A reasonable estimate would give near
ly three billions as che number OF copies
of newspapers and other periodicals is"
sued in this country in one years time,
That makes two for each inhabitant OF
the globe, or fifty one week for every
American, Old and young. Allowing for
the moderate dimensions OF one square
yard Of paper for each of these, the re-
suit would show that a Thousand square
miles of paper js annually submitted to
the eyes Of American readers, or enough
to cover entirely the state Of Rhode Is
land. 1t would also reach from the
earth to the moon IN a strip twenty-one
feet broad A good deal of paper, isn't
it?

In the garden adjoining his house at
Youghal, Raleigh planted the first pota-
tatoes grown ia Ireland. The vegetables
were brought to him fcom the little colo
ny which he endeavored to establish I'D
Virginia. The colonists started in April,
1885, and Thomas Harnot, one of their
number, wrote description of the coun-
try in 1887. He describes root which
must have been the potato:
"Openinank are kind of roots Of
round form, some of the bigness Of wal
NUTS sorne far greater, which are found in
moist and marshy grounds growing many
together one by another in ropes, as
though they were fastened with q string,
Being boiled they are very good meat.
The Spaniards first brought potatoes
to Europe, but Raleigh was undoubted-
ly the first to introduce the plant in Ire.
land.

In divorce case tried in Cleveland a.
few days ago things were little mixed.
Plaintiff and defendant are members Of
the same family, yet not related by
blood. The father and mother OF each
were also their father-in law and mother
in law. Their child only has only one
sat of grandparents instead Of two,
which seems hardy fair. The child's
father is also his uncle and his mother il
his aunt; both by marriage, Of course.
Although no longer husband aud wife,
the parties to the suit are step brother
and sister still. It ell happened thus:
Josephine Chalus' father married Frank
Chalus' mother some years ago. The
step brother and sister evidently appre-
ciated their respective parents taste.
At any rate they fell in love and IN due
time were married. They had one child
but Frank did not seem to care for chill
dren. At any rate be studiously neglect
ed his family and scarcely knew the baby
when he saw him in court. As he de-
clinsd to contribute anything toward the
support Of his wife and child she was
granted divorce.
1t ia known to only a few that tun-
mel is to be constructed from the crypt
of the Capital under the east park to the
vaults Of the great building for the Con-
gressional Library, now in course OF con-
struction. The plans for the tunnel
have been completed and work upon it
will soon be begun, that it may be used
in the transportation of the nearly L.
100000 books and pamphlets which
make up the vast bulk of the library
from the old rooms to the new. It is
