The seed potatoes are put into old barrels and small boxes to keep them warm and make them means of charcoal fire in a bake oven. The potatoes will begin to grow, and in four to six weeks they will be the size of peas. The discoverer tells how he plants in the followiug language : “T.now knock.the barrels or boxes to sprouts and myriads of new potatoes. The numerous roots hold the whole mass together, and I load it on hand- barrow and have two men carry it down the row while I break off a hand- ful of the mass and drop it on the bank in the furrow already prepared, asstated Count the little potatoes on the stems until you can form an idea of how much of a handful you must break off. Your hand should not contain more than for- ty nor less than twenty. “I plant in a water furrow, but leave a narrow balk in the bottom and upon this I drop the seed every eighteen inches. . Part, of the seed falls on one eo I have really a double hill. I cover with two furrows. The. seed I use is generally the size of English peas, though they run from the size of a bird's eye tothat ofa marble, Of these I drop from twenty to sixty in each hill, and if there is enough rain every one will make a fine potato. It never takes more tnan seventy-five potatoes grown in this way to make a bushel, and often sixty will do it; but it takes manure to grow them, After rains, I put li. quid manure in addition to the manure already in the soil. The manure gov- erns the yield.” It is claimed by the new method po- gatoes can be grown in from four to six weeks, while the old method requires from three to four months. By the new method, six crops,can be taised annual, ly. Of course the ground is heavily fertilized.—Hortieultural Gleaner. | The Raleigh correspondents, have opportunity. to interview people from all sections of the State, report the crystillization of some sentiment favor- ing the nomination of Col.

Edward, voyaged around Lake farthest point — Nyangwe — on the banks of the Lualaba, has been told in detail in my. book “Through the Dark Continent.” It also relates how, after a tedious Jand journdy p jralletwith the viver, I made ready my. English boat, collected about a score of native tanbes, embarked my followers, and how, after’ a course of nearly 1,800 miles, we redched the Atlantic. dcean at the mouth of the Congo, ; By this river voy-. age the question which had puzzled Livingstone for 11 years was solved, It is a noticéable fact that when I began my descent of the Congo I was the only white 12an—excepting my companion, Frank Pocock—to be found. between the Zambesi and the Bahr-¢l-Ghazal, and between Zanzibar and the Lower Congo. | oe Tt may easily be understood why, on returning from the discovery of the great’ Affican waterway,’/I should be anxious that England should avail her- self of it. In 1816 England had dis- patched a naval expedition under Capt. Tuckey to ascend the Congo, but it ter- minated disastrously 200 miles inland. In 1873. Capt. G another English 1876 Admiral Hewitt's expedition had suppressed the pirates of the Lower Congo, For over 60 years Engiand had ‘kept watch over the Congo slavers. Half of the,expenses of my expedition had been contributed in England. She was also rich, tender and just toward the natives, and her people were the best colonizers in the world. All these facts were, in my opinion, claims that might justify England in stepping for- ward and taking possession.—Henry M.

Consul George Horton says “there are at the present. time about 400 bicyeles in Athens... They are mostly of English make. The average price at which wheels sell here is $78.65, and the average weight is 26 pounds. The character of the roads renders a lighter make impracticable, unless the machines are of a high grade and with a wide base. The duty on | hicycles is insignificant, not being manufactured here. “The history of the bicycle in Greece is interesting. The first machine was |’ brought here many years ago by the king. It was an all-wood affair, front driving, of the variety known as ‘bone- shaker.’ Naturally, his majesty did not appear in public on the streets, as bicycles were regarded by the natives as supernatural and uncanny for many years. The pioneer bicyclists of Greece were subjected to many inconvenien- ces and even dangers. They were hooted and laughed at on the streets of Athens, and were sometimes stoned and tumbled from their wheels, At the present day the rustic generally crosses himself and utters a prayer when a bicycle passes him, “Bicycling may be said to have com- menced here in earnest about eight years ago with the founding of several clubs and the adoption of the wheel as én amusement by leading Greeks, It is safe to predict a craze in the near future, as the royal family and many of the leading diplomats are now en- thusiasts. The crown prince and the English, Americen and German min- isters, among others, may be seen on the streets every day mounted upon wheels. Such leadership has more weight in Greece than it would have in } America, Last year one of the dealers here brought over five wheels of a cele- brated American type from New York. He had no difficulty in selling them im- mediately at 1,000 drachmas apiece, | They were lighter than the English wakes ordinarily used here, and very much admired, No attempt has since been made by American makers to place wheels in Athens, __ “Many agreeable excursions can he made with the wheel, among them from Athens to Phalerum, to the Piereus, to the king’s property at Tutoi, to Marathon,to Thebes and other placcs, Many long trips are possible; for ex- ample, there is a magnificent road skirting the sea all the way to Corinth. After stopping a day or two to visit the ancient Acropolis one may continue the journey to Nauplia, the capital of Greece under Otho, taking in the ruins of Mycenae, Argos and Tyreus on the way. The scenery of such a trip is magnificent beyond description, and the points touched at are of surpassing historical interest, The climate is fa- vorable for bicycling, there being a wet and a dry season, so that one knows be- fore starting what weather to expect.” The revival of the Olympian games, which occurs in April, will include bicycle races, and Consul Horton thinks American wheelmakers would find it advantageous to have a repre- sentative present.—Boston Herald. ‘pm ce ceo SAAN COR iy % Tothoseinwant x + Will PPR « Mynewsamples %& « willbehereina % a fewdays.
