The Potato In Trance.

In France we find that the potato
was placed on the royal table in the
year 1910, but it was oarmentier, an
apothecary, who really introduced it and
did all he could to get it generally Gull
tivated, though not without the assist
ance of the government. In 1771 a high
prize was offered by the Academy Of
Besarcon for the discovery Of new
food which would FL tie place Of CO.
reals in case Of a famine. Parmentier
showed his potatoes, and Louis XVI gave
him 80 morgen Of land to plant them
on. When showing the first flowers Of
his potatoes, the king used them as q
buttonhole bouquet, Queen Marie An
toinette had them in the evening in her
hair, and at once princes, dukes and
high functionaries went to Parmentier
to obtain such flowers.
All Paris talked of nothing but pota-
toes and the cultivator of them. The
king said, France will thank you some
time hence because you have found
bread for the poor. And France has
not forgotten Parmentier, for saw my
self in 1882 potatoes growing on his
grave in the grand cemetery of Paris,
the Pere Ia Chaise, and l was assured
that they were planted there every year.
SO that his services might never be for
gotten by Frenchmen. journal Royal

On the occasion Of visit OF an Eng
lish junior football team to Glasgow to
play an eleven of Scottish Juniors, two Of
the members were taken down in rather
an unexpected manner.
They did not arrive in the city until
nearly IL p. m, but, despite the late
ness of the hour. two Of them expressed
their intention Of having look round.
The landlady Of the hotel where they
were staying. notherly old Scottish
lady. suggested that bed would be pref
cradle. especially as they were in a
strange city. closing her remarks by say
ing:
"And. besides, We might get lost and
took to the police station. and l should
have to pay saxpence each to get ye
back"
"Ist ali they charge to bail man
out?" inquired one Of the pair.
cit is ma what they charge to bail
man out" answered the good lady, as
she eazed ON the youthful countenances
Of the football players. but il is what
we have to pay for the recovery Of lost
children.
The youths went to bed. --Pearson's

How a Cold Wave Travels.

"Cold waves" so called--a compre-
hensive phase for which we are indebt-
ed to recent meteorological research and
investigation-are waves Of heavy air
following the rarefled track of Glow
barometer" and changing the conditions
from mild oppressiveness to clear, cold
skies and heavy air full of life giving
properties. These waves ere as marked
in their movements as veritable sea
waves, rolling over the land Just as
tidal wave rolls over the surface of the
ocean. Exactly where they originate is
4 mystery, but it is altogether probable
that their starting point is somewhere
ON that bleak plateau lying between
Hudson bay and Bering strait. When
the wave reaches the outposts Of civil
zation in the Rocky mountains, the tel
sgraph heralds the news over the whole
IF the United States, giving the impress
sion that the homo of the blizzard is in
che mountainous regions of the north
western states of our own country. When
these waves reach the great plains and
the Missouri and Mississippi valleys,
they spread out and cover the whole
country, striking the Atlantic coast in
streak extending from Bangor, Me-. to
Cape Hatteras. After taking it's plunge
into the ocean it RACES with great vio-
lence until it comes in contact with the
gulf stream. That great thermal current
modifies and tempers the blast so that it
is but a spring breeze by the time it
reaches the Bermndas 900 miles from
Charleston, G. C.-St. Louis Republic.

sacrifice at this season In order to make
room for spring goods. There will be cold
weather enough yet to excuse the purchase
of warm outside garment, and II 1t is
wisely selected 1t will last over to next
winter and be useful then.
Capes are worn as much as ever and
IRE made of all sorts OF materials. Both
double and single capes are seen, the for
mer being rather less full than the latter.
Plain cloth ones and those made of heavy
plaid goods are used for ordinary service,
while velvet, silk and satin are favored for
more ceremonious wear. Fur Is the trim
ming, par excellence; but, as a matter Of
fact, unless one can have good fur, 1t Is
better TO be entirely without 1t, as the cheap
imitation furs become defaced at once and
make an otherwise nice wrap appear
shabby. A great deal of soutache Is en-
)loyed on both capes and jackets, and
when 1t is fine forms one of the prettiest
of decorations.
Many jackets Of rough and bouole goods
are seen. They are bound with heavy
braid, are loose In front and double breast
I'd and are usually fastened with two or
three immense horn buttons This style Of
Jacket Is exceedingly serviceable for morn
ing and general wear.
Tho illustration shows very ugly and
very new jacket. 1t Is practically merely
revival Of the old shapeless sack. The
one pictured is made OF black plush and
is double breasted, being fastened with two
rows of paste buttons. A large collar and
revers of mink bring 1t into line with pre-
vailing ideas. The sleeves have haring
cuffs Of mink, and there Is a rippled stand
ing collar Of the same fur.

WEIGHT possIslurIes OF CARP.
II Well Fed and Trsated. They Attain 10
Enormous Size.


Big fish chronicles are always inter-
esting. Attention is just pow being be-
slowed upon the weight possibilities of
carp. These fish are VIGOROUSLY long
lived, aud, provided they are not caught
before they have had a chance of living
long, and, provided again, they have
few enemies and solicitous keepers to
supplement their natural food supply
regularly, it is only natural that they
should grow TO a relatively great size.
Under normal conditions, of course, they
do not exceed a few pounds, and, as it
is the normal conditions that prevail,
discussion Of what they might attain
may be regarded by not few as some
thing Of a futility. Still, they are some-
times placed in peculiarly favorable cir
cnmstanees, and, as the question is
really concerned with what weight they
can reach, it is not such futility after
all
We must go abroad for the biggest
carp of which angling history has to
tell. In private pond in Saxony there
used to be a pair Of breeding carp whose
united weight in Saxony measure q per
cent heavier than English) reached 81
pounds. The male was 43 pounds and
the female IS pounds. By good living
and attention they even exceeded this.
In II years the male Iut on pounds
ana the female 2 pounds. The pond
which afforded q home for these crea-
lures was famous one In one year
1900 pounds of carp we've taken from it
to say nothing Of tencl and jack. In
this same pond-which, ly the way, COW
cred II acres-the proprietor had left
several carp for breeding. Five of these
weighed l03 pounds Saxon, and the
largest Of the five, Spiegel carp, aged
16 years, drew in the scs 10 y pounds
English. The age of the two first alluded
to could not be estimated. They were on
the estate when it was purchased from
another family, 80 years before.
We have never to our personal knowl-
edge known a carp that exceeded %
pounds TO DO caught in English waters.
A brace which weighed 30 pounds was
once presented to the late Lord Eyre
mont. A curious thing about these big
fish is their tameness. Mr.. Pennell tells
us he has seen carp in the garden ponds
Of Rotterdam eagerly following visitors
about to be fed, while ore immense fell
low, with a side as broad as fitch Of
bacon and an appetite that seemed in
satiable, actually pursued him for near
ly 100 yards along the de of the bank
until his stock of breao had run out.
This fish, he adds, must have weighed
] 3 pounds. Their rate of growth has
been approximately computed to be
Q pounds during the first six years and
6 pounds before the tenth year.-Pall
Mall Gazette.

The hanson cab is perhaps tho most
convenient hackney carriage in the
world. 1t is light and handy to drive,
reasonably safe, and, to the trained Lon
donor. not too difficult to enter. But it
has one serious drawback, of which we
are reminded every ret urning winter.
This is that the seat is very liable to
get damp in wet weather. A mile or
two's sitting ON the soaked cushions
may easily result in rhe lmatism, sciati-
ca or n general chill, ending in more
or less serious illness.
The hanson cabman ia very amenable
to public opinion, and if the public gen.
orally wero TO take TO examining the
state of the cushions lefore engaging
the cabs it is probable that means
would be found to keep them dry. Even
as it is, the men take good deal of
pains, but are not too well seconded by
their "fares," who are very disposed to
get out, leaving tho doors open, where

The Russian Army In Napoieon'. Day.

The Russian army was strong in reg

Then, as now, they fought with barbar-

ANTARCTIC ICE.
It Differs Considerably FEsaa 1hss q sAs
Northern Regions.

northern uoglODo.
The difference in the formation Of
arctic and antarctic ice, as is we'll
known, is very great. While the north
ern bergs mostly consist Of a large ice
mass running up into number]ess towers
and arches resembling the mountain
peaks which surrounded the glaciers
from which they were torn. the antarc-
tic bergs are solid masses Of floating ice,
with perpendicular walls and an I'M
broken plateau on the top.
All showed distinctly whether they
were broken from the large southerly
barrier or discharged from the glaciers
of Victoria Land All the barrier bergs
had very distinct blue lines. across their
walls, indicating the annual growth by
snowfall. These lines were Of course
not to be found on the glacier ice. The
latter also showed more likeness TO the
northern ice than did the former. The
peaks and towers Of the arctic icebergs
are supposed to be formed BY the influ-
epce of ocean currents wearing away
the softer part of the ice mass under
water until the natural law Of gravita-
lion forces it to upset.
But why have the antarctic icebergs
different appearance? It Ia certain
that in the antarctic waters there are
also currents. Yet even icebergs that
have gone as far north as the south Of
New Zealand have all maintained tho
marks Of their antarctic origin. can
not see any other reason for this dissimi.
larity between the bergs Of the north
and those Of the south but that the arc
tic icebergs. as rule, must pass through
climes which in temperature rapidly
change from one extreme TO another.
and the icebergs take much longer time
in floating southwark than do the ant
arctic icebergs in advancing northward.
and thus, as a rule. the northern Ice
bergs exist much longer than those Of
the antarctic.--C. Z. Borchersvink In
Century.
