Administering discipline.

Forney's progress" has the FOL

Scene. u theatre. Seated In the
orchestra n lady aud gentleman the
former much euamored of,hc latter, in
fact DESTROYS Of winning him. The lady
however, had flirting tendencies, and
INDUCED them with q handsome party
in the circle. The escort is not un-
observant of this lsttle by.play, and
finally asked smilingly;
"Do you know that gentleman with
whom you are flirting ?"
An embarrassed negative is the re-
ply.
"Tben excuse me II moment"
The escort Immediately crossed the
theatre, puts similar question to the
other conspirator, 'Sir, are you ac'
quaited with the lady at whom you
have been smiling this last half hour y?
mo y .I.
"Would you like to be 2 pleasant

Very much surprised, "Certa'nly''

says sternly;
Now, sir, you may accompany tn
lady home p
With bow he takes his leave, an
the woman who loves him never hear
his voice again.

American Cookery.

A veteran New York hotel keeper
says: There is no country III the
world where the necessity OF good,
well-cooked food is greater than ia the
United States The changes in our
climate are terrible, and the wear and
tear on the human frame is immense.
Perhaps nowhere else, in any great
CITY OF tho world, is the stress on hui
man brains so great NJ in New York
It is miraculous to think how, hity
years ago, men or women got along at
all, aud preserved their faculties w''n
tho bad system OF feeding they had
then. But believe ] discover better
cooking and better physical conditions
in the city. ! cannot say the same
for the country. The country il still
pie.fed and fryiug-pan fed, it rcvels in
clammy paste, sticky dough, aud over
done meat. ignores rare brolled oeet'
steak. is utterly ignorant OF soup, and
destroys its digestion by clogg'og
stomachs with bacon fat. 1t is worse
in New England than 10 the Middle
States. 1t is. not poverty that does 1t,
but the want otjudgment in the selec'
ton of food and ignorance in prepar-
inc it. Those engeuder long lsntern
jaws, pallid compilations, and slabsld-
edness in men ard women. Feed a
man and a woman through a halt cen.
fury on indlgestible food, and their
offspring will show the effects OF It,
1t is not the physique which Is only
undermined, but the mental qualities
are dwarled. We don't want over
nervous men and women, all tlngling
brain and no massive Drawn. Such
traits give birth to all kinds OF queer
isns. You find me any well-fed peo-
pie, who would follow those wild
religious tenets, which ended in such
fearful tragedy as took place in New
England this year. That horrible
thing came as straight down as could
be from century of bad food and ab'
normal dlgestions.

Ia this essay, to which the trustees of the
Porter Fund ia Yale College awarded the prize for 1875
The subject Of Socialism is treated from historical
and practical point view presenting the results Of an
evidently careful study Of leading authorities with
clearnes and for tue most part with accuracy There
is certain want OF maturity in many Of the statements
which bettay the handOf inexperienced writer but
on the whole the essay contains valuable summary
OF such know Of the subject as can be obtained
from the examination OF books, with various cursory
reflections which il not very profound, are often sug-
gestye and perhaps Of equal importance with those OF
more ambitious writer's The final conclusion OF the
author after a somewhat prolonged discussion, is that
The actual strength Of Socialism IN this country cannot
al present be correctly determined 1t is difficult enough
10 gather into compact aud nellgble form the vision
AIRY schemes Of the learned and scholarly writers OF the
radical type but Is quite impossible TO decide to what
extent the dissatisfaction OF American wOrkingnen
a. tinctured with the leaven Of socialism. Still more
certain would be the attempt to predict the probabi
ties Of tie future In the countries OF the Ola World
where social distinctions more CALLING class is ar
rayed against class the workman wages against the
