ToDAy's ANNIVERSARIES.

A convent of Ursu1ine nuns at
Charlestown, Mass, was attacked by a
mob on Aug. II, 1884, in consequence
of a report that a girl had been con-
fined there against her will The in
mates were warned to escape, and the
house was broken into, set on fire and
destroyed. The cemetery YVES then
visited and the graves desecrated.
This outrage led to a large meeting
of citizens in Boston, who denounced
the perpetrators and took measures
to apprehend them. Several persons
were arrested for participating in the
crime but only one was convicted. A
huge log raft made up of $4,000 trees,
which had left Joggins, Nova Scotia,
on Aug. 1, reached New York in safe
ty on Aug. IL, 1888. 1t was nearly
500 feet long, 6,4OO tons in weight
and the cost of transportation was So
600. Shipped by ordinary means of
transport it would have cost $780,

ADVICE OF EXPERTS
SUGGESTION FOR SELECTION
AND COOKING OF POTATOES.
Points That Housewife VIII DO Well
TO Keep in Mind When Purehas-
ina-EconorieaI Methods Of
Serving the Tubers.

The following suggestions to house.
wives by home economics specialists Of
khe United States department of agri-
culture are made in regard to the Sc
lection of potatoes for table use.
In purchasing potatoes for table pur-
poses, the following points should, be
kept in mind: First, that smooth po-
tatoes are more desirable than rough
ones, because they are more easily pre-
pared, and less loss is involved in the
pairing. Second, that tubers which
have been exposed to light for any con-
siderable period soon acquire a more
or less acrid taste; for this reason,
newly harvested potatoes, II mature,
are preferableefor the winters supply
to those which have been kept for any
Considerable period under unsuitable
conditions. Third, that very large po-
tatoes are not especially desirable,
partly on account of the greater length
Of time required to cook them uni
formly, and partly because they are of.
ten very variable in texture. Fourth,
\ good potato should be firm and crisp
when cut, and a thin cross section
when held between the eye and the
Hight should show a relatively uniform
distribution of starch throughout its
whole area, as opposed to a large,
translucent, watery, central area which
denotes a lack of starch in this por-
ton Of the tuber. The even distrlbu-
ton of starch insures greater uniform
lily in cooking and in texture of the
flesh when cooked.
If lot is not uniform, 1t is often
worth while to sort them and use the
large ones with roast meats, or at 9th
er times when the oven need not be
especially heated, and save the small
pnes for occasions when quick cooking
is more convenient. When the pota-
toes are very large, or time is press
Ing, It is often desirable to increase
the surface exposed to the heat by cut
ting them in pieces before cooking, in
spite of the fact that this slightly in
creases the amount of nutrients lost.
II they are pared and cut into small
cubes or thin slices, they will cook
very quickly and may then be creamed,
mashed, or served In other ways.

He Broke OFF in Confusion.

and twenty-in fact it had been the re-
action from this which was the deter
mining factor In his life.
He had wronged one of his boon
companions. The mans wife, who had
poor reputation, had become infatu-
ated with the young fellow, and they
had gone away together. They sep
arated a week later. She had spoken
Of a divorce and asked him to marry
her; but somehow the Judge found that
he was of finer caliber than he had
thought. They separated. and he
never saw the woman or her husband
again. Years later, however. he heard
that she had died.
II troubled him. but after all a man
must live down his past and not brood
over 1t. The Judge was an exemplary
husband and father. His little daugh-
ter ran to kiss him; he folded his wife
In his arms.
"what will they do with that poor
fellow. Symonsi" asked his wife later
that evening.

judge, che would go to the electric

"That depends on whether the jury

'But. my dear, he shot the man who
had run away with his wife. Surely
that is not a crime that deserves severe
punishment
II do not think II does" answered
the Judge. my function, however. Is
not to pass upon the abstract right or

UnWritten
Law
BY BASIL t. ANDREWS


"Do you believe in the unwritter
law?" asked counsel OF the Juror. 1
The judge raped his gaveI upon his
desk. There is no unwritten law ex.
cept the common law" he announced
"and the juror will take his law from
the court. not from his conscience. The
duty Of the juror is to bring In YER
dict upon the facts. II, a man shoots
another It Is murder or manslaughter. "
The counsel bowed, the juror sat
down In the box, accepted. Only the
prisoner eyed the judge and smiled
cynically. Hardened as he was to his
duty, the judge felt disconnected by
the prisoners gaze.
The case was a simple one. The
prisoner had shot the man who ran
away with his wife. He was willing to
take the woman back, and she had al
ready created a scene In the courtroom.
But the judge was stickler for law,
and everyone knew that, IL he could
help II, the universal sentiment in ia
vor of the man should not permit the
jury to bring in any lesser verdict than
murder in the second degree.
The judge went home that night, to
be greeted by his smiling wife and lit
tie girl. The judges home life was ex-
emplary. Nobody dreamed of the
judges past, least of all the woman
who shared his home.
Until the age of twenty-five the
judges life had been anything but ex-
emplary. He had run away from
home, loafed, drunk and generally been
"a good fellow" What a singular
phrasei However, there had been
good at the bottom, and at twenty-five
somehow the judge changed. Perhaps
the change had been working in him
for years, subconsciously. At any rate,
he threw Off the old life, settled down,
studied law, became a famous lawyer
and was nominated to the bench amid
universal approval.
1t must be confessed that the Judge
was not greatly troubled about his
past. He thought that 1t was the aver
age past of young man. He had
never been in prison, he had never
stolen. The thing that sometimes
caused him bitter regret was an event
which had happened when he was four

Deem Fat FRYING.

Many young hOusekeepers are afraid
10 attempt deep fat frying because
they either share the common belief
that fried food is indigestible or they
find it difficult to get uniformly perfect
results and hesitate to serve poorly
formed crOquettes or imperfectly cook
ed doughnuts. AS a matter of fact,
perfectly fried foods are seldom indi-
gestible, because they have not been
allowed TO soak fat" When the fat
is hot enough TO form crust over the
outside of the food Immediately, the
fat particles do not permeate the
starchy interior, and fried food can
easily be digested by any ordinarily
healthy adult.
