Itamble Brt useful Potato.

Weight for weight, bread is six times more nourishing that potatoes, the Cincinnati Enquirer says.
 The potato thrives best in Portugal, where the average yield is twelve tons to the acre.
 The potato is three-quarters water and is deficient in nitrogen besides. Hence it is hot in itself a perfect food. But eaten with meat the combination Is ideally perfect.
 The gum on the back of postage stamps is made of farina extracted from potatoes.
 The Dutch make molasseslike syrup of potatoes, and potatoes form the starch that stiffens the worlds shirts and petticoats.
 A very powerful brandy is made of the humble potato.
 The potato but too often adu1terates cocoa, potted meats, honey, butter and tapioca.
 Potato spirit. very pure alcohol. is used to fortify wines. and it is prophesied that this spirit will sup plant gasoline as the motive power of automobiles.
 From potato leaves cigarettes are made, and from potato pulp buttons, combs and penholders.

Occasionally. although not usually, a parrot is talkative at the right time. It was only by the opportune loquacity of her pet parrot that an Italian wo- maE was saved from deportation re- gently at the New York immigration station. She was unable to speak English, and was trying to convince the inspectors that she was returning to America after a visit to Italy, when the parrot broke loose with a volley of slang phrases which could never have been learned in any other land than this.

KANSAS CITY, Mo.-Was education N more practical a generation ago. or did Johns father study his books more thoroughly than John does? John Is a seventh grade student in the public schools. He asked his father one day to help. him solve the following problem:
 A, asked how much money he has in the bank. replied: If I had $10 more I would have $1.000 more than half what I now have" How much money had A?
 Such a fool problem said the father. ''Tell that teacher to ask the cashier. You have been pestering me with problems like that for a week. Suppose your teacher asked you how old you are. Would you tell her:
 "If I were ten times as old as am, diminished by AZ, would be 30 years older than dad, and if dad were one-fourth as old as he now Is he would be my age?'"
 What would your teacher do if you answered in such a manner? In my days we had practical problems in our arithmetic"
 In order to investigate his fathers statement John went to the public li- brary and asked for an old arithmetic.
 The librarian gave him Richards Natural Arithmetic" He turned to the page marked Practical Exercises" and read:
 A puts his whole flock of sheep into three pastures; half go into one pas ture, one-third into another and 32 into a third. How many in the flock?
 That's queer." said John. "Prac- tical exercises, too. Here is a man who wants to find how many sheep he

Uncovered H Buried Town.

Every once in awhile excavation in southern Arizona results in the dis covery of a buried village. The most recent discovery of this kind was made by Frank c. Erwin at his home IA miles from Cochise.
 Three miles from his ranch Erwin started to dig an irrigation ditch. Only a few feet under the surface he began to uncover utensils of a shape and material which indicated that they had been used by a race prob ably as old as the Cibolas, that strange people whose Seven Famous Cities" was the lure that brought Father Niza and the negro Estevanicio from the Spanish mission at CuliacaR north along the Sonora river to the old city of Tabac, near Tucson, which expedition was the beginning of civilization in Arizona.
 After digging deeper Erwin came across a wall, which he followed for 20 feet. Further investigation brought to light hundreds of bones we'll pre- served, one skeleton being intact When an attempt was made to take up the skeleton it fell to pieces. Among the treasures unearthed was slab on which were written curious figures representing men and birds and ami mals Erwin took several of the relics into Tombstone and will send others to the Smithsonian institution.

The Horse,s Prayer.

Pathetic and ironical as it may seem, the horse looks up to man as his god. In the Swedish they have Prayer of the Horse" addressed to his human lord and master, which in sum Is as follows:
 70 lord, my master, I thank and adore you for the kind word you spoke to me long ago, and I strive in the hope that you will pet me once in a while. If I cannot understand what you wish me to do. please be patient and show me Don't beat me or jerk on the reins, but look and see if some thing is not wrong with the harness.
 q beg of you not to whip me go- ing up hill, nor give me loads heavier than I can pull. Keep me shod so that I can get foothold, and don't let the farrier cripple my feet. If I am sick or have an ulcerated tooth, go easy with me for day. as I am beside myself with pain.
 "Oh, grant me cool. clean water in the hot weather, and let me not eat my fodder dry.
 Finally, when my strength is gone, and I cannot any more work for you enough to be worth my keep, I be- seech of you don't let me be sold to drag a vendors cart, but take my life In the quickest and easiest way, and God will reward you in this life and in heaven. Amen"

 that hung close by with placards fas-

 same toilers had received. A large
 part of the exhibit was the work of the child victims of the sweatshop sys- tenn. And it was by no means clothing of the cheaper grades that was most conspicuous, but articles made to meet the wishes of the we'll to do and even the fastidious, such as are sold in the city's most elaborately furnished stores.

If the worker is speedy she can earn 60 cents day. Artificial violets are cheaper. A mother and four children, of ages from 12 to 5, earn together 60 cents a day. Their work may be seen at the exhibit. It is beautiful; but the system that produces it at this cost of young life Is an abomination Hand-sewed mems neckties, intended to be sold at from 50 cents to S1 each, pay the maker 55 cents dozen The ultra-respectable black collar for elder ly women, retailing for 50 cents, costs the vender for making less than 1% cents apiece. Is it nothing to those who buy such things that childlife is into their seams? The Con- sumers' League exists to help these in 1 workers to help themselves. l It can succeed only by enlisting the cooperation of buyers, for whose pro- lection it has provided a label of in- vestigation and approval stating that | the garment that bears 1t is made | under clean and healthful conditions"

Experiment IN Forestry.
The department of horticulture of
the University of Missouri, is working
out problem in forestry in the exper-
iment station orchard. The question
is whether or not it pays to plant ca
talpa and black locust on good soil
question which is important to Mis-
souri, farmers.
Seedlings of catalpa and black To-
Gust were set out two years ago on
both good and poor soil, all trees re-
ceivnng the same care. Up to the
present time the trees planted on poor
soil are doing as well as those planted
on rich soil,
The young trees were cut off close
to the ground last spring, only one
shoot being left on each tree. This
was done to give the trees straight
tall trunks, valuable for fence posts
piling, or telegraph poles. This meth
cd of cutting back proved successful
with the black locust trees, but the
catalpas produced such large leaves
that many of them blew down during
the summer.
1t is the opinion of DR.. w. l.. How
ard, professor of horticulture, who i:
in charge of the experiment that it i:
( not necessary to cut back catalps
trees if they are properly trimmed
each year.

ron Qua BIRTHDAYS.

This Is my birthday, and happier
enc was never mine."--Longfellow
May this be the sentiment Of every
one who has birthday. Some per-
sons advance the theory that It is not
a good thing to celebrate or recognize
in any way these milestones on life's
highway. But we all have them: there
Is no possible escape from Father Time
and his relentless scythe.
Seems to me the very best way to do
is to extract all the joy, all the sweet
ness possible out of these natal days,
or, as the French say. 'fete" days
Adorn them with the many beautiful
sentiments and charms that the old
pagans attached to days of birth, sur
round ourselves with our families, our
near and dear friends, and thus we
may really grow old peacefully. 1t Is
within the power OF each one to keep
the heart young and to defy time by
harmless beauty arts, so the ques-
ton of age will be the least of our
troubles. There is an old saying that
q guardian angel is appointed for each
individual to attend his welfare
through all the stages OF this mortal
life. The bible says this in other
words. 1t is certainly pleasant
thought, fraught with much comfort.
The following are the flowers and
sentiments for the twelve months:
