NEW VEGETABLES,
Being Introduced In United States
From Mexico and Europe.
The Department of Agrlculture
making experiments retie man
new onetables, which, .says the
Saturday Evening' Poet, are expect-
ed to prove useful in this country,
if the people can 'be persuaded to
grow them. Its explorers are fetch-
ing them from Mexioce whica ie
known to possess many /ood plants
that would be of much value 11 in-
troduced into the United States.
Among the available Mexican vege-
tables are various Uncle of Peppers
and several epecies of tomatoes,
whieli aro unknown to us. For ex-
ample, there is the "husk tomato,"
which sa about the size of a horse-
eleestnut, and is contained In a, 'ort
of detachable rind' that is removed
when the fruit es zero a's a prelim-
inary to cooking it. It is not good
raw; but- is isned to be excellent
whim stewed or fried. Th'e „Mexi-
cans preserve It as a sweet pickle.
Then there is a brand now kind
of cucumber, which t ,quite an odd-
ity in its Way, into:much as it ex-
plodes witha loud report when
ripe, throweng its red seeds to a
distance. It chief use is as a Med-

sirable for gardens. More valuable

or six time the ordinary size. Soon,
doubtless, it well be 'commonly
grown Ip this country, and will be
obtainable in our markets. It ,has
a delightful fiew,er.,
Another Europeanvegetable which
Uncle Sans wants to introduce is
th'e tuber of a plant that Woke a
good deal like Marcie gran. It is
only about as big as a bazelnut, and
when eaten raw resembles cocoanut
In flavor., Tits is called "chervil!'
and may be cooked in a variety of
-wicays. The plant is a kind of sedge.
Special attention le being paid to
tie cultivation of new pot herbs on
the experimental farm which the
Government maintains near Wash-
ington,. ,and tho seeds of the best
of th'ese, when a sufficient supply
leas been obtaned, will be distri-
buted to farmers and gardenere.
Notable among them is a plant from
India called "baselia," watch bears
fruit that looks like little bl eke
berries. It is a vine, leas pink
blossoms resembling those of the
terbutue, and is said to be delicious.
It is always difficult to persuade
people to eat new. things -a fact
of reach the commxtion tomato,
evelich a generation ago ware consid-
ered poisonoue in New England, af-
fords a familiar illustration. Never -
theism every new vegetable is an
important addition to our happiness
and welfare, and even a novelty in
the way of pot herb is a contri-
bution not to be despised by these
who appreciate a well -flavored

Miss Alice Bailey, of
Atlanta, Ga., escaped the sur-
geon's knife, by using Lydia E.
Pinkluun's Vegetable Compound.
"DRAB MRS. Piroomelf r -I wish to
express my gratitude for the restored
health and happiness Lydia Pink -
ham's Vegetable Compound has
brought into my life.
"I had suffered for three years with
terrible pains at the time of menstrua-
tion, and did not know what the trouble
was until the doctor pronounced it in-
flammation of the ovaries, and
proposed an operation.
'1 I felt so weak and sick that I felt
sure that I could not survive the ordeal,
and sol told him that I would not un.
dergo it. The following week I read
an advertisement in the paper of your
Vegetable Compound in such an mei.-
geney, and so I decided to try it. Great I
was my joy to find that I actually im-
proved after taking two bottles, so I
kept taking it for ten weeks, and at the
end of that time I was cured. I had
gained eighteen pounds and was in
excellent health, and am now.
"You surely deserve great success,
and you have my very best wishes."-,

There is thus a marked decrease in
the total number of .alion Immigrants
to the United Kingdom for 1901,
while it Is much larger than in the
years before 1899.
Mho total population of Central
London in 1901 numbered 4,586,541,
Of these there were 2,894,456 females,
as against 2,142,085 males. Thus the
females In the metropolis exceed the
'males by 252,371, there being 1,118
females to every 1,000 males, as
against 1,116 for every 1,000 at tho
census of 1891.

during 1901 number 131,278, Wallah
arprks out at 29 ,per 1,000 of the po-
pulation. The deaths numbered 79,-
924, or about 1.7 per 1,000. It will
thus be seen, by an easy calculation
not to be Sound in these otatistics
that, reughly, every ;forty seconds
merits a birth inathe metropolis and
that every minute and a quarter
marks the death of some one In the
same area, The death -rate is low -
or ;for 1901 than; for 1900, and is
lower than that of iany of our great
Cities except Bristol and Leicester.
Tile diagrams given of the birth-
rate of London show, that the rate
increased from 1851 to 1867, when
the maximum of '86.55 was reached,
and declined tram 1870 to 1901, when
the rate of 29.0 was reacbed. .The
birth-rate ler 1901 is. the lowest
on record.
A touch of humoe is infused into
this report in regard to the Rum-
mary lot marriages which have taken
place, as the tact that the 'number
of females married corresponds with
the males is gravely recorded. The
number is 40,010, and by a coinci-
dence the percentage per 1,000 of
marriages corresponds with ;the num-
ber of births wbich have taken place
n the same year -viz., 17.6 per 1,-
000.
The advice to Samivel to "bevare

wholly regarded in London, for the
