Some wonderful results with regard
70 potato culture have been obtained
by a gentleman farmer in France.
This farmer. who is also a distin-
guished chemist, has been. according
to a recent consular report from
Nantes, for some time past conducting
experiments with potatoes, with the
remarkable result that he has succeeded
in securing the enormous return OF
forty-two tons per acre. The plan he
adopts is to carefully select the seed
and to use only the best and soundest
tubers. The ground is dug or plowed
10 a great depth and is we'll manfred.
Before planting the seed potatoes they
are soaked for about tw~enty-four hours
in a mixture composed OF saltpetre and
sulphatc of ammonia, six pounds Of
each salt to twenty-five gallons OF
water. After this soaking the tubers
are allowed to drain. and they then
stand for twenty-four hours longer, in
order that the germs may have time u

Autumn Ucadgenr.

Narrow, black ostrich tips" are very
much worn. Velvet and silk flowers
are also in great favor and shot velvet
is quite the autumnal trimming for
hats and bonnets. A large and bcauti-
full black felt hat is trimmed round the
crown with shot-velvct in palcst poplar
green and gray. The crowns OF the
new hats are rather low and fat. II Is
so in this instance. A prince OF Wales
plume in black feathers forms the rest
Of the trimming. A few folds OF the
velvet rest on the hair under the brim
and arc carried thence beneath tho
brim and over il at the back. a very

a ~softening frill of black lace about the

one day a great tournament was held
"a that district; and Ber'rand's three
giant brethren rode CALAMITY out TO
join the muster. leaving their youngest
brother NJ homc-for what business

A fine picture they made in their gilt
tcring armor and waving plumes. us
the- pranced along the road on their
splendid horses; aud beside them rode
their father, with his stout men-at-
arms at his back and his ancestral
banner floating over his head. But the
old baron-who was already advanced
in years. and had had his full share OF
glory-was going to the tournament
only Ia watch the fcats Of his stalwart
sons. fully expecting that these young
giants. who had never met their match
in single combat, would carry off all
the honors Of the day.
His sons were quite as confident as
himself; and, when the contest began,
il seemed as IL their confidence would
be- fully justified. Everyone who dared
to face their lances was borne down,
horse and man. or sent flying out OF his
saddle like a stone from sling.
AT last no more c~hallengers seemed
inclined TO come forward, and the mar
shall of the lists-who was no other
than the duke of Bretagne himself
was beginning to think of declaring
the sports ended, and adjudging the
prize to the eldest of the three rcdoubt-
able brothers, when suddenly the
blast Of a trumpet was heard from the
far end of the course, and n single
horscman. sheathed in complete armor,
and with his helmet closed, rode slowly
into the lists.
His appearance was greeted with a
murmur Of mingled wonder and amuse-
ment-and certainly not without rca-
son-for his figure was so short and
square that he seemed 70 be almost as
broad as he was long. and he rode a
horse quite as clumsily shaped As him

But some of the more experienced
lookers-on remarked that this ode
horse was immensely powerful in spite
of its qncer looks, and that its rider
must be very strong likewise. for the
spear and shield that lie bore were :,
heavy that few ordinary lei coulc
even have lifted them.
Then the trumpets sounded. and thu
heralds proclaimed that this unknown
champion stood ready to meet which
