utary to Holland, is IN otner respects
an independent state, politically with
out Importance, yet happy, rich, and,
since time lmmemorial, governed and
defended by women. The sovereign is
indeed a man, but all the rest of the
government belongs to women. The
king is entirely dependent upon his
state council, composed of three wo-
men. The highest authorities, all
state officers, court functionaries, mill
tary commanders and soldiers, are,
without exception, women. The men
are agriculturists and merchants.
The kings body guard is formed Of
amazonS, who ride in the masculine
style. The throne is inherited by the
eldest son, and in case the king dies
without issue, hundred amazOns
assemble and choose a successor from
their own sons, the chosen one being
then proclaimed lawful king.

Managed Il Retwean Than,

1t used to be the custom in England
for pheasants to feed from boxes
which opened when the bird stood on
rail in front, the box shutting to
again as soon as the bird left the rail.
BY this device the food was protected
from all manner of thieves
1t SO happened, according to Bishop
Stanley of Norwich, that coot or
water hen had studied the movements
OF the pheasants, and being anxious
to get its meals as easily as they got
theirs, it tried the box one day. AS it
was not heavy enough to raise the lid
it kept jumping on the rail to give
extra force to its weight; still the re-
suit was not satisfactory.
Accordingly it went away, but re-
turned soon with another coot. The
weight of the two birds was now suffi.
cient to cause the box to open.

says: The native habitat of the sweet
potato is not definitely known. 1t is
generally supposed to be of American
origin but we have no authentic ac-
count OF where and when it was first
brought into cultivation by civilized
man. The sweet potato is quite a
different thing, botanically considered,
from the Irish potato. The former is
an enlarged root, while the latter is an
enlarged subterranean stem. The sweet
potato belongs to the morning glorv
family (convolvulaceae), and the Irish
potato belongs to the night shade
family (solanaceae).
Farmers usually allow the tops to
decay on the ground. They make an
important feed for stock and especially
for dairy cattle. This is true in par
ticular OF the tops of the Vineless,
which remain green during very Sc
we're drouths when grass usually is
scorched and killed by burning sun
and dry winds. Since they grow in
punches and stand up well they can be
cut with a moving machine and put
up like regular forage crops. They
have also been recommended by a
farmer in this state for salad. We
have tried them and find them to make
salad Of very fair quality. Their
contents of protein, ash and crude
fiber rank about as high as they do in
the tuber. This is shown in the analv-
sis of the tops by Prof. D. Adriance,
given in the table below. The analysis
was made last October 10th. Since
they are high in the content of water
and carbohydrates, they should be
mixed with more dry and nitrogen
GUS material for feed, such as cotton
seed or cotton seed meal.

THE TYRANT POTATO.

Mrs. Rorer evidently indorses
Marion Harland's view of the
''Tyrant potato" She says: Life
is too short to be spent in digesting
potatoes. l never eat them in any

doubtedly true that in many house
holds nowadays the potato habit is
much lessened. Time was when
potatoes fried for breakfast, baked
for luncheon, and mashed or plain
boiled for dinner, was the logical
course of table events in almost every
we'll regulated family. The break
fast cream has practically banished
it from the first meal in the day, it is
often absent from the luncheon
board, and it is really only at dinner
that it is apt to be in perennial evil

lasting appearance.

THE APPENDICITIS FAD.

a prominent doctor who has per
formed a score OF successful opera
tions for the removal OF that trouble
some and inexplicable part of the
human anatomy, the vermiform ap-
pendix, says that the general impress
sion that appendicitis is caused by
the presence in the appendix OF a
cherry stone or Currant seed, or
a seed of any kind. is entirely erron-
eous Il have not found seed In
the appendix of a single one OF my

digested matter gets into the little

enough to receive 1t. 1t may remain
there for many years and cause no
trouble, and then again 1t may bring
on appendicitis almost Immediately.
Where the patient is in good health,
in four cases out of five the opera
ton for removing the appendix IS
successful.
Doctors who have allowed the
appendicitis fad to carry them away
have performed the operation upon
a great many people whose Verml-
form appendices were in good con-
dition, and in some cases patients
having weak constitutions have died
because of the needless slit in their
abdomens. l am very glad to ex-
plode that story about the grape
seeds and many other seeds.
People who have heard about ap-
pendicitis have given up the luxury
of small fruit in fear of appendicitis,
and some of the extremely sensitive
ones have been constantly worried
lest some seed that they had swallow
ed in the past might give them this
disease-which is among the rarest
OF diseases anyway.-[Th American
