BOILED POTATOES.
why They Should Always BE Cooked
In Boiling Water.


Pare potatoes with 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 Il pan of cold wa
ter to prevent discoloratlon. Have;
ready meanwhile 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 min
utes usually suffice, but to test them
use a 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 Il slight shak-
ing of the kettle.
If one asks the reason why potatoes
should always be cooked in boiling wa
ter try the following experiment for
proof Take two cups, in each of which
has been put teaspoOnful of ordinary
starch. Pour over one Il 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, II 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 con-
clusions. If you wish pulpy, watery
potato use cold water, but if a dry,
mealy, snowy ball that would delight
the heart of Epicurus himself Away

WEARING APPAREL.
The Tunic, the Toea and the Leather
Dress of the Ancients.

Dress of the Ancients.
Ancient wearing apparel was not cut
to fit as is our modern clothing. Hav-
ing no definite shape of its own, it did
not disguise the wearers figure, and
the grace and beauty of Greek drapery
are dependent almost entirely on the
perfect proportions of the figure be-
meath. The tunic worn by both Greeks
anal Romans was little, If at all, fitted
to the wearer and when ungirded
hung in folds all round, while the toga
was little more than sheet and was
worn in all sorts Of ways, according to
the prevailing fashion. The Jews OF
old seem to have worn breeches, but
the rest of their clothing seems to
have been simply wrapped round them,
for 1t was difficult for them to run or
even walk fast without first 'girding
up their loins." The clothing of the
northern races was probably always
more of q fit than that Of the southern,
for they used leather, which does not,
lend itself to simple draping but -
ancestors probably wore an p -,
shapeless tunic belted at the waist.
Another striking difference is found
in the gradual monopoly by women Of
the ornamental element in dress Once
masculine dress was by far the most
splendid, and woman, holding an abso-
lutely subordinate social position, had
to content herself with humber attire
As she has won her way to freedom
and equality she has annexed not only
the beautiful, but the extravagant ele-
ments of costume and left man to con-
tent himself with a condition of color
less utility.

MUSIC STRINGS.

zone of the most generally accepted
but mistaken ideas that are entertained
by the people of this country" said a;
travelling representative of foreign
mandatory of gut strings, sis that;
strings used on musical instruments
are manufactured from catgut. If that
were true the cats in this world would
have been exterminated many years
ago in supplying the market with ma
terial for musical instrument strings.
"The fact Is that they are manufac-
tured from the intestines Of sheep, and
In obtaining enough raw material even
from these animals the manufacturers
at times find difficulty.
"The only string made from the in
testines Of the feline is that used for
surgical purposes - for sewing up
wounds. One would be amazed to
know that there are millions OF mu-
sical instrument strings used in North
America alone, and just think where
the Tables would be If they had to
supply the consumption.
Another amazing thing is that there
are over 700 different grades Of musical
instrument strings. The demand for
strings in North America is increasing
every year, especially in the south and
in Mexico. There are more guitar
strings sold in Mexico than any other
kind, but through the south the banjo
string is still popular, despite the fact
that every year has marked Il sligLs out
gradual falling off in the demand."-

"GO WHERE THE CROWDS GO, AND SEE IF YOU
 DON'T LAND AT THE MAIN.'

Act second occurs at the sum- mer home of Punch. where several people have installed themselves thinking that Punch and his bride have gone to Paris, but the sudden appearance of the bridal couple causes the utmost dismay among the usurpers and the subterfuges resorted to by them and the many ludicrous complications which ensue until the final denouement, bring forth screams of laughter continual ly throughout the entire action of the play. Besides this clevegtN wrought plot and it's thoroughly en. joyable enactment by the clever ap- lists assisting Mr. Dunn in the iol- litication there are many charming musical numbers, pretty dances, de- hghtfu stage pictures and gigantic ensemble numbers, to say nothing of the numerous new funny top ical songs and parodies sung by Mir. Dunn in his inimitable way.

The first act takes place at a fash ionable mountain resort in the Adj rondacks, where Punch Swift (Ar- thur Dunn) the Little Joker, bursts in upon the blase summer guests as a new arrival from the European watering places He falls in love inn mediately with charming girl whose father, now dead, has be- queathed her legacy of $l ,OO0,- 900 with the provision, curious as
 it may be, that she marry man at least six feet in height. This of course is a serious drawback for Punch, who is really but three feet and four inches tall, but he over comes this difficulty by the aid of quack doctor who has discovered a chemical which will bring about the desired height He suddenly grows to the required height and is mar ried at once. The closing of the act shows the departure of the bride and bridegroom on their honey moon.
