The Candid Pepys.

No man has ever yet succeeded in 2alnting an honest portrait of himself m an autobiography however sedu' !ously he may have set Co work about h. In spite of his candid purpose be omlts necessary touches and adds su pernuous ones. At times he cannot help draping his thought and the least shred of drapcry disguises It. It is only the diarist who accomplishes the feat of self portr0iture. and he, without any such end In view. does it uneon. sclously. A man cannot keep daily record of his comings and goiugs and the little Items that make up the sum of hls life and not inadvertently give himself away at every turn. He lays bare hls heart with a candor not poSsl- ble lo the self consciousness that in- eyltably colOrs prcmeditated revelation. Unknowmgly he wears his heart upon hls pen for daws to peek ut. While Mir Samuel Pepys was filling those small octave pages with his perplexing cipher he never once imagined that be was adding a photographic portrait Of himself Co the worlds gallery of i'm. mortals We are more intimately uc. Qualntcd with Mir. Samuel Pcpys, the inner man-his little mconncsscs and hls gencrosltlcs-thanw we are with half the persons we call our dear friends.- T. B. Aldrlch in Atlantic.

Punctuation.

In the earliest Latin Inscriptions and manuscripts no system of punctuation Is followed. The full point O was gradually introduced. being placed on the level. middle or top ot the letters. In the minusculc manuscripts of tho eighth, ninth and following centuries the period. on the line or high, wac first used: then the comma and semi colon and the inverted scmicolon, whose power was rather stronger than that Of the comma. Some say that the Caroline mInusculos of the ninth cen tury exhibit the note of Interrogation, for which the Inverted scmic0lon, which was gradually dropped, may have furnished the mark. The Greeks use the scmicolon as an Interrogation point In English Che colon is said to have been introduced about 1iSj, the comma about lJOl and the scmIcolon about lj1O. in s.

tire hill In the station fields, grown
from the same lot Of seed, but no spe-
clf1c cause for this dying was ascer-
tanned. In the fall Of 1900 the sclerotia
of the sterile fungus rhizoctonia was
discovered in abundance on tubers of
the Triumph variety and likewise upon
some other varieties at the station.
About June 1, 1902, Mr.. Alva Agee of
Gallia county called attention to seri-
GUS condition of his potatoes of the Car
man variety. 1t was found that from
10 TO II per cent of the hills of this va
rfety, grown from seed obtained from
the experiment station, was affected by
a disease Of the character briefly de-
scribed above. There was in many In
stances stunted growth, with rosettes
or rosette-like clusters of the upper
leaves, in others marked clustering of
the leaves without apparent retarda
ton of growth. Above ground the
stems showed occasional disco.ored
areas OF soft decay, while below the
soil surface were numerous LESSONS In
the form Of brown dead areas. The
leaf clustering is so conspicuous that
mere walking or driving through the
fields affords opportunities to detect a
large percentage of the affected plants.
Often in advanced stages of the trouble
an oblong "blaze'' more than an inch
In length may be found along the side
Of the potato stem.
From the standpoint of losses the ro-
settle disease Of the potato is similar to
the potato scab. Usually neither en-.
drely destroys the crop. but both may
diminish the yield and In that way the
market value. The scab also reduces
the market value by roughening the
tubers, An external cracking Of the
tubers may be referable to the attacks
or rhizoctonia. Probably from 6 to 20
per cent of diseased hills will cover the
usual amount of rosette disease where
prevalent. Nevertheless such proper
ton Of these plants should we'll repay
prevention, especially SO since 1t now
appears to be possible to reduce this
disease largely by using formalin. treat
ment instead OF the corrosive sublimate
method for the seed potatoes.-A. d

Peculiar Disease Resembling Scab
In Ats Effect ON the Crop.
Dating back at least three years we
have had in Ohio complaints Of the
early dying Of the potato vines before
the formation of many tubers. The
underground parts appear to be the
seat of the disease agency, while at the
same time excessive branching in some
examples and in general conspicuous
clustering of these branches or OF the
terminal leaf groups, together with
early dying of the entire tops, have
been the conspicuous above ground
characters. In 1900 one grower, who
had purchased seed Of the Enormous
variety from the station, suffered
very large loss from this disease. At
tention was at this time called to the
malady. but no satisfactory explana-
ton was secured.
In the same season there was a small
amount of dying of the vines of the en-

Virginia citizen. (Irvington, Va.) 1891-1921, 1903-01-09

WE WOULD like to call the atten-
ton of our Baltimore friends and
that city's press to great injustice
that is being done Virginians. About
one-half Of the year lady takes her
life in her own hands in attempting
to traverse Light street, or Pratt in
the vicinity of Light. The terrible
crush of traffic near the wharves
does not seem at all important in the
eyes of Baltimore's Council. Vir-
ginians have largely built up this
part of the city and have certainly
done enough for Baltimore to merit
more consideration at its hands.
Light street in front of the wharyes
should be extended to the first
alley back. At the same time
the street car lines should be
removed from Pratt street, or that
street widened In some manner. I'm
less some such changes are made the
time is not far distant when many
Tidewater Virginians will seek other
marts, where life is not SO endangered
and where their patronage is more
highly priced.
