Making Old Potatoes New.

This is the way new potatoes are
manufactured in Paris: Old potatoes.
the cheapest and smallest that can be
purchased, are bought by the rafisto,
leurs Gle pommes de terre as they are
called, who carry their property to the
banks of the Seine, a good supply of
water being necessary. The potatoes
are put into tubs half filled with water;
then they are vigorously stirred about
by the feet and legs of the manufac.
turers, who roll up their trousers and
stamp on the raw potatoes until they
have not only completely rubbed off
their dark skins, but have also given
them that smooth and satin-like ap-
pearance which is so much appreciated
by gormands. They are then dried
neatly wrapped in paper and arranged
in small baskets. which are sold at the
marchands des comestibes for : francs
apiece. The oldest part of the whole
business is that the rahstOlcurs make
no secret of their trade

THE LAW
MISTAKE
BY DONALD ALLEN
Copyright, 1905, by Bcatrir Reade

Whenever man is sent to state
prison his record reaches the institu-
ton ahead of him. The deputy warden
gets it from the police who worked up
the case and arrested him and from the
published accounts of his trial 1t is
known before he arrives about what
sort of Il man he is, and he is some
times assigned to this or that depart
ment in advance. If he is recorded as
bad man. the deputy gets ready to lay
down the rules and regulations to him.
If otherwise, the official heaves sigh
of relief. Nowhere is bad man out
of place more than in Il penal inStitu-
ton where his example may infect
fifty others. and nowhere is Il good"
man given warmer welcome.
In broad daylight in Il western city
a stranger had entered Il big dry goods
store and held up the cashier. obtained
something like $1,000 and got into
the street. lie would have made good

A ShcrIAnn f.e,nI..

Richard Brinsley Sheridan always
maintained that the Duke of yelling
ton would succeed in Portugal, while
his friend General Tarleton had the
opinion that he would fail. The mat
ter was one of constant dispute be-
tween the two.
Tarleton, who had been wrong, grew
obstinate. Consequently, when the
news Of the retreat of the French at
Torres Vedas arrived in England Sheri-
dan, by way of a taunt, said:
"Well, Tarleton, are you on your
high horse still?"
"Oh, higher than ever" was the reply.
"If l was on a horse before, am on an
elephant now"
mo, no, my dear fellow" said the
wit; you were on an ass before, and
you are on a mule now"

Like a Garden Seed ned.

Ny experience in increasing my yield

1899 to thirty and one-quarter In 1901

Of wheat the ground must be worked

a proper fertilizer, gives good results,

The First Log Cabin In Kentucky.

The First Log Cabin In Kentucky.
Harrodsburg, the county seat of Mer-
Ger county, KY. was the scene in the
latter part of the eighteenth century of
some very exciting episodes in the his
tory of the early settlers in the young
state On June 16, 1774, Captain
James Harrod of Virginia, who had
brought party of settlers to the new
country, laid off a town site at Big
Spring camp, where they had erected
the first cabin ever built in Kentucky.
They allotted to each man half acre
lot and a ten acre out lot. The towns
first name was Harrodstown, but later
this was changed to Harrodsburg. A
clearing was made in the east end of
the town boundary and here it was
that John Hartman planted and raised
the first corn that was known to have
been grown in the state. Only few
weeks after this suspicious beginning
of the towns promoters four of Har-
rods men were ambushed by Indians.
Jared Cowan was killed. The other
men escaped, only one of them being
injured.

Why Corn psps When Hsltsa.

Why Corn Pops When Heated.
The question WHIST makes lndia1
corn pop when heated has been the
subject Of grave sciefsiht research,
the results of which have been con
sldered OF sufficient distinction to
warrant their publication in the Bull
letin Of the Bnssey institution, con.
Quoted BY Harvard university.
The general belief that the popping
OF corr Is due to the oil In the grain
has been disproved. Whole grains
we're leached with ether until the oil
was removed and then slowly dried
In the air, but these grains upon be
ing heated popped as readily as I'M
treated grains. Perfect dryness In
the grains facilitates popping.
Grains were cut In half crosswise,
lengthwise, and quartered and other
wise mutilated, but the inherent prop
erty Of popping was still retained.
The conclusion reached Ia that both
the structure Of the individual starch
grains IN the kernel and the tough
ness OF the restraining skins which
envelopes them all act to control Of
modify the manner In which the mois
ture in the starch grains when sud
denly heated ia converted into steam
OF such high tension that the expto
sive popping results. rtpturing both
