welcome guest to stay day or TWO, and
there are cordial greetings. Then the boat
glides of, and we see the little group climbing
the hill to their tents, the boy tagging behind
still furtively searching the basket.
Our islanders get greatly interested in all
the craft in the harbor. Even the little chill
dren know all the steamers and yachts by
name, and report them knowingly as they
ONE and go; and when steamer breaks
down, and another takes her in tow, there is
a sensation, everyone running to watch and
pronounce upon the disaster. A squat is
great event, too. First the tents have to be pre-
pared for the wind and rain, the stakes driven
firmly and the guy lines looked to. Then
the saiboats attract all attention. Those bus
lily reefng are commended, and that one
heedlessly sailing on berated. If the latter
upsets there is great excitement. and the
boats which 60 to her assistance are eagerly
followed by earnest eyes, until the sufferers
are rescued. An island steamer is generally
close at hand to pick up the unfortunates and
tow the boat to town. These steamers seem
ubiquitous. There are so many running this
summer that there is always one in sight, and
sometimes string of them; and somehow
they always go loaded. 1t seems as if the
people of Portland did nothing but go sailing
down the harbor. The excursion parties
brought in over the railroads add largely to
this traffic, and very delightful our country
friends seem to find it.
Evening finds our campers out on the hill
c;d ho ho Oh, r.
ows stealing over the waters. The golden
rays of the sinking sun light up the farther
shores with wonderful tints, and then the
gray shadows shut them in, and after while
the stars come out. Jupiter is now showing
gloriously in the Southeast, and its copjunc-
ton with the moon, almost at her full, was
rarely beautiful sight. The expected meteor
ic shower on the tenth failed to appear, but
the glorious moon shining on the quiet har.
Dor, was well worth sitting up to watch, and
the martial music from the moonlight excur-
sion party came over the water with a mel
lowed charm.
How the Indians must have loved this
beautiful bay in the old time when 1t was all
their own. That they frequented it in great
numbers we know, not only from tradition,
but from the immense bed of shells which we
find at Little Chebeague, close by the land
ing, which DR. Hill pointed out at the last
Fraternity Club picnic. 1t is probable that
in their time they pitched their wigwams on
every spot where we now pitch our tents, and
lived much the same careless, happy summer
life that our people do here now. Perhaps
they did not fare SO well, for want of city
markets and canned provisions. The Etc.
MAN bard seemed to think so when he
wrote:-
"The States of North America
Were once savage land:
They often gathered round the shore
And capered on the strand.
"Their food was scant and very poor,

They fed on groundnuts round the door,

Cooking Potatoes.

To most of US the food we eat is val
liable because we like it, and not so
much because we consider ourselves
machine on which profit and loss is to
be nicely calculated in regard to what
we eat. But, as perhaps some of our
readers are chemically or financially
disposed, and have desire to know to
penny what their bodies cost, and to
a grain the material of which it is made,
we give the following about cooking
potatoes from an English agricultural
magazine AS food the potato is valu-
able on account of the potash and
phosphoric acid it contains, and it is
of the first importance that the potash
salts should not be lost in the process of
cooking, for it is to these salts potatoes
owe their anti-scrobatic properties.
Potatoes steamed with their skins on
lose very little potash and scarcely any
phosphoric acid; while, if steamed after
peeling, they lose and Z per cent. re-
spectively. Similarly, potatoes, when
boiled with their skins on, lose a little
more than per cent. of their potash,
and about l per cent. of their phosphor-
ic acid; but, if they are boiled after
peeling, they lose as much as 93 per
cent. of potash and % per cent of phos-
phoric acid. Henceif potatoes must be
peeled, they should be steamed, not
poiled and, if they must be boiled,
they should at least retain their jackets
during the operation-theb best way of all.
from scientific point of view, being to
steam them before peeling, or to bake
them in their skins.

Gathering Late Apples.

The economy of gathering is
contained in this rule: Do not free re,
bruise or mix your apples. AS frost
causes early decay, the weather should
be sharply watched. To be sure, the
leaves protect apples from the cold, but
this protection is not perfect, and the
apples will not thus be equally good.
The fruit should all be picked by hand,
the scattering ones which cannot be
reached should be separated from the
rest when knocked off, since the bruises
induce decay. Two or three days should
be allowed for the apples to dry and
cool. In barreling the assorted apples,
fill each little more than full, so that
when the heads are pressedsdown they
will not shake. 1t is better to keep the
different varieties separate, and if an
orchard is to be set out, to choose but
few varieties, since thus you will have
enough of each to make fair market

zion i1et -, ulIi IL pay" the
Government to make the necessary
appropriation? We think 1t will,
for various reasons. Los Angeles
county will undoubtedly be the
great center Of population in
Southern California; it Is already
in rail connection with a large
scope Of up-country, as far as San
Francisco, and thence across the
continent; the Southern line is
built as far as Yuma, from which
point the road will form the first
Southern connection; the other
roads, between the Central Pacific
on the north and the Southern Pa
cific on the south, all point in this
direction, and in order to reach the
western seaboard 10y the most d.
rect and practicable route, will be
com PEELED to Guild through some of
the mountain passes, ali of which
open int Los Angeles valley.
Then it is pertinent to say that the
best port on our borders should be
properly improved as the great ter
minal point, with ample harbor ac-
commodati0ns. Santa Monica is
undoubtedly the place. There is no
other point between San Diego and
San Francisco where it is SO prac-
ticable to make a harbor for the
largest vessels and an extensive
commerce.
Some may urge that San Diego
already has a harbor. That. is true.
But it is out of the way. 1t is on
the extreme border of our terrific
ry; has comparatively little country
suitable for settlement; has no rail
connection; is only accessible by a
good route through this county;
and it would cost less to construct y
harbor at Santa Monica than to
reach San Diego by rail. 1t may
also be urged that the Government
has already expended half mill
lion of dollars at Wilmington. This
is all very well. But that can only
be made a harbor for small vessels.
Santa Monica bay already has the
sea-room and the necessary depth.
1t is also we'll protected except on
the southwest. A breakwater will
make this the best harbor on the
Pacific Coast.
If these statements be true, it
will at ouce be seen that this su g.
gested improvement is not me re
local enterprise; it is of national
Importance. A good harbor, here,
with ample capacity, would be a
benefit to the whole belt of territory
south of st. Louis, extending from
ocean 20 ocean.

AT the expiration of the morning
hour, consideration was resumed

HoUsE.-The Speaker laid be-
fore the House communication
from the Secretary of the Treasury,
stating that the Internal Revenue

House to take immediate action on
the subject.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 14th.-The
House Committee on Military Az

lowing resolution: "Resolved, That,
in view of the condition of affairs
on the Mexican frontier and the
danger arising from an outbreak of
Indian hostilitles, any measures
looking toward q reduction of the
effective force of the army is not
justified by the condition of the
country and is unsafe and unwise."

WASHINGTON, Feb. 14th.-The
debate on the Military Academy
bill to-day was very exciting. In
the course of the discussion there
were brought up assertions from
Foster and Ellis, charges
which have so long been floating
through the country concerning
the Wormley House conference and
the alleged Presidential bargaining
in regard to the Southern policy
and the peaceful completion of the
electoral count. Garfield's I'M
qualified denial of the truth of
these charges was formulated in
language of such vigor and en-
forced by oratory of such magnifi-
cent power as to produce a pro-
found sensation. In the midst of
the turbulence, the more quiet, but
nevertheless absolutely emphatic
of Ellis and Foster, left
no doubt that they also, were ut.
