Popularizing the Potato.

Paris.-When potatoes were intro
duced into France the natives had
been told they were poisonous and
that it was death to partake of them.
To overcome this prejudice Par.
mentier gave a big banquet in Paris,
at which every dish was made from
potatoes. There were l6 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,

were converted to the dish and neve,

the master Of the Kingdom. the bull
wark Of his people, waste priceless
time In carrying out the purpose for
which he had sent for Marion? Hardly
did hope burn anew In his breas.
when there came another thought to
quench it Why had the king sent
for Marion on this particular night
and at this late hour? Why. unless at
the approach of his enemies he had
feared that he might lose his beauti.
full victim, and in his overmastering
passion had called her to him even
as his people assembled in defense of
his kingdom.
There was desperate GOODNESS in Ma
thaniels approach now. Whatever had
happened he would do what Neil had
threatened to do-kill Strang. And
whatever had happened he would take
Marion away with him II 1t was only
her dead body that he carried in his
arms. To do these things he needed
strength. He advanced more slowly
and drew deeper and deeper drafts OF
air into his exhausted lungs. At the
edge Of the grove surrounding the
castle he paused to listen. For the
first time It occurred to Nathaniel
that the prophet might have Assem-.
hled some Of his fighters to the de-
Tense OF his harem, which he knew
would be one of the first places to
feel the vengeance OF the outraged
men of the mainland. But he heard
no voices ahead of him. There were
no fires to betray the approach OF
the enemy. Not even the barking Of
a dog gave warning of his stealthy
advance. Soon he could make out a
light in the kings house. A few steps
more and he saw that the door was
open. as II had been on his first visit
to the castle. He lodged swiftly from

As late as 1877 what is now known
to have been the last nesting place
of these wild birds was found in the
state of Michigan, where their nests
thickly covered the trees over M
area 2S miles long and four miles
wide. Residents of New York declare
that in 1850 they fiocked over Manhat
tan Island in such numbers that they
obscured the sun and that ships load
ed i'm bulk with the bodies of these
birds lay at the wharves selling then
at a cent apiece. Audubon Is quoted
as observing a roosting place of wild
pigeons in Kentucky early in the last
century that extended 40 miles anG
was three miles in width. On it,
edges men with guns. nets, clubs and
torches slaughtered the roostins
birds. each often bagging 500 in one
day.
Declaring that practically all the
gulls and terms in America today have
survived solely through the work OF
protection and restoration at theil
reservations. leaders of the National
Association of Audubon societies are
now appealing to the pe"nle Of this
country to support the work Of pre-
serving dying species Of native birds
which they have already begun. The
Upland Ployer. Cabot's Tern and the
Least Tern. they assert, can now be
saved to the nation by quick emergen
cy measures for which specia, funds

swarmed over the continent in fiocks

whose nesting places often covered
hundreds of square miles. there will
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 tho
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. c. F.
Hedge of Clark university have made
