There Are 8avtral Handaom. One! In England and Germany. Although America Is the original home of the potato, it is only in En rope that monuments have been erect ed to honor tlio familiar vegetable. There are several such monuments in Germany and England costing large sums of money and presenting the work of famous sculptors. The most elaborate is that at Offenbnrg, which honors Sir Francis Drake as the first man to introduce potatoes Into Europe The monument consists of an excel lent statue of Drake, rising from an elaborate base decorated with gar lands of the potato plant, with full grown tubers. Several tablets are placed about the base stating that Drake first brought the potato to Eu rope, with various laudatory lnscrip tlonB as to the value of the potato to civilization. A similar monument to Drake and the potato has been erected at Murz. . As a matter of historic fact, Drake bad nothing whatever to do with in troducing the potato to Europe.

( ; According to one version, the potatoes were first planted by Drake in Ireland.

The author carried the gold to bis bedroom, poured it into a footbath and enjoyed for half an hour the ex citement of moving his feet to and fro lu n bath of gold coins, smoking mean while the biggest of Havana. A Boston merchant of great wealth, believing certain symptoms indicated that he would become insane, consult ed a specialist and, under his advice, became nn inmate of a private asylum. For twelve years there his recreation was piling up gold coins and then knocking them over. At times he washed his hands in gold eagles ad half eagles. At the end of th. long se clusion he returned to bis counting room aud In twelve months confirmed the thoroughness of his recovery by amassing $500.000. St Louts Repsbttc. - !
