SliEerA 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 or
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 4 pronounced elevation
and tubers so affected are called PIN
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 III 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 liEty gal
Ions Of bordeaux. The same treatment
prevents blight and the ravages Of pc
tato bugs.-F. c. Stewart IN American
Agricultur:st.

Free Text Books.

Among the novations made N
the school law by the last legislature
is provision by which boards of
education may provide free text
books for children whose parents
are unable 10 furr ish them. This
Is left 10 the discretion of the boards
of education, and just where the
line should be drawn will no doubt
cause those In authority no little
vexation. When considered In
connection with the compulsory
clause 1t IS apparent that cases must
necessarily arise In which the dis
trict should provide text books.
On the other hand, 1t will often
occur that parties who could easily
supply their own needs will attempt
to take advantage Of the provision.

Small Points On Table Etiqu t.

The small points Of table etiquette
are more important than the setting
or the serving of the meals. To
hold the knife and fork properly,
to eat noiselessly, to drink without
gurgling, to use the napkin correct
~ and make no sound with the
dishes, are all matters Of training
and should not be ignored. If these
details are learned In childhood one
need never be afraid to meet the
most cultured people on earth. for
there Is no place where one Is so
criticized as at the table, and no
where else does one not versed In
etiquet so keenly feel a deficiency
The kuife. for instance, should be
used as little as possible, and then
only to cut food into small pieces.
That done, the knife should be
placed on the plate at the right
hand side
The fox now comes into play. It
is taken In the right hand aud en-
ployed 10 carry the food to the
mouth. If food IS being eaten
which Is d ffcult to raise with the
fork alone, a small piece of unbut-
tered bread may be pressed into
service. This must be held In the
left hand, and 1t should never by
any chance be eaten, but when It's
usefullnee as a shovel is passed, 1t
should be left on the plate.-Con-

Deafness Cannot be Cured

Don't Be Blase.

From the Portland (Ore.) Telegram.
1t is one thing to possess knowledge; to
have ones mind enriched by extensive OBJ
serpation and varied experience; to know
from actual enjoyment all, or at least the
best the world can offer, in what appeals
to the artistic in our temperaments. or what
contributes to our entertainment; but 1t is
quite another thing to affect a contempt of
all these. Notwithstanding this the latter
often passes for the first, and the man
whose measure of mental recepticity is a
false-bottom affair is often COMPOUNDED in
identity with the person of superior wis
dom.
On the basis of vulgar error it is assumed
that for such a man wisdom has no secrets
unrevealed; art no motif that can create a
new inspiration or revivifl an old one, en-
tertainment no charm but has long since
passed into the realm of boredom In
other words the Shallowness of the man
who chooses to be considered blase Is al
lowed to pass current as a manifestation OF
superlattve Intellectual attainment, and the
realization of an oversatisfying experience
in the world. This is all wrong AS a mat
ter of fact measured by what standard you
will, the blase individual is a misfit He is
bump of calloused epidermis on the ex-
tremities of the social anatomy. He abb
serbs nothing which contributes to the well
being of the body to which he is attached,
and he reflects nothing which may be taken
as manifestation of its normal functions
its beauty or its growth.

New Uses of Radium.

From the London Truth
To what uses may not radO-activity,
which is catching by many substances, be
turned? There is talk of making radiofied
water vehicle for imparting a glow to
beauty Of the tanner sort. Radium, be 1t
known, If placed in water makes it radio
active, both heating and rendering 1t
luminous, and the water retains for some
time these properties. 1t is being now used
for hypodermic injections in cancer cases,
but it is too soon to say whether with
or without curative effect. In an applica-
ton Of this nature to a facial tumor the
a saint as represe 1ted by the pre-Raphael-
lite masters that would have been lovely to
behold were it not for the particular dis
figurement. The eyes gained striking
brilliancy.
Air can be made radioactive, and in in
haling 1t we can become too. Throat
Explorations can be made with bismuth
radiofied, which enables the exploring
surgeon to see clearly what is the matter
with his patient. There is radium in every
form of matter, but, so far as we know,

Thorium stands next. At certain chemical

the price 1t fetches in Paris. M. Gustave

wants and thinks 1t satisfactory. He could
not afford to make experiments at the lat
ter price. The vistas radio-activity have
opened to the scientific world are pro-
digious Scientific chemists feel as If the
ground had been swept from under their
