cient Egyptians.
Asparagus was fashionable 200 years
before the Christian era.
Parsnips were much thought of by
the ancient worshipers of Venus.
1t was the custom of the Greeks to
offer beets on silver tray TO Apollo III

Lord Bacon loved the onion so that he
declared the rose would be sweeter

Asparagus promotes the appetite
while furnishing little nourishment and
is good substitute for clans.
Egg-plants, with the inside scooped
out and filled with bread crumbs and
butter, are favorite vegetables for the
table.
The caulitlower is a patrcian among
vegetables and was taken from its Cy-
prus home in Italy and England in
the reign % Elizabeth.
Parsley should always garnsh dish
containing onions, as it takes away the
odor most people object to. 1t even
prevents the aftertaste il eaten by the
individual who loves onions and must
have them.

On the night Of November 4th the
building and stock of the c. J. Lincoln
Company, Little Rock, wholesale drug
gists, was totally destroyed by fire.

were powerless to stay the flames, but
by hard work confined the fire to the
building in which it originated. Next
to the burned structure on the north is
a large warehouse filed with hardware
which was saved by thick fire-walls
On The south, across the alley, is the
throe-story Metropolitan block, and
