ASPARAGUS.
Its Relation to the Famous Asphodel
of the Early Ages.
As a tickler of the palate asparagus
weight of Greek and Roman approval.
Plato ate it by the pilateful, and Aris-
tophanes, the humorist, regarded it as a
great aid in digesting the crank phi-
losophers of the day.
It is an odd fact that this culinary
plant is closely related to the famous
asphodel, which was supposed by the
ancients to be the leading flower in the
gardens of the elysium, the Greek pur-
gatory or paradise. A part of the
quaintness of this lies in the fact that
the roots possess purgative qualities.
The roots and fruit of both were for-
merly much used in medicine for this
| purpose,
According to the superstition of the
Romans, the manes of the dead fed on
the roots of the asphodel. They planted
it, therefore, in and around the ceme-
teries; hence to this day it covers with
its beautiful golden blossoms as pro-
fusely as dandelions the Apulian hills
and valleys, and the sheep feed on it
greedily.
It belongs to the same natural order
of perennials, and the only difference
between the asparagus and the as-
phodel appears to be in the fruit and
the color of the flowers. So abundant
is the wild asparagus in the steppes of
Russia that cattle eat it like grass, just
as Italian sheep devour its botanical
cousin,

has come down the ages with all the |
winter, savage enemies and the cruel
fabor that killed off all but the hardiest
of them had at the same time killed the
happy-go-lucky gayety of an easier
form of life. They were thoughtful,
| watchful, wary; capable, indeed, of
{ wild merriment, but it has been said
that although a pioneer might laugh he
could not easily be made to smile.
Lincoln's mind was unusually sound
He had a cheer-
| ful, wholesome, sunny nature, yet he
| had inherited the strongest traits of the
| pioneers, and there was in him, more-
| over, much of the peet, with a poet's
capacity for joy and pain, It is not
strange that as he developed into man-
! hood, especially when his deeper nature
| began to feel the stirrings of ambition
| and of love, that these seasons of de-
| pression and gloom came upon him
| with overwhelming force.—Helen Nieco-
| lay in St. Nicholas.
THE BARK OF TREES.
i the Growing Plant,
The practical cultivator understands
that nature makes provision for getting
rid of the bark of trees as the trunk in-
creases in size. On the growth of the
past season may be seen small olive
spots. These are formations of cork.
From year to year, in subsequent de-
velopment, these little patches spread,
really eating their way through the
bark. This is the provision which na-
ture makes for finally rifting the bark
in each species of plant. These cork
cells have their own special lines of de-
velopment, and this is the reason why
each kind of tree has its own particular
bark. The characteristics are so prom-
fnent that clever observers can select
different kinds of trees by their bark
even at midnight. As it is the evident
intention of nature to get rid of old
bark, it Is a great help to the tree to as-
sist nature in this respect, and any
wash or treatment which aids the
plant in getting rid of it is a prac-
tical advantage. Soapy water wash or
lye water is useful, and even scraping
has been found of great advantage.
In a rough sort of way lime wash is
frequently used, the only objection be-
ing the white and glaring color. It is,
however, the cheapest and the best of
all bark treatment.
The secret of success lies in the man
and not in the stuff he works on.—Tox-
rey.
Nature's Provision For the Relief of |
were, At the close of Lincoln's short
speech a coal heaver called out, “Abe,
they say you are the tallest man in the
United States, but I don’t believe you
are any taller than I am.” Lincoln re-
back to back. Turning to Colonel Eils-
worth, Lincoln said, “Which is the tall-
er?”
Colonel Ellsworth, being so much
shorter, could not tell, so he climbed on
the guard rail and, putting his hand
across the top of the heads of the two
men, said, “I believe they are exactly
the same height.” Then Lincoln and
the coa! heaver turned around and
faced each other, The crowd shouted
loudly when Lincoln took the black,
sooty hand of the coal heaver in his and
gave a hearty handshake to the man
who was his equal—in height.—Thomas
H. Tibbles in Success Magazine.
The Fiddler Crab In Winter Quarters
In winter, when the surface of the
ground In which it is accvstomed to
burrow may hecome frozen or covered
with ice, the fiddler erab bores deep
into the mnd or sand and stays until
spring. The binck or mud fiddler fairly
riddles the meadow banks along the
salt creeks. It bores in, usually hori-
zontally, and it may be as far as six
or eight feet from the face of the bank,
and then down into the mud at various
angles until it gets below the level of
the tide, which rises and falls through
the loose mud, in the fiddler crab'’s
burrow. ‘There are myriads of the
black fiddlers, and they so honeycomb
the bank that sometimes under the
added weight of ice gathered upon the
top of it the bank breaks down.—New
York Tribune.
The Gem of the Collection.
Baron X. had been going over the
museum of a little country town, and
when about to leave he asked the cura-
tor if there was anything more to be
seen.
“Yes, baron,” was the reply, “there
remains a little casket.”
“No doubt used as a deposit for the
jewelry of some eminent personage?’
inquired the baron.
“No, sir; that Is where 1 put the tips
given to me by visitors to the museum.”

P™ YOUR BLOOD.
The eause of all pimples, boils and oth-
er eruptions, as well as of that tired feel-
ing and poor appetite, which are so com-
mon at this season, is impure blood—blood
that is diseased and impoverished by hu-
mors, morbid or effete matters, which
should be gotten rid of without delay.
The best way to purify the blood, as
thousands know, is to take Hood's Sarsa-
parillaand Pills.
World-wide experience confirms the
statement that these great medicines
make the blood pure and rich, clear the
complexion, remove that tired feeling,
improve the appetite, build up the whole
system, and form in combination the ideal
Blood Medicine.
