A California inventor has made q
machine for pressing and drying pota-
toes so that they will keep for years,
yet preserve their natural flavor. No
chemicals are used in the operation of
curing, everything being done by u
simple machine capable Of pressing
600 bushels Of potatoes in twenty-four
hours. The machine not only presses
the potatoes, but lays them on tray in
n concaye form with the hollow side
down. After the pressure they are put
into the drying apparatus, where they
remain for two hours, then they are
ground into coarse meal resembling
cracked rice. The first shipment Of
these pieser,td potatoes 10 Liverpool,
last year, brought a large profit. The

Fiyinp Her Hair,

When a girl concludes TO put up her
hair and make herself look sweet the
best policy is to let her have her own
way. She can't be drawn away from
her mirror by any Of the ordinary
things Of this life, A fire will some
times do it, but it has been shown that
even fire may fail to excite some girls.
Some time ago a New York lodging
house took fire, and at a most uncom-
Portable hour, when most girls have
their back hair down. One Of the young
ladies heard that the place was burning
down, but she didn't feel like making
her appearance before the crowd that
had gathered in the street looking like
a perfect fright. She shut the door
leading into the hall to keep out the
flames and wcntto her mirrorto fix her
hair. Anybody who has waited for u
girl to fix her hair knows that il takes
time and great deal of it, This girl
wasn't any quicker than the average,
and she was very particular about
having her hair done up exactly as it
should be, The fire had cut off her
chances of escape by the stairs, and her
lover, after appealing to her for some
time, finally lost his patience and got
away without her A fireman got up
TO the room on q ladder and she made
him sit on the edge Of the window
and wait until she had arranged her
hairpins and ribbons for right sort OF
public appearance, then she threw her.
self in his arms--it was so romantic
and slid down the ladder with him,
looking just sweet. The whole thing was
n tremendous success, but when the
careful young girl was safely landed on
the pavement she found out that she
had forgotten her stockings.

He Immediately procured hook and

his head above the wate- while he
fastened the ladder TO the wharf. He
finally succeeded in getting the man
out, and started him up French street.
The man was supposed to have been

him walking down French street, and
stopped him, and started him up

on his way to the depot to catch a

going to the depot stopped at the U.

in the Chester Times, who on what be
calls the best authority, says
DR.. Piper had lived with a lady in
N. j., and kept his own rooms, where
he also prepared his own medicines.
On the evening before his decease he
bandgaged the lady's spraineo ankle,
and appeared TO Oe in good health and
spirits. The next morning be was
found dead in his bed, his hand under
bis cheek, and appeared to have died
without any pain. The cause was apo
plexy. H.+ M
On his table was letter to his
nephew, unfinished and another from a

practice and was enjoying better health

Very great Indignation was felt and
