NOUS SAM baa been prying Into the Inner life of the humble potato tate and after a most thorough and rigid investigation declares ! n the year book of the Department of Agri culture Uiut the potato is a desorviiiK and extremely valuable member of Uiu community. Sclcntlflc Investigation has shown that the practice , which has become so general , of serving potatoes with meut and other similar foods which contain liberal amounts of protein Is based upon correct principles , one food sup plying the deficiencies of the other. j ! Potatoes and other fowls containing ' carbo-hydrate * are sometimes objected [ , to on the ground that they are starchy foods and do not supply much nitro genous material. It should be remem bered , however , that the potato does contain a by no means Inconsiderable amount of protein , and further that carbohydrates are an essential part of a WtiH regulated diet. The digestion experiment referred to shows that pota toes properly cooked furnish such ma terial In a dlgeatlble form. They have GUNNAR WENNERBERG. . Fatuous I'oet , Composer uucl Statesman of Sweden Is DcaJ. The celebrated Swedish poet and composer , Guuuar Weunerbers , Is dead , lie was born Oct. ii , 1817. GunnarVeuuerberg began his ca reer as a song writer by publishing u collection of student ballads for which he wrote words and music. These bal lads have since become popular all over Scandinavia under the name of "Gluntarne. " Wemiei'berg Is also the composer of oratorios and national folk songs , amoug them "Hear Us Svea , " the syng with which the Swedish stu dents at the Paris exposition of 1878 OUN.VAK VfEN.VKrtHERO. captured the Urst prize , and which has come to be the national folk song of Sweden. Hut It Is not alone as a poet iiml composer that AVeiinerberg has been distinguished. He was also UK able ( Statesman. From 1870 to 15 > ! ) t lie was chief of the department ecclesias tic and for several years governor of tinru | \ Ince of Krone-burg. As early sis 18.0 he bwame a member of the Uoyal Musical Academy , and sixteen years thereafter was elected a member of the Koyal Swedish Academy. He was the Idol of the music-loving pee ple. BILL NYE'S START. Man Who "Discovered" the Humorist Tell * His IJarly HNtorr. Col " 11111" Hoot , of Uinimle , Wyo. , the dealer in wild animals and dltvov- i-rer of "Hill Nye , " and who now has < luirge of the Indiana village at Glen Island , tells the following .story of how- lie "disi'overed" the humorist , suys tin * Ne\s York Tlmc.s. " 11111 Nye , ' when heNUS a young man , wasn't much ; In fact , folks hi l.urumle wondered whether he would oMMitnully dry up aud blow away or just'die of plain stanation. Things lies oroiilil vome his \\iy : , and that same way led through many rocky places. Kvvrything to which he turned liis haud seemed to wither under it , and lie began to think that heiis a hoodoo. ' "Hill was a pretty discouraged sort nt' a cuss when 1 said to him and his \\lfe one day : 'Come out to the ranch .Hid sUt.N with me for a while , ' aud they ame. Long before this time Frances. Hill's wife , had made up her mind that Hill \\u.s east In the mold of a lawyer , am ( uuililng would do but Hill must sliblj law So Hill came along with ; .ih nd | bouKs and would wander around the. much Hying to Imbibe OZOIH ; i ml pages of Hlnckhtotie , but the cankerworm - worm o/ / worry wa In hl mind , and the o/.oue utid several of tb been u staple article of diet for many years without harmful results and therefore the conclusion that under or dinary clroumstauees they are otlier than a useful aud wholesome food seems unwarranted. The potato called In different regions white potato , Irlali potato , English potato tate , or round potato was Unit Intro duced Into Europe between 1CSO and 15S3 by the Spaniards , and afterwards by the tiugllsh about the time of Ral eigh's voyages to Virginia. It Is com monly believed to be a native of Ohlle. Wild potato plants closely resembling those cultivated to-day are still found ther , though It IB a fact worthy of men tion that , as the potato baa be u modi fied by cultivation , It boa Largely lost the power of producing seeds , and the cultivated potato differs from the wild lu seldom producing seed bearing fruits. When llrst visited by Kuropeaus the aborigine * la Ohlle. and adjacent re gions cultivated the potato for Its edible tubers and had apparently long doue so. It was probably Introduced Into the United States , especially Virginia and North Carolina , towards the end of the sixteenth century. ' The edible portion of the potato Is made up of 7S.3 p r cent water , i.2 ! pel- cent protein ( total nitrogenous matter ) , 0.1 per cent fat , 18.4 per cent carbohydrates drates ( principally starch ) , and 1 per cent ash or mineral mutter. Of the carbo-hydrates , 0.4 per cent Is made up of crude liber aud materials which in some of their modifications constitute the cell walla of plants and give them a rigid structure. When potatoes are stored they under go a shrinkage. According to tests .made at the Michigan agricultural ex periment station , this amounted to 11.5 per cent when they were kept hi stor- had In a cupboard seemetl to do little good. "Every little while Bill would sneak away , write something he culled f untiy , send It away , and anxiously wait for the lightning , In the shape of a check , to strike. N"o\r , Frances discouraged all this. She wanted the law or nothing. She felt that ouce Hill hung out his shingle all the world would Immedlate-i ly get Into trouble and half of It would fall over Itself to g t Into Hill's oUlcc. "Well , one day Hill met me about three miles away from the ranch ami said : 'Hill , I want your advice. I've got something In uiy pocket and on uiy mlud , uud I want you to tell me what to do. ' "With that he unbuttoned his coat and pulled out H letter from a Denver newspaper Inclosing a check for $ i0 ! , showed It to me , and asked , 'Shall 1 become a funny man or , a lawyer ? ' 1 looked at Hill , and then at the check , and back at Hill again. That check- surprised me even more than It did him. Hut 1 was there to give Judgment , aud hud to do it. " 'Hill , ' 1 said , 'If you can ttnd foolish people anywhere In this world who are ready to part with good bank checks for that stuff you grind , you go right to the house , get a big bottle out of the cupboard , put a wet towel about your heart and nit down and grind. A man must have brains to be a lawyer. ' "And Hill's wife never spoke to me for three jeur . " MELODY. " ' Antics of it Due that Music. It Is not generally known that the late Sir Arthur Sullivan was not only passionately fond of dogs , but had made a special study of them. The brilliant composer declared frequently to a writer In People thut In the dog are embodied nil the necessary coud tloris for the appreciation of mulc of every kind , and that the organ of hear ing In a dug Is of murveluus delicacy. Among other Illustrations of this the ory which had come directly under In- notice he cited the following : Ten or tlfleen years ago , when Sulli van wn * In the halilt of going down very regularly to the theater to con duct rehearsals of his own operas , he \vufc follow el every morning by a dug which entered the theater at the same time that he did , placed liim.-c f lie tweeu the legs of the iim-lriaus unit listened eagerly to the music. This went on until the constant appearance of the dug excited the curiosity n it only of Sir Arthur , but of all the mu slelan.s. They did not know his name , so they gate him that tif Melody. Verj soon the dog was petu-d by all. and eudi in turn invited him to d liner "Melody , will you dine with niv to day'- " was the form of the Invitatlmi and the words weiv sutllcleni. The dog followed his host , ate heartily , and as Miuii as ( llniit.'f was over ran nir iijjaiu to the theater , found his way to the oivlicMni. placed hininclf in a corner , and iiexer left till the evening per foruiiuice was linlshed. Nothing could lie mure amusing or more curious than the attitude of Mel ody during the performance. If a new- work wa being performed , he found H out before the overture had become far advanced. Then he Untuned with the greatest attention If the piece abounded In pweet and original melo- dlex. he trutined liln ple'UMHV liy delighted lighted burkw and by H-raplug hi * feet rupldl ) on the ground nge from Scpt.JH ) to May 1. This shrinkage Is probably due to a loss of water by evaporation. The potato contains Mime protein , but as the principal Ingmlluut In It Is starch , it limy b properly classed as carbo-hydrat food. As In the case with all curbo-hydmte foods , It Is chief ly valuable In the diet to supply the body with energy. The potato has a fuel value of 385 calorics to the pound- that Is , when burned Into the body , as all foods mint be to be utilized , It yields energy equal to the amount named. The principal ways of cooking pota toes are baking , boiling , and fry tug , or Home modification of these processes. To obtain the hljciieet food value , pota toes should not be peeled before cook- Ing. WJieu potatoes are peeled before cooking aud placed directly lu hot wa ter and boiled rapidly less loss of mate rial Is sustained than when they are cooked In water cold at the. start. The wholesoiueiiesg of potatoes cooked in different ways Is largely a matter which each must decide for himself. Although under ordinary circum stances potatoes are unquestionably a wholesome fowl for most persons , Ill ness Is wnnetlrnes caused by eating them. There are undoubtedly some persons In health with whom potatoes do not agrv , just as there are those Who cannot eat strawberries without distress. This Is due to personal Idiosyncrasy , and not to the harmful character of the food. Oases of actual poisoning hr potatoes , however , are by no means unknown. Potatoes a year old which have lalu In a cellar , and shriveled and small potatoes which have sprouted without being planted , are considered especially dangerous , and should not be eaten. On the other hand. If the piece prov ed to be only ordinary or Insipid , Mel ody Invariably yawned , turned hla liuck upon the orchestra , ga/.ed around the boxes , and ut last s-luul : away In a decidedly bad humor. This expresslv pantomime wu the most piquant criti cism of the new opera. When the work of some great inuutei wua played , Melody always knew tie ) precise moment when an artist was go- lug to sing .some striking sons or pluj some special part of the work , and then his movements and gestures were such as almost to plead for silence among the spectator * . "I do not know. " uld Sir Arthur , not many weeks before his death , "what llimlly became of the dog , but 111 * name and reputation are still fre h In the _ memories of several musicians who have seen his singular antics.
