A lady and gentleman In Quincy,

favorable opportunity to come around,

How TO HAVE MEALY PaTAToES.-
1t is difficult to get good potatoes,
and harder still to get them cooked
SO that they may come upon the ia
BILE mealy and fit to eat. At this
season of the year particularly, and
until the new crop comes, almost all
potato es when boiled are apt to be
water-soaked and soggy, and we are
sure the lovers of this esculent will
thank US for giving them recipe for
having mealy potatoes every day in
the year-not a fancy one made 10
order from a cook book, but one
that has stood and will stand the
test of constant practice. 1t is very
simple and involves only slight in
crease of trouble and labor over the
ordinary methsd of cooking: Pare
the raw potatoes and let them stand
an hour or SO in basin of water to
which pinch Of salt has been added.
Boil quickly, when done drain off the
water carefully and replace the po-
tatoes upon the stove, in the same
vessel in which they were cooked, to
dry for five or ten minutes. When
ready to serve, take each potatoe and
squeeze it gently-but not enough to
destroy the form--in dry napkin,
and place Immediately on the table.
The squeeze in the napkin takes out
all the water and leaves the potatoes
that were before wet and heavy, dry,
mealy and delicious.-Detroit Adver-
