New Irish Potato.

The French National Society of Agri-
culture has recently had its attention
called to a new potato, which some
French journals say will not only play
an important role in agriculture, but
will supplant the Irish potato. The
technical name of the new vegetable is
Solanum commersonii, but it is now be.
ginning to be called the Uruguay Irish
potato, as it comes from the banks of the
Mercedes river, in Uruguay. The yield
is said to be enormous, and 1t appears
to be immune from any disease This
potato is cultivated like the common
vegetable of this name, or, at least, has
been so cultivated in the trials made In
France since 1901.

A Pleasant Surprise.

the season was the surprise party on
Mrs. Andrew Freeman of the sixth
ward, Saturday afternoon, by the
Grove of Ladies Circle of which t1rs.
Freeman is member About twenty
five ladies were present, elegant re-
freshments were served and a
splendid time enjoyed by all. The
worthy guardian Mrs. Jennie Fryatt
with appropriate words presented baby
Freeman with solid gold ring. The
ring was placed on the infants finger
with love and best wishes for a long,
happy, prosperous life from the
entire grove. This order is enjoying a
steady growth, and they expect to
buy good many rings before 1905 but
the officers say it doesn't bother them
bit as their treasurer is circum.
stanced to buy rings for all. Join the
circle now while it costs you but one
dollar the local physicians fee.

gilded signs and door plates. They all

heart, stomach. liver, kidneys, or
other local troubles, they see that the

difficulty of those outside Of the pro-

The general idea of an antelope pic
lures it as swift runner, fleeing in
graceful bounds over stretching brown
plains. There is an antelope in the Con
90 region, however, which rarely ven
lures to the upland, but actually lives in
water, spending practically all of its time
wading around in the swamps and feed
ing on swamp growth. such as papyrus
and other plants. This swamp antelope
represents among animals what the
heron and other wading birds do among
birds, and, like these wading birds, the
swamp antelope has extraordinary long
and thin legs, while its hoofs are wonder
fully long and spread out almost as wide
as birds claws when the animals wade
in the mud, thus supporting them on the
soft bottom. These swamp antelopes arc
by 10 means small animals, but belong

To Test the Ewes.

Here is a little test for your eyes that
will soon show you which Of them is the
stronger. Place an object about two
inches in diameter on a level with your
eyes, and move back from it about ten
feet. Then point to it and take sight
along the top Of your pointing finger un-
til the object and the tip Of your finger
are exactly in l line with the eye from
which you are sighting. Next open the
other eye, and see if the object seems 70
have moved from the straight line. IL
it has not moved to one side apparently.
the eye with which you first looked is the
stronger, as the addition of the others
vision does not change the focus. If the
object seems to have moved it proves
that the other eye is the stronger. the
difference being measured by the dis
lance that the object appears to have
moved.
Try sighting with both eyes open first.
Then look with first one eye and then
the other, and see how far out of line
each makes the object appear. The one
that is furthest out of line is the weaker
eye.-Chicago Chronicle.
