of the"0 old lawyers asked him how, un

"I hopo I may get a little practice,"

He carried out his determination. The

AMI'.THOD BY WHICH IT IS CLAIMED
SIX CHOI'S OF l'OTATOES A YEAR
CAN BE GROWN.
If wishes could only be anwsered and
ti girl had but one, other things being
'I'lul, I should advise her to plead for
yelushes beautiful, long, curling ones.
There is nothing in (he world so servicea
ble as a pair of effective eyelashes. They
make any kind of an eye pretty. If one's
orbs are not a pleasing color, ull one has
to do is to drop the curtains, look down
not up; inwanl, not out. Let the cyc-
-hes lie along the check, and if they
arc the right kind one looks charming:.
And the lovely part of it is, for those
blessed, that they cannot bo counterfeit
ed. They arc never false, If you are
not born with them, sighiog for them is
of uo use. Nor can art supply the do
licieuey. She hides her head in shame
at her utter lack of skill, for they must
bo indigenous you can't sow, glue nor
pin them on.
Every now and then some one starts
up with un idea ubout making short,
thin eyelashes grow to bo the desired
kind, and every new scheme has its fol
lowers. Hut it is all hopelessly futile.
i girl can of course she doesu't pad
to help out shortcomings in her form.
She may borrow other people's hair, and
she may lay iu a stock of complexion
that will lust her a year that is, if she
should want to do such things, but she
can't button or hook on that desirable
silky friugo to the eye which would en
hance her charms immeasurably.
The latest theory on this subject
aunehed is that if the lashes are trimmed
every two weeks the result will be a very
thick growth. Hut it is a deep luid
plot ol some fortunate one to deprive her
sisters ol' the lit t lo they have. One girl
I know tri'd it. She took a very
sharp pair of embroidery scissors and neat
ly trimmed the lashes of her left eye
en she cxamiiud her work in the
mirror und was very much surprised at
the result. The left eve appeared much
nailer than the rivilit and tho row of
tile black stubs lelt very (pieer, to say
nothing of how they looked. And th
eomnienis u excited ana the questions
she bad to auswei! As bad as when
mini gets his hair cut.
"What is the matter with your eye?"
some one would ask. "Looks as ll you
were going lo have u sty." It took
long lime before that eye matched the
other, and there was not the slightest
dill'irence us regards the growth after it
did come out. Clearly that is a scheu
which deserves to be exposed.
It is always the way. A gill who
has everything has the eyelashes thrown
in, and age may wither her, but they arc
ltnperisiiaiite. A pretty little woman,
one who can give "butterfly kisses" beau
tifully, complains that sho cannot wear
veil with any comfort beeau:
her eyelashes get tnu"led in the meshes
and annoy her dreadfully." Poor thing!
She has tol l the story lo every one she
kuows, but nolle of the girls sympathizes
with her lvieh one one tried to muk
her own do the same thing. Philadcl

The secret of the new method of po
tato growing is to grow tho potatoes bo
fore planting and dig the potatoes
limited.
Sprout the potatoes und raiso little
potatoes from the sprouts to plant. To
obttiin these results tho discoverer of tho
new method constructed u sprouting
house with double wal's filled in with
sinnlu.t and sawdust overlieud, und
double doors. The seed potatoes are
put into old barrels und small boxes to
keep them warm and make them sprout.
The room is kept warm by means of a
charcoal fire in a bake oven. Tho pota
toes will begin to grow, nad in four to
six weeks they will be the size of peas.
The discoverer tells how he plants in
the following language.
"I now knock the barrels or boxes to
pieces, und I find a muss of roots and
sprouts and myraids of new potatoes.
Tho numerous roots hold tho whole mass
together, and I load it on handburrow
and have two men carry it down the row
while I break off a handful of the mass
and drop it on the bank in the furrow
already prepared, as stated. Count the
little potatoes on the stems until you can
form an idea of how much a handful you
must breuk off. Your htind should not
contuin more than forty nor less than
twenty.
I plant in a water furrow, but leave
a narrow balk in the bottom and upon
this 1 drop the seed every eighteen
indies. 1 art ol the seed lulls on one
side of the bulk and p.irt on the other, so
I have really u double hill. I cover with
two furrows. The seed I use is generally
the size of English peas, though they run
from the size of a bird's eye, to that of a
marble. Of these I drop from twenty to
sixty in each hill, and if there is enough
rain every one will mako a fine potato,
It never takes more thun seventy five
potatoes grown in this way to make
bushel, und often sixty will do it) but it
takes manure to grow them. After
rains, I put on liquid manure already in
d soil. The manure governs the yield
It is claimed by the new method, po
tatoes can be grown in from four lo ix
weeks, while thu old requires from three
to four mouths. By the new mcthi
six crops can be raised annually. 01
course the ground is heavily fertilized.

IT CANNOT BRING l'EACE TO THE
MINI), AND A SOLACE TO THE
BOSOM.
What a despot, what a tyrant, what
on idol. People nre swayed by it, ruined
by it, and are made to bow down to it in
fondest und most willing worship. And,
as the Orange Observer says, it makes
people mean und corrupt and dishonest.
It makes them client nnd lie und swindle
nnd steal and rob and murder. It de
stroys the noblest impulses of the human
heart, and plants in their place the
noxious weeds of that deadly avarice
that endangers the soul and threatens it
with everlasting ruin and destruction.
It turns sister against brother, futhcr
against son, wife against husband. It
sows weeds of discord and briars of
estrangement where flowers of concord
and kindest feelings once bloomed in
richest luxuriance and sweetest beauty.
And yet with all of its power and with
all of its influence it cannot bring peace
to the mind, and a solace to the bosom;
und neither can it purchase tho blessed
hopo of blissful immortality.
When death comes and the grave
ipens its sodded arms to receive into its
pulseless embrace the lifeless form, then
its power is ull gone, und its memory
becomes a curse to those who once had
been its worshippers. It will be a curse,
for its false glitter und useless valuo have
so ruined thu heart, that it will shut out
those richer and grander and sublimer
scenes which will burst upon the en
raptured vision of those who have
purchased by faith and obedience
birth right to the fadeless crown of
eternal glory so gloriously and so
radiantly studded with jewels of everlust
ing peace und rest.
