For mmio time he had picked up a pre carious livelihood by doing "odd jobs," including such prosaiu occupations as that of bootblack and casuul porter ou the (jiini Marseilles. One day he was engaged by a gentleman to cany to the railway station a heavy trunk. Arrived at the station, there was an instant mutuul recognition. They were old col lege chums. "What are you doing here?" asked bis friend. "Carrying your trunk, I believe," said Jean. "Why do you do this?" "Because I must." " Whore do you live?" "Conio and nte," replied ftichepiu.

PecallarltlM of the Potato. Tho opinion bus prevailed among housekeepers that it is the good potato whinh breaks open when it is boiled. A scientist who has made potatoes a study insists that tho good potato is the one that remains quietly in its coating of brown during all of tho processes of cooking. Instead of tho swelling and bursting at tho skin being caused by the presonco of starch it has been as certained that albumen is tho substance that causes this breaking open. Au or dinary potato is made up of throe fourths of its weight iu water, two tenths in Bturch and one-fiftieth of ni trogenous matter. If itoracks and falls to pioeos during tho process of boiling, It is deficient in albumou, and therefore lacking in the most importaut constit uent. New York Ledger. A Dnunaa Storjr.
