HES A HHIcK


Very few of the thousands who use
The above slang term know lis origin
or It's primitive signi6cance-accord-
ing TO which il is grind thing 70 say
OF man ale il brick" The word
used in it's original intent implies all
that Is brave, patriotic and loyal. Plu-
tarch in his "l.ife OF Agesilaus, King
OF Sparta, gives us the meaning of the
quaint familiar expression.
On certain occasion an embassador
from Eisirus, on diplomatic mission,
was shown by the king over his capital
The ambassador knew that, though
nominally only King Of Sparta, he was
ruler Of Greece-and he had looked to
see massive walls rearing aloft their
embattled towers for the defence OF the
city, but he found nothing of the
kind. He marvelIed much at this and
spoke OF it to the king. Sire, he sail,
| have visited most Of the principal
towns and Iind no walls reared for de-
fence. Why is thisl
Indeed, Sir Ambassador, replied
Agesilaas, thou canst not have looked
carefully. Come with me tomorrow
morning and i will ,how on the walls
Of Sparta.
Accordingly, the next morning, the
king led his guest out upon the plain
where his army WAS drawn up in full
array, and pointing proudly to the pat
triot host, he said, there thou beholdes
the walls of Sparta-ten thousand mer
and every man a brick.

A boy on tarm in Kentucky, one
day last Summer, fell TO the ground
from exhaustion three times while
carrying an armful of wood from the
yard into the kitchen; and then he
jumped over tue front fence, ran two
miles and half down the road 10
a travelling circus, fought nearly an
hour with three different nests of
bumble-bces, went in swimming four
times, ran down u rabbit and treed two
coons, made eleven whistles, two bows,
and six pop-gnns, climbed a tree one
hundred and eighty feet high to get a
crows nest, lost one suspender, tore
out the whole after-guard of his
trowsers, killed snake four feet long,
went fishing, set fire to u pile of cord
wood, run plum thorn through his
hand, had fight with the boy on the
next farm, was chased by dog, and

that large and select assortment o.
new stone-bruises ON both feet gave hin
an unsuppOrtable agony whenever hs
tried to walk, just as it was time to g

While an Js. carat watch chain

Slowly climbs the iron stairs;
And at every labored footsteps
Softly to himself he swears.

Measuring Building Materials.


The following figures are worth re-
membering, as they will save great
deal of calculation and give approxi-
mately accurate results with minimum
of labor. A cord of stone, three bush
els of lime and a cubic yard of sand will
lay one hundred cubt yards of WALL
Five courses of brick will lay one foot
in height on chimney. Nine bricks in
a course will make a fue eight inches
wide and twenty inches long, and eight
inches wide and sixteen inches long
Eight bushels of good lime sixteen
bushels of sand and one bushel of hair
will make enough mortar to plaster one
hundred square yards. One-fifth more
siding and flooring is needed than the
number of square feet of surface to he
covered because of the lap in the siding
and matching of the floors. One thous-
and laths will cover seventy yards of
surface, and eleven pound of lath nails
will nail them on. One thousand shin
giles laid four inches to the weather will
cover over one hundred square feet of
surface, and five pounds of shingle nails
Will fasten them on.

Babies Need Water.

An old physician relates his expe.
rience with sick child, to which he
was called. 1t was crying and strug-
Cling, and the mother in her reply to
query said shecould not remember when
she had given it any water-that she
seldom did so, and did not know that it
needed any. The doctor called for cold
water, gave the infant few tablespoon
fuls, and it was relieved of all its trouble
stopped crying and sank peacefully to
sleepin its mothers arms. Let this be a
reminder to all mothers and nurses. In
fants who nurse at the breast may often
suffer as much from the want of water
as adults who eat more solid food. Oft
en- when child cries it is only thirst
which causes it.

HOUSE, FARM AND GARDEN.
The History of the Potato.

The potato has curious history. II
isa native of the elevated valleys Of the
Andes In Peru and Chilli, and is found
as far north as Mexico. 1t was taken to
Spain soon after the discovery of the
American continent, aud was cultivated
in gardens as botonlcal curiosity.
The tubers being small and not edible in
its wild state, it attracted no attention.
In 1886, Sir Walter Raleigh introduced
1t into England, and is credited with
bringing it from Virginia; but of this
there Is no evidence. Its cultivation in
the cool, moist summers of Ireland soon
developed large tubers, which were found
to consist chiefly of starch. A success
ful experiment was made ia the use of
the tuber as food, but this was met and
combated by a number of learned men,
and several works were written and
published to prove its poisonous eharac-
ter. 1t belongs to the great Nightshade
family (Soiondco), all of which are poi.
sonous. This Indictment was true, but
they had not yet learned that poison
VN9 PiNhb iho1 btOl " ilulb vi u lWDtI nON
only harmless but very nutritious. This
prejudice prevented the use of the toma-
to till within the las DO years. The truth
Is, both these vegetables being of Night
shade family, are poisonous in stem,
leaf and flower, but this property does not
extend to the tuber of the one nor the
fruit of the other. While on this sub
ject, 1t is proper to say that solanine-
the poisonous principle of th is family,is
sometimes developed in the potato, even
to a dangerous extent. If the tubers,
while growing, are uncovered, so as to
expose them to direct sunshine, they
will assume green appearance and be-
come poisonous from the presence of
solanine. The same effect in minor
degree, is produced in the sprouting of
potatoes. If these are used in cooking
they should be sliced and placed in cold
water an hour or two before being cook
ed. Otherwise sprouted potatoes are
unwhoesome food.
The potato is tropical plant, but its
tuber- producing quality is northern

quality ii is improved by the cool sum.
mer of the north, and is successfully
cultivated to the Arctic circle, and with
q decided improvement in the quality of
the crop and generally ia its yield. The
crop is sometimes injured by the intense
heat of July and August, even at the
fortieth degree of latitude. The tenden-
cy of the tuber to degenerate in warm
climates will suggest the precauton of
occasionally renewing the crop by plant
ing northern potatoes.
