THE POPE,S HEALTH.
A Recent Attack Which Caused Serious
Alarm in the Vatican.

A Recent Attack Which Caused Serious
Alarm in the Vatican.
London News.
The Naples Stampa of the 9th inst gives the
following account of the present state of the
Pope's health 1T is perfectly true that the
other night the Pope had an intestinal disturb
ance which alarmed the Vatican. But it was not
an unforeseen case.
'"The Pope had suffered for more than two
years from intestinal Inflammation, and the
most eminent physicians were consulted il vain.
Iswas only possible to obtain momentary allevi:
alton. Principally from innate economy, and,
secondly, by medical prescription, the Pope eats
very sparely. His special cook goes out to make
purchases with very modest basket He geh-
orally cooks for dinner half fowl of which the
Pope eats the breast; couple of glasses of Peru
gian wine, certainly no Bordeaux; sometimes
light soup, rarely roast meat, little boiled veg
etable, and sometimes a fish--that is the dinner;
no sweets, no pastry and no expensive game
With such regime it will be understood that the
Pope's disorder is not the result of luxurious
meals such those of the Pope Ganeanell.
"The other evening the Pope had gone to bed
earlier than usual, after having drunk some
warm beverage. He was rather fatigued and in
pain. Tie doctor had visited him during the af-
ternoon. AT about 1890 o'clock at night the car
dinals in the ante-chamber and the valet who
was watching were aroused by loud ringing of
the bell. They ran, and found the Pope suffer
ing from excruciating pains The doctor was
Immediately sent for, and in moment the
whole Vatican was aroused The severe pains
lasted till A. N at which time the Pope fell
asleep for short time; but at 6 o'clock he de-
termined to get up at all costs. For the next
two days he received no one but his familiar
friends and servants, who were deeply impressed
by the extreme pallor of his countenance."

Co., OF Chicago, are among the heaviest
creditors. The cause of the suspension was too
large stock for the time. general depression of
trade, and slow collections. In addition to hand
ling dry goods and groceries extensively, the
firm owned large elevator and operated ex-
tensiyely in grain and supplies for the pinery
trade. The suspension did not cause much sur
prise. as many anticipated it. Elijah Smith, a
prominent business man, is the assignee.

Preparing Potatoes.

A good potato, when cut, will show .
light cream color, and white froth will
be tho result of rubbing the cut surfaces
together. Reject that variety where
drops of water appear. Another test is
to put potatoes into solution of salt;
the good will sink, the poor float. The
juice of tho potato is disagrceable. if not
absolutely poisonous. and should always
he renewed. This poisonous element
escapes in the steam when the potato is
baked and remains in tho water where
they are boiled; hence that should not
be used for yeast, rs is sometimes recon-
mcnded, or for any food.
For soups, etc., potatoes should be
sliced, covered with cold water and ale
lowed to stand some time before using.
The water draws out the juice and keeps
the slices from turning dark, us they
would if exposed to the air; it also OK.

desirable to render fried potatoes crisp.
Select those of uniform size to cook
together, unless it is desired to have
done before the others. Much of the
saline virtue of the potato is lost by re-
moving the skins before boiling; still,
when old, an equal advantage is gained
if,after pairing, the vegetables are left in
water. Cook in boiling salted water.
not allowing the boiling to stop when
once begun until the potatoes arc done;
then pour off the water, uncover the
kettle, allowing the steam to escape,
thereby rendering the potatoes mealy.
The secret in MASKING potatoes is to
have all the utensils used us hot rs pcs
sblc, and beat the mass till light instead
of pressing down smooth and solid, add
ing cream, butter and salt at will. A
desirable result is reached by rubbing
the mashed potato through hot colan-
der and leaving it just as it falls into
the dish.
Baked potatoes should be served the
minute thcy are done; better serve with
bone in them than wait till they be-
come soggy. The average oven does
not heat as quickly as water on top OF
the stove will boil, so when baked pota-
toes are wanted in Il hurry they may be
partially boiled then put in the oven to
finish.
During the cold weather it is quite rs
well to wash week S supply of potatoes
at once as only enough for one meal; q
short broom will shorten this process.
After washing, dry well, and keep in

able agent for clarifying fat of any kind
and absorbing unpleasant odors. Put
thin slices in The fat and fry till crisp
and brown, then strain the fat and it
will be ready for use. A few slices in
each kcttlciul will keep the odor of
doughnuis, etc, from penetrating the
house and prevent the fat from burning.

strained, potatoes make an excellent
starch for dark fabrics. The juice is
recommended for chilblains. Instances
