Potatoes Keep Well in Coke.

Consul General Richard Buenther of
Frankfort, reports that a German pub
LEGATION, the Practical Adviser in Fruit
Raising and Gardening. states that a
new method for keeping potatoes and
preventing sprouting consists in plac-
ing them on a layer of coke. DR.. Schil-
Ter of Brunswick, who has published
the method, is of the opinion that the
improved ventilation by means of
coke is not alone responsible for the
result, but believes that it is due to
the oxidation of the coke, which, how
ever, is a very slow n Coke always
contains sulphur, and it Is very pos
sible that the minute quantities of
oxides of carbon and sulphur, which
result from the oxidation, mixing with
the air and penetrating among the po-
tatoes are sufficient to retard sprout-
ing. Potatoes so treated are said to
keep in good condition until the fol.
lowing July.

President Cyrus Northrop, of the
University of Minnesota, says:
'"There is a feeling among certain
classes of people that it is distin-
guished not to know anything about
the Bible. The average freshman, or
senior, especially in the East, does
not know whether Moses was one
of the twelve apostles or not"
Let's see, was it not a college pro
fessor that said all of our old church
hymns We're void of sense or har-
mony? Was it not the head of a
great ~univerity that said Longfellow's
poems were mere ~doggerel? Was it
not a college professor who claimed
he had found the soul OF
a frog? Have not all doubts as to
the authenticity of the story OF the
creation of man, the story of Jonah
and the whale, the story Of Joshu
commanding the sun to stand still
in fact all points of heresy-eman-
ated from some pup at the head OF a
college or university? If students
come home from college with added
brain and freak apparel and ideas 1t
is little wonder, because some OF
the greatest asses of the universe are
at the heads of colleges.
