How SHE COOKED A DINNER. - A
young lady of this city, says the New
York Dispatch, read in the papers that
the young ladies of Georgia are compet-

best cook. She thought it most noble
and womanly gift to be able to put up
on the table well-cookcd and relish
able meal. On Friday, her mother went
out in the afternoon, and the loving
daughter told her she need not hurry
back as she would make supper. About
7 O'Clock the family sat down to the sup
per table. The daughter told her father
that she had cooked all that meal her.

the knife into the steak, he sawed away
at it for while, he looked at the edge
of the carving knife aud sawed away
again. The knife made little impress

near the lamp. 1t wasn't a steak that
had been fried. II was piece of India
