principle of barter. writes Duncan
Mac Arthur in the New England Mag
azine. The transactions with the In
dams are carried on in "A very simple

ASPARAGUS,
Its Relation to the Famous AsphOdel
of the Early Ages.

As Il ticklcr of the palate asparagus

tophanes. the humoriSt. regarded 1t as a

losorhers OF the day
1t is an old fact that this culinary
plant is closely related to the famous
aspholel, which was supposed by the
ancients t. he the leading flower in the
gardens OF the elysum. the Greek pur-
gatory or paradise. \ part of the
quaintnesS of this lies in the fact that
the roots possess purgative qualities.
Thc roots and fruit of both were for
merry much used in medicine for this
purpose.
According To the superstition of the
Romans the names of the dead fed on
the roots of the aspholel. They planted

CHOCOLATE.

cheap rate"
This notice appeared in the Essex
Gazette of Massachusetts on the 18th
of June, I'LL, five years before the
signing of the Declaration of Independ-
ence Despite Mr. Trask's assurance
that his rate was cheap, chocolate was
very expensive and beyond the purse Of
any but the wealthy folk. Wouldn't
they he surprised to see how generally
chocolate is sold these days in packages
as cheap aS 4 penny:
When the Spanish soldier Cortes con-
quered Mexico in 1919 he found the
people very fond of Il drink called
chocolate" This was served to the
ruler MonteZuma in cup Of solid gold
When the Spaniards went home they
introduced this drink into their coun-
try, but it remained very expensive
The secret Of its preparation was never
allowed to get out of Spain. Now 1t is
the cheapest article Of food and drink
we have.

VARIETY IN CHEWING.
Gum and Tobacco Are Not the Only
Materials Utilized

Gum chicle, which forms the basis Of
most American chewing gums. is by no
means the only chewing material,
though chewing gum has spread over
a large portion of the world.
Among the old fashioned the gum Of
the spruce tree is still in greater favor,
and druggists near the great spruce
belts drive a thriving trade in the brown
Jumps.
Although the chicle comes from the
tropics. it is seldom used as a chewing
gum there, uncured rubber being the
fashion In Peru "cuca," or cocoa
leaves, form the staple chew, the plant
being powerful stimulant, since from
its leaves cocaine is extracted In the
east the hetel nut is chewed In prefer
ence, the nut being prepared with lime.
TO 1t might he accorded the place Of
first prominence since because of the
congestion Of population practically
oue-teuth Of the human race give it
their preference.
one Of the oldest chews is the leaden
bullet which the English soldier used
to chew before the Introduction Of the
jackcted bullets now in use. They de-
clared that it lcsscned their thirst and
to some extent deadened their hunger
on long marches.
And then there is tobacco.
