EVERY DISH OF POTATOES.

One of the most remarkable menus
ever drawn up must have been that
of the feast to which Franklin, La.
voisier and other distinguished men
sat down as guests of Parmentier.
Every dish at this banquet was made
of potatoes, and even the brandy and
liquors were the product OF the
same vegetable.
This was Parmentier's final proof
to his skeptical fellow countrymen
that potatoes were not poison, as
they persisted in believing. Louis
XVI. himself was one of Parmen-
tiers earliest converts, granted him
land on which to grow his plants:
and did not disdain to wear the po-
tato flower at a boutonniere. Then
Parmentier cleverly posted guards
around his potato fields by day and
withdrew them by night, so that
people tempted to come then, steal.
eat and be convinced. The all potato
banquet was the climax of the great
campaign.

Mrs. Ida Heinonen, widow lady
who has been about the city for
some time engaged as massage
doctor, but who of late has been
unable to ply her profession by rea-
son of sickness, died at the Ship
man Hospital Saturday. Mrs.
Heinonen had just returned from
Rochester where she had consulted
physicians regarding a cancerous
growth with which she was aff1ict-
ed and was taken i'll on the train.
She was removed to the hospital
and died shortly thereafter. She
was a remarkably heavy woman,
weighing 336 pounds. The funer-
al took place Sunday from Glea-
sons undertaking rooms and was
we'll attended. No relatives have
been located in this country.

foundation is new throughout, the
floors have been replaced with new
hardwood, the paper from the
rooms has been removed and re-

the outside of the building has

FAITH IN CONCRETE WHARF.

The new concrete pier is now near
ly completed at the foot of Colorado
avenue. While concrete has been
used before in pier building this is
the first time that a reinforced con-
crete VIII arr has been built into the
Pacific ocean. The greatest conf
dence is expressed in its ability to
stand the worst storms Of the bay.
Thus ia r it has made good al. prom
Uses.
About rs more piles, weighing ten
tons each, must be driven to carry
the piel. out to its contract length
of 1,6O) feet. This will occupy
about two months more, when a cele-
bration will be planned to give the
public an opportunity to inspect the
first pier of its kind in the world

GYMNASTIC MAINE HEN.

Zenas Dudley of Hampden has a
hen that will lay every day provid-
ing she can lay where she wants to,
and that is sitting on top of a pole.
The only reason why this hen wishes
to perch on the tip end of pole
when laying can be accounted for
only by the fact that she laid her
first egg on top of pole. When she
was small pullet she was frightened
one day and flew to the top of a tall
pole in the yard. The dog kept her
there for some time, and during the
time she laid her first egg. Never
time since then has she laid an egg
except when she has been on the top
of some pole. A pole has been set
up in the hen yard where this hen
can make her daily layings. A small
net bag is placed around the pole to
catch the eggs.-Kennebec Journal.

HISTORY IN MANUSCRIPT.

There are two books of great his
toric.al interest still lying in manu-
script as they have lain for many
years. The "diary" of Louis Philip:
pc is understood to be in possession
of the duke of Orleans. Very likely
it contains statements which its pos
SCISSOR does not deem judicious to
make public at present. The other
book is the memoirs upon which the
Empress Eugene is known to have
spent much time and labor. The
late Sir Howard Vincent was to
have acted as Eugenie's literary ex-
ecutor. Whether the book will see
the light during the present genera
ton is very doubtful.

NOVEL KIND OF PIANO.

The dulcitone of Thomas Machell
Of Glasgow has the keyboard of
piano, but the key hammers produce
sound by striking steel forks-like
shankless tuning forks-instead Of
wires. A semi-circular steel spring
carries the vibrations from each fork
to the sounding board. The tone is
softer than that of the piano, but it
has great clearness and CARRYING
power, and is adapted for solo play
ing as well as for accompanying
other instruments of the voice. I'm
portant advantages are the lack of
necessity of tuning and the port
ability. A dulcitone of five octaves
weighs but As pounds, but a piano
of the same range has a weight of
$50 pounds or more.

CROUCH WAS BORN WITH HIM
One Bear Marked Exception to the

when but two months old but this
feeling soon disappears, leaving 9
jolly rogue ever willing to box and
wrestle. I once knew a cub that was
a regular terror" says writer IN
Golfers, "and he never reformed
He would attack anything regardless
of its size or strength.
"At the age of three months he
would charge at me, snorting, sniff.

Just had it in him and he became

Finally he grew large enough to

the surprise of every one he immedi.

NOT coMMERcIALIsM ONLY.

1t is common to stigmatize the
present as the age Of commercialism,
and America as distinctively the
hand of the dollar. But there never
was a period in history when so
many people were working for re-
ligious, philanthropic and scientific
ends, irrespective of pecuniary re-
turns, as there are to-day, and we
very much doubt if these higher
ends of life are drawing as many
persons in the old world as in the
new.
