A good Baptist clergyman of Bergen, N.
T., strong temperance man, suffered with
kidney trouble, neuralgia and dizziness al
most 10 blindness, over two years after he
was advised that Hop BItters would cure
HIM, because he was afraid of aud preju-
diced against the word ''bitters." Since
his cure he says none need fear but trust in
Hop BItters.

DRAWN WORK sTITCHEs.-Tnese are for
use on linen or crash. For towels, table
covers, buffet scarfs and doylees they are
most admirable. The pupil may begin
with the old hemstitch, and as she pro-
crosses, add lace stitches, herring bone, but
tonhole, oveI casting. cham stitch, dsrning
and knot stitch. Draw the threads from
the end of piece Of linen for about an
inch In depth. Pass thread through the
middle of the strands that are left, cross
ing and catching them in punches of two
or three. This can be used as the heading
for fringe around doylees. Catch and Sc
cure with your needle a few threads close
to the body of the stuff at top and bottom
of drawn space. This leaves the effect
of even rows of threads little separated.
Then use cham stitch to draw these rows
together in punches of four in the center.
The foregoing pattern may be elaborated
by thread introduced in a waving line
over and under the punches of threads.
Repeat this waved line in returning, and
where the lines cross in the center finish
with small figures in lace stitches. An in-
genious workman will make endless CON-
binations and varieties for herself.

Recently DIR, Pearse, of Plymouth,
England, presents the claims of onions as
remedial in cases of consumption. He
states that more than four -fifths of the suf-
ferers from that disease have decided
desire for onions. They prefer them raw,
eaten with salt, but they like them cooked
too. He, therefore, is of the opinion that
onions should form part of the diet of pa
tients afflicted with pulmonary diseases.

A1gisrs.

In going about Alglers, what strikes one
most is the endless variety in the costumes
of the Inhabitants Arabs, Ksbyies,
Mozabites Negesses, ETC., all dressing
differently, and in bright, beautiful colors-
The Arab women with the haik and white
veil covering all but their dark eyes look
like ghosts gliding In and out Of the crowd;
lut when at home they, too, dress IN q
gorgeous way. The jewels they wear are
quaint and Of very rough beauty; for
if the stones are real, they do not mind of
their being full Of hsvs, and irregular in
shape and color: their pearls are rough.
and the Arab women grease them that
their color may be yellow; the diamonds
are set In lead, which gives them a dull,
heavy look.
We went once tn an Arab wedding, and
as both the families were rich, the dresses
and Jewels worn by the ladies were most
splendid The bride herself-a poor little
thing of fourteen-looked anything but
happy, seated on a cushion on the floor,
while her mother and professional dres-
ser painted, powdered and gllded her face.
plated her hair, and then dressed her up
in costly clothes, with all the family jewels
hesped upon her. All the time her toilet
was going on, three fnghtful neHesses
played and sang wild Arab music close to
the brides ear, and others, down stairs,
uttered the curious cry of joy which is
sort of trill on one high note. Little gar
lands of white jessamine blossoms were
given TO every one, and when all was ready
she was led to her husband, who was wait
ing for her in another room. He was very
ugly man, more than twice her age, and
when the poor little BRIDE saw him she
burst into tears in q most pitiful way. We
wished very much that an artist could have
been with us, for there were so many beau
tlful Arab ladies sitting round on divsns
and cushions; but as NO man except near
relation may see woman unveiled, our
wish was q vain one. On our way down
stairs after the wedding, we saw the ser
wants of the household seated in ring on
the floor, eating from one large dish of con-
sc0uss0u. which Is the principal food OF
the Arabs; il Is made of the emoule of
Algerian hard wheat, and if only mixed
with good butter it is very nice to eat. But
what the Arabs generally give us is made
with bad butter, and it is almost impossible
to swallow it, however much we wish to
please the kind giver, who stands close by,
urging us to eat more, and almost forcing
it into ones mouth in his hospitality. MAJ
tiers were not mended by friend Of mine
who dexterously conveyed the rancid
morsels into a handkerchief on her lap;
for as in nasty search for coppers the
contents of the handkerchief were seat
tered over the upturned faces Of an ex-
pectant crowd, it must somewhat have
diminished the satisfaction which her ap-
parent good appetite had afforded her host.

blame two women for kissing each other,

How to tell a Good Potato.

Here is good place in which to lmpart
what is q secre: to the vast majority of
people, and it is one well worth knowing.
1t is simply how to tell good potato; that
Is, as well as can be done without cooking
it, for sometimes even experts are deceived.
Take sound potato, and paying no atten-
tion to Its outward appearance, divide it
into two pieces with your knife and ex-
anime the exposed surfaces. If there is
so much water or "luce" that seemingly
a slight pressure would cause 1t to fall off
In drops, you may be sure it will be
''soggy" after 1t Is boiled These are the
requisite qualities for good potato, which
must appear when one is cut in two: For
color, yellowish white; If 1t is a deep;
yellow, the potato will not cook well +
there must be a considerable amount
moisture, though not too much; rub the
two pieces together and white froth will
appear around the edges and upon the two
surfaces; this signifies the presence of
starch, and the more starch, and conse-
quently froth, the better the potato, while
the less there is the poorer it will cook.
The strength of the starchy element can
be tested by releasing the hold upon one
piece Of the potato, and if it still clings 10
the other, this in itself is very good sign.
These are the experiments generally made
by experts, and they are ordinarily wiling
to buy on the strength Of these turning out
well, though, Us stated above, these tests
are by no means infsllible. The anti
Chinese element of society will not like the
information that very large percentage of
the potatoes consumed in this market are
raised by Cinnamon, but such is the case.
The "River Reds" our cheapest potato,
which is grown along the banks of the Sac
ramento river, are raised almost exclusively
by the heather, who ship them tr the com
mission merchants, from whose stores they
go TO hotels, boarding houses and private
families all over the city, and few good
seasons makes the Chinaman rich-from a
Mongolian snd-point.
