A prominent man in the city, who
is noted for his close listed proclivi-
ties, is being guyed by number of
his friends, a few days ago he met
the directors of his company. 1t
happens that there is very comely
maiden who h.mmers the KEYS of a
typewriter for the company, and this
has worried the avaricious gentle
man quite good deal, as he is of the
opinion that woman's place is at
home. He has tried ON several occa-
sions to have her salary cut down to
almost nothing, and any bills for ex-
penses coming from her are always
given the closest scrutiny by him.
At the meeting mentioned the di-
rectors were auditing bills. and
among them was one that read thus.
Ribbon for typewriter, rs cents. :
When the avaricious gentleman mo-
ticed it he was dumfounded-he
could not believe his senses. The idea
of the company furnishing the young
lady stenographer with ribbon fairly
froze him. He was on his feet in an
instant, waving his arms like a wind
mill and demanding of the secretary
if the company was compelled to
board and clothe its employees
After he had been laughed at for some
minutes it was explained to him that
the ribbon was for the machine and
not for the operator.-G Grand Forks

Bie Potatoes.

Some wonderful results with re-
gard to potato culture have been OBJ
tanned by a gentleman farmer in
France. This farmer, who is also a
distinguished chemist, has been for
some time past conducting expert
ments with potatoes, with the re-
markable result that he has succeed
ed in securing the enormous returns
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 to great depth and is
well manured. Before planting the
seed potatoes they are soaked for
about twenty four hours in q mixture
composed of saltpetre and sulphate
of ammonia, six pounds of each salt
to twenty-five gallons of water. Aft
er this soaking the tubers are al
lowed to drain, and they then stand
for twenty-four hours longer, in
order that the germs may have time
TO swell. - Chambers journal.
