When the people Were disobed ient and stilt-necked, the Lord thtvatened to break the statt of their broad, or destixy the grain f mm which their bread was made, thus conveying the importance of this variety of footl in His view, as Well as in the estimation of the Jews. Of all the food preparations mentioned in use anion? the an cients, none were soindisieii sable! though ever so rudely manufac tured, as that of bread; and to this day, among those people who are unable to procure our choicely cultivated cereals, substitutes which we would .pronounce posi lively uneatable 'and indigestible are used as the great 'Staff of life," with ydiich to satisfy the cravings of hunger. AjS ei rly as 1 C0J. we lea rn from histbrv that the North American aborigines, although deeming the cultivation of the soil a degrading occupation for the men of their tribes, required it erformed.as far as practicable, by theirsquaws and the children. Their staple crop was maize, or Indian corn, frorri"which, among the many ial u table iind nutritious dishes man ufactured, w-as corn-pounded in a mortar, then sifted through a home-made basket and made into ash-cakes, .which they. ; called, -'siq) paun." On the Devonshire coast inEng- !and, a sea grass (Porphy ra lacin iata) is boiled, -chopped, "mixed with a small pro)ortioii of oatmeal, and made into bread, wiiich keejis from four to eight days, and is much used by the j)Oor Welsh leople, most of it "being sent to Swansen.

SURVIVAL OF SOME CELESTIAL SU .PERSTITIONSIN MODERN TIMES Something of the influences of ancident astrology is shown in the X)pular belief that the rising and setting of Sirius, the dog star, in- f u se s m ad no s s into the canine race. In our medical prescriptions, too, the old superstition appears. The ornamental part of the apotheca ry's 11 is none other than the" sign of Jupiter, under whose- special care medicines, were supposed to have been placed, and our nos trums are still compounded under the symbol of Jove's protection. The letter itself receipe, take a nd i t s 1 lo u ri sh ra ea n s u b s ta n t ially 'Ihis: "Under the srood auspices of Jove, the patron of medicine, take the following' goods in the proportions set down." Some try to throw the responsibility for the symbol R back to Raphael, .but the sum of evidence -points to Jupiter as, 'its patron. In America Friday is tradition ally in good repute. Columbus sailed on Friday and first discov ered land on Friday, the Pilgrims landed on Friday, and on Fridaj' Washington was born. Yet even in America, notwithstanding all these 'best accidents, a 11a vor of misfortune attends -the day, and the transactions for Friday show how widespread is the prejudice against it. Other days less generally. ma. ligued are Cain's birthday, the tirst Monday in ..April; the 3rd of May, called the "dismal day" in the highlands of Scotland, and Decembe r 3 1, when Judas hanged himself. Aprois of Judas, the superstition of unlucky 13 proba bly has its origin with that un wort tip disciple. The ill "omen dates f rom the last supper, when 13 sat at - table. One denied his Master and went out and hanged himself, and since that time twel ve g rou kh1 toge the r f ea r another one." A deep seated prejudice obtained against any given 13 dipping together in the disii, lest one fall a victim to mis fortune before .'the 'end of theyear. The existence of the defiant; 'Thir teen club" in New York, which makes that luckless number the pivot on which all its doing turn,, should do something todisjK'l this time stained superstition.

THE STATE GRANGE. CONCLUDED FROM IVST WEEK. TheCommittee on Education re X)r ted as follows : . REPORT OP COMMITTEMEN ON ED- dccatio:;. WORTHY MASTER AND PATRONS Your committe on education bejr leave to submit the following The cardinal .'principle of the Grange is to educate. Not only should the children be educated in the common acception of what the term signifies, but farmers themselves should be edu cated. The Grange primarly is a school. Each member is a pupiL The oDiect is m rw--9 t i not only to educate men in all those principles which tend to ele vate the occuation of the farmer in the minds of the people,- but to inculcate jirinciples which will promote the dignity of the farm er himself as a farmer. Intelli gence rules and governs .every important undertaking. If farm- ers really wish to deserve and re ceive the confidence and esteem i of other classifications of men, they must manage their .own af fairs wTith wisdom, and advocate theirownclaims wTith intelligence. They must learn to avoid the' ex tremes which always have a ten- dericy to weaken the influence of those so unfortunate as to fall in to them. To be successful in its work the Grange must cultivate a desire for learning and foster a spirit of education. Education is the ffmniifl wnrlr nn whiph rr must build. . - Respectfully Submitted.

This is a college record of which any man might take a just pride, and which indicates not only the cap- acity but the indomitable will and fidelity to duty which are funda- mental principles of success. In July, 1887, immediately after his graduation, he .was' chosen Princiixil of Lexington Female Seminary and after a very suc- cessful years' work declined re- elec tion to accept a professorshii) in Gieensboix Female College, which position he held until his eiec tion to the presidency.
