First Use of Potatoes In Ireland.

In the garden adjoining his house at Youghal Raleigh planted the first potatoes ever grown in Ireland. The vegetable was brought to him from the little colony which he endeavored to establish in Vir- ginia. The colonists started in April, 1885, and Thomas Harriot, one of their number, wrote a description of the coun- try in 1887. He describes root which must have been the potato:
 'Openank are kind of roots of round form, some of the bignesse of walnuts, some farre greater, which are found in moist & marish grounds growing many together one by another in ropes as though they were fastened with a string. Being boiled they are very good meat"
 The Spaniards first brought potatoes to Europe, but Raleigh was undoubtedly the first to introduce the plant into Ireland. St. Nicholas.

A Great We'll.

At Bourne, in Lincolnshire, at depth of 66 feet water impregnated with iron was encountered, but this chalybeate liquid was excluded as the tubes were carl ried deeper. Some 12 feet lower the main spring was tapped and the water rose very slowly up the tube, and it was 24 hours before the water over6owed. AS the depth increased 30 did the volume of the ascend ing currept and by the time the well had reached the depth of too feet the flow was 1900 gallons per minute, or 1879, 900 gal. Ions per day.
 Although this was an enormous flow, yet the engineers thought that by going little deeper still larger supply would be available Numerous cases are on record where, under similar circumstances, the deepening of the we'll has resulted in com- plete failure. It will be readily understood that in such instances increased boring has carried the we'll through the nonpor- ous rock upon which the water bearing layer rested, thus allowing the water to escape. With the Bourne we'll, however, the deepening of the bore hole had the de. sired effect, for at depth of 120 feet the outflow increased to 1,S00 gallons per minute, or no less than 2,592, 900 gallons per day.-Chambers' Journal.

New Bofiices.

A marked feature In the make of new bodices is that the fullness in the front overhangs the waist in bag fashion. Many are trimmed with perpendicular bands of jet or ribbon, which fall from the waist on to the skirt, and the fuilness of tho bodice is often outlined at the sides by shaped bands of velvet, edged with jet The ribbon employed is frequently em- broidered with sequins. A beautiful ex- ample Of this class of embroidery Is black satin evening gown, @ narrow band of the sequins being carried along the edge of the skirt, and then brought upward on to the three plaits at the back, widening con- siderably.

A STRATEGIC soN-lN-LAw.
How He Brought About an Exchange of
 Prisoners and Pence.

A
 ''One of the funniest experiences I re- member of my boyhood times was that of a couple in our neighborhood who ran away and got married" said Newt Moore. "After the bridal tour was over the couple went to the young lady's home to mako peace with the old folks. The young lady'S father met them at the door, and taktsg his daughter by the arm thrust her into a room and locked her up, and gathering up the shotgun ordered his son-in-law of the place and threatened his life if he ever re- turned. The young man went home and sat down and did some hard thinking.
 Finally he sent word to the young la- dy's mother to come and get her daugh- ter's clothes and and everything that be- longed to Der. She did so. and the young man held his mother in-law as @ prisoner and hostage for the return of his wife. He, too, took Q shotgun and stood guard.
 "The second day after the father of the young lady carne over to negotiate a sur- render of prisoners. AS soon as he came in sight he waved his white handkerchief in token of truce. The result was there was mutual exchange of prisoners. Tho young man made such good impression upon his mother-in-law during her cap- tivity that all differences were patched up, and the hatchet was buried "-St. Joseph Herald,

A DEVELOPMENT IN STEEL MANl
 FACTURE.

Birmingham (England) Gazette.
 We are in position to announce that Q significant departure has been created in one of the most important of the South Staffordshire heavy industries, the dis coveFy of the adaptabiiity of steel to do. mains of manufacturing hitherto deemed peculiarly sacred to Staffordshires rolled iron. This is none other than the great galvanized sheet iron business. For some time past it has been an open secret in the iron trade that attempts were being made by one of the largest galvanized sheet-iron firms in the kingdom, with black iron works situated in the district, to produce steel for galvauizing purposes, but all sorts of difficulties were alleged. We are now able to make known that the experiments have been confirmed, and with so much success that iron will probably no longer be used, and steel will be almost entirely substituted as the future material for gall -v6nfzed sheet manufacture. Some of the most advanced of the galvanizers, even among those who have not left off the use of iron, confess that steel is the coming metal, aud that ssnothing can stop it.'
