The Purchase Of New York.

When the letter announcing the
purchase for sixty guilders (S24) Of
the 1000 morgens Of land consti-
tuting Manhattan Island, was read in
the assembly of the States-General,
on November 7, 1926, it was resolved
that mo action is necessary on this
information"
Had their high mightinesses pos
sessed provision, how strenuous
might have been the resolution
passed, that the newly acquired ISL
and should be kept forever under
their control. Nor was the West In
dia Company, that money making
trust which ventured this first spec
ulation in wheat and in lands in the
long line of enterprises known to
Manhattan, more alive to the excel
lence of their investment.
More than ten times the sum paid
over to the Indians for about $4,000
acres, according to their estimate, has
since been paid for a single square
foot of New York soil! Probably
there Is no other sale on record where
the advance in value has been so
great.-Putnam's

Baboons a Plague in Nigeria.

In many parts Of the protectorate,
and especially among the hill regions
CT the northern provinces, balloons
are one of the greatest plaques to
the farmer, and a source of menace
to property and even to life. A pro-
tectorate officer, while engaged in
business in a mountain village, was
informed by the local queen that her
people could not continue their farm
ing owing to the raids of balloons.
During the absence of the men a few
weeks previously these beasts had &C
tually come into the heart o. ithe vii
lage and destroyed the crops. The
natives are in constant dread Of them
and continually fear for the safety of
their children.
Sir William Wallace has related to
me that he has een droves OF fifty
to a hundred of these animals all in
single file, and that lately he himself
shot two enormous brutes who were
grinning at him from the cliffs.
They utter a nerve-shattering and
horrid bark. They possess a regular
system of defense, and always have
signalers out to watch for the ap-
proach of a possible enemy. These
scouts are always the biggest Mon
keys, and they signal by barks to
their comrades when strangers. are

Never iron laces; wash them care

Black lace is best washed in tea.
Instead CT starching napkins,
doilies, ties, etc, try this way, which
makes a very little trouble: Dip
them for a few minutes in boiling
water, then iron them out with a very
hot iron. This makes them stir as
though they were starched and they
look like new.
When ironing use a brick or block
of wood for an iron stand. You will
be surprised at the result, for your
iron will keep hot a good deal longer
and save you many steps. If you
need a dress or waist that is not
starched and you are in a hurry for it,
rinse it, dip it in thin, cold starch,
wrap in a towel for a few minutes,
then put it through your wringer and
iron at once. The result is entirely
satisfactory.

Dahlias From Potatoes.

BY a curious horticultural irony,
the dahlia, which is the popular idol
of all our early autumn flower shows,
has a dreadfully prosaic .parentage.
1t has been developed from the Mexi-
can tubers introduced about 100
years ago by the Swedish naturalist.
DR.. Dahl, for the purely commercial
purpose of supplementing the potato.
They did not "catch on" and the
dahlia dish soon disappeared from
British dinner tables; but our gar
deners at once perceived the great
potentialities of the flower, and pro-
ceeded to produce the double dahlia,
and other delightful floral fantasies.
The tubers of the dahlia, too acrid
for our insular taste, are still eaten
in some parts Of France.-Dundee

CAREFUL DOCTOR
Prescribed Change Of Food Instead
of Drugs.

1t takes considerable courage for a
doctor to deliberately prescribe only
food for a despairing patient, instead
of resorting to the usual list Of medi-
cines.

sicians among the present generation
who recognize and treat conditions as
they are and should be treated re-

for him.
AFTER he examined me carefully
he advised me to try a small quantity
Of Grape-Nuts at first, then as my
stomach became stronger to eat more.

The 4 Drapery.

The fashion of tying a voluminous
sash around the knees, letting the
ends hang, has not returned to favor
among the best dressmakers. They
are using some rather queer drapery
above the knees, which gives n the
impression of amateur dressing in
which odds and ends have been util-
lied, but it is doubtful if they will
force it upon the public later on.

Badly-In One Case Child's Hair

Il have two little girls who have been
troubled very badly with eczema. One of
them had it on her lower limbs. ! did
everything that / could hear Of for her, but
it did not give in until warm weather, when
it seemingly subsidized. The next winter
when it became cold the eczema started
again and also in her head, where it would
take the hair out and leave bare patches.
At the same time her arms were sore the
whole length of them. I took her ito a
physician, but the child grew worse all the
time. Her sisters arms were also affected.
