introduced Potato into France.

Recently the hundredth anniversary
OF the death of Antoine Augustin Par
mentier. who introduced potatoes into
France. was celebrated by the farmers
Of his native land. He was the apothe-
cary Of the Inyalides, when. following
the famine OF 176s. the Academic de
Besancon announced q prize for dis
covering a vegetable which could be
used In time of famine. Parmentier
won the prize with the indication of
the nutritive starch of certain plants.
The potato was then unknown In
France II had been brought from
Peru. but was the object or warnings
by doctors. who attributed TO it's use
various feyers and even leprous af.
fections- Parmentier persuaded the
government In ITS 20 give him farm
for his experiments. From the first
towering OF the plants he sent n bou-
qaet TO Louis XVI. which gave the
vegetable It's flrst popularity.

ind Of q quarter of an orange, and q
seasoning Of salt and pepper. Cover
and simmer gently for twenty minutes,
then set the pan in the oven and cook
a half-hour to brown the meat. Serve
on q platter with cress or parsley at
the end. New potatoes and peas with
carrots make good vegetables to serve
with IL, or to cook with IL.
Veal suffers I'm reputation because
it Is often put on the market too
young. IL should be at least six weeks
old before butchering. and IL well
cooked and properly mastcated Is not
hard to digest. Veal, because Of its
geiatinous composition. slips down too
easily when being masticated. and SO
often IL is not well divided In the
mouth and consequently causes intes-
final troubles.
Veal also spoils quickly and In hot
weather should not be kept long.
Veal with blush tinge Is not 1T to
buy. IL either indica,,s an undernour-
ished animal or. more probably, too
young for the market
Wnen buying veal select only that
which Is pinkish (ashes of roses); this
will. IL the flesh Is firm, insure a good
product.
Stuffed Flank Of veal.-Spread out
the flank which has been prepared by
the butcher, make a stuffing of one
cup of sausage meat. two cupfuls of
bread crumbs. teaspoonful of grated
onion. one teaspoonful of minced or.
ange rind. one tablespoonful of
Worcestershire sauce and a good
sprinkling of salt and pepper Add
one egg, put the forcemeat or stufIing
In the center OF the flank. roll care
fully and tie In strips of muslin. Drop
into a pot of boiling water to cover
and cook gently for Is minutes. Turn
carefully while cooking with a wooden
spoon. SO that the meat Il not pune
tured. Serve cold thinIy sliced.

Not much entertainment for q white
man to be captured by these savages
and forced to be their chief! Twice
he had attempted to escape and twice
been ANONYMOUSLY retaken. Accord

changeable laws-the third attempt
meant death.
He glanced down the long rows of
bamboo trees whence his halfnaked
negroes led forward the group Of white

A woman. young and beautiful. held

two stalwart blacks.

law. You may live. and the one you
love best also may live. will put you
both on the first ship that passes this
most detestabIe spot
The woman knelt and clasped the
boy. Over HIS head her eyes strained
despairingly toward the two men who
stood calmly regarding her.
For an instant the eyes of the taller
left hers and fingered upon the boys
yellow curls.
Two natives with knotted clubs
stepped forward. The king rose. His
gaze swept the multitude of dark
faces.
He hesitated-no-his interference
would but change those stolid counte-
nances to fury.

The woman whispered I'm the boys
