WHEN POTATOES WERE NEW
Ignorance Of French Cook Came Very
Near Putting Them Out Of Com
mission 40 an Edible.

In France, arrangements are being
made for the celebration Of the one
hundredth anniversary Of the death of
Parmentier, whose name Is INSOFAR
ably associated with the introduction
of potatoes as a popular comestible.
Louis XVI. promised to help him to
launch them by giving a banquet at
which they were to be served as an
attractive novelty; but the royal cook
unfortunately misunderstood the in
structions given to him. Instead of
boiling the tubercles, he cooked the
leaves as a kind of cabbage. The
courtiers. after trying every imagin-
able sort of condiment with the prepa-
ration, pronounced the dish detestable,
and declared that no persuasion would
induce them ever to taste 1t again.
Inquiry. however. detected the error
which had been made, and a second
experiment brought the new delicacy
into high favor.
Do many remember that Mr.. Dahl
introduced the dalhia into civilization
with the intention Of making the
tubers Of which 1t bears so good a
crop substitutes for potatoes?

DICTATES OF FASHION

The heelless slipper with rounded
toe is being worn more and more for
dancing.
Separate wraps showing the draped
effect complete the one-piece gown Of
whatever material.
Black velvet hats trimmed with
tiny satin roses of vivid shade are oc-
casionally seen and are very smart.
Oriental effects rather increase than
diminish as midseason approaches.
Colors continue brilliant and crude.
Loose waves that fall on each side
OF the forehead and well over the ears
compose a favorite arrangement OF
the front hair.
The last OF mushroom shapes, gen.
orally flower trimmed. Is a favorite
for the young girl. Black velvet is
used much in these hats.
The sash Is very deep and is bowed
and twisted into elaborate figures IN
the back. Velvet, striped and moire
are all used for the new sash.
Kimono sleeves are finding a strong
rival In the sleeves that sew into
small normal armholes. Some Of the
newest coat and skirt suits have this
sleeve.
Pale lemon is the newest color to
combine with black satin. Citron col
or is one of the new colors in char.
meuse. Striped silk or satin is used
to trim taffeta frocks.

Taken From the Spanish.

The origin of the American dollar
mark in the abbreviation of the Span
ish-American pesos" with the p and
the monogrammed, was described by
DR.. Florian Cajori of Colorado college
in the Popular Science Monthly Doc
tor Cajori gives more data on the
history of the mark, showing that In
Argentina 5 usually follows the nu-
merals in the short advertisements In
newspapers, but usually precedes the
numerals when they are arranged In
columns. Mr.. e. Tobitt Of the Omaha
public library says 1t contains an
original ledger Of George Washington,
in which the 5 Is used frequently. The
diary of Ezra L'Hommedieu, written
In 1776, shows the earliest occurrence
known Of this use. 1t became preva-
lent gradually, being used at first as
an occasional substitute for the word

Men and Women TyptIsts.

Good women typists usually exhibit
a marked development Of tactile and
muscular sensibility and an excellent
memory for letters. and especially for
concrete phrases. remarks the Scien.
tific American. The right and left
hands are nearly equal in strength and
their attention is keen and well sus-
tanned. Their relative slowness OF
auditory reaction Is a theoretical de-
feet. but the value of typist depends
rather upon a combination of good
points than upon great superiority in
one particular.
Men exhibit greater uniformity than
women, but the difference between
good and poor typists are, neverthe-
less, well marked. In general, men
surpass women in rapidity Of auditory
action and consequently in speed of
work. but are inferior to women, per-
haps, In power of sustained attention.

PROPER HEIGHT FOR BOOSTS
There Are Many Disadvantages In
High Roosts-Elghteen Inches 10
Considered High Enough.

The perches for fowls should be
low. Eighteen inches above the floor
Is high enough. There are many dis
advantages In high rooets. First
fowls of heavy breeds are almost Ger
tain to injure their feet when they
fly down from high perch to a hard
floor; this is the way most cases OF
bumblefoot are caused.
All perches should preferably be
built so that they will not touch the
walls at any point. When they do so
1t is much easier for lice and mites
to thrive. The fewer creases or
cracks, wherein lice may find a lodg-
ing place, about the perches the bet.
ter, and II they do ont come in contact
with the walls of the building at any
point the insect pests will have very
little opportunity to hide. Then. II
the roost poles are thoroughly
drenched with coal oil or some other
liquid lice killer frequently. all vermin
about the perches may be kept in
check.

Lockout Had Spread.

Bill Brown. an ardent English trades
unionist, was one of the factory
hands who felt the effects of the lock-
out. After the union meeting Bill and
some of his bosom friends called at
the tavern, and getting into a festive
mood, they decided they wouldn't go
home till morning. At a. m. Bill
said: Nov, chaps, yer will ave to

the place all In darkness. Ring 'er

Pure Bred Poultry.

Despite the constant preaching OF
experts, It Is safe to say that most
Of the chickens of the country are just
Observation-Disclosures. 1t would be i'm.
possible to classify them as breeds
There are some farmers who claim
that crossbred or "nobred" hens lay
better, and consequently pay better
than thoroughbreds.
The farmer who keeps pure-bred
stock can also sell a uniform product
when he disposes of surplus stock, old
hens, broilers, roasters, etc. A mixed
crop of chickens presents an appear.
ance of inferior quality, and will never
take the highest quotation.
Another advantage of keeping pure
stock Is that one can sell eggs for
hatching-at time when market eggs
sell for the lowest prices-at a very
reasonable figure.

Chairman Sure of Good
Republican Showing in
New York County.

New York County will make splen-
did showing for the Republican ticket,
according to the forecast given out by
S. $. Koenig, chairman of the County
Committee, last night.
He said:
"A careful canvass made IN every one
Of the thirty-one Assembly districts
in New York County indicates that Mr..
Glynns majority will not be more than
$4,000. The reports show that Repubh-
cans will carry, to a certainty, twelve
Assembly districts, with more than an
even chance in three more, the Demo-
Gratis carrying the remainder with
considerably reduced majoritles.
THE Democrats will undoubtedly be
disappointed on Election Day at the
poor showing their candidate for Gov
ernor will make. III
1--WE will elect three Senator'S, with
the chances favoring two others. ne
Republicans are also sure OF eIectl1g
three Congressmen and VIII very hBely
elect one more.
"We will elect at least twelve mem
hers to the next Constitutional Con-
vention from New York County.
"The estimates from New YORK
County leave no room for doubt that
Judge Whitman and the entire Repub-
lican state ticket will be elected ana
that both branches of the Legislature
will be Republican by safe majority.
The Congress districts that Nh. hoe--
mig figures on are the 18th, 2Oth and
ofst. with a possibility in the lstn.
The Senate districts the Republicans
will get will be the 18th, 18th and 2Oth'
according 10 indications. William NJ
Bennett will win on the Progressive
ticket in the 18th Senate District.
The Assembly districts now repre-
scented By straight Republicans are the
18th. DIST. I'D. 25tn and 18th. In ad-
ditiop 10 these districts Mr.. koenlg
figures that straight Republicans viii
win i'm the 18th. 18th, 9th and 31st
districts. Progressives with Republican
Endorsements are expected 70 win IN
the 9Th, 10th, 25th and possibly the
2Sth.
william Harmon Black, chairman OF
the Tammany Hall General Committee,
who has been talking generalltles all
through the campaign, WouId not at
tempt TO claim anything for his party.
"The Progressive party in the city
will poll as large IL not larger vote
than il did in 1872" asserted Francis
w. Bird, county chairman.
As for Kings County, Jacob \. Liv-
ingtou, Republican chairman, said that
Whitman would make it an even break
on better there. He expects % elect
fourteen Assemblymen, four Senators
and three Congres smeu.
Some of the Republican leaders IN
Kings ventured the prediction that
Whitman would carry it by plurality
Of 10000.
On the other hand, John II. McCooey'
the Democratic leader, claimed plu-
rality for Glynn of $4,000. He said the
Democrats would elect twenty Assem-
blvmen. eight Senators and at least
seven Representatives in Congress.
William A. Wade. the Republican
leader i'm Queens, believes that Glynn's
plurality there will not be more than
1000. while Daniel Shea, the Demo
cratic chairman, places the Glynn plu'
rality al 81 600.
