We have jnst found out . where tbo
term “drummer” originated. It is
from tbo Arabic “dramerdary.” Tbe

pyer more ground in a given space of
time thau any other animal that Capt.
George Washington Noah bad in bis
menhgerie. TW only difierence is
that [the dromedary drinks ahead
enough to last him Ibe whole trip.—
We have found the origin of tbe word
and wo want a chromo.

A' writer 1 id the Industrial' Review
advises tbe introduction of tbe bam-
boo in tho SontKerS' States. Though
capnble of growing on tbe uplands, it
is Raid to be espOeiidlJ'suited to and
valuable for low-tyltig mirshy reglOns
such as fringe tbo South Atlantic and
Gulf States. Its use; ore numerous.
As a timber for construction and
building purposes, for tooola, imple
ments, etc., it is well known. Af an
article of food, its young shoots serve
as substitutes for vegetables, and are
pronounced as delicious. Bamboo
curry and cdow-ehow are excellent.—
Tbe growing plant is invaluable also
as a defense against malaria, sweep
ing fires and cyclones.

Tbe so-called Christian, who will
not give fonr cents a week for his

dirty seoeationpl, weekly for bis chil

ing. There is no more pernicious
evil tbsn many of tbe publications
that are issued from the prolific press
of our laud.
. From aD exchange we clip the fol
lowing item whioh is especially spre*
poB to this community just now:
“Our people pay more for nmnse-
ments than for tbe education of their
children—and mostly a very low. style
of amusements at that A single cir
cus will carry away from a town mon
ey enoagh to build the ucademf it has
so long needed, and leave nothing be
hind hot a little fresh slang and a few
stale,jokes.”
Tbe happy Christian is no enthusi
ast. He is one of tbe most reasona
ble men Icr tbe world. Ask him why
be is happy, and be will open his Bi
ble and point to soma troth there,
enough to make any one happy. The
Holy Spirit has carried it borne to his
heart Oar own feelings may change,
but onr consolations are based on
God’s word, and those who enjoy
them can account for them,—Hore.
