Youthful Patriotism.
,rom Harner,s Round Table

From Harper's Round Table.
While in Tampa just before Gen. Shat
ter's troops sailed for Santiago, the writer
witnessed pathetic yet humorous instance
of youthful patriotism. On the morning
that the transport Yucatan was to leave
the harbor two small boys were found
slowed away in the hold. One of the mites
carried Winchester rifle, and the other
had a formidable sheath knife stuck in the
tow string that girded his waist With
grimy, tear-stained faces, and lips that
uuivered in spite of heroic endeavor to ap-
pear soldierlike and Indifferent to fate, they
were led by grinning trooper into the
presence of the officer of the day. They
ayowed their purpose to go to Cuba and
fight the Spaniards.
The officer of the day was puzzled.
Hanged If / know what to do With EN-,
he said. Lets see what Maj. Brodie has
to say"
Mai. Brodie was in the forward cabin,
and smile lit his kindly brown face when
he saw the boys and the situation was ex-
planned to him.

did the same thing he remarked, ran off
with every regiment that came along, and
kept my father on the jump hunting me.

a pair of dirty knuckles were screwed into
the brimming eyes of the young warrior.
The major was trifie disconnected: but
after a little persuasion the boy told the
rest Of his story. His name was Joseph

The Potatoes Anniversary.

From Harper's Round Table
The present year. says the Sun, is the
3OOth anniversary of the planting of the
potato in England. The seed brought from
America by Sir Walter Raleigh was first
planted in 1897 in the garden of Gerard, the
botanist. For 200 years the use of the tuber
was confined to the so-called higher class
es. 1t was not until the c,ose of the last
century that it became a common article of
food among the masses. To the improve
ment of no other vegetable has been given
such solicitous study. In this respect the
United States has taken the lead, and the
various sorts which have originated here
are accepted throughout the world rep
| resentative of the highest attainment in
quality, rapidity of growth and SIZE In
some directions this has led to the loss OF
distinctive flavor and texture, as in the case
of the Bermuda potato. Through the gen.
eral use of the seed of our early varieties
the tuber now grown in Bermuda has I'M
dergone a radical change. The merit of the
Bermuda potato was due to it's firm, Close
waxy flesh, which peculiarly adapted it to
certain forms of culinary treatment.
The substitution of American seed has
| completely changed its quality, so that now
in texture and flavor it is the same as our
early varieties. The efforts of cultivators
appear to be directed toward the produc-
ton of potato from which firmness and
closeness of flesh are eliminated, and to the
substitution of a dry, fourery consistency.
Formerly there was marked difference be-
tween new and an old potato, but now,
apart from the color and texture Of the
cuticle. 1t is difficult to distipgu sh the one
from the other. So universal has become
the use of the seed of American varieties
throughout the world that only through the
color of the skin, due to difference of soil,
is it possible to detect whether a potato Is
grown here or in a foreign country. The
Irish tuber is imported into this country
for special uses. Some amateurs think that
no other is fit to bake in the skin Apart
from it's black covering, due to the peat
earth in which it is planted, it in no way
differs from our varieties A few years ago
before American seed was so generally en-
ployed In Ireland the Irish potato raised
from what may be called native chits was
noted for a special SAVIOR and texture OF
flesh. That is no longer tie case

A Moral Hero

From Humanity.
When General Grant was in Paris, tho
president of the republic, as a special token
of respect invited him to occupy place on
the grand stand to witness the great racing
which occurs in that country on Sunday 1t
IS considered discourteous act to decline
such an invitation from the head official of
the republic. Such a thing had never been
heard of. but General Grant in a polite note
declined the honor and said to the French
president: 1T is not in accordance with the
custom of my country or with the spirit of
my religion to spend Sunday in that way"
And when Sabbath came that great hero
found his way to the American chapel,
where he was one of its quiet worshipers
