HOW TO COOK POTATOES.
Various Ways In which Housekeepers Can
Prepare the Tubers.

Ahf
Does anybody want to know the varia-
tions played in our kitchen on the tune
OF plain. cold. boiled potatoes? Here
they are: Milk is the keynote, and the
first recipe is this: Put three-fourths
cup Of milk with the cream on-in
shallow frying-pan; heat to boiling
point, then add a pint Of cold sliced
potatoes. salt. pepper. and generous
lump of butter; simmer gently few
minutes. and serve hot. A second recipe
Is: one cup of milk 10 which. when 1t
boils. is added tablespoonful OF corn
starch paste. then put in one pint of
potatoes cut in dice, and the salt, pepper
and butter needful. Or instead of corn
starch, stir in well-beaten egg just be-
fore serving. The other variations are
made by using the above ingredients and
adding different fiayors: as at one time
sprays of fresh parsley; at another boiled
corn cut from the sob: at another a
sliced onion or two though these last
must be- cooked In water awhile before
being added to the potatoes. Still an
other way is to put bits of dried beef in
the pan. add one-half cup of cold water.
simmer awhile, then add potatoes and
seasoning needed. Yet one more is this:
minee the cold potatoes; put in baking
dish; add salt pepper, butter and one
half cup of milk, and bake half an hour
in moderate oven. Fried potatoes !

eEAcoNsFIELp's DEATH.
He Could spare No Time for Rest OF
Open-Air Exercise.

Open-Air Exercise.
The greatest difficulty was to get the
patient to take exercise. "My grand
father" he said to me, ''lived to ninety
years; he took much open-air exercise.
My father lived to eighty, yet ne never
took any," Lord Beaconsfield tried TO
steer middle course, but the utmost he
could be persuaded to take was short
walk two or three times week IL Lord
Rowton or some other pleasant friend
called to accompany him; otherwise he
easily found an excuse for not going
out His slow pace in walking prevented
him from getting much benefit from it.
Riding he had given up, although in
his early days passionately devoted to
it. For many years his life had been a
sedentary one; presuming on his hardy
constitution and the fact of his fathers
great age without open-air exercise,
he considered 1t matter optional in his
case. lie had the excuse of urgent oc-
cupation in his political and literary
life to hinder Ii. Yet nature has Mem
esis' power OF revenging herself on the
man of sedcntary life. In the end the
live= suffers. In ono OF his letters to
his sister he says: Il have recovered
from the horrors OF torpid liver, which
has overwhelmed me the last few days.
In the spring Of 1881 he felt the cold
most keenly and seldom went out for a
walk. his only exercise. Yet he could
not deny hipself the pleasure OF going
into society In the evening lie thought
that with fur coats and shut carriage he
might risk il. But on one OF the worst
nights in March he went out TO dinner,
and returning home was caught for Q
minute by the deadly blast of the north
east wind laden with sleet Bronchitis
developed the next morning with dis
tressing asthma, loss OF appetite, feyei
and congestion OF the kidneys.
During his last illness there was nj
pain nor acute suffering but at times
much distress and WEAKNESS, all o.
| which he bore with the most exemplary
| patience and endurance. To all thoss
| around him he showed tho greates
] kindness and consideration. At mid
night there was a visible change for the
worse and the heaviness gradually
passed into the calm sleep Of DEATH

CHEESE AS FOOD.


Has Been Cooked.
Much difference of opinion has pre-
vailed in regard To the value of cheese as
food. hut we are beginning TO get at real
facts with better understanding of the
relations OF the digestive functions To
food elements. Cheese has been much
lauded by many because of the great
amount of nutritiye TODD elements 1t
contains, and people have been urged
indiscriminately to eat IL freely, some
enthusiasts making the most extrava-
giant claims for IL as a health diet. But
many people who have sought 70 follow
this counsel find themselves speedily
the victims Of indigestion and dyspep-
sia. They would consider 1t little short
Of treason to charge their disordered
digestion to tine cheese, but the truth Is
the cheese is the most probable cause In
any such case. Although, 80 far as its
constituents are concerned, cheese Is
fairly entitled to its fame as model
TODD. yet In raw cheese these constitu-
ents are very difficult Of solution by the
digestive iuices-that il, raw cheese is
indigestible 10 degree that makes IL
unavailable as food except 20 the strong
est and healthiest stomachs, and should
not be eaten by any one who finds on
trial that IL gives his stomach the least
discomfort II is found. however, that
cooking the cheese removes this ditii-
Guilty and makes cheese easy OF diges-
ton. and as nutritious as tender meat
and more so. Various methods have
been adopted for this purpose, from
plain broiling. frying or toasting 70 the
most elaborate compound dishes The
main point is to get the cheese cooked
so that tho stomach can digest it--~Good
