Dnn't Ent Pntnto Skins,

The skin of n nicely served baked po-
tato is certainly a temptation to any
who have tasted it, but it is just as well
to resist the temptation Quite a large
percentage Of potatoes are shipped in
from a distance after having been pre-
served, packed away carefully TO avoid
sprouting, which quickly spoils a stack
of potatoes and leaves them almost
worthless. In some parts of the country
sulphuric acid is used to make sprouting
impossible. The potatoes are dipped
into bath with some of the acid dropped
in, and as a result the little eyes are
killed, and any intention of sprouting is
nipped in the bud. 1t is said that the
acid cannot possibly penetrate the skin,
and this is no doubt true. AT the same
time enough of the poison may have
been absoI bed by the skin itself to make
eating it, even after careful washing, de-
cidedly dangerous.

Polnters About Ostriches.

In each wing of an ostrich twenIy-six
long white plumes grow to maturity in
eight months. In the male these are
pure white, while those of the female
shade to ecru or gray. The short feaih-
ers are plucked for tips, and each wing
furnishes seventy-fve of these. The tail
feathers are Of deep old ivory color,
and sixty-fve of these have a CONNER
cial value. In a late plucbing at the
Coronado ostrich farm nearly 300 feath-
ers were obtained from one bird, which,
when curled and dressed, will be worth
sixty-fve dollars. The female ostrich
lays seventy eggs year.

Grea: Isri.gln'n Slaves.

The English people have always had
great deal to say about their aversion to
slavery, but no worse system ever ex-
listed in the world than that which pre-
walls in some of the British colonies
where cody labor is employed. The
coolies are indentured in India or China
that is, they are practically sold to the
agent, who sells them again to planters
For term Of years, usually ten, they
become the slaves Of the planters; for
petty offenses they are fined until they
become hopelessly indebted to their
owners; they are not allowed to leave
the plantation without Il pass, or if they
do they are liable to arrest as runaways.

TO ESTABLISH A GRADE
A Property Owner Obtains a Writ
of Mandate.

On the petition of Simon Kapka, prop
erty-oMner on Liberty street. Superior
Judge CARRIER granted writ of mandate
yesterday directing the Board of Super
visors to appear before Judge Murphy on
September to show cause why the grad
ing Of Liberty street, near Sanchez should
not be commenced in accordance with the
recommendations of the Sewer Commits
slOners in Octo ber last year.
The object of the work desired is to
secure grade which. at a point in Lib
erty street 800 feet west of Sanchez shall
be 339 feet above the base. thence sloping
westerly 10 Noe street ana easIerly to San
chez, so that the cut caused by the said
grade on the highest pout Of Liberty street
shall be fifteen feet deep. This would give
grade ot about 20 per cent TO the cross
ing OF Noe and Liberty streets, and abou;
10 per cent TO the crossing at Sanchez and
Liberty streets.
The Supervisors, it appears. proposed to
establish a level grade. But it is stated
that this would necessitate a cut through
jiberiy-sireet hill of sixty-seyen feet, and
would cause great depreciation in the value
Of the property ia the neigh hborhood.

A More Commodious and Better
Arranged Building for the
Wards of the Sisters.

Right on the very summit of the Hayes
street hill. on the northeast corner of Fill
more street, a large four-story structure of
imposing appearance is nearly completed.
In fact the whole interior is finished and
painted. and it is only necessary TO flush
the plasteriDg within to have the place
ready for occupancy
The ediice will be occupied by the Sis
ters of the Holy Family as mother home.
The house they occupy at present on
Hayes street, near Van Ness avenue, is
not large enough, and many of the rooms
are useless because they have not been
arranged properly for the Sisters USE
The new home. which will be entirely
paid for by the Sisters, is sixty feet front
by 112 feet deep. To the west of it are
grounds. fifty By eighty feet. The build
ing is four-story high, the main entrance
being on the second floor. A broad flight
of stairs leads to the front door, which is
in the center of the building. The edifice
is so arranged that unbroken light streams

On the first or basement floor is the re-
fectOry or dining-room. tie kitchen or
pantry-rOOms, a dining-room for the poor
and hall for the children. The latter is
seventy-SiX feet long and fsrty feet wide
and can be connected with the other
rooms on the floor by opening the large
double doors between.

tion-rooms and Offices com bined, a serving
room and novitiate which is separated

A chapel, two dormitories and an infrm-
airy constitute the tDird floor. chapel

ton.
The home will be occupied by thirty-one
Sisters of the Holy Family. The.dedicaton

Cases to Begin.
All the evidence in the Hesper murder
cases against Herman Sparf and Hans
Hansen is in. and United States District
Attorney Garter will begin his argument
in the United States Circuit Court at 10
o'clock this morning.
The witnesses examined yesterday were
First Mate John Lucas, Steward Peter
Luck, Carpenter John Languis, Seamen
Thomas Green, Edward Lawson, Pandy
Sacaria, James Olson and Daniel Wilson,
Chemist Price and Captain and Mrs Sod
ergren. Their testimony did not greatly
differ from that adduced upon St. Clair's
trial.
The hatchet and club used in the killing
Of Fitzgerald aud a tin box containing
some of the dead second mates hair were
all put In evidence. Chemist Price gave
the results of his examination of the blood
found on the club.
The only witnesses placed on the stand
by Attorney Smith for the defense were
Captain Sodergren and wife. The object
was to show that Seaman Green was con-
nected with the crime in some way and to
endeavor 10 lessen the effect of his test =
mony against the prisoners. Both wit
nesses testified that just after the tragedy
and during the voyage to Tahiti Green
acted in peculiar manner.
He was sometimes where he ought OF
to have been in various parts OF the vessel.
and did great deal of grinnlng. as II his
knowledge IF the crime was gre ater than
might have been supposed. The state
ment made by Green at Tahiti was OF
offered IN evidence.
The case will probably 60 to the jury to-

GONE UP ON APPEAL.
The Northern Pacific Suit Against
Spokane.

Spokane.
A case which has been often referred to
in the judicial proceedings connected with
the Oakland waterfront controversy is
that of the Northern Pacific Railroad Com
pany against the city of Spokane. This
was a suit for an Injunction which Judge
Cornelius ii. Hanford Of the United States
Circuit Court for the district of Washing
ton decided adversely to the railroad COM
pany. An appeal has been taken to the
United States Circuit Court of Appeals and
a transcript of the record was yesterday
received by Clerk MOnckton.
Certain l'nd of the railroad company
was plated as an addition to the city Of
Spokane Falls in 1880. and a street called
Railroad street was run through il.
Among others Mill street intersected it.
At the Mill-street crossing the railroad
company had its freight sheds and depot,
which, in the big ire at that city in 1889.
were burnea. The railroad company was
intending to put up a $3.50 building Of
brick and stone, but temporarily II pro-
posed cheap wooden structure.
The city contended that the proposed
building would obstruct public street,
and Mayor rumbeller and the other
officials threatened to pull down what part
OF the Temporary structure had been put
up.
Pending injunction proceedings the
Northern Pacific applied for a restraining
order, which was allowed. This was in
September OF last year and The restraining
order worked both ways, the city being
forbidden To pull down the building and
The railroad company being prevented
