POTATOES IN FRANCE.
Parmentier's Willy Plan to Kill the
Prejudice Against Them.

The way in which Parmentier Gre
would have done credit to the widest
Of willy tradesmen. Nothing would at
first induce the simple minded peas
ants to cultivate the popular tuber.
They would not listen to lectures on
its virtues nor accept seed potatoes
free Of cost for planting
Parmentier therefore decided to get
the better of their prejudice by artifce
and with this object leased as much
land as he could round Paris and plant
ed it with potatoes. Just before the
ripening Of the crop he posted watch
ers round the fields and issued notices
that all persons stealing potatoes
would be severely punished. the croF
being intended for the tables of the
king and mobiles.
Such delicacies, continued the notice
were too good for ignorant peasants
who would touch them at their peril
OF course watch was only kept during
the day, and at night the fields were
robbed right and left by the peasants
who were curious to taste the strange
vegetable and jealous that 1t should b.
reserved for their betters.
AS soon as they had tasted the sue
culent tubers the pilferers were only
too anxious to plant as many as they
could possibly purchase, the willy Par
mentier's scheme thus succeeding be
yond the most extravagant anticipa
tons.

The Chinese Ifly.

To raise the Chinese sacred lily In
water remove the brown dried skin
and all the hard callous at the base Of
the bulbs. Do not separate the bulbs,
but take a sharp knife and score the
main bulb as though to quarter it, but
do not cut more than a quarter of
an inch deep. Cut the offshOot also.
This wastes the bulb, but develops the
foliage growth. Arrange the bulbs in
a glass bowl. steadying them with
pebbles, bits Of marble and shells; also
put in broken charcoal to keep the wa
ter sweet. The water 1uay be changed
once or twice before they bloom. Place
in dark cupboard or closet for ten
days until the roots are we'll started.

Pittsburg, Pa. June 4.-"Uncle joe

W. F. KIRBY SPEAKS
The Opera House We'll Filled to Hear
 the Candidate for Governor

Pursuant to announcement Hon. w. F. Kirby, candidate for governor, addressed the citizens of Prescott at the .opera house last Saturday night. There were about three hundred vot- CTS present besides a goodly number of ladies', and the meet ing was presided over by Hon. c. c. Hamby.
 Mir. Kirby spoke for about two hours and .was listened to with close attention by the audience. There was nothing sensational in his speech, but in the most earnest manner told his hear CTS of what he expected to at. tempt to accomplish should the people of Arkansas see fit to elect him their governor. MT. Kirby is pleasing speaker and at times grew eloquent as he re, ferred to the glories of our com monwealth and it's possibilities. He made the usual speech that he started out with, only modi- flying it to local conditions. We believe he made new friends here as his speech was most favorably received, although it was his third one that day, hay ing spoken in the morning at Rosston and in the aftern oon at Laneburg.
