matter. Whether one imports fresh seed
from another farm and district, or continues
to use homegrown potatoes, a selection OF
the healthiest tubers must be made. No crop
seed than potatoes, and this is all the more
comnenda6le on account OF the increasing
liability to disease.

A Valuable Gift.

The Chinese Minister has recently made
valuable gift to the Regents of Smith
sonian Institute. Ensconsed in a beauti-
full gold plush case is "Jade" ring about
10 inches in diameter and is inch in
thickness. 1t has hollow centre about
inches in diameter. The face of the
ring has ornamental spots and its back is
quite smooth 1t is pale pea hue though
it was originally of cream color
Upon it is a cream colored spot about
the size of l0-cent piece, which if con-
tnually rubbed with a piece of silk will
grow in size. This ring is known as the
'un-pek" jewel of the dynasty of Han,
who regned about $500 years ago. In
that dynasty the court officials when hav-
ing an audience with the Emperor held
this ring with both hands, thrusting their
fingers into the opening and guarding
against moving their hands while adj
dressing the throne. 1t was used as an
emblem of submission or respect for
their sovereign. 1t had been buried with
its owner and was unearthed from the
sepulchre recently and is considered very
valuable

wheels in the wheel pit, with a total of
1000 horse power. The building will be
of slate, with window caps and sills of
granite. Its capacity will be about 20

you, they were stupid drunk.
s'It wasn't till three weeks afterward
that l came to myself; and then l was in

The next day was Wednesday. Wednes-

Lima, she came to see me; and she sat by
my bedside, and she cried ms though her
heart would break. And then she told
me how it all happened; and how she
loved me; and howl must make haste to

were under engagement to do; and then
she cried fit to break her heart. She
looked p~rettier than ever, poor thingl
And every Wednesday she'd come and
try to cheer me up, and say how hard it
was that our wedding had to be put off.
She was a good girl, she was.

life, mind you, and as weak as a child.

But how was l to get my living as a
clown, when / was only a miserable Grip
Pile? It was I who broke off our engage
ment, sir; for it wouldn't have been fair
on Lima to have held her to her word.
People used to say that Lima had chucked
me over, and that she was a heartless
mink. But I did it, sir, because I hadn't
the heart to hold her to it, and any hon.
est mar would have done the same. They
were very good to me at the Bird, and
they gave me a check takers billet at IF

of 'em. sir, as If it had been my own.
And then the Bird was sold, as you
know; and that was how I lost my billet,
