CELLAR POTATOES.
Grown on a Tablo In the Dark In a
Few Inches of Soil.
If yon have at your disposal a
small and quite dark cellar and an
old kitchen table, how would you
like to grow potatoes, excellent ones
that are declared to be superior in
flavor to the ordinary farm grown
variety? This can be done very
easily by following a method which
is attracting considerable attention
in France.
First of all you need the dark cel
lar. The absence of light is essen
tial, for the filtration of even a few
rays of light would cifuse the pota
toes to waste their energies in put
ting forth sprouts in all directions
instead of the buds of little pota
toes. Next you need a table, over
which you place a layer two or three
inches thick of fine, dry and care
fully sifted cafth!( Then you select
some good two-year-old potatoes—
that is to say, those of last year’s
gathering. Any potatoes in a good
state of preservation will do. but it
is best to select large tubers with
out defects, for the Slightest trace
of fungus spreads rapidly and may
spoil the whole crop. Now take a
slightly moistened sponge and pass
it over each potato to work off the
cryptogrammic germs that are so
injurious to vegetable tissues. If
some of the potatoes have already
begun to sprout the sprouts must
be removed carefully without
wounding the tuber.
After you have done all this take
the potatoes one bv one and half
bury them in the soil, planting
them in rows spaced about four
inches apart.
There is no back breaking toil
with tbe hoe in the broiling sun and
no fighting against potato bugs.
The tubers should be inspected by
candlelight occasionally to see that
everything is progressing satisfac
torily. In two or three weeks after
planting it will be found that each
potato is covered with tiny white
points which several days later
change into little potatoes that
grow rapidly.
When the little potatoes are rea
sonably large they may be carefully
removed. leaving in place the old
potatoes, which continue to bGar.
Several weeks later another crop
may be gathered and even a third, j
The budding continues until the,
parent tuber is completely exhaust-1
e.d and nothing remains of it but
the skin.
In ease sprouts push forth on the
potatoes they must be cut off with
Scissors. Potatoes grown in this
way have one very excellent quality.
They have so thin a skin that it
may be simply washed off. No
scraping or paring is necessary.
They also have an excellent flavor
and are firmer than ordinary farm
grown varieties, with less tendency
to soften.—New York World.
An fnt.rpr.ter Nwclatf.
The following story from Har
per’s Magazine furnishes a rare In
stance of that devotion to a foreign
language which has caused one to
forget for the moment that he
speaks his own tongue:
An Englishman, who spent his
time „in adapting, plays from the
French for the British stage, was
dining once in an English hotel,
when, after he had eaten, he was
seized with a desire to smoke. He
called the waiter‘and said to him:
"Peut-on fumer ici ?”
The man looked blank. "I don’t
understand a word of French, sir,”
he said.
The adapter was in despair.
“Then for pity’s sake send me some
one who does!” he exclaimed.
A Long Walk.
A professor of the University of
Pennsylvania who has greatly en
deared himself to the students on
account of his kind heartedness has
one particular failing—that of ab-
sentmindedness, the Philadelphia
Times relates.
He visited his married nephew
and had listened to the young wife’s
praise of her firstborn. The gen
tleman felt that he must say some
thing to give the impression that
he was interested.
“Can the dear little fellow
walk?” he inquired quietly.
“Walk ?’! the mother, shouted.
“Why, he has been walking for five
months!”
“Dear me!" the professor ex
claimed. lapsing again into abstrac
tion. “What.a long way he must
have got!”

Told Hop Story.
The little-daughter of a man who
had been chosen for jury duty in
London the other day went J to the
judge and said: “Please, sir, father
can’t come. He can’t put on his
boots.”
The judge asked the nervous lit
tle crenture what wus the matter
with her father. Her hesitation
showed that she had not been suf
ficiently equipped for the complete
deception of the wary official. He
repeated his question.
“Well, sir,” she said, looking
straight into the -judge’s twinkling
eyes, “father don’t wear boots.. He’s
got wooden legs. 1 wasn't told to
tell you anything else, sir; that’s
ail.”
Whir* th. Firs Was.
Sleeping during the sermon is a
poor compliment to the preacher,
but it is not often that the man in
the pulpit turns the occasion to
such effective ubb as did John Wes
ley. The apostle of Methodism waa
preaching, while many of his bear
ers slept. Suddenly he startled
them by a loud cry of “Fire! Fire!”
There was a momentary panic
among the congregation, and a man
cried out, “Where, sir? Where?”
“In hell,” the preacher replied; .
“for those who Sleep under I’
preaching of the word.”—Lond
Chronicle. *$•
The Man Whs Wf* “Gone."
In a case which recently carme up
for hearing a certain witness was
called. On the mention of his nama
a man rose up and said, “He’s
gone.”
“Where is he gone?” said the
judge. “It is his duty to be here.”
“My lord,” was the solemn reply
"I wudna cure to commit mysel’ ot
to whaur he’s gone, but he’s deid.’

Smuggling In Italy.
The Italian laws against smug
gling are most severe. A- peasant
caught with only a pound of contra
band tobacco is pretty sure to ineur
two years’ imprisonment, besides
paying a. heavy fine. The customs
officials, too, are . authorized to shoot
persons crossing the frontier who
refuse to halt when challenged, and
several lives are thus sacrificed ev
ery year. Still the profits of smug
gling are so great that many brave .
these perils. A knapsack filled with
tobacco or salt, safely landed, yields
a small' fortune to the smuggler, so
heavy are the taxes upon these.—.
