The national debt of England first

The national debt of England, first
appears as regular expenditure in
1884, though no doubt it had practically
existed long before. With some fuctu-
atoms it grew and grew until, at the
close of the great war in 1916, it
amounted to nearly GOO, 900, 000--more
than all the other national debts of the
world put together. IL seems singular
commentary on our great triumph over
Napoleon that, while France came de-
feated out of the war with a debt of
only about f70,000, 900, we, who were
victorious, had incurred one of e900,-
O00, 900. This enormous sum has been
slowly reduced; but at the present
moment, and even after deducting the
amount of loans made to local author
tiles and. the purchase money of the
Suez Canal shares, it still amounts to
f731, 900, 900. The Americans are set
ting US a noble example, aad paying
their debt of with much greater
rapidity. English paper.

Late- Planted Potatoes.

One of the advantages of late
planted potatoes is that it gives
chance for more thorough preparation
OF the soil. One OF the evenest and
best potato fields seen this year was
grown after corn. The field was
plowed three times, thoroughly mix
ing the soil and impossible those air
spaces under burrows, which, when
they come under a hill OF potatoes,
are not often remedied all the season.
A poor hill occasionally greatly re-
duces the yield. 1t cannot be avoided
except by most thorough preparation
of the soil before the potatoes are
planted.

most cut of. When found her body was
almost blOodless, as besides stabbing her
body the murderer had cut the veins in her
wrist. The maid was nearly hacked to
pieces. The stabs all over her breast and
stomach were hardly an inch apart. Her
neck had been cut all around and there
was a gaping wound in her throat.

murders were committed evidently early
on Friday evening, but were not discovered
until the next morning. Suspicion fell
upon German named Schumann, who
was an overseer in tannery 10 the city.
He had been intimate with the countess
maid, and from her was known to have
learned the ways of the house and the
countess habits. He was not at work on
Saturday morning, and signs Of a hasty de
