and at all times from the Annapolis water system. The usual dark blue effect can be produced by the addition of a dilute solution of indelible ink or iodine. Iodine is the best, however, as it is very soothing to any internal complications arising from Hash a la jack, etc., for which the recipes will be given in the next issue. Allow the water to boil until the potatoes are cooked to the depth of I-I6 inch from the surface. Take them out by means of a fork used to turn roast beef, stir fire, etc. Serve in dishes in which a trace of former hash is still visible. It is only after partaking of this delicacy that the true qualities of the potato as an article of food are appreciated. ' Social Calls. There is no prescribed time for making social calls. Any time of day or night that you have nothing else to do is proper., The call is entirely for the benefit of your host or hostess, and you have a perfect right to suit your own convenience as to the time of calling. If the maid tells you her mistress is not at home, call her a liar and go in and find out for yourself. Never let anyone, especially servants, trifle with your dig- nity. If the people upon whom you call are onthe point of going out, offer to accompany them, and incidentally mention that a few liquid refreshments would be very agreeable before starting. The average length of a social call is live hours, so that you can make at least two per day. Remove your overshoes, putting them in your overcoat pocket, and take overcoat, hat and cane with you to the parlor. Somebody might swipe them ifleft in the hall. Use the good old Methodist hand- shake on everybody present. Sit down in the most comfortable chair in the room, but do not put your feet on the piano or organ. If there is nothing doing, you can profitably pass away time by taking a short nap, but be careful not to snore so loud as to wake the pug dog. Wlien you rise to go if your hostess says, So soon ? sit down for another hour. However, when you do go, if there is an umbrella in the hall always take it along! The entire theory of economics is based upon the principle of laying up for a rainy day. M il 216 l 1. 4 l Q l af ,lx

Griddle Cakes. Better leave them alone, but if you must eat them, prepare as follows: Dissolve ingredients in HCL, reciprocate with K2 Cr O4 cool, filter. Wash precipitate with hot rot-gut whiskey.

Eat breakfast at 5 A. M. Eat all you can hold, avoiding con- versation and newspaper editorials. Pick a scrap with some neighbor who can thrash you. Take a salt bath 3 rub down with sandpaper. Eat from 9 until IO o'clock, topping off with at least ten schooners of beer. Chase your neighbor's chickens from flower beds until II o'clock. Quarrel with your mother-in-law, sweat and cuss until' I2 o'clock. Fat any old thing, washed down with plenty of beer, until I o'clock. Read Ames' Theory of Physicsi' and the Police Gazettef' drink half a keg of beer, and go to sleep. Get up about 4 o'clock, fall do-wn stairs. Eat pork, Bologna sausage, Boston baked beans, and drink beer for two hours. VValk the twins up and down the floor for three hours. Eat plenty of griddle cakes and dried apples, with water. To secure best results retire immediately, continually nursing a siphon connection with your beer keg. I have found the above method very benencial. Conceit is the distinguished characteristic of poodle dogs and young preachers, so if you would avoid it stay out of their company. Fathers of twins and police officers are prone to become conceited, and even senior classes at colleges are oft- times victims of swelled heads. Be cautious not to flatter old maids and yellow negroes. The truly wise man is modest as a bandmaster, and the braggart and coxcomb are no better than chicken thieves. Potatoes. The best way to prepare potatoes for the table is a la Dustin. The potatoes should be partly peeled, great care being taken to leave three symmetrical patches of skin on each potato. Boil in muddy water, available in any quantity 215
