HOW TO COOK POTATOES.
There Is m Art In Rolling, and Few Know
 How to Mash Them.

There is a prevailing opinion that every ono l.rowS low to cook q potato. This opinion is the very reverse of the fact. The best of potatoes are too often spoiled in the cooking. From being one of the most tasteful and nutritious of veEe tables it may be made both disaErceable and even disgusting. all through the ma nipulatlons of an incompetent Bridget.
 The greatest amount of ''meallneSs" lies near the skin. and parings half an inch thick dispense Clfcctually wi,h de sideratum. On the other hand, how dis gustinS are patches of skin and 'cyCs" left here and there! To pare potatoes properly you must not have a blunt knife, but rather small, sharp pointed one that can deal with deep set eyes and awkward protubcrauces. New potatoes should have their skins brushed off or scrapcd off with a knife.
 Undoubtedly there is an art in boiling potatoes well. To accomplish this re- suit l,t your potatoes be slzable ur cut to almost equal size; let them lie in cold water for half an hour or more after pairing: put them i'll boiling water, just enough to cover theE, adding d little salt. aui let them boil not too fast. un- til they are nearly ready to break. Pour off the water quickly, set the saucepan with the potatoes on the stove for a , minute with the lid of. give them a shake and place them in the vegetable dish. which has been warmed, and cover them lightly with q napkin. They should l be eaten at once, or they will soon pass the condition of prime.
 There arc many possibilities iR a dish | of cold boiled potatoes. They can be fried, used in the making of bread and | cake, put into a pie or pudding with meat, utilized in hash, soup and many other ways.
 The first step toward d dish of delicious mashed potatoes k the preparatory one | of boiling the tubcrs-uot too long. or the result will be paste none can vat. | Neither must they be uudcrdone. but just
 sufficient to break into a fiourlike mass under the potato maShCr, when a little salt and milk or cream and butter should be added. according to taste and opinion. | The mlk should never bc uvvrduuv; and
 as to butter, that can be added at table
 if deficient. and so also the seasoning. | OvcrsaltinE hopelesSly spvllS the dish

 as q supper dish. or they c4n remain fol

It took more men to operate these ma chimes, aHl the force was furnished by ho-s"s lijrhed in teams to the ends of tle long sweeps of horsepower" that Was st up outside the barn. When ev- erything was ready, the driver used to get upon the platform in the middle of tEe power, and cracking his long whip start the horses on an interminable jour ny round and round and round in a small circle described by the ends of the revolving sweeps. You used to think that If when you were a man you could stand up on theplatform of horsepower and crack your whip and get $l.50 day for doing it you would have not lived | for naught
 There was another man who used to | inspire you with admiration. and he was the feeder who stood on platform and showed the grain into the cylinder all day long. He was man of nerve | and skill, and he got bigger pay than | any one else who went with the machine. | His work was hardest, too, and it was possessed If an element of danger that made you shudder when you thought

 One of the most popular and interest ing characters in the Midway plaisance is fine looking old man dressed in a rich Ottoman costume, who holds forth at the Turkish village.

 His friendly greeting indicates this, and his record proves it.
