In Boiling Water. j rare potatoes wltu a stinrp vegetable-' knife Just as thin as possible, for that: part of the tuber lying close to the skin; Is richest in mineral salts, anil put each; potato us peeled into a pan of cold wa-j ter to prevent discoloration. Havej ready meanwhile a kettle of boiling; water and when the peeling process is: complete take the potatoes from the! cold water and, covering them with: boiling salted water, set tlitmi on the. "tuge, covered, to boll. Twenty mlu-: utes usually sulllee, but to test them; use u skewer or fork, ami when theyj can be pierced easily remove nt once; from the lire, pour, oft all the water; and set them on the back of the range,; uncovered, to steam dry, assisting that: process occasionally by a slight shak-j lug of the kettle. i Tf niio nalra flit, rttnctiti trhr nntntnpfi: should always be cooked In hulling wa-' ter try the following experiment for proof - Take two cups. In each of which hai been put a teuspoouful of ordinary starch. Pour o-er one a quarter of a cupful of boiling water and over the other the same quantity of cold water and observe the result. The one over which the boiling water was poured stays In shape, it compact mass, while the one with the cold water dissolves into a soft paste. The potato is largely composed of starch, and from this trial any one may draw h!s own con- clus'ons. If you wish a pulpy, watery potato use cold water, but If a dry. mealy, snowy ball that would delight the heart of Epicurus himself alway use boiling water. I WEARING APPAREL. The Tnnte, the Ton and the Leather DreN of the Ancients. Ancient wearing apparel was not cut to fit, as is our modern clothing. Hav- lug no definite shape of Its own, it did not disguise the wearer's figure, and the grace and beauty of Greek drapery are dependent almost entirely on the perfect proportions of the figure be neath. The tunic worn by both Greeks iintl Itoinans was little, if at all, fitted to the wearer and when unglrded hung In folds nil round, -while the toga was little more than a sheet and was worn In all sorts of ways, according to the prevailing fushlon. The Jews Of old seem to have .worn breeches, but the rest of their clothing seems to have been simply wrapped round them, for It was dltllcult for them to run or even Walk fast without first "girding up their loins." The clothing of the northern races was probably always more of a fit than that of the southern, for they used leather, which does not lend Itself to simple draping, bnt ancestors probably wore an r . shapeless tunic belted at the waist. Another striking difference is found In the gradual monopoly by women of. the ornamental element In dress. Once masculine dress was by far the moat splendid, and woman, holding an abso lutely subordinate social position, had; to content herself with humbler attire.; As she has wou her way to freedom! and equality she has annexed not only! the beautiful, but the extravagant ele-i ments of costume and left man to con-j tent himself with a condition of color-; less utility. ! i MUSIC STRINGS. Tie Great Amount of Material Ho-; quired to Meet the Demand. "One of the most generally accepted! but mistaken Ideas that are entertained; by the people of this country," said a; traveling representative of a foreign; manufactory of gut strings, "Is that; strings used on musical Instruments; re manufactured from catgut If thatj were true the cats In this world would have been exterminated many years) go in supplying the market with ma terial for musical Instrument strings. . "The fact Is that they are manufac tured from the Intestines of sheep, and in obtaining enough raw material een from these animals the manufacturers at times find difficulty.' "The only string made from the In- , testlnes of the feline Is that used for surgical purposes for sewing up wounds. One would be amazed to know that there are millions of mu sical Instrument strings used In North. America alone, and Just think whera the tabbies would be If they had to supply the consumption. "Another amazing thing is that there are over 700 different grades of musical instrument string The demand for strings in North America is increasing! every year, especially' in the south and; In Mexico. There are more guitar; strings sold In Mexico than any oiherj kind, but through the south the buuJoj string Is still popular, desplto th factj that every year has marked u slight but; gradual fulling off In the demand."!"
