The Discovery of the Potato.

Sir Walter Raleigh is commonly
credited with having introduced the
potato to civilization, but it is certain
that one Hawkins, slave trader, and
Sir Francis Drake were both ahead of
him in taking it to England. To Raj
eigh, however, rightfully belongs the
credit for having brought potatoes to
the attention Of Queen Elizabeth in
1868. Their merit was long in being
recognized. The complete gardener"
an English book published in 1719,
made no mention at all of them.
The name came from the Haytian
batata, or Mexican palate. 1t is called
Irish potato because the Irish were
the first Europeans to generally cult
vate it. 1t is now, however, one Of the
chief crops Of France and Germany.
1t was native of the mountainous
districts from Chile to Mexico. 1t is
of the nightshade family, which in
cludes also tobacco, belladOnna, tOma-
to, egg plant and pepper.

EVER LOOKS FOR TROUBLE
Man with a Chip on His Shoulder Il
to He COMMUNICATED.

Man with Chip on His Shoulder 10
to he Commiserated.
The really unhappy man, whose I'M.
happiness is his own fault, is the one
who is forever carrying "a chip upon
his shoulder" Perhaps his happiness
is his unhappiness, for when he is not
engaged in a personal altercation~he is
breeding over some fancied slight and
awaiting q favorable opportunity to
give vent to his wrath.
The man with the chip on his Shout
der is easily recognized and his society
by wise people is carefully avoided.
He can go nowhere without trouble
following in his wake If he attends
theater he is either annoyed by the
usher or some one in the audience or
at the man in the box office for not
having sold him seat bought long
before he appeared at the window. He
is the bane of the car conductor, and
on the railroad train he succeeds in
embrOiling himself in q row with the
brakeman, conductor, Pullman car
porter and the passengers. Each flying
especially at his eyes, and he succeeds
in stirring up the spirit of mutiny i'll
the hearts of the travellers.
There are some women similarly con-
stituted who manage to be in trouble
from the moment their eyes open in
the morning until they close them in
sleep. These people are indeed to be
pitied, If, indeed, they are not cordially
hated. This Quarrelsome babit of mind
can be so fostered that the petulancy
grows to be malignant disease and
leads sometimes to the insane asylum.
Parents who notice in their children
this fretful, quarreling disposition can
easily find remedy. They may not
agree to the measure-simply good,
sound thrashing. Every one has heard
of the story of the child who was con-
tinually whimpering and Quarreling.

The results of the threshing in West.
ern Canada are not yet completed, but
from information at hand, it is safe to
say that the average per acre will be
reasonably high, and a fair estimate
Will place the total yield of wheat at
6o,OOO,OOO bushels. At present prices
this will add to the wealth Of the farm
ers nearly $60,OOOOOO. Then think Of
the immense yield of oats and barley
and the large herds Of cattle, for all Of
which good prices will be paid.
The following official telegram was
sent by Honorable Clifford Sifton,
Minister of the Interior, to Lord
Strathcona, High Commissioner for
Canada:
Am now able to state definitely that
under conditions of unusual difficulty
In Northwest a fair average crop OF
wheat Of good quality has been reaped.
and is now secure from substantial
damage. The reports of injury by frost
and rust were grossly exaggerated. The
wheat of Manitoba and Northwest Ter
ritories will aggregate from fifty-five
to sixty million bushels. The quality is
good and the price is ranging around
one dollar per bushel."
Frank III. Spearman, in the Saturday
Evening Post, says:
when our first transcontinental
railroad was built, learned men at
tempted by isotherman demonstration
to prove that wheat could not profit
ably be grown north of where the line
was projected; but the real granary Of
the world lies up to 300 miles north OF
the Canadian Pacific Railroad, and the
day is not definitely distant when the
United States will knock at the doors
OF Canada for its bread. Railroad men
see such day; it may be hoped that
statesmen also will see it, and arrange
their reciprocities while they may do
60 gracefully. Americans already have
swarmed into that far country, and to
4 degree have taken the American
wheat field with them. Despite the
fact that for years'a little Dakota sta.
ton on the st. Paul Road-Eureka-
held the distinction of being the larg-
est primary grain market N the world,
the Dakotas and Minnesota will one
day yield their palm to Saskatche.

Madame Bastian, as she is called, was employed as a maid at the Ger man embassy. Though she spoke German fluently, she concealed the fact from her employers, and was
 thus able to listen to many private con- yersations. It was in this way, she de- clares. that she learned that a French officer was betraying his country. Hav-
 ing informed Major Henry and General
 Boisdeffre, they promptly made use of her and paid her. She carefully col- lected the contents of the embassy waste paper basket, and forwarded
 these and any other scraps she obtain
 ed to the War Office When her posi- tion at the German embassy became too delicate, General Mercier gave her "a small pension, which was continued by Generals Chanoine and Zurlinden land M. Cavaignac. General DeGalliffet
 suppressed it, but President Fauer had it paid out of the Elysee funds. After his death, however, the allowance was stopped.

THE w5RELEss IN WAR.

The up-to-date Japanese are making some use of the wireless telegraph in their intelligent war, and it will be in- teresting to see how useful they find it. At St. Louis wireless telegraph auto mobiles are shown. They are for field service in modern warfare. By using similar vehicles all parts of an army may be kept in constant communiea- tion regardless of the march, the con- dition of roads, etc. Ordinary distances like ten, twenty or thirty miles are overcome by these instruments. In field manoeuvres two men manage an automobile station. There is no line of poles and wires to be protected, none Ito be abandoned in case of retreat. No army of men to work extending tele- graph lines. These machines travel anywhere on ordinary roads at a speed of ten miles an hour.
 These are certainly lively days. Here's hoping that by and by the bus mess of the world can be done in a warless as well as wireless way.

 Rake and hoe, you hnstling husbands Tn the gay suburban districts. FIX your little beds of lettuce, Cultivate the spicy radish, Plant the Perfume Kiss, the onion, And the tender little heanlet By the way, my little children. Have you ever made garden? Have you ever hood and spaded Till your backs were nearly broken? There IS ecstacy in digging. There is rapture in upturning All the fertile sand gravel Out behind the summer kitchen. There is joy in planting fodder For the Kill-Em- Quick, the cutworrl. First, you dicker with the grocer For the cunning little seedlets, And the grocer cannot fool you, For the catalogues you've studied Ever since the first of April. Then you sneak behind the woodshed, With the first gray flush of morning, Peel your coat and seize a shovel, Make bed eighteen by twenty. Or, perhaps, a little longer, Mix little fertilizer (Note my diction-fertilizer With the sand to make it mellow, Then mark off sofe tiny trenches, Not too far apart, remember And deposit in the trenches All the seed, and close them over With the sand and fertilizer Now that you have made your garden You begin to watch the surface For the first green shoot to struggle Through the gravel and you watch 1t For perhaps a weary fortnight. By and by the little raindrops And spell of sunny weather. Bring the garden sass to greet you; But, alas, the early radish, Nice string beans and hardy lettuce Never live to tell the story Of their childhood recollections. First, old Chilly-Thing, the North
 Wind, Comes and brings the frost, my dearies, Ripping all the vegetation That is really worth the nipping. Then the Kill Em-Q Quick, the cutworm, Chuckles down beneath the surface, Sharpens up his little molars, Calls bunch of friends to help him, Saying, We are in a garden, Therefore, let us all go to it! Let us paralyze the lettucev That is why I never daily With the rustic hoe and shovel; That is why l can't help laughing When l see my rext-door neighhor Working overtime to fashion In his yard little garden For old ChillyThing, the North Wind, And the Kill Elm Quick, the cutworm.

THE PAT OF C0LoAfAL oFFiCs4IS
 MT. William E. Curtis has been look ing at the salaries paid by the British government to the officials of the colo- nies and those paid by our government to the officials of the Philippine Islands. He shows that Great Britain almost in- variably gives from twice to thirteen times as much as does the United States to men doing the same kinds of work. The viceroy of British India gets $S2,00O year; the governor of the Philippine Islands gets but S150O0. It may be said that the viceroy has much the larger country to rule, and this is true; but then the viceroy is the head of a government which has long been established, while the governor of the Philippines is daily engaged not only in the work of administering, but in that of constructing a government, and will be for years to come. Even the British governors of Ceylon, Hong Kong and the Straits Settlements. whose duties are light and trifling com- pared with those of the governor of the Philippines, receive $10,000 year more than he. The chief justice of the Phil- ippines receives S7,500 a year. The chief justice of India gets s24,OOO, and even the chief justice of Hong Kong receives S14,50 A provincial governor in the Philippines receives $S,ooO year; a provincial governor in India receives sSS, 900.
 British colonial officers are certainly well paid and doubtless United States colonial officers would like to be better paid than they are. Perhaps as the empire grows the salaries will grow.
