Origin Of Vegetables.

The potato, which had for centuries
been guilty ated in America when the
continent was discovered, is native to
Chill. It was introduced into Europe
in 1880 and 1856 by the S%psnisrds, and
almost at the same time from Vir.
ginia. where it had appeared about
1850.
The sweet potato is also supposed
to have been first found Ia America.
Satisfy Is found in q wild state in
Greece, Dalmstia, Italy and Algeria.
According to Oliver de Series, it has
been cult ated in the south of France
since the sixteenth century.
Turnips and rsdishes came origi-
nally from central Europe. The best.
which has been greatly improved by
cultiv alton, grows wild in the vicinity
of the Mediterranean, Persia and
Babylonia. Garlic, onions. shallots
and leeks have long been cultivated
In almost all countries, and their
place of origin is uncertain.
The radish, greatly modified BY cul-
tivation, probably had its origin in
the temperate zone, but from what
wild species it is derived is not known.
Lettuce appears to be derived from
the endive, which is found wild In tenn.
perate and Southern Europe, in the
Canaries, Algeria, Abyssinis and
temperate Western Asia. Cabbage is
believed to be of European origin.

POLITICS.

Political interest during the past
week has conferred in the New York re.
publican state convention, where q
battle royal between machine politi-
cisns and those who rel opposed to
machine methods took place. The
machine was wrecked, . result that
gives encouragement to the opponents
of machine arrogance and dictstion in
political affairs throughout the coun-
try.
The political boss is the product Of
machine politics. BY shrewd and
skillful manipulation the boss man
ages to control the proceedings in pre-
cinct primaries and conventions, se.
curing the nomination Of candidat
friendly to himself, who will obey his
Instructions and assist in extending
the power and influence Of the ma
chine. The rank and file of the party
ore seldom consulted in the matter,
the main purpose of the machine being
to p%erpetuate and increase its control
of the situation.
That was the stu ation in New York
republican politics until the state con.
vention met q few days ago, and the
opponents of machine methods-under
the leadership of Colonel Roosevelt
undertook to dethrone the bosses and
restore political power to the people
by giving them q direct primary law.
The meaning of this defeat of boss
rule in New York republican politics
was indicated by Colonel Roosevelt
In these remarks:
