All our garden vegetables are mere
ly types improved by long cultivation
of wild species. The wild cabbage Is
common enough in places by the sea,
but is of no use for food in its wild
state. Indeed, ii will take a botanist
to tell that 1t was a cabbage at ALL
Scotland owes the cabbage to Crom-
wells soldiers. The caulilower is but
a cultivated improvement on the cab
bage. 1t was brought to perfection in
Cyprus, and was very little known
until about a century ago. The pars-
nip is another native of this country.
You may find it along almost any
hedgerow but it is small and intense
ly bitter in its wild state Parsnip is
grown more in Ireland than elsewhere.
In Ulster sort of beer is made from
the root.
Celery is a native of Great Britain.
1t grows luxuriantly in bitches and
brooks; but, like the others, wild cell
cry is nasty-even poisonous. We owe
the delicious eatable celery to a
French prisoner of war, Field Mar
shal Tallard, whom Marlborough beat
at Blenheim in 17Ol.
If asked what was the most import
biil tNVHl III lHe history OF BrltlSn
vegetables. most people would say
the bringing over of the potato from
its home In America. They would be
wrong. The introduction of the tur-
nip-that is, of the Swedish variety
was of much greater value. Until
Britain got the field turnip, people had
to live during the winter chiefly on
salted meat. And severe winters were
dreaded on account Of the terrible
mortality among sheep, which were
then left out at pasture all through
the cold weather. The growing of
swedes changed all that by providing
cheap and wholesome food for stock
when penned up. Turnips like so
many either vegetables, same from
Holland about 1900.
by the way, although England gem
orally gets the credit for growing the
first European potatoes, it was really
Spain which did so. The potato is
still found growing wild in a few
spots in the high tablellnds of Mexico.
Onions and cucumbers are two of
the very oldest known vegetables.
Like peas, the Egyptians grew them
at least thirty centuries ago. Indeed,
to the onion belongs probably the hon.
or of being the first vegetable primes
val man ever made trial of. onions
are not found growing wild anywhere;
but a kind of leek is not uncommon in
southern Siberia, which is very like
the Welsh national emblem.

Troublesome to the Army.

During the civil war, as we'll as In
our late war with Spain, diarrhoea was
one of the most troublesome diseases
the army had to contend with. In
many instances it became chronic and
the old soldiers still suffer from It.
Mr.. David Taylor, of Wind Ridge,
Greene county, Pa, is one of these.
He uses Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy and says he
never found anything that would give
him such quick relief. 1t is for sale

to the hospital and when the man was
carried into the operating room and
laid on the floor 1t was learned that he
was suffering more from the effects of
too much fire-water than the fall he
received. Jones was again loaded on
the wagon and taken to the station
house, where he was locked up to await
the disposition of his case by Alder
man Davis this morning.
This same man wandered into snow
drift last winter and had both feet
frozen, and as a result spent several
months in the hospital. He sustained
a long cash over his right eye last
evening by falling from the wagon and
was otherwise shaken up by the fall.

In contrast with his primitive prototype,
the modern rascal is noticeable first of all
for his versatility. He is no longer merely
a reckless thief. a dexterous liar or
coarse practical Joker.
With his increasing complexity of life his
sphere has widened UNNECESSARILY and his
motives and ambitions have been stretched
to cover everything in. the material and
moral universe. So we have Baldassare
cultivating cunning that he may take his
vengeance on Tito Melerva, and Tito too
indolently fond of his own sweet will and
too ambitious for the favor Of the Medicis
to seek power or pleasure by the straight
and narrow way. We have Becky Sharp
trucking matchlessly for title, and Leices-
ter scheming less adroitly If more reckless
ly for throne. And as curiously modern
variants we have the philanthropic rascal
in Roden's Corner and the rascal on princi-
pie in Beggars All. Some play for the
prize. and some, like Rupert of Hentzau,
love best the hazards of the game; some
like BECKY. tread hard on human hearts,
and others. like Gilbert Parker's Pretty

One day when calling upon Gambetta, l
found him vastly amused over a visit which
he had received a few minutes previously
from the late Gen. Meredith Read, who for
a number Of years was United States envoy
at Athens. The general, who until that time
had been a perfect stranger to the great
French statesman. had entered the latter's
presence, carrying in his hand a volume en-
titled Men Of the Time.'' or some work of
the kind. This he opened, without saying
a word, and laid on Gambetta's desk be-
fore attempting to greet him or to explain
the purpose of his call. Then. pointing to
a column which contained very eulogistic
biographical notice of himself. he exclaim-
ed, kindly read that" and when Gambet-
ia. who read English with the utmost IA
cility, had, in compliance with the request.
cast his eye over the page in question Gen.
to Gambetta pointed to himself, exclaim-
ing in tones of pardonable pride, "C'est
mol" Them and not until then, did he ex-
tend his hand to the great tribune, who,
having meanwhile risen from his chair, ex-
pressed his pleasure at making the acquain-
lance of SO distinguished an officer, who
had rendered such valuable services to the
United States. Gambetta informed me that
in the whole Of his long experience of pub
lie life he had never known man to IN
troduce himself in so delightfully."- original
a manner, and he vouchsafed the opinion
that 1t was bien Americain-people from
the United States enjoying in the old world
a widespread fame for originality.
