Cookery in Public Schools.

Perhaps you do not know that there is,
in connection with the agitation of the
question OF industrial education, move
ment to have departments of cookery and
domestic economy introduced in our pub
lie schools Such is the case, boweyer.
and believe the day is not far distant
when the ART of cookery will be given the
attention it deserves. am using all my
influence to bring about this result, and
never miss an opportunity OF pressing the
point The result of my observation Is
that people in all parts of the country are
gradually coming to the conclusion that
in a country like this education for the
masses must include industrial training IN
some form. And certainly there Is
no branch which has greater claims
upon the educational authorities than
this, which prepares the girls
to become competent hsusekeepers
The experiment has already been thor
ouehly tried in England and shown to be
success in every way. Sewing and
cooking are taught there in institutions
corresponding practically to our common
schools. The British association appoint
ed a committee to investigate the matter
and the chairman reported that not only
was the instruction in these departments
signally successful, but that it appeared
that the pupils in the schools where these
things were combined with the regular
course of study, better work was done in
the regular branches. The mind of the
student requires diversion for most eff
cient work. and this explains the fact
cited which is certainly strong argument
for the introduction of these departments
in our schools. don't see why it is not
quite as necessary that the home should
be properly managed as business. In
country like ours, where so much is made
of the common people, do not see how
public school system can be considered
complete which does not include practical
instruction. which can be used in every
day life bv both sexes.-Juliet COrsOn.

WHIT SAYED HAZEN.
The Movement Begun Il Year AGO 10 Get Rid
ofan Incompetent Official.

4 Washington special says: II has for
some time been Obvious that some unknown
influence protected General IIazen in his
position as chief signal officer. More than
a wear ago Secretary Lincoln had determi-
ned to get rid Of him on the ground OF
proven incapacity-a ground which the
country had come TO recognize. Ilazen
was placed in q position almost precisely
similar TO the one which furnished
the basis Of the prosecution Of Gene
raj SwMm-tO -wit., failure to ask for a
court Of inquiry or an investigation by a
military tribunal. 1t is known that Gene
raj Arthur, a. he did subsequently IN
Swaim's case. was about 10 order such
on inquiry, which would be the first step
leading up TO JlaZens trial and possibly
his dismissal. but General Arthur suddenly
drew back, and llaZen has been safe ever
stree. This is explained by recalling the
fact that Ilazcn is the son-in-law OF Mr.
Washington Mclean, who is the power be-
hind the Cincinnati Enquirer, paper OF
which McLean's son is the audaclOrls pro-
prietOr. Ii is not necessary 10 particular.
lie how Mclean called halt on Arthur
and thus secured for Iiazen, the son-in-
law, the exemption he has since enjoyed
from the danger. which was so imminent. Of
being deprived OF bis present soft place, If
not Of his rank, in the army.
Despite the fact that Hazcn deserves 10
be sent to his regiment and the signal ser
vice placed in competent hands, he wilinot
be moleSted 80 long as General Arthur can
protect him. The present atmosphere OF
scandal recalls the subject and the charac'
ter Of the REASONS which, it is alleged, pro-
tcct Iiazen from all the accumulated rea-
sons for his removal.

TEMPERANCE IN PLAIEFIELD,N Nj
The Red-Ribbon People In Full Possession
OF the Town.

Plainfie,d, N. j., telegram says: The
iempefance-people took possession OF the
town to-day. Delegates OF both sexes
came from all parts Of the State, laden with
flowers and flags. A tidalwave OF the far
spreading Mabee and English prohibition
movement flooded the streets with red
ribboned advocates OF cold water and lem
onade. The indies Of the Reform Club
alone dipped out from hogsheads OF the
latter beverage TO the thirsty visitors, from
the basement OF a church. Tanks OF ice
water and small boys with cups and pals
were surrounded at every corner.
Withal. the fourteen liquor saloons which
are struggling for existence did flourish
ing business. Some Of them offered free
drinks TO men who would surrender the
led ribbon.
All this iestiyity was becalse the Plain
field Reform Club has bought building
and dedicated it TO the warriors against
rum. Since the temperance revival here
last February the movement has run OH
with a boom. The Prohibitionists have
called into their ranks all the enthusiastic
young men and women and two thirds Of
the voters In the town. They elected the
present Mayor, W. b. MaXson, who was
conspicuous in tie exercises to-day.
They have reduced the liquor saloons
10 minimum, and by refusing
TO renew licenses mean to wipe them
out altogether. The Reform Club has
purchased the old Baptist Church in Cen.
trial avenue, and furnished ii ~ an associa-
ticn building. Recreations calculated to
attract young men from the liquor saloons
viii be provided. The artist, Julian Scott.
who signed tie pledge during the recent
excitement, has covered one wall OF the
building with an alegoIical picture repre-
sCnting Temperance urging four-borSe
chariot through the clouds at Il tearing
race. trampling over the demon Rum. The
Angel oi Peace and the Child OF Hope strew
the cloudy way with flowers.
Al the dedicating services this afternoon
tie little building was crowded. The
presidents OF the different State delega-
tions were put on Il platform. Some OF the
Manhattan Temperance organization, from
New York. brought Mr.. Gibbs with them.
Some Of the men who made the best speech
- only six months ago used 10 take their
whiskcy STRAIGHT. The Reform Club has
row more tlan SEQ members, and more
th,n 1000 signatures. Mr.. Horace Waters.
Of New York. attempted to inject It. John
and Daniels into Il speech. but the audi
ence didn't seem TO like il. The festiyl-
ties had no political Significance what
ever. After the dedicatory services were
finished the men formed in line and marched
through The streets with their banners in
the hottest part Of the day. Exhausted
and weary they fled into the First Baptist
church and were fed and refreshed by the
young ladies OF the club and brass band.
The display and arrangement Of flowers
was really beautiful. \ big rcinion, in
