» when the present Czar was twenty-three
vears of age, a list was prepared at St.
Petershurg of. marriageable German
princesses, and under the care of Count
Orloff the Crzareviteh went to visit
them. He had been to Berlin and the
ecorris of North Germany, and was on
his way to Carlsruhe when he arrived
at Frankfort. The prince was about to
resame bis journey when he received an
invitation from the Grand Duke of
Hesse-Darmstadt to dine at the palace
of Darmstadt. As a matter of courtesy
only the invitation was accepted, and
after dinner the court adjourned to
another room for tea. There the Rus-
ginn Celebs in search of a wife saw a
voung lady of sixteen, accompanied by
fier roverness, whose appearance was
so charming by its simplicity that he
inquired who she was. The Princess
Mary was the daughter of his host, but
her name was not on the St. Peters-
burg list. Presently the rosal and im-
perial personages proceeded to thedraw-

! FARM, GARDEN AND HOUSEHOLD.
The Uses of the Potato.
In France the farina is largely used
for oulinagy purposes. The famous
ravies, sauces, my soups of France are
largely indebted for their excellence to
that source, and the bread and pastry
equally so, while a great deal of the $0
called cognae, imported into England
from France, is distilled from the potato.
Throughout Germany the same uses
are common. In Poland'the manufac
ture of spirits from the potato is a
most extensive trade. ** Stettin brandy,”
well known in commerce, is largely im
ported into England, and is sent! from
thence to many of our foreign possessions
as the produce of the grape, and is
placed on many a table of England as
the same; while the fair ladies of ow
country perfume themselves with the
spirit of potato under the designation of
ean de Cologne. But there are other uses
which this esculent is turned to abroad
After extracting the faring, the pulp is
manufactured into ornamental articles,
such as picture frames, snufl boxes, and
several desowiptions of toys, and the
water that runs from it in the process of
manufacture is a most valuable scourer
For perfectly cleansing woolens, and
such like articles, it is the housewife's
panacea; and if the washerwoman hap
pens to have chilbinins she become
cured by the operation.
Few persons are aware of the great
demand for potato flour, and of the:
most unlimited extent of the marke
that can be found for this product
which is simply the dry evaporated puij
of she ordinary polato~-the whiter ana

and with the aid of acid is turned into

and increasing demand in its primitive
state, as potato flour, and in Lanoashiy
alone 20,000 tons are sold annually, and
as many more would be taken if put on
the market. When caloined itis used

At present the quotation for po
tato flour in Liverpool is nearly double
that of wheat flour. Consignments to
Liverpool are solicited by the brokers
there, who promise to take all that ean
be furnished.
During the Franco-German war the
French government purchased all the
farina it could secure and mixed it with
wheaten flour in “potato cakes" for the
army. Farina at that time rose to $200
a ton, and even the supply fell far short
of the demand. Since wd an increased
amount of farina has been regularly
consumed in France, and farina mills
have correspondingly multiplied in that
country. The manufacture of potato
flour is so simpie, and the results so
methodical, that it requires very little
experience to reach a satisfactory issue
The potatoes are first steeped in water
from six to twelve hours to soften the
dirt and other matter adhering, after
which they are thoroughly washed by
mechanioal means with the aid of either
steam or water power. They are then
reduced to a pulp by a rasping or grind-
g process in a properly constructed
miil. A smallstream of water is caused
to flow on the upper surface of the rasp
or grinder, to keep it clean of accumu la-
ion of pulp. From the grinder th
pulp falls into a washing machine,
through which the farina is forced by
revolving brushes, the coarser pulp be
ing thwown out at lateral openings. The
evantles of farina pass into a trough,
and are corducted to vats, where the
farina is permitted to deposit. After
the proper number of filtrations and de-
positions have oceurred, until

latter becomes of sufficient consistency

dry. The drying process can be accom-
piished in a building supplied with
shelves, and capable of being heated
from 60°, at which the farina begins to
. up to 212°, which is as high a tem-
perature as it will require. The heating
apparatus may be such as is most conve-
nient. In Europe the farina is packed
in 200 to 812 pound fine sacks, but flour
barrels are said to be preferable, as the
wood protects it from damage and
allows it to be transported safely to the
distant regions.— The Journal of
Applied Science.

ounce of spirits of vine, and a quarter

subject to the majority of men. The

pigny, director of a celabrated diamond
firm in Paris, pronounced them genuine;
whereupon followed the great dinmond
panic (1898), which affected the whole
commercial giobe, A few years iatey
the French savant, Desprets, again
startled the world by announcing that
he had produced artificial diamonds,
His method was to fix a cylinder of

weak Daniell pile, and a platinum wire
to the negative pole, and then to plunge
both ‘poles into acidulated water n

sure that it will ere long be answered

Such a discovery would pot be much
more remarkable than the discovery

facets, and perfected by Coster in mak-

effect of such a discovery may be con-

panic of 1528, It would revolutionize
values, and create a prodigious commo-

motion would abate in due time, and good
