Minerals in our food form an impor-
tant Ingredient as regards our nutri-
ton. They seem to assist the digestion
of our foods and are needed to complete
the composition of many fluids of the
body. Thus the salt in tears is poetic
and proverbial both. and salt is also
necessary for the perfection of the gas
tric juice Of the stomach. The phos-
phate Of lime Gn which oatmeal, by the
way, is rich) is needed for building
bones, and there is not a fluid of the
body from the blood to the saliva, for
which certain minerals are not neces-
sary. Too much mineral matter, taken,
for example. in overland water, is in
furious. Therefore all hard water
should be softened before use. Such wa
ter produces constipation and dyspepsia
and is apt to cause kidney troubles.

PLANT sPUDs.

The News today publishes a
letter from T. L. Peeler, the In
dustrlal agent of the NJ, X. C T.,
in regard TO raising potatoes.
While last year the crop was a
partial failure, and the price was
n total failure, that should not
discourage our potato growers
any mo than the partial failure
of the corn or cotton crop.
Potatoes should be grown as a
staple crop. Any man by usin g
little firethougnt and watching
the market price can know when
to plant big or littl crop; last
year every one posted knew that
there was a ig surplus carried
over, and that there would be a
big crop planted and unless the
crop could be mark ted early low
prices wou q prevail.
A few ecres planted in potatoes
this year ought e. hring hand
some re e'urns. Read Peelers let
ters over carefully and if you
think well of the proposition
plant a good crop.

received a dispatch instructing him to
vote with Prussia for a certain impor-
tant measure. accompanied with con-
fidential letter directing him to induce
the representatives, OF the other Ger

mark:
"There must be some mistake here" +"
Rechberg saw his blunder and grew
pale and excited. Don't be disturbed" !"
said Bismarck. you did not intend

Finni.h Mnrrlnre retes.

Marriage fetes in Finland, as in Nor
way, are often prolonged for several
days, even among folk of humble rank.
One popularity. which may excite more
surprise than approval among eligible
suitors In our own country. is that the
Finnish lover never himself pops the
question" to the girl Of his choice The
momentous proposal Is made through a
third person, called the "talman,' to
whom the happy couple give a present
when his delicate mediation proves sue
eessful and ends I'm a wedding. Not un-
commonly their gift to the talman takes
the unromantic form of a shirt
In like manner the clergyman who
presides over the nuptial service re-
ceives a simple and inexpensive pres
ent, often a handkerchief and a pair Of
warm hair gloves. A similar gift is be
slowed upon the officiating priest at
funerals. Upon these mournful occa-
sions the service is exceedingly simple
more so than would satisfy the views
of British undertakers-but the burial
Is, as a rule. followed by large hospital
ity on the part of the bereaved family.

A winged GeneraI Of the Seas.

One of the most extraordinary speci-
mems of the fish family is the nam hal
gnan," or great general of the south
sea, an animal Of the whale species,
which has its home i'm the Indian ocean.
A full grown nam is upward of thirty
five feet In length, pure black in color
and has eyes as large as d saucer Be
sides the above Characteristic features,
which may be said to be whaielike.
with the exception Of the eyes, the nam
has two immense tusks which resem-
BILE those Of the elephant, both In size
and color, and tive queer winglike
membranes extending along its sides
from the side fins almost to the tail.
The old mans have a curious habit Of
marshaling their kind to do battle with
the whales and the sharks, and old
mariners say that they maneuver with
so much intelligence and sagacity that
they are known to all the islanders by
names which signify winged generals,
winged warriors or winged chiefs of
the seas.

When Napoleon III. was approaching
sovereignty he asked judicious friend
to observe him carefully for a week
and to point out to him anything that
he did which was not according to the
severest code Of the manner OF well
bred man. At the end of the week
there was only one practice which his
friend had noticed. The emperor after
eating a boiled egg invariably thrust
bis spoon through 1t. Whence this piac-
tice has arisen, at one time not uncom-
mon, il is difiicult to say. Some date II
from a very early period and assume
that it was done originally in order to
prevent witches smiling in the eggshells.

Few things are capable of touching
one with a deeper sense of pathos than
the shrunken, blue veined hand of one
who Is near and dear. Nothing brings
a sharper pang of foreboding and a
harder lump in the throat than the first
time it strikes us that the gentle hand
that soothed our childish pains and
griefs and has gladly worn away its
softness and beauty in our service is
thin and withered, with purple veins
that stand out like whlpcords when 1t

more beautiful to those for whom 1t has
toiled. whose suffering 1t has charmed
away. than the fairest hand ever mod

plicant for the post of minister to Bra
I'll who brought with him petition
signed by 1000 Chlcagoans. II seems

plicant, questioned him as to his quail
ifieations and finally explained that be-
fore he could give the matter serious
consideration he would have TO confer

An nrperlment wl,h wnter.

Take pound of water the tempera-
ture Of which is 80 degrees G. and mix
it with a pound Of water at zero, or
freezing point The mixture will make
two pounds of water the temperature
of which is 40 degrees @.
Now take another pound of water at
so degrees c. and mix with It e pound
of crushed ice-that is, ice ciystals-at
zero c., the same temperature as the
cold water in the first mixture, and the
result is that we have two pounds of
water at freezing point.
In both cases the weight of water at
zero G. introduced into the warm water
was the same, but before the ice crys-
tails could assume liquid condition
they had to absorb certain amount of
heat. That heat was drawn from the
warm water and consequently reduced
its temperature, but it did not raise the
temperature Of the Ice. 1t simply acted
as energy in enabling the ice to become
liquid and remained in that liquid in
the form of latent heat, to be given up
again as soon as the water reassumed a
crystalline form.

Now and then, not often, ghostly ap-
pearances or sounds are explained 60
the PEASANTS satisfaction. Thus in the
county of Durham "Gabrlel's hounds
were for long, long years believed to
shrek and howl through the air on
dark nights and to forebode death to
him who heard and saw them. But
prosaic modern research proved them
to be nothing but fiocks Of wild geese
migrating southwark on the approach
of winter and choosirg lark nights for
their journeys. Similarly the ghost Of
Irbydale, in the Lincolnshire wolds. a
goblin who terrified travellers at night
with its heartrending cries and who
was said to be witch who had been
worried to death by dogs in long past
age, has been shown to be nothing but
an owl. On the other hand, no true
Cornlshman viii ever be induced to re-
llnquish the belief that the spirit OF
King Arthur still haunts the ruins Of
Tintagel in the shape Of a white enough,
and assuredly the many English fam
lilies who possess white bird of omen,
such as that which John Oxenham saw
In Westward Ho," cling firmly to the

wonderfuI Fiddles.

One of the greatest fiddles that ever
were known was TO be seen at the
French court at the time of Charles TX.
This was viol so large that several
boys could be placed inside of Il.
These boys used to sit Inside this queer
instrument and sing the airs that the
man who handled the bow was playing
on the vlol outside. The effect is said
TO have been very beautiful, though 1t
would seem as if the presence of the
lads in its interior would seriously in
terfere with the tone OF the "great fid-
die" as 1t was called. Many years aft
er another huge instrument of this kind
was used at concerts in Boston. 1t
was so large that 10 play it the fiddler
had to stand on a table to use his bow
at the proper point on the strings. This
instrument was called "the grandpa
ther of fiddles."

The great perfumers Of the middle
ages were, II appears, the Arabs. The
fashion of using perfumery came into
west Europe through the crusades.
Italians were the great dealers in 1t
and often sold disguised subtle poisons
in their perfumes. Catherine de- Medi-
ci, like many of her ancestors, gained
her private and public ends through
poisonous perfumes. Cardinal Richie
lieu first saw what business could be
created by dlstilling the. field and or
ange grove flowers of Provence. Anne
of Austria, the wife of Louis Kill,
could not go a moment without her
scent bottle and liked to have her linen
scented. Voltaire spoke Of the per-
fumed bath as the luxury of luxuries.
The sunny hills OF the Var became a
mine of wealth and remain so to this
day, for the scent distilled from fiow-
ers has subtle delicacy which still
gives 1t the prlmacy. The Empress
Josephine gave another great stimulus
to the scent industry. She constantly
held before her mouth dainty lace bor-
defed lawn pocket handkerchiefs, on
which she had sprlnkled some delicious
perfume.-London News.

Although the heliotrope is tender
plant, extremely sensitive to cold, 1t Is
one of the best plants for cultivation
indoors. 1t seems TO have few diseases
and is usually free from insect enemies,
while with abundant water and sun
shine and sufficient artificial heat 1t
will bloom all winter long year after
year and is so tenacious of life that
when cut down TO a mere stick II
quickly shoots forth luxuriant new
wood. In addition to this the more the
plant is pruned the more luxuriantly It
blossoms. The blossoms should be cut
with a considerable length Of the new
wood upon which they grow, and If at
once fully immersed in water and then
placed deep in a well Oiled vase they
remain fresh and odorous for many
days. The plant is little difficult for
amateurs to propagate from cuttings,
though with plenty of water and sun
and some bottom heat the young cut
tings quickly root and prosper.

Rather Of thc weather Bureru.


The father of the weather bureau
service was Increase A. Lapham, a
modest and retired but ripe scholar,
who lived in Milwaukee. He was the
first to note by telegraph the progress
of the wind currents and storms and
to predict their appearance in specified
neighborhoods. On the strength of a
weather dispatch from Omaha in 1869
or thereabouts he announced the first
storm on Lake Michigan that ever was
heralded twelve hours in advance of
its arrival. The first work of the
weather bureau was under his charge
In Chicago. 1t was on the small be-
ginniIrgs of DR.. Lapham that the en-
tire system Of the signal service was
based. DIR. Lapham died in 1875.
