some" As commerce brought them
within reach Of the people, condiments,
in simple or complicated forms, came

history the 'spicery" was special de
partment of the court, and had its pro
per officers. In the fourteenth century
spices were both costly and rare, most

disc, nutmegs, caraway and spikenard
The anclents, especially the Greeks ant
Romans in the luxurious period of theil
history, used condiments very freely

A singular way of removing oxygen
from the air by the aid of plant is
described by DR. 7. L. Phipson in The
Chemical News Inside glass bell jar,
suspended over water, is placed a mush-
room, and sunlight is allowed to fall
upon the plant, The mushroom absorbs
the oxygen from the air in the jar, and
the carbonic acid formed during the
process is absorbed by the water, which
gradually rises in the jar TO one fifth OF
its height The mushroom now dries
up, but its animation is only suspend
