COOKED OX THE V1XE.
While we are no suiflci-ntly crp-1-k'ous
to believe that pre-cooked rm
etables are a possible agricultural
achievement, we can still hope foi
' such a boon from nature. Perhaps
Luther Durbank might accomplish
something of this sort in his experi
ments. No one would care to state
positively that it could not be done.
Besides, it is said that already
there is growing in the United States
a patch of patatoes which need only
to be plucked and eaten, a culinary
process having been carried on by
artificial means during the period of
their germination. Dwlght Wheeler,
a Connecticut farmer, Is proprietor
of the astonishing field of spds. It
was he who hit upon the method of
cultivation by which the sprouting
root is baked as perfectly as though
it had been spaded out of the ground
and placed in a heated oven. But
"Wheeler's potatoes do not grow un
der the earth, but on plants like to
matoes and string beans.
Wheeler assures us that anyone
can grow their own potatoes, already
cooked, by following his simple plan,
which, by the way, he refuses to di
vulge. It has been ascertained, how
ever, that the young farmer has been
experimenting with red pepper plants
during the last year, and it is sup
posed by those who are not con
vinced of his mendacity, that he has
crossed potato sprouts with the seeds
of these exceedingly hot vegetables.
How else could one account for tho
pre-cooked potatoes? The juice of
the pepper stock would naturally cir
culate through the stems of the po
tato plants, eventually passing into
the succulent pulp of the spud Itself,
cooking it to n turn.
Really, Wheeler interests us great
ly. If he can cook potatoes, as he
says, without building a fire, ho un
doubtedly could perform the same
service for other vegetables, by in
fusing them with the quintessence of
something hot. Wheeler should ex
periment with live stock next. Tho
-thought of having to prepare neither
meat or vegetables beforo eating ap
peals to one's sense of indolence.
JVN OVERLOOKED WATER FRONT
Spoaklng of improvements which
remould soon receive attention, thero
"has been no feature of the city so
carefully overlooked as tho water
front. The condition of many of the
docks Is simply disgraceful, and thoro
is no general movement in the direc
tion of improvement.
Ono specific case that is-'attractlng
tsomo attention is that of the Port
land & Seattlo docks and terminals.
Tho terminals have been Improved in
a most wonderful way through tho
port of Portland's big dredge, Co
lumbia, lifting the gravel from tho
river bed and scattering it uniformly
thousands of feet along the com
pany's terminal grounds. In this
way two birds have been killed with
ono stone, for tho gravel used la one
direction for a fill deepened the chan
nel In another, and thus provided
deep water at the point where the
company proposed to build Its docks.
Theso docks aro now In process of
construction, and while they are not
helng built of cemont, as It was hop
ed they would be, are nevertheless
"beyond comparison tho best con
structed docks on tho wator-front.
They are being bulkheaded and filled
In with gravel, which is a vast Im
provement on the usual free-and-easy
stylo of construction thqt simply
invites fire and spreads disease.
As a matter of fact, it Is a great
mistake not to extend the fire limits
along tho waterfront. A now dock
helng built by a coal company In
place of ono recently destroyed, Is
about as dlsroputablo and shabby
looking an affair ns ono could woll
find anywhere It Is ten years behind
tho tlmos and n score of years behind
what It ought to ho. A new ordin
ance should bo Introduced In tho
council extending tho flro limits in
that direction, and every company,

OLD-FASHIONED BREAKFAST.
low dear to my heart Is that scene
of my childhood
Which fond recollection rocalleth tc
view;
The damask-clad board with Its la
vishly plied food,
Delectable fare my young appetite
knew.
The thick, Juicy beefsteak, the ome
lette by it,
The crisp, fried potatoes, seductively
brown,
The rampart of toast with the mar
malade nigh it
Ambrosial breakfast, where now thy
renown?
The old fashioned "breakfast, our
forefathers' breakfast.
The long ago breakfast of vanished
renown.
Those rich-tinted waffles, how tooth
some and tender.
Their dimpled delights on those
mornings of yore;
How oft to their delicate charms I'd
surrender,
How sweet the libation I'd over them
pour.
How calm the content that would
softly enfold me
As each melting mouthful slipped
lusciously down,
And how I'd have sorrowed had any
one told me
That opulent breakfast would lose its
renown.
The old fashipned breakfast, our
forefathers breakfast.
The long ago breakfast of vanished
renown.
How bleak Is this modern repast of
the morning,
It dlffereth far from the feast of my
dream,
That succulent fern the bare table
adorning. .'
I yearn to devour with sugar and
cream.
I'm weary of hay, predlgested and
shredded,
On health-giving sawdust I look with
a frown,
The pangs of dyspepsia aro less to be
dreaded
Oh, bring back the breakfast of an
cient renown;
The old fashioned breakfast, the
dear, deadly breakfast,
The long ago breakfast of vanished
renown.
But Is there no hope? Must I ever
continue
On flakes of dried science to nourish
my brain?
While "vigor" and "force" feed my
musclo and sinew.
My poor, patient palato petitions In
vain.
Dear meal of my youth, with what
rapture I'd hall thee.
Could I but beforo thy abundance sit
down!
With keonest enjoyment I'd haste to
assail thee.
Thou memorial breakfast of blessed
renown;
Tho old fashioned breakfast, our
forefathers' breakfast,
Tho long ago breakfast of, vanished

A California woman Is wearing a

tho biggest corporations, with the ex

struction for the Portland & Seattle
railroad, aro all of a piece. There
aro really more big sinners than
small. Some of tho conditions which
exist should not bo tolerated, even
from the standpoint of the public
health.
More attention must hereafter bo
paid to tho waterfront conditions,
