Sweet Potatoes.

Certainly God might have maze
tuber better for SAVIOR and sustenance
than the sweet potato, but certainly
God never cid, remarks the Baltimore
American. If you doubt the state
ment, try cooking it after the various
manners here set down. Your skep-
ticism will be put to rout as surely as
you have palate:
Potato With Sausage.-Choose po-
tatoes as big as the fist. Wash, but
do not peel them; cut them in halves
and trim the bottom Of each half to
lie fat. Scoop hollow in the outside
of each, and fill it with rich, highly
seasoned sausage meat. Set the
halves in baking dish with a little
water in the bottom and bake at a
steady heat until thoroughly done.
Quail in Potatoes.-Take yams as
big as the two fists; cut off one end SO
they will stand erect, and the other so
as to form lid. Then scoop out the
middle until it will hold quail. The
birds must be drawn whole, washed,
wiped dry, rubbed over with salt and
pepper, and filled with the scooped
potato, mixed with plenty OF butter.
Cut the neck off close and set them
in the potatoes, breast downward. Fit
on the lids and paste a slip Of paper at
the joint. Set the potatoes upright
in baking dish and cook for three
hours. If the oven is very hot, pour
a little water in the dish as it goes in.
Send to the table in the baking dish,
but remove the lids and put lump OF
fresh butter upon each bird.
Potato Biscuit.-Boil, peel and
mash fine one quart of potatoes. Rub
them into one quart Of sifted -four
and one teaspoonful Of salt. Work in
next one teacupful Of lard; then add
enough sweet milk to make moder-
ately stiff dough. Roll out to quar-
ter Of an inch thick, cut into cakes
and bake in quick oven. Sprinkling
sugar over the top is to many palates
an improvement.
Potato Pone.-Add to the mashed
potatoes, instead of -four, sifted corn
meal; melt the lard and wet with boil
ing water. Leave the dough very
stiff; then break into it, one at time,
two fresh eggs. Work them we'll
through the mass. Take it up by
small handfuls, toss from one hand
to the Other and fatten them lightly
around the sides of hot baking pan,
very we'll creased. Bake quickly
until quick brown crust forms on
top and bottom.
Fried Potatoes-Wash we'll and cut
in slices d quarter Of an inch thick;
drop them in boiling fat and fry to a
light brown on both sides. Take out
with fork and salt very lightly with
fine salt, then quickly with powdered
sugar. Pile pyramid-wise on hot
dish and serve at once.
Potato Gloria.-Boil, peel and cut
in slices lengthwise quart Of pota-
toes. Sprinkle the bottom of bak-
ing dish thickly with sugar; dot the
sugar with bits Of butter and shred
lemon peel; then add layer Of sliced
potatoes. Cover them with sugar,
butter and peel--and repeat the lay
ers until the dish is within an inch Of
the top. The last layer ought to be
sugar and extra thick. Now pour in
enough sweet wine to come to the top
most layer; set the dish in hot oven
for 10 minutes, and serve very hot.
If wine is disapproved, milk, cream or
even water may take its place.

Unappreciated.

Perhaps few experiences of life are
harder to bear than when an appeal to
another out of the fullness of ones
heart is received with an utter lack Of
sympathy. Such a situation is por-
trayed by the biographer Of the Rev.
S. G. Malan.
A dishonest gardener had received
notice of discharge, and after an un-
successful attempt to vindicate his
character by plausible platitudes, said
mournfully to the vicar:
"Ah, sir, you will miss me before
I be gone half an hour!''
"I shan mind that, answered Mr..
Malan, cheerfully, eff 1 don't miss
anything else !"

Read His Own Obituary.

Fred Doe. who was with the LIST
Maine at Chickamauga. arrived at his
home in this city. yesterday afternoon
on the 3 O'Clock train. Mr.. Doe has
several times been reported dead hav-
ing been sick with typhoid. One Of the
things he holds most dear is a paper
containing his obituary which was
sent to him by a friend. He was in
the hospital for several weeks, having
been sick with typhoid. When he ar
rived in this city he was looking re-
markably well, considering what he
has been >through. He attributed the
cause of a great deal of sickness
among the men to the water in the
camp. The water he said was simply
fearful, being but little better than
that to be found in any mud puddle.
Since his arrival in this city he has
held miniature receptions, his friends.
having given him a warm welcome
home.

More Or Less Damage Caused.

An unusually heavy shower passed
over this city. yesterday afternoon.
causing more or less damage. In front
OF Mayor AbbOtt's house on Spring
street deep hole was washed out in
the middle of the road the sewers not
being able to take of the unusual
amount of water that fell in so short
a time. Main street in the business
section was at one time a miniature
river but almost no damage was done,
the sewer system taking care Of the
water in good shape.
The only damage done on the upper
end Of Main street was to the pave
ments. Here the water undermined the
paving stones In places causing them
to settle slightly in one or two places.
Near the station the water was SO
deep at one time that 1t came half way
to the hubs Of the teams. AS near as
can be learned no damage was done W
lightning.

Hallowell is certainly one Of the
favored cities, in being able to claim.

One more donation has been added

Mr.. Benjamin Vaughn has presented
the city. through Miss Elizabeth G..
Otis. president the Improvement
Society. $500 to be expended for two
drinking fountains. one to be placed

junction of Vaughn and Water streets.
1t seems that nd Offering could be
more acceptable, as 1t supplies a long
felt need and will be not only useful
but ornamental. for which the public
is greatly indebted to our honored
benefactor.

Defective cAlmnsy the Cause.

After beifg In session for half an
hour. last evening, the municipal ofii-
GERS arrived at the conclusion that the
fire in the house Of Joseph LacOmb.
which occurred. last Saturday. was
caused by a defective chimney. Mr..
and Mrs. Lacomb were examined and
gave the story substantially as has be-
fore been told. that the fire occurred
while they were away In the milk
! One of the neighbors who was called
In as a witness testified that when she
arrived the children, who had been
left alone We're crying for help. At that
time the house was filed with smoke.
From the location of the funnel that
has been before mentioned, the NUM-
cipal officers came to the conclusion
that the fire was caused by defec-
tive chimney. Since the fire countless
stories have been In circulation in re-
gard to the origin Of the fire.
The conclusion arrived at, last even
ing. in regard to the fires origin seems
to those conversant with the facts of
the case to be right.

HAS this town firebug?" Is common
question now. 1t is generally believed
that the freight house IRE was set by
some unknown person. The generally
accepted theory Is that goods were stolen
and the fire was started either accident
ally or purposely by the thieves. It is
also quite well known that the fire in the
Donnelly storehouse was started by some
person. Sunday night. came the two
small burglaries. These were not the
work of professionals but more like the
trail of a firebug. Suspicious characters
have been seen prowling around at late
hours. both by the night watches and
others. Several are keeping watch abou.
their buildings. Tuesday night. there
was a small blaze discovered. which was
evidently set. Randall York. who lives
on Elm street. was aroused by smoke in
his kitchen. On investigation he found
thar shavings back Of the house had been
saturated with kerosene and a lively blaze
was in progress. This was at about $50
p. NJ. About a week ago another attempt
was made to burn the same building.
Both fires were fortunately discovered
betjre any damage had been done.
