His atate- roent is not origin il. It was made by the early Spanish explorers and mis sionaries eairly in the sixteenth centu- ,try. Tii'J jjjnerally accapted theory is that the potato was introduced Into Spain by the Spaniards from the neigliborho id of Q tito, an 1 that from Spain it s-aun spread into the Nether lands, Hur^uu ly an 1 It^ly- H >w it jg>t into North America is n it known hut it js generallysuopo.sed to biivebeen iatnxlueed by the Spaniards soon af ter the CoinpJe.stVf Mexico; for, so fai ns I know it li is never been el.iime d that it was found in a wild state north of the 1st Ijmya of Panama. I( was introduced into Ireland for the first time in 1.56$ from Virginia by Sir John Hawkins, a slave trader; ami in confirmation of the theory that it ^s iudiiferpuu to the Andean district of South America, I may slate that I *J»ave myself seen it growing wild in various parts of the interior of (’nloin- bia. ‘ ' f And yet the “Irish” potato lias been used as an artiule of food in (’hinn from lime immemorial. You see it overywliere from Canton to Pekin, jTrom Sliaugiiai to the m »st western liiuitsof the vast Empire; and I never saw a Chinaman who would admit w it had not originated in his qwu country. In fact 1 have been as sured, by some Jesuit missionaries who penetrated to the far interior of the mountain district, that it is a mietimes seen in u wild state near The borders of southern Thibet. Why should it not have been indi genous fo botji continents? The sanit •conditions of climate and soil that v’ould produce it in the mountains of ^ropical and sub-tropical America would. It would seem produce it in Asia; and it is probable that the poo bles of both continents used it as an article of food ages before they were aware of each other’s existence. Next fn rice, it is to day the chief article of food in China and Japan, and in many parts of Asia it is as much rc- ! ied upon by the common people as it s in Ireland urin Ecuador.—. William %.

A few yeSrs ago tliere also existed in Itnssia a sort of private jiolice system which was so peculiiir in organization and conduct tliat a description of it may be interesting.

Always on recep tion days there are a few people who linger until the crowd has passed through the door leading from the Kast room, in order that they may have a better opportunity of speaking jV'itb the President after the great rush is over. Particularly Is this tin case with ladies. To these lie alway- chats pleasantly for h few moments and says things that he would havt neither the time nor the incliontioi to say with so many hearers around him. Friday afternoon two Indie.- stayed in the rear of the procession and when they shook the President’!- hand stopped to converse with him One _of them was the yvifepfa Geor gia pdtv&'ian, and tjie other a sistei of a Georgia newspaper until. As tin firmer grasped his band, she said: “Mr. President, it was my good foil une to attend your reception one yea: ago, and it gives me great pleasur* to attend another to-day. I congrat ulate you on yoijr successful adniinis tratiop aipj good furl une, and a-isur* yqu tl|at Georgia i« for you. The peo pie of Georgia are with you, and it i nay earnest wish to see you here an other term.” The President replied “I am most happy to Ijavc you at teipl ai|o|.her of my receptions. I am profoundly (Imnkful for your kim and encouraging \yords, and gratefu to the jieople of Georgia for their sup port, but lam afraid I will never set the end of my present term." These words were not spoken jest ingly, but, ap| a.ently, in dead, sobe < a nest. The e was not the glirnmei of a joke about them—as far as couh he seen—and the President walkei a>Vay as the few listeners who remain ed looked in each others faces, as ii seeking some interpretation of ]»i.- ominous words. Wlmt did the Prcsi dent mean. M nr an Tr 3 J i .2 The Converted Cnptnin. London Day. During the progress of a powerful j-evival of religion a boisterous old Captain was ‘‘struck under convic Mon 1 ’ under the preaching of Elder Swan, an eccentric revivalist. A. midnight the meeting clo.-e ’ at^d the' elder sent the Captain to h|s hoarding place with tin Injunction to !>ass the remainder 6f ^he night in solitary prayer. Du ring that period he was seen by Un people of the house on his knees, with the hot tears bathing his bronze face. &nd over-leard in his prayer as fol lows: “Oli Lord—Thou knowest 1 have been one of the -— ibat ever sailed deep water. Thou kuowest I have been one of the d 1 scrollers that ever struck a whale. Thou knowest I have raised from Genesis to Itevelatlon,” eieT etc. The Captain was received into the church, ami lie e'vei. after exemplyfied the life of a Christian. Of his conver Sjon the elder quaintly said: “He Was struck under conviction by one of the chilrpjie’s heaviest harpoons, and towed into the heavenly part, and we found in the old fellow an |ibuiuiunce of t l;e pi) of fa tli.” 'flie Crime ol‘ I.j ncliing.

The Holy h-ogue was an associa tion ot loyal people to protect the j'oung i pzsr. who might well liave exclaimed j with Henry IV: “Hay the Lord deliver me from my friends: i can take care of my enemies myself.” Tho idea of the association was to protect the y< rnig czar from tlie fate of his father. Ho! league (Loiataja dnuiina) was a Ferret order, or hrotlierliood. The meuih r>, among them many of the nobility., formed a sort of unpaid volunteer police corjis. Tlie founders of the league had the idea that they jimst fight the Nihilists with their own weajions. and so every- jhing was ccjiducted with ominous w<-- px*y. One scheme was to olfor rewards to workmen and peasants for information alxail revoliitiouists or their affairs. Tills Iwl only to futile endeavors to follow up false scents. Tlie folly of the heads of the league went so far as to attempt to imitate the Nihilists in secret associations and warn ings—even to send men to Switzerland and England to put out of the way living Nihilists. lake every novel proposition, however foolish, the plan found numor- ress spread on the ground, put his legs up in the air, and on the soles of his feet was placed a massive empty bronze water-jar four feet deep, into the mouth of which climbed a small boy. The man spun this with his feet, tossed it up in the air, caught it on the soles of his feet again, sometimes caus ing the jar to stand with its mouth uppermost while he spun it round and round, then tossed it up again, and caught it on its side, the boy the whole time sitting unconcernedly inside. His assistant then inserted, one after the other, between the jar and his feet a series of spitkins or wooden pans about a foot each in depth and decreas ing in diameter, so that when the seventh or eighth was in position the jar was at least seven feet above tho soles of his feet and standing on the top of this pile of smaller tubs. The boy now crawled out from the neck of the jar, and proceeded to clamber about on the outside for a while, the man all the THE BES«& CHEAPEST PLACE THE AniUOTE!;!

Many, among them tne Jews, contributed money to the undertaking with great ostentation, in order to show tbeir loyalty. But the league was a mere lia.scn.

On the other band, many of the so called Nihilists ar- reutod by the jiolicenien were shown to be the boy got back into the jar, when, by a sudden kick of tho legs, he sent the spitkins flying in all directions, and caught the jar and the boy as they de scended seven or eight feet through the air on to his feet again. It took two men to lift the empty jar on to his feet brought confusion into the conduct of tho government and died after a year of mcdkfliio. The amount of contributions was about £225,000, which was so skill fully managed by the gracious premier, who ac-ud as treasurer, that there was nothing left in tlie treasury at the end of the year.—Frederick Owen in Kansas City Times, # •Work Done In a Mine. A gentleman in St. Louis said recently: •‘People talk of the old Comstock mine, but they liave little idea what it was, • >r what an immense amount of work was done there. Take the Consoli fated California and Virginia. Every month for nearly four years 53,000,000 feet of lumber was used there for tim- bering-—enough to build a large city three times over. Tlie amount of .hoist ing done was simply wonderful. Eight hundred men were raised and lowered three times in the twenty-four hours, the tools were several times a day brought to the surface for sharpening, 5,000 tons of ice were lowered for daily use, and 2,000 tons of ore raised to the surface. Men oming out of the mines on the hottest •lay of the summer were chilled on 'Hiking tlie surface air, the change was great. You can get some idea of the immensity of the works from the fly wheel at the Union shaft, it alone weigh ing 105 tons. There is a great deal of work done on all paying mines, but this me was a great institution. I am some- > imes asked if there ever will be such a mining excitement a.s there was in those Jays in San Francisco.

Queer fish in tho Siuehil Swim. It is impossible to glance at the lists of •icoplo who are present at some of the •mertaimnonts given by the new rich in New York without feeling that somoaw- 'ully queer fish come to the surface in iliis so called society pond. It is not lemoerncy that rules in these circles, but ■x desire for notoriety—to see‘their names in the newspapers—that induces both men and women to make this splurge, but which has no more real social dis- 'inctian than the down stairs festivities of one’s domestics. People of no social nor artistic standing drift into these houses, md, Ix-ing well dressed, tliey pass mus- ‘er among the guests. Third rate artists, in the elated reporter’s vision, lend bril- lianey to those gatherings, and shady titles stir him to enthusiasm over the >)eaiity and splendor of the occasion. Perhaps it is a musicnle. perhaps a re ception—it ingkes nq odds if there is only a jam, a fine supper and plenty of cham- pagne. But to those who chance to know who is who the glowing descriptions read like a chapter of Thackeray’s “Book of Snobs.”—Boston Herald. Anna Dickinson and t!>o Driver. Of unadulterated impudence and cold assumption the coachman pf tho millipned upper thousands in New York provide the most nearly perfect sjxxamens to be found in tho United Stales. They appear to think that common vehicles and people on foot have no right in tho streets. they halloo at pedestrians who are about to get in the way, and rattle across streets with indifference as to who or what may bo on t!w crossings. Tlie average democratic New Yorker does not mind being whistled at by car drivers, and will make lively jumps over a crossing to get out of tho way of a milk wagon or a coal cart; hue when it comes to having a carriage drawn by prancing horses, with banged tails and silver mounted harness, bear down upon him with a “Halloo, there.” from a Jiver- red driver, he fbels more like cracking the horses’ nose with a stick than clearing a passage for them. He usually does nothing restrictive, however, and Anna Dickinson is there fore all the more a heroine. It was at Fourteenth street and Fifth avenue, in a recent rain storm. Tlie avenue was crowded with vehicles, and crossing was difficult. Anna had dodged in and out successfully, but she found when near tlie farther sidewalk that she had to wait a few seconds for a wagon loaded with long pieces of lumber to pare. As she stood there n carriage, containing the wife and daughter of A ten millionaire, came dashing up, and some inarticulate whoons from the driver warned her to get out. But she didn't. She stood as resolutely as if she bn 1 been on the" lec ture platform, and Jehu had to slacken tlie pace of his hors< though he let them walk up almost against her, and it looked as ;f it was hi intention, to drive | over her.

We infer that fires were kindled by their means in the ancient Swiss lake dwellings, from the fact that they occur among the remains in almost every one of these old habi tations. The common tinder polypore has also been found in the lake dwelling at Lochlee, in Ayrshire. These old lake dwellings were probably not with out their vices, and may have pounded polypoves to dust and snuffed that up as eagerly as ccitain natives of Northern Asia do at the present day.

So the league i to begin with, and the most extraordin- ary thing is the great weight he thus pedipulated. An Unsteady Island. Once, during a heavy gale from the east, a party of spongers in an open boat were driven off shore, and so fierce was the hurricane that their only hope was to keep the boat before the wind and run out into the Gulf. For four oi five hours the headlong race was kept up; but finally the wind abated, and by early morning tho sea was ns smooth as glass, a peculiarity often noticed there after a gale. They had been car ried far out of sight of land, and were well nigh worn out, when one of the spongers exclaimed that they were near ing shore, and soon the entire party saw a familiar sight that seemed tc signify a reef —a flamingo standing motionless in the water. As the boat drew near, the bird raised its graceful neck, straightened up, and stretched its wings as if to fly; then, seeing that they were not going to molest it, it resumed its position of security. To their astonishment, tne men soon perceived that, instead of resting on a reef, the bird had alighted on a huge leather turtle that was fast asleep upon the water. Indeed, the flamingo was in iistress, like themselves, having been Mown off shore by the same storm, and it had evidently taken refuge on the sleeping turtle. The men did not at tempt to disturb it, and their last view is they pulled away to tho east was oi the flamingo attempting to lift one leg and go to sleep, an act which the undu lating motion of the floating turtle ren- iered well nigh impossible. A Good Reason for Quitting '* Kim going to quit smoking cigar ettes,” said a young man who has led move than one german in St. Paul. ‘ What's the matter?” I asked. “ Well,” tie responded, “it isn’t because it’s a vile habit that is going to carry mt lown to an early grave, or anything oi Lhat soit. One placed me, or rather a young lady, in a very embarrassing position. There is a very charming young lady on St. Anthony Hill whom [ should like very much to make my wife, and I know she feels as I do; but I am not able yet to support a wife, sc I have never said a word to the young lady’s parents. Well, the other evening she and I took a stroll. It was about half past nine when we returned to the house, so I did not go in. We stood chatting for a few moments and I lighted a cigarette. When she went into the honse, I, of course, kissed her good night. Well, without giving it a thought she went in, bade her mother good night, and kissed her also. The old lady immediately tjetected the odor of the cigarette on her daughter’s lips and questioned her about it. The poor girl had either to acknowledge that I kissed her or that she smoked a cigar ette. When the young lady told ms about it I had not the courage to ask her what course she chose. Now you know why cigarettes and I will bt strangers in the future.” , ——«• — « »• — A Simple Remedy for Biliousness. The way to get the better of the bili- 3U8 system without blue pills or quinine is to take the juice of one, two, or three ; emons, as appetite craves, in as much water as it makes pleasant to drink with out sugar, before going to bed. In the morning, on rising, at least half an houi Defore breakfast, take the juice of one emon in a goblet of water. This will ilear the system of humor and bile with ffliciency, without any of the weakening jffects of calomel. People should not jritate the stomach by eating lemons dear; the powerful acid of the juice, which is always most corrosive, invari- tbly produces inflammation soon after, >ut, properly diluted, so that it does not nun or draw the throat, it does its modi- :al work without harm, and, when tin •tomach is clear of food, has abundarr mportunity to work over the system.
