UNENVIABLE DISTINCTION. Disgraceful and Deplorable Death of the Worst Defeated General of Modern Times, Gen. Oreste ratieri, died in the Austrian Tyrol recently, at the age of 60 years, achieved five years ago last gpring the distinction of being the worst defeated general modern times, reports the New York Mail and Express. He was the commander in chief of the ill-fated Italian Abyssin- iap expedition. Withanarmy of about 41,000 men under him at the beginning of the figthing Baratieri was utterly routed, and the greater part of his force killed er captured, by the brave and mobile Shoans, who were fighting for their independence.

A Tall Smoke Column, During the burning of the Standard Oil company’s tanks at Bayonne, N. J., in July, 1900, an immense cglumn of smoke, shaped at the top lil an um- brella, rose into the air, where very little wind wag stirring, an eleva- tion, measured by trig ation, of 13,411 feet, or more thy ‘0 miles and a half. Above the colt vhite clouds formed in an otherwit oudless sky, and remained visible fog@two days, the fire continuing to burn And the smoke to rise. After the explosion of a gas oil-tank flames shot up to a height of 3,000 feet, and the heat radiatéd from them was felt at a distance of a mile and three-quarters, where it was more noticeable than close to the fire.—Youth’s Companion. Long in England’s Service, It appears that the 69 years of tue Sprague family in the Gibraltar con- sulate are outdone by the services of the Fox family at Falmouth, England, which has lasted 107 years, the first American consul there having been Robert W. Fox, grandfather of the present incumbent, whom President Washington appointed May 30, 1794. The present consul’s son is vice con- sul, and is likely to succeed his fa- ther, as the salary is but $300 a year, though it is said that office-seekers are in the habit of representing to every administration that this important stipend is being wasted on English- men.—N, Y.

He was brave at Marsala, and if he had died at Adowa leading his men, as Dabormida did, he might have saved his reputation, not as a general, but as a fighter. As it was, he died in disgrace. THE POPULAR POTATO. Is Regarded as Strange That Everybody Eats a Vegetable of So Little Nutriment, It One of the best known physicians in Worcester declares the potato fam- ine a blessing in disguise, if people will replace the potato with substitutes of greater food value. He thinks, as we do, that there is none of the articles of food in common use that contain so little nutriment as the potato, and many others furnish more in smaller amounts at much less relative cost. He especially names shredded wheat, rice, raw cabbage and fruits as more nour- ishing than potatoes—and, in fact, all grain foods, says the Boston Budget. When the potato rot brought fam- ine to Ireland the people of that coun- try were not prepared to resist it, as they were probably at the lowest con- dition, both mentaldy and physically, that the people of that country ever and thousands whose subsist- ence had been for years upon that root perished from famine; then America sent them ship loads of corn and other provisions, and those who were, wr En: inva mutual sociability. ly happens that the of royalty see very lj tinguished guests. country houses the ooms forms a self-cc which even a garden i tached, and dinner hg only household megl guests are expeetéd to sha hostess and the latter’s family World.
