The Boston Way.

This is the way they ''frizzle' potatoes in
Boston:
Cut cold boiled potatoes into very small
pieces, and to each cupful Of potato allow
half a cupful of cream or rich wiilZ, one tea
spoonful of butter, q little salt, two teaspoon
fuls of chopped celery, little pepper; add
the seasoning to the potatoes, and put them
into deep baking dish, and pour the milk
and butter over them, allowing enough to
nearly cover; place in quick oven, and brown
delicately.-New York Commercial Adver-

A very tiny boy stood on tiptoes and tried

THE AGE or REALISM.
How the Daily Press of the Country Nigh
Enter This Broad Field.

How the Daily Press of the Country Might
Enter This Broad Field.
The present Is the age of realism.
There is no reason whatever why the
stage or the novel should have monop-
oily in realism either. The daily press
might Just as well have its share of glory
in this field. For instance, the other
day a young woman fell from a second
story window, and her garments catch
ing on nail left her suspended, head
downward. Ordinarily the chronicler
would content himself with the bare
statement of facts, but the proper mod
ern way would be something like this:
From her perilous height she oscillated,
the precious plaything of each passing
wind. Above her was not a ray of hope;
below horrible destruction menaced her.
In agonized tones she cried out:

Wit in the Capital City.


A society young woman living in the
neighborhood of the Shoreham told a
friend of hers she had been taking cod
liver oil until she couldn't look a cod
fish in the face, and the dude went away
and sent her two bottles extra with this
note:
a princess thou. to thee pay
My highest homage duly;
Thou art a royal maid, forsooth,
Cod liver royal truly.
He thought his wit would paralyze
her, but it didn't, for by messenger
came this reply:
The oil arrived, sir, c. o. D.
Collected on delivery,
Accept my thanks of-fshoil-y.
A blubber-ing princess, 1 will be.
