mothers. Girls, like men, are initiative

for this reason, probably. that mothers
gave over cooking entirely. Now that
the practice is confined exclusively to
ladies imported from abroad who are
wholly deficient in that superior @s-

girls would sooner do anything or
nothing, than encounter the profana-
ton of the touch of uncooked provis-
ions, or have aught to do with the COM
pilation of sustenance for the vulgar
physical system.
Therefore, as we said above, it is best,
generally speaking, to keep the food in

The following achievment of lad in
but robust health is adduced
in illustration of the alimentary powers
of the small boy. This is what he ate
in one day. IS ,sS
Eight ounces of oatmeal.
Seven ounces and half of butter.
Ten quarts of water (estimated).
Seventeen hot biscuits. -.
Thirty-eight griddle cakes.
Ten potatoes 1large).
Three pounds of beef. 49, f,sr

Twelve slices of cake, eighteen
cookies, twelve doughnuts and three

four pounds lestimated).
We have possibly omitted some of the
tens; but although the list may be de- .
ectlve, it is sufficient evidence of the
possibilities of the small boy as food
destroyer.
