HELP FOR POTATO GROWERS
Finest of Tubers May BE Grown With
the Aid of EmbaImine Fluid, Elk
periments Show.

1t seems very curious that a chem
ical extensively used to preserve the
dead in the way of an embalming fluid
could be successfully used as help
toward growing good potatoes, but
such is the case, remarks an exchange.
1t has been found that a proper So
luton of formaldehyde will insure
most excellent crop of the finest pota-
toes, where it has formerly been quite
difficult to make certain soil grow any
thing but a very inferior crop.
To prevent scabby or rusty-appear-
ing potatoes, the potatoes to be plant
ed should be soaked for two hours in
a solution composed of one pint of
pure formaldehyde to so gallons of
water.
1t may be placed in large tubs, and
the potatoes put in burlap sacks and
laid in the liquid for couple of hours,
and then spread out on clean grass to
dry for an hour or more before cutting
and planting.
The potatoes should be cut into
pieces having two or more eyes from
which to sprout.
One good plan where number of
bushels of potatoes are to be planted
is to have the liquid in barrels, with
spigot at the bottom for drawing off
liquid.
Potatoes should not be gathered up
after being treated, in the same sacks
or basket. they We're in prior to being
soaked, as they are apt to be reinfect-
ed more OF less by the disease which
is bsing fought.
In certain localities the potato has
become SO diseased it is almost i'm
possible to secure pure healthy seed
and this formaldehyde process is rem
edying the difficulty largely.

Very few people are ambidextrous;
that is, able to use the left hand as
readily and skiIlfully as the right
But there is an amusing story Of one
Irishman who was careful to cultivate
that art. When he was signing ar
ticles on board ship he began to sign
his name with his right hand, and
then changed the pen to his left hand,
and finished it.
80 you can write with either hand,
Pat?" asked the officer.
''Yis, sorr,' replied Pat. "Whin ]

SOME WILL DlSBELIEVE THIS
That Fair Girl Graduate Neglected
Familiar Phrase Is Too Much to
Take on Faith.

Confronted by eager friends and rel
atives In the auditorium the fair young
girl graduate sailed forth to the cen
ter of the platform to deliver her COM
mencement peroration. Everyone ex-
pected her to strew the wild flowers of
rhetoric around the building with a
lavish hand and they were not disap-
pointed. Beginning almost in the Gar
den of Eden, she brilliantly traced the
great events of history and endeav-
ored to point the lesson that each hap
pening should teach. She dragged poor
julius Caesar from his mausoleum and
ghoulishly lugged him across the Rubi-
con again, helped Horatio make good
his long suit at the bridge and even
endeavored to portray where Napoleon
Bonaparte had erred.
Coming down the home stretch the
talented young lady breezed along un-
der wraps.
Now, my classmates" she said in
conclusion, 1--WE have reached the part
Ing Of the ways. We must now show
the stuff of which we are made and
get out in the world and hustle. Let
US put forth all our energies to make
our efforts a success, thereby repaying
cur proud forbears for the many sac
rifces they have made that we might
be scientifically equipped for the her
culean struggle on which we must EN-
bark"
With these fitting words, the fail
graduate brought her valedictory to 9
close. And never once did she pro
claim to an unsuspecting public that

Injustice to Children,

One Of the tragic injustices of which
a great multitude of parents are guilty
even in this age, is the bending of
children to their will through the pow
er of fear. There is a large class of
parents who are positively brutal with
their little ones. A child quickly
comes to understand reason, if reason
is applied He is keenly receptive
to truths, and to right ways Of doing
things. He deserves to have mysteries
explained to him. He is entitled to
legitimate reasons when he is told
that he must not do certain things.
It is unfair to insist that he must not
commit some act solely because papa
tells you not to-" The child should
be taught not to be afraid.-Mother' S
Magazine.

Nnniniurious Coffee

A treated coffee called "atoxicafe"
has been described to the French
Therapeutic society as ordinary coffee
freed from certain igestion-disturb-
ing products formed during roasting
These products, to be known as cafe
otoxin, are volatile, but are only par
TALLY volatized in the roasting, and are
removed by first exposing the roasted
coffee under a vacuum and then sub
hitting to steam at pressure of sew
eral atmospheres. The treated coffee,
retaining its caffeine unalterated, is
unchanged except in having less of the
substance found to be really the source
of its chief harmfulness when used in
excess.

RETURN TO OLD TAVoRITE
Observant Cigar Dealer Records Al
most Universal Habit He Has OBJ
served In His Patrons.

ST understand" said the cigar deal
er, as he took advantage of a leisure
moment to pass word with one of his
customers, that the wise people who
write books about various toiogies'
speak a good deal of reversion to type.
l can't give the scientific definition OF
that term, but I've often thought that
man in my business sees a practical
application of it a good many times in
a day.
Il have noticed that ninety-nine
men out of a hundred, though they
may be willing to experiment in the
tobacco line, can be counted on to
come back to their first loves-revert
to 'em, / should say. Take the de-
voices OF a certain brand of cigars.
About once in so often they'll get side
tracked on to something else, quite
likely a cheaper kind, which he'll try
to persuade himself is just as good.
It's funny he will say to his friends,
that l never discovered this cigar be-
fore He'll talk about it, and smoke
it, and then in about week'he1l drift
in and ask in a way a bit shame-faced
for some of the old kind. l put the
familiar box before him and watch the
| afIectionate touch that he gives the
cigars"

NATION HAD EXALTED IDEAS
Pyramids and Temples of Early MeM-
can Race Reveal Much to
Student of Religion.

Religion and superstition are much
combined in the mind of the Mexicans,
the result Of both ancient and modern
creeds. AS to the antique beliefs and
cult, there is much that appeals to the
philosopher in the religious structures
and history of the prehistoric, semi
civilized peoples of Mexico, or indeed
of Spanish-America, whether North
or South.
The pyramids and temples which
the Toltecs and the Aztecs and the
Incas built have something grand and
broad underlying their main idea. the
idea OF being able to get On their tenn.
pies rather than in them
There is ever source of inspiration
in being upon the point of an emf
nence, to commune with providence,
rather than being immured within
some gloomy walls, with topping
spires overhead. Tho sIErit ever tries
TO get out, to ascend, and is exalted in
accordance withsits altitude.
Did not Moses at Sinai bring forth
the enduring Decalogue from the sum
nit of a great natural pyramid, rather
than from the gloomy interior of a
temple?
The exceedingly numerous pyramids
throughout ancient Mexico seem to at
test some exalted idea Of a natural re
ligion which found outlet and habita,
ton in the great Teocallis.-Nsw York
Telegram.
