A TERRIBLE HEREDITY.

A special study of hereditary drungen-
ness has been made by Professor Pelin;tnn
of Bonn University, Germany. His method
was to take certain individual cases, a gem
Grafton or two back. He thus traced the
careers of children, grandchildren and
grea gIandchi dren in all paris Of the pre-
sent German empire, until he was able to
present tabulated biographies of the hum
dreds descended from some original drunk
ard. Notable among persons described by
Professor Pellmann is Frau Ada Jurke,
who was born in 1,40, and was drunkard,
a thief and a tramp fer the last forty
years of Ter ife, which del in l co Her
descendants numbered S34, of whom l09
were traced in local records from youth
to death. One hundred and six Of the
700 were born out of wedlOck. There were
IA beggars and 62 more who lived from
charity. or the women, Isl led disreputabe

years this one family rolled up a bill OF

THE PRICE OF POTATOES.

NEW YORK. Oct 20-Not since 1892 has
the potato crop Of the United States proved
so nearly a failure. says the American Ag-
riculturist. in It's final report of the yield
of 1897 Compared with the liberal crop of
last year there is an apparent falling off Of
nearly ~ per cent in tonnage and the quail
ity OF the whole is greatly deficient. County
and township returns from all the leading
potato growing states, show the yield Of
potatoes to be 1740OO,OOO bushels, against
245OOO,O 900 bushels in 1896; 2S6 coo. 600 bushels
in 1895; 1856, 100000 bushels in 1894 and only
1550OO,OOO bushels in the short crop of 1892
The average rate of yield per acre is placed
at ga bushels, taking the country at large
against Sc bushels in 1896, 50 in 1895 and g.
in 1892.
From this it appears that the potato
crop is comparatively failure. We
learned some weeks ago that the yield
of tubers Of the whole world was a
BILLION BUSHELS SHORT. Under
proper conditions, and with sufficient
money supply, potatoes today, in Min
nesota, ought to be worth $1OO a bushel.
We raised several hundred bushels up
on our farm in Dakota county, and the
other day we made inquiry to find out
what we could get for them in the
neighboring town of Hastings, which is
our market. We we're surprised that,
notwithstanding such statements as the
