The Time Ideas.

The staple drink of our English an
cestors before the introduction of tea
and,coffee was beer or ale. Tea was first
drunk in England in 1910. and coffee
was introduced there in 1862. Choco-
late preceded these drinks by a few
years. but was soon displaced by them.
Among the few vegetables then in use
were articholles. which were made into
pies A superstition prevailed that
vegetables produced extraordinary eff
fects Water cress was believed to
restore the bloom to young ladies'
cheeks. Green ginger was good for
the memory and a conserve of roses
was capital posset at bedtime. Ac-
cOrding to VarmeX conserve of reese
mary and sage is very beneficial to
students, as it doth greatly delight
the braid" All our common vegeta-
bles were at first regarded as medicine
rather than foods. This idea has not
entirely disappeared, for it is consid-
cred a valuable quality in a medicine
to be purely vegetable.

THEY KEEP POND WATER CLEAR.
Goldfish and SuHfish Are Terrors to Green
Scum and Wigglers.

Goldfish and SuHfish Are Terrors to Green
Scum and Wigglers.
Fish have their uses to humanity
over and above serving as food material
or as unwilling caterers to the sport of
the fisherman, says the New York
Sun. Although it may seem odd so to
speak of them, they often are as indiS-
pensable to a country place as a dog or
cat.
If that country place happens to be
one that is supplied with running wa
ter, and this is used for ornament in
ponds or fountains, two things are pref
ty sure to bother the owner.
One is the well-known green scum
which spreads over the waters of ponds
and fountain basins. When its growth
begins the plant is pretty. 1t starts
from the bottom, as soon as the sun
gets high, in May or June, and sends
upward a delicate, graceful, wavy
thread of vivid green. Until it reaches
the surface it remains pretty, but once
there it spreads along and rOts, and is
soon offensive in several ways.
The other nuisance from standing
water, even when it is often renewed
and directly from the springs, is mos
quitoes. The wigglers grow there.
The remedy for both these troubles
is fish, and the two kinds that will cure
them happen to be the two most desira-
BILE for other reasons.
Goldfish will keep the green scum
from growing; and yellow perch, or, as
they are generally called, sunfsh, will
destroy the mosquito wigglers.
The sunfsh one has to catch, but the
goldfish can be bought two for quar-
ter in the fish and bird stores of the
city.
