Some thing New About the Potato.
One would imagine that science
could not furnish us with anything
new in our daily foods, but it is a
remarkable fact that our food pota
10 has not been sufficiently exam
med from n scientific stand point
while greater attention has been
paid to the varieties otpotatoes en-
ployed for industrial uses.
The French chemist Balland has
strlven to I'LL this void In an essay
presented to the Paris Academy of
Sciences, divulging many interest
ing characteristics of the potato
used for food. Aside from the skin,
which only represents small trac.
ton of the total weight, the potato
consists of three layers, well dis
tinguishable with the naked eye j!
thin slice Is held agalnstthe light
still more distinctly these three
ayers become visible it photo
graphed with the Roentgen rays
The strata are are different thick
nesses, which decrease toward the
interior. The outermost lay con
tains comparatively the most
starch, but less heterogeneous sub.
stances; with the innermost layer
the proportion is just the reverse.
The middle layer has 4 meat com
position between the two others.
The skin layer is the driest, while
the inside marrow contains consid-
cradle more water. On an average
potato contains three quarters of
its weight Of water, two tenths of
starch and one ifticth of nitrogen
our matters. BalIand has discov-
cred the important fact that the
food value of the potato is so much
greater, the more heterogeneous sub.
stances it contains, and so much
smaller, the richer it is in starch.

The Deadly Cigarette.

A dispatch from Washington says
that the large number of reflections
of volunteers has caused much
comment in the army medical
corps. However, the physicians
who have conducted the eXsmina.
tons say that, outside of the ranks
of cigarette smokers, there are even
fewer reflections than there were IN
the days of the civil war.
Among habjtual users of the Gig
arettes the reflections are about 81
per cent, DR.. Benjamin King OF
Philadelphia, who acted as an ex-
aiming surgeon during 1S6l-63 IN
New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio and
Illinois, saws that the average re.
iections during those years did not
exceed l3 per cent. He attributes
the large increase almost entirely
to the cigarette habit.
Il have been inspecting the
rspers in a number of cases under
be present recruiting ACT" said
Mr.. King, and | observe that most
o6the men who failed to pass the
iaedical examination have weak
hearts or a lack OF vitality neces
sary to make a good soldier.
Il have expected that the per-
centage of the reflections would be
greater now than in 1861, but did
not dream that it would be almost
three times as great. The exam
ming physicians with whom | have
talked have generally told me that
the excess of reflections is due to
the large humber of young men APP
piping for enlistment who have be-
come victims Of the cigarette habit"

COLORADO REPUBLICANS.
Nominate Henry WOlcott for
Governor and Adopt
Platform for the
Restoration of
Silver.

Denver, Col., Sept 15. The
Republican State convention to
day nominated a State ticket
headed by Henry h Wolcott, of
Denver, Il brother Of the Junior
Senator from Colorado, for Gov
ernor. The platform contains the
following:
The Republican party is and
bas always been Il bi.mctallic par
ty. The Republicans of Colorado
are errnestly devoted to the cause
of bi-metallism. it has no sym
pathy with mono mctallism, and
believes that the imposition of a
single standard upon the people of
this country would work irrepar-
able injuries. Its members be-
lieve that the proper place for
Republican bi-metallist is in the
ranks of the party and not out of
it. In the future, as in the past,
Republicans who represent CI-
orado ut the national capital will
be found working for the resto-
ration of silver. True bi-metaI
ism are necessary believers in
hard money-gold and silver as
the basis of our national circuIa

Hasty Words.

We are told that we ought to
think twice before we speak.
Sometimes we are advised if we
are feeling unkindly, to count ten
before we open our mouth. Yet
hasty words oft times fly from
our lips, in the moment of ex-
cited feeling, and before we have
time to think twice or count ten
the harm is done, the keen word
has flashed like dart into some
gentle heart. These hasty words
are spoken, too, most frequently
between those who love each
other. We control our speech
fairly we'll when it IS with strang-
ers or ordinary acquaintances We
are speaking; but with those we
love best we are less careful. We
let our worry or our weariness
make us irritable, and then we
utter the hasty words which, five
minutes afterward, we would give
all we have to recall. But such
words never can be recalled.
They may be forgiven, for love
forgives till seventy times seven
times; but the wounds, the scars,
remain.

out a word drew II pistol and shot
him twice, both shots lodging in

IRRESISTIBLE.
Inn possible TO Withstand
American Attack.

Hndon, August 1.-THE Manila cor
RESPONDENT, Of thu Daily Telegraph tele-
graphing Saturday, says:
Nothing could be more humane than
heAmericans' capture of the town. Gen.
Merritt and Admiral Dewey plan wss to
spare every object but the armed defenoes
and the trenches. Apparently the Ameri.
can losses were extremely small. The
Spanish entrenchments varied in point of
distance from two to four miles from
the centre of old Manila.
Defending this long line of at least
ten miles were not over and probably
under 5000 Spanish regular troops, volun-
teers and natives. About half that mum
ber were in hospital. The attacking force
numbered from TO- Oo0O to 90 900 natives
and 10, 600 Americans on shore and aboard
the fleet. In every respect the advantage
was on the side of the attack. The
American field guns threw heavier metal
and had longer range than the Spanish,
