Structure of the Potato Tuber

Cutting it lengthwise through the
center, in such a manner as to divide
several of the eyes, and examining a
thin section or slice of either half, sew
eral well defined regions are found
varying in appearance and size. In the
center, with brach running to each
eye, is tract which is more transpar-
ent than the surrounding flesh. This
corresponds to the pith of ordinary
stems, and, like it, has less capacity for
conducting water. Its lighter color is
due to the smaller proportion of solid
matter, starch especially, found in the
cells. This "pith." like that in other
stems, has less vitality than the other
portion of the tuber, and probably, less
strength in the cell walls; therefore
when very rapid growth takes place,
these cells, being unable to resist the
tension, burst, and hollow place in
the tuber is the result. Passing out
ward through the main body of the
tuber, and, lying about quarter of an
iuch under the skin, thin line can be
easily seen which follows quite regular

ccpt at the eyes, where it curves out

blum ring, the portion from which, in
woody stems, all growth in thickness
proceeds. The skin of the potato is
simply thin layer of dead, empty cork

The Household.
The Home Doctor.

There are certain simple facts in re-
gard to the care of the sick that every
young girl should know before she is
called upon to preside over home Of
her own. Physicians sly there are few
women capable of making poultice, a
cup Of beef tea, or piece oftoast prop,
erly. IF one has never had the care OF
an invalid, there may be some excuse
Cor not knowing practically how to
make poultice, but one can at least
inform herself as far as the theory goes.
A cold, clamy poultice is positively
harmful.
To make linseed poultice, pour a
quantity of warm water into a tin basin,
stand on the back of the range, and
scatter in the linseed meal stirring with
knife until of a proper consistency.
In the use of water you must be gov
erned by the size Of the poultice re-
quired. II it is too dry it will not hold
together; if too wet, it is damp and un-
comfortable. 1t should be moist with.
out being sloppy. Now take clean
piece of old muslin couple of inches
larger all around than the poultce is to
be, spread it with the mixture, cover
with another piece of muslin, and
quickly haste over an inch all around.
Do this without removing from the hot
dish, on which it should be carried to
the bedside. If it is necessary to fasten
it on, do this with folds of .bandaging,
and cover with compress of flannel to
retain the heat 4 piece of oil silk is
less clumsy and will keep moisture from
the bed clothes.
There are many different formulas
for preparing beef tea, but the simplest
and best is follows: Cover one pound
Of lean beef from the round with a pint
Of cod water. Have the butcher chop
it fine as for hamburger steak; beat it
in the water with a silver fork for ten
minutes; place over the fire, simmer for
twenty minutes, strain and set aside to
cool, In order to remove any little flakes
of fat that may form. When ready to
serve, make it hot, season with salt
only, and serve with thin, brown toast,
or little wafer kers.-American

Elizabeth has SO much time and energy
been devoted to fine needle work, for
the decoration of homes as at the pres
ent. Americans for years have shown
refinement of taste in their selections

unique designs, for their tables, and

Effectiveness ty the addition of hand
somely embroidered Art Squares for the
center Of the table and carvers covers
for the ends. Doylies also embroidered
in delicate designs, are scattered here,
and there, on the table for finger bowls,
or fruit and give an elegance of ap-
pearance which cannot fail to attract
the most unobserying person.
A plain width Of silk is often used
the full length o: the table. The linen
has decided advantage over silk, as
the embroidery is all done in wash silks
and will not fade with the sun and
