GAVE THE POTATO WATER.


The water in which pared potatoes
have been boiled should never be
wasted, as it contains much of the
most nutritious part of the potato. but
1t is usually thrown away, except
when used for bread. To make
delicious, wholesome gravy when
milk is scarce lift out the potatoes
carefully with fork. Setting the dish
in the oven to dry the potatoes and
keep them warm. Thicker the potato
water with -four and season with salt
and butter. For savory, nOurishing
soup, mash few potatoes and put
them back into the water in which
they were boiled, season with onion,
celery salt, or the water in which
celery tops have been boiled, and add
cream or milk and butter This is one
of the most palatable and economical
soups that can be made. If the soup
is not wanted Immediately the potato
water can be saved for the next meal
or until the next day. or the soup can
be made at once, as it is equally good
warmed up for lateral meal.

the other in the abdomen. After a

seemed to be his death agony the lion
lay motionless. Salmon approached
and the lion pounced upon him, and

A moment after he has climbed out
and hung 1t on the end of the main

revolver and standing amidship, the
American calls out to the ladies below

an exhibition of craftsmanship that
causes the crew to cheer. He smashes

through potatoes tossed on high.

Leboeuf shouts louder than anyone on
deck and fairly screams with Gallo
enthusiasm as Barnes winds up by
placing card on edge and splitting it
with his unerring bullet.
Later on Monsieur Leboeuf sets Mr..
Barnes to thinking again. He makes
his appearance and demands deter
