Potatoes 82190 a Pound.

A year ago Consul Mahin reported
from Nottingham, England, that a new
variety of discase-resisting potato was
selling at $3.50 a pound for seed. Its
boom" is over.
A contributor to the Nottingham
Guardian announces that the Eldorado
is now obtainable for less than q shil-
ling a pound. The collapse was not due
to a lack of disease-resisting power
in that tuber. According to II de-
ponent it was the hardest seed potato
on the market, while another consid-
cred it rthe most disease-resisting po-
tato that has ever come before the
British public"
Last years harvest was not good
and farmers are short of money; other
potatoes fell in price, and the Eldorado
was sympathet!cally affected: dealers
who would not pay a fancy price for it
ran it down." to excuse their not nav
ing it for sale, and so on.
A contributory u of the Eldora-
dos loss of prestige is believed to be
the extensive practice of forcing it un-
der glass and taking cuttings from the
product-a practice discountenanced by
Lincolnshire growers generally rs pro-
ducing abnormal aud untrustworthy
results.-New York World.

A Varied Career.

Samuel Crowther, the oldest town.
crier, has died at Droitwich, his birth
place, at the age of ninety. His last
public crying took place in May last.
During his long life he had played
many parts, including those of q scare
boy of birds from wheat, gravel digger,
bricklayer's laborer, policeman, survey
or's assistant, bailiff, a%uctioneer, por-
ter, Liberal agent, volunteer and bell
ringer. At the time of his diamond
wedding he possessed ten sons and
daughters, fifty grandchildren, and
twenty great grandchildren. He lived
in the reign Of five monarchs, and was
born before Waterloo was fought. His
wife, who survives him, is in her
eighty-ninth year, and lives at the
Coventry almshouses. - London Tele-

Liquor q Hindrance.

Whatever the liquor barons may
thinks or do, signs are multiplying that
the American people are tired Of the
traffic, with its ruinous consequences,
its entailed burdens Of taxation and its
defiance of law. The last blow comes
from a somewhat unexpected quarter.
Apropos Of the agitation on the Pacific
Coast against the importation of Jap
anese laborers, it is being alleged by
the fruit growers that they cannot de-
pend on white labor; that in the midst
of the rush of harvest, when the ripe
fruit must be gathered at once, or lost
their white laborers will get drunk,
and lose two or three days q week In
consequence the fruit becomes soft,
and if it reaches market at all may not
even pay the freight. What q lesson
for the intelligent American! A West
ern paper suggests that the saloons
close on Sunday, so that the fruit pick
ers may report sober for Mondays
business! 1t is q capital illustration OF
a familiar fact, familiar at least to al!
friends of temperance and decency-
that the liquor trade is. q constant in
reference with and q tax upon all le-
ultimate business.-Christian Century.

The HarIeAt Moon.

The harvest moon is the Don which
fulls nearest the autumnal equinox,
that is, September 21-22. Owing to ting
inclination Of the earth ut that timS
the rays of the sun strike the moon 81
that for several nights before and after
the fulling it rises at very nearly tho
same hour i'll the evening, and gives all
unusual period of long moonlight
nights. There is no ether harvest
moon, and it always occurs in Septem-
Der. The succeeding lunation, in DC,
tober, is called the hunters moon, but
the phenomenon is briefer.-SpringielG

What an Acre Will Produce.

Mr.. B. T. Price, a member of the
Board of County Commissioners, and
one Of the best-known farmers of the
county, has all acre of land in cotton,
Of which he is justly proud. At the
beginning Of the year he worked the
plot very carefully, fertilized it well,
and has given it the very closest atten-
ton since. He has already gathered
27OO pounds Of the best grade of seed
cotton, and there is yet about 200
pounds which remains to be picked.
This amount will gin two bales of 500!
pounds lint, which at the present mar
ket price will total $110, by no means
all insignificant sum, when all things
are Observation-Disclosures Observer.

A N NATURE.
The Struggle Between the Beast Side and
the Intellect.

the 1nt0lleCts
Nature tends o%bstinateIy, Michelet
thinks, to bring back toward. primitive
animality,. to unmake, the civilized
man. 1t Is perhaps still her dream to
have son like her-men all nature.
Humanity, in it's earliest age, could
be but that, and legitimately. 1t had
then to take possession of the world
which had just been born. 1t engaged
in sternest combat with the primitive,
shaggy creatures, well armed with
teeth and claws, that looked with con-
tempt at this last born Of creation
without claws, unprotected by hair, all
naked and unarmed.
To conquer these creatures man must
be like them. HE also must belong
to this lower world, or rather he must
take on the two natures-that Is to
say, he must needs become at once
man and beast, possessed Of instinct
i've craft as we'll as b~loodthirsty fury.
The victory, which rested decisively, at
so many points Of the globe, with the
weaker, shows lone the less the orig
inal superiority Of the conquered. In
the man-beast, at first controlled en-
tirely by physical fatalities, slept al
ready as in the chrysalis the true man,
who walks upright and with his face
to the heavens"
And this true man, little by little,
set himself free. To-day mind is de-
cidedly the victor. To the heavy
dreams Of a troubled blood, to the en-
ergy Of the brute, has succeeded the
nervous life of delicate, intelligent SEN
sibility; in short the higher life" But
tic beast Is not dead; he must be
watched.-International Quarterly.

CHAPTER IX.

"And she has never cried yet" said
poor Miss Lynch, while the facile tears
streamed fast down her W cheeks.
"She has never cried or complained
yet, and she eats q little bit Of every
meal as it comes round, and gets up
and goes to bed as usual. But she
doesn't sleep, Mr.. Huntley, and her
flesh wastes from her; and every night,
at the same hour, the fever comes on.
and lasts for the same number of
hours, and then in the day she is weak
and silent and PROSTATE as you have
seen her now"
a fortnight had worn away since the
hour of her parting from Clifford, and
Jane was slowly passing through the
first stage of moral recovery-or dis
ease, whichever way you like to put it
and Miss Lynch, true to the common
superstition, was inviting the village
doctor, by means of lowering medi-
cines, or Alternative medicines, or tonic
medicines, OF something, at all events,
in the shape of medicine, to assist ma
ture at her work.
SIS her pulse good, Mr.. Huntley"
she inquired. looking up with all the
eagerness of perfect faith into the doc
tors face.
1T is far from good, ma'am," said
Mr.. Huntley; 'it is us thready and
wretched a pulse as 1 ever felt in my
life. Miss Grand is in a very weak
state-a very precarious state, l may
almost say, Miss Lynch" (Mr. Hunt
ley invariably exaggerated the danger
at first, as heightening the merits Of
the ultimate cure.) "The low fever
