within the meaning of the
act. The statute is remedial, and remedial
statutes are to be literally cons trued."
