An imperfect or warped understand

of ideas are patented every year IN
utter disregard of the processes OF

many Of these patents, far from max

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

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 a pan Of cold wa
ter to prevent discoloration. Have
ready meanwhile a kettle Of boiling
water and when the peeling process 10
complete take the potatoes from the
cold water and, covering them with
boiling sailed water, set them on the
range, covered, to boil Twenty MIN
utes usually suffice, but to test them
use q 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 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 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
he one with the cold water dissolves
into a soft paste The potato is largely
composed of starch, and from this
trial any one may draw his own con-
illusions. If you wish PUPPY, watery

The Broad Appeal OF

The Christmas Tree.

Margaret E Sangster in Woman's

Thousands OF children who have
very little Christmas cheer in their
tenement homes, whose life is hard
and who early have to work beyond
their strength, look forward to
Christmas eve and the Christmas
tree with longing they could not
put into words. Some of the moth
ers who read this page have dressed
a half.dozen dolls for their own
darlings; have they dressed one for
a mission school or a settlement, or
the daughter of poor Italian lab
orer, or for the little colored girl
whose mother takes in washing?
These children should not be left
out when Christmas comes to wake

Chile md Andes.

Two ways, Chill and Chile, Is the
name of our South American nelghbor
written. Chile is the Spanish and Chill
can form. The name is commonly ex-
planned as an old Peruvian word for
snow, the allusion being to the Andes.
But "Chil," has also been identified as
q native South American word, chill,
meaning cold, which would make II
really the "chilly" country. AS to the
meaning Of Andes" there is plenty or
choice. The word has been variously
interpreted as signifying the haunt OK
the tapir, the region of copper, the
home of the Antistri and the site OF
the "Andenes," Spanish gardens on inc
mountain terraces.
