A good potato dish is made. as
follows: Peel and wash and cut in
quarters half a dozen or more raw
potatoes. Put them in a saucepan
with a lump of butter and a little
water; season with salt and paper
.and cook very slowly, tossing them
p frequently until they are soft. Then
beat them until they are light ; put
them in a baking dish, cover with
grated cheese and pour over them
half a cupful of melted butter. Bake
slowly in a raodera,te oven for half
an hour.
Few housewives try to do any-
thing with marrow and simply throw
it awa.y. There are many delicious
dishes that can be made with mar-
row, which is a rich and nutritious
food. To use with soup, serape the
marrow from the bones and if very
cold, as in winter, try out some-
what, so as to make workable. Add
to the marrow one beaten egg and
mix into a smooth paste., Season
with salt and pepper, adding
enough stale bread crumbs that
have been sifted to enable you to
roll the .marrow- into small balls
about the 'size Of a anaable. Test
theia consistency by .dropping 'one
into the 'boffin.. soup If it holds to-
gether it is all right, but if it falls
apart a few more crumbs are need-
ed.

became the temporary talk of tho
town, for in it was disclosed the
strange eventful history of the
sphinxlike individual.
• Attention was called to' this
queer, nay, unparalleled case, by
a correspondent in the LanCet, in
consequence of a question asked by
George Bright, M.D., United
States Navy. The replies to his
query were numerous and interest-
ing. Suffice it, however, to quote
a few extracts frorn a letter I
wrote when captain, of the. Third
West India Regiment:
"In 1857 I travelled with this re-
markable character on board the
intercolonial steamer plying be-
tween Saint Thomas and 13arba-

her old friend, and enemy, Gen-

aide-de-camp to the governor of
the Cape, she had fought a duel
and Was wounded in the leg. The
late Colonel Shadwell Clerke, who
was on the staff of General -Basil
Brooke at Barbado,es, told me be-

Brooke pooh-poohed the idea, and
made them shake hands, In per-

Result is Like a Ilieli Puneli.
In his article en that little-known
Moroccan eity Of Rabat in Hair -
per's, Sydney Adamson tells of the
ceremony of tea drinking with the
Governor, to whom he bore a lea
ter from the Inasha Of Tangien.
"Moorish rugs, in brilliant bar-
barous toloring, covered the finely
tiled lleor. Around the walls, rich-
ly tovered tushions Jay for one to
sit upon crosslegged. The Geyer -
or sat upon one in front of a raised
dias. His brother and a. nephew,. a
young man who wore his fez rak-
ishly on one side, were seated near
him.
"Our party occupied the remain-
ing cushions. In the hallway slaves
awaited. Behind Vic Governor en
the dias stood a handsomeanass bed
richly hung with silk -on curtains
and spread. Shereef explained
that, the Governor rested there
when he would have no one dis-
turb him. or he might honor a
guest by its use. On the wall0 were
lseveral clocks in pairs, all going,
and all wrong.
"We conversed while the slaves
brought, a silver tray and tea ser-
vice of Turkish gilded glass, a great
• kettle with charcoal stove inside,-
which boils its own water, and trays
heaped with rich cakes. But the
office of making tea itself always
rests with a gentleman and is never
performed by a slave. The good
looking young nephew with the rak-
ish fez honored us.
"First he warmed the pot. Then
he took a large lump of loaf sugar
so big that his hand could not sur-
round it, and thrust it into the pot.'
A big handful of freshly gathered
mint followed the sugar, and then
a sufficient quantity of the finest
green ten completed the -charge.
The boiling water was then poured
over this and for the usual five or
six minutes it was permitted to
stand. A slave then handed us each
a glass of the fragrant amber color-
ed liquid, which was very delight-
ful and wholesome, but more like
a rich, unusual punch than every-
day tea." -
