heavy hand of oppressive discrlmina-
ton be lifted from them and that
they be lowed al open field and
an equal chance with the other great

ORIGIN OF FRUITS.
Historical Facts Concerning Some Famil-
lar Fruits and Vegetables.


Historical Facts Concerning Some Famil-
lar Fruits and Vegetables.
What would become of the wanderer
in the deserts of Arabia and Barbary If
Providence suddenly decreed the ex-
tinction of the date palm? Thousands
of human beings would inevitably
perish, for the inhabitants of Fezzan
live wholly upon it's saccharine and
delicious fruit for nine months of the
year. In Egypt, Arabia and Persia 1t
forms the principal food of the people,
and a mans wealth is computed by the
number of date palms he possesses.
When dried the fruit becomes an i'm
portant commercial staple. Cakes OF
dates pounded and kneaded until solid
enough to be cut with Ratchet supply
the provision of the African caravans on
their toilsome journey through the sun
lighted Sahara. The date stones or
seeds are roasted as substitute for
coffee, or ground for the sake of their
oil, and the residuum given as food to
cattle. All are familiar with the man
ner in which dates in our markets are
put up. There are several kinds known
to commerce, the most important being
''Fard" and Persian" The former
comes principally from Arabia, and the
latter, of course, from Persia. Green
peas-green peas were not used as food
in France until the middle of the six
tenth century. Some years later their
edible qualities found appreciation
in England. Cabbage-the cabbage
was highly esteemed by q the
Egyptians, and was the first
course" Of all their repasts. 1t was no
less valued by the Greeks and Romans.
Cato pronounced it a remedy for all
evils; Erasistatus recommended it as a
panacea for paralysis; and Hippocrates
as cure for collie. Asparagus was an
GENTLY cultivated on very extensive
scale; its stems in the Roman gardens
weighing three pounds each. The
cherry originally came from Cerasus, in
Asia, and came to us through England,
and to England through Italy. The
apricot came originally from Armenia.
The plum was anciently cultivated in
Damascus, though certain species seem
to have been derived from Africa. The
apple came from Asia, according to
some authorities; according to others,
it is African, and reached Normandy
through Spain and France. 1t is prob
able that the Baldwin is Of American
origin. The orange is traced from the
Celestial Empire, China. The ounce
came from Ceylon, in Crete, SO authori-
ties tell us. The fig is claimed by the
Athenians as indigenous to the soil of
Attica, but it was probably brought from
region further East. The pomegranate
is the fruit Of species Of tree belonging
to the order myrtac0. The outside rind
is thin but tough, and it's juice stains
every thing it touches with an underlined
but indelible blue. The average size is
about that of an orange. Within the
grains are arranged in longitudinal
comp artments as compactly as corn on
the cob, and they closely resemble those
OF pale red corn, except that they are
nearly transparent and very beautiful.
They are ripe about the middle of Oc-
tober and remain in good condition all
winter.-American ANALYST.

A report comes by way of Germany that
novel use OF electricity has been made in
India for the prevention of the intrusion of
snakes into dwellings. Before all the doors
and around the house two wires are laid,
connected with an electrical apparatus.
Should snake attempt to crawl over the
wiress he receives shock Of electricity,
which either kills or trightens HIM into a
hasty retreat.
