A Cooking School.

The project of establishing q cooking
school has been revolved with the other
project of establishing laundry in which
none but whites shall be employed. The
objection to o cooking school as O sepa-
rate enterprise, was the difficulty of dls-
posing of the cooked material. Cooking
has been treated as means to an end
that is to provide food for persons who
needed it-and when it came to be con-
sidered as an Independent industry there
were obstacles presenting themselves
which at the time there seemed no way
of overcoming. But it is now suggested
that boarding house will have to be
maintained in connection with the
laundry, and the table may be supplied
with the material prepared at the cook
ing school. AS the pupils in the cook
ing school will work without wages, it is
urged that the cost of the ia Die will be re.
duced to the cost of provisions in the
market. The projectors of the cooking
school will endeavor to maintain an es-
tablishment where plain cooking in all
its branches may be acquired by prac-
tical service. Wives, whose accomplish
ments do not include q knowledge of
housekeeping, may supply the deficiency
at this school. 1t is said that annually q
good many young ladies are installed as
mistresses of houses whose time has
been SO fully occupied with school,
music, and kindred accomplishments
that the kitchen has seldom been graced
with their presence. The cooking school
will afford such ladies an opportunity to
remedy the defects of their education.
IT NAV also he uti1ized "a n nreparatOrv
school for persons desiring to make do
nestle service their occupation. If an
arrangement can be made with the laun-
dry by which cooked material can be
disposed of at cost, one obstacle in the
way of establishing cooking school
will thereby be overcome.- S. F. Call.

her niece's poor pale face, and asked,
sharply: whats the matter. child ?
Do you see anything dreadful in the
sweets?"
"No, ma'am," answered Lefty, with a
pitiful attempt at smile, when the spoon
struck something harder than preserved
peaches should be.
"Let me help you,' said Brougham
and with one turn of his wrist he placed
upon the dainty china shell before her
wad of paper.
"And so that is the last of the cele-
brated marmalade, is it?" said Aunt
Emory. Il don't want any prefer
nv sweets unmixed with unknown
foreign substances. Take it away Norah. y
But Lefty was already slowly I'M
rolling the paper lit proved to be the
missing part of the jars original hat)-a
rather difficult thing to accomplish as 1t
stuck persistently to her small fingers,
but accomplished it at last, when out
rolled the little gold pig. And on the
inside of the paper was scrawled, in
Kicks bold hand, these words:
"MY DARLING How foolish we are
I mean, am ! Here is the charm.
Miss Varian had it about ten minutes
last night-only long enough to show it
to you and tell story about it. Baby
will give it to you. Had no paper, so
tore piece off one of your jam pots.
Will see you tomorrow evening.
RICK"
Never did any young lady so suddenly
break through all the conventionali-
ties of society, never did daughter so
quickly forget the wishes of her mother,
never did niece so unfinchingly brave
the displeasure of thirty thousand dol
lar aunt, as did Lefty Lounsberry the
instant after she had read this note.
"Brougham!" she cried, looking at
him with beautiful. beseeching eyes, II
must see Rick. I must-I must. You
will go and bring him to me, dear?"
Ut was the first time she had ever
called him "dear," and, alas! he felt that
it would be the last For moment he
pulled his long moustache nervously.
1--WE are not very good friends, you
know" at last he said.
eyes, know. But ] am to blame for
that, too" said Lefty hurriedly. "For-
give me, Brougham, but I must see
Rick"
And the good fellow, hesitating no
longer, turned from that imploring face,
and, with Juggling at his heart strings,
went of to seek his rival. He found him,
and brought him back to the girl they
both loved.
And what do you think Aunt Emory
did? Aunt Emory who had declared
over and over again that only as Mrs.
Brougham Brown, Lefty should inherit
any of her money. LEFT the house in a
passion?" Not bit of it. She laughed
and laughed until she could laugh nc
longer.
"Now shall have some news to tell
folks" she said. ''They must
be tired and sick of my
old yarns. Tn sure 1 am. Love,
gold pigs, jealousy, and marmalade all
mixed up together. It's one of the
funniest things 1 ever heard in all my
life."
I'm glad you think So" said Mrs.
Lounsberry. 1T don't strike me that
way. What are they going to live on?'
"Oh, I'll look after them" said Aunt
Emory; and her remark makes a very
good heading to this real, sweet story

White. BufaIoes.

White buffalo have frequently been
seen and killed. All Indian tribes re-
gard them as 'big medicine" but they
have different superstitions regarding
them. For instance, Catlin, the painter,
while among the Mandans in 1882, saw
a white buffalo robe erected on pole in
their village as sacrifice to the great
spirit. 1t had been purchased from the
Blackfeet. who killed the buffalo, for
eight horses and quantity of goods.
On the other hand the Comanches be-
lieve it very dangerous to see white
buffalo. In 1869 saw young Conan
che who had seen white buffalo return
ed to the camp almost dead with fear
He was taken into his tent, the medicine
men were sent for, and they smoked him
and kept up incantations over him day
and night for a week. When he came
out he believed that he had had q narrow
escape from death. In 1869 o
white buffalo was killed by white man
on the north fork of the Red river,

General Grierson. He desired to
have it dressed to preserve it,

named Horseback to have the operation
performed. Horseback selected one Of
his squaws, had the medicine men Of his
band go through various ceremonies
over her to preserve her life and then
placed her in teepee some distance from
his camp, where the hide was taken to
her by q soldier and brought away by
him when dressed. No other Indian
would look ct the hide, much less touch
it. Her food was left ct some distance
from her teepee. and when the robe was
dressed medicine" ceremonies were
held over her before she was allowed to
reioin the camp. twitted Horseback
about the fear OF the robe, calling his
attention to the fact that no harm befell
any Of the white men who handled the
robe, but he answered that such might
be the case, but what vas dad medicine"

Qneen Marguerite.

Queen Marguerite, OF Italy, seems to
be greatly beloved by the Napoleans.
They call her Marguerite of Marguer-
ties" Recently, when she entered Ma
pies, every window and doorway was
adorned with her favorite fower-in-
deed, the whole city looked like great
bouquet of daisies. From Naples she
went by water to one of the Mediterra.
mean ports. On going on board of the
ship she found every one, from the Ad-
miral commanding down to the common
sailors, wore boutonneire of marguer-
ties, delicate attention greatly pleasing
the Qneen. Her aon, the heir apparent
of Italy. bears as one of his titles
that of prince of Naples" When
he was born that city presented the
Queen with an exquisite cradle
made of pale pink coral filed with the
snowy petals Of her own delicate flower.
Queen Marguerite has lost much Of the
bright blonde beauty which once rivAled
the charms of the Empress Eugene. She
has grown little stout. and her sad ex-
preston and freq dently noticed red
ness of the eyelids gives emphasis 70 the
rumor that she often weeps. All the
royal beauties Of Europe have had
trouble. Eugene, the Princess Of Wales,
and her pale, frightened sister, the
white dove" Of the Russians, all know
what sorrow is, and Queen Isabella, one
of the ugliest women in Europe, has not
had very happy life. It is said that
she left Madrid in tears last month. when
State reasons forbade Alphonson to ask
her to extend the visit OF ceremony she
is allowed to make TO her native land
once q year.

The STAUNTON PHILHARMONIC SOCIETY
CONCERT. The first concert by this society was
given on Friday evening last at the Opera
House, to one of the most select audiences
we have ever seen in Staunton. Had this COLI
cert been properly advertised crowded hous.
would have resulted. We hear but one ex-
preston of opinion and that is: rarely has a
more enjoyable musical treat ever been pre-
scented to Staunton audience. The selec-
tions, both vocal and ms trumental, were ex-
celent, and their appreciation was attested by
frequent applause. The orchestra played in
perfect time. and rendered some delightful
music. The Spinning Wheel Quartette from
Martha was excellent, Mr.. Euritt's imitation
of the wheel being most complete. Mrs
Bumgardner's solo, bird of Love- was as
usual with that popular lady, received with
the heartiest applause. The gem of the even
ing was vocal duet by Miss Tams and
Mr.. c. l.. Cooke, "Home to our Mountains, "
from Trovatpre, which was rendered in ex-
uuisite taste. Prof Ide's piano solo received
the applause to which it was certainly emit
tied.
The next concert will be presented on De-
cember 18th, and we would advise all lovers
of good music not to fail to attend. Let the
Philharmonic Society have crowded heus e
next time.
