was awaiting it. 1t was received at
New York from Yokohama, japan.
At Yokohama it was received from
Alexandria. Egypt. and at Alexan-

a Natural Mistake.

Not long ago Milford man came
to this city bent upon having a good
time. He bad it, according to his
understanding of the term, and when
the shades of night had fallen he
started for home in a condition
which did not promise very rapid
trip. He manifested desire to be-
come acquainted with all parts of the
road, and over portions of it here
and there he fingered lovingly, but
for what reasons others could not
see. Some of the night had passed
when he reached the vicinity of
the rolling mill at Fair Haven.
In an enjoyable stupor he stumbled
in and took lodgings on the ground.
Soon the workmen discovered him
and they dragged him in, where the
molten iron glared at the walls and
root. the bright sparks were flying
all around, the laborers seemed in
the alienation of horrid shs dows
and lurid flame, like inhabitants of o
little pandemonium. The scene
might naturally remind one of the
stories in the abode of the damned
They shook the man from Milford
until his oyelids rose and revealed
to him the interior of the mill with
all its impressiveness, who are You
and where do You come from?' said
the workmen. The frightened rev.
eler stared about him as he replied,

Boiled Potatoes Glorff1ed.

A New York paper suggests that
the young ladies of Vassar College,
having successfully wrestled with the
Greek roots, now turn their attention
to the art Of boiling potatoes. Says
the Cincinnati Commercial To boil
potato properly is thought to be
very simple affair, and yet there is
not one table in fifty where they ap.
pear in that perfection which makes
potato "boiled with its jacket on" one
of the most delicious esculents. Peo-
pie who do not know what a boiled
potato is, in that high state when it
appears smoking from the pot, and
bursting, like cotton pod, into mealy
whiteness, neither too wet nor too
dry, but always piping hot as it is
stripped of its skin and prepared for
its garnish of salt and butter, with
pepper according to taste-people
who do not know the boiled potato
in that state of perfection content
themselves with the esculent sliced
and fried in grease Can abomination
to the cultured palate and terror to
delicate stomachs), and think they
know what potatoes are. Next to a
potato baked, a potato boiled properly
touches that gastronomic economy in
its tenderest region, and does not pail
upon the taste, though it be served at
table 365 times a year. Whoever
does not relish the potato boiled in
the manner we have described, but
must have it sliced, fried, stewed or
mashed, with the addition OF parsley
or other savory things. should suspect
the condition of his palate or stomach,
ana consult physician for some
remedy for morbid appetite. The
Lord made the potato with jacket
on, that was not intended to be taken
off until the process of cooking is
completed, and all that is delicate and
sweet in its flesh is preserved to tickle
the palate of the eater thereof.

A Practical Joke.

In last Sundays San Francisco
Chronicle, in the column Of "Person.
ais" appeared this advertisement:
AN ELDERLY LADY, (American) about to
leave on an extended visit TO Europe, would
like to meet with young lady of refinement
as a travelling companion; suitable compensa-
ton to the proper person. Address.
MRS c. S. WILBERT, Nspa City.
In answer to this advertisement. it
is said, many letters have been re-
ceived at the Napa Postoffice, and
different parties, who could ill-afford
the expense. have come up from the
city to see "Mrs. C. S. Wilbert," but
failed to find the lady for the good and
sufficient reason that she is, without
doubt, myth. A lady from San
Francisco, desiring to fill the position
of s'traveling companion" failed to
find her after hunting all over town
and making many inquiries. Whoev-
er took part in this practical joke
carried it little too far. We see
nothing particularly "smart" or "fun.
nv" in it.-Napa Register.

An old.fashioned Englishman, when
his son went home for the Christmas
holidays, read with no little interest
copy of a magazine conducted by
the students. The language of foot
ball had undergone SO many changes
since he himself had played at pub
lie school that he could understand
very little of it, That, however, did
no; lessen his admiration. He found
one young hero described as ga strong
indeiatigable forward" and another
as ga first, rate half.back," and noticed
with regret that one who "was very
promising as good collarer" broke
his arm early in the season, and that
another who was ga thoroughly hon.
est forward" was laid up by an acct
dent. "And what was the accident 2"
he asked ooh not much !" replied
his son. "He cot kick on his head
which stunned him, and he was car
ried off to the sick.house, where he
lay senseless for about q week. 1t
would not have much mattered if it
had happened two days later for
then he could have played in the chief
match of the season." The fath.- be-
gan to look serious, and to think of Q
little fellow who was to follow his
brother to school, and who was no
more fit for either "haeking" or being
"hacked'' than his sisters. "Well," he
said, "this kind of game, where two
out Of fifteen are badly hurt, will never
suit Johnny. | must forbid him to
play" Forbid him to play !" ex.
claimed the son. "You forget the
rules" IL seems that however dan
gerous and however brutal the game
OF foot ball, as at present played, may
seem TO a father, yet his opinion and
bis wishes on this point would be
treated with the utmost contempt by
most of the head masters of English
public schools. 1t is thought q suffi.
Gent answer 10 tell him that If be
does not like the rules be need not
send bis son to the school. "The
predecessors of these gentlemen, re.
marks this father, in the course OF
his letter in The Pail Mall Gazette,
sused to hold that boys brains
could only be reached by constant
application TO his back. The birch
certainly no longer hourishes, and
learning is allowed to enter chiefly
through the eyes and ears. But tc
make up for this, the Christian vir'
tues, it is held, are best inculcated
through the shins. Let boy &c
through course of kicking and be-
ing kicked, and he is sure to turn
out Muscular Christian" This BIZ
OF gentle cynicism will be relished
by some old.fsshioned fathers, whose
sous are in football field at Harvard
Yale and Princeton. Football nay
be fine field sport, but it is not vel
to lay too much stress upon its ad
vsntsges as basis of physical train
ing. nor upon the moral tendencies
