The potato is one of the most important
of cultivated plants. and in universal Gull
tivation in temperate parts Of the globe.
1t is a native Of mountain districts of tropi
cal and sub-tropical America, probably
from Chill to Mexico, but there il some
question as to where it is really indigo
nous. Humboldt doubted if it had cfer
been found truly wild, but subsequent
travellers Of high scientific reputation eX-
press themselves thoroughly satisfied.
Maize and potatoes are the two greatest
gifts which America has given to the rest
OF the world
The potato has been cultivated manner
lea and it, tubcrs used for food for a time
long anterior TO the discovery Of America
By Europeans. IL seems to have been
brought FIR. TO Europe by the Spauiards
from the neighboghool OF Quito in the
Sixth century No more important
event Of this Kind has ever taken place
than the introduction Of potato culture
into Great Britain and other European
countries. il was long called "latatas'

meant bv English writers down to the mid

The mouth Is not more distinctly the
gateway to the alimentary system than the
nose is to the respiratory, nor Is t more
carefully designed for preparing food to
enter the stomach than is the nose for pre-
pairing air TO enter the lungs.
1t is important for all persons to be in
structed that the nose has three highly
necessary functions related to breathing,
and for which it is delicately adapted, be-
sides those Of IN opening for air and IA de
tective of bad air, viz; to warm, to moisten,
and to filter the air which it admits, and
that neither of these functions can be per-
formed by the mouth. However warm or
cold the atmospheric temperature the air
is brought almost, If not quite, to the tenn
perature of the blood in passing through
the nose alone, and even before reaching
the pharynx, or cavity back Of the nose;
that however dry the external air may be
it is completely saturated with moisture
by passing through the nose.-Halrs Jour.

A horrible tale, a relic of old.time WITCH
craft delusions has just come across the
ocean. In certain village in Galicia 1t was
discovered that Hebrew cemetery had been
broken into. The police inquiries brought
out the fact that typhus fever was raging In
aneighboring village. and so-called doctor
had prescribed, as cure. the burning of the
bones of Hebrew in a patients room. The
doctor went to the cemetery. took the bodies
Of two Hebrew children from the grave, and
burned the remains over a charcoal fire in
the apartments of the sick person, nearly
smothering the latter with the horrible
fumes. He pretended to catch the disease
and put 1t in bottle as 1t arose in the midst
of the fumes. The doctor was arrested and
imprisoned on the charge of grave-robbing.
While such stories of superstition, at the
present time could only find their dwelling
place In far away hooks and corners of the
world, there was time when they could be
told in this country and even in this very
town, where minister who was driven from
his pulpit and from the state of Massachu-
sets on charge Of witchcraft came to live
and who was afterward hanged in Salem fol-
the so-called crime, the possibility of which
was fully believed at the time.

The same Old Story.

The Republicans Of Maine have not won a
victory in twenty years which the Democrats
have not attributed to bribery. Way back
in 1872 we find the Eastern Argus declaring
the day after election, when the returns
showed that the Democrats were whipped
out OF their boots, that "if Maine could
nave been left alone yesterday, and not over
"nelmed with an army of plausible place men
@nu an avalanche of greenbacks she would

were purchased in the city and neighboring

whelming defeat of the Democratic ticket
oue entlrely to the "la wish expenditure of
money, the use Of gre at corruption fund"
For twenty years. according to the Argus.
the Democratic party has been for sale, and
as a rule has been sol d, not few hundreds
OF 1t, but thousands and tens of thousands,
Tor the Republican majorities during that
period have ranged from 1000 to $4,000, and
every majority has been, according to the
Argus, the result of Republican corruption.
OF course 1t was inevitable when Speaker
Reed rolled up his big plurality of 1890 that
the Argus should attribute it to DOODLE ;,
The editorial pen of the Argus mechanically
writes Doodle the morning after every Repub.
lican victory. The bigger the victory the more
Ink the editor puts on the pen, and the harder
he bears on when he writes the word He
threw his whole weight upon it Monday
night. After the Argus set the fashion Mr..
Frank began to cry Doodle. and now most of
the Democratic politicians, big and little,
are joining in the chorus
Not one of them appears to have stopped
to consider in what a predicament the
charge leaves the party, if it be true. Mr..
Reeds vote in the district was within about
14OO OF his vote two years ago. The Demo
cratic vote fell off nearly 1000. This mum
Der is about one quarter of the vote the
Democrats threw two years ago. OF course
If Mr.. Reeds plurality is the result of boo
die, as the Argus declares, it follows that
these 1900 Democrats stayed at home for
Doodle, for their absence from the polls &C.
counts for considerable of the plurality.
Here then we have. if the Argus be right, the
spectacle of one-Quarter IF the Democratic
party of this district selling themselves for
cash. And this is a sample of the Demo-
cratic party of the country, upon whose
accession to power, according to the Argus.
the future welfare OF the country depends.
What stupid spectacle this, of a Demo-
cratic organ parading its party to the coun-
try as made up Of voters, one-quarter of
whom are for salel What stupid thing it
would be even If the charge were true!
How infinitely more stupid to make it with
out particle of evidence of its truth, and
against abundant proof to the contrary,
merely for the sake of covering ones confu-
sion at an unexpected result Of an election.
How infinitely more sensible it would be
for Democrats and Democratic organs to tell
the truth about Mr.. Reeds plurality. Ad-
miration of the man, and belief in the princi-
pies he represents brought most of the Re-
| publican to the polls. The same feelings
kept many Democrats away from the polls,
and not few openly and boldly voted for
| Mr.. Reed. The result was of course
large Republican vote and small Demo-
cratic one. This is the truth and the whole
| truth about Mr.. Reeds phenomenal victory,
and no amount of shouting of bribery and
corruption can obscure the fact, nor blind
the people to the logic of the election fig

The great fortresses of Canada seem to be
In a bad way. 1t will be remembered that
not so very long ago a section of the rock
of Quebec fell down, revealing ar extremely
bad condition of things with the natural
fortress" Some of the defects were sup
posed to have been remedied, but it now ap-
pears that nothing has been done. When
Prince George of Wales sailed up the river
recently the ''thunders of fort and fleet" that
should have welcomed him were conspic-
uously absent Bells were rung, and whistles
footed, and there was much cheering and
waving of hats and handkerchiefs. but the
guns spoke not. Some peace-loving people
became convinced that the old order of things
had been done away, and that no more
powder was to be burned in Quebec Such
was not the case, In fact. The salute was
omitted simply because the officers were
afraid that the conclusion of the guns and
the detonations against the rock would shake
1t down into the river. 1t would almost
seem that in the event of another war the
same tactics could be employed against
Quebec that were used in the historic attack
on Jericho. The st. John Globe In COM
menting on this melancholy state of things
says "The fortress at Negrotown Point, near
this city. is continually sliding seaward !;
that at Halifax is said to be crumbling for
want Of REPAIRS" The Globe does not feel
much alarmed on this account, for the safety
Of Canada. Happily" it says ''notwith-
standing the fears of Lieut.. Tilley, there i:
very little need for them"
