she Is Turning to Bone.

Mrs. Mollie Hughes, a highly respected
widow lady, living near Camerville, Ida,
Is afflicted with a unique and most dis
tressing disease. Little by little the flesh
of her entire body is turning to solid bone.
or in other words she Is becoming ossified.
The disease was first noticed in 1886 when
Mrs. Hughes was Miss nuychink, of Can
yon Rapids. At that time only a single fin
ger was affected. Within q month after
the time when Miss Duychink first no.
ticed the numbness and stiffness of the fin
ger it had been accidentally broken OF
while she was asleep.
The incident gave the girl no pain, there
being neither blood, nerves or flesh left ia
the diseased member. but It excited the
alarm Of the family, who called In physi-
clan. The broken stump of the finger was
amputated back to where the living flesh
set on, aud everything was thought to be
all right. Soon the flesh, muscles, arteries.
veins and nerves on her hands, fingers and
arms became rs hard and feelingless as the
finger had been before it was broken of.
Next the awful malady extended to tho
elbows, the forearms becoming as white
and clear ~ alabaster. Within the year
the toes and the end OF the nose and ear
tips showed a like color RICHNESS. The
process OF ossifcation has now been going
on nearly five years, and the attendins
physicians says that II IL only a matter OF
time when the entire body Of the poor vic
tim will be q solid bone. IL is rare dis
ease. and the pathology of il il little under

clubs in London. But the potatoes are
uniformly bad, waxy and indigestible.
do not write merely of club grievance.
l am an old housekeeper-married over
twenty years. ! am passionately fond of
potatoes. aud rarely ever get them to my
liking. had to go o. the other day,
and my host is a large potato grower. At
dinner the potatoes were perfect-ravish-
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 abC,nina-
bic. His were light, dry. mealy and per
fectly delightful.
Being a bit Of q 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 MAKO
this starch agreeable to the eye and the
palate its corpuscular elements must be
split up by heat in the presence of excess
of moisture, and at temperature just a
little higher than boiling water at the sea
level (2l2 deGs.). Now, happen to live at
| such q height above sea level that water
| probably boils at 2l0 degs. Hence rever
| get good potatoes. My hosts house was
| just as mine and his cook said that the
water in bis 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 a big handful of salt in the pot
| of potatoes, and think raised the boiling
point to about 2l6 dogs. Then. after boil
ing them till the skins burst she poured
of the water cooked the lid half of the
pot, put the latter on the hob, and thus
| for about fifteen minutes she thoroughly
dried them. The result was amazing and
delightful. l went home, and l made a
series of careful experiments. You cannot
steam u potato into perfection unless you
inclose the steam so as to raise its temper
allure to about ZIG 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 aud easy of digestion.
After such treatment they may be made
into soup; they may be baked or roasted
Qor q few minutes only in their skins;
they may be mashed, cooked la maitre,
saute, or fifty things may be done VITA
them, but first of all they must be boiled
in their skins, with plenty of salt, and
then well dried.-Pall Mall Gazette.
