How TO Carry Water.

II you want to carry full pail of
water any distance without spilling or
to carry water from one room to an
other in a fiat dish or tray you should
always have something floating on it.
II 1t is drinking water clean saucer
will do, and a fat piece of wood is
the best thing for pail 1t is the lit
tie waves that arise from the waters
tapping against the sides and then
rushing to the other side that makes
the water spill over. The fioater stops
this.-New York Sun.

Battle of Dorkine.

The battle of Dorking was an imagi-
nary battle. In 1871, at the close Of
the Franco-Prussian war, Englishmen
were reminded by the quick work done
by Germany over France of the posi-
buities of invasion, and Sir George T.
Chesny wrote an interesting and in
structive narrative called '"The Battle
Of Dorking, or the "Reminiscences Of a
Volunteer" in which he depicted the
imaginary scene of great battle on
English soil, which was won by the
Germans. In short, the battle was the
product Of a military mans magma
ton, but it was so well worked out
and so wildly described that as long
as the German armies were in France
the mention Of the battle Of Dorking
was enough to make an Englishman
shudder.

A Nautical Exclamation,

A New York woman, recounting her
impressions of trip abroad, said:
Zone thing at least l learned. That
was the meaning of 'windward and
'leeward.' The captain of the liner l
crossed on explained this difference to
me in a way that, if little vulgar.
was yet unforgetable.
Captain said, I never can tell
the difference between the windward
and the leeward. Explain it to me. will
you?

captain, If were to spit to the wind

WHAT A GARDEN DID.
How One Ambitious Girl Added to Her
Bank Account.

How One Ambitious Girl Added to Her
Bank Account.
Eight years ago a twelve-year-old
girl in Cleveland started little garden
for vegetables and flowers. Flowers
she sold that year brought her $1S.45.
It was a great sum, and she could
hardly wait until the next spring so
she could get at that gold mine of hers
again. The next year she almost dou-
bled earnings. In the third year they
scared to $5910. Each year there
after saw money roll in in increasing
amounts. Last year she came out with
$2S5.63. She was capitalist and
could talk with the calm superiority of
the class.
IT am able to buy all my school
books, clothe myself, spend some for
pleasure and still add to my bank ac-
count"
A fine young woman. At twenty we
can imagine her. She has no complaint
In the world. Her garden is pleas
ant place, friendly to self reliant young
people, remunerative for labor and
pains, filed with the sweet odor Of
flowers. Sorrow may come to her some
day, but never the sense Of helpless
ness. The garden has taught her, as
school and her parents counsel could
not have, that always there is a way
by which the wolf can be kept from
the doorstep and by which despair is
made an unknown quantity.-Toledo

COOKING POTATOES.
Waste Tibet Comes With PAIRING and
Soaking Before Boiling.

Waste Thst Comes With PAIRING and
Soaking Before Boiling.
PAIRING and cooking is the most waste
full method, and added to this some
cooks soak the potatoes in water after
they are pared. Starting to cook them
In cold water also adds to the amount
OF waste.
Twice as much nutritive matter is
lost If pairing is done before boiling as
there is II it is done after boiling, not
figuring the waste in cutting away the
potato. The juices Of the potato con-
tain IS per cent of the protein and 80
per cent of the ash, and these sub
stances are easily extracted when the
protection of the. skin has been re-
moved.
A pared potato soaked from three to
i've hours loses about three times as
much of its mineral matter and seven
times as much Of its protein as one
that is pared and Immediately cooked.
In the most wasteful method of cook
ing, pairing, soaking and starting to
cook in cold water the loss of protein
is 81 per cent and 80 per cent Of ash
When cooked with the skins on pota-
toes not soaked and dropped into boil
ing water lose only lie per cent of pro-
tein and only 40 per cent of ash.
Baking and steaming are the most
economical methods of cooking pota-
toes when fuel is considered. Potatoes
cannot be baked well in q slow OVEN
