4 Southern Luncheon.

\ southern lady said: II will tell you il
you like how our old black 'auntie' cooks
tweet potatoes, or vans, as she calls them
et home, 1t is the best way by long odds
of preparing them for the table, although
perhaps you will think it rather extrava-
CANT, as il takes gfSat deal of butter.
After the potatoes have been thoroughly
boiled take oil the skins and cut them
lengtlwise in quarters, or more pieces if the
potatoes are large. Then in a baking pan
dissolve a large piece Of butter with half a
cupful Of brown sugar, Lay the potatoes
in the pan and cook them for about Is min
utes, basting them every now and then
with the butter and sugar and turning
them over several times. Serve them with
really good cnrned beef miuee and sweet
corn on the cob, and you have southern
luncheon that is fit for a king. New York

Specimen Of the Finny Tribe Which Closely
Resembles Sea Serpent

7 BosToN, Aug. 30.-Stretched out dead
on @ plank in the hold of the schooner NJ.
b. Stetson at T wharf, there Is queer
looking creature Of the ilnny tribe, which
appears To he first cousin TO sea serpent.
II 10 about the same size at the tail as at
the head; but IL seems too slender for a
tsh, being only about 10 inches In oircum.
ference. 1t seemed to be composed of a
long back bone, fairly even In diameter.
covered with thin layer OF fiesn, whicn
hanging rather loosely on the under side
gives to the creature fat, instead of
round, Appearance Its length from tip TO
DIP is nearly five feet
The creature 10 a blackish- blue in color,
and has long dorsal fin, which when
raised measures nearly 10 inches Ia
height. The other fms are large In pro-
portion to the rest Of the body. Ths
mouth opens very wide, and the teeth are
long and sharp. One upper tooth Ia more
than an inch In length, and one-fourth Of
an inch wide.
This strange copbination Of 6sh and
serpent was brought into port by the Stet-
son, which is fishing schooner Of Prov
incetown. Two Of Captain Wolfe's men
took the creature while they were out In
dory of LaHsve bank, Nova Scotia The
captain has not decided what to do with
1t, unless he sends IL to one Of the exbibi-
tors at the Worlds fair; but he Is trying
TO have some one name end classify the
strange find None Of the old fishermen
can tell what 1t is. though the general
opinion seems to be that II comes about as
near being sea serpent as any fnny
specimen ever captured.
