Now, in the beginning that was indeed the The Pirst Use of the Potato. There is much curious amusement to be had in tracing where the foodstuffs we use and the domestic animals we eat or use originally came from. Professor Max Mul- ler, reasoning through his science of words, finds that the goose WASI domesticated very early, or at least 801110 bird like it. Goose in English, gan in German'drop. ping the " g " according to the laws of language, the word becomes miser in Latin 11101 correspondingly in Greek, with the aspirate that marks the cligainma dropped, mid so back to mom in the Sanscrit. Our prehistoric Sansorit aneestors of the Imlian fable lands had geese, Professor Muller therefore coochules, 017 birds resembling them closely. Through thousands of years the name has remained, varying °My &mooed- tng to the known laws of the clutege of promundation, and probably the thing stood throughout behind the name. Such is the antiquity of geese. It 18 since Queen Elizabeth's time, only four and a half centuries ago, that tobacco, sugar, and potatoes have been esed, Sir Walter Raleigh being instrumental in es- tablishing the use of all these in England. The circumnavigator, Francis Drake, has the credit of introducing the potato in Europe, but the Spaniards bad brought it with the tomato from the Andes some while before, and it was established there and in Italy, where they tartutfoli, long before Sir Walter Raleigh shipped his cargo, 1n11126, from Virgins. to England. According to Humboldt it has been cultivated in England since 1084, in Saxony since 1728, andsinee 1738 in Prussia. There 1008 11111011 difficulty in introducing the potato into France. It was only toward the end of the reign of touts NW, that it begsn to be used. 'The learned had opposed its introduction systematically, saying it produced leprosy, and the common people refused to (08(1 11 even on their live stook. A trick at last established it. Fields were planted all 0001 10,01100 with potatoes and carefully guarded till the tubers were ripe, it being given out that these fielde were grOWing anew thing especially for the King, and that trespassers woul(1 be pro. scented. Now, the laws at that 111110 10e10 severe. A man might be hum, when he hunted in the wild forest, for tlie grime 01118 the seigneurs', almost each one of whom kept the private gallows. Trespess against the King implied, therefor°, terrible punishment. The danger of the punishment proved itself an alinring, bait.

At the present day, when WO are aeons. tomed to look upon iron as the ehief eon. strnetioe material with which civil engineers aoitarchitects all over the world deal, the first iron bridge, that was over built is a ;metres sight, This bridge, the arches of which were made of iron, 1000 00110(1 "Iron" bridge," and it WiLS erected in 1778. 11 spans a little river in the county of Salop, on the railroad line from Shrewsbury to Worcester, in England. At the present day the structure is surrounsled by a thriving little village, which took its name from the bridg,c). Several thou foundries have been established in the neighborhood. The strac, tine was a titnid attetopt at what has since developed 1010 185 extensive industry. There are three supports; two of them see very small and cross a uarrow country road, while the third and largest one ;mans the bed of the river. It is about 00 (eel long and weighs 378 tons. The braces were 00.81 ab Coal. brookdale, every bar being composed of two segments. Stephenson, the great civil en- gineer, wrote as follows on the construction of this first iron bridge " we bear in mind that the manipulation of cast iron 0010001 the time 0( 110 erection in its infaney we cannot 11019 1)111 feel convinced that un- blushing audacity alone could conceive of such an enterprise, and the intelligence with which the details were ontlipect and execut. d is equal to the boldness of the concep- tion." The bridge is constantly used and is in excellent condition, a foot which disproves all the ominous clemorings of °ranks that the pernicious influences of rust will sooner or later bring danger to the iron bridge of to.clay.

My face was yellow, my head dull, and I had such pains in my left side. In the morning whent I got up I would have a flow of mucus in the mouth, and a bad, bitter taste. Sometimes my breath became short, and I had such queer, tumbling, palpitating sensations around the heart. I ached. all day under the shoulder blades, in the left side, and down the back of my limbs. It seemed to be worse - in the wet, cold weather of Winter and Spring; and whenever the spells came on, my feet and hands would turn cold, and I could get no sleep at all. e I tried everywhere, and got no relief before using August Flower Then the change came.
