FRIED POTATOES.

Sold on the Streets From Pushcarts In
Parts of France.
The street vending Of pommes frites,
or French fried potatoes, is peculiar
to the northern part of France Pom
mes frites take the place Of peanuts
and popcorn and are sold In much the
same fashion. Not only is this trade
carried on in some instances as a regu-
larry established business, but work
men wishing to increase their earnings
come out on the streets in the evening
and sell these fried potatoes from
pushcarts. Their profits often exceed
their days wages.
The pushcarts are of the ordinary
type, but covered A coke brazier is
inserted through the flooring, over
which is placed the large iron caldron
holding the fat obtained from beef
suet. Raw potatoes, after being pared.
are pressed through a special cutting
machine. coming out in long. narrow,
four sided pieces. These are immedi-
ately put into the boiling fat and in

They are then sailed and sold In small
paper cornucopias holding / or 2 cents
worth.
Pommes frites have the advantage
that they supply satisfying and nu-
tritive meal for a few cents. This is
especially appreciated by the mill EN-
ployees during the noon hour, as they
are thus enabled to have something
hot with their otherwise cold lunches.
Rather than go to the trouble Of pre-
pairing the dish, to say nothing Of fll-
ing the house with the odor Of boiling
fat, many families prefer to purchase
the freshly cooked tubers from the
nearest vender These fried potatoes
are not sold merely at mealtimes, but
during the day. and are eaten like pop
corn.-Consular Reports.

GROW OWN TABLE DAINTlES.
Every Farm, No Matter What Its Size,
Should Have Kitchen Garden.

Perhaps the most characteristic fca-
ture of our northern and eastern farms
Is the home vegetable garden. says

no orchard has been planted. and
where the ornamental surroundings of
the home have been neglected. a fairly

a number of the staple kinds Of vege-

many cases the principal interest in
the garden is manifested by the wo
men Of the household and much of the
necessary care is given by them. A
small portion Of the garden Enclosure
Is generally devoted to the cultivation
Of flowers, and number of medicinal
plants are invariably present.
Throughout the newer parts Of the
country one finds that the conditions
governing the maintenance and use of
the vegetable garden are somewhat
different. and. while a number Of vege-
table crops may be grown somewhere

Suit for $4,000 Against Aged and

Boston, Mass.-Mrs. Emma F.

Mrs. Sarah F Merriam, a wealthy
widow, "a years old, in which $4,000
damages were claimed for alleged al
lienation of the affections OF Mrs.
Heath's husband, Nathaniel P. Heath.
The case was a most peculiar one,
and every day during the trial the
courtroom was crowded. Many wit
nesses were examined and the evil
dence presented was of a sensational
nature. Mrs. Merriam, who is well
preserved for her age, is deaf, and 1t
was alleged that complimentary re-
marks were overhead by witnesses. II
was also alleged that smacks could
be heard from behind closed doors.
Heath, n real estate broker, was Of
fered the management of Mrs. Mer-
RAMS hotel, and took up his resi-
dence there. Mrs. Heath dated her
troubles from that time.
The suit was first tried in May Of
last year, but the jury failed to agree.
and today Judge Charles L. Bell of
the superior civil court, who had
heard the charges and evidence rem
dered a verdict in favor Of the IA
year-old defendant, who had vigor-
ously denied the statements made by
Mrs. Heath and other witnesses Heath

Klamath Falls. Ore.-Nine hundred
and sevcnty-siX dollars were paid out
by the county treasurer in July Tor
jackrabbit scalps. This means that
the county now has 9760 less rabbits
than it had a month ago, asa bounty
of 10 cents is paid for each scalp. In
June the county court raised the
bounty from 5 cents to 10 cents and
this has greatly stimulated the efforts
of boys and men throughout the coun
ty to kill the pests.
The 10-cent bounty will be in force
only three months, but at the rate
the rabbits have. been slaughtered the
farmers Will feel relief.
The bounty was raised because Of
complaints from farmers that rabbits
were increasing fast in many sections,
destroying crops and becoming a gem
