Ancient Vegetables.

During the building of the great
pyramid of Cheops, SAYS Herodotus,
l,c00 talent. of silver were spent in
radishes. onions and garlic for the
workmen.
Other patriarchal vegetables which
we know from old inscriptions were
grown in Egypt and other parts Of
the east quite forty centuries ago
are the melon, the cucumber and the
leek.
MANY of our common vegetables
we owe to the Dutch. who four Gen.
turies ago, at a time when English
people hardly understood the word
garden. were famous horticulturists.
1t seems difficult to believe that so
late as the reign Of King James l..
peas were worth their weight in sill
yer. A writer of the time speaks of
them as ''fit dainties for ladies
they come So far and cost 80 deal"

A Royal eiirt,tion.

Perhaps the most striking exam
pie OF the phrase ''She stoops TO
conquer in English history is fur
nished by Queen Elizabeth's cele-
brated Irritation with the Duke Of
Anjou. II was most important for
the queen. threatened as she was by
the hostility OF Spain. then the
leading power in Europe, to secure
and maintain the friendship Of
France. The reigning king, Henry
Ill. was willing to form an alliance
with England If Elizabeth would
marry Anjou. his Younger brother.
The queen promised to do this,
though she had not the slightest in
tention of keeping her word She
invited the duke to England. carried
on with him a prolonged eourtship,
presented him TO the court as her
afiianced husband and even on one
occasion condescended TO kiss him
in public She thus kept France in
a good temper until the danger from
Spain had for the time passed away,
when she Tilted him with excusable
shameles.ne,s.

1t is delightful to note the tame
ness of the birds of Egypt. They
enter rooms and houses through
windows and crevices left for venti-
laiion, and once inside hop fear
lessly about the floor picking up
stray crumbs. A sparrow often
perches on the corner Of the table
during the progress Of q crowded
hotel repast, and it is not uncom-
mon to see them fitting across the
ceiling Of q drawing room. All birds,
from the largest to the smallest, 70
unmolested unless they are definite
ly used for food. The great brown
kite sits fearlessly on the roofs Of
Cairo hard by his cousin, the crow,
which is not black. like our crow,
but is black and gray and might
easily be mistaken for Q pigeon.

Wagers have sometimes taken Q
grim form. 1t is credibly recorded
that in the eighteenth century .
wager Was laid for one of q party
OF gay revelers to enter Westmin-
ster abbey at the hour Of midnight.
He WAS to enter one Of the vaults
beneath the abbey, and in proof OF
his having been there he VAS to stick
. fork into q coffin which had re-
Gently been deposited there. He &C.
complished his object and Was re-
turning in triumph when he felt
himself suddenly caught and was 20
overcome with terror that he fell
in q swoon. His companions, not
being able to account for his long
absence, found him in this condi-
ton The fork which he had fas-
tened into the coffin had caught and
pinned his long cloak and 90 occs-
stoned q fit of terror which nearly
proved fatal.

into use at an early date There Is
frequent mention Of then. IN snelent
writings and representations OF
them IN ancient Vlgneftes- They
were placed IN the center of choirs
in large ecclesiastical buildings a
early a. the seventh century, and
the ehoristers were arranged IN row-
on the right and left Of them They
are OF various forms, bot the eagle
Is introduced IN q very large mum
Der. With outspread wings and
mounted On a siein at convenient
height for a reader, this grand bird
from an earlv date Was made to
serve the purpose Of supporting the
framesork ON which the large and
heavy volumes used in the services
were placed. There was probably
some reference in the thoughts of
those who first used them 10 the
fact that the eagle scared To the
most elevated regions and therefore
in a fanciful way would be likely to
carry the words Of the readers or
ehorisier- nearer TO heaven than
they might otherwise ascend
In some instances the inclined
framework on the back OF the bird
was made to accommodate two
books. one above the other, and fur
nished with movable brackets TO
light the reader. Frequently the
eagle Is represented standing on an
orb and sometimes On a dragon. and
the base Of the stem on which II Is
placed Is often raised on lions. 4
more simple form without the intro
ductiop of the eagle consists of an
inclined book board raised TO a con-
yenient height on a stem. Next TO
this are examples that have two
slaniing book boards. which meet
at their upper edges like roof. and
there are others with clever group
ings Of four desks or book boards.
These are generally made Of oak or
some other hard wood. They near
ly all turn on piyots, and some Of
them are enriched with mnch eary-
ing. Sometimes the eagle Is Of
wood and the framework of iron.
In the hand-omest examples base.
stem. bird and book board are Of
polished brass-Chambers' Journal.
