POTATO CURE.
How Pat Claimed to Cure His Rheu-
matism.


Among the many curiosities pulled
out of an Irishman's pocket one day
in vain search for coin was a lit
tie black object that looked like a
hard, round piece of agate. A friend
expressed astonishment at the mans
carrying such thing in his pocket
and asked him why he did it,
"Why, man alive" Pat exclaimed,
that is not stone, but just a potato,
and, sure, 1 carry it with me to cure
me rheumatics. / have two about me"
said Pat, diving down into his other
pocket and bringing forth the mate of
the first curious looking potato, as
Pat swore it was.
Upon investigation it was found that
Pat had much method in his madness.
Potatoes among old country people
have been looked upon for many years
as a preventive of rheumatism. Small,
round, smooth potatoes are chosen,
and are put in each pocket of the trou-
sers. Soon the potatoes become black,
but they never rot; they seem to be
petrifed, and it is claimed they take
the poison of the disease out of the
system.
At any rate, the remedy is simple
one and well worth a trial

WHICH FOOT.
Why We Cannot Walk in Straight
Line.

If you will take any pavement says
semitic paper, that is clear OF other
pedestrians, so that there shall be no
other interference and walk briskly in
the center, you will End that before you
have gone hundred yards you Will
have veered very much to one side.
You must not make any conscious eff
fort, of course, to keep the center, or
you may do it; and if you will only
think of something and endeavor to
walk naturally, it is hundred to one
you cannot keep a direct line.
The explanation of this lies in the
popularity, of one foot to walk faster
than the other. Or, to be more correct,
perhaps it should be said that one leg
takes a longer stride than the other,
and this, combined with the quicker
movement, causes one to walk more to
one side than the other.

QUEENS FRUIT.

Most of the fruit consumed in Queen
Victoria's household is grown in the
royal gardens at Windsor. Some sta
tistics published not long since show
that the gardens supply in one year no
fewer than 10000 dessert apples, be-
sides 400 bushels of eating apples of
commoner kind. The grapes produced
in one season weigh two tons and a
half, the strawberries a ton and a quar-
ter, and red and white currents a ton
and the cherries half a ton.

The horrible keenness of our suffer-
ing must not harden our hearts Not
only our name. but we ourselves, must
come out of this horrible experience
such as we were before we We're
brought into it. Strong in our con-
sciences, we must rise above all else,
without murmurs or complaints, as
martyrs suffer who have hearts, and
must simply do their duty. This
duty, for me, is to live to the best of
my power; for you all it is to demand
light, appealing for helping hands
everywhere. The full and complete
light must shine, and all for France
whether l live or die, for, like Ban
quo's ghost, l shall come out of my
grave and cry to you all with my
whole soul, courage and courage! and

In 1895,

Oh, the scorn around my name,
around my person; how l suffer from
it! rem cannot express such torture.
1 ask myself how man who has real
ly forfeited his honor can continue to
live. AS for me, l cannot live without
my honor To say that the innocent
should and can live is. "a commonplace
of utter futility. l once said it and
believed it; today, having experienced
the thing itself, declare that it is inn
possible, if one has a heart. Life is
admissible only when one can lift his
head and look the world in the face;
otherwise there is for him only death.
TO live simply for the sake of ones
life is low cowardice. l know indeed
that you think the same; any other

TO BOIL CORN.

'tIhis is the season when one of the
BEST vegetables we have is spoiled by ig-
norance and over cooking. There Is
nothing SO sweet, delicate and delicious
as an ear of corn properly cooked, and
there Is nothing more tRsteless ana I'M
palatable than corn when 1t has been
boiled half an hour and prehaps left soa k
ing in water,
Don't cook your corn more than eight
or ten minutes. Put it in a good-sizsd
boiler whioh contains just as little water
as can be kspt from boiling away in the
time 1t takes to cook the corn. Place the
corn in crosswise-any way SO that it will
not be packed soiidly together, but will
leave room for the steam to circulate
about each ear. Put a tight cover on the
kettls and a clean towel over that, il
necessary to keep In the steam.

that they try to cock the cob. That Ii

corn to be had than that freah from
