Riley was a lazy follow Never worked a bit All day lonn In some store corner On a ehntr he'd sit Never talked much ? too much troubleTired his jaws you see All of us were making money; 'Jest my luclt!" says he. Some one ottered him ten dollars If he'd work two days Riley crossed his legs and looked up At the sun's hot rays Then ho leaned back in tho shadow Sadly shook his head "Never asked ine till hot weather Jest my luck!" he said. Riley courted Sully Hopkins In his lazy way \\ hcu he saw Jim Hudson kiss her. "Just say lucU!" he'd say. Leap year came, aud Mandy Porktn* Sought his sompuay. Kllcy sighed and married Mandy "Jest my luck!" says he. Kllcy took his wife out fl?htog Iu a Utile boat i Storm blew up and turned them over, Mandy wouldn't float Kllcy sprang Into the rlvor. Seised her by the hair. Swum a mile unto the shore, where friends palled out the pair. Mandy was so full of water Seemed she'd surely die. Doctors worked with hor two hosrs Ere she moved an eye. 1 hey told Kllcy she was better, Doctors were In glee, liilcy chewed an old pluo splinter. "Jest my luck:" says ho. ?Detroit Free Press The Potuto'H Nutriment. Philadelphia Itecord T o lri:th cotter, who hm? f hundred* of yearn popped his p tatoes into boiling water wil their jackets on, is an unconsoioi scientist, and is preparing h homely tneai upon the most a proved hygienic and dietet pi inciples, and obtaining the big est possible degree of nutrimeu Experiments made by the a ricultural department show tin potatoes peeled and soaked b fore boiling lose from HI to ! per cent, of nitrogenous matte 2o per cant, of albuminoids ai 3S per cent, of mineral matten when peeled, placed at once i cold water and raised to a he the loss of nitrogenous matt was 16 per cent., of which alh minoids from nearly half, and per cent, of mineral matter when peeled ami thrown in boiling water the latter losses a reduced one-half, and ichon n pooled and placed in boiling w tor tho loss was but 1 per cent, nitrogenous and ''? per cent, mineral matters, tho dilFerenco nutritive values between a bu? el of potatoes pooled and soak* and a bushel boiled in tho Irii fashion being equal to a pound sirloin steak. Tho character water used makes no difForem in the nutritive qualities. A series of experiments v. i carrots embraced the same v rieties of waters in which, bo cold and boiling, the vegotabl were placed, after being cut in fine, medium-sized and lar pieces. The quality of wat made no difference in the resu but, the loss of nutritive matt was smallest in tho large piece tho small pieces showing a hiss *10 per cent, of nitrogen and JO sugar, equal to a pound of sug per bushel; the loss in tho larj pieces being, nitrogen JO ai sugar 15 per cent, the total n tritive loss being in the smi pieces .'JO and on the large 20 p cent. Other experiments with ca bage showed that a large part the nutritive elements of th vegetable is extracted bv hoilin which may account for the fom ness of the Kuropean poaaanti and the Southern Negro for ca bage soup, or "pot liquor." < tiio 7$ pounds of dry matter coi taine l in 100 pounds of raw ca bago from 2\ to .'5 pounds aro lo in cooking, a loss which seen unavoidable "unless tho water i which it. is boiled is n'so used." The digestibility of eggs wai also inquired into. They wen boiled for ?'J, 5, 10 and 20 minutei at teinperaturos ranging from lt'( to 212 degrees, the experiment showing that, "while it seemi probabb that t he method of cook ing has some effect upon the rat< of digestibility, it does not ma terially all'ect the total digesti bility." ONE OF TWO WAYS. j The bladder was created foi one purpose, namely, a receptach for the urine, and as such it ii not liable to any form of disease except by one of two waj's. Tht first way is from imperfoct actioi of the kidneys. The second waj is from careless local treatmeu of other diseases. CHIEF CATHK. Uuhealthy urine from un liealthy kidneys is the chief caus< of bladder troubles. So the womb, like the bladder, was ere ated for one purpose, and if no1 I doctored too much is not liable ! to weakness or disease, except, ir rare cases. It is situated back ol ' and very close to the bladder } therefore any pain or inconven ' ience manifested in the kidney? hack, bladder or urinary persagt ; is often, by mistake, attributed tc female weakness or womb troul)r ble of 6omo sort. The error ieasily made and may ho as easily avoided. To find out correctly, ' , set your urine aside for twenty >w four hours; a sediment or settling: is indicates kidney or bladder trou. p. ble.
