"Well, Jack, your like never knew,
We're bound to disagree;
If said one and one were two,
You'd try to make them three.
Upon my word, take it bal,
For friend like you Eve never had.
You made me in the bawn believe,
The GIN set there to catch
Some appie-loving son of Eve,
Exploded with match.
When in the lane saw hog,
You tried to prove it was dog"

You think that from the sun above
Light. life and heat have birth;
What would you say we're l to prove
That it has blighted earth?
Nor is my logic at loss
To prove the soul but earthly dross."

"A Briton bold who's like to see
His country rule the globe,
For lauding British bravery
You called me Anglophobe;
And bacEed your logic with bet
To prove us all a british set.

Misleading honest folk.
That Gladstone's famous Irish Bill
Was but an Irish joke.

Well always differ, you and L"

ment OF the tuber, making the latter COM
plete and palatable dish. He furthermore
says that the everyday combination OF
mashed potato and sausage Is an application
of the same principle.
In the absence OF pork, the potato eater
substitutes cheap oily fish, the herring.
The combination of fatty material with the
potato is still further illustrated in our
baked potato and butter, in fried potatoes in
their endless variety OF form, in potato
mashed with milk or cream. finally arriving
at the most perfect and finished com mbination

BLACKMoRE's WORD FOR IT.
And on the literary side of this subject it
80 happened that one of the foremost of
English novelists has left it on record that
his own country people were first to find out
there is an affinity between "fat and pota-
toes" In Lorna Doone," that exquisite
Mosaic o. early English farm life in Somer-
setshire 200 years ago, John Ridd, who
speaks for himself, in his account Of the
opening of the harvest and the feast that
followed goes on to say: Il had no time to
ask questions. but help meat and ladls
gravy. All the while our darling Annie,
with her sleeves tucked up and her comely
figure painting, was running about with a
bucket of taties mashed with lard and cab
bage." Mr.. Blackmore, the author of
lorna Doone," is recognized as an author
ity on the subjects about which he writes;
and he is, beyond doubt, an able antiquary,
from which we conclude that he has here
adhered closely to facts.
From these experiences it is obvious that
the potatoe, as an article Of food, is one of
the most important known to modern civil
ization; that as staple it ranks next to
grain and flesh, and that it should be used,
as science and common sense indicate, with
other foods and not alone.
We shall treat in another article of the
more practical side of this subject

IRELAND's OTHER FOODS.
While it is said the potato is the chief
food OF the peasantry in Ireland, it Is not to
be taken that it is the exclusive and only
diet. 1t is supplemented by milk, such
grains as barley and rye, the flesh of the
hog, and in some parts, so we are informed
other vegetables and fish aud domestic
fowl. But the potato is understood to be
distinctly the staple reliance; other produc-
tions being contributary to this. Or these.
perhaps the pig is the most common, for it
seemssthe Irish peasant and his pig are asso-
c,ated together as inseparably as Mother
Hubbard and her dog.
And in this there is much more than q
mere figure of speech. When foreigners
came visiting TO this country generation
ago they remarked that potatoes fried in
hogs fat was a common dish on all public
tables at every meal. This was noticed as
peculiarly an American dish. 1t is referred
to by Charles Dickens in his american
Notes." and commented upon in way not
flattering to us. He has been followed bv
others in the same strain, some OF whom, if
we may be excused the expression, would
possibly have been humorously character
lied by Judge Halliburton, in the language
of Sam Slick, as mighty small potatoes,
and few in hill"
MIXED UP WITH PorAroEs.
Without regard to such unfavorable COM
ment the fact is that the mixture of the tat
of pork with the potato is one OF those happy
combinations of food which, founded on
necessity and common sense, is recognized
and accepted by the highest scientific au-
thorities as . most excellent one. OF such
authorities Sir Henry Thompson, to whom
we have before referred, is un.
questionably one OF the highest. On
this subject he says that the potato
forms a vegetable basis in composition
