Bombay, Jan. 25.-Fifty doctors In the
India medical service Will arrive mere
shortly. There are now 1000 people en-
gagged i'm cleansing and purifying the
town. The panic here is as great as
ever. The appalling suddenness or
death from the plague drives the ma
tiyes wild with fear. No further cases
have occurred at the government house,
owing to the speedy burning OF the
servants quarters, and this is taken as
a strong argument I'm favor of similar
measures on a large scale.

been astounded by the brilliancy of the
flash of the insurgent steel before his
very eyes. At all events eighteen Of
his special escort of guides, a corps of
Cuban negroes who enjoy the dstinc-
tion of guarding the person of the cap

have arrived here seriously wounded
with machete thrusts. Several have

clear that early on Tuesday morning

THE POTATOES NUTRIENT.
The Tuber Is Richest when Cooked
with the skin On.

The irish cotter, who has for hund-
reds Of years popped his potatoes into
boiling water with their Jackets on, is
an unconscious scientist, and is pre-
pairing his homcly meal upon the most
approved hygienic and dietetic prinCip-
les, and obtaining the highest possible
degree of nutriment
Experiments made by the Agricultur-
al Department show that potatoes
peeled and soaked before boiling lose
from as to 5S per cent. of nitroEenous
matter, % per cent. of albuminOids and
IS per cent. of mineral matters; when
peeled, placed at once in cold water and
raised to a boil the loss of nitrogenous
matter was Is per cent, of which al
buminoids form nearly half, and 10 per
cent. of mineral matters; when peeled
and thrown into boiling water the lat
ter losses are reduced one-half and
when unpeeled and placed in boiling
water the loss was but l per cent OF
nitrOgenous and 3 per cent. of mineral
matter, the difference in nutrtive val
ues between a bushel of potatoes peeled
and soaked and a bushel boiled in the
Irish fashion being equal to a pound
of sirloin steak. The character of the
water used made no difference in the
nulfltlNe quantities.
a series of experiments with carrots
embraced the same varieties of waters
in which, both cold and boiling, the
vegetables were placed. after being cut
into fine, medium sized and large pieces
The quality of water made no differ
enCe in the results, hut the loss of nu-
tritive matter was smallest in the large
pieces, the small pieces showing loss
of 40 per cent. Of nitrogen and 20 of
sugar equal to a pound of sugar per
bushel the loss in the large pieces
being; Nitrogen, 20, and sugar Is per
cent, the total nutritive loss being in
the small pieces, so, and on the large,
20 per cent.
Other experiments with Cabhages
showed that a large part of the nutri-
! tive elements of this vegetable is eX-
traCted by boiling, which may account
| for the fondncss of the European peas
| antry and the southern negro for cab
| bage soup or pot liquor OF the IL
| pounds of dry matter contained in 10C
! pounds of raw cabbage, from l-2 to
3 pounds are lost in cooking, a loss

| water in which it is boiled is also used.
The digestibilty of eggs was also in
quired into. They were boiled for >, ),

ranging from $50 to - degrees. the

seems probable that the method OF

| affect the total digestibility.

WHEAT AGAIN

The Highest Price Reached Since
August, 1891.
DECEMBER WHEAT REACHES slO9
Big Furry in the Chicago Pit--Many
a sudden Backward slide Marks
the Rise--January inds Up with
Gam Of Cents and May with an
Advance of rs Cents Bushel.

Chicago, Dec. 9.--Not since August.
1891, has any months delivery of wheat
sold as high as December did today.
1t rose from $l.O1la at the opening to
$l.09, but in most irregular fashion. 1t
had many sudden backward slide,
but in the end rested at $1.07 or the
not inconsiderable Improvement of
6slc. for the day. January was IL good
second, winding up with a gain of Sc.
May was less demonstrative in its bull
ishness. Its advance was 17sC. a hushel.
Wheat was very nervous at the start.
shorts were evidently alarmed by the
announcement that the bull clique had
made arrangements to ship by rail all
the wheat delivered them on December
contracts and had also made advan-
tageous storage contracts and in the
earliest consequence was there a host
of buying orders for December at the
opening, mostly of moderate lots, but
they had the same effect on the al
ready strained market as if they were
for millions. There was no wheat for
sale, December closed yesterday
$l.00L, but opening bids today ranged
all the way from $l.01l2 to $1.04, and
even at the top there was scarcely
bushel to be had. This preCipitated a
scramble among the shorts, not in De-
Ccmber alone, but in January and May
also. Before wheat came out $l05 was
offered for December. Then came a
lull which lasted for an hour. Brokers
operating for the bull clique attempt
ed to stem the tide, but probably from
| 100000 to 900 bushels was taken be-
| fore a reaction occurred. December
declined to $l.03i2. but by 1l.45 had
| again risen to sl.O5. Then came the
| storm. Within five minutes, and amid
a whirl of excitement, December was
| hid up to $1.OS. 1t reacted with a jerk
| To $l.06la, then up again without a stop
TO $.O9, the highest point bid for wheat
in this market for six years. Probably
as much wheat was sold on this ad-
| vance as on the earlier one.
After that the market was uuieter.
| January shorts in the meantime had
| been idle. That month opened strong
| at from % to 94 ana it sold as high as
| ~ during the excitement, an advance
of so since yesterday 1t was figured
that the influence controlling Decem-
Der also applied to January, and shorts
! got under cover as quickly as they
| could. May was also very strong,
| though it did not have the same pan
| iCky appearance of other options. 1t
| opened at 9la9l4c., as compared with
| yesterdays closing prices of 90iaa
9O@sc., and had advanced by noon to
| 92@sa92&C. If the market at the OPEN
ing had been left as usual to take its
| imprint from those things that actual
| ly affect it, a decline would in all prob
| ability have occurred.

headquarters at Murfreesboro, Tenn.
one evening we received orders to re-
turn Immediately to town, and while
packing up soldier found a box Of
papers and reported the find. Inves-
tigation showed them to be Quarter
master Igo's regimental accounts, and
instructions were given to take them
along and deliver them to him the first
opportunity. This occurred at Muir
freesboro, and the box of papers was
returned. on receiving them Igo broke
out:
well, this beats thunder! I've been
losing these papers all over the state
of Tennessee, and some blamed fool
invariably finds them and brings them
back. How are my accounts with the
government ever to he settled If ! can't
certify that the papers are lost?'
"It was reported afterward that the
government had imperatively called
upon Igo to settle up, and in answer
he had boxed up all his papers and for
warded them to Washington with a
letter stating that these were all the
documents, and, as the department had
plenty of clerks. they could settle the
accounts at their leisure to suit them
selves"
