A good-sized sponge is nice for clean- ing paint and washing windows. Handle the lamp carefully when aflame; it is an invaluable friend, yet contains elements of disaster. Gloves should always be mended be- fore they are cleansed, as the repairs will show less than if they are made after the cleansing. Cloth and woollen dresses should be taken out of wardrobes frequently, while the wardrobes are being cleared from dust, and exposed to the fresh air. Ripe bananas put up in cans with condensed milk make a nutritious food for those who like the flavor. It is said to keep as well as any other canned product. Eggs whipped and diluted with milk are more quickly digested than when taken unchanged from the shell. Hard poiled and fried eggs reqnire three and a half hours for digestion. Aspray of pure oil of turpentine mixed with one per cent of lavender oii is said to have an astonishing effect in purifying the air of living rooms, the action being attributed to the ozone formed. Ashoe that is uncomfortable from pinching may be fixed by laying a cloth, wet in hot water, across the place where it pinches, changing it as it grows cooler, for a number of times. This will cause the leather to shape itself to the foot. = TE Neo3 THE POTATO. !TS HISTORY CAN BE TRACED BACK TO THE FIFTEENTH CENTURY. its Itinerary Has Been Extensive—In Early Days It Was Little Appreciated, Bat Has Now Won a High Place in Popular Favor ~ Known By Various Names. The potato has a good family name, Solanum tuberosum, and is related to various plants to which it has no marked likeness. Some others of the tribe are the narcotics, tobacco, belladonna, hen- bane, and more useful are the esculents, the tomato, egg plant and capsicum. Like some other old families, the best of itis underneath the ground, but, unlike them, it has improved with sue- ceeding years, until now it is known and esteemed the world over. The potato can trace its history back to the fifteenth century, though it was an insignificant member of society at that time. It has traveled somewhat extonsively, thereby increasing its rep- utation. Its first home was in Mexico, where it occupied a place high up on the mountains, it being too warm at their foot for any potato worthy of the name to grow. From Mexico it passed ou to Peru and Chili. Early in the sixteenth century it was carried by Spanish explorers to Spain. These same worthies undoubtedly introduced it to Virginia which it liked well, and where it continued to grow with per- fect satisfaction until Sir John Hawkins took some to England as a sample of what Virginia could do. England did not seem to consider it much of an ac- complishment, but thought, as it in- creased and multiplied rapidly, it would be a suitable plant for Ireland. There- fore, it was grown in Ireland to avoid famire. Any one who fed on nothing but potatoes would soon cease to care whether there was famine or not. Be- ing composed of little beside starch, they will not sustain life any great length of time. The potato fora man’s stomach is like a flirt to his heart, a good accompaniment on various occa- sions, but poor Cependence for all times. ‘The name has somewhat changed— the same has been noticed in more as- piring families than the potato. Origi- nally, it was batata, which it was called by the Spanish. From that it has passed through many styles to the “pratie,” that now grows in several sec- tions of Yankee land. The word, ba- tata, undoubtedly was the nearest ap- proach of the Spaniards to the term given the tuber by the Caribs, or what- ever Indian tribe showed its uses to them. It was given indiscriminately to this potato and the sweet potato, which mm entire different family, but “~~ ins the old name, ‘There are members which to this day grow wild, being like their human pro- totypes, useless in proportion to their wildness. ‘These are found only in South America and some islands off the coast. The wild tubers are very small and as they show the results of culure they grow big. Potatoes in the early days of their history were but little regarded, and after they had been known for some years, even @ century, it was a small hold they had on the appetites of the people. If only they could have seen this day, when a dinner is not a dinner without the potato in some form! The first description extant of the potato was written in 1587, where it is described by Gerard in his “Herbal under the name “Batata Virginiana.” After this, on a small scale it was cultivated in Burgundy, Italy, and the Netherlands. It was at this time that England generously passed it over to Treland, not caring herself to patronize American industries in the vegetable line. Along in 1771 England had con- cluded that the two varieties, red and white, then known, were food for swine and cattle, and, as said before, they had been tried on the people of Ireland. Before England began to take to them as an article of diet they had found favor in France. At first they were decidedly out of favor, as the wise men of the day said to eat pota- toes was to have leprosy. Wise men, of course, never make such mistakes in this century, bat what better could be expected then? The king did not fear disease for the common people—it would not hurt him any—so he en- couraged them by words, and by wear- ing the blossom in his coat, to eat the tubers, but they would not eat. At last he had a field planted, a fence built around it, and he caused to be spread far and wide that those potatoes were forthe king only. Any one found digging or eating them would be killed. Human nature of that day was like that of the present. Men said anything having been shut up so closely must be worth getting, and they watched their chances and stole all they could. The story does not add that any one was ever killed for the theft, but the potato business got a boom then in France which helped it greatly. Louis XIV. did many things which he ought to have left undone, therefore he should have credit for one thing he did which was a benefit to his people. After the French cooks had mastered the potato, other nations learned to pronounce it good, and its shadow will probably never grow less. Lest! ee ee ke < eee
