Rural New Yorker: The English
word of direct Indian origin most
frequently in use is tomato. A native
of tropical or subtropical America, it
was cultivated by the subjects Of the
Incas and Montezumas, as well as by
the other semi civilized natives, long
before the advent of Europeans on
this hemisphere, under the name Of
tumatl or tomatl. Though introduced
into Europe almost as early as its
cOngener, the potato, it is only lately
that it has made its way into popular
favor. There twas first known to
the English as love apple, to the
French as pomme d'amour and to the
Italians as pomi d'amore and these
names are still in use, perpetuating
the old widespread notion that its
use as food had an influence on the
amatory passions.

the circuit was next to meet when he
saw in a slough pig that could not
extrlcate himself, but, with all his
struggles, only sank deeper Lincoln
had on new suit of clothes, and, not
wishing to soil them, he drove on; but,
unable to get the pigs unfortunate
situation out of his mind, he at last
returned to help the poor creature,
and succeeded in getting it out after
solling mis- clothes a good deal, and
once more started on. Beginning to
examine the motives which sent him
back to help the pig, he at first thought
1t was for the animals sake, but fin
ally decided that he went, as he told
friend, to take a pain out of his own
mind" This is a view of sympathy
