HOW TO MARKET.

A Chicago reporter once had sister who
went to Vassar college, and, among other
things, learned how to make bread at least
80 she said. Upon her return home the young
man, being professionally of an inquiriug
turn of mind, asked her to favor
him with the details of the pro-
cess-not necessarily for publication, but
merely as guarantee of good faith
Bread ahem! Yes, let me sec," said the
maiden. We studied that in our first year
You see, the yeast ferments, and the gas
thus formed permeates everywhere and
transforms the plastic material into clearly
obvious atomic structure, and then" "But
what is the plastic material you speak Of ~
"Oh that is commonly called the sponge.
"But how do you make the sponge" "Why,
we don't make it the cook always attends
to that. Then we test the sponge with the
thermometer and hydrometer and lot of
| other instruments, the names OF which |
don't remember, and then hand it back to
the cook, and don't know what she does
with it them but when it comes on the table
it Is jus, splendid"
Somewhat OF the same nature, we fancy,
is young housekeeper's idea OF marketing.
The theory Of 1t is fascinating. A little
home q ones own; little fancy market
basket, decorated with ribbons; Il little
walk to the corner market delightful lit

dispenses ediblcs little ten-pound, roast
for two, cut as you please, with garnishings
| to match; little smile at parting-a play
| full wave of the empty market basket, and
an injunction to be prompt, 'for Charlie is
| so particular, you know; and then little
pouting when Charlie laughs immoderately at
the size and sinew Of the cut, and little
quarrel when the roast lasts all the week
| this is about the complexion of amateur
marketing which is to be matched nova
days with love in a cottage.
But great reform is, happily, at hand,
| with the establishment Of cooking schools
and institutions for the promotion OF practi-
cal house keeping throughout the land. Bos-
ton, the centre Of New England culture, and
the home of the baked bean, is fifty the lead
er in this great scheme Of reformation. The
Hub has an academy devoted exclusively to
the great art of cooking and its related
branches. A Irregular course OF lectures upon
practical topics is given every season, and the
course is attended by hundreds Of Bos,ons
blooming high bred damsels.
The last lecture before the school was up
on the exceedingly important topic, "How to
Market" 1t was delivered by well-known
meat dealer Of the Hub, whose gallantry
50 entirely overcame the professional
prejudices of his guild as TO force from him
the most valuable secrets OF the trade, and
leave the unprotected markets Of the whole
country at the mercy Of the hitherto dove
like housewife. His instructions were Of
such vastly practical interest, that we canno'

The latest English scandal is the breach Of

herself into the hands of her friends, and

sided so long and well, was at the fu-
neral of Mr.. Kaufman, of Texas, in

manned well wrapped up and unvarying

the power of his eloquence he could con

face shrunken and shriveled, his eyes
lustreless and heavy, his mouth In repose
only when open and expressionless, he
seemed to have so long since passed into
the lean and slippered pantaloon as

counters of the Senate. And yet, with a
