10 the many patrons of Meyers Dry

the Messrs. Meyers with selling Wooi

Origin of the Peach.

Nothing is now more universally &C
cepted than the fact that the peach is an
improved variety of the almond. The
almond has a thin shell around the
stone, which splits open and shows the
stone when mature. This outer skin
has simply become feshy in the peach,
80 that it is all that gives it its specific
character. 1t seems now clear from in
vestigation in the history of ancient
Babylon that in their gardens, nearly
1000 years ago, the peach was cultivated
then as it now is.
1t must have been many years before
this that the peach was improved from
the almond, and this fact goes to show
the great antiquity of the fruit Possibly
gardening in some respects, at least so
far as it relates to many of our cultivated
fruits, was as far advanced 5000 or 5000
or perhaps 10000 years back as it is to-
day.
Phgnicians, many thousands of years
ago, as is proved by the records, had in
their gardens almonds, apricots, bananas,
citrons, figs, grapes, olives, peaches,
pomegranates; and even sugar cane was
in extensive cultivation. Certainly this
shows how far advanced these nations
we're in garden culture many years ago.

Poisonous and Harmless Snakes.

There is a certain physiological diff
erence between the poisonous and harm
less snakes, which exists very plainly in
their manner of dentition. All snakes
are objects of aversion and dread to
mankind, so much so that to be bitten
by snake has at times been so fearful
to the victim as to have produced death,
although the snake was harmless. Such
is the instructive dread with which these
reptiles are thought of that it may be
desirable to have some easy mode of
distinguishing. the one kind from the
other. This distinguishing Characters
tic is afforded by the teeth. In all pois-
onous snakes there are only two rows of
teeth, the fang or fangs being ar
ranged either within the two rows or
outside of them. The harmless snakes
have four distinct rows of teeth. and
when the bite shows this kind of wound
and not any single deeper or larger
puncture there need be no apprehen
sion. New York Times.

The Reward of a Bridge Builder.

1t has frequently been observed that
public benefactors often have no other
reward than the consciousness of their
good deeds. The inhabitants of the lit
tie town Of Loschwitz, near Dresden,
are determined that no reproach shall
be leveled against them in matter of
this kind. Their burgomaster is a
worthy man who has ruled over them
with signal ability, and who, in partic-
ular, has succeeded, during his tenure
of Office, in constructing bridge over
the Elbe at a place where several pre-
vious attempts to do 80 had failed.
The communal council have assem-
bled in solemn deliberation to consider
what reward to offer to their distin-
guished fellow citizen, and the upshot is
that he has been officially informed
that, in recognition Of his services, he
will he permitted to cross the bridge as
often ~ he likes without paying the
