WEARING APPAREL.
The Tunic, the Togn and the Leather
Dress of the Ancicnts.

Ancient wearing apparel was not cut

the grace aud beauty of Greek drapery

perfect proportions of the figure be.
Meath The tunic worn by both Greeks
ard Romans was little, If at all, fitted
10 the wcarcr and when ungirdcd
hung in folds all round, while the toga
WAS little more than a sheet and was
worn I'm all sorts of ways, according 70
the prevailing fashion. The Jews of
old seem To have worn brceches. but
the rest of their clothing seems to
have been simply wrapped round them
for 10 was difficult for them To run or
even walk fast without srst "girdinc
trp their lons." The clothing OF th.
northern races was probably always
more Of fit than that Of the southern
for they used leather. which does not
lend itself TO simple drapLug. but oul
ancestors probably wore au almost
shapeless tunic beltcd at the waist.
Another striking difference Is found
in the gradual monopoly 10y women OF

masculine dress was by far the most
splendid and woman. holding an abso
lutoly subordinate social position, hac

As she has won her way To freedom
and equality she has annexed not only
the beautiful. but the extravagant ele
meuts of costume and left mao to con
tent himself with a condition OF color

BOILED POTATOES.
why They should Always lie Cooked
In Boiling Water.

Pare potatoes with a 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 us peeled into pan Of cold VA
ter to prevent discoforatiOn. Have
ready meanwhile Il kettle OF boiling
water and when the pccling 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
uaS usually suffice, but to test then
use Il Skewcr or fork, and when .thcl
can be pierced easily remove Mt once
from the fire pour off all the waite,
and set them on the back of the range
uncovered, to steam dry, assisting tha
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 foi
proof: Take two cups in each of which
has been put tcaSpoontul of ordinary
starch Pour over ono n quarter of n
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

the one with the cold water diSsolves

ago "hen the world was young, the great
spirit went about the earth making it
beautiful Whenever his feet touched the
ground lovely trees and flowers sprang up.
All summer the trees wore their short
green dresses. The, leaves were very happy
and they sang their sweet songs to the
breeze as It passed them. One day the
wind told them the time would soon come
when they would have to fall from the
trees and die. This made the leaves feel
very bad, but they tried to be bright and do
the best they could so as not to make the
mother trees unhappy. But at last the
time came, and they let go Of the twigs
and branches and huttered to the ground.
They lay perfectly quiet, not able to move
except as the wind would lift them.
The great spirit saw them and thought
they were so lovely that he did not want to
see them die, but live and be beautiful
forever, so he gave to each bright leaf a
pair Of wings and power TO ny, Then he
called them his birds" From the red and
! brown leaves OF the oak came the robins
and yellow birds from the yellow willow
leaves, and from bright maple leaves he
made the red birds; the brown leaves be-
came wrens, sparrows, and other brown
birds, This is why the birds love the trees
and always go TO them 10 build their nests
