After a victorious expedition in to Pontus, the Roman general, Lucul lus, brought the cherry from Cerasus, a town of that province, into Italy. Sol dier though he was, he had an eye open to whatever was agreeable in the way of food, acd it is not to be doubted that he regarded the cherry as one of the proud est of all his trophies The cherry was then brought to Rome about 70 years before Christ. About 120 years later it it was introduced into Great Britain. From Italy it was brought also into all the other countries of Europe, in every one of which it is now a universal favor ite with all classes of the people. The Roman horticulturist soon pro duced other specimens of the cherry, and Pliny makes"mention of eight different varieties which were extant in his day. It shows what great things can be ac complished ty cultivation and art, and more than three hundred different va rieties are now specially described in the official catalogues. The gum of the cherry is almost identical with gum ar able, and it has frequently been utilized for food. The wood of the cherry is very beau tiful and much ued for furniture. Some people of good taste admire it as much as mahogany. It is hard, compact and tough, and it possesses the rare virtue of not warping. It takes on a high pol ish. Its beautiful reddish tint, instead of fading with time, grows deeper and deeper every year. In Germany, the cherry tree is a great favorite, and is extensively used as an ornamental shade tree. Many road-sides are lined with cberryjtrees on both sides. You will frequently pass through an avenue of these beautiful shade trees for miles at a time. Loudon makes record of the fact in his work called "Arbore tum" that in the year 182S he traveled for several days throjgh a continuous avenue of cherry trees from Strasbourg by a circuitous route to the city of Mun ich. Whether they were in fruit, or in blossom, or merely In leaf, the ride must have been a charming one. "These avenues in Germany," says Loudon, "are planted at the desire of the respective governments, not only for shading the traveler, but in order that the poor pedestrian may obtain refresh ment during his journey. All persons are allowed to partake of the cherries on condition of not injuring the trees ; but the main crop, when ripe, is gathered by the respective proprietors of the land on which they grow. The celebrated kirchenwasser of the Germans is made of the wild cherry of the Black Forest. Stones and all are fermented with the pulp. The ratifia cordial of Grennoble are made of the cherry. So is maraschi no, which is the most celebrated of all Italian liquors. The leaves, the kernels, as well as the pulp of the fruit, are fer mented together. A quautity of honey is also added. From the result of all this maraschino is the product of distil lation." ' THE "OTATO. i DOW IT CAME TO BR KATEN BY THE FRENCH ARISTOCRACY. About the year lo;?0 the potato was carried from Peru into Spain, and from Spain into the gardens of Italy, Ger many aud Flanders. In 1583 an inhabi tant of Arras first drew attention to its culinary value; but prejudice was so strongly against it that it did not come into use. In 1505 Gaspard Paulim suc ceeded in effecting its introduction into certain parts of the environs of Lyons and the mountains of the Vosges. Philosophers, however, said it must be injurious, because it was sort of a night shade, and the populace got a notion that its use gave rise to scurvy. In this state of bare toleration the potato re mained in France until the year 17S3, when the naturalist, l'arnientier, com menced a serif s of potato banquets to his friends. Potatoes, nothing but po tatoes, on these occasions, appeared be fore the guests. All the geniu3, how ever, of French cookerv was invoked to impart to them agreeable forms and sa vory tastes. This was the naturalist's first step. His second was still more extraordinary. Having planted a considerable breadth of potatoes at Montreuil, near Paris, he gained an audience of the unfortunate Ixniis XVI., in the course of which he inspired his majesty with the ideas ot the value of the potato. "But how are we to make people eat what they are prejudiced against ?" in quired the king. "Sire, if your majesty will graciously afford me a little aid, that prejudice shall be removed," replied Parmentier. "To overcome prejudice is a difficult matter ; but how can I aid you, M. Par mentier ?" "If your majesty shall graciously or der that a soldier shall mouut guard on my xtato field at Montreuil, potatoes will be all the fashion in less than six months." The King laughed, and granted Par mentier'8 request. Thenceforward a military guard might be seen piominad ing with measured step the naturalist's potato field. How precious must that blue-flowered plant te I thought the lookers-on. Xo more fear of leprosy no more dread of poisoning. The high est people in France were proud to eat lMtatoes. In 175 the harvest failed, the corn crop scarcely amounting to one half the usual yield. The popular indif ference with respect to the potato cul ture completely disappeared, and the ra pidity with which its propogation was conducted may he estimated by the fact that in the year 1703 live thousand acres of land were undt-r potato culture in France. lu 1S15 tln-re were about eight hundred and seventy-five thousand sev en hundred and sixty acres thus devoted. Peach Ciieee. Take a numlr of green peachex, nib them carefully in a cloth to remove all dust. Put them in to a R'.ewpau with a nvll quantity of water alxmt half a pint to a pound of fruit (for large quantities a smaller pro poi I ion of water might be used). When the iKiaches are rfectly soft rub them through a fine sieve w ith a wooden 6jKon laying aside smne of the stones, which should le broken, and there kernels ad ded to the ieacli pu'p. Weigh the pulp, stir it over the fire until quite hot. add i half its weight in sugar, some lemon j juice and a little grated peel; ftir the whole on the fire until thick ; arid then put into shapes. It should ix quite hard when cold, and turn out easily. If the pulp be very watery boil for twenty min utes lirforf adding the sugar. This pre serve vi;i keep for a long time if suffi ciently cooked. This recipe was used with good snccc-a in South America, and no doubt would serve for peaches in all stages of ripeness, but only perfectly sound ft nit should be used. It is not necessary to ieal the peaches. Corx asd Mathematics. There are some curious things about corn. You can find a four leaf clover, but I have never yet found an odd row on an ear of corn. It is always fourteen, or sixteen, or twenty, or some other even number, and I would like to understand what corn knows about mathematics, and what objection nature has to odd num bers. But nature is full of mysteries, Right before me on the front piazza are two vines climbing a cane one a ma deria and the other a jassaminp. and they cross each other at every round climbing in opposite directions, and I have tried to make them reverse, but they won't. You may tie one with a string, but it will squirm and twist out and go according to its nature. Vote the whole Democratic ticket. NO AGENTS.

A great many fatal accidents happen from pouring kerosene oil ou the fire to make it kindle better; also by pouring oil in a lamp while lighted. Most people sup pose that it is the kerosene itself which explodes, and that it they are careful to keep the oil itself from the fire or light there will be no danger. But this is not so. If a can or lamp is left about half full of kerosene oil, the oil will dry up, or "evaporate," a little, and will form, by mingling in the air in the upper part a very explosive gas. You cannot see this gas any more than you can see the air. But if it is disturbed and driven out, and a blaze reaches it, a terrible ex plosion ensues, although the blaze did not touch the oil. There are several other liquids used in houses and work shops which will produce an explosive vapor in this way. Benzine is one; burn ing fluid is another, and naphtha, alco hol, ether, chloroform may do the same thing. In a Xew York workshop lately, there was a can of benzine, or gasoline, stand ing on the floor. A boy lighted a cigar ette, and threw the burning match on the floor, close to the can. lie did not dream there was any danger, because the liquid was corked up in a can, but there was a terrible explosion, aod he badly hurt. That seems very mysterious. The probability is that the can had been standing there a good while, a good deal of vapor had formed, some of which had leaked out around the stopper and was hanging in a sort of invisible cloud over and around the can ; and this cloud, as the match struck it, exploded. Suppose a girl tries to fill a kerosene lamp without blowing it out. Of course the lamp is empty or she would not care to fill it. This empty space is Slled with a cloud of explosive vapor arising from the oil in the lamp. When she pushes the nozzle of the can into the lamp at the top, and begins to pour, the oil, run- j ing into the lamp, fills the empty space and pushes the cloud of vapor up : the vapor is obliged to pour out over the top, into the room outside. Of course it strikes the blazing wick the girl holds at one side. The blaze of the wick sett the invisible cloud of vapor on fire, and there is an explosion which ignites the oil and scatters it over her and over the furniture of the room. This is the way in which kerosene lamps burst. The same thing may happen when the girl pours the oil over the Cre in the range or the steve, if there is a cloud of explo sive vapor in the upper part of the can, or if the stove is hot enough to vaporize quickly some of the oil as it falls, lie tuember it is not the oil, but the invisi ble vapor that explodes. Taking care of the oil will not protect you. There is no safety but in this rule : Never pour oil on a lighted fire or in a lighted lamp. Christian Union. The Hedgehog's Mode of De fense. The hedgehog is one of the best protected of living animals. "It marches securely under the guardian ship of its thorny-spiked armor, it recks little of any foe, save man. The formid able array of bristling spines with which the back is more or less covered offers a cheval-rle-fri.e of sharp spikes to any an imal that may offer itself as ac enemy. Another jieculiarity ia the power posses sed by these creatures of rolling them selves into a round ball, by placing the head upon the breast, drawing up the legs, and curling the body firmly around the members. By this posture the hogs render themselves invulnerable to almost any animal that may try to attack them. Wnen in this curious attitude, he can not be unrolled by main force as long as life remains in the body, for there is an enormously developed muscle, with a very thick margin, which spreads over the back and round the sides, and which when contracted, holds the creature in so firm an embrace that it will be torn in pieces rather than yield its point." The spines of this animal are about an inch long, and naturally lie flat on the back, directed towards the tail. But by a peculiar arrangement they are erected when the owner coils himself. In shape the spine is '-not unlike a large pin, be ing sharply pointed at one extremity, and furnished at the other with a round, bead-like head and rather abruptly bent near the head. If the skin be removed moved from the hedgehog, the quills are seen to be pinned, as it were, through the skin, being retained by their round heads, which are acted upon by the pe culiar muscle which has ai ready been mentioned." Protected by this defense the hedge hog is enabled to throw itself from con siderable heights, to curl itself into a ball as it descends, and to reach the ground without being hurt by the fall. A hedgehog has been seen repeatedly to throw itself from a wall twelve or four teen feet in height, and to fall upon the hard ground without appearing to be in convenienced by the tumble. On reach ing the ground it would unroll itself and trot off with perfect unconcern. Popular Science Monthly. TnE Deatii-Valley of Java. A romantic tradition has been refuted, an other thrilling illusion dispelled, by Dr. Otto Kuntze's discoveries that the leth al capacities of Pakamaran, the renown ed Javanese Death Valley, is as utterly fabulous as the Norwegian Kraaken or Richard of Gloucester's hump. It is no longer ierniitted to believe that the ef fects of the subtle poison given off by the 4Jpadly,Upas Tree," have bestrewn that dismal vale with carcasses of sav age beasts, birds, serpents, or that a cer tain death awaits any foolhardy travel ler attempting to cro.s it ; for the emi nent German explorer has paid Paka maran an exhaustive visit, and reports it to be as healthy as any other part of the island. In the way of corpses he did not see as much as a dead fly within its precincts. He describes it as a small circular depression in a gorge of Dieng Mountains, about seven square metres in size, and forlorn of vegetation. It is approached by two foot-paths, winding downwards from the hills by which it is surrounded. By one of these paths Dr. Kuntze entered the Death Valley, des pite the entreaties of his guides and ser vants, or e of whom repeatedly strove to hold him back by force, and having traversed PaKamaran in every direction quitted it by the other path. The na tives had assured him that he would find the valley choked up by skeletons,, as even the swiftest birds, flying above would drop down stone dead, slain by ita poisonous exhalations. In vain, howev er, did he look about for a bone ; nor could he detect the least unpleasant odor. Dr. Kuntze pronounced Paka maran to be an imposture, the offspring of ignorance and superstition. Unable to dispute his sentence, we are bound, not altogether without regret, to rele gate the death-dealing vale to the limbo of exploded myths. A Cheap Wat to Dismlti Bowes. This can easily b done without the use of sulphuric acid. Stroug lye, from hard-wood ashes, will do the work, and if vou have a larjre Iron pot, or boiler, you can' have them ready for use in a short time.

The contents of the boiler lye, ashes and bones are all excellent material for the compost heap. But perhaps, economical housekeepers will prefer o utilize the bones for soap-making. In the first place. It Is a good Idea, as the bones, waste lye, and other refuse, after the soap is made can e carried into the compost neap, as before. Nerer throw away a good bone, but put all away in a safe place until you have enough for a good boiling. I would stop by the roadside to pick up a bone even thoueh ten miles from home.
