Sl1vers In Potatoes.

In peeling potatoes it is often OBJ
served that the outer flesh Of the tuber
contains brown slivers extending from
the surface inward to the depth Of
about one-eighth of an inch. These sliv-
ers do no harm except to slightly injure
the appearance Of the cooked potato
Usually their location Is indicated ex-
ternally by minute puncture in the
skin. In some cases each silver is sur
mounted by pronounced elevation,
and tubers so affected are called pim-
ply potatoes.
The slivers and accompanying PIN
pies are caused by minute white
worms, the larvae of the common flea
beetle, which bore into the tubers while
they are growing. Naturally slivers
are most common in potatoes in locali-
ties where flea beetles are most abun-
dant. 1t is likewise plain that to pre-
vent the appearance Of slivers in the
tubers it is necessary to prevent flea
beetles from attacking the tops This Is
best accomplished by spraying the
plants very thoroughly with bordeaux
mixture containing paris green at the
rate Of about twelve ounces to fifty gal
Ions Of bordeaux. The same treatment
prevents blight and the ravages Of po
tato bugs.-F. G. Stewart in American
Agriculturist.

Korean Schools.

In Korean schools the master is
dressed in white, generally wears spec
tacles and always has rod in order
that the child may not be spoiled. He
gathers his flock around him in the
most fatherly manner and deals out
Justice with an unsparing hand. The
scholars are dressed in their best, but
must study without their shoes. These
latter are kept in sight Of the master
at all times. The course of study is not
very extensive to look at, but when it
comes to studying the Korean language
through the medium of Chinese it must
be confessed that the beginning Of
course Is difficult. The scholar is first
taught the name and meaning Of Chi
nese characters and then their meaning
In Korean, just as though he were
obliged to learn English through the
medium of the Greek alphabet. Stu
dents keep up steady droning noise
as each one goes OH repeating his por-
tion Of the tasks aloud, regardless of
what Is going on round him.

Chinese Anatomy.

Chinese physicians have some curious
notions in regard to human anatomy.
The truth is they know nothing about
anatomy as that word is understood by
American physicians, their principal
authority OH the subject being a work
entitled "Neitjing," Of which Huang
TT, who lived from 2G97 to 2597 B. c.,
Is said to be the author
According to Chinese physicians, the
human heart occupies almost the same
position as Is assigned by European
and American physicians to the stom-
ach, and bile, they maintain, has its
origin in the back of the head. They
also claim that a human being has 365
bones, which correspond to the 365
days of the year; that man has
twelve ribs and woman fourteen and
that mans skull is composed of eight
and woman's six pieces.
Moreover, they say that in every hu-
man body there are twenty-five parts
which are important and fifty-six
which are unimportant, and they lay
great stress on the necessity Of taking
good care Of the important parts.

AntH' Magnetic Nesta.

Port Darwin, in South Australia,
boasts OF some Of the most remarka BILE
ants nests in the world. They are
known as magnetic" nests, for the
simple reason that they are without
exception built in due north and
south direction. Consequently trav-
eler journeying through the district In
which they abound may readily direct
bis course by their aid. No living man
knows why these tiny architects build
them in this way. They are merely one
out of the many marvels of the great
land "down under" 1t seems. how
ever, probable that instinct leads these
tiny creatures to so construct their
dwellings that the fierce MONDAY sun
shall have the least possible effect upon
their interiors.

SOFT COAL STRIKE AvERTED.
Agreement Signed at indianapolis a
Victory for Miners.

Indianapolis, Feb. 9.-The miners
and operators of the competitive dis
tricts have agreed upon a scale OF
wages for the ensuing year and the
threatened strike Of soft coal men has
been averted.
The operators concede that the
agreement is victory for the miners.
It grants an average increase of
wages Of 12k per cent. The scale
shows that many material concessions
have been made by the miners from
their original demands. They did not
get the absolute run of mine basis nor
the fiat differential Of cents. They
asked for an advance of 12k cents
per ton and received 6 cents on the
mine run basis. An increase of % per
cent is made on inside day labor.
The wage scale signed directly and
Indirectly affects the wages of 100000
miners. Those directly affected are
the miners in the states of the central
competitive district, composed of Ohio,
Indiana, Illinois and the Pittsburg dis
tricts Of Pennsylvania. OF these 25,-
900 are in the Pittsburg district; 49,
900 are In Ohio; 5000 are in the In
diana bituminous fields and 5000 are
in the Indiana block coal fields and
10000 are in Illinois.
Those whose wages are indirectly
affected are the 10000 miners Of Cen
trail Pennsylvania, 5000 of Michigan,
$4,000 of Iowa, 1000 Of Kentucky, 49,
900 of Alabama, $4,000 of Tennessee
and about 10000 Of Kansas, Missouri,
Arkansas and Indian Territory. All Of
the latter base their wage demands on
the scale adopted in the central dis.
trict,
