POTATOES.
Various Good ways OF Preparing Fo.
the Table.

Don't throw away cold potatoes.
Save and utilize it. There are num-
erous ways in which it can be quickly
rewarmed, and in many of them when
properly done is almost as good as
when first cooked.
Much of the potato served up at
hotels is merely rewarmed potato
and can be under fanciful foreign
names prepared similarly, in any
private kitchen very easily, very in
extensively
AS Plait Stewed-Slice cold, boiled
potato, put in a stew pan with cold
gravy of any kind, season with salt
and pepper, stew gently for ten
minutes, or until thoroughly heated.
and then serve as plain stewed
potato.
Baked Hash-Mix well, about
equal portions, finely minced cold
potato, moisten with milk, gravy or
soup stock-never with water
season with salt and pepper, make
into a roll, put in a buttered pan
and bake in the oven. This if prop
erly prepared and cooked will be
delicious hash.
A Brown Fry-Cut cold boiled po-
tato in even slices, DIE 'ge lightly
with -four and fry brown in butter,
, drippings, cotolene or lard.
Potato rovencale-Cutcold boiled
potato in little balls with vegetable
scoop, and fry, with few slices of
onion added, in butter, drippines or
! cotolene and it will be potato prov
| encale.
Lyonaise Potatoes-Cut cold boiled
potato into little dice-shaped pieces,
add minced onion, fry in butter,
season with salt and pepper, sprinkle
with chopped parsley and you will
have Lyonaise potatoes.
Cakes and Balls-Enrich cold
mashed potato with beaten egg
yolk, make the mixture into balls
dip the balls into beaten egg, roll il
bread crumbs or corn meal, anC
brown in a quick oven. These vii
be potato balls. Make the prepared
mixture into fat cakes, and brown
in little hot fat, and you will hav'
potato cakes.

ACunnins Frog.

A naturalist paper relates an in
teresting instance of a frogs cum
ming. A brood of chickens was ted
with moistened meal in saucers, and
when the dough soured a little it at
tracted large numbers of flies. An
observant toad had evidently noticed
this, and every day toward evening
he would make his appearance in the
yard, hop to a saucer, climb in and
roll over and over until he was
covered with meal, having done
which he awaited developments. The
flies, enticed by the smell, soon
swarmed around the scheming batra
chain, and whenever one passed
within two inches or so of his nose
his tongue dareed out and the fly
disappeared. This plan worked SO
well that the toad made a regular
business OF it.

The SENTINEL is permitted to make
use of the following extract from a
private letter received by d lady in
the city from a relative who has re-
Gently visited Niagara and the
Worlds Fair. It is interesting
enough to give to the public:
We saw but little of Michigan or
Illinois except the very wonderful
city of Chicago covering, as it seems
TODD, a pretty thickly settled space
twenty miles square, with two mil
lions of people therein, it is now
claimed; or, in other words, the most
populous city in the United States,
New York not excepted. But alto
gether the greatest natural wonder
we met with on our journey was
Niagara Falls, TO examine which
more. thoroughly than ever before

some five hours. The dOwn-pour OF
water over those falls is very mighty
in its features, and yet after visiting
the Worlds Fair, as | have done but
one day thus far, | am no less i'm

latter testifies of the ability and
wonderful ingenuity of mankind
throughout this globe which we in

as one of natures exhibitions OF
| overwhelming power, independently
| of the help of man. L hardly know
which of them is greatest, both being
very great. The Falls involve no
wit, no design, no intellectual assis
lance, but purely the result OF
natural causes, while the Worlds
Fairs exhibits the mighty capablll-
ties of human beings in building up
a mass of structures for the accomo-
dation of various nations, of much
architectural excellence and beautl
full ornamentation, which must have

ABOUT WEALTH.
A Few Words from q Celebrated
Preacher.

Rev. Thos. Dixon, Jr.
Personally 1 do not decry wealth
or it's accumulation. / do believe
that it is a crime for any man to
rear a family in the world and not
provide for them. 1 believe that
there is a sin which a man may be
guilty OF that is worse than the at
tempt to get money-it is the vice of
the spendthrift, and it is a vice of
which the preacher is often most
guilty. l confess that it is one of my
sins. With me, personally, the
money problem has been always

Good Water.

The Americas Times-RecOrder says
that several negroes were grouped
around the artesian we'll in that city
a few days since, and among the
number was a dudish Macon coon,
who evidently desired to make dis
play of himself and his knowledge OF
of things generally for the benefit OF
his admiring American friends.
Picking up a tin cup he filled it to
the brim, but before drinking turned
to an old antebellum darby and
asked if the water had ever been
analysed.

Strong for Repeal.
From the Baltimore SUM-

From the Baltimore Sun.
The Lynchburg IVA. Tobacco Asso-
citation has unanimously adopted a
resolution asking Congress to repeal
the Sherman silver-purchase act be-
fore entering upon the consideration
of the general question of finances or
any other matter likely to claim at
tention during the extra session.
Every leading tobacconist in Lynch
burg belongs to this association and
it represents a large portion of the
wealth of the city. Lynchburg finan-
ciers and business men stand as high
as those of any city in the country.
Before the war Lynchburg stood sec
ond in wealth, according to popula-
tion, among the cities of the country
and it is now one of the most solid,
progressive inland cities in the South.
It's Tobacco Association and Board of
Trade doubtless voice the almost
unanimous sentiment of that section
in behalf of repeal. Senator John w.
Daniels resides in Lynchburg.

mature, first by their color, and they
will readily loosen at the stem, while the
others strongly adhere.
The we'll known rule for gathering
pears when the fruit will readily separ-
ate from the tree when lifted half way
up, is an excellent rule; but there is
usually less difference in the time of
ripening than with apples. Pears which
ripen early and in medium season
should always be gathered some days
before ripe. Choice varieties may be
packed in drawers or boxes. and will be-
come more delicious at maturity than If
ripened in the open air and on the tree.
This is particularly important with
early pears, and wrapped in flannel
and allowed to remain some days they
will be greatly improved, and those
which have a slight blush naturally
will redden into real beauty when ma
tured. Late autumn or winter varieties
require rather less care and may be
treated more like winter apples but at
the same time they should be carefully
and well secured in a cool and uniform
temperature.-Coun Gentleman.

Here is something to consider. John

terday / saw at the local mills. wheat
being sold at $3.50 per ton. and farmers
loading up with shorts at 81 per ton to
feed, for the drought is demanding some
thing for extra feeding. Did the man
who received $3.50 TO boot between wheat
and shorts, get any value received out
Of the matter; or was it not the miller
who got the -four? There is a wide
spread idea that the -four of the wheat is
not intended by Providence to be used
as food save by the human family, but
with wheat at 50 cents. il begins to look
as If the beasts of the field had the
CALI on the humans in the matter of
high-priced food. The matter hereabouts
is being actively discussed, and if / am
not greatly mistaken, there will be con-
siderable quantities of wheat ground for
milch COWS, for it looks as if there were
a. screw loose in business calculations
when wheat sells for SIS, and mill feed
for 81 a ton; and what's left as -four
sells for $3.50 barrel
