All the World Levied Upon for
Plants and Fruits.
The recent agitation on the subject
Of preparing meats and meat products
has turned popular attention more
strongly than any other cause to an in
terest In vegetarian diet, and this in
turn has induced curiosity as to the
origin Of the vegetables which we know
best in this country, says the New York
Post. Every one knows, Of course, that
potatoes are the mainstay Of the Irish
and rice Of the Chinese. If there Is a
failure Of the wheat crop. there is fam
inc in India and the sympathy of the
whole civilized world is drawn upon
to supply the wherewithal to tide over
the years deficiency. England must
maintain great navy to prevent its
being isolated from its bases Of food
supply In case Of war, as much as for
the protection Of its colonies.
Taking lesson from these patent facts
this country, in spite Of the unusually
wide range of its products and its prac-
teal immunity from harm on this score
even under stress of war, has under
taken, through bureau Of the Depart
ment of Agriculture, to search the
whole world for every sort of growing
thing which has possibilities as a food
product. Having found such a plant,
it has been imported here for develop
ment in the government laboratories
and subsequent distribution to such
government experiment stations or pri-
vate growers as could develop 1t most
scientifically for the climate to which
it Is best suited.
Many persons consider Ireland the
home Of the potato. which has become
such a necessary part Of the average
Americans diet. The plant came to
this country from the highlands Of Co
lumbia and Peru, Il section Of the world
which has furnished number of the
best known and most widely cultivat-
ed vegetables Of the present time. The
tomato was introduced from Peru back
in civil war days, when ignorant peo-
pie had an idea that it was a poison

& OLD I;



The Old Clock ON the Stair.
Somewhat back from the village street
Stands the old fashioned country seat;
Across its antique porticO
Tall poplar trees their shadows throw,
And from its station in the hall
An ancient timepiece says to all.
"Forover-never
Never-forever"
Halfway up the stairs it stands,
And points and beckons with its hands
From its case of massive oak,
Like monk, who, under his cloak,
Crosses himself, and signs, alas!
With sorrowfu! voice to all who pass
"FOrever-never!
Never-forever !"
BY day Its voice is low and light;
But in the silent dead Of night,
Distinct as passing footsteps fall.
1t echoes along the vacant hall,
Along the ceiling. along the floor.
And seems to say at each chamber door,
"FOrever-never!
Never-forever
Through days of sorrow and Of mirth,
Through days Of death and days of birth,
Through every swift vicissitude
Ut changeful time, unchanged 1t has stood,
And as if, like God. it"all things saw,
l: calmly repeats those words Of awe
FOrever-lever!
Never-forever
In that mansion used to be
Free-hearted IIospitality;
His great fires up the chimney roared;
The stranger Toasted at his board;
But, Ike the skeleton at the feast,
That warning timepiece never ceased
"FOrever-never.
Never-forever!
There groups of merry children played.
There youths and maidens dreaming
strayed.
o precious hours o golden prime,
An af1uence of love and time!
Even as a miser counts his gold,
Those hours the ancient timepiece told
"FOrever-never!
Never-forever
From that chamber, clothed In white,
The bride came forth on her wedding
night;
There, in that silent room below,
The dead lay in his shroud of snow;
And in the hush that followed the prayer
Was heard the old clock on the stair
"FOre ver-never!
Never--forever
All are scattered now and fed.
Some are married, some are dead:
And when l ask, with throbs of pain,
"Ah! when shall they all meet againT.
As in the days long since gone by,
The ancient timepiece makes reply
"Forever-never
Never-forever
Never here, forever there,
Where all parting. pain and care
And death and time shall disappear
Forever there, but never here!

Sayeth this incessantly-
