RECALLING SOLOMON
AND SHEBA'S QUEEN

If the queen of Sheba could behold
the million-dollar crowns of gold
which were placed, October 81, upon
the heads of her reputed descend
ants in Abyssinia, and witness the
ceremonious splendor Of the homage
paid to her country that has now
been admitted to seat among in
dependent nations, she might be ex-
pected to exclaim, as she did In the
presence Of Solomon's glory, that the
half had not been told her. But when
it is remembered that one of her
gifts to Solomon amounted to ap-
proximately $4,000,000, in addition to
spices of great abundance and preci
Gus stones. the crowns of gold and
the Kaiser Wilhelm coach and the
gifts which the duke of Gloucester
bore from the only other emperor in
the West would seem meager to her,
however lavish in the eyes of a
modern democracy.

the love apple and the Mexicans
called it tomatl. 1t was long known
ia Africa and the East Indies, but
not until the close of the Sixteenth
century was it noticed by the Euro
peans. A Netherland herbalist speaks
of eating tomatoes with pepper and
salt in 1888. About the same tine,
Gerard, a famous English surgeon
who kept Lord Burleigh's gardens for
twenty years, introduced the tomato
into England. Three hundred years
passed before 1t was cultivated. and
then only for its red color; 1t was
thought fit food for pigs. In 1880. a
man named Gregory claims to have
sold the first tomatoes ever brought
to Massachusetts.
The cactus, once nuisance and of
no earthly use, was converted by Bur
bank to an edible food for cattle.
Certain types of it were used by the
Indians for sirups and dried fruit.
Would that the wonderful Burbank
had lived long enough to eliminate
some of the Objectionable thorns of
human cacti! With what implement

Thomas Coryate, the court fool Of
James l, wrote a book called "Cor-

his boots, which had carried him on
foot all over Europe, in a church,
and among other accomplishments
brought the first table fork to Eng
land.
Looking up origins of familiar
things is one form of collecting,

to a similar hobby when he refuted

The little Wesleys were taught to
fear the rod and cry softly, so that
the presence of a child in the house
was never apparent. They were not
allowed to eat between meals, nor to
ask the servants for food, nd must
always eat what was set before
them. How would it seem to be COM

before you could have anything else?
Yet l have seen that very thing tried
today.

intoxicant; but l found clipping

Equally strange was the idea that

said that jelly was first made in a

some to be a mild form of dissipa-

To the extent that We live in apart

Miss Anderson also pointed out that
