THE SCIENCE OF COOKING.
An Interesting Lecture by Hrs. Emma II
E,Cing at FaicoHer's Hall.
Omaha Herald.

Omaha Herald.
Mrs. Emma P. Ewing, who is to give
series of lessons in cookery at Miss
Wyman's school, addressed number
of ladies on that subject at Falconer's
hall, preparatory to opening the course.
She said that the art of cookery is the
most important of all arts ;zS4s; 1t is the
foundation stone that supports the
structure of humanity. Only upon the
basis of a well-ordered diet can individ-
uals or nations achieve a permanent
success: and no man or woman, unless
properly fed in the best sense of the
term, is fully equipped to 90 forth and
fight in the battle of life. Aclergyman
of rare knowledge has said that "a loaf
of bred touches every single quality
that goes to make up life and power
and success and if this be true of a
loaf of bread, who can estimate the pO-
tency for good or evil that lies within
the limits of the cooks domain? From
birth till death we are dependent upon
the products of the culinary depart
ment. and the health ind happiness OF
millions may with trufulness be said to
hang upon the kitchen crane, or gravi-
tate about the kitchen range. Bad cook
cry is the unsupported cause of many
an aching heart, the insidious destroy
er of many a happy home. 1t incites
domestic discord, induces Incorporate
habits, and ruins its victims physically,
mentally and morally. 1t is friend
to whatever degradeS and debases-a
foe to whatever elevates and enObles,
and is one of the most formidable evils
with which civilization and Christianity
have to contend. Many of the sins
and crimes of the world are due to i'm
proper food. 1t is almost impossible
for human beings with tastes and APP
petites Initiated and depraved by a mis-
cradle dietary, to lead clean, pure
lives Drunkenness often has its origin
in what we eat, and a large proportion
of the 10000 drunkards who die an
nually in this country have the appetite
for intoxicating liquors aggravated, if
not implanted, by the food which con-
stitutes their daily diet. Most of the
dishes comprising the regular bill OF
fare of private families, as well as OF
hotels and boarding houses. are so
wretchedly cooked, they are indigesti-
BILE, unsatisfying and innutritious; and
people compelled to subsist on such
fare become physically demOralized,
and often resort to stimulants as a tenn
porary relief from the discomforts and
ailments engendered by heavy pam
cakes, half-baked bread, grease-soaked
meats, watery vegetables and sloppy
coffee A deranged stomach bankers
after stimulants, and for many
feet the kitchen paves a path
way to the saloon. The average
individual is tolerably correct reflex
of his mental, moral and physical
pabulum; and the lives of most of US
are virtually effected by our dietic
habits. Only exceptional men and
women break away from the influences
that hem them in. and rise above the
level of their surroundings. A wide di-

lists and psychologists as to the nutritive
value of various articles of food; BUT
there is unity of sentiment in regard 10

fectly, without infaming the blood or
deranging the digestion. Every ounce
of force expended by the individual
man, or woman, in endeavoring to d.
gest and assimilate badly prepared
food, is simply the equivalent OF cor
responding amount of vital energy
needlessly wasted. And the struggle
for life against the numerous evils that
seem to be inseperably connected with
our modern social customs is so sharp
and intense that all the energy that we
can secure under the circumstances, Is
necessary to enable us to combat them
with any degree of success. CAN'T then
be denied that there exists in this coun-
try to-day, a greater need for the per-
feet preparation of food than has exist
ed at any period of the worlds history
Do not the conditions of our daily life
require it? Is not the preservation OF
of the national health dependent upon
it? Does every public and private con-
sideration imperatively demand it?

Bit Nye on the Thinker and His Thinks.

Thought, however, must be coupled
with energy and industry, or it may
come to naught. Many thoughts pro-
trude into the moist spring air only to
be gnawed off by the cut worm of neg
lect or slowly eaten by the squash BUG
of idle speculation. | once knew a man
whose brain was one of the most active
of his time, and yet his name is not
known beyond the limits of his own
school district. He had fine, scholar
ly mind, and yet his liver was torpid.
To show how nature likes to deal with
incongruities, l need only say that al
though this man was poet an and ar
fist in his mind, he ate pie with knife
and finally died in obscurity. He was
not practical with all his greatness, and
he walked down the long vista of life
holding up his pantaloons by single
nail! How often is this the case. Why
should men with the greatest mental
endowments be also most prone to gas
trio eccentricities9 And yet it is so. I
am that way myself. San.

Health, Hope and Happiness.
DIR. Foot's Health Monthly.

DIR. Foot's Health Monthly.
DIR. B. w. Richardson has wisely said
that the centre for happiness in the hui
man system is not in the brain, but in
the breast near the stomach and
heart He says: mo living being
ever felt happy in the head, it is felt as
from within the body. No man ever
felt miserable in the head. Every man
speaks of it as a failing at the centre of
life, an exhaustion or sinking there"
The Lancet follows up these statements
with the further explanation that
Felicity is physical result of brisk
and healthful circulation of blood
through the great sympathetic system
of nerves, and whatever quickens the
flow of blood in these parts engenders
the feeling called happiness. Every
thing in life and nature acts and reacts
in a circle. BY hope the sympathetic
ganglia will have the blood coursing
through them with the bound of health,
and this quickening of the pulse, if it
be produced by good cheer, will in its
turn, produce happiness"
In the Medical World we find the
same line of thought offered by DIR. W.
j. Haire, of Ohio. He says: '.Phy-
sicians make mistake if they treat
only. By agreeable emotions nervous
currents are liberated which stimulate
the blood, brain and viscera, The emo
tons of every person are of more i'm
portance to his health, happiness and
well-being than most physicians sup
pose. Agreeable emotions are curative
while disagreeable emotions produce
disease
In the Medical and surgical Reporter
we find DR.. j. Mortimer Granville's
statement of the ''value of hope as
a remedy against disease" He says:
''DO we not all know of cases of chronic
diseases in persons with hopeful dis
position, disease which we felt sure
would prove fatal. and yet we see them
go on day after day and year
after year, enjoying pretty good
health. We are familiar with the fact
that worry, mental anxiety, is diane
trically opposed to good health and
long life, and in this fact we recognize
the explanation of the influence of de-
pressing opinions and advice; for if we
tell Il man with nervous temperament
that he will die in Il few days, from that
moment all peace and contentment
yanishes from his life, while anxiety,
worry and unrest take possession of his
whole being"
There is nothing specially new in the
quotations we have here presented; but
it is perhaps little remarkable that
we find them all at once appearing in
different periodicals, and, from our
observations, people really need to be
frequently reminded of the relation be-
tween health, hope and happiness. Let
one who is disposed to be gloomy, have
sluggish circulation and faint feel
ing at the pit of the stomach, sit at
home and NOPE, and he will nurse his
melancholy, aggravate his disease and
maybe, even shorten his life But let
such one 90 out among his friends,
meet few jOvial people, and cause his
abdominal nerve-centres to vibrate
with hearty laughter, and he will find
that the blood circulation will be accel-
Grated, and he will be in all respects
better for it.
