Is the Process Of Cooking a
knack?

Ii is said that there is a ''knack' IN
cooking. If this means that there IS a
a sort of separate sense or instinct which
enables its possessor to cook well, and de-
bars them that do not have it from ever ac-
curing a proficiency in that direction, we
deny il. In cooking as in every other
kind of work, earnestness and brains are
the two needful requisite to success. though
these NAV fail of the highest, unless ac-
companied by an acute and cultivated
sense of taste. The art of tasting must
be learned and practiced faithfully, II one
would become good cook As pud-
ding or gravy, or a soup approaches Us
final stage of preparation, 1t should inVa-
variably be tasted, until long experience
has made one sure that 1t IS neither TOO
salt nor too sweet, too peppery nor too
fat. A teacup and teaspoon should stand
beside the range. tor this purpose, though
il IL. of course, unnecessary to say that
the tasting spoon should never be intro
duced into the kettle. Another kind OF
knowledge Indispensable to good cook,
is thorough understanding of the range
or stove upon which one is cooking. No
matter how carefully thing is compound
ed. il it IS imperiectly boiled or baked. or
fried, it is spoiled. Be sure that every
damper and draft is understood before un-
dertaking to cook with new range. Then
be sure that the ovens are right. that there
is Just coal or wood enough in the
fire and that the heat Is likelyt to be .'even"
while the cooking is going on. As IN
painting it is necessary to understand
anatomy and natural history. and dozen
other departments which at first would not
occur to one as connected in the least with
ANYTHING artistic, so in cooking. the de-
partments of good eating and of the man.
agement of stoves and ranges must be I'M
derstood before any culinary heights can
be attained. / set it down as an incOntro-
vertible fact that person who does not
know good cooking-and there are thou
sands of such people-can never make
good cook himself; that person who
does not know good butter from poor
who uncomplaingly eats sour or ''soggy'
bread, day after day. not knowing but that
he is we'll served; whose doughnuts are
soaked with fat whose roast beef is dry
and burned, and whose steaks are smoky
and juiceless-that such person will
never be good cook Also, it is conced-
ed on all sides, that person long in the
habit of incorrect cooking is incapable of
learning better, which. indeed, is implied
in what has been said before. Ii your
poor cook is a mature woman and does
display uncommon earnestness, or remark
able acuteness, she is hopeless case.
Discharge her and get younger one. In
youth alone, in such case, is there hope.

Housekeeping and Housekeeping.

We are apt to consider the necessary
work that the household requires nothing
but drudgery. Do we, who have the sup
erintendence of the homework. strive to
make it just what it ought to be? 1t is the
work of our homes, the most blessed work
that woman can do, for, from our homes.
the influence goes out all over the land to
make the rising generation better or
worse.
1t is not only housekeeping. but some
thing more. 1t is housekeeping. 1t is not
the mechanical performance of round of
duties each day. but it is an art that brings
into use all our latent ingenuity. and re-
quires keen sense of the beautiful, with
firmness and perseverance to overcome all
the petty trials and difficulties that are
forever crowding around the path of the
housekeeper.
Home keeping is an art that requires
just as finished an education, and as thor
ougL practice to become an adept. as
what are termed the "fine arts but why
the fine arts | know not, for if home
keeping is not one of the fine arts, what
is?
And should we not toll as increasingly
through all these little duties, doing faith
rully. still not dwelling too much on the
trivial. but through all keeping and rec
ognzing a higher beauty that shall bless
us while we labor. and make lifes picture
perfect in its completeness
Order and harmony should be every
housewives motto. as the old saying, "a
place for everything. and everything in
its place" do not say that the bread
should never be burned, or the room
never be Uttered for all these things will
sometimes happen to the best of house
keepers. But do say there should be
neatness and order, not meaning that
every chair should be set back as though
it was glued there, and the whole house
wear a look of primness and GOODNESS that
repels one. and dampens the spirit OF
every one that comes in. but that all things
should be refined and perfectly natural,
from the kitchen to the parlor, and all
blend and harmonic in true beauty, with
out confusion or disorder. Every house
keeper can and should be Just as much q
