 In the Ridgewood part of Brook lyn small potato or onion is given with each ten-cent purchase. At this rate of profitsharing it is estimated that thrifty housewife who buys in large quantities may carry home as trade premiums potatoes suffic' tent for a meal

Blanket, a Flemish merchant, who set

to want, says the London Chronicle.
Blanket and his wife, suffering from
the intense cold by reason of scanty
bedding and lack of fuel, he searched
for something to put on the bed to
increase the warmth, and hit on a
piece of rough, unfinished cloth that
had been thrown to waste. Its sue

know that. six months ago. while the
crown prince was in Paris. he was one
night enticed into the gaming house
kept by the notorious Minckwitz.
There a quarrel ensued, and the crown
prince, fearing attack, drew his re-
vOlver. which went of and shot one OF
Minckwitz's cOnfederates stone-dead.
The crown prince has ever since been
paying big sums to hush up the af-
fair.
Until recently AIinckwitz conceived
the idea that If the emperor died and
the crown prince came to the throne,
1t would mean TO him considerably
more money each year. Therefore he
conceived that diabolical plot. I
warned the crown prince of it, and he
threatened to expose Minckwitz and
have him arrested AIinckwitz, in turn.
threatened that if his highness made
the slightest movement to thwart his
plans, he would expose TO the world
that the German crown prince, during
his latest escapade in the Montmartre,
had killed a man. Finding this to be
the case, I myself wrote that anony-
nous letter of warning. which I ad-
dressed to the emperor"
and which has had the effect Of
saving his majesty's life remarked.
That night Minckwitz found himself
arrested upon charge Of blackmailing
Portuguese nobleman, and was later
on sentenced to 10 years imprison-
ment
In his solitary hours in prison he
often wonders, 1 expect, why his das-
tardly plot failed. Had it been sue
cessful, however, it certainly would
have had a great effect upon the fu-
ture history of the world.
