Where the NOur.Iass Is Used

Among things not generally known
is the fact that the hourglass is uni
versally used on board ships in the
English navy when the log is heaved
at night
Every hour the boatswain or one of
the boatswain's mates blows on his
whistle peculiar shrill note called the
reel. The person in the watch to whom
this duty is assigned then heaves the
log, a small piece of wood with sink
er fitted in it, and at that moment the
glass is turned. Though termed an
hourSlass generally, it is only a four
teen second glass really.
AS the last grain runs out the LOG
line is stopped with jerk. which also
loosens the lead sinker The log floats
UP to the surface Of the sea- the line is
hauled in and an entry made in the
book. which, from its containing this

HlNpOO CUSTOMS.
The Sword Plays n Prominent Part
In Oaths and Marriages..

In OAtMS anO Nlarr108eS.
The sword plays many different roles
in HindOO manners and customs. There
are certain warlilie tribes among whom
Oaths taken over the sword are bind
ing, while taken otherwise they are
not. A similar sentiment prevails
amo y some predatory classes Of Eu-
rope, where Oatlls taken over their
weapons of Offense-a dagger, pom
lard, rapier-are considered binding.
The idea with these classes seems to
be that perjury committed after taking
Oaths over their weapons recoil; that
they die by the we. lpon against which
they perjure themse Ives.
In Berar, in India, women who are
about to lead an irregular life marry
a sword. This marriage in name, as
an emblem of conjugal life, serves as
ray of consolation to them in the
midst of their evil doings. In certain
parts of India when HindoO is about
to marry a third wife, which marry
ing is considered an i'll omen, he mar
ries a tree. for obviating the ill omen,
before he marries the third lady.
In kathiawar there is still the GUS
tom for rajput princes who are much
married to marry other wives by
means of a sword They send over
their sword to the brides people, The
bride is married to it with all the re-
Quired pOmp and splendor, the only diff
ference being that the princes sword
becomes Il substitute for him, the
bridegroom The legality of this mar
rage to sword is lndisputable. The
bride married to it enters the rajput
zenana as legally married wife.

ORIGIN OF THE TOMATO.
There Is No Record of n Time When
1t Grew Wild.

The tomato is native of South
America and more particularly of Peru
and the Andean region. The Indian
name for it is ''tumatl' and the Spanish
name tomato" When the Span ards
arrived in the sixteenth century they
considered nothing of much Importance
except silver. But in 1888 they took
some tomatoes home with them as a
matter of curiosity, little dreaming
that there would some day be more
silver in them than there was in all
the Peruvian mines. There is a gen.
'eral impression that until sixty or
seventy years ago the tomato plant
was universally regarded as poisonous
weed and that it's handsome fruit was
called the love APPLE" and never cul-
tivated except as something pleasant
to look upon. But this story is incon-
sistent with itself The tomato was
called the ''love apple" for the reason
that it was believed to be an aphrodis-
iac or eXcitant of amorous feelings.
But it could not even be suspected of
such a property unless it had been
habitually eaten. The truth is that
there is no record of time when in
South America the tomato was not
an article of food. There is indeed no
record of a time when it grew wild
When the Spaniards reached Peru they
found nothing but the cultivated to-
mato. which was cultivated for food.
They took fancy to it and took it to
Spain from which place it found its
way in 1896 to England
