Sacred Nuts of Japau.

Although well known to travellers and
collectors OF curiosities, the horn nut, or
sacred nut, of Japan was almost wholly
unknown to fruit and nut dealers in this
country prior to 1883, when Il Broadway

the first large consignment They are
called sacred nuts because used in GER
tain forms OF japanese worship, where
they are placed on the altar and ignited.
Being very rich in oil they burn with a
hot, blush flame and give off a peculiar
Odor, the fumes being supposed to rise as
III acceptable incense to the gods. They
grow under water and have leaf like an
American lily, the form of the nut itself
being an almost exact counterpart of an
Asian buffalo's head, dropping horns and

tasteless, but when cooked the flavor re-

A Suggestion Concerning Late Dinners


If we could all see that amusements, thai
society, the frequent intercourse of friend
ships, the intellectual meetings of minds
are as important to the human well being
as any other cultivation, or as any earthly
acquisition, we should be willing to set
apart some time for society as its due
Now, how is it? We give up the day TO
two things, work and eating-even the lat
ter not being so much enjoyed as it should
be for want of time. The claims of society
are crowded into the flag end of the even
ing. People by that time, are not in very
good trim for society, and especially for
another meal. They have little life 10
give to company, and if, in response to
the tender hospitality, they 0 TO a friends
house and eat a fourth meal they do so
with little enjoyment and at the expense
Of health. All this might be changed with
out violence TO oUr business or to our rea-
sonablc customs.
Take the case of evening parties. In
stead OF calling them ut late hours, in win
ter, say. let them be held not later than 6
o'clock. Let the supper or dinner. as the
case may be, be served rs soon as the guests
arrive, so that it would take the place of a
regular meal This would only require
men and women to abandon their usual
avoCations an hour earlier than usual. In
Il word, to take into account social life as Il
necessity. Assembling at G, the company
could diSperse at about the usual time now
of gathering together There are few PEG
pie who viii not agree that this would be a
sensible practice.-New York Ledger.

Remedy for Vyirew orms.

Ada three or four pounds of unslaked
lime to every bushel of soil This will
make the wireworms so sick that they
will give the seeding carnations wide
berth in the future; besides, the health
and color of the plants will he so much
improved that we will think they belong
to new race Of pinks. The best way
to use the lime is 70 spread the soil in
fiat heap ten or twelve inches thick,
then place the desired amount of lime
in humps on the top; when the latter has
become slaked and pulverized, the whole
should be turned over two or three times
and thoroughly mixed. It is then ready
for use, says American Florist.
