 the white and black peppers belong, (cayenne

 They stooped ihe pepper corns in water ut

Cayenne was first noticed on the coast of Guinea, 

 and has been generally used by the natives >.l 

 those climates in which it grows as a streuglhenci 

 for the stomach. It is un extraordinary fact, but 

 still true, that although savages may be unac- 

 quainted with the polite arts, they are generally 

 well informed upon I lie subject ol gastronomy, and 

 to suit, their sometimes peculiar lu.-ies, they gener- 

 ally discover all the edible good things which 

 their native soil affords. It cannot be denied (bat 

 hunger and the palate are great equalizers, uud 

 the stomach, much us we abhor gluttony, does 

 much for civilization ; in fuel, his stouuich and its 

 wauls distinguish man liorn too bintes, for, us Dr. 

 Kitchner correctly observed, "Man is the only 



The cayenne of commerce is the grain or seed of 

 the capsicum, ground and mixed with flour and 



then baked into little cakes iu an oven ; these are 



placed in jars for sale. The tree or plant is vet i 

 beautiful, and Conns a gieal ornament to n garden, 

 but it is very tender uud requires much care. It 

 is more pungent than either white or black pep- 

 pers, and is often adulterated with logwood and 

 mahogany, sawdust, and red loud ; this latter can, 

 however, be easily detected by placing n spoonful 

 carefully in a glass of water, when, should it con- 

 tain any red lead, it will, from its specific gravity, 

 quickly drop to the bottom, while the cayenne will 

 sink but slowly. A very pleasant drink may be 

 made for cold nights, and one that is healthy, too, 

 from pepper. Here is the recipe : — Place three or 

 four lumps of sugar, with half a loaspoouful of 

 pepper, in a tumbler, and fill up with hot water; 

 when the sugar is dissolved, drink. It is not only 

 pleasant to the palate, but warms the whole body 

 more e fleet unlly and quicker than any spirits. — 

 Those of our readers who try our recipe once, will 

 often, during the winter, when flic fire burns low, 

 aud they feci chilly, generally exclaim iu the lan-

ECHOES. 



Tiik car cannot distinguish one sound from 

 another, unless there is an interval of one- ui nth of 

 a seen ml between the at i ivul ol' the two sounds.— 

 Sounds must, therefore, succeed each oilier at an 

 interval of oue- ninth of a second in order to be hcai d 

 distinctly. Now, the velocity of sound being 

 eleven hundred and twenty feet a second, in one- 

 ninth of a second the sound would tiavel oue hun- 

 dred and twenty-four feet. 



Ilepeated echoes happen when two obstacles arc 

 placed opposite to one another, as parallel walls, 

 or example, which reflect the sound successively.
