THE HARD WORK IT TOOK TO MAKE THE
POTATO AN EDIBLE IN FRANCE.

About the year 1880 the potato was
carried from Peru into Spain, and from
Spain to the gardens of Italy, Germany,
and Flanders. In 1888, Gaspard
Baulim succeeded in effecting its intro
duction to certain parts of the environs
OF Lyons and the mountains OF the
vosges.
Philosophers, however, said it must
be injurious, because it was sort OF
nightshade, and the population had a
notion that its use gave rise to scurvy.
In this state of bare liberation the
potato remained in France until the
year 1888, when the naturalist Parmen-
tier commenced a series of potato ban
quets to his friends. Potatoes, nothing
but potatoes, on these occasions, ap-
peared before the guests. All the
genius, however, of French cookery was
invoked to impart to them agreeable
forms and savory tastes.
This was the naturalist's first step.
His second was still more extraordinary.
Having planted considerable breadth
OF potatoes at Montreuil, near Paris, he
gained an audience of the unfortunate
Louis XVI, in the course of which he
inspired his majesty with ideas of the
value of the potato.
"But how are we to make people eat
what they are prejudiced against p III
quired the king.
'Sire, if your majesty will graciously
afford mo little aid, that prejudice
shall be removed" replied Parmentier.
"To overcome prejudice is difficult
matter; but how can [ aid you, Mr..
Parmentier ?"
"If your majesty will graciously
order that soldier shall mount guard
in my potato field at Montreuil, potatoes
shall be all the fashion in less than six
months"
The king laughed, and granted Par
mentier's request. Thenceforward q
military guard might be seen prom enad-
ing with measured step the naturalist's
potato field. How precious must that
blue lowered plant be thought the
lookers-on. No moro fear of leprosy-
no more dread of poisoning. The
highest people in France were proud t.
eat potatoes. In 1885 the harves
failed, the corn crop scarcely amounting
to one-half the usual yield. TheI
popular indifference with respect t.
potato culture completely disappeared
and the rapidity with which its propa
cation was conducted may be estimated
by the fact that in the year 1898, 1900
acres of land were under potato cul
ture il France. In 1915 there wert
about 673, 100 acres thus devoted.

! instead
preaching a moral lesson, or comment
ing on the enormity of his offense, be-
gan to ask practical questions, "You
must have change of air and scene. The
strain upon your mind has been too
much for you. You will set better if
you will take my advice. Despair is
the souls worst enemy, and if I have
come between you and it, thank God
for it. Ny life, in general way, is
now useless" Thus the philanthropist
comforted the bereaved ones. A dis.
cussion about seaside places followed,
and it was ultimately decided that this
unfortunate man should be removed to
a town on the coast, where he might
possibly benefit by the tonic influence
of sea air. A few hours after the inter-
view, the now happy couple received a
check for sufficient to redeem some of
their clothing and to pay all preliminary
expenses.

A Desperate.

Among the convicts in the Texas
penitentiary is John Wesley Hardin,
who was formerly the most dreaded
desperate in De Witt County. He is
said to have killed twenty-one men.
The whole community trembled before
him. Nobody attempted to interfere
with him. The officers of the law looked
the other way when he passed. This
was largely owing to the fact that two
families, tho Suttons and Taylors,
carried on terrible warfare, in which
large part Of the population took part
on one side or the other. 1t was g ven
delta that cost many lives. But the
law got Wesley Hardin into its clutches
at last, most of the Taylors and Suttons
were killed off, and De Witt County is
to-day one Of the most orderly in the
State.
