Boiled Potatoes.

Pare potatoes with a sharp vegetable
knife, just as thin as possible, for that
part of the tuber lying close to The skin
is richest in mineral salts, and put each
potato as peeled into pan Of cold wa
ger to prevent discOlOration. Have ready
meanwhile a kettle of boiling water,
and when the peeling process is COM
plete take the potatoes from the cold
water, and, covering them with boiling
sailed water, set them on the range,
covered, to boil Twenty minutes will
usually suffice, but TO test them use a
skewer or fork, and when they can be
pierced easily remove at once from the
fire, pour off all the water and set them
OH the back of the range, uncovered to
steam dry, assisting that process occa-
sionally by slight shaking of the ket
tie.
If one asks the reason why potatoes
should always be cooked in boiling wa
ter, try the following experiment for
proof: Take two cups, in each of which
has been put "A teaspoonful of ordinary
starch. Pour over one quarter of a
cupful of boiling water and over the
other the same quantity of cold water
and observe the result. The one over
which the boiling water was poured
stays in shape, a compact mass, while
the one with the cold water dissolves
into a soft paste. The potato is largely
composed of starch, and from this trial
any one may draw his own conclusions.
If you wish pulpy, watery potato, use
cold water; but if a dry, mealy, snowy
ball that would delight the heart of
Epicurus himself, always use boiling
water. New York Commercial.

High Prices For Playing Cards.

A sale of old playing cards took place
in London recently. The catalogue con-
tanned 46 lots, and though they lacked
the extreme rarity of many in the
Schrieber collection there were num-
Der of unusually interesting and curl
Gus packs. These were the characters
tics especially of 52 old proverb cards,
the rarity of which is testified to by the
fact that they are not mentioned in the
British museum catalogue, in which
every known variety is recorded. The
pack was in fine condition and realized
the sum of GA Is. A marble backed set

tury, fetched G3 lSs. The sum of 93
was paid for an antique geographical
pack of about the year 1875. This set
also included the rare explanatory card
and another card describing other packs
of the period. The "popish plot" pack,
which was published in 1879, was sold
for G2 1Ss These cards are very scarce,
but the completeness of the pack was
broken by the absence of the seven of
hearts, and this influenced the price.
A pack illustrating the American war,
with portraits of the generals engaged in
it, realized 2 guineas.

Hakluyt's Zeal.

The great work Of Hakluyt is the
% Principal Navigations, in three folio
volumes, a monument Of useful labor.
Nothing could stop or daunt him when
there was a chance Of obtaining new
information. He rode 200 miles TO have
an interview with the last survivor Of
Master Hore's expedition to America in
1886. He saved numerous journals and
narratives from destruction and the
deeds they record from Oblivion. His
work gave a stimulus TO colonial and to
maritime enterprise, and it inspired
our literature. Shakespeare owed much
10 Hakluyt's Principal Navigations. T"
Milton owed much more. AS the years
passed on Richard Hakluyt, in his own
quaint language, continued Ito wade
still further and further in the sweet
studio of the historic Of cosmographic, -
and ho achieved his great task, which
was, in his own words, "to incorporate

tons by sea. +" lie declared geography

THREE CURIOUS PLANTS.
&c Cannibai Tree, Cripple Plant and
Vegetable Python.

Three of the most dangerous OF vege-
lative plants in the world are the can
nibal tree of Australia, the death or
grapple plant of South Africa and the
vegetable python of New Zealand.
The cannibal tree grows up in the
shape Of a huge pineapple and attains a
height Of IL feet. 1t has a series of
broad, boardlike leaves growing in a
fringe at the apex, which forcibly
bring 10 mind a gigantic Central
American agaye, and these boardlike
leaves, from 10 TO , feet in the smaller
specimens and from 10 to 20 feet IN the
larger, hang to the ground and are
easily strong enough to bear the weight
Of a man of l40 pounds or more. In the
ancient times this tree was worshiped
by the native savages under the name Of
the devil tree, part Of the interest
ing ceremony being the sacrifice of one
of their number TO its all too ready en-
brace. The victim TO be sacrificed was
driven up the leaves Of the tree to the
apex, and the instant the SC called pis-
ills of the monster were touched the
leaves would fly together like a trap,
crushing the life out of the intruder. In
this way the tree would hold its victim
until every particle Of flesh would dis
appear from his bones
The grapple plant is a PROSTATE herb
growing in South Africa. Its flowers
are purple and shaped like the English
foxglove. It's fruit has formidable hooks
which, by clinging to any passerby, is
conveyed to situations where its seed
may find suitable conditions for growth.
Sir John Lubbock says it has been known
to kill lions
The vegetable python, which is
known to the naturalist as the clusia or
fig, is the stranger of trees. The seeds
of the clusia, being provided with a
pulp and very pleasant to the tropical
birds which feed thereon, are carried
from tree to tree and deposited on the
branches Here termination begins.
The leafy stem slowly rises, while the
roots flow, as it were, down the trunk
until the soil is reached Here and there
they branch, changing their course ac-
cording to the direction of any obstruc-
tions met with Meanwhile from these
rootlets leafy branches have been de-
veloped, which, pushing themselves
through the canopy above, get into the
light and enormously accelerate their
growth.
Now a metamorphosis takes place,
for the hitherto soft aerial roots begin
to harden and spread wider and wider,
throwing out side branches, which flow
into and amalgamate with each other
until the whole tree trunk is bound in a
series of irregular living hoops. From
this time on it is "a struggle of life and
death between the forest giant and the
entwining clusia Like an athlete the
tree tries to expand and burst its fet-
tiers, causing the bark TO bulge between
every interlacing, but success and free
dom are not for the captive tree, for the
monster clusia has made its bands very
numerous and wide. Not allowed ex-
pansion, the tree soon withers and dies
and the stranger is soon expanded into
great bush, almost as large as the
mass of branches and foliage it has
effaced. 1t is truly tragedy i'll the
world of vegetation. Los Angeles
Herald.
