villagers. He lad the reputation of

witches and sorcerers is still rampant

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.

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-

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-

WP manner. A military tri-
ounal of six generals acquitted him of

him of the charge of tactical error, and
they deplored in their verdict the fact
that the command of the Italian troops

Baratieri, a native of Austria, had
been one of Garibaldi’s red-shirts,
with Crispi, and had been favored by
the powers that were. He was brave at

leading his men, as Dabormida did, he
might have saved his reputation, not

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,

The Greatest Grapevine,
North Carolina can boast the large
grapevine in the world. It is on th
farm of B. F. Meekins, Roanoke Islan
not far from the site of Fort Raleigh
and near the birthplace of Virginia
Dare. It is claimed that the vine was
planted by Sir Walter Raleigh's ill-
fated colony in 1587. It is of the Scup-.

ground, and yields about a ton of
grapes annually.—Iowa State Reg-

Sinmese Don’t Want Christianity,
Hamilton King, consul general of

people of that country do mot want

of their country. But the king is will

Not Popular with the Small Boy.
Small Girl—What do you think
about men and boys wearing girls’
shirt waists, anyway?
Small Boy (in his sister's bloomers

When Grace Was Said,
A Barnard college girl tells in the:
New York Times of visiting in a house- :
hold where grace was said at the table
—semioccasionally. Her curiosity got |
the better of her, and she asked the
mistress of the house why they didn’t
observe the rite regularly. “Why,”
gaid the lady with some surprise, “we
say grace only when we have'reason to
be thankful. We never dream of giv-
ing thanks when we have only roast
beef or beefsteak, or some simplething :
like that. But whenever we have game
or something really nice then we say,
