Newspaper Borrowers.

An exchange recently published let
ter from II lady subscriber i'll which she
complained bitterly of the annoyance
she experienced from the habit her fe-
male neighbors had of constantly bor-
rowing her paper. The exchange failed
to advise her on the subject, and, as the
matter is a serious one, we have our
selves locked about for some method of
relief, and now think we can offer the
suffering lady and all others similarly
situated an adequate means of succor,
Here is our plan Let the lady imme-
diately upon receiving her paper care
fully cut from it some item-it makes no
particular difference what it is-most
any item will do, only let it be neatly
and carefully removed from the paper.
Then the following proceeding will be
sure to ensue In few moments the
neighbor's boy will come after the pa
per-he will take it home-within three
minutes he will emerge from the house
he will scoot down street and very short
ly return with folded newspaper of the
same date as the one just borrowed BY
the time the clipped paper has circled
round among all the female borrowers,
the streets will be lively with hurrying
boys, and the revenue of the newspaper
will be materially increased. Not one
woman among them all would be able to
sleep wink without knowing just ex-
actly what that cut-out item was. The
next day the lady must pursue the same
course, and similar results will surely
follow. In an eXtremely-obstinate
neighborhood these proceedings have to
be repeated three or four days, but no
longer. By that time the lady will be
able to read her paper in peace, and the
newspaper finances will be the gamer
through several new subscribers. This
rule is intallible where the borrowers are
females, but it can't be vouched for i'll
the case of men. There isn't that inhe-
rent curiosity to work upon, YOU know,
and and-but perhaps we are getting IA
little too deep.

Potatoes In Seven WAYS.

Let me give you few little hints in
regard to the different methods of cook
ing potatoes, SO that the oft abused
boiled potato may be varied during the
week at dinner:
First Sunday, mashed potatoes; peel,
steam, place III pan and mash, add
milk, butter and salt, and then beat like
cake batter, the longer the better, till
they are nice and light This steaming
and beating will be found great i'm
provement.
Monday, baked potatoes in their jack
cts. By the way, if any are left over
they may be warmed over by not peel
ing them till cold, and then slicing.
Tuesday, peel and bake them with
roast beef
Wednesday, prepare them in the Ken
lucky style, as follows: The potatoes
are sliced thin, as for frying, and allowed
to remain in cold water half an hour.
The slices are put into a pudding dish.
They are then put into an oven and
baked for an hour. When taken out, a
lump of butter the size of n hens egg Is
cut into small bits and scattered over
the top. Those who have never eaten
potatoes cooked thus do not know all the
capabilities of that esculent tuber. The
slcing allows the interior of each pota-
tato to be examined, hence its value
where potatoes are doubtful, though
poor ones are not of necessity required.
The soaking in cold water hardens the
slices, so that they will hold their shape.
The milk serves to cook them through,
and to make a nice brown on the top;
the quantity can only be learned by ex-
perience; if just a little is left us rich
gravy, moisten all the slices, then it is
right. In year of small potatoes, this
method of serving them will be very
welcome to many housekeeper.
Thursday, peel, steam and serve
whole.
Friday, "potatoes a Ia pancake, -"
peel, cut in thin slices lengthwise,
sprinkle with pepper and salt, and fry
in butter or beef drippings, turning like
griddle cakes
Saturday, potatoes boiled in their
jackets.
These are simple ways, but give varie-
ty. On Monday and Tuesday always
prepare them in some way i'll the oven,
SO as to leave the top of the stove free.

Arctic Ice.

The unlucky prisoner in the immense
field Ice during the imposing, unbroken
loneliness of the long Arctic night, when
the wind is calm, can hear the crackle
of the snow under the stealthy tread of
the polar bear mt an astonishing distance,
and hear what man, speaking loud,
says Mt | 200 metres distance. 1t can,
therefore, be well understood how the
sound of lce-pressures must travel to
his ear from enormous distances
Sometimes" the author writes, "the
noise of the ice movements was scarcely
to be heard-a mere murmur-and came
to our ears as does the play of the waves
on steep coast from the far distance.
Sometimes it hummed and roared closer
to us, MS If whole column of heavily
laden wagons were being drawn over the
uneven ice surface" In the sound was
combined all manner of noises caused
by cracking, grinding, falling of blocks,
crushing and many other phenomena of
ice life. ''It is astonishing how far and
how clearly every noise is conducted in
the ice. The noise at the very margin
OF the field on which we were seemed to
occur Immediately at our feet. If we
placed our ears to the ice, the sound was
heard SO loudly that we might have ex-
pected the ice to open under our feet the
next moment. The whole dry ice-cov-
ering was vast sounding board
Whenever. as L lay down to sleep, L
placed my ear against the dry, wooden
ships side, l heard humming and buzz
zlng which was nothing else but the
sum of all the noises which occurred in
the ice at a great distance from the
ship"
The surface of an eXpanse of young
saltwater Ice on which no snow has yet
fallen is soft, SO that the footstep is i'm
pressed upon its white covering as in
melting snow. This is to be observed
even Mt temperature of 40 deg. G.
The unfrozen fluid is not water, but
concentrated solution of salt thrown out
by the freezing of the ice beneath.
When summer begins the thawing
that occurs is very local and unequal.
Any dark body, such as heap of ashes,
or the dropping of bears, eats its way
into the snow, absorbing the rays of
heat which are reflected off again by
the general white surface. The bear
droppings eat their way into the snow,
and then into the ice, and the conical
hole thus formed fills itself with water.
1t may at last eat its way right through
the ice where not very thick. Thus are
formed the greater part of those holes
in drift-ice which are usually ascribed
to seals. The author never saw seal s
hole III winter.

Unlearnable Things.

We all have our limitations in the mat
ter of grammar, | suppose. L have never
seen book which had no grammatical
defects in it, This leads me to believe
that all people have intirmity, and are
afflicted with an Unborn inability to feel
or mind certain sorts of grammatical
particularities. There are people who
were not born to spell these can never
be taught to spell correctly. The envi-
able ones among them are those who do
not take the trouble to care whether
they spell well or not-though III truth
these latter are absurdly scarce. L have
been a correct speller, always; but it is a
low accomplishment, and not thing to
be vain Of. Why should one take pride
in spelling word rightly when he knows
he is spelling it wrongly? Though is
the right way to spell "though," but it
is not the right way to spell it, Do l
make myself understood?
Some people were not born to punct-
uate these cannot learn the art. They
can learn only rude fashion of it; they
cannot attain to its niceties, for these
must be felt; they cannot be reasoned
out Cast-iron rules will not answer
here, any way what is one mans COM
ma is another mans colon. One man
can't punctuate another man. manuscript
any more than one person can make the
gestures for another persons speech
What is known as dialect" writing
looks simple and easy, but it is not. 1t
is exceedingly difficult; it has rarely
been done we'll A man not born to
write dialect cannot learn how to write it
correctly. 1t is gift Mr.. Harte can
write delightful story he can repro
duce California scenery SO that You see
it before you, and hear the sounds and
smell the fragrances and feel the influ-
ences that go with it and belong to it
he can describe the miner and the gam
bier perfectly-as to gait and look and
garb; but no human being, living or
dead ever had experience of the dialect
which he puts into his peoples mouths.
Mr. Hartes originality is not ques-
toned but if it ever shall be, the caviler
will have to keep his hands off that
dialect, for that is original. -Ahantic
