Horne Has His Innlne.

The horse Is not extinct yet, but
persons in the horse business report
that he is scarce anc costly. They
say that in the neighbn.hood of New
York IS horses have been bringing $40
or 500. and $50 horses $3.50 or 5000
The chief reason for tie dearth given
by dealer quoted in oae of the neigh
borhood papers Is electric scare" 1t
may be remembered tlat it was given
out two or three years ago that all the
horse work was soor to be done by
electricity. says Haryers Weekly. The
farmers and breeders, it seems. took
these assurances sc much to heart that
fewer colts were raised. Then the
Spanish war put the government in the
market for horses and mules; the Bonr
war has made a market for 10000
more; the horse distemper early in the
summer killed some: the extreme heat
killed many more. and. altogether,
horses are scarce. Evidently it Is 60
ing to take time to wean humanity
from horses. 1t cant be done in
single generation even though Edi-
sons storage battery turns out to be

DANGER IN THE POTATO.
Under Certain Conditions II IL Found
That the Tubcrs Are fOison-
Gus Food.

Prof, Langworthy, of the agricultur-
al department, in the forthcoming year
book, dealing with the possible dam
gers from eating potatoes, will say:
"Although under ordinary circum-
stances potatoes are unquestionably
a wholesome food for most persons, ILL
ness is sometimes caused by eating
them. There are undoubtedly some
persons in health with whom potatoes
do not agree, just as there are those
who cannot eat Strawberries without
distress. This is due to personal
idiosyncrasy and not the harmful char
acter of the food.
Preference cannot be made here to
the conditions of i'll health in which po.
tatoes or other starchy foods are for.
bidden, since this is subject which
pertains to the practice of medicine
rather than the subject of dietetics.
Cases of acute poisoning by potatoes
are by no means unknown. So far as
can be learned the abnormal symptoms
in such cases were caused by the pres
ence of solanin in the potatoes.
several years ago 30I soldlers IN
battalion of the Austrian army showed
symptoms of solanin poisoning. The
potatoes used for food were examined.
Those which were fresh contained a
small amount of solanin, while those
which had sprouted contained much
more, still larger amounts being found
in the sprouts than in the potatoes
themselves. The potatoes undoubted-
ly caused the poisoning in this case.
potatoes a year old which have lain
in cellar and shriveled and small po-
tatoes which have sprouted without
being planted are considered especial
~ dangerous. and should not be eaten.
If perfectly fresh potatoes contain any
solanin, the amount is so small it does
not cause HARM

A PRETTY LEGEND.
It Tells How the Goldcnrod Was
Changed from Snow White
to yellow.

According to legendary lore the
godenrod was once snow white, 1t is
said that great fields of these white
flowers nodded gracefully to and fro
rs the winds swept over them, and
were quite happy until the wild how-
ers of brilliant hues began to ridicule
them.
What tame, pale, uninteresting
creatures" said the tiger lilies.
Truly they are said the scarlet
sage; they are not worth looking at"
Other wild flower neighbors made
like remarks, and cast scornful
glances at the white blossoms, until
the latter bowed their heads and wept.
I'VE are poor, colorless beggars, -
they walled, while all our neighbors
are clothed in gorgeous apparel"
The Autumn Wind knew why the
white flowers were grief-stricker, and
he resolved to help them. Calling to
him the many-hued fairies that live
in the rainbow he told them how the
white flowers had been ridiculed by
their neighbors.
Leave it all TO u.s." said the fairies,
'and soon the ill-treated ones shall
have cause to rejoice"
Away sped the fairies to the end of
the rainbow, where, as you have heard,
there is great pot of magic gold dust
Together the fairies lifted the gold
dust. FASTENED back to the field and
meadows and sprinkled it lavishly over
the dropping, heart-sick flowers, now
sunk in sound slumber.
When morning came the sun looked
down upon a gorgeously arrayed arm y
of godenrod, and so great was the
surprise of their wildfower neigh.
bors that some of them withered and
died from sheer envy.
But, rejoicing in their good fortune
the goldenrods proudly held up their
heads and faithfully kept guard until
the icy Winter Wind, in hoarse voice
bade them go to sleep.

FIGHT OVER NEW CAPITAL.
Prospect of an Animated Contest
over Selection in Aus-
trnIin.

There is still great uncertainty as
to what city will be selected as the
capital of the new Australian common
wealth. Melbourne, Sydney and Bal
larat are the most spicuously mem
toned, and each is favored by strong
party. Under the terms of the con-
federation Melbourne must be the tenn
porary metropolis for five years at the
very least. Everything possible is be-
ing done by the Melbourne local au-
thorities to make the commonwealth
government and parliament comfort
able in their city and reluctant to de-
part. Their presence not only confers
prestige, but circulates considerable
quantity of cash.
1t is Sir William Lyme who, as home
secretary, has control of all the pre-
liminaries incidental to the selection
of the site of the capital of the an
tipodes. Some predict prolonged
controversy over this matter, as Sgd
ney is still swayed to large extent by
local considerations, one of which is
that the new federal capital must on no
account be located where it might in
terfere with Sydney's commercial SUI
premacy or paramount Importance as
the parent British settlement in the
southern seas. Sir William Lyme is
himself a strong Sydneyite in this
sense.
Ballarat seems to be the first choice
of the rural members of parliament.

The cruiser Cincinnati's handsome
silver service, which had been lost
for two years, was found the other
day at the Norfolk navy yard. 1t
seems that at the outbreak of the
Spanish-American war the Cincin-
natl was ordered to Norfolk to be
stripped of all her superfuous be-
longings. In the hurry of unloading
the silver service--a gift to the
cruiser from the city of Cincinnati
was delivered to the navy yard Off
cials without the customary giving
of receipt, and it was stored away
until it should be called for. Quite
recently the nuvy yard people dis.
covered the nature of the contents
of the box in its possession, and no.
titled the navy department.
