The Origin of the Potato.

The potato probably originated in South
America and within the torrid zone. Its
class is of the nightshade family. The com
mon name that We give it. potato" is sup
posed to be corruption of ''battsss" "papas'
or '.batatas.'' A celebrated writer in 1853
says; ut was found growing naturally when
America was discovered by Columbus. How
ever, this does not seem to agree with histo-
ry. and it is quite certain that the potato was
cultivated in South America long before this
but was not known to them at the time. Sir
Walter Raleigh, it is said. introduced the po-
tato into Europe about the year 1889 and
into Ireland in 1910, and it was raised as n
field crop in Scotland as early as 1928
1t is stated that it was cultivated in the
gardens Of the nobility of England as early
as 1913 where the price was stated as high
as a shilling per pound, consequently their
use could not be afforded by the poorer
classes of the people in those days. C. +.
Goodrich who is considered authority, says
of the potato: 1T is found in the state OF
nature growing on the sides of the Andes and
also in the adjacent valleys. At the base OF
the mountains are found the tamarind, yam
and banana; higher up are the melon. corn
tomato snd pepper and above this is the belt
where the potato thrives vigorously, the
climate being equable and the tuber not ex
posed to the frost.

A WOman's Nerve.
How A MINNESOTA WIFE ATTACKED AND
VANouIsHEp BURGLAR.

Early on Tuesday morning Mrs David
Conhaim was aroused from sleep by . bur-
glars stsalthy step. She could hear the bur-
glar moving along on his hands and knees
from the dining room to the bed room. and
at each step something struck the floor which
she believed to be either billy or revolver.
But in the meantime the burglar had taken
all her husbands clothing which had been
left on 4 chair, including gold watch and
chain and S60 in cash, and was stealthily
making his way back toward the dining room
door which opens into yard fronting
Eleventh street
Mrs Conhaim concluded that the time for
action had arrived. She left her bed, walked
to bureau in one corner of the room where
in loaded revolver was kept, and in doing
so must have passed within few feet Of the
crouching burglar. After gaining possession
of the revolver, she entered the dining room
Just as the burglar had passed out of the
porch. where he was found standing on the
step with most of the stolen clothing under
one arm and the vest held in his right hand.
This brought them within about three feet of
each other. The brave lady covered the thief
with the weapon and exclaimed:
drop the clothes OF | will fire."
The response came in the shape Of blow
over the head and face with the vest in the
burglars hand, he evidently intending to
either blind her or knock her down with the
weight of the heavy gold watch in the pocket.
Luckily. however, the watch flew out Of the
pocket and, Ms Mrs. Conhaim threw her hand
up TO ward off the blow, the chain struck be-
tween her fingers close to the watch. In
stanty she closed her hand over the time
piece, gave a jerk backward which broke the
chain, whereupon the burglar, with fierce
OATH threw the vest at her face, unconscious
of the fact that the sum Of $50 in currency
had been left undisturbed in one of the pock-
cts.
The burglar then started toward Eleventh
street, Mrs. Conhaim firing two shots At him,
without effect probably, and following him as
closely as possible. When he reached the
sidewalk on the latter street he stopped an
instant. threw up both hands and dropped all
the clothing on the sidewalk, Mrs. Contain
picking them up and carrying every garment
back to the house.-S. Paul Pioneer.

Judging by the advertisements of breed
ers, it would seem that black is to be the
prevailing color of the coming hog. A
writer in the National Live Stock Journal
claims that of all the advertisers of breed
ing hogs not over seven per cent sell any
thing but black colors, and that at the
several State exhibitions held last fall, in
Kansas and Missouri. not over seven per
cent of the hogs were white. nor was the
proportion of white greater at the great
stock yards where hogs are shipped for
sale. He claims that white hogs are more
subject to skin diseases, particularly
mango, and that the skin blisters much
worse under the influence of the hot sun.
The difference is quite marked where hogs
are spotted. the dark spots remaining
smooth, clean and glossy. while the white
portions are rough and sore; yet the
black hog has as thin hide asythe white.

Wesley and a Pretty Girls Hand.

Although Wesley, like the apostles, found
that his preaching did not greatly affect the
mighty or the noble still he numbered some
families of good position among his follow
ers. 1t was at the house of one of these that
tins incident took place. Wesley had been
preaching. and daughter of a neighboring
gentleman, a girl remarkable for her beauty,
had been profoundly impressed by his exhor-
tations. After the sermon Wesley was in
vited to this gentleman's house to luncheon,
and with himself one of his preachers was
entertained. This preacher, like many of
the class at that time, was q man of plain
manners, and not conscious of the restraints
of good society. The fair young Methodist
sat beside him at the table, and he noticed
that she wore n number of rings. During a
pause in the meal the preacher took hold of
the young lady's hand, and raising it in the
air, called Wesley's attention to the sparkling
jewels.
What do you think Of this, sir, for
Methodist's haDd?"
The girl turned crimson.
For Wesley, with his known and expressed
aversion to fnery, the question was a pecu-
liarly awkward one; but the aged evangelist
showed tact which Chesterfield might have
envied. He looked up with a quiet benevo-
lent smile, and simply said:
"The hand is very beautiful"
The blushing beauty had expected some-
thing far different from q reproOf wrapped
up with such felicity in a compliment. She
had the good sense to saw nothing; but when,
a few hours later, she appeared in Wesley's
presence, the .'beautiful hand" was stripped
of every ornamt mt except those which nature
had glven.-Fr,m London Society.

with little grain, three tons are none to
much for northern winter. But with q

and bright straw. he will be better kept at

what we lose in numbers We make up in

have tho continual buzz of four large
sawmills, together with the racket of a

cauiker's hammer and the arrival and
departure of the cars and steamers
make the city sound extremely metro
politan. Our appearance is our win

eler beautiful city by the sea; rising
