OUR POTATO TRADE.
Why Should We Be Obliged TO Import Them
at All?

Washington, April 19.--The forthcom-
ing April report of the statistician of the
agricultural department will give some
suggestive figures in regard to the extent
to which this country imports a class of
farm produce which. it would SEEM ought
to be produced in the United States to
the total exclusion Of foreign countries.
During the 10 years ending June 80,
1894. there were imported into this coun-
try 90, 495, AIT bushels of potatoes, with an
aggregate value of s13. 155, 431. Net excess
of imports over reports for the same period
was "a, 347, 405 bushels; value, 50, 266, 35i.
During the year 1888 this country raised
the largest crop but one during the period
above mentioned. the crop being 202, 365,
600 bushels. During the same year We
imported 8, $50, 900 bushels of potatoes
That we should go abroad to buy potatoes
or any other farm product is a matter of
surprise to the agricultural department
The statistics that cannot be denied
show that during the 10 years just passed
almost $40, 900, 900 of our gold has gone
abroad to pay for this tuber. which forms
such q great PEI centagc of the aggregate
of our farm products.
Among the countries to which we ex-
port potatoes, Cuba is the most prominent
the British West Indies and North Ameri-
can provinces, with Mexico, Central
America, United States of Columbia,
Venezuela Hawaiian Islands and Hong
Kong being also among our larger Gus
TONERS for this product.
The principal countries from which We
obtain our imports of the same vegetable
are the United Kingdom, particularly
Scotland and the British North American
provinces. Germany, Belgium and the
Netherlands sometimes contribute con-
siderable quantities., and Bermuda and
some of the islands Of the West Indies
supply US with part Of our early potatoes.

full rambling CUTLER Crouch, whose De-
lectable Duchy is the little-known, roman

proposing to come for day of his fort
nights outing to see what Cornwall is
like. "By anticipation he spoke of my
home as nook It's window looks down
upon a harbor wherein, day by day, YES

perience are forever going and coming

made his own some thirty tales of Cornish
life, grave and gay, some full of rich Celtic

appreciation of all these, and quick,
reverential sympathy with every phase of

LEES SCHOOL HISTORY.

Mrs. Susan Pendleton Lee has rendered
valuable service to the South in her
school history, just issued. The history
differs from other publications of the kind
designed for use in the public schools of
the land, in that it devotes more space to
history and development of the Southern
States. For this she, has been thanked by
hundreds of prominent educators of the
schools and colleges of the South. Though
she has arrived at giving the South the
prominence it is denied in other school
histories there is nothing prejudicial in
the work. Neither is there anything in
the authors handling of the gravest event
in the Nations history-namely the Civil
War-to give offense. There is every evil
dence of care and accuracy in the compi-
lation and arrangement in chronological
order of the great mass of facts. The
volume is larger than other school histo-
ries generally in use, but Mrs. Lee excuses
that by saying that sit has not been found
possible or practicable to compress truths
into smaller compass without reducing
it to a compendium of facts" B. J. John
son Company, Richmond, Va.

1.-THE MARRIAGE CONTRACT"

This is the tirle-story of volume con-
tanning three of Balzac's shorter novels,
translated byCatherine Prescott Wormelev,
who has already in some twenty other
translations shown an appreciative inter-
probation of that great French writer of
fiction whose rapid, picturesque, flowing
style she seems so naturally to have
caught.
Balzac's writings are not immoral and
yet there is an apparently realistic touch
about these stories with their common
theme of marital infidelity. tinged occa-
sionally with unchasteness that gives to
the high life they depict suggestively
predominant coloring only slightly modi-
fie ID i'll it's effects by the final touches of
rig mt and virtue.
"The Marriage Contract" is the triumph
OF secretly antagonistic mother-in-law
and the final establishment of loving
husband, who finds his own fortune gone
and his wife Indifferent
The Double Life and "The Peace of a
Home" round out the volume. Published

THE CENTURY COOK BOOK.

Mrs. Mary Ronald's Century Cook Book,
just from the press of the Century Pub
fishing Company, will prove valuable
household companion. The whole gastron-
omic field. ethical, practical and scientific,
is covered. Miss Ronald also devotes a
chapter to dinner and luncheon etiquette,
which will be read with interest by every
housewife. The authoress has been
guided by the words of Ruskin. He
says of the cook and cooking: ITO be a
good COOK means the knowledge of all
fruits, herbs, balms and spices, and of all
that is healing and sweet in field and
groves, and savory in meats; means
carefulness, inventiveness, watchfulness,
Willingness and readiness of appliance. 1t
means the economy of your great-grand-
mothers and the science OF modern ceem-
lists. 1T means much tasting and no vast
ing. 1t means English thoroughness,
French art and Arabian hospitality. 1t
means, in fine, that you are to be perfectly
and always ladies Qoaf-giversl and are to

gest.. to the readers mind Samuel
Smiles, and his famous book on "Self
Help" "Successward," however, has the
advantage of being written by a young
man, who, as he himself says, writes mot
as patriarch, but with the smoke of the
battle all around him and from the very
thick of a yonng mans struggle for sue

an active and practical knowledge of the
problems, the perplexities and tempta-

Within well-defined limitations his book
gives every evidence of just this knowl-

young man, and for him it will doubtless
prove practically suggestive. Mr.. Bokfde-

ways and means to success as he defines it.

SUCCESSWiRD.

When, some time ago, one of Edward
w. Bok's most captious critics was asked
what he principally objected to in Mr..
Bok's work he replied with sudden burst
of frankness, "Its success" In truth,
whatever may be said of Mr.. Box, from a
literary point of view. it is indisputable
that he has certainly attained high
measure of business success since his ad-
vent in this country from ''The Land of
Pluck" This fact, and the further circum-
stance of his being yet very young man,
invests this little book of his. written ex-
pressly for young men, with an interest
and value that might not otherwise attend
upon it. "Successward" is volume of
essays which the author has from time to
time contributed to the Cosmopolitan and
other leading magazines. They are all
addressed TO young men, and deal directly
with that-to most young men-crucial
question, success in life. Perhaps no
book of this sort could be written to-
day that would not at once sug-
