About Potatoes.

There is probably no crop largely grown that yields better profit than the potato crop. Yet the per acre yield throughout the country is small. due very largely to poor methods in han ding the soil. The potato aceommo- dates itself to many varieties of soil and to all kinds of culture. Perhaps this fact is taken advantage of to too great an extent, and not enough care used in any part of the process of pro- ducing the crop When we consider that more than LOGO bushels of pota- toes have been raised on an acre in diff ferent parts of the country, and that less than 100 bushels is the ordinary yield, we are forced to believe that we are not using all of our possible ad' vantages.
 The first requisite is well-prepared land, drained if it so requires. This good preparation means blowing deep enough to admit of the fullest growth Of root. Whatever may be said against deep blowing yet it certainly has a tendency to send the roots down be- yond the summer drouth, which is often a thing Of great importance The writer remembers little corner in a potato patch in which coal ashes had been thrown. The ground thus in- creased in depth gave moisture to the plants when i'll all other parts of tho patch they were dying for lack of moisture. The probable reason was that in that part the soil was so porous that the roots had been able to strike deep and to reach into a stratum of continuous moisture This is not to advocate the use of coal ashes as a fer Cilizer for potatoes, but to Illustrate the principle by which a loose soil permits the penetration of roots.
 As 10 hilling there is great diversity of opinion. We know that 1t is be- coming quite popular to advocate the doing away of the old style of hill- ing, and 10 say that the idea Of hi1l- Ing was a barbarous one, originating among the bogs of Irelald The whole settlement of the question must de- penG on circumstances. Some varieties have to be hilled anyway, unless we expect to have some of the potatoes on top of the ground The question of moisture runs into that of milling A certain man some years ago abandoned the milling process and planted all of his potatoes on the level. It happened to be an exceptionally wet summer and the entire crop was damaged by lying too much in the water Killing would have done sume good in this case.

The bodyguard is composed Of 120 men, picked for their size and bearing. They wear long red coats, which reach to their boot-tops above their knees. Their variegated tHrbans. mainly red are of great size Their many minor trappings aid in rendering them notable feature of any scene in which they are placed. Except upon occasions of state. the carriage entrance to the palace is un- der the grand staircase and on the ground floor. As you step from your carriage you see othe9 gorgeous men of the bodyguard and knots of serv- ants of the household lounging in the enormous hal. 1 wish I had inquired the number of servants in the vice roy's employ, because they are so nu- merous that when one dimes at the palace they seem to move in clouds around the table I visited a native prince one day in the temporary quar- ters where he was halting. and he had siXty-fve men to look after his com forts.

 Philadelphia Inquirer: Odd bits of change thoughtlessly left by customers form no inconsiaerable part of the income of cashiers in certain business establishments, notably restaurants, saloons, cigar stores and similar places where during many hours of each day, there is a steady rush of patrons. T get $I5 a week salary said a cashier. and l always count on an additional 8. or 50 cents per day, through for gotten change. l do not consider that l am doing anything dishonest, either. because I always make an effort to at- tract the customers attention to the fact that he is leaving his change be- hind. Nine cases out of ten l succeed. even # ] have to send waiter to fol- low the man clear out into the street But there are enough of the tenth cases to make my receipts foot up all of the sum weekly I have named.

The next day they don't care, or at least a majority of them do not, to speak about such small matter, the overlooked change seldom being more than five or ten cents, and I am just. so much ahead.

Rapoieon's Strange Plan of 0oaquess.
 A German historian is said to have discovered Napoleon's $ original plans for the invasion Of Great Britain in the year 1789. and accident wills if Ahat this discovery was made at the same time that the French agitation for a submarine tunnel connecting France fvia Spain. with her African possessions is renewed
 One hundred years ago Napoleon was still General Bonaparte. He had humbled Italy. and had captured the pope; free Switzerland was vassal Of France Then the general set out 10 be lord of the sea.
 He decided to tow an army over to the British coast on great floating forts with large bodies of troops lined up n battle order. They were then to fight their way ashore and land on the coast without resort to lighters. The troops were to march ashore in the order of their regiments, preceded and backed up by the artillery.
 1t will be remembered that Napoleon has often declared that he would have been as great an admiral as he was a general with half a chance. But, be added the French are useless as sail ors. They are too fussy. too eXcitable. At sea one needs a calm mind, quiet fortitude, and energy"
 V To many on this side Of the Atlantic, the words engine house" marked on Napoleen's plans, are of peculiar in- terest. Fulton, the American inventor, launched his first experimental steam boat on the Seine in 1903, but his con- nection with the French government dates from 1797, when he offered his submarine torpedo boat to France. Failing in this, he turned his attention 4o steam navigation. From his draw fngs. it would seem that Napoleon meant to try steam navigation with his ferries one hundred years ago.
 No doubt Napoleon used Fulton g plans. but there was still another American inventor at his service John Fitch. of Connecticut-who built the first unsuccessful sidewheelers in 1788 to I790, and three years later went to Paris to sell improved plans for steam navigation to the French government.
 Bonaparte's ferries were built in sprest. in Cberbourg and in Boulogne' but when Napoleon inspected them, in the spring of 1798, his faith in the new fangled marine monsters wavered. lie abandoned the proposed invasion of the British Isles and instead started on his famous expedition to Egypt.

 prson who neglected to either burn of bury the parings Of his finger nails, says Womans Life. Among the He hrews it was the custom to pare the nails on a Friday, and the operation had to be conducted in a certain man. ner The little finger on the left hand had first to be operated on, then the middle snger, followed by the fourth finger. thumb and forefnger. The nail of the middle finger of the right hand had next to be cut; then came the thumb, then the forefnger and after ward the fourth and little finger. When fortune telling was more in vogue than at present the shape and appearance of the finger nails were looked on as having reference to ones destiny. The nails were first rubbed over with a mixture of wax and soot, and. after be- ikg thus prepared, were held so that fbe sunlight fell upon them. On the horny, transparent substance were supposed to appear signs and chafac- tefs from which the future could be interpreted. Persons. too. with eer- tain descriptions of nails were suppos- ed to possess certain characteristics For instance. a man with red and spot ted nails was of fiery, hot-tempered disposition, while pale, lead colored pails denoted melancholy tempera- ment. Ambitious and quarpelsome people were distinguished by narrow nails. while lovers of knowledge and liberal sentiment had round shaped malls. Coneeited, obstinate and nar- TOW minded persons were possessed of small nails: lazy indolent individuals ok feshg nails, and those of a gentle, tYn1d nature of broad mas. Those persons whose nails grow into the flesh at the sides are generally lnxuriously inclined. while these with very pale nails are subject to both bodily and mental suffering

AN OLD MAP OF PALESTINE.
Valuable Find Made In the British

 Valuable Find Made in the British
 Museum.
 4 map that is destined to prove of practical benefit to Bible students and scholars generally was recently dis covered hidden in the midst Of a lot Of musty manuscripts found in the British museum. The map shows 4 plan of Jerusalem made in the seventh century and contains as well the loca- tion of every important place in Pales- tine. The drawings were made by Marine Sanudo the elder, d Venetian nobleman, who made five journeys to the holy land to perfect his design His aim was to arouse the ChristianseaoR Europe to the importance of Palestine and to urge them to another crusade against the Moslem invaders who had captured Jerusalem in 636, under the command of Khalif Omar. The old map is carefully drawn to corresponds to some scale of measurement which the discoVerers have not yet been able to determine. Palestine is ai- vfded into eighty-one equal spaces in. length and twenty-three in width, Many of the identifcatlons Of the his toric spots Of sacred and profane his tory, the scenes of various battles and the tombs of the prophets and kings. for instance, are better placed in the Italian map than in more modern plans of the holy land. The map. of course, is some hundreds Of years re- moved from the actual time of the Sa- ytor's life upon earth but it is nearer tRe destruction Of Jerusalem by some l,2oO years than the world Of today Even the latest books issued on Pales- tine have very vague knowledge Of the actual sites of the holy places. 50 that the map Of the old Italian is destined to furnish light for a subject that is seen at present only through a glass darkly.

He tells also of cows knocked over by a single blow from the forepaw of bear; but per haps the most surprising story is of an occurrence that he witnessed three summers ago.
