Wash the potatoes clean, slice with
a potato slicer very thin, throw into
cold water long enough to take some
of the starch, then wipe dry and put
into boiling lard, few pieces at q
time. Be sure and keep the lard
boiling. AS soon as the potatoes are
of a clear, golden brown, skim them
out, drain them in colander or
sieve, and serve hot.

HOUSEHOLD KNOWLEDGE.


II, before wetting, greasy dishes
are sprinkled with corn meal or
rubbed off with small whisk broom
kept for that purpose and dipped in
dish of corn meal, it will leave the
dish water much cleaner and nicer
for washing other dishes. The meal
with which they are rubbed is not
wasted, as it is just as good for the
pigs or chickens.

From1he New York Times.
When went ashore l found an
old fellow that lived near the pond
fishing for bullheads. "Be YOU from
the city !? he asked. 1 said YES.
"Ketchin' pick'rl ?" he asked. l told
him no. want to?" he inquired.
If I could get hold of a few good
ones, I'd be suited to death. "Wnd "
like T pay couple dollars Z git some
good ones r" 1replied that I would
readily invest that much for a little
genuine sport.
The PM eOdley man stopped to
attend to a bite ON his line. He
pulled out bullhead the size Of a
pup dog, took it off his hook, dropped
it i'll his boat on top Of about half a
dozen others, leisurly wound up his
line. and than said Come along O.
me- / followed with my pail of fish
bait and my tackle. The Pike county
man took me half mile through the
woods. There we came to a pond
about the size of the fountain basin
in City Hall Park. Now, h'yer yell

sweating and putting like a horse
after four mile race. 'Ill take the
two dollars right h'yer,' he added.
IF you don't ketch any fish, WI find
me over t Big Walker, yankin' bull
heads, n I'll refand.' He showed me
a box made with Stats, and having a
lid with leather hinges. One end
was stuck down in the mud, and the
box was half full of water. The
countryman told me to open the lid
and put the fish IN that box as fast as
caught them, and that would keep
them fresh and nice. Thanked him and
he went away with my two dollar
bill in his pocket.
y began to fish. The first throw
caught pickerel that would weigh
two pounds easy. This is pretty
good / thought. kept on fishing,
and every little while I'd haul out a
pickerel. / put the fish all in a box,
as | had been instructed to do by the
Pike Countian I caught twenty
pickerel before it began to strike me
as something singular that they were
all as near one size as could be.
After my twenty-fifth pickerel it &C.
cured to me as being little remark
able that there was so little commo.
ton in the box. When / opened it
and put my twenty.sixth pickerel in,
pulled it out on shore. There
wasn't a fish in the box. One slat
was off the end of the box that had
been in the water, and the pickerel
had passed back into the pond as
soon as caught.

county man. He had probably
caught all the bullheads be waited,

The Deacon's Experiment.

Il hope the children haven't been
any trouble to you, Miss Peck ?n said
Deacon Grinder, as his one.horse
chaise drew up on the green in front
OF Miss Philena Peck's house.
Miss Peck hurried out, all smiles
to greet the portly widower. "The
little darlings !" she cried effusively.
"Trouble indeed Why, deacon,

she. You are always in such hurry.
