How te Boil Potatoes.

In a bulletin issued by Prof. Snyder ef the Minnesota State Agricultural College, he makes a point of interest to the housewife. He shows that where potatoes are peeled and started boil- i in cold water there is a loss of $0 per cent. of the total albumen, and where they are not peeled and are started in hot water, this loss is re- juced to 2 per cent. A bushel of pota- toes, weighing sixty pounds, cortains about two pounds of total nitrogenious compounds When improperly cooked one-half of a pound is lost, containing eix-tenths of a pound of the most val- wable proteids. It requires all of the protein from nearly two pounds of round beefsteak to replace the loss of

protein from improperly boiling a bush- el of potatoes.

Lack of Care Ruins Clothes.

It is not wear, but lack of care, that makes a bedraggled mass of one’s bést

t lesson. Coat hangers are cheap, but half a barrel hoop, linen-wound, with a loop in the middle, is even theaper, and answers the purpose as well. These are for the heavy skirts. waists and jackets. Thin garments 3} not be hung at all, as they gr ngy. These should be folded

Other inenrgent infantry and cavalry on one flank opened fire upon the coluuan. Gen.

The forces invelved were in a short time hot)y engaged, the insurgents defend- ing their position obstinately, and giving back only # foot at a time.

PARKHURST ON COLLEGE ATHLETICS

College Intention is Defeated if Physical Experts Are Made.

} !

believe our 22c. Blend |

Dr. Parkhurst, in his article to young meu in the March Ladies’ Home Journal, writes very forcibly upon the necessity ef physical development as a requisite for proper mental growth—the development of the body and mind—and says relative to college athletics : “ - It is, there- fore, encouraging that our schools and

icolleges are making physical culture obli-

gatory; and the encouragement lies lees im what euch institutio.s have already done in the way of cultivating the body than it does in their mak~ ing it a part of the acadessic confession of faith thata man can pever altogether get over being an anima), that there is no inconsistency between imtelli- gence and dust, and that the more a maan wants to make of himselfin the wpper strata of human possibility, the moze eare- fal he must be to keep in wholesome eon- dition of repair the platform of tisswe and blood corpurcle, into which, as se mach bud into so much stock, later upfoldings are inseparably knit. I should be sorry to have this interpreted as an approval of all, or nearly all, of what passes under the name of college athletics. It is one thing to train the body for the sake of the map, and it is another thing to train the body for the sake of the body. I regret that there is so much tendency among college authorities to shape the pbysical curricu- lum to the end of producing physical ex— perts—fuot-ball, bare-ball, rowing-match professionals. That kind of thing is @ craze at present, aod it isa p'ty that among our college presidents a: d profes- sors 80 many have so far succumbed to the mania as to be willing to endorse it as a form of advertisement and as a drawing card.”

A STUDY IN DEBT,

A curious calculation on the debt of the Uuited States and its people is made by the Scientific American “from official sources.” Itsays that the “minimum private and public debt of the United States for the year 1890 was $20,227,170,- 546. These figures must cause our civic financiers to marvel at their moderation. Think what a picnic it would be to con- tract all that debt! These figures divid- first into three grand divisions :

Public debts,..............+«-§ 3,027,) 70546 Debts of quasi-public cor- porations, such as rail-

ways, telegraphs, etc.... 6.200,606 600 Private debts...............- 12,000,000,000 $20,227,1 70,546

SMEDY cncincrvsiscaredeseson 1,212,761 ,236

Total private debt......-..$12,000,000,000

There must be a vast desl of conjecture about that last detail. Men do not reac—

il; make known the sum of their indelt- edness to a census taken or any other pro- fessional interrogation point. And if they

dd, the information thus collected would ©

be capital stuff to put no confidense m. It is to be observed that the biggest item is the real estate mortgage total. The Scien- tific American credits this to abnormal speculation. ‘The large profits which were realized by the earlier purchasers, or original owners of inside and outside pro- perty in and around the rapidly growing cities of theStates,encouraged an abnormal! amount of speculation in this direction during the few years preceding the late cris,” it says. “In the Middle, and part- icularly in the Western States, this form of speculation, if it was not directly con- tributary to the crisis, certainly served to render it very acute when it came.” The most aggravating of all the debts must be that ot the crop liens in the South, which were entered into after the war to obtain tools, and which, this high authority as- sures us pay & ruinous interest, averaging forty percent. The interest on them rare- ly goes as low as 25 per cent, and often rises as “high as 75 per cent. and more.” There is nothing else of this kind recorded in the list of debts, the average interest being 6.44 per cent. The average on pri- vate debts alone is only 6.67 per cent.

It is remarked by the Montreal Star that debts massed together in this way have a formidable appearance, bat the wealth behind them, if so massed together, would prove to be immensely larger. Then, fur every debtor there 1s a creditor; which shows that som? men must be a long way ahead of the world.

SLEEP AND INSANITY. ¢

Edison gave it as his opinion tome time ago that mankind would sleep less and jess as time went on, the introduction of the elec ric light having made it possible 10 work with as much ease at night as by «lay. Sleep is for the most part merely @ abit, according to the inventor, and was forced upon our ancestors by the wretched «juality of their artificial light. This re- minds one of the man who was teaching his horse to live without eating, and would have succeeded, too, but that un- fortunately the animal died just as he had him reduced to one straw a day.

The universal belief has been that sleep is a provision of nature for resting the weary frame. refreshing the brain and

nerves, and restoring the strength exhausted by the labors of the day. ‘this belief would have to be

ziven up if Edison’s views were correct, but the experience of mankind is too uai- form in establishing the physiological function of sleep, and its essential and necessary character, to permit of the peresy making much headway. Indeed, @ recent writer attributes a great deal of the insanity which is found in the world to early rising, that is, to iosufficient sleep. Another writer joints out that Cer- vantes observed the connection between the two. Thus, he writes in the first chapter of his life of Don Quixote: “The master himself was nigh fifty years of age, of a hale and strong complexion, lean-bodied, and thin-faced an early riser and a lover of _ hunting.” And again: “In fine he gave himself up wholly to the reading of romances, so that at nights he would pore on until it was day, and a-days he would read on until it was night; and thus by sieeping little and reading much the moisture of his brain was exhausted to that degree that at last he lost the use of his reasun.”

God bless the man who first invented sleep,” cried Sen. Panza, and now that we have the boon Jet us cherish it. “ Sleep, that knits up the ravelled sleep of care, the death uf each day’s | f+, sore | sbour’s bath, balm of Lart minds, great nature’s second course, chief nourisher in life’s feast!’ Without it we can remain sound ne ther in mind or body.

Racked with Rheumatism

Unable to Walk, owing to excruciat- ing pain. After ten years’ terrible torture, Cured by Scott's Sarsaparilia.

A. H. Christiansen, writing from the Clifton House, Niagara Fails, says: “I owe you more than I can ever pay. For ten years I suffered the tortures of the damned with rheumatism, Father had

it before me, and I believe it is an here- |

ditary disease. My knee joints would get inflamed and if 1 was out in any, *tweather” I was sure to be laid up,

which to a travelling man is a calamity. |

In a score of Canadian towns local doctors treated me, some giving relief, others none. I read that Sarsapari i rheumatic cure, and I asked a —— for ‘‘a bottle of the best Sarsaparilla on the market.” He gave me Scott’s, re- marking that it was an improvement on all others, and that he could honestly recommend it. I hawe taken four bottles and am as free from pain as a man can hope to be. I was out in arainstorm two days ago and never felt a twinge.

SCIENCE SIFTINGS.

THE RECENT DISCOVERIES ON 1TH: MOON AND PLANET MARS.

SYhat Recent Telescopic Investigatisn~

Mave Kcvealed to Prof. Pickering of

farvard College @Observatory—Other

Wonders.

I shali speak first of the mvon. To give you an idea of how small a detail ran be observed on its surface, I wiil state that if the Mechanics’ Build 5; were placed in the crator Pilato it would be possible under favoring ecn- ditions to make it out through the telescopes.

The most interesting things, perhaps, to be found bs the telescope On the moon’s surface are the variable spote. These are often so large as to be seen by a small telescope. The conclusion is that there is a real change produced in the nature of the reflecting surfaces They cannot be the effect of shadow. We must ascribe them to water, but not to lakes or ponds. Ice would ke the better explamation.

Is there really vegetation on the sur- face of the moon? There is some at- mosphere there, and there is some evi- dence to suppose mofisture, which might not, however, take the form of ponds or lakes.

The dark spots are dependent on the phases of the moon. Sometimes the spots take four or five days to become dark; sometimes only a few hours.

The planet Mars resembles the earth more closely than any other boly in the solar system that we know of. Yet there are greut differ ences. A man weighing 150 pounds here would weigh but 50 there. He could leap to a rock the height of his head without special *xertion, The reasor is that Mars is so much smaller than the earth, and the force of specific gravity so much less. The atmosphere is very rare- rarer than our highest -nountains. The barometer at Mars must stand lower than on the highest monntains here— 3 to their 10, perhaps. it is probable there are no oceans on Mars, and very little free water, except in the spring, when the snow melts. She “seas” of Mars, like those of the moon, are not seas, but plains, only in the case of Mars it is likely these plains are COv- tered with vegetation.

The question of most interest is—igs the planet inhabited by intelligent creatures? The only answer we can give is that it is not impossible that it should be. People much like ourselves, with only an increase of lung power, could exist there, for a1 we can see to the contrary. If the: : is vegetation it is likely there is anin al life. If the “canals” are really canals, there must be intelligent animal lif: there. If we admit the fact of artificial canals, we must explain the word by saying they are broad belts of vegetation, divided by narrow ditches, to be filled eacs night with water produced by the great nodeturnal condensation prevailing in ihe planet.—Prof. Pickering, in Bosion alerald.

SAM’S LOVeE-LETTER,

Some Amendments Added to the Original Drait ef i.

When Representative M. W. Howard, the Podpulist member from Alabama, tirst hung out his shingle as a lawyer he was 19 years of age. His patience nearly exhausted by days spent in vain waiting for his first client to

was

come, when one dar he heard a knock at the door. On calling “Come int’ a darkey, known as Sam, stepped into the little office.

“What can I do for you?” the lawyer asked, as visions of his first fee came to him.

‘“Scuse me, sah,” said Sam, “but deed I wants to see you on pertickl.r biz- ness.”’

Mr. Howard, thinking that the man most likely wanted a divorce, said, “Sit down and explain everything cares fully.”

“Deed, sah, I would lixe to close de dore, fo’ de bizness am mighiy per- tickler,” said Sam. After having closed the door, he took the profferel seat. Then he explained:

“Sah, I has got a gur! in Georgah dat I wants you to write a lettah to fo’ me.”

“Do you love her?” asked the lawyer. “Do you want to marry her? Does she love you?” and many other questions of a like nature.

To all of these questions Sam replied “Suttingly.”

The replies being satisfactory, he pro- ceded to write the letter. After having finished it he read it to Sam, to see whether it agreed with his ideas.

“’Scuse me, boss,” said Sam, serateh- ing his woolly head; “’scuse me if f offer a suggestion; I would like to put something else in dar also; something like dis:

De roses am red, And vylets bleu: De pinks am pretty,

And so is you.

And having put it in, Howard asked if that was all. Sam scratched his woolly head a minute, and then said: “Boss, dar am one mo’ thing dat ought to go in dar—dis: ‘I hopes dat you will ’scuse de pore, mizrable writtin’ an ‘de bad spelfin!’ "—Washington Post.

Iria Wit.

An Englishman was driven up to @ hotel] where he had formerly stayed, and he missed the face of the oid waiter. “What has become of Joe?” he asked the driver.

“Och, ‘tis dead he is, sort,” was the answer.

“When him.”

“Well, if he'd lived till next Sather- dy,” said the carman, “he’d have been dead three weeks.”

The tourist remarked: “The present man doesn’t look as if he'd live very long.”

“Why, yer honour, he’s dead this week an’ more, on’y he’s too lazy to shut his eyes.”’

I think that carman story ‘vas pri- vate property. But there is the Dub- lin postoffice story, more widely known, tut worth telling all the same.

A foreigner, i.e., an Englishman,char- tered an outside car on a very wet day to see the sights of Dublin.

“What is thac tine-looking bullding?” he enquired.

“That's the postoffice, said the’ driver.

A Jolly Old Tar.

The captain of a certain large sailing tessel insists upon being addressed as “Sir” by every one on board. One day a new hand joined the ship, and a short time after leaving harbor, being a well- seasoned old salt, he was intrusted with the wheel.
