site OF Dldo's palace, and came thus to
the place where the only extensive re-

to be found. These are the cisterns
which once furnished portion ct the

Owen can reconstruct an extinct animal

for those who have seen these wonderful
c1sterns to form an approximate idea OF
the grandeur of the city to which they
belonged. They are vast subterranean
structures, with heavy vaulted roofs, in

In the mighty tanks the heat of the
African sun. But time has made many

light OF day In consequence streams in
upon corridors and chambers which
1900 years ago were jealously shrouded
In midnight gloom. Some of the cistelns
are circular In shape, and look like moth
ing so much as enormous wells the ma
lority, however, are of oblong form. In
every case the masonry is OF the most
substantial description, showing how
well the Phenicians did their work.
Even more remarkable, however, than
the quality of the masonry is that of the
lining of cement upon the walls of the
clsterns. 1t is as perfect to-day as on

An Odd Incident.

A gentleman of Brenham. Texas, who
was in the battle of Seven Pines, tells q
very strange incident. He was an or.
DERBY sergeant and had the book cen.
tanning the roll of his company and q
bible in Lis left pocket. A ball struck
the roll book, passing through it, and
burying itself in the bible at a significant
verse. and what was more singular still
was that every man whose name was
struck by the ball passing through the
book was either killed or wounded in
the battle.

The Modern Cook.
tMrs. N. D. WEIGH, in College Monthly ]

Mrs. NJ. d. WEIGH, in College Monthly.1
What are some of the things that
every cook who prepares meal for any
family ought to know? Unless the whole
routine of her work be haphazard and
unreliable, she should have intelligent
and well defined opinions concerning
the relations of food to physical growth,
so that she can furnish that which is the
best adapted to the whole household, fit
TO build up healthful and symmetrical
bodies for the children as well as the ma
ture workers in the family, the nutriment
necessary to keep good the balance be-
tween supply and demand. The children
should not fail to develop properly on
account of her ignorance of their needs.
The father should never give out more
vitality In his struggle with the world
than she can make good to him as she
prepares his daily food. All this applies
practical application of the principles
taught IN physiology and chemistry, as
well as knowledge of the kind and the
quality of nourishment stored In plants,
flesh, fish and fowl. Earth, air and sea
furnish her with materials which she
must understand how to prepare, so that
and muscle In such proportion that each
shall have its proper development She
must be both too wise and too humane
to concoct any dish or brew any drink
that will induce dyspepsia, headache or
dizziness.
Never until the cook gives more time
to the mastery of such studies will cook

sciences These bodies of ours are ex-
ceedingly complicated and delicate mach

keeper to build up, without knowledge
or skill, Eymetrical and perfectly de-
veloped human body. And when the
value Of these bodies, not only as physi-
cal organisms, but as related to mental
growth, is fully appreciated, the work of
the skilled cook will rank with that of
other great philanthropists. 1t is not
extravagant to say that the progress of
humanity toward true perfecting de-
perds largely upon this branch of do
nestle economy. How much thought
and study are given to the proper food
for fine stock. Surely we owe as much
care to our children as to our herd. 1t
is certainly true that just in proportion
to the advance of any people in civiliza-
ton will be the advance Of care and skill
in the preparation of the articles of food.

study. Health, mental vigor, virtue and
happiness are moro closely dependent
than we are apt to imagine on the cook
that reigns in the kitchen.
