Vatican. The new pope has already
shown that he will be more active and
participate to a greater extent in the
affairs of the world than did his i'm
mediate predecessor. In fact. this
probably had something to do with
his election, for the cardinals must
naturally have sought for a man who
was best equipped to cope with the
p%erturbed conditions in Europe.

In memory of my dear mother,
who died at Walhalla January 18th,
1914.
Thou are gone, my precious mother
70 thy long, eternal home;
Thou art with the holy angels,
Singing round the Great White
Throne.
Thou art sleeping, calmly sleeping,
In the churchyard by the way
Only sleeping till the dawning
or the resurrection day.
Oh, it's lonely here without you
In this world of toll and care,
But We'll meet again up yonder
In that land so bright and fair.
While I know / am very small
A little girl only five years old
Yet some day, at Jesus call,
] shall walk the streets Of gold.
Some day | hope to meet you
In that land so bright and fair,
And with all the holy angels
We shall dwell forever there.
Won't that be a happy meeting
In that blessed home above,
When I'm with you again, dear mo.
Their,
And all the dear mes that | love.

IN FRANCE.
Parmentier introduced the Vegetable
in Eighteenth Century.

Though the potato was brou ght to
Europe in the latter part of the six
teenth century, it was not until the
eighteenth that it became popular
lied in France, mainly through the
labors of Parmentier, the centenary
of whose death occurred on Deem
Der 18th. Parmentier was an apoth-
ecary, who during the seven years
war, served as doctors assistant in
the hospital of Hanover.
The severe famine of 1863 caused
the Besancon Academy, in 1771, to
offer a prize for suggestions as to the
best vegetable that could be relied
upon as a supplement to wheat in
such an emergency. Parmentier won
the prize with an essay on the meth
Cd Of Extracting a nutritive sub
stance from the starch of certain veg
etables, and his researches in this
connection led him later to study the
potato, against which, at this time.
a violent prejudice prevailed, leprosy
and fever being among the diseases
which it's use as food was alleged to
~engender.
Such legends died slowly, and it
was not until Parmentier, in ITS,
published his "EAamen Chimique de
la Pomme de Terro," that any really
scientific effort was made to combat
these popular error Then the
French government placed land at
Sotablons at his disposal for pur-
poses Of potato cultivation. and the
first blossom hat appeared was gath
cred by Parmentier, made into a
bouquet, and presented by him to
Louis XIV, who placed it in his but
tonhole.
The royal recognition succeeded
that of the court, and of Paris gene
rally. France then initiated Paris.
and the despised potato leaped at
once into public favor.

and remained in the air long enough
to demonstrate the practical mind
Of its maker, who had been ridiculed
by his incredulous contemporaries.
The old relic was wheeled from it's
hanger early to-day, the pilot imme-
diately climbed into the seat and was
away under much the same condi-
tons as would prevail in a flight OF
the latest model aeroplane. The
Hight was a short one.

The Langley machine but little re-
sembleS the trim and powerful fly
ers Of to-day, but in it's crude state
it combines the basic principles Of
aviation, and after many years Of
neglect the "old junk cane into it's
own, giving its inventor his deserved
place among the recognized pioneers
Of aviation.
But for an untimoly accident, and
what was termed the "miserliness of
the government" Langley undoubt-
edly would have won fame during
his lifetime. Instead, he died a
broken-hearted man, after d~evoting
20 years Of his life to the study of
aviation. Years later others receiv-
ed the fame and credit of which he
should have had a share.
Langley's Error.
Langley made the fatal error OF
trying to catapult the flyer into the
air with the aid Of p~onderous
springs, but he only succeeded in
tried the method pursued to-day by
running the machine along the
ground and allowing it to rise grad
ually III the air, there is little doubt
he would have made the first flight
in a heavier-than-air machine.
The Anticipated machine was sent
to HammondSport about two months
ago. Scarcely a change was made in
It's parts. The surface of the wings,
which had suffered from long stor-
age, were replaced. Other minor
parts repaired were duplicates Of the
originals. The machine was driven
to-day by the old motor built by
Charles Manly.
DR.. Langley was the secretary of
the Smithsonian Institution. He was
satisfied OF the possibility Of flight in
heaVierLthan-air machines and spent
years in working on the problem. In
1895 he flew a steam-driven modeI a
distance of about a mile owe the Po-
tOmac River.

WOMAN'S SPHERE IN JAPAN.
High Place Attested by their Position
in State, Religion, Literature.

(From Japanese Society Bulletin.)
From the beginning of Japanese
history to the Introduction Of Chi
nese civilization, women occupied a
very high place in Japan and filed
positions of importance and honor in
state, religion and household. SIEVE
raj expresses at different times
ruled the Empire. The greatest
lights in the world Of pure japanese
literature are both women-Mura-
saki Shikiku and Sci Shonagon. Their
superb productions-"Genji Monoga-
tart" and "Makurano Soshi'-are
strong proofs of a large measure of
liberty and Of high position in soci-
ETY. enjoyed by women of the time.
1t was chiefly the C%onfucian doctrine
of the three Observation-Disclosures,
while yet unmarried, to a father;
obedience, while married. to a nus
band; obedience. while widowed, to
a son-that changed the primitive
state of comparative freedom and in
dependence of woman Buddhism
and feudalism contributed also to
place women in an Inferior position
and state Of dependence.
Many Americans assume tina wo-
men still occupy an inferior position
in Japan under the Law. But this is
not true. During the past fifty years
female education has spread
throughout the. country. western jul
