TO BE CONTINUED.


Free from the oppressive dictation Of
a guide-book, we wandered far into
Da1ecarlia, wherever the picturesque
ness of people or landscape led us, re-
CARELESS of the conyentionalities of
travel. The long days of midsummer,
with no darkness and little twilight,
followed one another like succession
of day-dreams, for no arbitrary Nature
drove us to bed or summoned us to rise.
At midnight we were sometimes work
ing on sunset-color studies or sitting at
the window reading. We started for
our days walk an hour after supper,
sleeping when we were sleepy, and eat
ing when we were hungry. How long
a man accustomed to lower latitude
could endure the dissipation of this ir-
regular life we did not discover, for our
experiment was not long enough to fix
the limit of our endurance. For a
while, at least, it was an agreeable
change, and we looked forward to dark
nights with no pleasant anticipation.
There came continually to mind the
complaint of the thrifty New England
housewife, who, although rising at
dawn, and continuing her work by
evening candle-light, never thinks her
day half long enough for the hundred
duties that are crowded into it. But
the Dalecarlian farmer doubtless finds
his working hours as many as human
nature can endure, for he is obliged in
this short season to make up for the
long and dark winter, when candles are
lighted in the middle of the afternoon,
and the cattle do not leave the barns for
months. The farm-boy bitches up the
horses to harrow at ten o'clock in the
evening; toward midnight the carts
laden with hay rumble along the village
streets, and there are sounds of life all
night long. Even the birds scarcely
know when to cease singing, and their
twitter may be heard far into the even
ing. Frank D. Millet, IN Ha,per's Mag

Italian Cookery.

There is wild delusion in the world
that the Italians are natural cooks, and
that an Italian meal leaves nothing to
be desired in the way to gustatory
pleasure. 1t is u delusion of the widest
nature. Italian cookery, at least such
as we have found in hotels and private
families, is anything but good. as COM
pared with American Or even English.
Like the French, they have an intuitive
knowledge of soups, which is natural,
as soup is the foundation, the basis as it
were, of Italian living. They take a
very little bad meat, and proper pro-
portion Of vegetables, and with the aid
of salt and pepper and other condi-
ments, make soups that are appetizing,
if not especially nourishing. They are
pleasant and piquant. But when they
come to meats they somehow manage
to make them insipid and tasteless, and
their preparations, whether animal Or
vegetable, have flavor of oil about
them that is disagreeable. Oil is excel
lent In it's way. but the flavor needs to
be somewhat disguised to make it pleas
ant, especially as they use it in every
thing. They manage tolerable pastry
and confectionery, but their efforts,
even in this line, are not to be COM
pared with those of the skilled Ameri-
can pastry cook. Their beans are a
mockery, their roast beef .delusion,
and there is in their cooking a lack of
substantiability of flavor that is distress
ing.
There is more of the SAVIOR of life in
an American buckwheat cake, sirloin
steak fresh from the gridiron, or proper
ham and eggs, than can be found in the
combined efforts of brigade of Italian
cooks.
Whose goes away from America to
get good things to eat wanders far from
home. There is no country in Europe
so well Fed, either with respect to raw
material or the methods of dressing it.
1t is a touching sight to see party of
Americans sitting in hotel drawing
room after dinner, discussing what they
will have to eat the first night they
touch the happy shores where nature
has given man the proper material to
eat, and the intelligence to properly use
