Potato Raising.


In Whiteside county a good many
potatoes are raised, the area on each
farm devoted TO potatoes being from

do our planting about the first to the
tenth of April For late potatoes we
do our planting from the 25th of April
to the 10th of May. We generally cut
our potatoes SO that each piece win

with a planter and is in drills. | do

A young won,nn caused some excite

move In another second the car was

brake the motorman did not turn off
the power as soon as is usual. The
eyes of the occupants began to swell
and two men rose from their seats.
The motorman quickly swung around

woman raised the umbrella, Which

he was stopped by a sentry, but,
giving the proper password, was
permitted to proceed. Instead Of
doing so, however, he endeavored
to tempt the sentry into accepting
a cigar, saying that smoke would

SPOONS.
Date Of Their Origin Unknown, They
Are So Very Ancient.

Date Of Their Origin Unknown, They
Are So Very Ancient.
If you desire to know about the
scarcity of really reliable data on
the history of spoons, take down
your handbooks and encyclopedias
and see if it doesn't take you long
while to learn anything concerning
their origin, nativity" etc. In
fact, the antiquarians do not pre-
tend to give us anything Of value in
that line. 1t is admitted that they
are Every ancient" but just exactly
how old they are and by whom and
where they were first used are
points upon which we are left COM
pletely in the dark. Creighton
says Spoons must have been a
very ancient invention, for a Saxon
spoon of perforated silver gilt, or
namented with gems, was found in a
grave at Sarre, Thanet."
When forks were unknown spoons
played a very important part at the
table. Spoons of the thirteenth
century, and even later, had handles
terminating in a knob, knot, acorn
or other odd and cumbersome de-
vices. About the period Of the
restoration, of which so much is
said in English history, a great
change was made in the forms Of
spoons. In some of the unique pat
terms the "spoon" part was divided
into two, three and even four parts,
and the handles always split or
twisted and turned up instead Of
down and back. Spoons Of that
period were all blunt instead Of be-
Ing pointed, as in the forms general
ly seen at present. They continued
short and blunt to the time Of
George l., when they were first
made pointed and had the handles
turned down instead OF up.
About the year 1900 what were
known as "apostle spoons" were in
troduced. They were so called be-
cause they had the figures Of the
twelve apostles carved upon their
handles. They were generally given
by sponsors to children at their time
Of baptism. The wealthy presented
the entire twelve, those who could
not afford to indulge in such extrav-
agance giving one or more, accord
ing as they felt able.
The most curious and remarkable
spoon in the world perhaps is 9

SCHOOLGIRLS UNIFORMS.
Details of Dress That Are Insisted
Upon by English Masters.

Details of Dress That Are Insisted
Upon by English Masters.
At many schools uniformity Of
dress is insisted upon. 1t is sur
pFising how much the casual visitor
is impressed by trifing details Of
dress, and if boys were given much
latitude in this respect the impress
sion would not always be good one.
Black coats and waistcoats with
black ties always look tidy and re-
spectacle, and are frequently the
rule. At Harrow boys over a GER
tain height are allowed to wear
"tails," which, however, do not look
well with straw hats. The Harrow
straws are familiar to most people,
having a crown of hardly an inch
in height; these are worn all the
year round, a custom which pre-
walls also at Winchester. At Elton
top hats are the usual headgear, and
one is sometimes treated to the
spectacle of boy clad in football
things surmounted by a top hat.
At some schools one is stuck by
the enormous variety of caps worn
by the different boys, every house
having its own colors for the differ
ent school games. When clothes
are changed for football or cricket
this is reasonable enough, but under
ordinary circumstances the neatest
uniform is some dark suit with black
ties, the members Of the various
school teams being possibly allowed
to wear their colors as a mark of
distinction. At many schools the
boys are compelled to wear cap and
gown, the projects in some cases
having the distinction Of tassels to
their mortarboards. At Bradfield
and Radley the boys wear gowns,
and at Winchester all the Collie
gers" we're compelled to do so, but a
mortarboard is very heavy to the
head, while a gown is rather him
lrance to a boy, though it may help
to keep his clothes clean.
1t is customary for projects or
monitors to carry walking sticks as
a mark Of distinction, and in the old
days at Winchester projects used to
wear cowlers or "cow shooters" as an
especial mark of dignity. At Har-
row a boys great ambition is to get
his "fez," which in appearance is
much like smoking cap with long
tassel, but which confers a great
distinction upon the wearer. Brown
boots are not generally allowed at
school. All these various little de-
tails Of dress are most vigorously en-
forced by the boys themselves as
well as by the masters, with quite
regimental exactness.-Baily's Mag
