that the numher, as well as the size,

several weeks ;ifter the first potatoes
were largo enough to dig. A small

found to occur even after the vines
had been killed by frost. The maxi

found to occur about the last of Au

approximately so days after planting.
An Interesting de clopmeiit of the

Weight of tubers pel1 bill were found
to be influenced by the size ami the

whole potato used as seed yielded

FRETTING NAUGHT BUT FOLLY
But Many Sermons on the Subject
Have Failed to Convince People
of Its Uselessnees.
In that doleful, delightful hook, "Tho
lMucatloii of Henry Adams," occurs a
phrase, "the folly of fret," which Im
better than the usual expression, "the
uselessnoss of worry."
Many sermons have been preached,
many lectures delivered, many medical
opinions pronounced, many household
homilies uttered, on that theme.
The trend of applied science In our
century Is toward the reduction of
friction and the elimination of waste.
And a big part of friction and of
waste Is w orry.
We worry about the human machine.
We Imagine that all sorts of dreadful
things are about to happen to us. (Mir
thoughts ought to he on our work and
they are diverted by our worries.
We worry about losing a position In
business or our standing In society.
There would be less excuse for anxiety
If we would spend the energy con
sumed In trying to do our work still
better, trying to serve more satisfac
torily the community we live In, striv
ing to discharge the various and deli
cate offices of friendship with lu
croused tact and perception and sym
pathetic selflessness.
Worry Is quite another matter from
a proper carefulness, that weighs a
proposition and looks all round Its ob
ject ere acceptance.
A man who Investigates before he
buys, who considers alternatives and
who asks questions before deciding,
who makes no leap In the dark, is not
open to the reproach of one whose
"folly of fret" merely leads him In
frantic circles, like a tethered donkey.
All his fuss and clamor Issue In noth
ing but an ecstasy of motion and emo
tion. Man power Is too precious to he
thrown away in these gyrations that
are the pantomime of futility.
(live us more of the calm, big men
who plan and then proceed.
They seem to have time. They do
not operate In a flutter and a fever
resembling the hen yard or the stock
pen. They make up their minds and
preserve their equanimity. Seeing
them so cool and controlled, those who
do everything in u panic or n paroxysm
try their best to excite them by tell
ing them the house Is burning down
or the world Is coming to an end.
Hut these quiet and capable ones
are not deceived. They know that It
Is not for man to say when his own
life or his own work shall end. In
trust and peace they continue on their
way avoiding "the folly of fret" that
victimizes and weakens other men.

Relics of an Extinct Race.
Kellcs of an extinct Indian race are
being uncovered on the Santa nez
river by a road construction gang un
der the direction of Kanger li. For
sythe of the Santa F.arbara national
forest. The discovery is at a point
two miles upstream from the foot of
the grade of the San Marcos road on
the other side of the mountain.
One such relic brought In to Forest
Supervisor Thomas It. Sloan's olllce
was a matter of much speculation. It
appears to be u piece of black soap
stone In the shape of a cylinder about
lVfc Inches In diameter and four
Inches long, with a half-inch hole
the length of it. The relic Is highly
polished, and when first excavated was
said to be of a softness that permitted
scarring Its surface. Fxposure to the
air evidently had hardened It, how
ever, in a few hours.
I'orsythe said two other relics sim
ilar to this one have been uncovered,
and one of the bones of the forearm of
a man also has beeu found. Santa
Harbara Tress.
Some Exceptions.
Among the witnesses called In .a
trial In a southern court was an old
darky.
"Do you swear that what you tell
shall be the truth, the whole truth and
nothing hut the truth?" Intoned the
clerk.
"Well, sah," returned the witness,
shifting uneasily, "dls lawyer gem
inuii kin make it a pow'ful lot easier
on hlssolf an' relieve me of a mighty
big strain ef he'll leave out anything
ubout gin an' chickens. 'Ceptlng fo'

Tribute to Poetry.
Poetry h simply the most delightful

human words can reach. Its rh.xthm
and meaMirv, elevated to a regularity,
certainty, an I force very different from
that of the rh.vthm and measure which
can pervade prose, are ,t part of its
perfection. '1 no more of genius that
a nation has for high poetry, the more
will the rhythm and measure which
Its poetical utterance adopts bo dis

The Noblest Classic.
The translation of the JSible Is the
remarkable and Interesting event In
the history of translations; It Is an Il
lustrious monument of the age, the
nation, the language; It is,- properly
peaking, less a translation than an
original, having most of the merit of
the former as to style, and all tho
merit of the latter as to thought; It
I the noblest, best, most finished clas

Uses for Turpentine.
Turpentine has many uses which the
housekeeper will appreciate. A little
of It In the suds on wash day liirhtens
the laundry labor, and a tcnspootd'ul
to a quart of water, If applied to
plants once a week, will mahe the
leaves greener and cause the blossoms
to become brighter. It Is a sure pre
ventive against moths by Just dropping
a trifle in the bottom of chests, draw
ers aiid cupboard.
Queer Origin of Wordc.
Strange Is the word saunferer,
sprung from La Sainte Terre (the
Holy land), whither pilgrims were
wont leisurely to Journey. Stranger
the word haberdasher, which N said
to have been derived from the Cerman
