tiiticul convenience, the country was
divided into twelve district few Eng*
land, New York nd Philadelphia,
Peninsular, Norfolk, Baltimore, South
Atlantic, Mississippi Valley, Southwest,
Central, Northwest, Mountain, Pacific
Coast. Previous to i860, Long Island,
New Jersey, J Ida ware, and southern
Illinois were the chief truck centres, but
to-day over seventy-live per cent, of our
vegetables conic from the South Atlantic
States, the Mississippi Valley, the celery
districts of Ohio and Michigan, and from
the Pacific coast. A very considerable
portion of the truck products consumed
in our great cities is grown from 500 to
1500 miles away, and favored localities,
more particularly at the South, devote
their energies to the growth cf special
varieties of green food, for which there
is n steady demand throughout the year.
“Late in the fall and early in the spring,
Florida and lower Mississippi Valley sup
ply . the . ,, LasU-rn and ,
central cities, and
< nhb rniu those of the far \V c.st and
mountain section, until the advancing
season at the rate of thirteen miles a
day, stalls the growth and consequent
supply up along the Atlantic Coast and
tlm great Mississippi Valley, when the
full season of mu summer in the North
the supply, until winter frosts
where once more compel n return to the South,
a fresh crop awaits the demand of
the market.”
New potatoes, cabbages, cauliflowers
nud tomatoes are ns yet tho only vege¬
tables shipped from California so far
east as St, Louis, Kansas City and Chi¬
cago, aud then only in small quantities
to meet a partial failure of crops in tho
Mississippi Valley and Florida,
t The average melon fields of the South
Atlantic States yield about -1U0 salable
melons per acre; 1200 will load a car,
which will sell at the North anywhere
from $150 to $275, leaving net returns
from nothing up to $150 per car. One
gentleman in Dawson County, Georgia,
reports making a net profit of $1700
from thirty-two acres m 1889. Over
114,000 acres are devoted to melon-rais¬
ing in the United States. A crop that
has gained in value of late years in the
Southern districts is sweet potatoes;
these now return a handsome profit, in
pome eases as high as $100 an acre on
farm which formerly barely met ex¬
penses. One owner of 300 acres near
Capo Charles, Va., cleared $20,000 last
year from his truck, or over twenty-five
per cent, on the investment; such a re¬
turn was only rendered possible by re¬
cent favorablo railroad facilities. The
small section, Mobile County, Alabama,
shipped during the past three years $1,-
629,064 worth of truck; other Southern
distributing points, such as Savannah,
Charleston, Jacksonville, etc., supply
equally significant returns.
In the South Atlantic and Mississippi
Valley districts many freedmeu are eu
gaged in this industry; they own then
own farms and teams, and successfully
rival their white neighbors. Some of
tho special reports filled out by these ne¬
gro ti uckers prove thorough grasp of
their business on both the practical and
commercial sides. One, selected for
print, shows an average net income per
acre varying from $75 for cabbages and
$50 for asparagus down to $25 for water¬
melons, a crop which is more prolific, but
less remunerative, at the South thau iu
other districts.

reported for tomatoes is $300 in the New
England; the lowest, $20.in the north
wist district. The New England district
also returns $2000 per acre as profit on
cucumbers (thi- enormous profit results
from their culture under glass at great
expenses), as against $25 in the Norfolk
district. On the whole it seems that
xvhilo the Northern districts report a
larger return per acre for certain of the
truck staples—such as beets, celerv,
spinach aud tomatoes—the South shows
a high average profit on all varieties,
with a larger aggregate of land and labor
employed in trucking. In a word, raoVin^ the

were em
ployed in the nrts for the manufacture of
many ornamental articles and for Lho
preparation . of kind of varnish. It
a was
obtained by the ancients from the coast
of the Baltic Sea, where it is still found,
especially between Konigsbcrg and Her
mel, m greater abundance than any
where else in the world. It sometimes
incloses insects of species which no
longer exist. Leaves have also been
found inclosed in it. Specimens which
contain leaves or insects are very highly
valued. Pieces of amber have occasion¬
ally been found of twelve or thirteen
pounds weight, but such pieces are ex¬
tremely rare. Great quantities are con¬
sumed in Mohammedan worship at
Mecca, and it is iu great demand
throughout the East. Tho beauty and
hardness of amber have caused it to be
long esteemed by smokers for mouth¬
pieces of pipes and tubes for cigar
holders. In Turkey as much as $1500
has been given for a single mouth-piece.
It is particularly esteemed by the Turks,
in the belief that no infectious diseases
can be communicated through it. The
value of amber differs greatly, according
to its tint and opacity. The bright yel¬
low transparent amber is least valuable.
Dark, nearly opaque yellow, has a much
higher value; and the best of all is the
opaque lemon-colored. It is said that

amulets belonging to the Shah of Persia

!
In the vicinity of Toluca; one of the
characteristic products of the Mexican
tableland can be seen in its highest state
state of cultivation. This is the maguey
or century plant, known to science as the
Agave Americana. It i3 the vegetable
.chiei well from and which almost pulque tne only is native drawn—the brew, |
Its leaves furnish the fibre exported as
ixtle for the manufacture of rope, brushes ;
and cloth. The same fibre supplies ma- ’
terial industrial for paper, and Indian it has many other the j
uses. women take
make prickly pins points and of neeciles the spiky of them. leaves Their and j
* husbands thatch their huts with the 1
dried leaves and also burn them as fuel j
when a fire is to be kindled. It is a
wonderful plant, growing in profusion j
throughout the plateau and generally in
s °il where nothing else will thrive. At
Toluca it is a sheaf of broad green blades
from three to ten feet in height. While
it grows wild in every patch of neglected
ground, it is cultivated on a largo scale
both for pulque and ixtle, and is one of
the most profitable crops. On the line
tbe Mexican National from the capital
*11 the way to the border fields and j
patches of magueyes are-the most fami 1
* ;ir objects of the landscape; but it is in
these central highlands that the most
vigorous plants are seen. It is here, too,
that the best pulque is made.
I he Indian race, with its inexhausti
hie resources of patience, is admirably
fitted to stand watch over this plant and
| to milk it at the proper times and sea
sons. 1 here are ceitam signs of rnatur
ity which do not escape the practised
eye. When the stem suddenly shoots
up and the bending leaves are straight
nud bristling the time for blooming is at
hand. The stem is then cut oil and the
heart of the plant is pierced with a
jharp spoon, and a cavity several inches
fl ee p is made, so as to allow the sap to
collecf. At sunrise, noon and at sunset
‘ the honey-water, it -is called, is
as
drawn oil by means of a long gourd, one
| end of which is in tho liquid and the
other in the Indian’s mouth. From the
, gourd the sap is emptied into earthen
j rtr3 fln d thence carried into cellars,
where it is to be fermented, The milk
, ing continues day after day xTntil the
! j uice dries up. Then the leaves are cut
0 ff, washed and dressed, aud the fibre
is 8ent to market as ixtlo and exported
iu enormous quantities. One Indian can
take charge of 300 magueyes a day dur
ing tho milking season. The dressing
of the leaves furnishes employment for •
thousands of Indian women, since it is
largely done by hand, the stiength of the
fibre being impaired by machinery. The
most vigorous plants, when they have
reached maturity iu the eighth year,
will yield from three to seven
quarts of liquid a day for a
period of four or live months. These I
are magueyes planted on good ground ! :
sud watered during dry seasons. The
plants at their best will produce as mauy
as twenty-live pounds of ixtle.
If allowed to blossom the maguey will
sxhaust itself and die; but if protected
against premature suicide it bears a
hundredfold. Growing ordinarily in a
thin and sterile soil, it. seems to have
power to draw milk and honey out of the
rocks. For productive energy it is one
jf the marvels of the vegetable kingdom.
As pulque is the national drink, the
maguey is accounted by stern moralists
!o be the blighting curse of the country.
This seems to be an ill-considered indict¬
ment of beneficient nature, which has
jlothed the valleys and hillsides ol the
, Mexican tableland with the blue-green
j eerdure of the Agave Americana. In the
aot lands where pulque is uot made there
ire worse liquors brewed from the set
dings of cane-sugar. These would have
been a substitute in the highlands for
pulque, if the magueys had bloomed in
Mexico as in northern greenhouses—once
in a generation or a century. Pulque
wheu uufermented is as harmless as new :
rider, and much of what is druuk in
?uormous quantities by the peons rs of
:hi#kind. Then there is the fermented
j pulque. Which, while rich in alcohol, is
not so maddening an intoxicant as the
cheap brandy and rum brewed in Mexico
as well as iu other Spanish-American
(Countries.
The Toltec tradition is that the ruin
sud dispersion of the race were caused by
the discovery that a cheering and ine
briating drink could ba distilled from
the prickly maguey clumps. It was a
woman, naturally enough, who made the
first honeyed brew and tempted man to
taste and find out how happy and wise
be could be; and the King was well
pleased with his draught and straight
wav married the fair brewer; and then
tli the race took pulque aud went to
i the bow-wows, This is the tradition,

How Rice Paper is Made.
The so-called rice paper is not made of
rice, as its name implies, but from the
snow-white pith of a small tree belonging
to the genus Aralia, a genus represented
in the United States by the common
sarsaparilla aud the spikenard. The tree
grows in Formosa, and, so far as is
known, nowhere else. The stems are
transported to China, and there the rice
paper is made, which is used by native
artists for -water color drawings, or dyed
of various colors and made into artificial
flowers. I was invited to visit a worker
in pith and accepted the invitation. On
arriving at the house, I was ushered into
a badly lighted room, where a man wa 9
sitting at a table with I 113 tools in front
of him. These consisted of a smooth
stone about a foot square, and a large
knife or hatchet with a short wooden
handle. Placing a piece of cylindrical
pith on the stone and his left hand on the
top lie rolled the pith backward and for¬
ward for a moment until he got it into
the required position. Then, seizing the
knife with his right hand, he held the
edge of the blade, after a feint or two,
close to the pith, which he kept rolling
to the left with his left hand until noth
ing remained to unroll; for the pith had,
by the application of knife, been
pared into a square white sheet of uni¬
form thickness. All that remained to
be done was to square the edges. A
steady hand and a clear eye are required
for the work, and hence it is that the rice
paper is manufactured only at night,
when the city is asleep, and the makers
are not liable to be disturbed .—New
York Telegram.
The Man Freedom Shrieked Over.
Thaddeus Kosciuszko,A Captain in the
Polish Army, owing to an unfoitunate
love affair, came to America in his thirty
first year, and, October 18, 1770, re¬
ceived a commission as an officer of engi¬
neers. • He rose to be an Adjutant of
General Washington, and later was made
a Brigadier-General. At the end of the war
he received the thanks of Congress and
the badge of the Order of the Cincinnati.
Returning to Poland he was prominent
in efforts to free Poland from Russia
Prussian domination, but in 1797 re
turned to America and was given by
Congress a pension and a grant of land,
for, like other soldiers of fortune he
loved the good American dollar. He
died in Switzerland in October, 1816, by
a fall from his horse. Though he faith
fully observed his Russian parole, he
could never be reconciled to Russia’s
dismemberment of his country, and re
jected the courtesies and favors which
the Russians would gladly have conferred
in exchange for his influence in purifying
conquered Poland. When on his release
from prison in St. Petersburg and about
to depart from Russia, the Emperor Paul,
observing he had no sword, a thing all
gentlemen then carried, took off his own
and offered it. “Ah,” exclaimed Kosci
uszko, “I need no sword! 1 have no
country to defend!”
