How AUSTRIAN LADIES LEARN TO
Cook. The Austrian lady of station
who does not know how to cook. one
may almost say does not exist. Every
detail of the cuisine she Is acquainted
with. A story is told bv Austrian
ladies of another who, having neglect.
cd her education, allowed. at n great
dinner party she gave, two dishes Of
the same color to ba served in success
sion, fault for which she was hardly
to be forgiven. The princesses of tho
royal household attend a course OF
lectures from "chef" entirely upon
the order of serving. Young ladies'
do not learn the art Of cooking at cook
Ing clubs or from public lessons. as
here In America, and they rarely
learn In their own kitchens. It Is the
custom to go to some great house; the
house OF princess or at O. verv rich
bankers, where there are famous
"chefs,' from whom they learn.
When "chef" engages to cook for
great house, he stipulatos that he Is to
have The privilege Of teaching as many
young ladies' as he chooses. These
young ladies need not even know the
mistress Of the house, and thoy make
their arrangements with the COOK
only. For course Of lessons lasting
through tho winter each pupil pays
the cook about thirty gulden. about
$l5. This includes Instructions In
every particular. Ifa banquet Is to be
given, grand breakfast or an elabo-
rate supper the young ladies are noti-
fed, and are there to see tho dshos
decorated and to learn the order of
serving. They watch every process.
Were you to descend to kitchen at
such time, you would, no doubt, find
these lessons always forctell marriage,
and are tho last and finishing touches
OF maiden's education. But it would
be breach Of etiquette for any mem
Der Of the household to trcspass in
that department., which belongs to tho
cook and his noble young pupils.
Since young ladies must be in the din
Ing room themselves on such occasions
IN their own households, 1t follows
that these processes they cannot watch
at home, never mind on how grand a
scale things are. And so in Austria
all noble young ladies learn these
things In another kitchen than their
own.

AWell-Planned Scheme.

The Russian Socialist, Prince Krapot-
kin, who has just been expelled from
Switzerland, was aided to escape from
st. Petersburgh in a very ingenious way.
One day he received, in his ration of
bread, the following message from an
unknown hand: "When you hear Beet
hoven's Third Waltz played upon a
piano in the house opposite, ask per-
mission to 60 out into the court" Al
though the Prince did not quite under
stand, he nevertheless kept strict watch
for the sound of the waltz. Three days
afterward, in the afternoon, some one
began to play it. He Immediately asked
to be taken into the court. Scarcely had
he reached the yard in company with his
two sentinels than he saw the large gate
to the prison yard open to allow loaded
wood-wagon to enter. The wagon had
not entirely passed the gate when, ap-
parently by accident, it discharged its
load of logs at the entrance. The
Prince, seeing his opportunity, gave a
bound before the wood was entirely out
of the cart, and cleared not only the
gate but two bullets which were fred at
him by his guards. The fallen logs
prevented an immediate pursuit. At
the gate was q Cossack horse, saddled,
awaiting the Prince. He mounted it
and galloped away. Since then the
Russian police have never been able to
find out who it was that played SO well

A Bushel From Every Pound.

That bushel of wheat, on an aver
age all over the country, should te pro-
duced from every pound sown ought to
be q fact, and not an expression in SO
many words. That bushel can be
raised from every pound of wheat sown
under all ordinary circumstances is
fact that farmers should verify every
season. So long as they sow ninety to
one hundred and twenty pounds per
acre, generally on poor land or on land
poorly prepared. there will always be
small crops and poor seed. When it
takes three to five pounds of seed to
raise bushel, it is, to say the least.
ruinous waste. Enough is wasted in
such seeding to supply with bread the
whole wheat-producing. population the
year round; and not only is this direct
loss sustained, but another-viz., thick
seeding invariably hinders the wheat
plant from producing as much as it
would were it not cramped and crowd
ed so closely by its Spping neighbors.
Farmers mistake the demands of almost
all small grain. Generally they think
the more seed, the larger yield, when
the very reverse is the case. There are
seeds that send up but one stalk and
require to be sown thick; there are
others, like some of the grasses, that
wheat, oats, rye and barley show very
clearly their repugnance to being sown
too thick by their failure to stool out
and make many stalks from one grain.
When sown broadcast or with a drill,
thirty pounds of good seed per acre
should be the maximum, all OUer the
country upon all land that is in any way
adapted to its growth.
Many farmers have made extensive
experiments in thin sowing, and in no
single case where the conditions were
favorable and the culture carried out
on scientific principles, has there been
a failure to produce from 80 to 6O0O-
fold. Well authenticated reports are
on record when forty, thirty, fifteen
and even seven and half pounds sown
per acre have produced three, four and
even six times as much as any ninety
pounds ever did. Every good kernel
should mako at least twenty good heads
and every head at least forty grains
SO0-fold. This shows the nature and
habits of the wheat plant. | have

The value Of Composition in Business.


Competitor forces every one who would
achieve the highest success In any business to
avail himself of all legitimate means to that
end. A. T. Stewart started in a small way
in selling dry goods-with increased capital,
. wider experience as buyer and . better
knowledge of the wants and tastes of the
public enabled him to procure specially in.
telligent labor. The public was well served
and he was largely benefited by his enter
prise. Look at another distinctly American
industry; the primitive American stoves
were clumsy affairs. To-day they are every.
where recognized as the best in the world
for convenience, utility and beauty. Look
at the great success of the makers Of the
CHARTER OAK STOVE! Starting in small
way in 1S47, the business gradually devel-
oped and increased. To-day it is the largest
factory in the world Of its class, and brought
to st. Louis . reputation for good stove-
work which is now world wide, more than
400, 900 CHARTER OAK STOVES being in con-
slant use, abundantly testifying to the fact
that they are well worth buying, and making
the homes Of the people comfortable. CPD
