The Glory Of Boiled Potatoes.

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. To boil potato
properly is thought very simple affair
and yet there is not one table in fifty
where they appear in that perfection
which makes a potato boiled with its
jacket ON one of the most delicious OF
esculents. People who do not know
what a boiled potato is, in that state
when it appears smoking from the pot,
and bursting like a cotton pod into
mealy whiteness-neither too wet MOI
too dry, but always piping hot as it is
stripped of its skin and prepared for II
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. an
abomination to the cultured palate aud
a terror to delicate stomachs. and think
they know what potatoes are.
Next to a potato baked, potato boiled
properly, touches the gastronomic econ
Omy in its tenderest region, and does not
pail upon the taste, though it be served
at table three hundred and sixty-five
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 stomach and
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 proc
ess Of cooking is completed. and all
that is delicate and sweet in its flesh is
preserved to tickle the palate of the
eater thereof.

AIMS HOUSE SITE.
WHERE the NEW POOR BUILD.
INGS SHOULD BE LOCATED.
The Brnck KIN Farm aud its Al.
yantages-EHerts Of the New
Castle Commons Trustees.

A question of considerable Importance
to New Caste County in general and
Wilmington in particular, Is the loca-
tion of the proposed new AlmShouse.
Wilmington of course does not ut all
admire the present site, greatly injur-
ing, as it docs, u large lot of exceedingly
valuable property. But while they
want the aim, house removed 1t Is not
desired that it should be located as far
from the city as possible. On the other
hand, it appears t. be only proper that
the location should be near the city
NOT more than two or three E'iles dis
tant-and that it should be easy of ac-
cess A disposition, however, is mani
tested to select a site much further from
the city limits than this, which will
render the almshouse hard Of access
and more distant and inconvenent for
Wilmington people than the old court
house was ut New Castle.
To show how important it is to Will
mingtoM that the new aims house should
not be located at such remote point as
contemplatcd-na the Nw Castle
Commons the following figures may
be aptly quoted from superintendent

Nv the above it will be seen that out
Of The 567 paupers admitted 25l came
from the city Of Wilmington, leaving
the 10 from the other parts of the
County.
The Trustees appear to be much Jiri-
ded on the question. Theyhave three sites
in their minds eye-thc Brackin farm
Near Branlywine Springs, the l'landy
farm near Harr's Corner and the New
Castle Commons. SO far as re.atlv" ad.
vantageS 20 they are altogether III favor
Of the Brackin turm. Said Il well
known citizen, who is taking consider
able interest, and who knows what he
j. talking about. One thing abso'tlf"-
IS needed is that there be Il good stream
OF clear cold water on the PLACE. auoilier
that it he easy of access, having rail-
road facilities, and sill another, that II
be situated conveniently NEAR Whining

other natural advantages, such as the
lay of the ground making natura drain-
age easy Nc., are pO>se>>ed by the
brackln farm. a splendid stream ot

These advantages the Blaniy tarm does
not POSSESS. Neither do the New tn>-
tie Commons. For instance il they put
up an aImthouse on the Commons they
wollld have no water but that coming

10 lay pipes and pay heavy rent for
the water. The Commons site wnnld
