the intricate and important art Of cooking
we have to deal with an entirely different
state Of things. ,
Cooking IS a real art. The best cvi.
dence that 1t is an art is the fact that there
are so few really skilled cooks: A first
class cook in large cities gets layse wages,
running from 81 900 to 5000 year,
besides board. OF course the plain cook
ing of the farm house does not require
any such highly developed skill, but, after
all, no one will dehfiy the plainest table is
greatly helped by skill in the preparation
of the viands. The difference in the
flavor Of a cup Of coffee prepared by an
experienced cook, and cup bungled by
a careless or inexperienced hand, is won
derfu1; and yet some men have such dull
tastes they do not Appreciate the delicacy
or healthfulness of the superior artlsle:
The difference between light bread and
sotif, heaty bread is SO palpable that all
are prepared 10 adihit It, although they
may sometimes fail to ifiakg Ike dis.
elimination in the modes of preparing
vegetables, fruits and other dishes. In
this age we do not believe any reader will
hesitate to admit that there is great deal
of difference In the way victuals are
cooked; nor can it be successfully de-
MED that the great motive power IF the
human body, the stomach, Ought to be
nourished with the best food, prepared in
the most healthful manner and Gut Of the
best material
When the premises are true the conclu-
sions are invariably true. Having admit
ted that good food is only possible where
there is good cooking, we have led the
good man of the farm to the inevitable
and irresistible conclusion that, Ii, order
to attain such a blessing, the housewife
must have good, dry wood, and in suffi-
cient quantity and convenient of access to
be available at every hour Of the day.
And one conclusion leads to another. The
conditions of these terms imply wood
house in which the winters wood is stored,
ready to have its latent powers trans
formed by the magic of combustion and
brain into grand loaves of light bread,
biscuit, hot rolls, pancakes, pies and
swcet-cake, and all the long bill of fare
which may greet the hungry mouths
of the family, where the essential
conditions of successful cookery are
complied with. Fix up the horse stables,
the cattle sheds, the sheep and hog
pens, and the poultry house, but
forget not the wood house. If you have
not got one, build it this fall, attached to
the kitchen, or close by, with good walk
to it, and in the coming bleak winter the
good wife and the children will rise up
(every morning) and call you blessed, and
your own better nature will lead you into

James Lick.

When the fine picture that now adorns
the hall of the California Pioneers was
being painted by Hamm, the artist, true
to his instincts, the paiDter incorporated
in his likeness all defects in Mr.. Lick's
complexion and countenance. When the
portrait was half completed, and after the
millionaire had successfully gone through
several sittings, he noticed that in the face
Hamm had reproduced some of the wrin-
kles that furrowed his countenance. II
don't want them in" said Mr.. Lick
But, Mr.. Lick" replied the artist, 'sthey
are true to life-the wrinkles are in your
face" I" I don't care whether they are or
not" returned the millionaire; "paint
them OUT" and they were painted out up
on this peremptory demand. So the pict-
ure looks like that of a young man. Mr..
Lick's immediate friends say that, until
the day of his death, the old gentleman
would not believe any more strongly than
he could help that he was an old man. A
few days before his demise he had his
whiskers died a jet black, and although
his head was as bald as the palm of his
hand, he always wore thick, reddish
brownswig, and had it on the night he
died. This vanity and desire for a young
personal appearance was always, in the
later years Of his life, leading character
istic, and no matter under what circum-
stances, he would never permit any per-
son to tell him he was an old man. He
believed he could read without spectacles,
that his face was fresh and young, and
that he had many years yet to live The
picture painted by Hamm was his par
ticular admiration, and one reason was
that his youth was unquestionably repre-
sented by it.
1t is not generally known that Mr.. Lick
ever expressed preference for being
buried at any particular spot. James
Murphy, of San Jose, stated yesterday
that some time ago Mr.. Lick told him he
desired to be buried on Mount Hamilton,
at the base of the proposed observatory.
This idea was the result of a suggestion
from Mr.. Murphy. who at the time re-
ferred to the burial of Sir Christopher
Wren, the architect of st. Paul's cathe-
dral, London. Hell was buried in, the
cathedral, and over his remains was
placed Q single marble slab on which was
inscribed the single line: :. For NV mon
ument, look around you.''
When Mr.. Lick was first taken sick, in
1873. he fancied that blood drinking
would help him. A calf was procured
and taken alive to the bathroom in his
suite. The animal was placed in the tub
and its throat cut. As the hot blood es
capped from the wound it was caught in
vessels and conveyed to the sick man, who

Be in Earnest.

There is something about person vino
does everything as though he was thor
Oughly in earnest that commands atten-
ton and respect. Success never comes
from any half earnest attempt, because
there is too much competition in this
world to permit of much laggardism, -
either in business, social intercourse or
friendship. Probably one of the most
repugnant tasks which man may some
times be obliged to perform, is that of
borro wing money; but the one who seeks
a capitalist in an earnest, confidential
manner, showing by his actions that he is
sanguine of meeting obligations when due,
is far more likely to get the accommoda-
ton than the one who walks and talks
timidly in such business operations.
Earnestness and confidence in ones own
abilities and skill to perform certain acts,
form kind of personal capital which
goes long way in this world towards
making a mans life success. 1t does
not matter what man is doing, if he puts
no enthusiasm or earnestness into his
work, it will drag and the wheel will move
slowly and creak with friction. Now, as
we hold that this earnestness of character
is but a habit which may be cultivated or
suppressed, either in individuals, families
or nations becoming hereditary under
certain conditions and extinct under
others, it is therefore in this view, not a
matter of theory or speculation but some
thing which should command our earnest
attention.
Parents in particular should carefully
avoid suppressing show Of earnestness in
their children, for there is little danger
from an exhibition of too much, though
there may be need of proper direc-
ton. The child who has been en-
couraged to do everything in an earnest
manner, will generally retain the habi,
through life, and the only thing TO be con-
sidered is the proper directness of this
earnestness, for it must be admitted that
the same faculties may be turned either to
do good or evil, and the more they
are cultivated and strenthened the more
pronounced the results. Still, we must
adhere to our first proposition Of being in
earnest in the performance of every act,
whether it be as children playing ball, 60.
ing a fishing, or engaging in any other sim.
liar amusement. Then, in later years, the
habit having become fixed. we will find
men and women entering upon the sternel
duties of life all in earnest, and obstacles
which might appear formidable to persons
lacking this habit, will be brushed aside
withouta moments hesitation or notice.
We like to see men follow pillow as
though they enjoy seeing the fresh soil
turned over and their faces lighted up with
peculiar expression which says, am
thinking of the crops which will be
reaped here next fall, or next year"
Such men will walk briskly to their Ia
bors and home lightly when they are fin.

marvel at the elasticity of the step when

With the smile of my love at seventeen;
Her laugh that went

To NV soul--that time On the daisied green.
And though know the days are spent,
That love was lost
