The reporter would call attention
to the remarkable weather of the
past month, particularly since the
10th ult., the sun being scarcely Wis
ible for a period of two weeks,
which, coupled with intense cold and
stormy winds, has made one fancy
he was dwelling in some other cOun-
try than Nebraska. Observation
extending over a great scope of
country and for period of several
years has demonstrated the fact that
every month has its belt or zone Of
winds, followed by storms or fair
weather; therefore, in order to en-
courage my readers to observe for
themselves, | shall hereafter, under
the head of probabilities for next
month, give the courses of the winds
likely to be followed by stormy or
fair weather. For the month of
January these are for stormy wealth
er from n f. to S. E., and for fair
weather from w. to 5. W.

How to Tell a Good Potato.

Here is a good place in which to im-
part what is secret to the vast ma
jority of people, and it is one well
worth knowing. 1t is simply how 10
can be done without cooking 1t, Ior
sometimes even experts are deceived.
Take sound potato, and, paying no at
tention to its outward appearance, di-
vide it into two pieces with your knife
and examine the exposed surfaces. Ii
there is so much water or "juice" that
seemingly a slight pressure would
cause it to fall off in drops, you may be
sure it will be "soggy'' after it is boil
ed. These are the requisite qualities
for good potato which must appear
when one is cut in two: For color, q
yellowish white; if it is deep yellow
the potato will not cook well; there
must be considerable amount of moist
ure. though not too much; rub the two
pieces together and white froth will
appear around the edges and uron the
two surfaces; this signifies the presence
of starch, and the more starcn, and
consequently froth, the better the po-
tato, while the less there is the poorer
it will cook. The strength OF the
starchy element can be tested by re-
leasing the hold upon one piece of the
potato, and if it still clings tothe other,
| this in itself is very good sign. These
are the experiments generally made by
experts, and they are ordinarily willing
to buy on the strength of their turning
ont well, though, as stated above, these
tests are by no means infallible. The
anti Chinese element of society will not
like the information that a very large
percentage of the potatoes consumed in
this market are raised by Cinnamon
but such is the case.--San francisco

The National Land League Conven-

act left the rent question as q continual
source OF discomfort and strife between diff
ferent classes in Ireland. lie had no doubt
this wp desgnedly so arranged by the
British government. He warned farmers
not TO trust to the Land act. 1t was, he
said, designed TO break the League. No
body should appeal to Land Courts until
test cases to bc prepare by the League had
been submitted. They should press for
ward to the abolition OF landlordism and
to- legislative independence. He ad-
VisCd farmers to borrow money under
the Land act so as to give work to
laborers, and invited she latter to Join
branches OF the League. lie pledged himself
to head q labOrers' movement If the farmers
did not. Parnell in his speech reasserted
that fair rent would be the value of the land
in state Of nature, before it was improved
by atenant or any OF his predecessors. In
regard to the industrial question, he said
Irishmen should encourage home manufac.
lures, even il they had to pay dearer thar
for foreign goods Things notproducible ii
Ireland should be bought in America. En-
glish goods should not be bought in any

Never ut rest; even now, as write,
Going out shopping, or making a CALL
Talking to chairs, rocking dolly so small.

When the wind blows, is as tireless as she
Ask for a kiss, she will quietly say,
" Haven't got timo: I'm too busy to-day"
Are the birds weary when down goes the

Or the wee lambkins when homeward they

Or the bright butterflies folding their wlngs2
Grasshoppers, crickets and all merry things?
