HIN POfatOeS RIM Out.

A New York f,Imer says some one asks
why it is that potatoes so soon run out
There are two good reasons. There are
but few potatoes in Il hill that are fit for
seed Some are overgrown, coarse, rank,
and will mol transmit the original quality
Others arr undergrown, aud not full
developed seed. A potato of medium
size. perfect in all its parts. with u change
of ground, will produce its like, ad inf
nilum.
One other reason. cutting potatoes be-
tween stem aud seed end continually. is
wrong. 1t requires the stem and seed end
to make perfect seed. Ii cut. cut length
wise. Single eyes will run out any potato.
There is no other seed that will bear mu-
tilation like the potato; the Only wonder
is that it does not run out completely -

An transferable argument.

4 Materialstic lecturer and city mis-
sionary met The other day in England to
discuss before an audience the question
Of responsibility. Science" said the
philosopher. ''has proved beyond doubt
that Mt the end of few years not par
tice in my body or brain remains; every
atom has passed away and the new matter
forms new man, who canno. DO held
accountable for the conduct of another"
The audience seemed enchanted.
Then arose the city missionary and
said: Ladies and gentlemen, it is a
matter OF regret to me that have to en-
gage in discussion with u man OF ques-
tionablc character. with one in fact. who
is living vita woman to whom he is not
married"
Up rose. in wrath, again tho marteria-
list: 'Sir, this is shameful, and | repu.
eiate your insolent attack on my char
acter. | DEFY you 10 substantiate your
charge. | was married TO my wife twenty
years ago, and we have lived happily TO
gether every since. This is mere
attempt ut evading the force OF my
argument"
"On the contary," replied the city mis-
sionary, Il reaflirm my charge. You
were never married to the person with
whom you are living. Twenty years ago
two other people may have gone to church
bearing your names, but there is not one
atom in your bodies remaining OF those
which were then married. 1t follows
inevitably that you are living in concub-
image unless you will admit that you are
the same man who was married twenty
years since"
The philosopher was compelled, amid
great cheering, to allow that. somehow
or other. credit and discreuit for past
actions must be granted even by Materi.

tolerably sure that when people seem TO

is owing TO the fact that they conduct all
their enterprises in the way the Dutch
