The North American Review publishef1a
symposium concerning Safeguards Against
cholera" One Of the writers is DR.. Samuel
w. Abbott Secretary Of the Boston Board
OF Health, who says;
Arhe inebriate offers a f~avorlte soil for
the cultivation Of cholera, since alcohol is a
wehsknown poison, and produces the weak
ened physical condition which is favorable
to the reception and growth OF the infectious
principle OF the disease"
Though there Is little present danger Of
the spr,ad OF cholera infection Ia this coun,
try, the dread disease still fingers in Europe
notably 10 Russia, and with its possible re.
appearance here next year the scientific fact
stated by DR.. Abbott, that alcoholic poisoa
produces the weakened bodily condition pre-
disposing to cholera, should be everywhere
proclaimed and emphasized, with the coun.
sci and admonition 10 all 10 abstain there

pers carefully into stone jars, sprinkle a
layer Of salt over each layer of peppers.
When the jar is full put two or three
cabbage leaves over the top, then a

PLANTS For WINTER.

The fall is the time for preparing
those plants that are chosen to brighten
the home with LEAKAGE and bloom during
the winter. The first point to be con-
sidered is the choice of the plants.
Young breathing plants are always to be
preferred rather than those that are ex-
hausted with poisoning during the
summer. It seems almost heartless to
leave tall, thrifty plants to the mercy of
the ~frosts, but not only their prolonged
poisoning has weakened them, but
their rapid growth under summer suns
has rendered them less hardy. Feeble
plants should never be taken into the
window garden unless 1t be to save Some
favorite species.
Examine the earth carefully aud sec.
that it is free from insects aud grubs. 1t
is a good plan to put panfuls of loamy
garden earth and leaf mold mixed into
the oven, and bake it half an hour.
This will kill all insects, and when
the earth is cool is is ready to use. Out
off all water-soaked roots, aud then press
the earth firmly around the plants, using
always the common red earthen pots
with separate saucers for each pot.
Keep rcpotted plants in a shady place
for a week or so, until the roots are well
settled in their new homes. Do not let
these plants bloom for a month or two,
but pinch off all buds, that the strengt,
of the plant may be concentrated in the
Ioots, in order to produce a new, vigor-
ous growth Of branches.

CHEMISTRY OF TIE K POTATO.
Usually the first vegetable prescribed
by the physician for the sick person who
is beginning to use solids is a baked
potato. A baked potato, however, may
be no better than u boiled unless it be
done in so high a temperature that the
starch is affected. Boiled potatoes
cannot be subjected to a higher temper.
allure than 212 degrees Fahrenheit.
Baked potatoes may be done in such
a way that they are little better than
boiled-for instance, done in a SLOW
oven. On the other hand, if they are
put into a temperature of $50 or 400
degrees Fahrenheit, or what is called a
shot oven" they will be done in such a
manner that the conversion Of starch
will in a degree take place aud the po-
tato be consequently palatable aud easily
digested. Potatoes roasted In hot em.
bers are delicious aud for the same rea.
IN. The high degree of heat cooks
the starch properly, but it must not be
understood that by cooking potatoes in
a high temperature the starch which
they contain is all changed into dex-
trine. This does not usually take place
except in slight degree; however, by
the high temperature it is better pre-
pared for this change in the processes
of digestion. Probably what does take
place is a sort of hydration of the starch,
resulting in the complete swelling aud
final bursting OF the granules. Just at
the moment when this takes place the
potatoes are done and should be imme-
diately taken from the fire aud served at
once.-St. Louis Republic.

So high an authority as Lady Frederick
C~avendish, seconded by the Duchess OF Bed
ford, Rffirms that women in aristocratio
English society are becoming drunkarks,
that they indulge not alone in wine at dim
ner, but brandy and soda between times aud
something hot as a nightcap. Incidentally
it Is charged thai the use OF ohlorai, chloro-
dyne and morphia is becoming fashionable,
and that in the secret recesses OF many a
boudoir these deadly drugs are to be found.
Young women also smoke cigars, having
even passed the cigarette stage.
English society is said to be shocked a.
the exposure, which is doubtless q proper
sensation to undergo. Yet it does not APP
pear that there is strong expression OF vir-
tue in a mere shock at the revelation OF that
which within the precincts thus laid bare TO
unfeeling% inspection must have already been
common knowledge. The shock is occa-
stoned, perhaps, by the taking OF the public
into confidence.
The ready excuse for high-toned drunk
enness is that the social demands are so
great that they overtax the powers of the
slave to them. The woman, forced as she
thinks, TO entertain and be entertained.

stimulants. Having thus abused her nerves

APPLE nurrER For MARKET.

Why do not farmers who have large
amounts Of apples that do not pay for
drawing long distances to market try the
plan of turning some Of the surplus into
apple buttsr1 1t requires considerable
labor, as it is a branch of manufacture;
but the farmer who has invested labor
in this way is surer to get pay for it
than he is for most of his work on the
farm. As far as possible the farmer
should put the product of his farm in
the form where it will bring him most
money, and if he thereby turns his farm
at some seasons into a factory he may be
none the less prosPerous.-New York

II has been suggested that a. skins

liquors, the hogshead or hogshide was
originally a barrel Of the same capacity
as a liquor containing vessel made Of the

may have been "oxhide" from which the

BAKE BREAD nOhANo DAhbA0hNs
All kinds Of raised bread or cake rise
much quicker in a kitchen in the day
time when the kitchen is warm, than at
night, when the fire is out. Therefore
Eve or six hours in the day are equal to
twelve hours at night. In cold weather
anything made with yeast should be
made early in the evening, that 1t may
get started to rise before the kitchen Is
cold. Some housekeepers keep a piece
of an old ironing blanket, kept clean, to
field and lay over the cotton or linen
bread cloth, to keep the bread warm
while rising. --Boston C%ultivstor.

WANTS TO FIND HIS FRIEND.
Peter Murphy, Well Known to Sportsman,
Is Out $500.
Especial to the Press.1

WATERvILLE, July 1s.-Nearly every
sportsman in New England has either
heard of or met Peter Murphy, the ge-
NAL proprietor of the sporting camps at
Enchanted pond, but few, if any, would
have recognized that individual in the
detected ''Peter" that dropped in on his
friends in this city today in quest of the
person who stole from him the neat lit
tie sum of $500. Peter Murphy has this
season worked crew of men for Law
renee Brothers of South Gardiner on
their drive and, completing his job last
week, started for South Gardiner to col
lect the money due him. Lawrence
Brothers were found and check re-
ceived amounting to S1119 on the First
National Bank of Skowhegan. Peter
went directly to Skowhegan, where he
cashed the check, receiving two
packages of $500 each, the bal
ance in loose bills. This money
he left with his daughter, who
lives in Skowhegan, while he went out to
see the sights with friend. Peter told
this friend all about the money. He then
got his property from his daughter and
started for home. His friend, much to
his surprise, turned up again in Bing-
ham and Peter had drink with him.
Afterwards, he found he had lost the
money. Now Peter would like to see
his friend, but that gentleman is miss
ing.

SYDNEY, N. S. W., July 1S.-The cap
tain of the steamer Catterthun reports
that on June 29th he called at Timor and
found that a Dutch steamer had left
Great Sangir Island June II. A few
hours after her departure, the sound of
a terrific explosion was heard in the di-
rection of the Sangir group. This was
followed shortly afterwards by a shower
of ashes, which covered the deck of the
steamer and darkened the whole atmos-
phere. When the clouds of detritus
cleared away. nothing was visible on the
horizon but masses of vapor that extended
for many miles. Great Sangir, which prior
to the explosion, was in full sight, could
not be seen. Six sailing vessels were an
chored off the island and it is thought
they were destroyed. The captain of
the Catterthun states the island of Lu-
zon, the largest of the Philippine group,
recently suffered severely from eruptions
the fire from which caused widespread
devastation.
