"shot to pieces" in an address made
at the Carnegie Institute made a plea
for a trained diplomatic service as
one of the country's best assets, es-
pecially at this critical juncture in the

savors of uncommon sense, and it is
unfortunate that the country as rep
resented by congress does not seem to
see, to quote Mr.. Gibson, that S'if we
want to keep out of entanglements the
surest and cheapest way to do it is to
put training and intelligence into our
dealings with the world, and thereby
avert the necessity for pouring out
billions to correct our mistakes. We

'DASHEEN COMES
TO AID OF POTATO

The first carload of American
grown dasheens recently arrived at
New York. They were grown on the
east coast of Florida. Owing to the
limited quantities shipped to market
at present the vegetable, which is re-
commended as substitute for the po-
tato in locations where that crop can
not be grown, is high in price, selling
for as much as 15c a pound in New
York within the past week.
The Trinidad dasheen, which is a
particularly fine favored variety of
the taro, is one of $4,000 foreign
plants introduced into the United
States by the Department of Agricul-
ture. 1t was brought here in the be-
lief that it would yield the South a
tuber crop which could be used to
supplement the potato. 1t contains so
per cent more starch and so per cent
more protein than the potato.
Dasheens can not be grown in the
North, but they are finding favor
among consumers in that section of
the country. Dealers in Washington
and New York report that they are
having difficulty in meeting the de-
mand for the new tuber, even at the
high prices.

The suits of the earliest German
cards were designated by hearts, bells,
leaves and acorns. Italian cards had
swords, batons, cups and money. The
court cards at first were the king,

the Italians. The English cards in
the seventeenth century were embeI-

With more than $4,000 head of do

enrolled in the Better Sires Better

other States in the Nation wide effort
to rid the country of scrub and other
inferior sires. The stock mentioned is
owned by 670 farmers, of whom 354
are in Pulaski County, Va. All of
these livestock owners have filed with
the United States Department of
Agriculture declarations that they will
not only use purebred sires, but will
follow methods leading to further live

The Bureau of Animal Industry,

of this kind show that the movement
is not only educational, but is gradu-

Mark Twain's Home.

Some months ago dispatch APP

ed States stating that spectators had
bought the old home of Mark Twain
at Hartford, Conn, and were about to
turn it into an apartment house.
America is beginning to take more
interest in its literary landmarks here
tofore, and there was a spontaneous
demand from the American people
that Mark Twain's home be saved.
Those who had purchased the house
were approached as to sale price and
the price they fixed was outrageously
high and very greatly more than they
had paid for it. 1t was evident that

Origin of Playing Cards

The invention of playing cards has
been variously attributed to India,
China, Arabia and Egypt, but there
seems to be little doubt that they orig
mated in Asia, and were introduced in
to Europe about the close of the thir-
teenth century. There is historical
mention of the game of cards in Ger
many in 1875, in Italy in 1899, but not
in France until 1893. In the sixteenth
century the manufacture of cards was
a flourishing business in England, and
under Edward w their Importation
#as forbidden to protect the home in

cards are believed to have been chos-

hearts stood for the clergy, clubs for
the soldiery, spades for the serfs and
diamonds for the merchants. In the
early French cards the kings were pic
