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.

language, the word becomes miser in Latin

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,

to Humboldt it has been cultivated in
England since 1084, in Saxony since 1728,
andsinee 1738 in Prussia.
