Tho Baying, "A bird In tho hand is worth
two in the bush," originato I from tho follow
Ing clicuinstanco: Will Homers, tho cohv
br.ttcd Jester to Henry VIII, happened t
cell nt Ixrd Burrey's, whom ho had often, by
u well timed Jest, saved from tho king's dis
pleasure, nnd who, consequently, was always
glad to fee him. Ho wns on this occasion
tulieral Into tho nvlary, where ho found "my
lord" amusing himself with his birds. Bomeru
happened to ndiniro tho plumagoof n king
Usher, 'lly my lady, my princo of wits, 1
w ill glvo It to you," Will skipped about with
delight, and sworo by tho great Harry ho was
a most noble gentleman. Awny went Will
with his kingfisher, telling nil hlsacqualnt
uncos w houi bo met that his friend Surrey had
just presented him with it. Now, it co hap
pened that Iord Northampton, who had seen
this bird tho day previous, arrived at Lord
Surrey's Just as Will Homers had left, witb
tho intention of nsklug tho bird of Surrey
for n present to a lady friend. Orent was
his chagrin on llndlng tho bird gone. Sur
rey, howovcr, consoled him with saying that
ho know Somen would restore It if ho (Sur
rey) promised him two somo other day.
Awny went n messenger to tho princo of
wits, whom ho found in raptures with his
bird, aud to whom ho delivered his lord's
message. Great wns Will's surprise, but ho
wns not to bo bamboozled by oven tho
monarch himself. "Sirrah," said Will, "tell
your master that I nm much obliged for his
liberal offer of two for one, but that I prefer
ouo bird lu band to two lu tlio bush."
Antiquity or Cold.
Gold Is first mentioned in tho elovcnth verso
of tho second chapter of Gcuesis, 4001 years
beforo Christ, It Is mentioned oa ono of tho
elements of Alnnni's riches lu Genesis, thir
teenth chapter, necond verse, 1018 years b
foro Christ. Tho Egyptians used gold as
money at a very early but unknown jwrloil,
but tlrst in tho form of rings, which opened
mid could Ihj strung together. It Is probable
tli.it gold wns uwl ns monoy nt tho ttnu
Abraham bought tho Held of Mnchpclah,
though ho wiid for that la silver "current
with tho merchant," That was 187.1 yearn ic
foro Christ. This probably is increased by
the fact abovo dated that gold was reckoned
an n part of tho riches of Aliram. According
to Herodotus, tho Invention of the rolnngu
of gold belongs to Lydln, about 7o0 years be
fore ChrlLt. High authority says that gold
was Ilrs. coined in tho Island of iEglnn, and
other authorities i-aj tho Persians first coined
gold. And very high authority says tho
first col nngo of gold woa nt J.'lletus. Ilut tho
fact of the (Irst colnago of gold has uovcr
lieen aud probably uovcr will bo cvrtaiuly
ascertained.
The Harvest Moon.
Tho "harvest moon" Ii so called from tho
fact that lu tho early autumn days when
grain nud fruit nro being taken from tho

vening between the close of day and tho be
ginning of night. Tho moon litcaenilynnd
gives n brilliant light, by means of which tho
harvesters work until lato at night to secure

Jr vis' California Pear Cider.
Tills delicious summer beverage Is innde In California, from very ripe mellow
Ilartlett Pears. In the height of the ripening scaton many tons of pears become too
ripe for shipping or canning purposes, they can then he utnll7ed by pressing them into
cider. The fresh juice is boiled down two gallons into one, nnd is then strained through
pulverized char coal. This heating, condensing and straining completely detlroys fer
mcntntlon.nnd the elder ever afterwards remains sweet and good and Is u liiost healthy
nnd nutritious article for family use.
Knowing there arc many spurious ciders sold in tills market wc offer the abov
explanation vWth the eminent testimonial of Prof. J. II. Long. Very Respectfully,

THE O. M. JARVIS CO., (icntlcincm
I have made mndc a chcinlcnl examination of the tnmplc of Jnivis' Pear Cldci
submitted to me n few das ago, and would rcpoit these points among others noted.
'I lie liquid is non-alcoholic and lias n fpcclfic gravity of 10.65. The tolnl extrac
tive matter amounts to 10.25 per cent., containing only .025 per'ecntof free add. The
tests show this ncld to be malic acid as usually found in fruit juices. I find no other
add or foreign substance added for color or flavor.
I believe it, therefore, to consist simply of Ihe juice of the Pear ns represented.
Yours truly,
J. II. LONG, Analytical Chemist,
