Curious Forqetfulness.

1t is difficult to combine the attri-
butes Of the beau and the business
man, and the famous Lord Alvanley
did not attempt the task. Largely
as the result of that philosophy which
led him to cavil at friends weakness
In "muddling away his fortune in pay
ing tradesmen's bills" he one day
found himself in financial difficulties
and asked Charles Greville, the author
Of the Journals" to put his affairs
In order. The two men-Mr. Lewis
Melville describes the incident in
Some Eccentrics and a Woman"-
spent day over accounts, and Greville
found that the task he had undertaken
would not be so difficult as he had been
given to understand. His relief was
not long lived, however, for on the fol
lowing morning he received a note
from Alvanley saying he had quite for
gotten debt of 100000.

Her Early Resolutions.

This story was told by an English.
man who lived century ago. He was
dining out in London and sat by lady
whom he did not know. Their conver-
sation turned upon early resolutions
and how very seldom they were kept,
and the lady said: ''Well, when l was
a girl made three resolutions-frst,
determined that would never marry
soldier; second, that would never
marry an Irishman, and, third, that |
would not be long engaged. And all
those three resolutions broke. Whom
do you think 1 did marry? The Duke
Of wellington! He was a soldier and
an Irishman, and I was engaged to
him for twelve years." This was Lady
Katherine Pakenham. 1t was an un-
happy marriage, and the couple mostly
lived apart.

selected for making and planting the
cuttings very few will fail to grow and
an excellent crop may be produced.
In the north sweet potatoes are dug
as soon as the vines are nipped by
frost. In the south the potatoes are
allowed to remain in the ground until
convenient time for handling them,
and in Florida or Texas they are fire..
quently left until required for use
Sweet potatoes should be dug on u
bright, drying day, when the soil is
not too wet.
On "A small scale they may be dug
with a spading fork, and great care
should be taken that the roots do not
become bruised OF injured in the proc
ess of handling 1t is desirable that
the roots should lie exposed for two
or three hours to dry thoroughly, after
which they may be placed in a warm,
well ventilated room to cure for sew
eral days. The proper temperature
for curing sweet potatoes is from so
to 80 degrees L. and As or 90 degrees
f. afterward. A small crop may be
cured around the kitchen stove and
later stored in a dry room where
there will be no danger of their be-
coming too cold. Sweet potatoes
should be handled as little as possible,
especially after they have been cured.

GROW SWEET POTATOES.

That They Thrive Only In the South
Is Now an Exploded Fallacy.
While the sweet potato is of tropi-
cal nature and is generally considered
vegetable to be grown only in the
south, experiments by the department
of agriculture show that it will grow
and grow well, as far north as Michi-
gan.
The ridges for planting sweet puta
toes should be three to five feet apart
and the plants about fourteen inches
apart in the row. Cultivate sufficient
ly to keep the surface soil loose and
free from weeds, and the vines will
soon cover the ground, after which no
cultivation will be necessary. In the
warmer parts of the country the seed
is not bedded, but is cut in small pieces
and planted in the ridges instead of
plants. After the plants come up and
begin to make vines freely pieces of
the vines are removed and used as
cuttings for planting additional areas.

ried by proxy. She was married in
October, 1862, at Turin to a bride
groom who merely represented King
Luis.
Princess Maria of Sweden, wife of
Prince wilhelm, the kings son, is an
unusually democratic woman and is
endearing herself to the Swedish peo-
pie because of her unassuming man
