The United States Is just now SUI
fering from potato famine, and the
high price OF this indispensable tuber
will no doubt so stimulate produce
ton that next fall the price will be
below the cost of growing. The
writer has noticed that this is almost
invariably the case, and a year of
high prices for potatoes is usually
followed by an over supply. Those
who take pains to get the earlier va.
rieties planted at the earliest posi-
BILE time, so as to get them into the
markets before the main crop is fl;
to harvest, will no doubt got good
prices. A few years ago the writer
planted an acre Of early potatoes,
paying for the seed at the rate OF 50
cents bushel, the seed being small
and unstable in tire market Tor food
purposes. The crop was put in at the
earliest possible moment and given
good care, and part of it was sold,
just as soon as they were larg,.
enough to use, for 81 a bushel. In
the fall when the general crop began
to come IN, the price went down to
20 cents. II the whole crop, from
that acre had been dug and sold ear
ly, five times as many bushels could
have been bought for the same
money. The moral will be plain to
the reader.-American Farmer.

How Electricity KislA

After an investigation OF large num-
Der of deaths from electric shock, Messrs.
Biraud and Lacassagne, of Lyons, have
concluded that electricity causes death
either by producing mechanical LESSONS
Of the blood vessels and nervous sys-
TEN, or by stopping the respiration and
the action of the heart. Deaths of the
former class result from lightning and
static discharges from powerful batteries;
but those of the second class are met
with in shocks from the high tension cur
rents used industrially. The two clas-
ses of death, another French writer adds,
are distinguished also in practice by a
most important fact While disruptive
discharges of the first class produce
death absolutely, the electric action in
Ahe second case frequently puts the VIC

which he may be restored by artificial

What She Knew About DOGS.

Nick is an Office boy employed or
Broadway, says the New York Mer-
curry. He turn d up in the Office the
other day with an unganly looking
cur hanging on to a battered rope
which he had improvised from some
remnants in the ash barrel. The
chief clerk shook his head resolutely
at Nick's proposition that the canine
should become one of the Office staff.
Nick ,aid it was too cold for thorough.
bred Cogs to be wandering about
without a home. The clerk said that
1T was cur and had better die any
way so Nick led his acquisition of
into the st eet. He was looking
about as detected as the cur, when a
lady met him who looked as if she
might have picked up her informa.
ton about CANNES at the dog show
She accosted Nick, and asked him
what he would take for the dog
''Seventy-fve CENTS" said Nick.
The woman took out half dollar
and compromised. Then she led the
dog off in triumph.
When Nick got back to the Office
the chief clerk said to him: Mick,
you're in luck: there's $40 reward
offered in the Herald this morning
for your dog" Nick began to feel
giddy. THE description TALES en-
actlY. Take it around to Is Irving
Place and get your &c." added tn,
clerk. Nick slid out of the Office
without making any reply, and just
as he reached the steps of No. Is he
met the woman who had bought the
dog coming down with a new $40 bill
in hand and smile on her face
which made Nick go off and kick
himself all over.

Learning to Keep u Hotel.

The Swiss hotel-keepers are admit
tcdly some Of the he in the world,
and some Of the secrets are to be
available to the bookkeeping world
at large, as they propose to open
technical school for instruction in the
whole art of their calling. The school
is designed to educate young men in
theoretical and practical knowledge
necessary in the management of a
hotel. The course of study includes
French, English and German, with
particular reference to technical cor
respondence, writing and book keep-
ing, geography, and especially travel
ing arrangements and communica-
ton between different countries; tho
management of the cellar and
kitchen; the choice ard purchase OF
provisions and wines: the art of wait
inl: and, finally, manners and deport-
ment From the way in which many
managers conduct the hotels in their
charge it is evident that their course
OF training has not included all the
branches of this list, and especially
its last items, and any attempt to
raise the standard of their response

A Page Who Saved . King.

A very pretty story is told about q
page in the service of Prince William Of
Orange, who in after years sat on the
English throne with Mary. While en-
gagged in war with France William was
seized with smallpox in its worst form,
and as the eruption refused to come to
The surface or respond to any treatment
.he physicians declared he would die
unless some young healthy person who
had never had the disease would enter
the bed and hold the Prince in his arms
for some time. The animal warmth, it
was thought, might cause the pustules to
appear, and thus preserve the hope of
his country. This announcement pro-
iuced the greatest CONSERVATION among
the attendants, for even those who had
had the disease shrank from encounter
ing it again, for the physicians ac-
knowledged that the experiment might
be fatal. One of the pages-a hand
some youth realizing that the Prince
would die unless this was done, volun-
tered to be the subject of the expert
ment, which. when tried, was successful.
Bentinck imbibed continent smallpox,
narrowly escaped with life, and his
handsome face was married for life, but
in after years William rewarded his fidel-
ity by making him Prime Minister.
His wife, Mary H., of England, died
of smallpox. She was addicted to high
living, overeating, and had fondness
for drinking rich chocolate and win at
bedtime. She was full and large and her
blood SO thick that her constitution was
lnable to combat a disease nourished by
her high fed condition. Her sister and
successor, Queen Anne, had smallpox
when child. She, too, was a great
eater, and close study Of history proves
hat most people who have died of small
pox were Commands and overfed. New

These standing silicifed stumps aud
fallen trees were found varying in diam
eter from one to seven feet Two sections
of trees were found So perfect that the
rings of annual growth throughout could
be counted, except few, perhaps fifteen
or twenty, near the heart and bark. One
tree, measuring three feet in diameter,
had two hundred and twenty two rings of
growth; and another, of three feet
five inches in diameter, had two
hundred and forty -three--this with
out any allowance for few missing
rings ut the center and toward the bark.
The larger Of these trees was only about
half the size of the largest seen. Many
were found varying in diameter from ii,
to seven feet, but none of this size were
seen exposing the rings throughout the
entire section. Judging from the close
ness Of the rings in certain well-preserved
portions of these larger trees, many of
them must have been at least five hun
drcd years in attaining their growth, if
the rings were truly annual. Taking
one half OF this number, two hun
dred and fifty years, as the more
probable age of the successive forests at
this point, it is seen that the earliest Of
these trees were living more than two
thousand years before the latest, during
which time there were alternating condi-
tons of growth and accumulation of vol
canic material.
This estimate makes no allowance for
the time necessary for the formation of
soil upon the volcanic material, which
ut first sight would seem necessary for
the support of such vigorous vegeta-
ton. 1t is not probable, however, that
any considerable time was necessary for
this purpose, for, with rare exceptions,
each succeeding forest took root and be-
gan to grow very promptly after the
destruction of its predecessor. In most
cases the destroying food consisted
largely of mud. ashes. conglomerate, and
other volcanic material, which formed
an excellent base for vegetation, and it
was doubtless covered with luxuriant
growth us soon as it was dried or cooled
sufficiently, and this would require
only short time Popular Silence
