Where Did Potatoes Come From ?

Nobody knows precisely whore the
potato came from originally. II has
been found, apparently indigenous. in
many parts of the world. MI. Darwin.
for instance, found it wild in the Chonos
Archipelago. Sir W. j. Hooker saws
that it is common at Valparaiso, where
it grows ab1ndantly on the sandy hills
near the sea. In Peru and other parts
of South America it appears to he at
home and it is a noteworthy fact that
Mr.. Darwin should have noticed it both
in the humid forests of the Chonos
Archipelago and among the Central
Chilian mountains, where sometimes
rain does not fall for six months at a
stretch. It was to the colonists whom
Sir Walter Raleigh sent out in Eliza.
beth's reign that we are indebted for our
potatoes.
Herriot, who went cut with these col.
onists and who wrote an account of his
travels, makes what may, perhaps. be
regarded as the earliest mention of this
vegetable. Under the heading of
Roots he mentions what he calls the
"openawk." "These roots" he says,
"are round, some large as walnuts.
others much larger. They grow on
damp soils, many hanging together as i
fixed on ropes. They are good food,
either boiled or roasted"
At the beginning of the seventeenth
century this root was planted, as curl
ous exotic, in the gardens Of the nobil-
ity, but it was long ere it came into gen
eral use. Many held them to be poison.
ous, and it would seem not altogether
nnreasonably so, either. The potato Il
closely related to the Observation-Disclosures
and the mandrake, and from its stems
and leaves may be extracted verv
powerful narcotic. In England preju-
dice against it was for a long time yerv
strong, especially among the poor.

Some Curious Guns.

The museum Of old guns and other
small arms at the armory in Springfield,
Mass, is probably the fullest and most
curious of any in this country, except
the one at Washington. First in the list
of old guns is a Wheelock rifle, wound
up like clock, made by Gottstied Flem-
ing in 1920. On the lock plate is bat
tie scene between Turks with bows and
arrows and Europeans with swords.
Another is curious Albanian smooth
bore flint-lock, used even to-day by the
Turkish mountaineers and peasantry.
An old Arab fint-lock has a square piece
of ivory SO fitted to the butt of the stock
that the gun can be balanced in an up
right position in the Arabs tent. One,
a matchbox, made in the fourteenth
century, is the Oldest gun i'll this coun-
try. 1t is discharged by lighted tow or
fax on the hammer, drawn to the vent
bv hand.

Equal to the Emergency.

A London newspaper tells a curious
story of gentleman who proposed to
the lady who is now his wife at dinner
party. he had been lover for some
time, but never quite persuaded himself
up to the point Of popping the question.
During the eventful dinner he learned
from the person sitting next him that a
rival intended that evening to make an
attack upon his Dulcinea's heart. She
was sitting some distance from him at
the table, and the rival was at her side.
He was equal to the emergency, how
ever, for, tearing half leaf from his
note book, he wrote upon it: "Will you
be my wife? Write your answer, yes or
no, upon this paper, and return it to
me-"
Calling a waiter, the ingenious lover
sent the missive to "the lady in blue at
the end Of the table-be very careful. !"
The servant did as directed, but the lov-
er in his anxiety forgot to send his pen
Gil. The lady had presence of mind,
however, and-tucking the note into her
bosom-said to the waiter:

Waves Of Sand.

Among the many important facts that
were brought out by the United States
survey of the great lakes. and the Mis-
sissippi river, is the action of sand
waves in the Mississippi, at Helena,
which in water from thirteen to thirty
feet deep are moving down the river at
an average rate of eighteen feet day.
These sand waves have an average length,
counting from crest to crest, of about
$50 feet, an extreme length of about 500
feet, and an average height of about five
feet and an extreme height of eight feet
from valley to crest. The existence of
sand waves Of such large dimensions,
and moving with such velocity, does not
seem to have been observed before on
the Lower Mississippi.
Jamestown alert., 1880-12-14
Names OF Great Men.

A Montreal paper thinks Americans
lack respect toward their candidates for
the Presidency because they were often
spoken of simply as Garfield and Han
cock. It says that this lack Of title is
what the English accord only to crimi-
nails, prisoners or litigants The equals
and superiors of the English nobility,
however, not infrequently address them
by their titles only and without any in
dication of their rank-as Buckingham,
Beaconsfield, Argyle, etc. They them
selves generally affix their signatures in
this simplicity also. It does not imply
disrespect to speak of public man or a
public servant without title or any sup
erfuity Of address. Indeed, the greater
and the more respected the man, the
simpler becomes the name by which he
is designated. This holds true Of all
kinds Of publicity; in politics, literature,
and science. 1t is Bacon, Shakespeare,
Columbus, Washington, Jefferson, Jack
son, Webster, Clay, Lincoln, Grant,
Lee, Whittier, Longfellow, Humboldt,
Darwin, Dickens, Thackeray, Gladstone,
Disraeli, Hugo, Napoleon, hundred
times to once of these names with any
"handle. It is Byron score of times to
once Of Lord Byron, and Scott to Sir
Walter Scott. The more assured mans
position the less he needs to hang out his
signs. The distinguished lawyer, the
eminent physician, generally parades
small and obscure ''shingle." It
is the new man or young man
who needs the large gilt letters at
every corner and in every corraidor.
In Dickens and Thackeray's pictures
of kitchen life the buffers and footmen
always talk of "our house" and what
"we," referring to their employers, con-
template doing and they are exceeding
ly particular as to the style in which
they are to be addressed by each other.
The newly-emancipated slaves of the
South do each other the honor of put
ting a title to each others names. With
them it is always conscientiously and
punctiliously " Mr.. Johnsing,' or "Mr.
Thompson.
In the heat of partisan campaign, an
excited speaker or writer may occasion
ally violate propriety by attaching, in
stead of detaching, title to mans
name. Jimmy" Buchanan, "Abe"
Lincoln, Jimmy" Blaine" "Bill :"
English occasionally slip into speech
and editorial, but even these ofenses
against courtesy are rarer than formerly.
In respect to those men whose admirers
add nicknames to their names, it is le-
gitimate even if it be not in the best of
taste to call them by their popular
names. "Bob" Ingersoll, Ben But
ler, each" Chandler, " Harry Clay,
Andy" johnson, are the outgrowths
of popular whims, affection and famil-
larity which, though lacking reverence,
are not essentially disrespectful.-

What He Didn't Break.

Rev. Mr.. Genufux fell down stairs one
Sunday morning, with a flower vase in
one hand, pitcher of water in the other,
lamp globe under his arm, and china
saucer tucked in his coat pocket. He
was trying to carry all these things
down stairs, and he succeeded. But
when he got them to the bottom and his
anxious wife screamed from the head of
the stairs to know if he had broken any
thing, he took an account of stock and
calmly reported that "he had broken
everything but the Sabbath"
''The only thing" petulantly COM
mented his careful and economical wife,
"that we could afford to break"
