GAME IN DETAIL. 



The game opened with Glue at the 

 stick and Small Pox catching. Cigar 

 was in the box, Strawberry Short Cake 

 played short and Corn was in the field. 

 Egg was umpire, and he was rotten. 

 Cigar let Board walk. Song made a hit 

 and Sawdust filled the bases. Then Soap 

 cleaned up. Cigar went out and Ealloon 

 started to pitch, but went up in the air. 

 Cherry tried it, but was wild. Ice went 

 in, and kept cool until he was hit by the 

 ball. Then you ought to have heard Ice 

 Cream. Lightning finished the game and 

 struck out six men. Lunatic was put 

 out because he was off his base. Bread 

 loafed on third and light was put out 

 on first. Crooks stole second. (Cabbage 

 was manager, because he had a good 

 head.) Knife was called out for cutting 

 first base. Grass covered lots of ground 

 and the crowd cheered when Spider 

 caught a fly. Steak was put out on the 

 home plate. Clock wound uj) the game 

 by striking out. \f Door ])itched he 

 would have shut them out. 



TATO. 



V>Y Max l'>Ki:iTi;.\kT, '14. 



It is not more than 100 years ago that 

 ])otatoes were almost an unknown food 

 and a despised tubercle ; it was a food 

 for the hogs. 



I'armentier, a pharmacist, found t)Ut 

 first by accident and then by experiment 

 that the potato, when properly cooked, 

 was one of the most excellent of all 

 vegetables. 



Few would believe him until he ten- 

 dered a dinner to Franklin and the fa- 

 mous chemist Lavoisier. By showing 

 them the results of his chemical analysis, 

 they consented to try the new food at his 

 table. 



Parmentier .succeeded in getting King 

 Louis XVI to give him a large patch of 

 ground in Paris to raise potatoes. They 

 became a rage in 1786. 



Napoleon saw the enormous value of 

 Parmentier's discovery, encouraged him 

 in every way, and finally made him a 

 baronet. In the meantime the rest of the 

 world was learning to eat potatoes. 

 Their culture spread everywhere. Such 

 is the romance of a pharmacist and the 

 potato. The Anniversary of Parmen- 

 tier's death has recently been celebrated 

 in France.
