Some Doubts as to Its
Xnito-
duotuton4
Thomas Carlyle once declared that
"the biggest gold nugget evet found
was never halt so Useful to the world
as one good mealy potato." Yet the
potato ° had a hard figlit for recog-
nition. It is probable that the potato
was originally an American plant, but
141 Utile became universal thro'ugh its
adoption as an artiele of food in Eu-
rope,
There are many claimants for the
honor of its introduction. Some saY
that It was the naterelist Clusius who
planted the tuber ie the 13otancial Gar-
dens at Vienna in 1688, but •the Span-
ieh say that the plant was brought'
from South America about 1580. They
assert it was taken from Spain into
lltaly and Belgium, and that it was
trona a Belgian -that Clusitis obtained
his roots.
There are other stories, however.
Sir .Tohn Hawkins on returning from
Santa Pe in 1563 had with him some
Potatoes, but it is more than probable
that they were yams or "sweet peza-
toes," tbe same that Columbus describ-
ed as "not unlike chestnuts in fl -av-
er," Sir Walter Raleigh is said to hate
got the real potato from Virginia in
1586; but his claim is disputed, end,
it is asserted that the genuine "Irish"
potato is a native of Chile.
Tradition has it thee Sir Francis
Drake made a present of potato roots
to lialeigh, who planted them in his
garden in County Cork in 1594, but it
is not until 1610 that we have any
authentic record of potatoes in Ire-
land, In 15e7 a book on herbarietetil-
eine was written by Gerard, the front-
ispieceeto which was a 'portrait of, the
author holding a potato in his hand.

food it was the "seed" or "apple" that
was used, and it was some time be-
fore the tuber was found to be the
most delicious food. Up to the end of
Ole seventeenth 'century the .potato
was out of the reach of people of mod-
erate incomes. It is recorded that in
1662 potatoes were sold at one shil-
ling (25 cents) a pound in the Lon-
don markets, but the sale was small
because so many people believed that
the potato ,caused leprosy and fever.
Others declared that they were endan-
gering their souls if they ate the po-
tato, since the tuber was not mention-
ed -in the Bible.
It appears that nothing or little was
known of the potato in Scotland un-
til long past the middle of the eigh-
teenth century. The Duchess of Buc-
cleuch in her "Household Book" for
the year 1701, speaks of the potato as
"as esculent of great rarity."
There is no doubt that the Irish
were the first people to recognize the
value of the potato as a, staple article
of food.

▪ WEIRD DREAM STORY,
The Startling Vision That Saved
the Life of Lady Vernon.
The following dream story is told in
• "The Story of My Lite," by Augustus
J. C. Hare. Tne story was told to
Mr, Hare in Rome in 1870:
• "Lady Vernon dreamed that she saw
the butler, with a knife in one hand
and a candle in the other, crossing' the
'entrance hall, and she awoke with a
great start. After awhile she com-
posed herself to sleep again, and she
,dreamed -she dreamed that she saw
the butler, with a knife in one hand
and a candle in the other, on the Mid-
dle of the staircase, and she aevoke
with a great shock. She got up. She
.thought she could not be quite well,
and she took a little sal volatile. At
last she fell asleep again, and she
dreamed -she dreamed that she saw
the butler, with a knife in one hand
and e dandle in the other, standing at
her bedroom door, and she awoke in a
great terror, and she jumped out of
bed, and she said, TII have an end of
this; I'll have an end of these foolish
imaginations.'
'And she rushed to the door and
threw it wide open. And there just
outside stood the .butlerwith a knife
'in one hand and a candle in the other.
Ahd when he suddenly ea* Lady Ver-
non in her white nightdress, with her
hair streaming down her back, he Was
so dreadfully frightened that he
dropped the candle on the floor and
rushed oft down the staircase and off
to the stables, where there was a horse
ready saddled and bridled, on which
he meant to have ridden away when
he had murdered Lady Vernon. And
he rode away Without having murder -
el her at all, and he was never heard
off again. .

NOT AN EASY um;
Life at the Home Office is by no
Means easy. The Home Secretary is,
in the first place, a great eere111011-
iallst. It is he who notifiee to the
country items of state intelligence,
declarations a war, treaties of peace,
And the births and death of princes,
It will be rexnembered that while Mr.
Churchill held the odic° lie had the
principal speaking part in the Inves-
titure of the Prince of Wales, and
even had his name printed on--th
flyleaf of the new prayer boo -a
very safe assurance of immortality.
But these are not the .duties which
get the Home Secretary into hot
water. It is rather that he is respon-
sible for the internal peace of the
country, supervises the police, ( -
trol s the prisons, and pardons and
refuses to pardon erinthaals; alien%
again, have always been under his
charge. And these are naturally the
volcanic regions- of public affeirs.
As far back as 1866 a certain Mr.
Spencer Walpole, who was Home Sec-
retary, got much the worst of it ill a
collision with the reform agitation.
Sir William Ilareoure hae the dyne -
mite outrages in his term of office;
Mr. Henry Matthews the Maybrick
case; Mr. Asquith the Featherstone
riots, and Mr. McKenna had his trou-
bles with the suffragettee.-Tit-Bits.
