Autumnal Tints.
It is very curious to observe the
regularity with which we are told in
in the autumn that" the first frost will
change the color of the leaves," w here
as the frost has nothing to do with the
change. It has. indeed, sometimes
happened in New England that the
foliage has changed, as if by magic, in
a single night, so that, upon looking
out of the window in the morning, the
the eye was surprised with the specta
cle of the world welliiigh on fire; and
since this transformation took place in
connection with the mercury at a low
point, the whole affair is referred to
the agency of Jack Frost. But why
not refer to this prestidigitator the
the glowing tints of the apple, the rich
crimson of the velvet peach, and the
purple of the plum? Many years ago
this error was pointed out by an eminent
botanist, who showed that the gorgeous
color of the autumn leaf came in the
regular process of ripening; and,
though botany is generally studied in
schools, the old notion comes back with
the beavers every year, showing that
error, in common with truth, especially
when supported by the vox populi,
will " rise again." however deservedly
crushed to earth.
I .eaves find their parallel in man, as
already observed, and, like the human
upecies, they may ripen suddenly. If,
however, any one chooses to make a
mystery of the intensity of the autum
nal colors, there should be no great
difficulty in explaining the variety.
Indeed, the apparent superiority over
the strength of color in the foliage on
the Continent of Europe may be attri
buted chiefly to this variety, In Great
Britain the climate is evidently unfavor
able to the production of bright forest
tones, but in parts of Germany the
brilliancy of certain kinds of leaves is
quite equal to that of the corresponding
varieties in North America. At the
same time the greens of Europe are
quite different from those of our own
land, where, beginning with a burnt
green in the South, we pass northward
along the Atlantic seaboard, reaching
the true green of the greatest of the hay
producing States, the State of Maine.
Every one has noticed the unparalleled
green of the " Fmerald Isle," which
becomes a paie sea-green In Scotland, a
whitish-green In the south of England
and in France only to change to an
ashen-green in Germany, and a sombre
olive in the Italian states.
But we were remarking upon the
variety of the autumnal tints in our own
country. This is explained by the fact
that, while in Europe there are only
forty trees that attain to a height of
thirty feet, in North America there are
no less than one hnndred and forty

Lord Peterborough's siege of Barce
lona has been one of the most daring
and brilliant military achievements on
record. The Puke of Darmstadt, who
commanded under him, perished in
tiie Intrencliiiicnt", which were carried
sword in hand. Voltaire says: "A
elicll bursts in the fort, the powder
magazine explode, the fort is taken, the
city capitulates. A parley takes place
at the gates, between Lord Peterborough
and Don Francisco de Velano, tba
Viceroy. The articles are not yet sign
ed, when, suddenly, fearful cries rend
the air, the flames are seen ascending
from one part of the city. You betray
us exclaimed the Viceroy; 'we capitu
lated in good faith, while your English
troops have entered by the ramparts
and are now slaughtering our people,
nd pillaging and burning our houses!'
Tou mistake,' replied Peterborough;
'they are Darmstadt's Germans, not
Engli.-hmen; and I see but one way of
saving your city. Allow me and the
officers of my staff, with the English
troops dow with us, to enter immediate
ly; I will speedily put a stop to these
outrages; to return to conclude with
you here the terms of capitulation.'
His air of truth, and the lofty toneol
Lis address, together with the pressing
danger of the moment, induced the
Viceroy to consent to his proposition.
The gates were thrown open, and
Peterborough followed by his staff,
dashed through the streets of Barcelona.
The German and Catalonlan soldiers,
joined by some of the rabble, were
sacking the houses of the principal
citizens. Rushing upon them, he com
pelled them to desist, and to restore the
plunder they were about to make off
with. Having, as he had promised, put
a stop to the outrages, and restored
order among the troops, Peterborough
returned to the city gates to sign with
the Viceroy the terms of the capitula
tion." lie afterward happened to fall
in with a party of brutal Catalonian
soldiers who were carrying off the
beautiful young Duchess de Popoli.
Naturally she had fainted from terror,
when, fortunately, the gallant Peter
borough rode up. The sight of beauty
in distress would at any time have
nerved the arm of our hero to scatter a
host; the conduct of these semi-barbarous
soldiers inflamed him still more,
and he immediately struck down two or
three of them, and promptly rescued
the lady. The enraged and baffled
ruffians, on recovering from their con
sternation at the sudden and furious
attack on them, fired some shots after
her valiant deliverer, Both he and
the trembling fair one escaped unhurt
He rode away with her in triumph and
placed her in the arms of her husband,
who was encountered in frantic pur
suit of her. The chivalry, heroism, and
magnamimity of her conquerer aston
ished the Barcxlonians. They knew
that the English were heretics, there
fore, as they bad imagined, necessarily
destitute of the principals of honor and
the common feelings of humanity.
Their admiration of Lord Peterborough
whose conduct had dispelled this error,
at once became boundless. 7 emple

after a few years began to recall with
longing the lean hams and the slim but

less easily controlled, but good foragers.

such as to develop and preserve the ex

large, rich and juicy, with diffused fat.
Berkshires are not quite so easily fat

fed as the Essex grade, but they will
take much better care of themselves in
the woods, and when penned or fastened
for fattening, may be finished off with
half the feed the original "laud pikes
would require.
With many northern and western
breeders, the Essex is a more profitable
pig than the Berkshire, because his na

that all he eats goes to flesh and fat.

Fall Plowing. With each succeed.
ing fall we have in our agricultural
papers a full and free discussion of the
merits and demerits or fall plowing,
To the uninitiated it must seem strange
that it is possible that farmers can hold
opinions so exactly opposite in their
nature, as seems to be proven by tnese
discussions. A favors fall plowing, and

that it always results in a loss, and he
is satisfied that A Is a book farmer,
Often the dispute goes on until one or
both or the parties disgust tne editor
with their nonsense, and the matter
drops. The casual reader wonders why
this should be, but a more discerning
one, believing that both of the writers
are honest in their views, will attribute
the difference to some local cause or
condition. In the first place the bene
fit of fall plowing for corn will in a
great measure depend upon the charac
ter of the wmter and spr.ng which lol
lows. If ttrS land is heavy and the win
ter wet and warm, fall plowing will be
a failure; if, on the other hand, we
have a cold winter, with plenty or thaw
ing and freezing, with more snow than
rain, the soil will be in a loose condi
tion and fit tor early planting. Taking
the averages of cases it is, perhaps, safe
to assume that the most that can pro
perly be claimed for fall plowing is that
the work is out or the way ot spring
business.
rrmxo A wat W otter Cabbage.
Though we have 6een recommended
various modes of preserving cabbage
through the winter, and have tried
several of them, we continue to pursue
the method that we have generally
adopted for some twenty years. It is
simply to dig slight trenches side by
side, on some rising or dry spot whence
the water will readily drain off, In
which stand the cabbage, just as it
grows, sinking it up to the head. The
rows can be as closely together as the
size of the heads will admit of. Cover
over with corn fodder, straw or bean
haulm. Then set four posts so as to
form a pitch, placing the head against
a wall or bord fence. Form a roof by
bean-poles, when boards are not at
band, and cover this with cornstalks or
straw. If ordinarily well done the cab
bage will krrp as 'ong as desired,
having usually keptfours until April or
May. We are aware th-t it is generally
recommended to place t) e heads or the
cabbage in the ground, leaving the
stalks sticking up. But having tried
this way, we found that the cabbage
kept belter and fresher as we recom
mend. To prove this we have had cole
slaw in May.
Keepisq Roots. To keep roots sound
and plump, Mr. Benjamin P. Ware, of
Marblehead, a successful gardener, cuts
off the fine roots close to (he body, and
pares away the crown of the turnip
or beet sufficiently to destroy all buds
or rudiments of buds. 1 be thus doc.
tored roots are then placed in barrels of
snd or covered with earth in the cel
lar to prevent wilting. Removing the
buds and rootlets prevents that orki-
ness so common with these roots when
kept till late in winter, which is caused
by the support of sprouts and rootlets
using up much of the more tender and
edible substance of the roots. Turnips
and beets thus treated are as nice for
the table in late winter or early spring
as wtien first harvested. Scientific

The Fair Sex and Loquaeity.
The fair sex has ever been proverbi
al for loquacity. A facetious lawyer
seemed to be inspired by the knowledge
of this fact when, in writing a deed
commencing with the old formula,
"Know, all men by these presents,' he
substituted, "Know, one woman," &c. ;
"because," said he, "if one woman
knows it, all men soon will." Illustra
tions of this "touch of nature" abound
from Plutarch downward. Let it suf
fice that we recall the story of the
young man elected into one of the na
tional councils of ancient Greece, whose
transactions were kept secret, and at no
time profaned by the unhallowed pres
ence of the now ubiquitous newsjiaper
reporter. His wife pressed him to tell
her something ot their proceedings by
argument, persuasion, and entreaty,
without effect. Wearied at lengtli bv
her importunity, he consented, at the
same time warning her of the conse
quences should the matter be divulged.

how important it was that their views

mentous as that under consideration,
and urged that it was highly desirable
that a woman should have two hus
bands. The Senators were not less
amused than amazed, and looked to one

The mode of development of (leers'
antlers formed the subject of a valuable
essay, delivered by Professor Theodore
GUI, before the National Academy of
Sciences, New York at its recent meet
ing. The following were the enter con
clusions reached : Antlers are horn-like
appendages of frontal processes,
peculiar to the deer, developed periodi
cally and concomitantly with the sexuai
organs, chiefly in the males, either as
simple spikes or with a tendency to bi
furcation, especially (but not exclusive
ly) in the direction of greatest or axial
grow th.The modifications of the antlers
and their contour in the various forms
of the family, are chiefly dependent on
and determined by the diverse exhibi
tions of this tendency, and examples ol
several kinds are furnished by the
genera Cervus, Cariacus, (also Rusa,
Pudua,) and Elaphurus. As is general
ly known, in all the deer the antlers of
the first year, at least, are simple spikes.
In Pudua, the antlers remain simple
and never bifurcate. In C'ervus, the
direction of gaswtb is continuously up
ward and backward, and dichotomiza
lion takes place from the hindmost
prong of the preceeding year, the
antlers being differentiated, however,
into posterior "brauis" and anterior
"brow antlers." In Cariacus, the di
rection of greatest growth, is deflected
and the main axis continuous subspiral
ly forward into the hoinologuea of the
anterior upper prongs of the fourth
year. Rusa exhibits a similar tendency.
In Elaphurus, the direction of princi
pal growth is upward from the base and
forward, and the antlers are differen
tiated into two element, (1) the an
terior being homologous with the brow
antlers of C'ervus and functionally
usurping the place of the main ones, and
(2) the posterior being corresponuiugly
reduced and thrown backward.
Alleged Poison in Sugars. Some atten
tion was attracted last year by ncmei
ous letters, published by Mr. L. Ros
tfter, of Chicago, 111., in the Chicago
Tribune, with regard to alleged poison
ous effects of sugars. Mr. Rossiter sug
gested that a large proportion of the
sugars in the market might contain
poisonous impurities arising from the
use chemicals in tbeir manufacture, his
opinion being based upon the effocts of
the of use of sugars as food upon persons
of weak or deranged digestion. In the
American Journal of Pharmacy, we find
accounts of analyses made by Messrs. J
S. Johnson and S. E. Parkill, of four
teen samples of sugars and syrups fur
nished by Mr. Rossiter. Neither lead
nor arsenic was found, nor did the ash,
by ordinary systematic qualitative an
alysis, reveal other constituents than
(odium, potassium, calcium, magne
sium, aluuiiura, and iron comounds,
and sulphates, chlorides, carbonates,
and silica. A o zinc or tin was round.
It thus appears that the sugars of com
merse do notcontaln the injurious ingre
dients suggested by Mr. Rossiter.
Medicine and Animals. The action of
medicaments on different animal species
has not been very fully elucidated, II err
Haeckel. it may be known, has proved
the Immunity of rabbits as regards
belladonna, and he has made some very
curious experiments on the harmlesj-
ness of plants in the nightshade family
in general to rodents and marsupials.
A French doctor has lately called atten
tion to the fact, when be has often ob
served in druggists' shops, that heoi
loek seed was eaien by mice wit) out
apparently producing fatal effects upon
them, lie has recently succeeded In
supporting two mice for eight days on
hemlock seed. They ate it at first with
repugnance, and even appeared to suffer
from the diet. At the end of the eight
days one of the mice seemed very ill,
the other was all right. Next day he
found the sick mouse half eaten by the
other, which continued in &ood health,
and which he liberated a few drys af
terward. Bui during these eight days
the animals bad eaten hemlock seed in
quantities which would have been fatal
to a man.
Fertilization of Flutters bu Birds. A
curious chain of circumstances, leading
to a definite natural result, is noted by
a correspondent of Mature writing from
Mendanao. Certain flowers secrete
nectar, which attracts ce. tain insects.
These insects are the natural prey of
the sun birds and flower peckers; but
to capture them the birds are obliged to
probe diligently fie co.ollas of numer
ous flowers. Each bird in so doing
brushes off pollen, which adheres to
the plumage surrounding ita bill, and
this pollen is thus conveyed to other
Bowers, which so become fertilized.
Hints about Glue. Good glue'should
be a light-brown color, semi-transparent,
and free from waves or cloudy
lines. Glue loses much of hif strength
by frequent re-melting: therefore, glue
which is newly made is preferable to
that which has been re-boiled. The
hotter the glue the more force it will
exert in keeping the joined parts glued
together, lu all large long joints it
should be applied immediately after
boiling. Apply pressure until it is set
or hardened.

Lunar Superstitions.
The Tyrolese cure freckles by wash
ing them at night with water in which
the moon shines. In the Harz Moun
tains and Silesia the remedy for goiters
is to turn one's face to the increasing
moon three evenings running, then
take a stone, silently touch the swelling
with it, and throw it over the left
shoulder. Meier quotes a Swabian
chaom for toothache. When the cresent
moon reappears for the first time, the
sufferer must gaze at it steadfastly and
repeat thrice: "I seethe moon with
two points points; my teeth shall
neither sooth nor ache until I see the
moon with three points." Crabs caught
during full moon, and then burned
alive and ground to powder, cure hy
drophobia. Of course the moon neces
sarily assists at all deeds of sorcery,
such as casting magic bullets, the manu
facture of a divining-rod- and the like.
The following receipt for avenging
one's self on one's enemies is given by
Kuhn in West phalia: " hen the new
moon falls on a Tuesday, go out before
daybreak to a stake selected before and,
turn to the cast and say, "Stick, I grasp
thee in the name of the Trinity.' Take
thy knife and say, 'Stick, I cut thee in
name of the Trinity, that thou mayest
obey me and chastise any one whose
name I may mention.' Then peel the
stick in two places, to enable thee to
carve these words, Abia, obla, sabia.
Lay smock-frock on thy threshold
and strike it hard with the stick, at the
same time naming the person is to be
beaten. Though he may be many miles
away, he will suffer as much as if he
were on the spoL" The ancient Greek
and Romans considered the moon to be
a protection against the evil eye, and
they hung small moons made of metal
round their necks as amulets. Even
the wives and horses of the Romans
wore them. The custom has not yet
disappeared in Italy and the East. Some
years ago Neapolitan ladies used to
wear small silver hair moons on their
arms as a preservative against epilepsy,
which popular belief has always con
nected with the evil eye. The talis

Unbolted Flour. The advocates of
unbolted flour so long held complete
sway in our public journals that the
following from the American Miller has
at least the appearance or novelty:
"The disparaging comparisons which
Grahamltes made between bolted and
unbolted flour by means of analysis
showing the constituent parts of each,
seemed an unanswerable argument until
some thoughtful German determined to
analyze the bran after it left the system,
when lol it was almost entirely un
changed. It thus appears that the human
stomach is not powerful enough to
effect that decomposition which advo
cates of unbolted flour assume takes
place. It also shows that the analogy
between man and lower orders of crea
tion fails to bold good in this case as in
many others. Physiologists have de
termined the fact that the woody fibre
contained in bra acts as an irritant on
the coating of the stomach, causing a
amount of inflammation which, instead
of stimulating digestion, retards it. We
know precisely what the Urahamite
would reply to these objections. He
woild say that the fact of valuable
nutritive elemeuts being locked up in
the bran is prima facie evidence that the
bran was intended for food. Now,
valuable nutritive elements are con
tained in i fish-bone, but you could
hardly persuade a disciple of Graham
to swallow one. We cannot see any
more evidence that one was designed
for food tnan the other, for the bran is
only an outside vegetable skeleton
which the wheat carries for its protec
tion. The fact 'of this vegetable ske'eion
or pod containing elements of nutrition
Is no more than could be expected ; for
what is ood to make one frame-work
is good material for another, but is no
evidence that it will make another."
This presents the question of the use
of unbolted dour in a new light, and
we give it to our readers without any
indorsement and for just what they find
it to be worth.
Reed-Birds tor Farmers. Every
farmer can raise his own crop of Reed
Birds in this section of country, at a
very little expense. On every farm
there is a half or fourth acre of land
that can be dispensed with which be

(which is not too late yet to do), and
when this is maturing in September it
will extract reed-birds in great numbers,
and they are at bis mercy. As they
feed early, he can have a broil for

temptingly appetizing. The plot of
ground be in easy reach of a bush fence,
from which he can approach within
gun-shot on at least two sides. When
none of these are at hand a "blind"

of concealment, which can be removed
when the "season is over.
To Save Cracked Eogs. It often
hr ppens that valuable eggs get cracked
in the nest, or before putting them
under the hencrin the incubator. Such
may be saved by the application of a
little mucilage or liquid glue with a
camel-hair brush over the crack and
then rolling the eg in fine plaster of
Paris.
Another method is to paste strips of
gummed paper over the cracks; but we
are inclined to recommend the plaster
treatment in preference to the latter.

I V,tK n In a Silver Mine.
Those who have never personally in
spected the lower levels of our mines
may obtain some idea of the degree of
heat to be found therein by visiting
the Savage works atthe change of shifts.
The men packed together as close as
they can stand on the cage are popped
up out of the shaft all steaming hot, for
all the world like a bunch of asparagus
just lifted from the pot. They make
their appearance in a cloud of steam
that pours up continuously from the
" depths profound," and are dimly seen
until they step forth upon the floor of
the works. As the men land and separ
ate, each carries with him for half a
minute his little private cloud of vapor.
As this passes off the man is seen to be
naked from the waist up, his skin as
though he had just been lifted out of a
pool of water. The men bring up with
them besides the steam an amount of
heat that may be felt by the spectator
as they pass. All this is at the top of
the shaft, where it is considered quite
cool what, then, must It be hundreds
of feet below, w here the men started
from down where the water stands at
157 degrees Fahrenheit? Down there
no steam is seen it is too hot for it.
It is only when the hot, moist air com
ing up from the lower regions strikes
the cool air toward the top of the shaft
that it takes the form of steam. Down
there where the men come from you
must keep your hands off the pump
column and the pllcs, and if you pick
up any iron tool you will at once put it
down without being told to do so
Down there they handle things with
gloves on, or wrap rags about the drills
they are guiding and iron apparatus
they are moving, and down there, too,
you will learn to keep your mouth shut
after you have drawn a few mouthful
of hot air into your lungs. Perspire?
It is no name for it. You are like a sponge
that is being squeezed. You are ready
to believe that you have ten million
pores to every square inch of surface,
or as many more as any authority may
mention, and that all these pores are as
big as the cells of a honey-comb. You
go for ice water and it almost seems to
hiss as it passes down your throat you
keep f oing for it, and thus, in a short
time, find out what becomes of the tons
and tons of ice that are daily consumed
in the mines. Remain below among
the miners for an hour or two, and
when yon are finally popped out at the
top of the shaft, all p d-hot and steaming
among the other asparagus sprouts, you
will appreciate the beauty, t'ie light
and the coolness of the upper world.

A Joke that Missed Fire. Cooley's
oldest boy is a little too fond of playing
practical jokes. The other evening be
went up into the third story back room
in which the hired man sleeps, and,
fixing a piece of stout twine to the bed
clothes, ran It down stairs into his
own room, with the intent to remove
the covers from the hired man as soon
as that individual got into bed. The
Cooley's had just taken down their
winter stoves, and had the parlor
stove standing temporarily at the head
of the third-story stairs. The man dis
covered the string just as he was retir
ing, and, comprehending the motive of
the intended trick, he quietly untied it,
and lastened it to the stove. The boy,
meantime, had gone to bed, and for
gotten about the string. But about ten
o'clock Mr. Cooley, who was up stairs
getting apples in the garret, caught his
oot in the string as he was coming
own the steps.
He fell, and pulled the stove over
after him, and the next moment Cooley,
a pan of apples, and about forty pieces
of stove, stovepipe, grates, and brick
lining, were rattling down stairs, with
a noise like a volley of musketry. As
Cooley lay on the landing with a pile of
apples and cast iron heaped upon him,
Mrs. Cooley, and the boy and the ser
vants came rushing out to ascertain
what on earth was the matter. As tbey
approached, Cooley said :
Terrible, wasn't It r" Awfulest earth
quake we ever had in this country.'
Was there a real earthquake?' asked
Mrs. Cooley. '1 didn't feel a shake.'
'Didn't feel it!' exclaimed Cooley,
taking a stove-leg out of his shirt-collar
and brushing the soot from his clothes.
Didn't feel it? Why, my gracious!
The house rocked like a cradle. 1
thought she'd go clear over every min
ute. It's the worst shock I ever felt.
Sent me skipping down stairs with
things a rattling after me till I thought
the roof had bursted in. There's some
thing queer about these natural convul
sions. These scientific men say that
the shake always moves kinder in waves
from east to west, so that If It comes
from Hello! what's this?' exclaimed
Cooley, discovering the twine wrapped
around his leg. 'Who tied that string
to that there stove ?'
As he looked around inquiringly, he
observed his oldest boy suddenly mount
upon the banister and glide swiftly
down to the first floor, where he stood
waiting for an offensive movement on
the part of his father. Then Cooley
leaned over the railing, and, shaking
his fist at him said:
'You wicked little scoundrel! if you
ain't a candidate for the gallows I'm no
judge. You come up here and go to
bed, and to-morrow morning 1 11 tan
your hide for you with a bed-slat. You
mind me? I'll give you enough earth
quake to make you dance from here to
the equator, you tow-headed outcast !'
Then the family went to bed, and the
boy crept softly up the kitchen stairs,
thinking there was not much fun in
such jokes anyhow. Max Adeler.
A ladt who is very deaf stopped a
milkman as he was passing the house
the other day, and asked him how much
he charged for a quart of milk, and
then put up her ear trumpet to catch
the reply. The man drew a quart of
milk and emptied it into her trumpet,
and the result has been that he has to
go three miles out of the way to keep
out of sight of the lady, who now sits
on the porch with a shot, gun waiting
for him to pass.
A babt is not a very large thing
"only a baby," says the poet. And yet
this inconsequental package of tender
humanity will with scarcely an ap
parent effort drown the heavy breath
ings of a mighty engine, out bellow the
raging ocean, banish sleep from two
decks of a steamboat and chain the at
tention of a thousand sleepy passengers
for seven consecutive hours.
"Asxa dear, if 1 should attempt to
spell Cupid, why could I not get be
yond the first syllable?" Anna gave it
up, whereupon William said: "Be
cause when I come to c u, of course I
cannot go further." Anne said she
thought that was the nicest conundrum
she had ever heard.

A Story of Flip-Day.
The old Abercombie house at I'elhaiu.
Mass., is said to have once ln-en the
scene of a practical joke by Rev. Mr.
Abcrcroinbie, the original occupant
of the house and minister of the town.
In hi days, of course. Hip was the com
mon beverage of clergymen and the
laity, and no objection was ever made,
unless eople became notoriously over
indulgeiit. The charge was finally
brought at a church meeting that the
minister was drinking too freely, and a
committee was appointed to tell him of
his fault nd warn him of the danger of
continuing in it. Warned of their
coming, the erring pastor told hi wife
to prepare the !irt round of flip, which
even this committee would exjiect, with
equal parts of ruin and water, the next
with more rum, am! the next mostly
rum. The committee, soon after their
arrival, partook of the flip which their
pastor ordered, after w hich they made
known the nature of their errand. The
pastor admitted that there inilit lie
need of the reproof, and that he would
be governed by it. Then came the sec
ond round of flip, and, as the business
had been dispatched, the committee
were disposed to le talkative and social
with the pastor who had so humbly ad
mitted his sin at their rebuke. The
flip came around the third time, and it
is said near sunrise the next morning
two of the committee managed to reach
their homes, but the third lay pi one
on the floor, unable to stir from the ef
fects of the flip, until broad day light.
At the adjourned church meeting,
when this committee made their report,
it is said they made a very ronrise re
port of their visit to the pastor, and the
kindly way in which he received the
reproof, by reporting: "We have called
on the pastor, as directed, and he gave
us Christian satisfaction."
The Spread of the CUiu Rake.
The clam bake is a New England dis.
covery. It was first known among the
Indians on the shores of Narragausett
Bay, in Rhode Island, long before" the
whites ventured into that little State.
The Indians not only piled clams and
seaweed uon the hot rocks, but cooked
corn in the ear in the same way. Rhode
Island, especially Rocky Point, used to
monopolize the clam bake, when it ex
tended to other portions of the New
England coast, until now every well
regulated family that goes down to the
shore indulges in this toothsome pleas
ure. At home, under ordinary circum
stances, one can eat a tolerably well-
filled bowl of clam chowder, but, at the
beach, under the inspiriting inlliieuce
of the ocean, with its invigorating and
apMtizing tonic, it is no trouble at all
for one to get outside of an indefinite
quantity of steamed dams when taken
from the sizzling and sissiug bake.
There is a mystery about this capacity
to devour clams on the ocean rocks that
is incomprehensible.
