Whit Iowa Girls are Taught.

AT the Iowa Agricultural College
every girl in the Junior class has learned
how to make good bread, weighing and
measuring her ingredients, mixing,
kneading and baking, and regulating
her fire. Each has also been taught to
make yeast and make biscuit, pud-
dings, pies and cake of various kinds;
how to cook roast, broil steak, and
make fragrant cup of coffee; how to
stuff roast turkey, make oyster soup,
prepare stock Tor other soups, steam
and mash potatoes so that they will
melt in the mouth, and, in short, to get
up tirst-class meal, combining both
substantial and fancy dishes, in good
style. Theory and manual skill have
gone hand in hand. If there is any
thing that challenges the unlimited re.
spect ard devotion of the masculine
mind il is the ability Of woman to order
well her own household.

on the healthy, wealthy and wise side
of midnight, gives good augury Of q re-
turn to sober hours in the habits and
customs of the English. Another hope
full sign is the practice OF abbreviating
dinners, both by a reduction OF the
menu and by the oblition of male
sederunt running into much time and
many magnums. The fashion of thus
curtailing and tightening the once
solemn and often dreary meal has in
deed been steadily growing for long
time. Those heavy feasts, with their
monstrous epergnes and other conven-
tiopalities as pompous and depressing
as the tray of feathers that used to be
carried in front of funeral, are swept
away to the last crumb. There re-
manned, however, much to be done in
the way of prandial reform, even at q
recent period, and, to the Joy of opera
and theater managers, against whose
interests the late and long dinners Of
the past decades carried on a ruthless
war, the work of continued amendment
has been taken vigorously IN hand by
many leaders of society, foremost be-
ing the Prince of Wales. AS for the
quad1ille parties named so PRETTY
after the heroine of the Countess
d'Alnois' fairy tale, all sensible people
must wish them success; and their in

Francis Truscott of q determination to

A FUTURE KING.
The Prince OF Wales Pronounced a
Good Fellow, With all the Name I'M
London Letter.

London Letter.
was present last night at cosy club
gathering of actors and Journalists,
when by chance the conversation turn
ed on the royal family. Speaking Of
his royal highness, the Prince of Wales,
one of my friends, comedian of some
eminence, said: "Some years since the
Prince Of Wales was crossing the stage
of Drury Lane theater, smoking a CT
gar. He was accompanied by Mr.. f.
Chatterton, who was at that time the
manager of the Lane A Jealous fire.
man, praiseworthily oblivious of the
rank of Mr.. Chatterton's distinguished
guest, stepped up to his manager, and
in low but respectful tones, called that
eentleman's attention to the fact of the
princes smoking. On retiring his royal
highness asked Mr.. Chatterton the
cause of his having been accosted,
whereupon the manager repeated the
fireman's words. In moment the ci-
gar was put out and the fireman sum-
moned. After complimenting him on
his zealand no one can say graceful
thing more gracefully than the prince
he inquired his name and presented the
fireman with sovereign.
"Some years after that the prince
was on the stage at the court theater in
company with Mr.. Hare, the manager.
To everybody's surprise he, after look
ing earnestly at the fireman who was
present, said, "Your name is Nichols,
is 1t not? How long is it since you left
Drury LaneP the interview, as genial
and pleasant as before, ended with the
prince again tipping the fireman with
sovereign" Now this little anecdote-
which, unlike many of the charming
stories that are purveyed by the Lon
don correspondents for the American
market, is perfectly true-exhibits u
well known trait in the Prince Of
Wales character in forcible light. He
never forgets. 1t is q characteristic
that is peculiar to the younger men,
bers of the royal family, but those who
best know him declare that the I'M
feigned simplicity of the Prince of
Wales is charming.
My friend, George Henry, who was
special correspondent of the Standard
during the princes tour in India, tells
several anecdotes which prove this.
Chatting with him at Madras, the prince
said, Il had letter from my wife this
morning. She tells me she reads all
the papers. She likes the accounts in
the Standard and Daily Meas the best"
my wife," not "the princess" Now it
is singular that not one of the Prince of
Wales brothers, with the exception,
perhaps, Of Prince Leopold, possess
this art of charming everybody. AS
Tor the Duke of Edinburgh-well, l
recollect once asking distinguished
special correspondent if he had ever
come in personal contact with Prince
Alfred, whereto he replied, eyes, and
! am not very anxious to repeat the ex-
perience." "Why?" inquired. "Why,
to begin with, he is rather bore as n
conversationalist, and he is forever
wanting you to puff the fellows he takes
an interest in. Fiddlers and Russian
painters, and 50 forth"

A Lively TIGER FIGHT.
Stirring Scene In the Paris Geological
Gardens.
Land and Water.

Land and Water
My friend, Mr.. Bartlett, has kindly
called upon me to tell me the particu.
lars OF an event which took place last
Sunday at the Geological Gardens, n
false report having been circulated rs
to what really did take place. 1t is Gus
tomary 10 place tigers that are likely to
pair in the same den. For some time
past two tigers, the female being a
Chinese tiger and the male " native OF
Malacca, have been mated IN the same
den.
They agreed very well till Sunday
last. They were playing together quiz
city, when, by accident Il suppose, the
lady tiger suddenly struck one OF her
sharp claws through the septum of the
gentleman tigers nose, tearing it COM
pletely through. The male tiger imme-
diately pulled back his head with a
jerk, and the lady's claw in consequence
cut It's way out Of the tender skin Of the
nose, causing naturally great pain and
bleeding.
Not liking this sort of counting, the
male tiger Immediately turned upon
and pitched into his sweetheart, rolled
her over and gave her good thrashing.
There the matter would have ended,
but ~ he was walking away the lady
unwisely-and wishing to "have the
last word"-followed him ard bit him
in the thigh. War to the knife was
then proclaimed. The male, the strong
est of the two, rushed at her, rolled her
over, pinned her by the throat, and the
two, ~ understand, fought most des-
perately. The sharp, saber-shaped, ra-
zor-edged CANNES OF the male tiger
made terrible wound in the female =
neck, while there was plenty of blood
on both sides.
Hearing the fight going on with the
tigers, the lions Mt the Other end OF the
house thought they too might AZ well
have bit Of fight on their own ac-
count. They bristlod their names and
hnir, lashed their tails, swore good
deal, but luckily did not pitch into each
other, although Frenchman, to quiet
them, TO use his own expression, writes;
~ run up and down; made great
noise; agitated my hat; ! waved my
handkerchief to disturb them, but they
were agtated by 80 strong anger that
my efforts were Of little effect" After
the tigers had grappled with each other
like two fighting cats, the animals came
near To the bnr OF their cage, and SUIT
ton, the keeper, who thoroughly under
stands tho management OF these big
carnivora, managed to make the male
tiger let go his hold and get him into
ono Of the sleeping compartments in
the den. The lady, who really began
the quarrel by scratching tho gentle
mans face, lay still for some time and
bled great deal, which bleeding prob
ably saved her life. After awhile she
was induced to creep into her own
sleeping den Mt the bnck, and though,
Of course, her nerves are considerably
upset, she is doing well and will prob
ably be soon all right again, but yet
more careful for the future to carry on
her domestic quarres without such
free use of her sharp nails.
