There is also • difference of opinion in regard to plentwg the same seed aevend years in succession, and of obtaining new seed (rete a higher northern latitude. We roust nut luso sight of the fact that the potato is nut the seed, but a tu- ber or a rout; that two varieties planted in the same hill will retain their dis- tinctiveness, though we have heard in- telligent men deny it. Tubers can nu more mix than the roots of an apple and pear can mix and produce a tree. This point being settled, we can better under- stand what guslities are must desirable in spring; for ii it is not possible to change the variety, then vigor of growth is about all that we can do by the selec- tion of tubers. An ordinary potato has from twelve to twenty eyes, though varieties differ and some may Deme under and others go ever this number; but in any variety the number of eyes in • small potatoes is about as many as in the large ones. This being the case, if we put two small potatoes in a hill, as is the rule with those who plant small potatoes, we shall have thirty eyes t.+ start; if one half of them start some of them must start with very little vigor. As the potato is small he stalks must be very near together, and having but a very small amount of nourishment to drew from,in the potato, the roots must seek to gather nouriab- ment from the soil; but se many stalks are to be supported that the roots crowd and cramp each other; the result of this is small stalks sad leaves, and a very large number of small potatoes. If two large potatoes are planted in a hill they will afford more nourishment to the young sprouts, the stalks being farther apart trig grow more vigorous, because the roots are not sit cramped. The leers vigorous the tops, as a rule. the result will be a better crop than the small potatoes afford, but a large pro- portion of them will be of stroll size. A series of experiments very carefully tried have led to the eunclueit+n that heavy seeding produces much the largest number of potatoes, but not the greatest quantity of good market pohit.es; that light seeding will produce nearly the same weight of potatoes, while most of thein will be large enough for market Two years ago an experiment was tried to ascertain which end of the pota- to was best for sued. A good sized potato was cut in the middle, so that one half would be the seed end, and the other half the large end; the halves were cut again, and the two pieces from the abler us to estimate the prestige whish Beed end planted in one hill, and the I we have gained by that madcap enter - two pieces from the other end, planted I Prize" Pall Mall Gazette. by the side of it, the hills being three feet in the rows and the rows three and one-half feet apart, and thus one row contained the seed end and the next row the other end of the same potato. The result, as might have been anticipated, was • very large number of small pots trees from the seed end; and not quite the same weight of large potatoes from the seed of the large end of the Tot/items The trial was a failure, and only -prov- ed what was before known, that many eyes in a hill make small potatoes. The fact that the seed end has nearly all of the eyes was entirely overlooked at the time of planting. The present year the same experiment was tried over again but he precaution was taken to remove all but ire eyes from each piece, wheth er from the seed er the other end of the potato; two pieces were planted in each hill.

In the streets of Lahore, according to an Anglo-Indian contemporary, the po_ pular amusement of late has been a sa- tirical representation of the Afghan war. A performing monkey is ordered by his master to show how th British marched into Afghanistan. The monkey came jumping along, dressed up for the occa- sion in all the bravery of red coat yellow trousers, plumed hat, and an old toy gun. He strutted about to a lively a000mpani- went on the tom-tom, and ever and anon would make a rush with his gun at any unfortunate who happened to come in kit way, stroking a pair of false mous- taches, id looking fiercely around upon the rabble. Orders were then given to how how the British came back from Cabul. The monkey divested himself of his gorgeous uniform, and, snatching up a dirty old rag, came forward once more, with slow teed tottering steps. Covering his face with the rag, he skulked along until he got behind shelter. The roars of Laughter which greeted this suggestive little comedy were well deserved. When the monkey -like trick of invading Af- ghenistaa was resolved upon, the igno- minious sequel of an inevitable with- drawal was plainly forseen and, indeed, announced in advance by theist* govern- ment.

(I7b71 The naming of a member was not to common an event formerly as it has re- cently become in the British commons, and the consequences were not so well understood. "Sir, sir, I must name you," Speaker i melee often threatened upon a member's persisting in any dis- order. Being asked on one occasion what would happen if the threat was put into execution, and a member nam- ed, he answered, "The Lord in heaven knows !" During the present session the the threat has been put into execution several times, and what invariably hap- ,ened was the suspension of the mem- ber from the service of the house during t'te remainder of the day's sitting. But neither the naming of • member nor the consequences of it have seriously liscon.erted the hone rulers, or lessen- ed their hostility to the Government's Irish measures. heel Manners. Notice some reasons why the young should cultivate good manners very earn- estly. Bemuse the rights of others de- mand it. Courtesy is simply a carrying out of human rights. Men have a right nut only to life, liberty and property, but W recognition, respect, the comfort and enjoyment of life. We have no more right to deprive them of these by our conduct to them than to rob them of their good name or of their property. A boy owes it to his elders to treat them with respect; and teal! to behave toward them with thoughtfulness for their well - fare. If he is insolent on the street, or disorderly in a lecture or at echoul, he is a kind of swindler. A girl owes it to society to set with kindly care for the feelings and enjoyments of others; if she is rude and boisterous in public places or if in a ooncert she disturbes others by munching candy, or by whispering id giggling, she is a cheat. She defrauds others of the pleasure they }Ave a right to. Because the manners of oar youth will cling to us through life. The habits of language and the gait in walking to which tine accustoms himself in the first twenty years of his life, always go with hits, so a coarse, rude spirit, or a sel6ah, disagreeable manner indulged in fur the first twenty years will flavor the whole after life. Because our manners will in- fluence others powerfully, for good in' evil. Behave nobly, and you draw others toward a noble life; behave mean- ly, and you inevitably demoralize others. One rotten apple will spoil a dozen sound ones and 'evil communications' from one bad example will 'corrupt the good man- ners' of those who would otherwise be noble. Because our manners make us at-. tractive or repulsive to others, and so affect our success in life. Many lads owe their positions to their courtesy; others have lost excellent . chances be- cause they were known to be unprinci- pled selfish and coarse.

Jor- dan A Word to cars.. Dress as plainly as your parents will allow you, but in bright colors (if they become you), and in the best materiae —that is to say, in those which wear longest. When you are really in want of a new dream cut it (sr maks it) in the fashion; but never quit an old one mere- ly because it has become unfashionable. And if the fashion be costly, you must not follow it. You may wear broad stripes or narrow, bright colors or dark, short petticoats or long (in moderation), as the public wish you: but you must not buy yards of useless stuff to make a knot or a flounce of, nor dreg them be- hind you over the ground. I have lost much of the faith I once had in the com- mon sense, and even in the personal delicacy of the present race of average English women by seeing how they will allow their dresses to sweep the streets as if it is the fashion to be scavengers.
