Although nearly all the famous por-
traits of Mr.. Sargent. R. A., have the
air of having been dashed off in a moment
of inspiration. they are, as a matter of
fact, produced with that infinity of pains
which is said to be a sign of genius Sit
tiers are apt to find Mr.. Sargent a most
exacting artist, and he has been known
to demand as many as a hundred sittngs
for single portrait. He is, however,
quite capable of the dashed off in a mo-
ment" style, as the following new and
true anecdote will show:
One morning not long ago he was wait
ing in his studio for the arrival of lady
who was to give the painter the fortieth
and last sitting for her portrait She
was not due for an hour and a half, and
as Mr.. Sargent waited he grew suddenly
dissatisfied with the almost finished pOr-
trait. Selling a rag he wiped out every
trace of his work, and set himself furi-
ously to repaint the lady entirely from
memory. BY the time the sitter arrived
the picture was finished, and it is said to
be one of Mr.. Sargent's most brilliant
canvases. What one chiefly admires in
this incident is not the painters mar
velOus facility, but his courage in de.
strOying the work Of weeks on the chance
of being able to produce a more lifelikC
portrait in an hour and a half.-London

NEW VARIETIES OF POTATOES.

A reader at Waterloo Ia. requests us
to state, in order to settle a dispute.
how new varieties of potatoes are orig
mated. In reply we say that the seed.
which may be found in the potato balls
which grow on the vines like tomatoes.
Is the source of new varieties, and the
only source. New varieties of currants.
gOoseberrics. strawberries. apples-in
fact, most fruits-are obtained in the
same manner, while the propagation OF
any given variety is accomplished by
cuttings, tubers. runners. CRAFTS, etc
Some seedsmPn make Il speciality OF
originating new varieties of potatoes in
the manner described and produce
thousands of seedlings, no one of which
may be worth propagating for the one
that is. Potatoes of any variety which
may be of value and become popular
usually have a run of from 10 to 20
years, when they seem to run out and
disappear Our older readers will re.
call the time when the Pinkeye, West
ern Red, Cowhorn and Neshannock
were each standard varieties, but now
not to be found.

We are asked why more turnlps are
not raised as stock food in the territory
comprised in the corn belt. The eli.
matte condition which insures good
crops of corn are simply fatal to the
turnip, which must have cool, moist
climate to insure its perfect develop
ment. Thus England and New Zealand
naturally become the great turnip pro
ducing countries. The best turnipS
produced in America come from Can
ada. We do not regard the inability
to raise turnips as a misfortune. The
crop involves much hand labor, anC
corn ensilage will give all and more
than can be obtained from any roo
crop, with infinitely less trouble in pre-
/ pairing and feeding.

THREE WISE MEN.

Three fake long range weather
prophets have lately assumed to ex-
plain the cause of the July drought and
abnormally heated term. No two as
sign the same cause. One lays it TO
Jupiter, another to the removal Of the
forests and n third to spots on the sun.
They know nothing about the matter,
and are simply blowing off to obscure
the fact that nary one of them pre-
dicted the conditions in advance. In
the ancient days there were magi
scothsayers and dream mOngers pass
ing as wise men. and in these latter
times we have men performing the
same sort of antics and necrOmancy
degrading science as q tool with which
to work. And there are just as man!

In the days of our grandparents,
when there were no stoves and when
the cooking was done before the open
fire and in the outside bake oven, bak-
ing day was an important date in the
domestic economy of all homes. Then
it was that the goodwife did up all
the baking for a week, and so the
loaves of rye and injun bread, the pot
of pork and beans, the batch of PIES
and cakes. We're all prepared and baked
at one heating of the oven, and right
choice, good food it all was. Today,
with modern stoves in partnership with
the frying pan and the baking powder
can, nothing is provided ahead and
each meal has to be cooked indie
pendently, greatly increasing the labor
of the hOusekeeper. We believe thai
the old way, which compelled baking
day once a week, was a good thing
good for the hOusekeeper and good fol
the health of the family.

SHOULD THE THIRD WELL BI

PLUGGEDf
We are asked as TO the equities in
the following case: Two men had arte-
sian wells. which supplied their places
with plenty of flowing water. a third
man. nPighbOr. thought he would
have a well also. He struck a good
flow of water. and when his well got
to work the water stopped flowing III
his neighbOrs' wells. We are asked II
this man had right TO obtain water at
his neighbors' expense i'm this manner
We think If it could be cOnclusivelI
proved that the putting down of thu
third well was the sole cause of til,
failure of the other two an injunction
would hold against the owner Of well
40. 3. the rule in law being that thu
prior appropriation and use Of the
water conferred title thereto which the
law would protect This rule applies
/ in all irriGating matters. but in this
case there would he trouble i'm estab

! wells first drilled was caused by the
opening of well No. 3. If this case ever
got into court the lawyers would make
more out Of it than would the con

New York, Aug 27.-According to a
special cable dispatch to one OF last
nights papers, the man carried a re-
volver and dirk He lay hidden in
part of the gardens through which the
Pope traverses daily. His Holiness
was being carried from his private
apartments in a chair to where his
landau waited to convey him to the
pavilion of Leo w., when a Swiss
guardsman heard a noise in the shrub
berry some distance away. The So
der investigated and discovered the
assassin, whom he placed under arrest
At the rooms of the Swiss guards
where the man was taken. the revolver
and knife were found. The man said
he had been hidden all morning in the
Vatican gardens and expected to have
no trouble in killing the Pope.

One reader writes that he carried out
the suggestion made in these notes by
us last May of planting a few acres Of
sweet corn and sowing the field with
rape at the time of the last blowing as
August and September feed for hogs
and that he finds himself with an album
dance Of the best of food for his hun
bred head of hogs at a time when if
he did not have it he would be obliged
to buy high priced corn to feed them.
He adds that this one suggestion was
worth hundred dollars to him.

We noted lately at least ten tons of
very nice bright oat straw just thrash
ed which the owner, farm tenant,
had allowed to pile in an irregular heap
from the machine so that the fall rains
would spoil it all. This straw was
worth at least $50 had it been well
stacked. This same man will be giving
a chattel mortgage next winter to get
money to pay his taxes and a grocery
bill, as we happen to know.

When working among bees, one
should be very steady in moving about
and opening the hives. Never open
them with a snap and crash. 1t makes
the bees very irritable to be jerked
about. 1t sometimes happens that some
of the farm stock get in the apiary and
Overturn a hive or two, and Of course
the bees are aroused and sting the ami
mails. Perhaps the quickest way to
subdue the bees is to throw pail OF
water over them.

While the cost will vary somewhat
according to local conditions, it is, as
general thing, possible to put shredded
corn fodder in the stack or barn at a
cost of about $3.50 per ton, and when
so secured it is by common verdict
worth as much per ton as is the best
clover and timothy hay. This is assum-
ing that the corn was cut at the proper
time and properly cared for before
ghredding.

A war to the knife and the knife to
the hilt is now in progress between the
homesteader or actual settler and the
stock barons Of the range country.
with the government wholly on the
side of the hOmesteader. A very few
settlers can destroy the value of a
large cattle range. and there is little
doubt that so far as all public lands
are concerned the day of the cattle
baron is ended. While this may result
in making beef higher in price, it is
still good thing all round.
