THE BEST MODES OF COOKING PorAToEs.
Baking is by far the best method of cooking
potatoes. Some think that they dry out so
much that boiling is more economical. This is
n mistake. At least four noes out of every
five of the weight of potatoes are simply water,
and there is no loss Of nutriment in driving out
these four ounces of water. On the contrary,
the dry, mealy portion left after baking, is more
|congenial to the stomach, and more easily d.
gested than when the moisture is kept in by
boiling.
Frying potatoes in lard is the worst of all
methods. Unless mastcated very thoroughly
before swaowing-a thing few persons do, no
matter how good their teeth--it is next to I'M
possible for the gastric juice in the stomach to
attack and dissolve a lump of potato coated
with fried lard or other grease. If any one
doubts this, let them eat three baked potatoes
one morning, and the next morning eat the
same amount of pototoes fried. In the latter
case an uneasy, dull feeling for two or three
hours after eating will afford an abundant evil
dence as to which is the better mode.
If potatoes are cooked by boiling, they should
always be thoroughly mashed before eating
If not done in the kettle, let it be done upon
the plate. When mashed in the kettle, It is
not economical, or best, to mix in large guam,
tity of bltter.-Am. Agricultuist.

The Rev. Mr.. Lippitt, of the Epis-
copal church, a native of Rhode Island
and formerly professor nthe Episco-
pal Theolo gical Seminary of Virginia
resides near Alexandria and Il short

for it, when it appeared by a note in
the margin that it was first preached
twelve years ago! The Secretary
read it carefully over, and pronoun-
