man, who resides west of this city,
has demonstrated that there is prac.
tically no limit to the resources of
Rock county's soil and climate. He
has this year planted and raised an
abundant crop of sweet potatoes-the
first in this section. The potatoes are
of excellent quality, the yield prolific,
and the experiment has proved beyond
a doubt that sweet potatoes can be
raised here as successfully as can the
Irish varieties.

.HEIRESSES.
Their Moral and Mental Constitution
as Viewed by the Critical
English DANES.

The number of American heiresses
who have recently married peers or their
relatives is really formidable, says the
London Saturday Review. Now an heir
ess nearly always comes of an unhealthy
j. barren stock, else she would not be
an heiress. AS a rule, an heiress is an
only child. American fortunes are so
gigantic that sometimes there is enough
to make a millionaire b-e.her and mill
liolaire sister, or even two of the lat
ter. Butt will not be denied that Amer
lean girls, whether from their climate,
their diet, their habits, or the exciting,
wearing lives of their fathers, are not
so strong and healthy as English girls.
Their choice, therefore, by the best Eng
lishmen as wives cannot, on physical
grounds, be q matter of congratulation.
With regard to the moral and mental
constitution of the American woman,
Lady Sykes Dronounces her to be cold,
calculating, and devoted to the pleasure
of social excitement. Like all judg-
ments Of this kind, it is perhaps too
sweeping. but who can deny that there
is much truth in it? 1t does not re-
quire any very intimate knowledge of
life in the United States to be aware that
the father or husband is regarded by his
womankind as a mere machine for the
production of dollars, to be squandered
on dresses, diamonds, and visits to Lon
don ard Paris. The calm way in which
the American man is left at home while
his wife and daughters are scattering
thousands in European hotels must often
have struck the o~bservant. This sort of
arrangement does not tend to stimulate
the domestic affections or to cultivate a
sense Of duty in any sphere. 1t inev-
itably makes women exacting, heartless
and sensual.
Substitute for the well-bred English
girl the American heiress as the ruler
of society, and the result must be the
naturalization of the tone of society,
the substitution of a restless craving for
excitement for the calm and comely ease
Of the great lady of the old school. The
constant changing of gowns of fabulous
cost, tearing about in the latest and most
expensive motor car, traipsing from one
social function to another, dining by
preference in a crowded restaurant
such is the serious business of an Amer
lean woman of wealth.

A story is told of the late John

John Swinton could have made a
money-making newspaper, but John
Swinton was like Franklin; he was a

money-making machine, but a greatdeal
more about making the world a little
warmer in some of its cold spots for his

great cakes of solid ice, which had

suppose that the residents of that

TuberculosiD.

Prof. Behring accepts the view that
every one is slightly tuberculous, but
this by no means implies that every one
is or will be affected with pulmonary
consumption. He thinks two things are
necessary to produce consumption; a
tuberculosis focus and EsIily conditions
favoring the development of the disor-
der. He regards the c~ontagion Of CON
sumption in adults with grave doubts,
holding that it has not yet been demon
strated. Therefore. the predisposition
to pulmonary infection is not in ex-
posure to ction, which is shared BY
all more or fess, but in the conditions Of
life. The more probable cause is the
awakening of a latent focus into activity
on account Of defects Of nutrition or
