Silence of Scripture.

The Bible comedies nothing to cur
riosity. AS revelation of saving
truth, it'll complete /; as the guide. de-
fense and comfort of the confiding
soul. it is slayish and tender in its
counsels, but it repels all merely spec
ulative andidle inquiries. Our Lord
did not reply as to what proportion
would "be sved," but warned the
inquirer to save his own imperiled
soul. To theInquiry as to whether
the beloved disciple should taste
death, he said to Peter, "What is
that to thee? Follow thou me!' st.
Paul's thorn in the flesh has produc-
ed tons of books, but the question is
left as dark as ever. We vainly ask
whether our Lord had any brethren.
or whether joseph died before he
commenced his ministry. The flight
to Egypt. the visit of the Magi. the
temptation in the wilderness, eyer
suggest questions which we cannot
answer. The subsequent history of
the resurrected Lazarus, and of the
saints that came forth after the cruci-
fixion, is denied us. Our Lord ap-
pears few times between his resur-
rection and ascension, but under such
conditions, as leave the advocates of
the natural or spiritual form of his
person, about equal tenure. The
world of books that "should have
been written" of him, excite our cur
iosity, as we attempt to study his
early life in the Apocryphal gospels.
The authorship of the epistle to the
Hebrews is perpetual enigma, and
we would give any price to know
whether Paul went to England. or
just when and how he died. If st.
Peter ever saw Rome, the Scriptures
are strangely reticent about it. and
Professionalism can find no possible
ground for accepting the theory. We
are thus perpetually baffled in our
efforts to push our inquiries beyond
certain line. Nor need we COM
plain of this. To have given US the
solution of these inquiries, would
have started as many more. till all
history and infinity itself would have
been required to pacify us. Yet the
penitent soul is fully and tenderly
counseled. those that hunger and
thirst after righteousness are satisfied.
and faith and hC pc may see glorious
things in the future.

The Irish Potato.

A Kansas farmer, in a carefully
prepared communication to the Gar
dener's Monthly on the history of the
Irish potato, cites all the authorities
which seems to bear on the question.
The "Irish potato" was unknown to
the inhabitants of the Eastern Cont
nent till after the discovery of Amer
lea by Columbus. The potato known
to the ancients and the one spoken of
by Shakespeare and other English
writers was not so-called Irish potato,
but rather sweet potato. The early
history of the former is involved in
considerable obscurity, as the refer

ences to it by the historians of these
times are quite meagre and some.
what contradictory. A careful COLA
ton and sitting of the various refer
ences to the subject seem to justify
the following statement:
The first reference we find to the
potato in connection with European
history Is related to the first voyage
OF Columbus. When on the Island
OF Cuba, some of his men visited the
interior of that island, and there dis.
covered maize and root that was
used for food, and which was doubt.
less the potato. On visiting the Con.
tinent of South America, European
adyenturers and travellers found the
potato growing both in the forests
and in cultivation. The wild potato
was found growing In the Andean
forests from New Grenada on the
north to Buenos Avres on the South.
1t is now known to be abundant as
far north as New Mexico in the Uni
ted States. where it is common and
Important article of diet with the In
dians of the region. 1t seems, there
fore, that the native habitat of the
potato is all along the Andes and the
table land bordering the Pacific, and
extending as far north as New Mex
leo.
The first European explorers in
America found it not only growing
wild, but also In cultivation as an
article of food. How long it has been
in use it would be difficult to say, but
1t was then vastly improved from
the bitter and unpalatable wild varie-
ties.
The precise time of its introduction
into Europe is not certain. It was
cultivated in Spain as early as 1850,
and from thence spread to other ma
tions adjoining. AS communication
between Europe and America in
creased 1t was doubtless introduced
at various times.
The tradition which has long been
current of its introduction into Eng
land from Virginia by Sir Walter
Raleigh seems not to be sustained by
the facts. The potato Is not indigen-
Gus to Virginia, nor is there any evil
dence that it was in cultivation there
at that time.

Why Is it so many suffer from rheu-
matism, aches, pains. kidney diseases,
liver complaints, heart affections,
etc. ; 1t is simply because they will
not come and be healed. I'll disease
begin from a want of iron in the
blood. This want of iron makes the

telling you that fashionable life in a
great city is a rough one on your

mental excitement will leave you by

which drew lovers around you in

never pass for those rich and glossy
locks. Parker's Hair Balsam will

store its natural color and softness.

extreme care, and while he did small pro-

ease He then closed with the balls still in
