Paris.--When potatoes were intro
duced into France the natives had
been told they were poisonous and
that 1t was death to partake of them.
To overcome this prejudice Par
mentier gave big banquet in Paris,
at which every dish was made from
potatoes. There were 16 courses in
which potatoes played the major or
minor part. Even the brandy and
liquors were the product of this vege-
table King Louis XIII. was among the
guests and gave his host land on
which to cultivate potatoes near
Paris. AS the tubers grew to size
Parmentier posted guards around the
fields by day and withdrew them at
night so that those who lived around
them could steal them at night, eat
the vegetable and thus become con-
WINGED. So, unconsciously, the French
were converted to the dish and never
gave it uI.

OLD COMMON SENSE.
Change Food When You Feel Out Of
Sorts.

"A great deal depends upon yourself
and the kind Of food you eat" the
wise old doctor said to a man who
came to him sick with stomach trou-
BILE and sick headache once or twice
week, and who had been taking pills
and different medicines for three or
four years. IT,.
He was induced to stop eating any
sort of fried food or meat for break
fast, and was put on Grape-Nuts and
cream, leaving of all medicines.
In few days he began to get bet
ter, and now he has entirely recover
ed and writes that he is In better
health than he has been before in
twenty years. This man is So years
old and says he feels like new man
all the time"

LONE PIGEON LEFT
One Ohio Bird Survives Breed OF
Several Billions.
Ending Her Days In the Cincinnati
Geological Garden Is All That Re-
mains of a Species Once
Numerous.

Cincinnati, O.-One solitary passen-
ger pigeon, ending her life at the
Geological garden in Cincinnati. is to-
day all that remains of an American
species that early in the last century
swarmed over the continent in fiocks
numbering billions. With the death
of this sole survivor of bird tribe,
whose nesting places often covered
hundreds of square miles, there VIII
soon disappear the last race OF the
wild pigeons that have been slaugh-
tered by the million by men who FED
their hogs upon the carcasses they
could not carry away. Though 1t Is
too late to save this species, special
efforts are now being made by the
Audubon workers to bring about the
restoration of other birds Of economic
value that must otherwise share the
same fate.
For many months systematic search
has been made throughout the con-
tinent by officials of the Audubon as
ISOLATION for relics of the once prolific
passenger pigeon. Members of the or
ganization headed by Prof. G. F..
Hedge of Clark university have made
standing offer of 1900 to anyone
discovering a nest of this species;
but, though thousands have been try
ing eagerly for the prize, not one
single claimant has appeared. In
response to a recent inquiry by T. Gil
bert Pearson, secretary of the Ma
tional Association of Audubon So
cieties, the authorities of the Cincin-
natl Zoo have just furnished the last
chapter In the tragic tale Of these
butchered birds. Tha Last of the
Passenger Pigeons" is a female, eigh-

among the people of the United States, to think
that because SO many of the foreign diplomats in
Washington represent monarchies and have titles,
they are possessed Of certain high mightiness
that keeps them aloof from the democratic horde
The stranger American who calls at any of the
embassies or legations is of courteous treat
ment, which is not always forthcoming when
call Is made at an American home. OF course the
foreigners have native courtesy which is inbred,
but unquestionably they have 1t impressed upon
them by their home government before coming
to this country that America is democracy and
that they must remember that here all men are
considered equal. There are plenty of foreign
diplomats who will be hail fellows we'll met in
crowd of Americans, but who in crowd Of their
own countrymen will be very careful to observe
distinctions OF class, and hold 1t beneath their
dignity to show any familiarity with one held to
be inferior in social standing
The diplomats in Washington are great stick.
ers for precedence among themselves. Length
of service in the capital is the thing that counts
The ranking ambassador may be mere mister,
but he has the privilege of precedence over an
other ambassador who may be a count baron
The importance the wealth or the strength of
the nation represented in Washington amount
to nothing where the question of priority Of rank
among the representatives Is concerned Great
Britain ordinarily is considered much more
powerful and important nation in the world Of
affairs than AustriaH Hungary Yet today in Wash
ington the representative of the latter country
in official and social professions walks ahead Of
the representative of the former country.
The ranking. diplomat in the capital city is
Baron HengelLSer Hengervar, privy coun.
cor ambassador extraordinary and plenipoten
tiary of Austria-Hungary. The baron has been In
the diplomatic service Of his country ever since
he was youth and he is the foreigner of longest
service In the United States The home life of
the Baron and Baroness Hengemuller is of the
proverbially ideal type. In an article on the Aus
tra- Hungarian ambassador, John Elfreth Wat
kins says of the home of the diplomat
The embassy is a treasury of souvenirs Of
sojourns among and intimate acquaintance with
the great personages who have shaped and are
shaping the history of the world In the drawing
room are bronze busts of the emperor and the
late Inflated empress, and upon one of the tables
| Is jewel presented by the queen of Saxony.
In the dining room are displayed profusion of
ancestral plate, and the portraits of all of the

rulers of the house of Hapsburg from the eleventh
century down to Francis Joseph himself Inside the
embassy the fads of the ambassador and his wife
are apparent. those of the ambassador being auto
graphs and signed photographs of the great &C
tors in the theater of events; those of the baron
exotic plants, birds from the forests of dis
tant countries and dogs"
1t has been said that length of service In
Washington rules the matter of precedence
among the diplomats. 1t should be known, how
ever, that ambassadors rank ministers, and SO
IT may be that the minister who has been here
for ten years must of necessity give way In the
social and official professions to the ambassador
who has just arrived. Senior Don Joaquin Ber
nardo Calvo is the minister from the little
try Of Costa RIGA. He ranks the representatives
of such nations Sweden, Portugal Greece Den
mark, the Netherlands, Belgium China Spain and
Norway Senior Calvo has been in America as
the representative Of his country for eleven years
The minister from the little Central American
republic has many things to recommend him to
the interest OF the people OF the capital. 1t has
been said here many times that the family of
Senior Calyo could make fortune on the vaude.

twelve children plays musical instrument and is

The ambassador of Great Britain to the Unit.
ed States is the Right Hon James Bryce who is
known or ought to be known to all Americans as
the author of THE American Commonwealth"
His length OF service puts Mr.. Bryce fourth in
the precedence list. He is ranked by the repre-
sentatives of AustriaH Hungary France and Rus.

interest in social political and governmental con.

For Ave years Baron Rosen, master of the i'm

his regalia of state at of the great White
House receptions. The Russians run to furs
and the fur trimmings Of the ambassadorial cloak
are both picturesque and priceless. While the
baron has been ambassador only four years, he
