EVERY THURSDAY AT KEWBERR S. C. CURIOSITIES OF AGRICULTURE. Roots of the Calla Lily as 1'aod-Caterpil lars Which Eear Mushroons. WASH INGToN, August 22.-A new vegetable is about to be introduced to the people of the United States < through the Department of Agricul tore. It is nothing more nor less than the root of the calla lily, which resem bles somewhat in appearance the or dinary Irish tuber, with the addition of a few whiskers that have nothing to do with the other qualities of the article. A section of it is so potatolike that you would not be likely to remark -any difference. In cooking it has first to be boiled, in order to. destroy certain aciid properties, after which it may be fried, roasted, baked, or what not, ac cording to taste. Farmers in Florida have begun to raise these calla roots for market. The plants grow readily in swamps, and so thickly that the yield of a single flooded acre is enormous. They reproduce themselves by the multiplication of their bulbs underground, so that the grower has simply to dig up the off shoots and leave parents to propagate anew. For centuries the Egyptians have cultivated a similar crop during the seasons of the Nile's overflow, and at the present time calla lily bulbs are a common vegetable in Japanese mar hets. So prolific and palatable are they that their propagation in many parts of the United States, where con ditions are favorable may be looked for ward to as an agricultural industry of the future. - The Department of Agriculture is continually engaged in trying to dis cover and encourage the cultivation of new and desirable varietis of fruits. Lately it has come across a sort of giant gooseberry that grows on trees, and within the last few days a long-sought prize has been obtained from Benton Harbor, Mich., in the shape of a really thornless blackberry. The picking of this delectable fruit has hitherto been interfered with to some extent by the spikes with which nature protects the branches, but in the future, it is hoped, people will be able to go blackberrying without danger of pricking their fingers. Experiments are making for the first time in the grafting of pecan trees. Accidental seedlings in Texas and New Mexico have developed nuts of this kind as far superior to the ordinary ones as the shellbark is to the pignut. Furthermore, i6 has been demonstrated that these improved varieties can read ily be perpetuated, and even bettered, by ,,raffing. Only a little cultivat ion is necessary to produce pecans of five or six times the size of the usual speci mens and with shells so bapery as to be easily broken between the forefinger and thumb. The writer saw a good sized pasteboard full of such samples in .the office of~the united States Po mologist yesterday, and ate a few to make sure of their delicious quality. The same process is possible with chest nuts, which grow to the size of a horsechestnut in some parts of the United States. They, too, are being grafted with a view to securing the in crease of their size and the improve ment of their edible qualities. In a certain Illinois valley hickory nuts used to grow as wide as t"te palm of one's hand, and efforts are being made to obtain a surviving plant so as' to propagate from them. The Department of State has just received from Consul Jones at Chin Klang, China, a small bottle contain ing some specimens of the curicus fun gus that grows from a species of cater pillar, literally transforming the ani mal into a vegetable and causing the unhappy insect to serve the purpose of a root. It is the larva of a -noth, and when the cold of winter approaches it makes its way down into the soil to the c pth of three or four inches. There it is attack'ed by a remarkable disease and sprouts, sending up a long shoot which appears and fructifies above the ground like any mushroom. The natives in Thibet and in the province of Sze-Khuan go about look ing for this fungus near myrtle trees of a certain sort. They dig up such speci mens as they discover and make them into little bundles, tied wvith red thread. In this shape they are sold as a med icine which is esteemed, if possible, more highly than the famous ginseng, being considered a powerful cuirative agent for diseases of tbe throat and lungs. This fungus has no other method of growth than the one described. The fructifying top that is above ground scatters its spores around under the scarlet-fowered myrtles on which the caterpillars feed. When tlge latter burrow into the soil to hibernate, they are apt to stir up some of the hostile germs, whereupon they are at once attacked and speedily transformed into vegetable tissue. The subetance, of their flesh is metamorphosed into stalks sprouting from their heads. Of corse, "a suflicient number of the larvoe escape this fate to perpetuate the species frm year to year and to sup reproductive opportunities for the fun *Curiously enough, the common white grub, which is tne larvo~ of a beetle, is in miany parts of the United States attackedi by a fungus in a similar man ner. 'I has been suggested that meas ures might be profitably taken to ar tificialy inoculate this destructive worm on a large scale with the disease, wtih a view to bringing about its ex termination. Thus far no economic use has been found for the sprouts pro duced. In New Zealand there grows out of the body of a big caterpillar a surprising edible mushroom, the stalks of which are eight to ten inches long, and are much prized by the natives for food. The latter also burn it for use as a coloring matter. There is a similar fnaus in Costa Rica. The Japanese grow several species of edible fungi in logs of decayed wood after a fashion peculiar to themselves. One species of mushroom, wbich is utilized in Europe for killing flies, be ing regarded as one of the most poison. ous forms, is used by the northeastern tribes of Asia as a substitute for ardent spirits, a single large spe( men being sufficient to produce a pleasiet intox ication for a whole day. By the Chi *nese still another variety is made te serve as a dye for silk. These are only a few of the ex'sting curiosities in the i ngs line. ANCE WILL GET EVEN WITH HIM Nineteen-Year-Old Beauty Charged to His Account as a War Widow. "At the last session of Congress I >layed it very low down on my friend, enator Vance, of North Carolina,' aid T. F. Kennedy, Canadian Paciflk icket agent, to a reporter for the St. .ouis Globe-Democrat. "A rathei )retty girl, with whom I had a slighl tcquaintance, asked for a letter to th( kgricultural Department people recom nending her for a place in the seed listribution rooms. I went to Vauc( mnd he growled 'No, sir, I'll recom. nend no woman for a place.' I argue mnd pleaded with him, finally saying But Senator, this is a very deservin voman.

The lette was written and the girl got the job Some months after this I was sittin with Vance on a steamboat, when u) walked this blooming damsel-she wa %bout 19-with a 'how are you, cal tain?' to me. She recognized Vane and addressed him, saying she hai ong de ired to thank him for his gres kindness, telling hia her name ani how his letter hL,1 sec-.ed her a sin( cure. Vance looked at me as much a to say, 'you just wait,' and accepted th person's thanks and languishing glance very quietly. When she had gon Vance turned to me and remarke mournfully: 'Kennedy, you are tb biggest liar and most stupendous frau on earth. I'll pay you for this if wait forty years.' " Turpentine's Many Uses. Turpentine is an articie so wide] used in the arts and so easily obtainc that its virtues as a domestic remed have, in a great measure, been ove looked, says the Boston Globe. In the early stages of croup or almo any throat or chest trouble it is w( nigh a specific. Rub the chest at throat until the skin is red, then tie piece of flannel or cotton batting. ov the chest moistened with a few dro of the oil, and inhale the vapor. I rubbing on sweet oil, irritation of t] skin may be avoided. For burns it is invaluable, appli< either with a rag or in a salve. T1 pain vanishes and healthy granulati< soon begins. Its use is at first attend< with considerable smarting, but t] permanent good more than compe sates for it. Turpentine in which is dissolved much camphor as it will take up pre-eminently the dressing for lace: tion, bruises and cuts. Its antisepi action is equal to carbolic acid; it spee ily stops the bleeding (Hunter sa "it is the best, if not the only tr styptic"), allays the pain and haste the process of healing. Few, if az ulcers long resist its continued appli< tion. As a liniment, turpentine with eqt parts of laudanum, camphor and ch: roformn is unsurpassed. Sprains, rhi matic pains, bruises, and sometin even neuralgia, yield to its magic inf ence. As an inhalation turpentine 1 proven of great service in bronchit pneumonia, pleurisy and other thr< and lung affections. If you have cough, sprinkle a little on a handk< chief and hold to your mouth and n< for a few minutes, breathing the yap and note the relief.

The Georgia Legislature Ecfru4- to Acpt the Confederate Home ui:t by l'opular Subscription. ATLANT_A, August 20.-Tie ouse of Representatives to-day refused, by a vote of 94 to 62 to accept fcr the State the Confederate Veterans Home, erec ted by popular subscription in the movement inaugurated by the late Henry W. Grady. The principal opposition to acceptance came from the Farmers' Alliance. In the State Convention of that Order here last week a resolution against the acceptance of the Home v:as adopted, and the Alliance members of the House almost to a man opposed its acceptance. There is great iudignation on the part of the people generally. The Confederate veterans have called a mass meeting of citizens for to-mof a row night to get an expression of opin ion. Similar indignation is expressed t in ajl parts of the State. The IIome cost something more than $50,000, and subscriptions were received from all r parts of Georgia and from GX orgtais and other boutberners both in the South and in New York. Flags of the Confederacy. e rFort Worth Gazette.] I As the days go by even the memory ,t of noted events grows dim, and in the d flight of years less than half a century is time sufficient to render extremely s uncertain a knowledge of things that e were deemed of minor importance. ,s That this is true is demonstrated by e the inability of many men, even Con d federate soldiers, to describe accurately e the flag under which they fought. d A friend of the Gazette, having seen I a published statement to the effect th: t there was uncertainty as to the flag, has kindly sent, with a copy of an au tograph letter of Jeft'erson Davis, two models of the flags. The one adopted y by the Confederate Congress as the na d tioUal flag, March 5, IS61, had a square y field of blue extending through the up r- per red stripe and the white stripe. In this there was a circle of white stars, st as many as the States of the Confeder '11 acy. The third (bottom) stripe was of id red and ran the full length of the flag. a The model sent by Mr. Davis and made er by his wife differs from this in that >s there are thirteen srs, equally distrib Y uted over the blue iield instead of form ie ing a circle. The second is what is known as the d "Confederate Congress battle flag." It ae is a plain red flag, with blue stripes ex ) tending from corner to corner: These d cross each other in the centre, one with ie seven and the other with six stars. n- Mr. ravis's letter reads as follows: "BEAUVoR, Miss., June 27, 18S8. as "Mrs. S. Lee Kennedy, Hillsborough: is "The flag on the right was the one a- first adopted by the Confederacy. It .i was subsequently changed, leaving out 1the bars, and t.he union became, as I d remember, like the battle flag which ys you find on the lef t.

I Children Cry for Pitcher's Castoris' The Liver When out of order, involves every organ of the body. Remedies for some other derange ment are frequently taken without the least effect, because it is the liver which is the real source of the t-ouble, and until that is set right there can be no health, strength, or comfort in any part of the system. Mercury, in some form, is a common specific for a slug, gish liver; but a far safer and more effective medicine is Ayer's Pills. For loss of appetite, bilious troubles, consti pation, indigestion, and sick headache, these Pills are unsurpassed. "For a long time I was a sufferer from stomach, liver, and kidney troubles, expe riencing much difficulty in digestion, with severe pains in the lumbar region and other parts of the body. Having tried a variety of remedies, including warm baths, with only temporary relief, about three months ago I began the use of Ayer's Pills, and my health is so much improved that I gladly testify to the superior merits of this medicine." Manoel Jorge Pereira, Porto, Portugal. "For the cure of headache, Ayer's Cathar tic Pills are the most effective medicine I ever used."--R. K. James, Dorchester. Mass. "When I feel the need of a cathartic, I take Ayer's Pills, and find them to be more effec tive than any other pill I ever took."-Mrs. B. C. Grubb, Burwellville, Va. "I have found in Ayer's Pills, an Invalua ble remedy for constipation, biliousness, and kindred disorders, peculiar to miasmatic localities. Taken in small and frequent doses, these Pills Act Well on the liver, restoring its natural powers, and aiding it in throwing off malarial poisons." -C. F. Alston, Quitman, Texas. "Whenever I am troubled with constipa tion, or suffer from loss of appetite, Ayer's Pills set me right again."-A. J. Kiser, Jr., Rock House, Va. " In 1858, by the advice of a friend, I began the use of Ayer's Pills as a remedy for bil ousness. constipation, high fevers, and colds.
