The potato was originally intro duced from South America to Virginia by Sir John Harvey in 1929, though it was unknown in some countries of England a hundred and fifty years later. In Pennsylvania, potatoes are mentioned very soon after the advent of the Quakers; they were not among New York products in 1895, but in 1775 we are told of their being grown in that province. Potatoes were served, perhaps, as an exotic rarity, at a Harvard installation dinner in 1707; but the plant was only brought in culture in New England at the arrival of the Presbyterian immigrants from Ireland in 171S. Five bushels were accounted large crop of potatoes for a Connecticut farmer; for it was held that, if a man ate them every day, he could not live beyond seven years. They are also indigenous to Arizona and New Mexico.

A Great AustrIan ColIectl

A Great Austrian Collection of Papyri.
The sitting and arrangement of the
papyrus collection bought by Archduke
Rainier, says a Vienna letter to the Lon
don Times, has led to further interesting
discoveries. OF the hieroglyphic, hieratic,
denote and Coptic papyri, about 90 date
from the pre-Christian period. Among
these are one nearly 5000 years old, in the
hieratic letter, containing the representa-
tion of a funeral, with a well-preserved
sketch Of the deceased, some hieroglyphic
legend, and demotic papyrus ON mathe-
MATES.
Much more numerous are the Coptic
documents-about 1000 in all-mostly
letters and legal documents Of the period
from the sixth to the tenth century of our
era. There are some important papyri
cOntaing translatiOns of the Bible in the
central Egyptian dialect, of which there
have hitherto been found but few speci-
mems, and Leaf of parchment from an
old octave edition of the book of Ruth, in
the Sahidi dialect.
Among the Greek papyri is a hitherto
unknown speech of Isocrates, one of the
finest specimens of AleXandrian CALI
graphy. Another fragment has been found
Of the book of Thucydides manuscript.
previously mentioned. Portions have
also been discovered Of the Had, and of
paraphrase of the Fourth Book. Then a
metanvia has been found, dating from the
beginning of the fourth century, being
thus one of the oldest Christian manu-
scripts. The collection contains many
we'll preserved documents in almost con-
tinuous series of the Roman and ByZan-
tine Emperors, beginning with Trajan
and ending with Heraclius.
There are also documents in the Iramie
and Semitic languages. The former are
written on papyrus, parchment, and
skins; and among them are two frag-
ments which it is believed viii furnish
the key to the Pehlewi language. Among
the Arab papyri, twenty-five documents
have been found with the original leaden
seals attached. They begin with a frag-
ment of the fifty-fOurth year ofthe Hegira.
Another is an official document, of the
ninetieth year of the Hegira; appointing a
revenue collector. Perhaps the nest
valuable part of the collection is 100
Arabian documents on cotton paper. of
the eighth century, which is about the
time of the invention of this material by
the Arabs, to the year 953. Many thou
sands Of manuscripts have still to be de-
cipheTed.

The Shah and His Harem.

Many people are wondering, says the
Pail Mall Gazette, what the Shah thinks
of Russia's advance to Sarakhs. The
Shah is probably not thinking about
Sarakhs at all. His troubles arise from
other sources. Twice or thrice every year
one of his eunuchs leaves the Imperial
Palace at Teheran for the far-famed WO-
men Bazaar at Herat. These agents carry
with them large sums of money in gold,
for the dealers in women allow no credit
on their beautiful goods. The last mission
of the imperial messenger was, however,
unsuccessful. He had scarcely crossed
the Afghan frontier when a band Of high
way robbers overlook him, robbed him of
every penny, and he has had to journey
back to Teheran with empty hands and
empty pockets, and without the convoy Of
delectable damsels with which the Shah
was expecting to replenish his harem.
Much more serious is this than Sarakhs-
at least for the Shah.

Scholarship and Vanity.

1t would fail us to repeat all the anec-
dotes that might be told of the vanity of
scholars. Richard Bentley, whom Me-
caulay calls the greatest scholar that has
appeared in Europe since the revival of
learning, always spoke, wrote and acted
as if he considered a great scholar the
greatest Of men. In the preface to his
edition of "HOrace" he described at some
length the characteristics of the ideal
critic, and pretty plainly indicates that
he regarded himself as that model indi-
Yidual. If, in scholarship, Samuel Parr
was inferior to Bentley his vanity was at
least equally colossal. shepherd" he
once said to one of his friends. ''the age
of great scholars is past. l am the
only one now remaining OF that race
of men," mo mans horse carries more
Latin than mme," he one day observed to
an acquaintance of mine with whom he
was out riding. In signal contrast to the
opinions these two worthless entertained
of themselves was the verdict which Por-
son, the greatest Greek scholar England
has seen, passed on himself. Being once
asked why he had produced so little origi-
nal matter, he replied: 81 doubtif / could
produce any original work which could
command the attention of posterity. |

The MarqUise de Charette, nee Antoi-
nette Polk, says the st. Louis Republican,
youngest brother Of Bishop LeOnidas
Polk. afterward Lieutenant General, and
called the soldier priest of the SoUth.'
Her early life was passed at her fathers
residence. AshwOOd Hall, in Maury coun-
~, Tenn, widely known as one of the
most princely homes in the Southern
States.
During the late war the family went
abroad. and from her fifteenth year her
education was received at Nevay. in
Switzerland. After her fathers death. at
that place, their residence for Some years
was in Rome. where Miss Polk became
noted for her beauty, wit and grace. and,
among other accomplishments, for superb
hOrsewOmanship.
She has tall and beautiful figure and
u classic face. Her eyes are large and
brown. and her hair falls in brown masses
to her feet. Her chief attraction, however,
lies in a peculiar charm of manner. In
Rome she became the chosen friend of the
Princess Marguerite Of Savoy, since
Queen Of Italy. A few years ago Miss
Polk married Gen. Charette, then Baron
and afterward the Marquis de Charette.
He Is called the christian Hero Of
France" and the "HerO Of Montana" as
he has fought so many Of the POpe's
battles against Garibaldi.
The marriage took place in Paris, and

OF the five persons (besides the royal
family hOnOred with invitations TO the
marriage of His Royal Highness the Duke
OF Edinburgh. the Marquis and Marquise
de Charette were among the number, and
the private car of the Russian Prince sent
for their conveyance.
A year and a half ago they visited Can
ada where the General was received with
the greatest possible enthusiasm, the pub,
lie receptions in both Montreal and Que
bee being grand Ovations, far surprising
the receptions accorded Her Highness
and the Marquis of LOrne. One college
IN Montreal contributed $4,000. The
Princess Louise also entertained them
privately.
From Canada they went to her old Ten
nessee home, where her beautiful charac-
ter is so well known and appreciated, for
there are few people of whom, if their pri-
vate lives were unrOlled, could be told so
many lovely and noble things as of this
lady, the Marquise Of Charette.

Inventive Genius Evolves an Appliance
for DespOndent Young Men.
At late hour last evening, says the
New York Sun of the 25th inst, a young
man left chair in a fashionable uptown
barber shop with his handkerchief to his
mouth.
''Cut him?" asked the next customer.
''No; he's got his mOustache in curl
ers."
s''Eh?'
"He's got a mOustache that naturally
drOOps. He wants the ends to curl up, so
we put couple of these on it."
The barber produced two bits of rubber
tubing an inch long and a quarter of an
inch thick. In one end was a hole with a
small rubber ring through 1t. In the
other end was a slit.
''We roll the wet mOustache around this
tube, and after taking one turn around
all with the ring, slip it into the slit. That
holds the hair in the curled position until
morning, when he takes off the curler.
The hair will stay in shape for a day or
two. If applied often enough il makes a
permanent curl. We charge % cents for
a pair Of curriers' and cents for applying
them-latest thing for moustaches.''

The Newport Tree on which Mismated
MatrOus Have Perched for Refuge.
The colony of unhappy wives at New
port is shocked, outraged. chagrined and
dismayed, says a New York letter to the
ArgOndut. l wrote some time ago about
the large number of women, including
Mrs. Oliver II. 2. Belmont and Mrs. Hen
~ Turnbull, who have been residing in
Newport for the past two years, intend
ing at the completion of their third year
to take out divorce from their husbands
under the Rhode Island laws. 1t has been
the law, ever since law has existed in
Rhode Island, to grant divorce to any
woman who has lived away from her hus-
band for three years in that State. There
has been no end Of family scandals
among the weather. people of the city
the past two years. The clubs have been
kept gOssiping about them continually.
Not a few of them have been solved by
the retirement of the wives to Newport,
where they have taken up residences and
organized a little set which cannot be
eQualed, as far as family history is con-
cerned, in any portion of the Union. Here
the grass widows have lived all the year
round, their ranks being constantly added
TO by unhappy wives from New York. As
the time advanced the colony increased,
until at present it numbers nearly two
score of ladies, the majority of whose
social connections are of the highest
possible sort and who are mainly attrac-
tive and handsome women.
Admittance into this circle is difficult
of attainment by a man. 1t is an ex-
tremely exclusive set. Clergymen are
eagerly welcomed, and the officers of the
naval station of West Point have also the
entree into the colony of unfortunate
more amusing lot of entertainers can not
be found than those who form this set at
Newport. BY superintendent majority
of the women would have come forward
freed from the shackles of matrimony.
Such, however, is not to be their fate, as
the laws of the State have just been
amended so that the misrepresentation
clause is a dead letter.

Mr.. J. r. Stewart, of Macon, Ga, a well
known and trustworthy gentleman, makes
the following statement: ''My son, who
was between three and four years old,
was all drawn up with rheumatism. His
bones were twisted, and he was all
doubled out of shape. He suffered in
tense pain, had lost his appetite, was
cross and fretful. He was reduced to a
mere skeleton, and had to be carried about
on pillow. AS these cases of Fheuma-

$50 FOR A CIGAR.
How Col. Ludlow Treated a Briber.

''That's cool fellow" said an uptown
manufacturer, pointing across Chestnut
street, where Col. Ludlow, the Chief of
the Water Department, was waiting for
car, says the Philadelphia Record of the
I'd instant. ''Let me tell you something
which happened few days ago to friend
OF mine, whose large establishment con-
sumes great deal of water. and who has
frequent faVors to ask of the Water De-
partment. He recently visited the Chiefs
office and found Col. Ludlow, as usual,
very polite. My friend, before preferring
all his requests, took $50 bank bill from
his pocket and passed il over to the Chief
who examined it curiously for a second
and then spread it upon the desk before
him. He did not utter word at the mo-
ment, but when his visitor was about to
go away said:

"EOh! that's to buy cigars for the boys ,

better than good cigar.

suavely, ito insist upon your trying one

Each gentleman took a cigar and bit
of the end. Then with careless gesture
Col. Ludlow rolled up the $50 bill into a
paper lighter, reached up to the gas, al
lowed it to become thoroughly ignited,
and slowly lit his own cigar. You know
that to light your own weed first is a good
test of poIiteness. 1t! comes from the
French, who very sagely reason that
whatever fumes or gases are generated in
lighting will be absorbed into the first
cigar. This done, the Colonel turned with

on the bill until it burned to the very fin
gers which held it. Colonel Ludlow
watched its last expiring spark as he idly
allowed the smoke of his cigar to escape
from between his lips. When the bank
note had been completely reduced to
ashes the Colonel turned to his visitor
and said carelessly: How do you like
your cigar? The gentleman admitted its
excellence and took his departure, at
tended to the door by the Chief, who with
the utmost courtesy shook him by the
hand, and then closed the door to resume
his work at his desk. My friend gets pur-

affair, and confided it to me simply to
warn me how to behave myself at the
