Both parties in Maine acquiese in
the liquor law in the state because it
has the approval and support of nearly
all the people of both parties. There
are no large cities in Maine, and out
side of handful of Irish there are few
inhabitants of foreign birth. The law
was passed originally TO prevent the
crossroads groggery sale of fusel-oil
whisky in the state which ruined its
people, and that j. all it amounts 10
now. If the Germans had settled in
Maine in large numbers, as they have
done in Pennsylvania and Wisconsin,
and brought with them their national
custom of drinking beer and the ropu-
lar amuscmcnts with which beer
drinking is more or less associated. il
is probable that the law would either
have been repealed or materially
modified before now.

The White Elephant.

From the London Graphic we have the
best account of Mr.. Barnum's new pet
and his arrival at Liverpool. There is
no breed of white elephants they are
albinos-freakso of nature-and are rarely
born. They are believed to contain the
spirit of Buddah and the ghosts of their
kings and princes while undergoing
transformation. Therefore, when our
lively old Snowman first proposed to pur-
chase one, he was treated with naughty
contempt. Mr.. Gaylord then bought
one of a Siamese nobleman for one hun
dred thousand dollars, but the animal
was Intentionally poisoned when on the
point of being sdipped to Singapore. Mr..
Gaylord then offered 5000, ,000 which set
fortune hunters to work, and a sacred
white elephant was finally purchased of
King Sh ebar, of Burmah. Mr.. Barnum
now has royal documents attesting the
genuineness of the costly article.
The creature arrived in Liverpool on
the steamer Tenasserim, in January,
and was taken in a special car to the
geological gardens in Regents park,
where he is still holding his receptions.
He will go to Paris, Also for his owners
dare not trust him on the Atlantic before
June. He is seven feet six inches high,
and Of piebald color His face, ears,
the front of his trunk, his fore-feet, and
part of his breast, are of a pinkish flesh
color; the rest of his body is of light
ashen hue.
In his own country he was called
Toung Taloung, but the sailors shortened
this to ''Old Tongue" He is only fifteen
years old, however, and the New York
ers will probably shorten his name of
Buddha to Buddy" He now occnpies
Jumbos old apartment at the Zoo, and
there Palatka tourists will see him when
they cross the ocean nexts spring.
People were much disappointed in
his color. They expected beait looking
as Jumbo would after being tumbled
into a gigantic four-bin. "Why do they
call him white, asked a puzzled lady.
''Well, ma'am," answered an attendant,
"he's not very white, perhaps, but then,
you see, he's VERY sacred"

The history of the potato is quite mod
ern and gives rise to the question: How
did our great grandsires do without the
esculent? 1t is originally South Amer
lean plant, and was introduced in Vir-
ginia in 1929, but not generally known
in England until century or more later.
In Pennsylvania potatoes became popu-
lar about 1885, the followers of Penn be-
ing good hvers, but the new Workers
were slower in introducing them. In
1775, as we are told, 1000 acres were
grown on a sixteen-acre patch in New
YOrk-rather large potato story, even
for virgin soil. They were deemed an
exotic rarity at a Harvard University
dinner in 1717, and not brought into cuI-
ture in New England till 1918. In Con-
necticut it was held that if a man ate
potatoes every day the habit would kill
him in seven years-just as some of our
Southern farmers now contend that if
the soil is plowed more than three inches
deep it will ruin the ground, land it
won't fetch anything" The world
