Pepper In Old Times.

DR.. Adolph Miller, of Philadelphfa.
president OF the Pennsylvania Nv
cological Club. in dissertation on the
pepper plant, says that during the mid
Ole ages In Europe pepper was the most
esteemed and important of all the
spices. Genoa, Venice and other COM
merclal cities Of Central Venice were
indebted to their traffic in pepper for
large part of their wealth. It's i'm
portance as means of promoting CON-.
mercial activity and civilization during
the middle ages, can hardly be overrat-
ed. Tribute was levied in pepper, and
donations were made in this spice
which was frequently also used as a
medium OF exchange in place of money.
When the imperial city of Rome was
besie'ged by Alaric the King of the
Goths, IN 408 A. D., the ransom de-
manded included 5000 pounds of gold.
10000 pounds Of silver and 5000 pounds
OF pepper, illustrating the importance
OF this spice at that time.
So-caIIed pepper rents, common dur
ing the middle ages, consisted in an
obligation imposed upon a tenant to
supply his lord with pound of pepper
at stated times, showing how accent
able was this favorite condiment and
how great was the desire of the wealth.
Ter classes to secure regular supply
OF 1t. Spice dealers were known as
plperariI; In English, pepperers, and in
French, poivriers AS a fraternity. or
guild, they existed in London in the
reign of Henry II. (1154-DS9). Taey
were subsequently incorporated into
the Grocers' Company, and had the
control OF the trade in spices, drugs.
dye-stuffs and metals.
The price of pepper during. the mid
ole ages was always exorbitantly high.
as the rulers of Egypt extorted a large
revenue from all who were engaged in /
the spice trade. The high cost of this
important condiment incfted the Por-
tuguese to seek for sea passage to In
dia. Some time after this discovery "a.
D. 1889 there was considerable fall in
the price of pepper.

Artistic Reforms Arc Being Arranged By
Ea the Exhibition COMMITTEES.
Paris is to be perfect paradise IA
1900, If energetic officials and active
committees carry out their present
good intentions. Besides protection
for the pedestrian, in the form Of new
trafhc regulations, the authorities are
determined to provide as well for the
aesthetic proclivities of the foot pas
sengers. Those who drive, cycles, or
ply motor cars, ILL, OF course, be too
intent on conforming each one to his
own particular portion of the new rules
TO look at the novel decoration Of the
streets These are, In future, to be a
JOY for ever. Klosks, newspaper booths.
omnibus Offices, all the various small
edifices which take up the pavement
IN Paris thoroughfares, are to be de-
signed on new and artistic lines. The
lamp-posts are to be aesthetic, board
ings are to be tastefully decorated and
a new poster craze is likely to ensue.
Private persons will be called upon
to cooperate for the general good. NJ.
de Selves, Prefect of the Seine Depart.
ment, has already repeated the rules
formally enacting that frontages of
houses on the street should form
perfectly even line. and 1t is even eu-
pected that Paris will eventually as

public rejoicing, also. the artistic de-

The Worlds Laundrie..

The hardest worked laundresses in
the world are, no doubt, the Koreans.
AS their husbands give them about a
dozen dresses to wash and every man
wears hugely baggy pantaloons, which
come up to his neck like those of a
clown, they have plenty to do. Cen
orally the washing is done in cold wa
ter and very often in a stream or riv.
er.
The Japanese rip apart their gar
ments before washing them, and. in
stead OF ironing them, they lay them
while wet on a fiat board and stand
this up against the house to dry. The
method is quite satisfactory. for not
only are there no wrinkles left. but
some OF the materials have quite lus-
tire. The Japanese woman has no
Washhouse, but does her washing ont
OF doors, generally in tub about six
inches high and about as big round az
the ordinary dish tub. She rubs ONT
the dirt with her hands and sometimes
she uses the greasy japanese soap and
treads the clothes with her bare feet.
Chlnese women do their laundry work
in much the same style.
In Egypt washing is done mostly by
men, who stand naked on the banks
Of the Nile and pound the wet clothes
on the smooth stones at the rivers
brink until the dirt is removed from
them. French women pound the
clothes with paddles in the same way
as the Egyptians upon the stones be-
side river. ,5 .,r5sssl. etl9sd
Siamese women wear their gowns
Whle bathing and wash them in the
river while enjoying their bath. When
hey have finished they go up the steps
Of their floating houses and, having
wrapped a sheet around themselves,
they wiring the water out Of their wet
clothing and hang them up to dry. u
