ingl A few questions and answers ELECTED
the remarkable fact that my own table
was usually supplied by my hosts pota-
toes. But mine were always like those of
the club-dull. sodden, waxy and abomna
BILE His were light, dry, mealy and per
fectly delightful
Being a bit Of a cook myself arranged
with my host to spend the next forenoon
In his kitchen. The potato is composed al
most entirely of pure starch. To make
this starch agreeable to the eye and the
palate it's corpuseular elements must be
split up by heat in the presence of excess
of moisture, and at a temperature just a
little higher than boiling water at the sea
level (212 degs,) Now, happen TO live at
such height above sea level that water
probably boils at $40 dogs. Hence never
get good potatoes My hosts house was
just as mine, and his cook said that the
water in his well did not suit potatoes
she knew nothing about the sea level and
temperature-so that she was Obliged to
soften it with salt"
She put big handful of salt In the pot
OF potatoes, and think raised the boiling
point to about PIG dogs. Then, after boil
ing them till the skins burst, she poured
off the water, cooked the lid half off the
pot, put the latter on the hob and thus
for about fifteen minutes she thoroughly
dried them. The result was amazing and
delightful | went home, and | made
series Of careful experiments. You cannot
steam a potato into perfection unless you
inclose the steam so as to raise its temper
AZURE to about 216 degs.
Potatoes must always be boiled in their
skins and in pretty strong saline solu-
ton in order to get them in perfection, de
lightful to the palate and easy of digestion.
After such treatment they may be made
into soup; they may be baked or roasted
(for few minutes only in their skins:
they may be mashed, cooked la maitre,
saute, or fifty things may be done with
them, but first of all they must be boiled
in their skins, with pleoty of salt. and
then well dried.-Pall Mall Gazette.

They are Not Yet Ready for the Eight
Hour Movement.
INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 19.-The vote of
the various typographical unions of
North America ON the proposition to
make nine hours a days work has been
completed, and w. B. Prescott, presi-
dent, and w. S. McCleevey, secretary of
the international union, at headquarters
in this city, have just concluded the work
of figuring up the returns. The vote
closed Saturday night. All the unions
did net yete ct the same time Gu the
proposition, but at their convenience, as
regarded the holding of the election.
The total membership in the union is
29,813, and the total vote cast was 49,
1896, considerably less than one-half the
membership voting. Under the ruling
Of President Prescott that a three
fourths vote of those voting was neces-
sary to ratify, the proposition failed to
carry. This would require 9,672 votes
in its favor, and but 0,340 were so cast,
1856 being against it. 1t thus fell short
of ratification by 1872 votes.

BIRMINGHAM, Aug. 49, A Gull
man county citizen, who has just reached
Birmingham, confirms the report of the
lynching of Monroe Evans and John
Evans, near Baileytown, fifteen miles
west of Cullman, Saturday night. The
Evanses, father and son, both white,
were wanted ON the charge of shooting
Pierce Mooney some time ago. Mooney
was not even wounded. The two men
were arrested few days ago. Their
trial was sent for Saturday, and they
were neither gried nor allowed to make
bond.
The men were put under guard at a
house, and ABOUT II o'clock Saturday
night mob of 200 White Caps appeared
and overpowered the guards, who fed
in dislnay. The mob took the men, and
leading them off short distance strung
them up to the same tree. The men
who were hanged begged pitiously for
mercy, but to no avail. The White
Caps did their work quietly and left.
The greatest excitement prevails in
Cullman county in the neighborhood of
the hanging.

'Now that another summer Is upon MS, 4"
said the perennial crank, ''let me urge
upon you newspaper men that you have an
opportunity to do a great net of philau
tbropy for many hundreds OF New York
ers whose incomes will not allow them to
spend the dog days out OF the heated city,

In 1t.
Get big steamer, or, better still, build
one with plenty Of roomy staterooms, well
ventilated, with ample dining, smoking
and lounging saloons, and two or three
decks for promenade and chairs. Charge
the customary summer hotel rates, and let
the steamer have pier near the Battery
Let her start from that pier every eve
ming at the close of business and steam
slowly out of the bay while her guests are
at dinner. Then let her touch her pier
again In time for those who want to spend
the evening on shore After these people
are landed on the pier let the steamer put
out from the shore and steam slowly about
In the cool evening air, while her passeD
gers amuse themselves in her saloons and
staterooms and on her decks just rs people
do In hotels. just little before midnight
let the steamer steam up to her pier and
take on board those people who have been
at the theaters, etc, and then drop away
down the bay again for the night.
What refreshing and invigorating sleep
man could get In that salty air. Quiet
and order could be preserved on board just
as well as in hotel, and in the morning
passengers could be landed fresh for bust
ness, while those who had no business In
the city could spend the whole day on board
II they liked
"There need be little unpleasant bump
ing and noise Of machinery, as only enough
steam would need to be kept up to insure
steerage way. No one would look for
speed. The expenses would be as small
as any other city hotels. and | am certain
that people would just tumble over each
other to get quarters on the ship. Onthose
rare occasions when the water was too
rough or the wind too boisterous the ship
need not leave her pier at all, as the atmos
phere would be cool enough then down by
the Battery to render the night agreeable.
"Think of the thousands Of New Workers
who must stay in the reeking hot city all
summer. How they would jump at such a
boarding housed tell you there's money in
