Tri-centen.ry of the Potato.
Max York Herald. }

The tri centenary Of the introduction Of
the potato is to be celebrated in England
this year, for 1t was in 1896 exactly three
centuries ago. that Sir Walter Raleigh
planted the first Irish potatO in his estate,
at Youghal, near Cork. 1t is singular
tact that an insignificant plant, with no
beauty of leaves and flowers, with raus-
eous odor and Juice OF poisonous quail
ity, growing wild among the creyices Of
the rocks which bound the shores OF Peru
aud Chill, unknown to the world at large,
and all but ne elected BY the rude natives,
should have been transferred three CEN
tu-ies ago to Europe, eventually to be-
come one of the most important articles OF
human diet and largely influence the pop
ulaiion of half the globe.
The potato belongs to family OF plants
botanically known as the SOlanace@
which includes the deadly nightshade and
other poisonous plants. The juice Of its
own leaves and stems, and even OF the
skins of its tubers, is slightly poisonous
In lis native state the plant is small, and
the tu bers rarely exceed the size of wal
nut or common chestnut. They are also
of moist, waxy consistence, and have
| slightly bittlsh taste. The color OF The
blossoms is generally white, instead o
red and purple tues ofthe cultivated sorts
By the careful cultivation OF man, how
ever, these small waxy and bitter tuberi
have been swelled out into large, farins
ceous, pslatsble potatoes, one single stem
producing many pounds weight.

be nearly three times as high as the EiffeI

people. Electric elevators will be used
to carry the inhabitants half a mile to

cost a vast sum of money, but the archi

CONGRESS is branding "flled cheese"
as similar food fraud to oleomargerine.
The House has passed bill by vote OF
nearly three to one requiring manufactur-
ers to pay a tax of $500 annually, whole
sale dealers $75o, and retail dealers Sra
and imposes heavy fines for violating the
law. 1t requires the branding of
"filled cheese" as such and its sale only
from original packages, and dealers to
keep posted conspicuous sign of "Filled
Cheese sold here" Filled cheese Is made
of SKINNED milk and neutral lard from
the slaughter houses Of Chicago, and
and costs about four and a half cents a
pound to make. Its manufacture has
largely incr eased in the last few years
and not only was driving the Legitimate
article from the market but was bringing
disrepute on the latter in foreign markets
to which large quantities were formerly
exported. The bill taxing and branding
the filled article was passed bv the Re-
publicans Of the House, only eleven of
them voting against 1t, while the Demo
Gratis voted solidly against the bill. That
vote should return to plague the men
who cast it against such measure in be-
half of the large dairy interests of this
country and of the consuming public.

=. IT is a curious and significant fact that
in the last four weeks more corn than
wheat has been exported from the United
States. This apparent change III the re-
lative demand for these two great cereals
is encouraging for the farmers, as they
have much less competition from other
countries in corn than in wheat.-If we
could find a good foreign market for all
our surplus corn. il would be an inesti-
mable advantage.

IT is we'll to bear in mind that every.
thing that happens, happens of necessity
as the result of memorable law. This will
help you to bear the misfortunes of life
with more serenity. Persons of small in
formation and no philosophy are apt to
think that they, of all people, have the
hardest lot What seem to be the most
surprising chances, would, if all the
causes were known to you, appear just as
natural as the fact that seed time is fol.
lowed by harvest. "Hard luck is the
inevitable consequence of foolish and
stupid conduct. Good fortune is just as
certainly the result of prudent foresight
and co rrcct demeanor.

Washington Notes.

The resolution for an investigation OF
recent bond issues was taken mp in the
senate last Thursday, and Mr.. Hill made
a sensational and dramatic speech in op-
position. The New York senator defend
ed Secretary Carlisle and his administra-
ton of the treasury against loose insinua
tons of irregularity. He denounced the
resolution" and as containing "a mean
contemplate insiuuation." He asked
would any senator make direct charge,
and there was no reply.
He said the prevalence of charges OF
irregularity and wrong was shown by the
recent public allegations of Senator
Chandler that the friends of Mr.. McKin.
ley were conducting "a Doodle cam
paign." Mr.. Hill said he had nothing
to say against Mr.. Mckinley. He admir-
ed him for his courage. He says he Is
candidate instead of saying he is Sin the

Mr.. Hills experience was, he said,
that man who started ''in the hands OF
his friends" wound up "in the hands oi
the enemy"

ed Mr.. Hill, until read the Chandler
statement.
The Chandler charges were sent to the
desk and read In full.
Mr.. Chandler sat on the Republican
Ade, smiling as the reading proceeded.
After the reading had concluded MIR. Hill
went IN:
These charges have not been met, he
said. No answer had been submitted to
the serious accusations of Mr.. Chandler
Reflections on his motive were no answer
to the charges. Why, asked Mr.. Hill'
was there not an investigation
"Here are charges of corrupt use OF
money to buy up a presidential nomina-

charges of levy on the prot ected inter.
