TO BOIL A POTATO.
Even This Prosaic Culinary Work Has
Right and Wrong Way.
From the Philadelphia Times.

From the Philadelphia Times.
Even in so simple a matter as the
boiling of a potato there is a right and
a wrong way, which followed out lead
to results as adverse as the methods of
preparation. The careless cook, after
a process which she calls "parin' -
during which she gouges and slashes
and robs the poor esculent of much of
its nutritious elements-puts it in a
kettle of cold water, because that is
handiest, sets it over the fire and leaves
it to chance whether it boils dry and
escapes from it's martyrdom a scared
and Smoky accessory of dinner or cooks
until a solder, pasty mess of frag-
ments that would tax the somewhat
vitiated taste of a mammiferous quad
ruped of the genus capra. That. need
less to say, is the wrong way and this
is the right
Pare the potatoes with a sharp vege-
table 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 a pan
of cold water to prevent discoloration.
Have ready meanwhile, a kettle of
boiling water, and when the peeling
process is complete take the potatoes
from the cold water, and covering them
with boiling salted water, set them on
the range, covered, to boil. Twenty
minutes will usually suffice, but to test
them use skewer or fork, and when
they can be pierced easily remove at
once from the fire, pour off all the
water and set them on the back of the
range, uncovered, to steam dry, assist
ing that process occasionally by a
slight shaking of the kettle.
If one asks the reason why potatoes
should always be cooked in boiling
water, try the following experiment for
| proof: Take two cups,in each Of which
| has been put teaspoonful of ordinary
| starch. Pour over one a quarter of
| 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, compact mass, while
| the one with the cold water dissoives
into soft paste. The potato is largely
| composed of starch, and from this trial
| any one may draw his own conclusions
If you wish a 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.
To serve boiled potato mashed, add
| to every quart of the mashed potato
two tablespoonfuls of butter, a tea
| spoonful of salt, one-half of a salt
| spoonful of pepper. and hot cream or
milk to moisten. Then beat until light.
white, and creamy, and serve piled
lightly on a dish, but never packed
down and smoothed over, as was the
wont of our grandmothers.

UGLY STABBiNG AFFRAY.
Result Of a Game of Ball in which a
Reg Beer Figured.

Shamollin, July PA probably fatal
stabbing affray occurred near Coal
Run Monday evening. George Harris,
assessor of Coal township and a prom
inent Republican worker, receiving
knife thrust a few inches deep below
the heart, Logan Miller, aged Is years,
welding the weapon.
Married and single men had played
ball for a keg of beer and were en-
ioying themselves when George Mil
ler father of Logan, and Al. Dillon,
returning from work, stopped, and
Miller's dinner can was sent through
the crowd to George Harris, who was
told that the two men wanted drink
Young Miller objected and tried to car
ry the kcg to a distant point. Harris
pushed him gsi6" and Miller thrust his
knife into Harris. 1TFlsf
George Miller, learning that his son
was in a fight, broke through the crowd
to attack Harris who knocked him
down. Harris then discovered blood
nOZing from his body. Young Miller
fled. Harris was taken home to Coal
Run, and DR.. Hickey, who was pass
ing at the time, was called. The con-
dtion of Harris is critical. He is very
popular in the township, and people are
greatly exercised over the affair.

LONG LIFE TO THE NEW WOMAN
Approves Modern Diet, Exercise and
Loose Clothing for Women.

DR.. Edward P. Davis by his attract
i've subject, THE New Woman" gath
cred a large and interested audience
yesterday afternoon at the Acorn club,
1924 Walnut street, says the Philadel-

leave his audience in the dark as to
how he regarded his subject. He is un-
qualifiedly in favor of the up-to-d date,
progressive woman.
THE new woman has physical ad-
vantages her sister of an older genera
ton never had" he said, land by us
ing them she has prolonged her life
by years. Then she has revolutionized
cooking, and done more good to hu-

leges. She has let the soup pot take
the place of the frying pan, and dys-
peptics are disappearing. She takes
exercise. and she wears loose clothing,
too, if she is a really sensible new wo-
man." The doctor did not think that
the bars of delicacy had been let down
by this exercising. but thought that
If anything woman now had greater
sensibility than her older, more
squeamish, but not more delicate sister
of the last generation.

THE MARKETS.
Wall Street Review.

New York, July 27.-The anthracite
coal shares advanced considerably ON
buying by interests always identified
in the movements of the coal stocks.
Otherwise the market sustained slight
losses and closed steady. Local specu-
lators liquidated considerably today,
but commission house purchases about
equallzed such sales, rendering the
market extremely irregular. The liq-
uidation in industrial stocks rather
unsettled the list. The gilt-edged Sc
curities declined considerably. Profess
sional traders hammered the grangers,
but pool buying subsequently caused
a practically complete rally.
The total sales of the day were 1893, 400
