Cooking.

So large portion of our lives is devoted
TO eating that it seems quite proper and
really important that we should give much
attention 20 the preparation Of food We
have occasionally urged in these columns,
that the culinary art be made a study BY
women in all walks of life 50 that the best
results may be secured for the table: for
brain is as much a factor in cooking as in
Painting picture or writing book The
mass of people cook as the gentleman from
the Evergreen Isle fiddled-nOt by ear
or by note, but by main strength.
They boil the potatoes and the
q eIt, OF take the rawneSs out Of them by
sDme other process. and that is all. There
l. no thought of securing flavor. The food
is prepared to fill the stomach, simply, and
not to meet in the highest degree the taste
of the eater.
We are glad to know that interest in this
profession of preparing food, for it is
profession. is being manifested in this city,
and that well-to-do women are discovering
that they have duty, if not a mission, in
this direction. Cooking is worthy of the
attention and muscular inve .tment of the
most refined and cultivated lady. If she
makes herself a mistress of it she may add
greatly TO the attractiveneSs and comfort of
her home. A mans wife ought to be the
best cook in the wOrld-tO her husband.
and she should have no formidable rival
ex -ept in her daughter
Let it be understood that all food should
be palatable and that its appearance on the
table should be timely and seaSOnable.

to cover not only scientific points. but any
question which might arise as to which

There are foods for December, and foods
for May, and foods for August. and the
faculty, or gift or requirement, OF dis

make it acceptable but it will promote di-

suits from his food and he cannot be

Neither wealth nor poverty is All excuse for
these defects. A good cook. who has given

fragrance from the steaming dishes on her
table and impaTt to them an almost heay-

material and for preparation that is in

half-cuoked rubbish, in wholesale way,

The cook is of more import

Bad cooking often produces an unhealthy
appetite, an abnormal craving which leads
men into bad ways. Many an appetite for
drink has been caused by fiabby steaks and
other fiavOrleSS food.
The good cook should be exalted and
honored and it should be one of the highest

a confederate ,raucn FACTORY.
ATLANTA Constitution. !


The first match factory in the Confed-
eracy WIS in or rather near Atlanta. The
owner was an Atlanta man. These matches
were sold from Richmond to the gulf Un-
like some Of our recent experiments in tn at
line, there was no trouble about igniting the
matches A man did not have to strike one
sixteen times and finally hit il on the head
with hammer. or light it by the fire HIS
main trouble was to keep the thing from
going off prematureiy, and the only effect
usl safeguard was to keep it in a bottle OF
water.
They were the most utterly too previous
matches ever seen in this or any other
country. The enterprise was never profitable
because half the stock was invariably lost
by spontaneous combustion. Wagon loads
Of matches On their way from the factory
to the city would burst into a blaze half way
on the road soaring the drivers and their
mules out of their senses.
