Frying Potatoes.


PROFESSOR Blot gives the following di-
rections for frying potatoes Cut them in
whatever shape you wish, above bowl
of cold water, so that they will drop into
it. Then drain and wipe them dry. This
must be done quickly, so as not to allow
the potstOes to- turn reddish. Have q
coarse towel ready, then turn the potatoes
into q colander, and Immediately turn
them INTO the towels, shake them little,
and quickly drop them into hot tat. When
done turn them into colander, sprinkle
salt on them, and serve hot, If you wish
them light or swelled, leave the potatoes
in the colander only about half minute,
then put them back in the very hot fat,
stir for about a minute, and put them
again in the colander. If the fat is very
hot, when dropped into it for the second
time they will certainly swell. Bear in
mind that fried potatoes must be eaten as
hot as possible. Fry only one size at q
time, as it takes three times as long to fry
them when cut in pieces as when sliced.

The Lady Of the Key.
How Russian Husband Disposed of
an Intruder.

One of the Paris journals announces
the death, at Versailles, of Russian
lady who appeared in the drawing
rooms in Paris in 1913 and lS49, and
was nicknamed the "Dame a la Clef."
She died, aged forty-five, in the most
complete solitude. 1t is said that her
husband, who was much older than
she, came to see her for a week or two
every six months, and went away
again, no one knew whittier. All was
mysterious about this Lady of the Key.
Last month the husband did not return
as usual, but a letter came announcing
his death. The widow survived him
a few days only, and it is supposed she
allowed herself to die of hunger.
Whether true or not, this was the story
that was whispered about her when
she appeared in Paris, young and 6eau-
tiful, more than twenty years ago. 1t
is said that her husband surprised her
in a little country house which he pos
sessed near Moscow, at the moment
she was hastily shutting somebody up
in wardrobe. A servant had betrayed
her. The Muscovite Othello turned
the key twice in the wardrobe, took it
out, and then told his wife to follow
him. A travelling britzka stood few
PAGES from the villa. More dead than
alive, the unhappy woman obeyed.
When the husband had placed her in
carriage, and given an order in a low
voice to the coachman, Keep this
key" he said to bis wife: 81 have for
gotten something and will return"
and then went back to the house. He
returned according to his promise, but
as the carriage ascended the hill, the
poor woman saw flames issuing from
the windows of the country house, and
taking full possession of it. She faint
ed away, and on regaining her senses
perceived that gold chain was riveted
round her neck, to which the little
kew of the wardrobe was attached. She
wished to kill herself, but the husband
threatened that if she committed sui
eide he would reveal her misconduct,
and would reveal her misconduct, and
cover her and her family with dishonor.
She was, therefore, condemned to live,
and her strange necklace excited much
curiosity in Paris. AT last her tyrant
allowed her to retire into aquiet retreat
Oh the express stipulation that she
would not attempt to destroy herself
during his lifetime. His death released
her from this condition; but she had
languished for more than twenty years,
having the witness of her guilt always
before her eyes.

Hear Him /!

While so much is being said about
Wonadn's rights, it is pity if the b0ys
can't say word about theirs. So
thinks one boy, at least, and he has
made up the following composition to
express his feelings:
Talk about the woman and the-the
all the rest of 'em; none of 'em all
are half so badly used as boys are. Ask
any boy. know lot, and L can tell
'em all by name. Ask 'em all. They'll
tell you to I've boy is to be somebody
with nary right in the world. You're
to take all the sass that's given, but not
give any! Why? cause you're boy
In the cars and omnibuses you get
cheated out of your seat, if it's wanted,
cause you're boy and not a man. A
woman gets in-car is full-and looks
all around; every body looks at the
boy. An old gentleman says
"My son." reprovingly.
Conductor says, "COme, boy"
You've paid your fare. No matter
for that, you're boy Have been ON
your feet all day, carrying bundles.
Who cares ? you're nothing but boy.
Who wants boy anywhere? Your
sister don't in the parlor. Your father
don't; he always asks you whether
you're not wanted to do something
somewhere. You make your mothers
head ache, whenever you come near
her. Young women hate bOys.-
Young men tease you, and give it to
YOU if you tease back.
You wonder if you ever were that
pretty little fellow in petticoats that
everybody stuffed with candy; andy you
wonder whether you'll ever be a man,
and be liked by the girls, and treated
politely by other fellows, and paid for
your work, and allowed to do as you
choose. And you thus make up your
mind avery day not to be a boy any
longer than you can help it.

SYMBOLS OF SHORE AND SEA
BY DINAH N. MULoCH-GRAIG.

The tide has ebbed away;
No more wild dashing 'gainst the adamant
rock, -I.
No swayings amid seaweeds false, that mock
The hues of gardens gay;
No laugh of little waveletS at their play,
No lucid pools rejecting heavens dear brow,
Both storm and calm alike are ended now.
The rocks sit gray and lone;
The shifting sand is spread so smooth and
dry
That not tide might ever have swept by,
Stirring ii with rude moan;
Only some weedy fragments idly strewn,
To rot beneath the sky, tell what has been;
But desolation's self has grown serene.
Afar the mountains rise,
And the broad estuary widens out,
All sunshine ;-wheeling round and round
about,
Seaward a white bird flies. "
a bird nay seems il rather in these eyes
A spirit Ger eternity s dim sea, '-, N
Calling, "Come thou, where all We glad souls
BEL"
Olife! Osilent shore, %
Where we sit patienti o great sea beyond,
To which we turn with solemn hope and
fear,
But sorrowful no more;
A little while, and then we, too, shall
soar,
Like white-wInged sea-birds, into III infinite
Till then, Thou Father, wilt our spirits keep?

Death SuperInduced by Fasting-A Re-
mafkableCase. ...,..

Yesterday morning about six o'clock
John French, son of George French,
Esq, of this town, passed from this life,
after an illness of more than two weeks,
brought about in most remarkable
way. The facts, as We have learned
them from intimate friends Of the de-
ceased, are about as follows: ~ --s
For two or three years past 1t has
been noticed that the young man had
peculiar views upon various subjects,
especially religion and his future state;
but it was not surmised that they were
imbedded very deeply, much less to
such an extent as to derange his mind
on the contrary, being more than usu-
ally gifted with intelligence and acute
ness, credit was given him for more
than the average of common, reasOr-
ing sense. He, however, became fond
of reading that class of works on theO-'
retical religion in the trrnscendental
style, too many of which are to be
found in the libraries of persons who
are not aware of the tendency of these
highfown, but delusive disturbersl of
the mind of the genuine seekers after
truth. To such an extent did he be-
come absorbed In some Of the mysti-
cism and sophistries of these quacks in
theology, that his brain gave way, and
reason, at least upon religious subjects,
took flight, and while laboring under
the misfortune, became impressed with
the idea that he had some religious task
to perform which could only be accom-
plished after he had tasted forty days
and forty nights, which feat he began
nearly two months ago, and actually |
finished two weeks since. Every effort
made during the time to induce him
to eat utterly failed, ;, and those who
were i'm close contact with him all the
time say that not mouthful of food
passed his lips. Strategy, after persua-
sion had exhausted itself, and resorted |
to attempting fruit and other things |
were placed in his his way, and in such |
q manner as to leave the impression |
that their presence was unknown to all |
but himself, yet he RETAINED from par
taking of them in every instance. OF |
course, during this time he became
very much reduced, looking more like |
a skeleton than living human being. |
Nature at length could stand the strain |
no longer, and a few days before the |
expiration of the forty days he was
compelled to take his bed, and although |
everything that could be done for him
was done, he at last gave way, and his |
spirit sought that sphere where the
great mystery finds solution. After
the forty days he was fed with great
caIe, but his system had sunk too deep
ly to recuperate.
There are very few in this communi-
ty who doubt that French did what he
professed to undertake, namely: with
the exception of drinking freely of wa
ter, and smoking considerably, to ac-
tually live forty days and nights with
out tasting food. II Is. pronounced by
physicians to be one of extremely few
cases of extended fasting that has come
to the knowledge of the world.-Ha-

and, although L cannot affirm that it
is infallibly correct, have reason for
believing that it is not far out of the

was not sent for political effect at all,
but was transmitted from a medical

ROMANCE OF EEUGENIE.
How She Once Became Engaged to
Virginia conference.-the Match
Broken OFF by the Lovers Mother
Wonderful Change of Destiny.

Correspondence.of the Lynchburg Republi-
can.
In 1851, the uncle of the writer resid-
ed as American Minister at Paris, with
a large family around him. AT this
time appeared in society there Eugene
Marie de Guyman, Countess of Month
jo, lovely person and an aristocratic
name, securing her brilliant conquests
in that society, and constituting her
one of the most famous ladies in Paris.
1t was thought, and indeed freely re-
marked, that her mother was more
ambitious than herself, that the former
designed for her some great alliance,
while Eugene appeared asmodel of
sincerity, girl who would choose to
consult her heart in any matrimonial
affair. Her sister had just married the
Duke of Alba and Berwick, lineal de-
scendant of James IL, Of England;
and the worthy mother, Donna Maria,
no doubt designed at least an equal
matrimonial destiny for the more beau
tiful of her daughters. But the heart is
not always to be controlled even in the
most aristocratic life, or yield to its ex-
actions or convenience. Eugene lost
hers to fine looking blonde Virginian.
young William G. Rives, son of the
American Minister. They were en-
gagged to be married. But Aunt Judy
Rives, Virginia matron, very decid-
ed and angular in her scruples, inter-
fered and broke off the match; the
Countess was too "fast" for her old
Virginia views of social sobriety. The
woman for whom the future had re-
served so much, escaped the compara-
lively humble match that her heart
had decided upon-the destiny of a
quiet Virginia housewife-to ascend the
throne of France. Alas, what other
contrasts may yet remain for her! If
an event had been ordered differently,
if prospective mother-in-law had
proved complacent, the Empress-the
woman who has adorned the throne of
France, and displayed to the world the
charms of another. Cleopatra, might at
at this moment be a quiet country ma.

A Railroad Story.

We heard a good story on a certain
railroad the other day. On this road
the train was frequently delayed by
cattle upon the track. This had hap
pened several times, but finally the To-
connective entered upon clear sailing,
and for ten or fifteen miles the train
ratified along at lively jog. All Of a
sudden, however, the engine began a
lively blowing, showing that trouble
had come again. AT this, one individ-
.ual, who had been watching the trees
fly past the windows, and had just per-
suaded himself into the belief that he
was riding into glory at a rate of a
league at breath, jumped up with sur
prise, and calculated: "Well, I'll be
cussed if we haven't caught up with
these darn cattle again!'
