T. b. Terry, the potato specialist OF
Ohio, cuts his seed potatoes in this fashion,:
He begins cutting at the stem end, and
when he gets up to the seed end and has a
piece left about the size of the other one
eye pieces, he clips off all the eyes but one
on this piece. The shaving cut off to de-
etroy the cluster Of eyes is thrown away.
This seed end piece then has but one eye
and is as good as the rest. With this plan
he has very few potatoes that are not Of
marketable size.

Century, gives the farmer credit for bet

SAYS, 'the farmer is more inclined to an

to quiescent state OF discomfort. He is
not now posing as crushed and injured
cultivator, but rather as yeoman entitled

The Russian Tolstoi.

The Russian peasants are without bread, without seed grain, without mon ey and almost without hope. Among these wretched people, Tolstoi constant ly moves about clothed in his peasant blouse, aiding, advising, encouraging and distributing food and money with personal judgment and extreme care. His plan of assistance is the simplest pos sible in organization, the cheapest and most efficient in execution. The peas ants know him as their friend, trust him thoroughly and lean on his help with confidence and hope. No one so well un- derstands the peasant character and peas ant ways as does Tolstoi. One we'll ac- quainted with him says that "he has car ried his own self simplification' not only externally to such pitch of well bal anced wisdom and naturalness as one generally encounters with joy only among the common people," Such man, working in such way. is the best possible exemplification of the essence of democracy and of Christianity.
 The Russian land owners and nobles, while not often personally following the example thus set them in the brother hood of man and the community of hu- man interests, have liberally aided Tol- stoi with money, recognizing the effic- iency of his methods. The government, though it has shown itself in other cases distrustful of individual efforts to fight the famine, has not only permitted but encouraged the Tolstoi plan. A cruel and malicious report was lately set afloat that the reverse was the case, but it has been conclusively contradicted by direct cablegrams from Tolstoi and Countess Tolstoi to Miss Hapgood. who has charge of the American contributions to Tol- stoi's fund.--[C Christian Union.

The tonnage passing through the De- troit river during the season of 1890 was Fl, ,6S4 ,000 tons, while that passing through the SueZ canal in the same year was only 6,S90,094 tons. There were car ried on the great lakes during 1890 2S,- 295, ,959 tons of cargo in the United States coastwise trade and 2,003, ,047 tons of car go in the United States foreign trade, making the aggregate cargo tonnage 30,- 299,0 tons. If the freight carried on the great lakes in the United States coast wise and foreign trade during the season of navigation of 1890 were loaded into railroad cars of l5 tons capacity, the cars would cover 13, ,466 miles of railroad. In other words, the freight carried on the great lakes in single year would cover four tracks from San Francisco to New York with continuous lines of fully loaded cars and there would be a suffic- tent amount left over to cover two addit-
 ional tracks from New York to Chicago.

It looks as if natural causes might fin ally settle the race question at the South In an interesting article on the colored population,in in Frank Leslie's Weekly, F.. W. Hewes shows that the whites in the Southern States have increased more rap idly than the negroes since 1880, until now the whites are increasing twice as fast. The vice bred of slavery has had something to do with this. In the de- cade closing with 1890, only three states, Arkansas, West Virginia and Mississippi. show slightly increased gain of blacks over whites, the rest of the South having larger white increase. Only in South Carolina, Louisiana and Mississippi do the blacks outnumb9r the whites of the South, the two races being about equally divided in Georgia, Alabama and Flori- da. With the wonderful development of the South's mineral and manufacturing resources and the white immigration that is sure to fill the waste places of the South. her race question will be practi- cally settled in another 9 years.

The strong and sturdy oak still needs the support of it's native earth and, as it grows in size and spreading branches, it's roots must strike deeper in the soil which warmed and fed it's first tender sprout.

Soon after Lord Shaftesbury's death, I held in my hand the worn Bible which had been his constant companion and, as l turned over the pages, yellow with age and thin with use, and saw the marks that his hand had traced, noticed con- stantly recurring some line, some note or allusion to his various speeches in the House of Commons-some word of praise or of supplication-show from whence he gained the strength to plead for suf- fering humanity in the teeth of opposit- ion and ridicule.
