Of his plate, and when the curious
guests ventured TO inquire into the
nature of his studies he explained
that it was sort of programme
of the dishes which he had
commanded from the cook, to
the intent that if some delicacy which
especially appealed to him were mark
ed for last stage in the repast he
might carefully reserve his appetite
for it. The simplicity and beauty OF
this idea appealed instantly to the
good dukes convivcs, and the menu

There is more mixing of varieties
among potatoes than there is in any
other farm crop. The evil is in
creased by the tendency of new va
rioties to sport and produce potatoes
of different color and shape from
those used as seed. But in most
cases it comes from carelessness in
digging where several sorts are
grown on adjoining rows in the same
field. No matter how distinct one
variety may be from another, when
the men strike row Of another kind
1t is the most natural thing in the
world to dig one or two hills lust to
see II they are different Nine times
out of ten these hills will be put
among the potatoes previously dug.
In this way after two or three years
potato seed becomes hopelessly
mixed. 1t is very hard now to get
Early Rose that will be wholly true to
name. The sport Late Rose looks 50
much like the other that it escapes
unless the hills are marked before
the tops die. The Late Rose has
green tops long after the other kind
has withered almost out of sight.
Where potatoes are cut and two
pieces placed in the hill the mixing
is still more hopeless. We think at
least enough varieties, pure and
true to name, should be saved each
fall for seed. An even lot, all of one
variety, looks much better and will
bring several cents more per bushel
in most markets than sorts that in
clude several kinds. Even for cook
ing they are worth more, while, of
course, for seed no one would will
lingly purchase mixed lot if he
could get any other. American Gull

Tired of Life.

Mr.. William n. Hornaday, a young gem
tleman Of many rare qualities, who for
some time has been the special artist Of
the Richmond Dispatch, committed sui
eide in Austin Tex, on last Saturday
By injecting morphine in his left arm.
While living here young Hornaday made
many friends. and his premature death
will be generally regretted.
He left here several months ago and
went 10 the far West. While living in
this city he often spoke on the subject OF
suicide, and one Of his friends at one time
cautioned him to select some other theme.
for If he did not do so he might be apt
some day 10 commit suicide himself.
From the information received II seems
that young Hornaday went about 1t In a
very deliberate manner. He wrote a
letter TO a friend designating the articles
OF clothing which he wished to have put
on his dead body. In letter to another
friend he asked that a casket' not 100
costly, be selected and that his remains
be sent TO Atlanta, Ga, where his iather
occupies the pulpit in one OF the leading
churches.
His friends complied with his request
and on Saturday evening the body or
young Hornaday left Austin Tor It's last
resting place.
