Boiled Potatoes.
New York Commercial,

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 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 sailed 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, assisting that process occasionally
by 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, a compact
mass, while the one with the cold
water dissolves 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 dry, mealy, snowy ball that
would delight the heart of Epicurus
himself, always use boiling water.

Some Uses for Coal OIL.

Shave one.half bar of common soap
into two quarts of water; add one
tablespoonful coal oil, and let the
mixture boil from three to five min
utes. Cool and set away for future
use. A teaspoonful of this prepare
ton in washpan of water will cleanse
windows, lamp-chimneys, paint and
the like beautifully, and is much more
pleasant to use than few drops of oil
alone in the water, as recommended
by some. A little stronger solution
will discourage plant lice and scale on
house plants to great extent, and re-
peated thorough washings of the in
fected plant will cause the little pest
to disappear.
Coil oil will also Danish the crawl

Organized in Spokane last winter
the Brotherhood of the Cooperative
Commonwealth is now a fourishing
organization, and is the one that first
held out inducements to Eugene V.
Debs to locate his cooperative colony
in this State. For months the ma
tional union now in session in Chicago,
has been in correspondence with Debs,
the national organizer, looking to
effecting the colonization of large
areas of land in this State. At the
head of the local union is William E.
Richardson, judge of the Superior
Court of Spokane and Stevens coun-
ties, who, in an interview lately stated
his faith in the plan, and declared
that it can not fail. Debs will be at
Wallace, Idaho, July IL, the an
niversary of the great Occur d'Alene
strike, to participate in the annual
celebration of that date. From there
he will 60 to Spokane to consult
with the local union on the colony.
The local union has conducted its
affairs quietly and not until now was
its existence known.

The Breakfast Table Toilet.

It's only little thing in the days
doings, but it tells. The woman who
presides at the breakfast table, neat,
fresh, and rosy, is fulfilling part of her
mission in life-her lord is as much
stimulated by her presence as the fra
grant cup of Mocha which she dis
penses, and though seemingly absorbed
in his newspaper as he sips his favor
tie beverage, in reality he sees every
detail of the dainty toilet, knowing
that it was made for his eyes alone,
and, manlike, approaching it all the
more for that very reason!

Pertaining Clothes.

Of all the various perfumes, from
altar of roses at dollar drop to the
crudest musk with which the contest
ants at a darkey cake-walk besprinkle
themselves, there is none that holds
its own as does a good violet scent.
The most satisfactory result when u.s.
ing perfumes is to have a person look
to see where one has pinned a bunch
OF violets, or perhaps, when the odor
is still more subtle, cast the eye over
the room for the vase OF roses, or Won
ders if it is mignonette and sweet peas.
To those who desire to bring into
company with them such sweet sug-
gestions, clothing, under and outer,
must be laid away in perfumed drawers
and boxes. For the busy woman, who
would fain cling to the dainty ways of
her more leisurely sisters, there is
little secret given willingly to them by
one of their number. This is nothing
more than the saturation of bits
of pumice stone with ones favor
lite perfume and placing these among
the clothes. Violet made as sweet as
freshly picked blossoms can be had by
using the following formula: Half
an ounce of whole orris root and two
ounces of pure alcohol. Find a drug
gist in whom you have confidence /;
mind that the orris ROOTS genuine and
fresh. Pound it we'll, break in small
bits, and allow it to stand in the alco-
hol for several days. If it is not as
strong as desired add more root.

Heavy Duties ON Linens.

The following are some Of the COM
ments Of q man we'll acquainted with
linens and The linen industry upon the
senate doctored Dingley bill:
The proposed duties on linen goods
under the amended Dinlgey bill ere
heavier than ever, although it has been
claimed that the senate had reduced
rates. These goods paid for many years
IS per cent and yielded steady reve-
nue. to the government. Tho rates now
proposed vary from 80 to 100 per cent,
and the burden falls heaviest on low
and medium goods, which are chiefly
used IN the homes Of the poorer people.
A cheap tablecloth now selling at re-
tail at % cents per yard will have to be
sold at 3716 cents to 40 cents II the
quality be kept up.
Medium linen for children's summer
blouses will be assessed 99h per cent,
and the retail price will have to 60 up
accordingly.
Linen forms the raw material for
many American industries, as Innings
for clothing and other purposes where
strength and durability are required.
Such goods will DO advanced 30 to 80
per cent.
1t is claimed that this advance is neo-
essary for revenue, but the effect will be
that the people will in many cases substi-
tute something cheaper, and thus be de-
prived of this useful fabric, and the reve.
nue. will be correspondingly diminished.
1t is said that linen goods can be made
here, but this has beCn tried again and
again, and except in the case Of few
low crashes has been q failure, owing to
the climate and other difficulties, but
even if they could DO made here the
rates are unnecessarily oppressive. The
entire cost Of weaving linen goods in
Europe is about ~ to 10 per cent the
selling price of the article here, and in
America the cost should not be at the
very outside more than double this per-
oentage, 80 that, even if Republican
theories be true, protection Of So per
cent should be ample to allow for high
er wages and extra profits for our man
ufacturers.

leaving the unfortunate laborer and
manufacturer to face the difficulties of
the situation as best they can. The Ia
borer probably. having been brought
here from Europe (for labor is on the
free list), with unreasonable expecta-
tions, will be left to Join the army Of
disappointment and discomfort Why
should these exorbitantly high rates be
assessed on an article moro or less in
use in every household in the land, and
the cost Of living 80 much increased in
these days Of keen competition and
small profits? Why should the plain peo-
pie be taxed to put more money in tho
pockets Of the rich? If the wealthy
manufacturers want to make expert
ments, let them do so at their own cost,
not tax the poor for that purpose

EDIS0N'S HOME LIFE.

Every one knows Edison OF the lab
Oratorv, the wizard who docs without
food and sleep. who can work forty
eight hours AT a stretch and perform
miracles. But Edison in his domestic
role il an unknown character to the
public, which Is probably due to the
fact that bis domestic lie Is limited to
one day IN the week or tiity-two i'll the
year. a late Sunday afternoon Mr.. Ed
ison was seen at his charming home
at Llewellyn Park, n. j., while he
chatted, smoked innumerable cigars,
and carefully put the burnt matches
back into the box with the unlighted
ones. An inquiring glance brought
out the delightfully."- ingenious re-
mark
"Shc won't let me drop 'em round"
Every room in the beautiful Edison
home hears evidence OF the same Or
der and precision with which Mr.. Edi-
son seems SO firmly to have impressed
himself There is not n book or a
paper out of its place, even in the
library.
Mr.. Edison's scientific library, which
is the largest in the country, is in his
laboratory, about five minutes walk
from the house. The home library,
however, is we'll stocked with litera-
ture, books On chemistry being in the
majority. AS Mr.. Edison leaves home

fast and does not return till late at
night, the home library is patronized
only on Sunday, which he calls "my

consist ?"
al smoke cigars, read books on
chemistry and sometimes 60 in for a
regular Observation-Disclosures novel,"
He was asked who was his favorite
author and replied:
"Gaboriau. I am sorry he is dead.
I have read all his books over and
over again and would like to read
some more"
1t is easy to understand Mr.. Edison's
preference for Gaboriau, who starts
out with a mystery and patiently
threshes it out till all is m ade clear in
the last chapter. Mr.. Edison has all
his life been threshing out mysteries
and he cannot get away from tn 9 idea
even when he reads for recreation.
Besides Gaboriau he is very fond of
Edgar Allen Poe and Jules Verne. He
does not care for poetry, finding all
the poetry he wants in Faraday,
Tyndall and Huxley.
His regular allowance of cigars
ranges from ten to twenty day, and
these are the strongest that can be
procured.
doesn't excessive smoking hurt

"No, I never have had sign of
nervousness. If I found it hurt me,
would give up tobacco altogether"
An inquiry of Mr.. Edison's work

fession

to - p. m, and sometimes longer. l

but I have never been able to get

Porque ha habido cambio de admi-

Porque es necesario que los ciuda-
danoS de Nuevo Mexico tengan algun
privilegio en- dicha instruction.
Porque es un disparate que dirija la

mayoria del pueblo del Territorio.
Porque el superintendent es solda-
do viejo Sc muestra muy opuesto a

que servieron con 81 en- e ejercIto,
Porque la penitenciaria Sc ha con-

ritorio.
Porquc el actual superintendent ha
estado en- el puesto tempo suhciente
para dar d conocer que sus principles
politicos son engahar d los dos partidos
por mantenerse en- el candeero.
Porque no es justo que la peniten-
ciaria continue siendo una maquna
politica, mayormente en- oposicion al
partido que esta arrba,
Porque es necesario que haya igual-
dad en- ell tratamiento de prisioneros y
que no sc muestren prelerencias.
Porque siendo indispensable el ac-
tual superintendent, es mucho mas
indispensable que salgan a luz las
transacciones ocuuidas por los tiltimos
tres amos en- la penitenciaria.
Porque va Sc han nombrado jueces
nuevos y estos sostendran cualquier
camblo cue Sc le antoie al gobernador
otero, en- el manejo de dicha institu-
ci6n.
Y en- fin, porque John S. Clark es
tan ciudadano como Bergman, tan
competente como Bergman, Glen mil
veces mas republicano que Bergman,
y no es enemigo del pueblo mexicano
como Belgmann, y consecuencia de
este es sin comparaci6n mas acreedor
al puesto que Bergmann.
