Pre-Columbian Books.
From the New York Times.

From the New York Times.
When hierog!yphs are mentioned. one nat
urally thinks Of the records of ancient
Egypt: yet before Columbus landed on
these shores the AZtecs of ancient Mexico
had a most elaborate system Of writing IN
hieroglyphs. They formed long strips OF
deerskin into books folded screen fashion,
on which were depicted signs and represen-
tations of ceremonials. These old pre-
Columbian books the Spaniards greedily
collected and burned so that but ten are
known today in the whole world.
One of these has only recently been
found in one of the libraries of Europe and
exact copy presented to the American
Museum of Natural History in this city,
where it will shortly be placed exhi-
bition. The text represents the history OF
the lives of several individuals. One re-
counts the life of the Lady Three-Glints,
who has two husbands and child and
goes through elaborate ceremonies. An
other portion of this old ''CodeX." as 1t Is
called, treats of the life of a great lord
and conqueror named Frie-deer. who, in
company with other chieftains, makes
many conquests. This old book proves
most conclusively how love. religion and
warfare went hand in hand in the lives OF
the ancient Mexicans, just in peoples
lives today.

DUMAS AS A COOK.
He Was Particularly Good in the Pre-.
paration of Turkeys.

From the London News.
Dumas Pere was in producing the slave
of his pen, and never studied in his life.
No author ever owed less to education or
book learning and more to a perpetually
fresh and unsophisticated mind and to
sociable intercourse with the bright spirits
Of his day, the upper Bohemia, the best
artists dramatic authors and lions of vari-
Gus kinds of his time. His one accomplish
ment was his neat, flowing, cerkly hand
writing. But he knew nothing of science,
of any kind of serious literature, and as
he had never thought of punctuation before
he burst on the world as an author, left IL
always to the proofreader. Like Rossini,
If Dumas had not been the author of
Monte Cristo and other novels that brought
him each fortune (Which he spent as socn
he made iD, he might have been great
cook.
l partook of lunch he cooked two years
before his death at the house Of Gudin. the
painter. He came to cook ii in this way.
Gudin, meeting him on a Friday on the
Boulevard, said: "A friend has just sent
me three splendid turkeys from Devonshire.
What shall do with them?' You should
let me cook them said Dumas. 'Al right.
But l must go tomorrow TO prepare them
for the spit Dumas arrived next morning
with a hamperful of truffies for the tur-
keys, and, not to allow any to go to waste,
brought calves sweetbreads and other del
icacies which are the better for truffie ac-
compartments. he prepared ms pldts
carefully. and suggested that If Gudin
wished to invite friends to a particularly
well-cooked lunch then was his time. Per
haps." he added, you had better call on
Alboni and ask her to come. She Will
crown the feast by singing a brindisi." So
said, done. Dumas acted as chef in the
kitchen until it was almost time to serve
the lunch.
A most brilliant company had been in
vited to judge of lie grand Alexandres'
culinary talents. They declared ne deserved
the name of "Alexandre lie Grand" and ex-
pressed their sorrow that his literary genius
had deprived the world of the greatest chef
of the nineteenth century. Dumas used
also to cook the grand dinners which Nine.
Rattazzi gave at Florence when her hus-
band was prime minister of Italy.

Hated George Eliot.
From Harper's Weekly.

FROM harpers weekly.
When George Eliot was still Miss Evans.
and before she had begun to write novels.
she used to frequent old book shop on
the Strand. where she left a very unfavor-
able impression on one young man who was
at that time an assistant In John Chap
mans shop. His description of her is that
of a remarkably ugly young woman of uni
versal knowledge, whose delight * was to
use the Socratic method in conversation,
but without the Socratic benevolence OF In
tention. The result was that the young
men at the dining table 6he shop had q
boarding house for it's employees and guests)
who heedlessly hazarded an opinion were
very soon made to feel not only that they
knew nothing of the subject under discus

of anything. Now, a young man does not
relish being badgered and made fool OF
by pretty woman, but 1t is -intolerable to
be sat upon by an ugly one, at least such
was the feeling of our informant. and one
consequence of this treatment was that In
after years, when Miss Evans had become
George Eliot, one man could never persuade
himself to read adam Bede.' or to admit

A GREAT CURRANT PATCH
Covers 80 Acres and is Said to Be
Greatest in the World.
From the Boston Herald.

41'HA tiiN iSo>lOh Iifralu.
Besides harvesting peas with a moving
machine and raising asparagus in beds of
100 acres, Colorado now boasts of one more
agricultural novelty-a currant patch of
eighty acres-the largest In the world The
biggest currant patch heretofore known Is
said to be located in Michigan and II ccm-
prises eight acres. The one In Colorado IS
at LongmOnt. In il there are 135 900 plants
IN all The plants are set out in rows
seven feet apart, and there are three and a
half feet between the plants In the rows
In the cultivation of these currants irriga-
tion has very important part as il does
In the production of very many of the
VESTS fruits and vegetables. BY irriga-
tion the currant plants in so large an area
are given water on the very day they need
1t. instead of being dependent on a rain
fall.
Owing to a sufficiency of water at just
the right time and also TO the great
amount of sunshine in this section the
flavor of the currants is better a superior
sweetness being easily detected. Colorado
people aver that this is true of nearly all
fruits and vegetables in their part of the
United States. AS many as $50 hands NAV
be seen at work picking currants in TIN,
gathering season. Both old and young are
employed In this occupation. Sometimes A
ten-year-old boy has been found to do as
well in day as a grown person in the
number Of pounds he gathers. 1 say
pounds. for all pickers gather by the mound
and paid accordingly. One and one
fourth cents per pound Is paid for picking.
The laborers make all the way from 80
cents to $3.50 per day.
The value of currant crop varies ma
teriaily- A fair average for a fulI-bearing
plantation would be one gallon, or perhaps
five pounds, to the bush. 1t is not unconl-
mon for a currant bush to produce ten
times that amount but others will be al
most barren. thus reducing the average of
the bushes of the entire patch. ]. H. Emp
son. a prominent citizen of Longmont, is
the owner of the worlds biggest currant
patch, together with his daughter, who
takes an active interest In the plantation.

Watercress One Of the Most Delicious
of Salad Plants

This plant. which belongs to the mustard
family, is priced very highly by Europeans
as salad plant, owing to its pungent and
aromatic properties. and for its sweetness
and delicacy is ranked next to the LETTUCE.
As garnish for meat and other dishes its
crispness and beauty have long recommend
ed 1t as being indispensable. 1t is found
In great abundance throughout all Europe
and America, growing wild around small
streams of water. near brooks and small
lakes and can be used throughout the year
with the exception of two or three months
In the wild state it grows very large and
to a great height, and when in this state or
gone to seed it is not fit for use, having
a very Objectionable, strong and bitter
taste. The cress is also cultivated TO a
great extent for the market in tanks OF
water: this is very easily done, for once
established as a growing plant the supply
is almost ineXhaustible and costs next to
nothing.
The cultivated cress is very much small
er and more tender than the plant in its
wild state, fully pungent in flavor, put
more perishable. which recommends 1t more
highly as a salad plant than as a garnish.
Watercress is placed on the market

cress may be used and endeaVor to convert

regarded it and hope they will in time come
to consider it as do their European cousins
