Old English Gardening.

From the London Chronicle.
1t is a little curious to think that even as
far back as the middle, ages a great guam
tity of garden stuff" was imported into
this country from the continent. Although
our ancestors We're famous in those days
for their salads and greens. they knew
nothing about the cultivation of edible
roots until the reign of Henry VIII. Up to
then such things as carrots, turnips and
artichokes were sent from Flanders, and
special messengers were sometimes dis
patched to bring back supplies for the royal
table. Among the green vegetables most
popular in Tudor days was Good King
Henry" or Mercury Gooseloot." Recently
or this plant is wholesome or not. The ig-
. norance that exists in most parts of the
country about this once popular vegetable
is astonishing. Many gardeners have never
even heard of 1t. The only district in which
1t still seems to be cultivated Is south
Lincolnshire. Those who would like to have
a really old-fashioned vegetable in their
gardens are advised to try Good King
Henry Nothing could be easier to grow,
and as it is perennial plant there is little
or no trouble connected with 1t after it has
once been put in the ground. 1t may be
raised from seed sown in the open in April
May. the young plants being set out in
their permanent positions about a foot
apart each way; or it may be started from
old established clumps or stools which are
generally divided in autumn or In early

shoots are cut under the ground and served
up like asparagus. =e~s 80. zs'E :--

A New Use for Children.
From Harper's Weekly.

A novel use for sugar has recently been
found in England. and solutions of this
substance have been shown to be most eff
feetive for preserving timber. The pro-
cess consists in placing the timber in a
boiler and then pumpingain a solution Of
beet sugar, which enters the wood, taking
the place of the Eir, and being absorbed
by the fibers. The, wood, after being thus
treated, is then heatedi in an oven and
dried, the drying depending upon the va
49, d. Nss
riety of the wood. % 1ors
The result of the treatment Is that all
kinds of wood are made tougher. heavier
and more durable. afwhile in particular soft
woods are thus renderep not only more
useful. but also more Ornamental when
planned and polished.
An important application of the treat
ment Is to fresh and upseasoned timber,
which then can be- nsed Immediately with
out danger of watbing dr shrinking The
sugar permeates the wood so thoroughly
that 1t ceases to be porous and, conse-
auently, more sanitary. While the treated
timber is under many conditions much
stronger Resistance to dry rot Is an
other claim made for this treatment, and
it is also believed that by adding poison
to the sugar solution II will be rendered
proof against certain ants and other In
sects which are very destructive of timber
in tropical countries.

The Internal Regions.
Philadelphia Bulletin.

From the Philadelphia Bulletin.
Il am writing said an author, "a mono
graph on the Internal regions as the heath
en- races of the world have at different times
imagined them.
1.-The Internal regions of Buddhism are
horrible. They comprise a great hell and 1873
lesser hells. In these hells, according to the
sculptures of the Buddhist temples. men are
ground to powder and their dust turned into
ants and fleas and spiders. They are pest
led in mortar. The hungry eat red-hot iron
balls The thirsty drink molten iron.
''Islamsm says of the Internal region:
They who believe not shall have garments
of fire fitted to them; boiling water shall
be poured on their heads and on their
skins and they shall be beaten with maces
of IRON
I'm the Scandinavian mythology. the
mythology of Odin and Thor, we are told
that in Nastrond there Is vast and dire
full structure with doors that face the
north. 1t Is formed entirely of the backs
of serpents, waited together like wicker
work. But the serpentS' heads are turned
toward the inside of the hall, and they con-
tinually send forth floods of venom, in
which wade all those who commit murder
or forswear themselves.
"In the past the Christian idea of the in
fernal regions was hideous as the heath
en- idea and in their sermons clergymen low
ed to describe hell. The present tendency,
however, is to avoid discussion of this
place-to dwell upon the gentler and more
lovely side of Christianity.

Railway Servants in Italy.

Rome Correspondence the lroHuou AtAes.
To Judge from resolutions passed by
meetings of railway servants at Milan,
Verona and elsewhere, the danger of a
general strike on the Italian railways has
been conjured away for another month at
least The leaders of the agitation admit
the necessity of giving the government
sufficient time to consider the demands
made in a memorial. In the meantime
they announce that any step made by the
government toward the so-called militari-
cation of the railway service or the pass
ing of any law to render railway strikes
an Illegal and punishable offense will be
met by an immediate proclamation of a
general strike. There is likely to be a
struggle sooner or later, as 1t is impossible
for the government to accede in full to the
demands made by the railway representa-
tives, but by the time the crisis actually
arrives 1t is to be hoped that the more reas
enable of the employees will recognize the
uselessness of provoking an actual fight
upon question which cannot be settled in
their favor.

Novel English Sport.
From Outing.

HAoai OutihS'
In the little, swarming streets off White
chapel road, down through Shoreditch and
Bethnal Green, linnet singing is the pas

scores of men, who will bet themselves
to standstill over the sweet-voieed rival
ries of two wee brown birds Gagged on

tation makes responsibility timorous of in

There was never a more incongruous
sport than this. yet despite Its gambling
interest, inseparable from all kinds of pop
ular English sport, it is to rejoice that so
sentimental and whimsical a pastime
makes many a bright spot in the clouded
life of the East End. To those who do
not know it may be well to explain that
the vocal school of the lfnnet in the world
of sport is as thoroughly systematized and
as fast bound by tradition as the prepara-
tory training for grand opera This is no
haphazard issue of betting which of two
BIRDS will sing longest or loudest, or sweet

unwritten law nodded through many gen.
erations of referees. timekeepers, scorers
and owners.
From time beyond reckoning the lnnet's
singing vocabulary has been fixed and set
into the two divisions known as pleasant
song" and rough song" The first con-
sists OF list OF refrains, each of which

DANCING PARTIES.

MT. and Mrs. Evans Johnson Dunn and Miss Dunn gave a dancing party last eve ming at the Country club to their guest Miss Ethel Pelzer, of Montgomery The invitations included only the unmarried set Not at any time this winter has the club presented a brighter scene. The occasion was graced by number of visiting beauties and Birmingham's belles and beaux assembled at the club house in large numbers.
 The reception hall, the cafe and the reading room were used for dancing and in the private dining room sandwiches and coffee were served. The table was dec orated with pink roses and smliax.
 Miss Dunn was a charming picture in a dancing gown of white lace over white chiffon and silk.
 Miss Pelzer, who is a brilliant beauty wore white chiffon, elaborately trimmed in lace Among the pronounced belles of the evening were Miss McNeal of Se- vance; Miss Chiffon, of Montgomery; Miss Nance, of Mississippi; Miss Fair fax, of New Orleans; Miss Dabney, of Mississippi: Miss Glham, of St. Louis; Miss Nelson, of Selma, and Miss McCrrie, of Pennsylvania.

HORSE SHOW COULD BE MADE FEATURE OF
 BIRMINGHAM EXPOSITION.

It has perhaps already suggested itself to the promoters of the Birmingham ex- position that the holding of a horse show during the exposition could be made one of the most prominent and brilliant fea- lures. Even without an exposition a horse show presents so much to attract all classes of people, and in those cities where annual shows are held they have proven successful year after year. No event of the season, in either Louisville, Richmond or Atlanta, attracts the social attention as do the horse shows, and permanent associations, under the aus pices of which they are held, remain in- tact year after year just as the New York Horse Show association, whose annual shows at the Garden are attended by thousands of people.
 The first horse show held in Birming- ham two years ago was in every way a successful event, and pronounced so by authorities on horse flesh as well as by those interested mostly in the social side of the show The class of horses eXhib- tied were the same as those shown in the southern circuit and the scope of the show was on an elaborate plan, the ar engagements comparing -avorably with those in other cities. The boxes sold rap idly at fifty dollars and they were filled

cocoANUT BUTTER.
Table Compound to Be Made of This
 Vegetable Oil.

From the English Worlds Work.
 A new butter is now being made from the milk of the cocoanut. 1his milk, when subject to a temperature of over 2S C., runs into a yellow oil which is im- ported in great quantities from India and Africa. The better qualities of it are obtained from Ceylon, Cochin China and Australia The nut produces 60 per cent of oil, and one acre of land planted With cocoanut trees would produce over 400 pounds of oil This has hitherto been used for fats for soap of for machinery oil, and the better qualities employed In the manufacture of textile goods. In France this oil is now subjected to special treatment and converted into but ter.
 Dr. Heuner, a German chemist. pro- poses to buy up all the cocoanut oils and transform them into what he terms veg etable butter"
 The cocoanut butter like that made from cows pilk, contains ' per cent Of soluble acids. It will keep from sixteen to twenty days without showing any sign of acid reaction, and it contains from twenty-five to thirty times less water than ordinary butter. while it's s-owness in oxidizing makes it especially suitable for pastry and cakes, as they will not get stale so quickly when made with it as with the butter. Another advantage claimed for cocoanut butter is that 1t seems to be an antiseptic medium, while milk is most favorable to the culture of microbes At the Central hospital in Vl- enna and in various hospitals In Switz- erland experiments have been made with this new butter, and the results have heen pronounced satisfactory.
