Afghan and Bloch.


In all respects. particularly from a
governing aspect. the Bloch is infinite
" to be preferred 10 the Afghan.
Though physically inferior in bulk and
weight of body. he is the Afghan 5
equal in courage. and his superior in
endurance and intelligence. One spe-
.:ially good trait in his character is that
he never sulks or bears malice long,
whereas the Afghan does both. Here
are illustrations in point. l never re-

The Potato Scarcity.

Notwithstanding the fact that there is
a promise of an excellent potato crop
this year all over the country the prices
Of potatoes are higher now than they
have been for years. During the past
week there was an advance of nearly
one hundred per cent. over the prices
asked the week before, and potatoes
that brought four dollars barrel at
wholesale now sell for seven dollars, and
even more. The fact that large quanti-
ties of potatoes are now brought to New
York from Long Island does not seem in
any way to affect the price. The incon-
sistency between the receipts of potatoes
from all points and the prices they bring
has given rise to the suspicion that there
is a strong speculative interest in pota-
toes that has succeeded in creating =
corner The suspicion has not been di-
minished by rumor to the effect that
thousands of dollars worth Of potatoes
have been thrown into the North and
East Rivers by interested persons. Mr..
John Sutherland. among others, is
strongly inclined to give credence to
this rumor, and even goes so far Is to
say he knows it TO be true, and Mr..
Sutherland is not apt to speak without
book. Dock Commissioner Nanderpoel.
when asked about the dumping of pota-
toes in the river and bay. said that such
a thing could scarcely be done without
the Dock Department knowledge of
the fact; and the Commissioners had not
been notified that potatoes had been
thrown into the waters of the harbor.
He believed. therefore, the rumOr was
without foundation. But he could give
no other reason for his belief.
Many produce-dealers We're visited by
the reporter None of them were in
clined to admit that there was any truth
in the report that potatoes had been
wilfully DESTROYED for the sake of ere
ating a corner in the market. They
said that it would he next to impossible

than II now is. Last seasons drought
was especially severe upon food staples.

stroy the worms before they reach |
destructive size, and before they
appear on the upper surface of the
leaves. Planters must be urged
to watch carefully the under sur
faces of the foliage throughout the
cultiyating season. The very
young worms are less easily seen
than the small spots of light color
made by their gnawing on little
patches from the lower surface of
the leaves. As soon as, and wher-
ever the young ones have started,
apply the poison Immediately be-
meath the foliage. The plowman,
or weed-chopper,n should be
taught how to see the young
worms, and be carefully trained to
find them. At the same time he
should have, hanging from his
shoulder or plow, a light bellows
atomizer charged with poison
ready for use.
1t must always be remembered
that the worms are at work now
N certain plants in certain fields,
from March until winter; that the
killing of one early insect may pre-
vent thousands of future progeny
and save hundreds of dollars
The idea of first Importance is
that the poison be applied to thu

the young worms start and grow
until large enough to eat througl

The Queens StinsIness.

The chief grievances against the
Queen, however, are her seclusion
and her stinginess. Other mon
archs keep up a succession of state
pageantiies which help trade in
countless ways. This the Queen
has never done since her widow
hood, and, what is worse, does not
contribute toward the expenses of
the Prince of Wales, whois oblig-
cd to entertain in her stead. This
is not because Victoria hasn't the
means. She is the richest and
best.paid sovereign in Europe.
She draws for her expenses never
less than an even s2,0O0,OO0 ayear.
This is granted by Parliament.
Besides this, she is a great propri-
etor, drawing revenues from her
estates that equal the sums paid
the monarchs of continental king
doms. Nor does her wealth end
here. Under the laws the fortunes
of intestates or illegitimates, and
in some instances, aliens, revert
to the crown. The Queen has, dur
ing her reign, accumulated more
than a million by these sources
alone. In 1850 the Queen inherited,
direct, q million and half from a
miser named Nield. Her annual
gains are further ,welled by the
revenues of the duchy of Lancas'
ter and royalty on certain ancient
royal grants in India. Add to
these the fruits of Prince Alberts
lucky investments. which were
made in the heart Of the mos'
, affluent part of the London of to
day, and it will be seen that Veto

Washington, July s.-The Miss
