The Potatoes Anniversary.

The present year is the three hun
dreth anniversary of the planting of tn"
potato in England. The seed brougb
from America by Sir Walter Raliegl
was FIRST planted in 1897 iu the gardel
of Gerard, the botanist. For 200 years
the use of the tuber was confined to th
80 called higher classes 1t was moi
until the close of the last century that
it became q common article of food
among the masses, To the improve
ment of no other vegetable has been
given such solicitous study In this re
spect the United States has taken the
lead, aud the various sorts which have
originated here are accepted throughout,
the world as representative of the high
est attainment in quality, rapidity OF
growth and size. In some directions
this has led to the loss of distinctive
favor and texture, as in the case of the
Bermuda potato. Through the general
use Of the seed of our early varieties,
the tuber now grown in Bermuda ha,
undergone radical change. The merit
of the Bermuda potato was due to lie
firm, close, waxy Hesb. which peculiar
ity adapted it to certain forms Of Gull
nary treatment.
The substitution of American seed
has completely changed its quality. 3,
that now, in texture and flavor, it is the
same as our early varieties. The efforts
of cultivatprs appear to be directed to-
ward the production Of potato frou
which 6rmness and closeness of flesh ART
eliminated, aud to the substitution o
dry, Houery consistency. Formerly ther'
was marked difference between n new
and an old potato. but now, apart from
the color and the cuticle, it is Difficult
to distinguish the one from the other
So universal has become the use OF thu
seed of American varieties Throughout
the world that only through the colo
of the skin, due to difference of soil. i
it possible to detect whether potato il
grown here or in foreign country. TIL,
Irish tuber is imported into this country
for special uses. Some amateurs thinl
that no other is fit to bake in the skin
Apart from its black covering, due L
the peat earth in which it is planted, j
in no way differs from our varieties. A
few years ago, before American SEED
was so universally employed in Ireland
the Irish potato. raised from what may
be called native chits. was noted for
special aavorkaud texture of flesh. Tha
is no longer the case.-N. Y. San

Chinese Royalty.

Tho present emperor of China is Huang Hsu, who succeeded to the throne Jan. l2, 1875. He was one of the young
 est monarehs who ever ascended the throne, being at the date of accession 6p 3 years old. There have been 22 dy 'sties in China, the royal history of L country being better ascertained tL.4l that of any other which reaches back to ancient times. With some few breaks, the Chinese have bad regular succession of sovereigns since Fuhhi, N 10, the Chinese say, reigned from B. ( 3852 to 2737. According to Chinese era .ition, Fuhhi was no less person age than the Noah of the Scriptures, who after leaving his ark on Mount Ararat, travelled east and founded the Chinese empire. Chinese history asserts that several of their early monaroEs ruled for over a century each; one reign ins over China for 115 years, another for 102, another for 100 and so on. It IS considered probable by historians that shese figures represent rather dynasties than the reigns of individual sovereigns. China has had in almost direct descent, with no more than two oT three breaks in the history of the royal family, 83 sovereigns, 92 emperors, Tartar rulers, $ Mogul emperors and expresses.

 There are many things of interes, along the line of railroad between Pm. ebla and Oaxaca, Mexico, but few at tract the northern traveller mora thor Inc station agent at Etla. This is Cor. ofa Blanca, young woman with hon. est brown eyes and a great mass of Wavy black hair. Etla, her post of dnt7, IS the place where the Indians flock from the mountains for 100 mileq around for their annual feasts. and also fae shipping point for the big haejendas Iii the fertile valleys among these same Lolntains. When tho train stoDs at Etla ln the dark, young woman in Wh.te, for Senorita Coneha dresses to match her surname, stands at the door or the express car, lantern in hand : heoklng the packages on the big reeeipt nook. When the freight train stops. she a.ss in and out of the long line of cars. telling the brakemen what to take and what to leave. She goes from one end of the train to the other, seeing that no mis. takes are made. The bareheaded girl in white dress is full of business. She wastes no time on empty words. The trainmen respect her. She does eyery- thing about the station but handle the baggage. There are plenty of stout Mexicans of the other sex hanging about for that work
 Concha Blanca is so we'll esteemed by the management of the road that she has been twice promoted, until now she has one of the most important stations under her care. She does all the tele. graphing, besides attending to the re- ceiving and shipping of freight. It was her knowledge of telegraphing that got the young woman her first recognition. Her father and two brothers were oper- ators. She learned to use the key. A station w@e given to her where there was not much to do besides the tele- graphing Her aptitude for railroad work attracted the attention of General Manager Morcom, and the promotion followed Goncha Blanca lives i'll the station. Her mother keeps house for her, and a younger sister sits at the tele- graph table learning the vocation of the new woman in Mexico.

Thirty thousand elk are wintering ill the Jackson Hole country of Wyoming, according to the estimate of the game warden, who says that in one herd which be saw the other morning there were 15, GOO of them, stretching over a distance of six miles. The sight, he said, surpassed nything he had ever seen and utterly amazed him. The elk trail over the snow was like flint ice, he said, so hard had the snow been packed down. The animals are seen by thousands any morning moving along the Snake rive' from the Great swamp to the Gros Ven tre hills. and at night the walls of the calves straying from their mothers may be heard.

WHICH DlEDWoRTH S2o, ,ooo?

Goldsmith, Who Was Burned With His
 Wife, Was Insured For Her Benefit.
 There is going to be an interesting litigation ill New York city over $20, . GOO of insurance on the life of Aaron Goldsmith taken out in favor of his wife. He, his wife and their three ohil- dren were burned to death. His brother, Louis Goldsmith of Chateaugay, N. Y., was appointed administrator of his es. tate by Surrogate Arnold on Monday. Goldsmith left two other brothers ard a niece.
 The question is whether Goldsmith or his wife died first. Relatives of his wife contend that the money comes te them and that the administrator of her husband will haye nothing to adminis- ter upon, and they say they will have an administrator of her estate appointed shortly to take charge of the insurance money.
 Counsel who have been consulted about the case say that under common law decisions tho law would presume that the husband, being probably stron- ger than woman, would survive the wife. Decisions which are pointed out in support of this view were cases where man and woman had gone down with @ vessel. It was said that there is no such case on record with regard to a fire and that the reasoning applicable to drowning would not pertain to fire. The proximity of each of the persons to the advance of tho flames the character of the clothing they wore and their physical characteristics, it was said, would also play their parts. Moreover, there may be evidence given to show that the woman did, in fact, survive her husband. Relatives of the woman say they believe they can prove that the woman was heard to scream after the husband had been apparently overcome by the flames. New York Sun.

 Kootenai District.
 ", r. Carson of Tacoma, travelling passenger agent of the Canadian Pacific, and G. MeL. Brown. tho company's district passenger agent at Vancouver, have just returned from extended trips through tho famed mining districts of the Kootenai country and report the greatest activity, notwithstanding the advent of winter
 The prospeotors are sticking little closer to the camps on account of the snow, said Mir. Carson, "but other- wise there is as much work going on as if there were not from two to three feet of snow on the ground. The Kootenai is such wonderful country that if half the truth were told of it's mineral wealth 1t would not be credited. A recent find that has excited a great deal of atten. tion is the discovery of an actual ooppes spring, now known as the Red Blanket, ill the Lilloeet district, just north of Speneer's bridge on the Canadian Pa oific. The water in solution runs 59.T pounds of copper to 200 gallons, and 10000 gallons day come tumbling down the mountain side This is the only real copper spring that is known of with the exception of one in Idaho, and that only flows pounds of the metal to the 100 gallons of water.

P, prominently known in Wales, Australia and South Africa thro ugh his extensive mining interests, heard of tho Red Blan- ket copper spring prior to his sailing from Vancouver with party of mining experts for Japan and China, Dec. 8.

Addition eo YeIIo xstone Park.

Captain Anderson. superintendent of the Yellowstone National park, says that an effort is being made to secure legislation from congress which would add the Jaekson's Hole country to the park. The area which it was proposed to take in is about 50 miles square and contains Jaekson's lake and the Three Futon mountain peaks. It is rich in natural scenery and would, in the opin- ion of the captain, add materially to the parks attractiveness. Senator Car ter of Montana has drafted bill for that purpose, which has the indorse- ment of the senators from Montana and Idaho, but the Wyoming senators have not yet been won over. Omaha Bee.
