cEREAL STATISTICS.

There are said to be over 600 varieties
Of wheat.
In India the cultivation of rice ante
dates history.
The first ancient author to mention
rye was Pliny.
Every language is said to have its own
name for wheat.
Oats were not known to the Hebrews
or the Egyptians.
Fine flour composes about so per
cent of the grain.
The straw of rye is often of far more
value than the grain.
Pliny mentions oatmeal as fayoritc
food OF the Germans.
Spelt undoubtedly grows wild on the
plains of Mesopotamia.
Sprlt is favorite grain in South Ger
many and Switzerland.
Wheat is believed to be an evolution
from = mountain grass.
The Swiss lake dwcllers made more
use Of spelt than Of wheat.
Barley is found mentioned on the
earliest Egyptian monuments.
"Slarch wheat" grown in Switzer-
land, has to grains to each ear.
Maize has probably more enemies
than any other species of grain.
Rice Is said to be tho staple food Of
nearly oAc-half Of the human race.
1t ia said that mules fed on cora that
has the smut will loose their hoofs.
Oats sometimes escape from cultiva-
ton and grow from year TO year SO per.
| sistently as to seem wild. They lave
been found thus In regions as widely
separated as Algeria and Japan, the
Pyrenees and North China, the Hebrdes
and the Desert of Mount Sinai.
The common bread in Sweden is a
! rye cake, about the size of batter cake,
and with hole in tho middle. These
cakes are baked twice year, and after
baking arc hung UP to dry. They arc
said to be nourishing, and are about as
easy to chew as disks Of mortar.
In almost every country of Europe
maize is given a distinctive and errone-
Gus name. In Germany and Austria
it is called Turkish wheat; in Lorraine
ii is designated Roman corn; in Tuscany
it is Sicilian corn; in Provence IL is Bar
barry corn; the Turks call it Egyptian
corn, ana in Egypt it is known as Syrian
dourra.

mummy cases, has never been known

arc supposed to be the result of fraud on
the part of Arabs. who frequently intro
ducn modern grain into the sarcopha9i
in order to impose on the crcdulity Of
travellers.
Rolanists say that the Indian corn is
grass of the tribe OF Phaarideae, that
the leaves are interchangeable aud

was short in his accounts about $4,000.
A great crowd of people from that end

coughed in sepulchral manner. The
man turned away.
"I'll make it dime," came q timic

The ice once broken, the collins com
manded a reader sale. IL seemed to b.
agreed that 10 cents was the tbp-notcl
figure, and the auctioneer having then
bid up to that sim, would let them go.
Frank Brown, a local dealer in sun

Iarper's Bazaar.
White undressed kid gloves are worn
with full.drcss evening toilette, no
matter what color the gown may be,
and are of any length fancied, some
meeting the short sleeves, while Others
leave the round elbow exposed. These
white gloves are also worn with calling
costumes in the orchestra seats.
Small Empire fans are the newest
fancy, but many of larger size are
carried. White kid fans painted by an
artist in such matters and mounted ON
sticks of mother.of-pearl are charming.
Gauze fans with bluet spangles or those
of glowing led forming the decoration
are carried by young women. The
graceful ostrich-feather fans are still
used, both in colors and black, many
having glittering spangles rs an orna-
ment.
White satin slippers with pointed toes
trimmed with rosettes of mousseline de
sole, very large and full, are worn with
dresses of any color. But white gloves
and white slippers give the effect OF
large hands and feet, and while there is
nothing to vie with the white gloves
the slippers may give place to those
made of the material of the gown, OIL
else to the black satin slipper which
makes the foot look very small.

4. Fashionable Utensil with 1000 Year,
of History.
Man Ven. l1ant

NOW lNIh ENchihB AboI
Women who first priced their chatting.
dishes for their convenience are now
feeling an added pleasure in using
utensil that has history at least OF
1000 years. They refer to what Seneca
said of them, and quote Soyer's descrip-
ton of those used by the ancient Greeks
and Romans.
The dish is also referred to by Cicero,
and is supposed to be the "authespa," a
kind of saucepan of Corinthian brass of
considerable value, and made with such
art that its contents cooked instantly,
and with little fire. This simple and
ingenious vessel possessed a double
bottom, the uppermost one holding the
light delicacies destined for the dessert,
and the fire was underneath. Another
author says: "Not only did the chatting
dish adorn the tables at royal banquets,
and contribute to the gastronomic en-
joyments of the rich, but it was In high
favor then as now among the repre-
sentatives Of the histrionic art. Pliny
relates that the tragic actor Esopus had
dish worth 1000 sestercii." The
chatting. dish was known in America as
early as 1920, at about which time it
was recorded that a wealthy father,
wishing to give his daughter "a truly
elegant wedding outfit" ordered for
her from England among other things,

ABOUT TOBACCO.

Oil of bergamot and altar of roses,
together with orris root and rosewood,
are all used to flavor SNUFF and chewing
tobacco.
Every man who smokes or chews helps
to support the government. IN lSJS the
government revenues from tobacco were
$31 ,00O,0H.
The medicinal use of tobacco is almost
wholly for external application, the
nausea it causes preventing its internal
employment
The people of Great Britain consume
less tobacco per head than those of any
other civilized country, only 20 ounces
to tho ilhn6isant.
The MohaMnedan world was once
divided on tho subject Of smoking.
some thcologiuns declared smoking to
be worse than murder.
Since 1855 the Government has col
lected in revenue on tobacco the stupcn-
duus sum of besiG,5l2,367. The best
year was 1882, SiT,S0l,Js9.
The valley Of the Connecticut river
produces tobacco leaf SO tlne and silky
that 1t Is often exported to Cuba and
other countries to use MS wrapper.
Stanley found tobacco perfectly ac-
climatcG among African tribes that had

weed is universal in the dark continent.
Tobacco has the power of relaxing
the muscular system to marked degree
and advantage las been taken of this
property, both in medicine aud surgery.
The hookah, or oriental state pipe, is
deemed of such Importance that in the
courts Of princes u special functionary
has no other duty than to keep it in or

Tobacco stems were long considered
almost waste product, but will soon

eating green houses and to make sheep

The adulteration Of tobacco by the
use of other leaves can always be dc.

the tobacco leaf varies materially from
all others, .a -...
The dried leaf has little Of the aroma
of the manufactured tobacco. This Il

and White Paint.
An English writer to London paper
gives this information regarding a prepa-
ration to aid in fire projection:
II fiAd," he writes, that painting
woodwork of any kind with several
coats of silicatc Of soda and finishing
with mixture of this solution and
sufficient common whiting to make it
about as thick as ordinary paint is an
excellent protection against fire. Wood
treated in this way will not take fire
from mere contact with flame; it re-
quires to be heated till destructive dis
tilation begins. Then, of course, gases
are given out which ignite, and the
wood is gradually converted into char
coal, but until destructive distillaton
takes place the coated wood will not
support combustion.
"A few years since Ihad some screens
made like ordinary doors, some pre-
pared as have described and some not.
They were then placed over II fire OF
shavlngs, which was kept constantly re-
newed In 10 minutes the unprcpared
screens were blazing away. After 40
minutes the coated screens were still in-
tact and able 10 support themselve;
they held together for an hour, al
though pierced in many places with
holes, and when the fire was removed
they did not continue to burn"
