THE NEW SCHOOL LAW.

One change in the school law, just pass
ed by the legislature. demands the i'm
mediate attention of the people in nearly
all the small districts in the State. OF
the 2,270 districts, ,175 maintain schools
of only "A weeks in the year. The sta
tistics do not show the months in which
these small schools are taught, but as far
as know, or can learn, a great majority
are in the fall and spring. The new law
shortens the school year three months,
and the present school year will end on
the last day of next March, instead of the
last day of next June. But no change
has been made in the method of dividing
the public money, or the conditions on
which district can receive it, except the
time when it is to be divided.
BY Section 236 of the Act of 1883, ''No
public money shall be distributed to a
school district unless such district has
supported school "A weeks during the
school year" The result of recent legis-
laton is, that the public money will be
divided between the third and sixth days
of next April, and that no district will be
entitled to any that has not supported a
school n weeks between the first day of
last July and the first day of next April.
Again, the same is true as to the five per
cent school tax. The money derived
from the State tax is 70 be divided among
the towns, sin proportion to the number
of legal schools sustained the preceding
school year" The term legal school
means a school of n weeks. In the eX-
listing circumstances, it is clearly the duty
of every school officer to exert himself to
the utmost to provide the required num-
Der of weeks of school in each district

The Most Popular Man in France.

By his manners and ways of life
Franklin became the most popular man
in France. SO that when he gained his
presentation to the king his future was
assured. AS he passed through the streets
of Paris he was followed by adIniring
eyes and cheered loudly by enthusiastic
voices. A contemporary writes: "A
friend of mine paid something for place
at two pair of stairs window TO see him
pass by in his coach, but the crowd was
SO great that he could but barely say he
saw him." He was the Frenchman's en-
bodiment of the ideal citizen, repub-
lican, philosopher and friend He COM
pletely captivated and captured the PEG
pie of France, whom he perfectly under
stood, and he well knew that popular
man becomes soon more powerful than
power itself" Condorcet said: 1T was
an honor to have seen him. People re-
peated what they had heard him say,
Every fete which he consented to re-
ceive, every house where he consented to
go, spread in society new admirers, who
became so many partisans of the Amer
lean Revolution.

The brave that are no more;

1t was in August, 1882. that the great

lay off the harbor of Portsmouth. Eng

full complement of 900 officers and men
on board. A large number of friends,
wives and daughters of the sailors We're
also on board, these visitors being esti-
mated AT fully 300 or 400. Just as they
were reSdy to sail slight leak was dis
covereain the stern and delay was
made. The ship was "hove down" SO
that the carpenters could reach the leak.
So slightly was her balance disturbed
that no one left the ship, and her COM
mander, Admiral Kempenfeldt, was in
his cabin. Suddenly squall struck the
ship; she was thrown over on her side,
the port holes admitted the sea, and al
most instantly the huge vessel sank.
The majority of those on board were in
the cabins or between the decks and
could not escape. More than 1000 were
drowned, among whom was Admiral
Kempenfeldt. Advertiser.

There is neither starch nor sugar,

Stachys affinis of tuberifera is an agree
able tasting vegetable when boiled in
salt water and served with butter and
parsley sauce Some people like them
seethed in oil, but that is merely mat
ter of taste. Prepared like 'pommes de
terre frites' potatoes cut in small slices
and fried in butter) they are claimed to
be delicious dish. The taste is at first
like that of sweet potato, but one will
soon feel very fine piquant taste. They
do not need to be peeled, but are only
washed clean in water, which is another
blessing to the housekeeper. They are
kept in the ground as late as possible,
and preserved packed in sand in the
cellar during the winter months.
Exposed to the air they will shrink
and lose their nice white mother-of-
pearl like color The plant is winter
hardy, and thrives in any soil. Frost
does not hurt them. and to have them
always fresh they are left in the ground
and dug as wanted. In our climate it is
best to keep them in ditch or in sand
in the cellar w. Perring, inspector of
the Royal Botanical garden in Berlin,
informs me that the production is very
large, and that there are many enthusi-
asts in favor of the new plant in that
city, which prophesies the plant Il great
future The expectations of high prices
and large yields will induce a good many
farmers to make trial with the new
plant st. Paul Globe.

THE POTATOES SUCCESSOR.

A New Vegetable That Northwestern
Farmers Are Going to Cultivate.
Albert Meyer, of Saltwater, Mimi,
chemist, during conversation on the
potato crop and the good price to farm
ers, gave an interesting talk of a new
tuberiferous plant that he thought would
be introduced in Minnesota and become
as much of staple as the potato.
Twill it flourish in this soil and eli
mater
Undoubtedly will tell you about
it, A few years ago a scientist discov-
cred in Japan plant resembling the po-
tato, and sent samples off to Berlin and
Paris to be experimental on. These ex-
periments have been favorable successes,
and the new potato has been extensively
introduced in Berlin and Paris. especial
ly in hotels and restaurants. 4 number
of farmers i'll our vicinity, with whom l
conversed on the subject. are willing to
experiment on the plant net season.
The Royal Prussan SOC. " of Berlin
has taken pains to make experiments
with the plant The scientific name of
this plant is 'Stachys tuberifera,' but as
to their form they might be called pine
cones. 'Stachys ailinis isanother name
and lately they have given it the name
'Stachys Sieboldii.' The cultivation is
the same as the II potato, and there
have been found over 100 knobs in one
hill; some say rs many us 300, but this
is probably exaggerated. They are, of
course, not as large as our common po-
tato According to The Garden Flora,
the organ of the society, the analysis OF

ncendlaTy Was at work IA Grand
Rapids last night There were i've
fires ia a., and strange 70 say, nobody
can explain what started them. They
were insignificant biazes and al about
~ the same natare. small as they were,
however, they kept the FIRE Depart
ment hUstling from the time darkness
set IN I'll midnight. Another strange
fact Is that they occurred around the
central portion of thecity and from ap-
.pearances it looks a. Il they were the
work OF one man. The hTe-bug, If
there was one, left no clue.
Fortunately the damage was only
nominal. Two or the fires were put
out by patrolmea who discovered them.
The supposed incendlary had, mama
or grudge against heaps OF rubbish N
alleys aud Old rickety buildings and in
some instances the result would have
been serious indeed, had iL not 0een
Tor their prompt q scOvery.
The first Gre occurred shortly after 8
o'clock, when a patrOlman discovered a
pils Of RUBBISH burning IN Canal alley.
The blaze was extingulshed by the Otti-
Ger and the department was not called
out.
A box Of rubbish IN the alley back of
the B.0dgett block attracted tue atten-

'partment responded to a call from the
rear Cf 100 Louis-st. a hOgshead OF
rubb sh was found ablaze IN dangerous
proximity 10 the building.
At 1875 p. IN. blaze was discovered
IN some dry goods boxes IN the rear Of
IS Csual-sg. PaIClman Spencer put It
out without calling the department.
The last alarm was turned II at ll:30
p. m. from the corner of Canal and
MasOu-sIs. IL proved to be a small
blaze I'M Hendrie & Co.'S barn. IL was
extinguished with slight damage.
