HOW TO COOK THE SWEET PO
TATO. TUK SWEET potato, bututus edulls,
Is an entirely different plant, and
botanically, wholly unrelated to
the white, or Irish potato of the north
ern states. Although not so generally
used as the white potato, solanum tu
bersoum, it antedates the latter, and
contrary to the general impression, it
Is probably native of both hemispheres,
where Its cultivation Is limited to the
hot climates and warmer parts oC our
Temperate climates. In this country It
' Is regarded as the peculiar product of
the tobacco and cotton-producing
states, but the Jersey potato, while not
as sweet, is greatly esteemed. It is
regarded quite as much In the light
of a necessity as an nrllcle'of diet in
the south as is the white potato north
of Mason and Dixon's line.
Although It yields about the same
amount of protein and starch as the
white potato, ! contains 10 per cent, or
more of sugar, and on account of this
excess of sugar, In order to make them
light and mealy, they require more
careful cooking than they usually get
In northern kitchens. There are two
methods of cooking tliem, which, whan
properly done, cannot be improved
upon, although they are susceptible of
being cooked in almost -s many ways
as the white potato of ihe north, and
in these forms make more delicate and
toothsome dishes than the latter vege
table. Have you ever tried cooking ihe
mveet potato in the true plantation
style? Baked In the hot ashes of a
wood Are, their ilavor is not unlike
the roasted chestnut and they are
Rwcet, mealy and digestible. "When
they are properly roasted, one cooking
Is quite sudlciont, but otherwise they
Are better twice cooked, hence the
common custom In the south of par
boiling them and then glassing, candy
ing, scalloping, etc.
"When boiling Ihem, too, many cooks
have them heavy and soggy. This can

easily be avoided, when the potatoes
are In tfooA condition, by boiling till a
fork can easily penetrate the potato,
no longer, then pour oft the water,
throw a towel over the boiler, placing
it at one side of the range, and allow
ing them to steam, or dry out, for fif
teen minutes. In this way they come
out light, mealy and of a brighter col
or. Pool before sending to the table,
ns.they darken and the skins are hard
er "to remove It they nre allowed to
remain too long after cooking Is fin
ished. When washing sweet potatoes
for cooking be careful not to break the
skin, which Is usually very thin, and If
broken allows the water to soak In and
make the potato soggy.
The English speaking race generally
regard the sweet potato as a vegetable
only, but the Orientals preserve It as a
sweet-meat anil the Japanese make a
sweet, potato Hour.

A CANINE HERO.
How a Newfoundland Dog's Intelli
gence and Bravery Saved the lives
of a Ship's Crew.
Ir.ny a life has been saved by a New
foundland dog, but dog never did
braver deed than one brought to re
membrance by a story In "Our Dumb
Animals." The Incident occurred some
yearsigo.
A vessel was driven on the beach of
T.ydd, In Kent, England. The sea was
very high. Wight men clung to the
wreck, which was every moment in
danger of going to pieces. No boat
could be got off through the storm to
help thi despairing sailors, and it
looked as if they would drown before
the eyes of the watchers upon the land.
Presently a gentleman came along
the beach, accompanied by his New
foundland dog. The gentleman direct
ed the animal's utteutlon to the vessel,
and then put a short stick In his mouth,
The dog at once comprehended his
master's meaning and plunged Into the
sea,
Bravely he fought his way through
the angry waves, but he could not get
close 'enough to the vessel to deliver
that with which he had been charged.
The crew, however, understood what
was wanted, and making fast a rope to
another piece of wood they threw the
wood toward the dog.
The Intelligent animal at once drooned
his own piece of wood and seized that
which had been thrown lihn. Then he
started for the shore. Again and again
ho was lost under the waves, but with
almost Incredible determination he held
on to the stick and dragged the rope
through the surf until he delivered It to
his master. A line of communication
was, thus made with the vessel and
every man on board was suved.

Lecture by Dr. Lansing.
The Young Women's Christian Tern
peranco association rooms were filled by
n. large and appreciative audience last
night, who had gathered to hear the
first lecture of the series by Rev. Dr. I,
J. Lansing, of Green Ridge, whose sub
ject was "The Courtship of Miles
Standish."
The reverend gentleman gave u bril
liantly able discourse on the wooing of
Priseilla. the Puritan maiden of Ply
mouth, by Captain Miles Standish, tho
leader of the pilgrims. Brave as it lion,
yet tender-hearted as a woman, the
doughty carjtniu did his courting
through his friend, John Alden. Alden
pleaded Standlsh's cause as though It
were his own, but his heart and soul
were filled alike with dismay, joy, pain
and rapture, when Frlscllla, after listen
ing patiently to the many virtues of the
captain, as related by Alden, coyly re
marked: "Why don't you speak for
yourself, John?"
Dr. Lansing vividly portrayed the
terrible anger of Miles Standish, when
told by his friend Alden the result ot
the Interview, and how he was tempted
to slay his friend, because the love ho
sought had been transferred. Later on,
when Standish rushes off to meet the
Indians, Alden and Priseilla meet. She
opens her heart, but Alden remains true
to his friend until word arrives that he
has been slain In battle. Then he takes
Priscllln. in ills arms, saying: "Those
whom God has joined together, let no
man put asunder." Several selections
on th piano were also rendered' by
Miss Freda Kornacher.
Fuhlbrigge-Trlvely Nuptials.

DR. KILMER & CO., Binghamton, N. Y.
Gentlemen: While it has never been my habit or inclination lo recom
mend vemedies the ingredients of which are not all known to me, it seems
as if 1 should make an exception in the case of Dr. Kilmers Swamp-Root.
My experience, so far as I have tested it in my practice, forces mo to the
conclusion thrrt it Is a remedy of the greatest valuo in all uric acid, kidney,
liver, bladder and other inflammatory conditions of the genllo-urlnary tract.
I now take pleasure In prescribing Swamp-Root in all such cases with a feel
ing: of assurance that my patients will derive great benefit from Its use. I
shall continue to prescribe It In other cases in my practice with the expeeta
tlou of the best results. Very truly yours,

'LCci
Gentlemen: I have prescribed that wonderful remedy for kidney com
plaint, Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, with most beneficial effect and know of
many cures by its use. These patients had kidney trouble, as diagnosed by
other physicians, and treated without benefit. Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root
effected a cure. TVam a liberal man and accept a specific wherever I find
it, in an accepted school or out of It. For desperate cases of kidney coin
plaint under treatment with unsatisfactory results I turn to Dr. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root with most fiattering results. I shall continue to prescribe it,
and from personal obseravtion state that Swamp-Root has great curative
properties. Truly yours,
