HOUSE, FARM AND GARDEN.
The Peaoh and Where it Originally Came
. From.
The peach originated in Persia and
Nothern India, and le of the same genua
as the almond. The nectarine differs
from the peach only In being, smooth,
while the peach Is downy. It Is a mere
varlety.probauly produced and assuredly
preserved by cultivation. The freestone
peach of the French Is their peche, while
the clingstone la the pavic, A remarka
ble variety of Chinese origin, has the
fruit compressed and flattened, with al
most evergreen leaves. The peach is
cultivated widely in Southern Europe,
in many parts of the East, in South
America and Australia, though it baa
never, it is believed, attained the perfec
tion of the fruit of the United States.
New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware,
Maryland and Ohio raise superb peaches
and have often orchards containing from
20,000 to 25,000 trees. The quantity of
dried peaches is reported to be steadily
increasing, while peach brandy is di
minishing. Peach water obtained by
ey bruiBlng the leaves of the tree, mix.
ing the pulp with water and distilling it
is not only employed in flavoring, but
in medicine as a sedative and vermifuge.
The stone of the fruit is very like the
bitter almond in its properties and the
blossoms, exhale an odor of bitter
almonds. Botfi'the stones and blossoms
are used in the Making of a liquor called
Tersieo. In the Old and New World
there is, it is said, more than 100 varie
ties of the delicious fruit.
Something about Nutmegs.
Nutmegs grow on little trees which
look like little pear trees, and are gen
erally not over twenty feet high. The
flowers are very ranch like the lllly of
the valley. They are pale and very
fragrant. The nutmeg Is the seed of
the fruit, and mace is the thin covering
over the seed. The fruit is about as
large as a peach. When ripe it breaks
open and shows the little nut inside. ;
The trees grow on the islands of Asia
and in tropical America. They bear
fruit for seventy or eighty years, having
ripe fruit upon them all the seasons.
A fine tree in Jamaica has over 4,000
nutmegs on it yearly. The Dutch used
to have all this nutmeg trade, as they
owned all the Banda islands and con
quered all the other traders, and destroy
ed the trees. To keep the price up,
they once burned three piles of nut
megs, each of which was as large as a
church. Nature did not sympathize
with such meanness. The nutmeg pig.
eon, found In all the Indian Islands, did
for the world what the Dutch had deter
mined Bhould not be done carried those
nuts, which are their food, into sur
rounding countries, and trees grew
again, and the world had the benefit.
&"A Columbus, Georgia, paper re
lates the following : On Judge Allen's
plantation, near Steam Mill, is one of
the most remarkable calves on record.
It is owned by a tenant on the place,
and his wife, who did the milking of
cows, usually took her six-year old
daughter with her to keep away the
calves. The little girl decided she would
play milk woman, and see if she conld
milk the little calves. She was surprised
to find that one of the calves gave milk,
' and called the attention of her mother
to the fact. The lady then began to
milk the calf, which at nine months old,
gave a gallon, and at twelve months
feave three gallons per day. The calf
was exhibited at the State Fair, and
took a premium!
Worth Remembering.
Now that good times are again upon
us, before indulging in extravagant show
it is worth remembering that no one can
enjoy the pleasantest surroundings if la
bad health. There are hundreds of mis
erable people going about to-day, with
disordered stomach, liver or kidneys, or
a dry hacking cough, and one foot in the
grave, when a 60 ct. bottle of Parker's
dinger Tonlo would do them more good
than all the expensive doctors and quack
medicines they have ever tried. It al
ways makes the blood pure and rich and
will build you up and give you good
health at little coast. Head of it in an

A Crosa Baby.
Nothing is so conducive to a marine
remaining a bachelor' as stopping for
ne night at the bouse of a married
friend and being kept awake for five or'
Kix hours by the crying of a cross baby.
