STORING POTATOES,

Every method has been tried by farm
era to store and preserve their potatoes
through winter, and we may say until
potatoes come again. 1t is the most
valuable OF all vegetables, Though here
aud there we find person and a writer
who undert takes TO tell US OF It's unwhole-
someness. IL is universally consumed
in all civilized countries, as where it can
not be grown it is imported, which car
be done long distances without injury,
when ventilation is attended to.
In storing potatoes several methods
are adopted, yet they are ali practically y
the same, the object being to protect
them against freezing, whether buried
In pits or stored in cellars. The first
confederation is to keep them in perfect
darkness; the next is, the bins should
net be toe deep-not over three feet
to produce warmth and cause them to
sproat. When stored In the field,
straight trenches are dug, say twenty
feet in length and tour or five wide,
which are filed to The depth OF three feet
with potatoes, then we'll covered with
straw, on top Of which put eighteen OF
twenty inches of earth. In pit twenty
feet long there should be about three
gas escapes or ventilating openings,
which should be plugged vita straw aud
covered with beard set at angle to
turn the rain. Ii in cellars, barn Oh
otherwise, the bins should be covered
with rugs, old carpeting or straw.
Those intended to be kept for late spring
sales should be frequently examine Il
and all sprouts removed; for as soon as
y potato begins to spsout 1t loses its So

Her Ambition to see Her Father NUsllRSted
for the PresidencYs

Her Ambition to see Her Father NUslIRsted
for the Presidency:
Mrs. sprague always appreciated the
honors which attach to official station,
and, after her father was made the pre-.
siding officer of the Supreme Court, II
was as the daughteE OF the chief Jus stice,
rather than the wife Of a Senator, she
desired to be known. She rarely ap-
peared at evening parties except with
her father, whom she almost idolized,
and for whom her ambition was bound
less. She had never been quite the same
person since his death decided against
the hope, so long cherished, that she
would see him in the White House ell.
joying the highest office in the gilt of the
people, and that she would there reign
as the first lady In America"
One who knew the inside history OF
the Democratic nomination tor the
Presidency in 1868, and was constantly
with Chief Justice Chase and MRS.
Sprague through the weeks before Sey-
mour was nominated, mas told me oil
how earnestly Mrs. Sprague watched
the manipulations OF the party machine,
and now hopefully she counted on the
result. Her father, when the news was
told TO him Of Seymour's success (says
IL
said at once: "Have you seen Mrs.
Sprague? How does she bear it2"
His first thought was for her and her
disappointment. She felt the pos tpone-
ment of the qualification OF her desire
keenly, but bore the news like a stole.
Sne did not despair until four years
later OF eventual success. During the
months preceding May, 1872, she was
again as active worker as possible to
lady of refinement TO secure the Presi-
Dental nomination at Cincinnati by the
Liberal party. Oae Of the most beauti-
full of ali the recherche fetes over which
she presided in Washington was given
on an evening just before the delegates s
and members OF the press started TO the
Cincinnati Convention, and net enc per-
son in Washington, who could by any
possibility influence the convention,
was omitted Ill issuing the Invitations.
Prior TO that time Mrs. Sprague had
been so exclusive in her hospitality and
In arranging her visiting list that she
was by no means generally popular,
while no one refused her beauty and
graces admiration.
One Of her objects In giving the enter
talnment to which refer was to exhibit
her father in mis- improved health. His
frequent illness had been more than
once of sufficiently serious character
to cause HIM to be counted out as a pos
sibIe choice Tor the presidency OF any
party. He was much better at that
lme, and 1t was essential that the pub
lio should be made aware that he was
by no means hors de combat. He stood
at his daughters right hand to receive
the guests, and each on speaking to him
was told that he had walked in from
Edgewood, his country place, about two
miles out OF town. That was the last
large entertatament given by Mrs.
sprague in Washington. A year later
her father died, and in less than a year
thereafter her husband Jailed Ia bust.

Caution Caution! ALI persons are cautioned

tract, various preparations which are occa-
| sionally sold in the shops, by the measure, I'M
der the name of Witch Hazel, Witch Hazel
Extract, Hamamelis, Hamamelis Tlncture OF
Hamamelis Extract, etc, etc.
These are often put upon the community as
Ponds Extract, or the same as Pond's En-
tract.
They are not Ponds Extract, nor will they
answer in the place Of it. They do not possess
the same or as favorable curative properties;
and if the same in appearance, taste or smell,
are very much weaker, often largely diluted
with water or ALCOHOL and are much higher in
price than the genuine Pond's Extract.
Therefore, always call for and get Ponds
Extract put up in the bottles Of the proprie-
tors. These are always put up in glass, with
the direction, label, trade mark of the propri-
etors-the Ponds Extract Company every

IT was one Of the most sensible things
on record, and how q beautiful young
girl Of twenty-five and an heiress
should have done 1T, puzzles the judg-
ment. But it was in Russia, and Rus
sian laws, like poverty or politics,
make strange bed-fellows. 6he had an
immense fortune at her command, bu,
could rot enter into possession of 1t
until she was married. Her guardians
emily introduced to her class OF empty
headed men-titied, but impecunious,
ana, "a the general average, brainless.
The girl didn't want to buy any such
goods with q prospect Of having them
on her hands for life. So the sensible
heiress picked out an old pension er
from among the poor. She supported
and married him, and she thus acquired
possession OF an immense fortune. The
oetogenarian retired on a comfortable
allowance, and the young wife has
evaded-proSpectivsIy-a nice point OF
Russian law. and holds her fortune and
her wifehood for a younger husband.
