VIII DD rorAroEg 90 EaoM :

WHERE DID POTATOES COME PROM
Nobody knows precisely where the
potato came from originally. It has
been found, apparently indigenous, in
many parts of the world. Mr.. Dar-
win, for instance, found it wild in the
Chonos Archipelago. Sir w. J.
Hooker says that it is common at VAL
paraiso, where it grows abundantly
on the sandy hills near the sea. In
Peru and other parts Of South Amer
lea it appears to be at home and it is
q noteworthy fact that Mr. Darwin
should have noted it both in the
humid forests Of the Chonos Archipel-
ago and among the Gillian mountains
where sometimes rain does not foil
for six months at a stretch. 1t was to
the colonists who Sir Walter Raleigh
sent out in Elizabeth's reign that We
are indebted for our potatoes
Herriot, who went out with these
colonists, and who wrote an account
of his travels, makes what may, per-
haps, be regarded as the earliest mem
ton of this vegetable. Under the
heading of "Roots," he mentions
what he calls the "openawk. " "These
roots" he says, "are round, some
large as walnut, others much larger.
They grow on damp soils, many hang
ing together as if fixed on ropes.
They are good food, either boiled or
roasted"
At the beginning of the seventeenth
I century this root was planted as a Gu
Eious exotic, in the gardens of the
nobility, but it was long ere it came
into general use. Many held them to
be poisonous, and it would seem not
altogether unreasonably so either.
The potato is closely related to the
deadly-nightshade and the mandrake,
and from it's stems and leaves may be
extracted a very powerful narcotic. In
England prejudice against it was for
a long time very strong, especially
among the poor.-Detroit Free Press.

A Sarcastic Sign.
tains

Floods in lowland countries have
their humorous side as well as their
tragic ones. A gentleman recently re-
turned from the West relates little
experience he had with a swollen river
in Missouri. The country had been a
veritable swamp for some days, and
after travelling through it on horse
back for q week doing business here
and there, he says he arrived at the
bank of the river. There was no way
to cross it except by swimming, 20, dis
mounting, he tied his clothes to the
horse, and drove him into the river,
swimming after him. Reaching the
other side, he dressed and continued
on his way. Before going twenty feet,
however, he came to the forks of the
road, and not knowing tue correct di-
rection he wanted to go, he looked
around for sign. There was none,
but iustAcross the river, near the spot
he had entered to swim across, he saw
a board nailed on a tree. Well, there
was nothing to do but to get in and
swim across again, as undo ubtedly that
was the sign containing the directions.
He swan across, and after climbing
up the bank he read the following
notice;
Five dollars fine for crossing this
bridge faster than a walk.
He says that under the ciroum-
stancs the sarcasm Of TINT sign put him
in bad humor for the rest OF the day.
