COOKING.

"What does cooking mean?' says Ruskiu. cit
means the knowledge of Medea, and of Gree and
of Calypso. and of Helen, and of Rebeckah, and
of the Queen of Sheba 1t means the knowledge
of all herbs, and fruits, and balms, and spices,
and of all that is healing and sweet in fields and
groves, and savory in meats. 1t means careful
ness, and inventveness, and watchfulness and
willingness, and readiness of appliance. 1t means
the economy of your grandmother and the
science of modern chemists. 1t means much
tasting and no wasting. 1t means English thor
oughness and French art and Arabian hospitality.
1t means, in fine that you are to be perfectly and
always ladies - loaf-givers and as you are
to see imperatively that everybody has something
pretty to put on, so you are to see, yet more i'm
peratively, that everybody has something nice
to eat"
One almost loses sight of the stern realities that
stare one in the face from every nook and corner
in the culinary department No one treats a sub
ject 50 delightfully."- as Mr.. Ruskin-particulary
the topics that pertain to women. In your i'm
agination you tie yellow satin ribbon on the
toasting-fork and suspend it from dangle board
with glded hooks; in your heart you know Mr..
Ruskn would appreciate it. In contemplation of
the Arabian hospitality, and the spices and the
balms, one desires to do cooking at once, and all
but forgets the various other requirements.
Ask woman, What does cooking mean? 1t
means the patience of Job and the persistence of
the pilgrim fathers; the endurance, the long suf-

entire evening to music of this class. 1t has,
however, been demonstrated that many people
who are not highly educated in music do like good
music when well played. The interest has steadily
grown from the first; those who have attended
have generally returned. Much of the success of
the course has been due to the teachers who have
attended. They have steadily supported the
musicians and secured recognition for the better
numbers played and have done all in their power
for good music.
This course was inaugurated by the music
teachers and the subscription secured by per-
sonal canvass, that it may readily be seen that
Little Rock has number of teachers who are
willing to cooperate for the general good without
hope of personal reward. No class of instru-
mental music has a higher educational value than
chamber music, and yet it has largely been driven
out of our American cities by the star system,
which operates to ruin home musical development
wherever introduced
This course of six recitals has been of more
value unsteady to our city than four times that
number of star performances, Our people are to
be commended for the interest they have taken in
these recitals. 1t is hoped that on Monday night
the Y. NJ. G. A. rooms will be filled to hear the
last of the course and that all who desire to re-
tain the services of Prof Chapek for another year
will come prepared to subscribe for the season of
'S8 and 'S9.
Officers for the permanent club will be elected
at the last recital, and all interested should be
present. @

If your duty be there,
For fulfllment of duty Is eloquent prayer,
Labor is worship.


Labor is worship,
1t means crown and harp and clear title to
an estate in heaven. 1t means that the gates of
everlasting life shall be opened wide to admit the
woman whose soul has been purified in the service
of her fellow man, such as she alone can give.
Does she not hold the happiness of her family in
the hollow of her hand? Must she not devote her
brains to the service of her hands? From her
Judgment and reason she must evolve triumphs
that depend on salt and pepper and spices and
herbs She must know how soon, and how long,
and how much, and how often. She must know
quality and quantity and cost. She must serve
the butcher, and the baker, and the candlestick-
maker. Then she must rise above it ALL and q be
lady-a loaf-gver."
Right in here comes the servant question. 1t is
the one unsolvable problem that threatens to I'M
dermine the homes and domestic happiness of this
entire country to-day. AS distressing as anarchy,
as incurable as poverty. Gail Hamilton says;
" With two-thirds of the women in the large cities
suffering for the necessaries Of life and smartng
under starvation wages in the factories; on the
other hand, the comfortable homes are made all
but desolate fer theiwant Of competent servants
Something is wrong somewhere and the question
is, How shall it be rightedY
We are not generation of cooks, and the com
ing generation bids fair to think it of even less i'm
portance than the present one. A woman who is
an inefficient worker is an Indifferent overseer.
Herein lies one secret of the present deplorabe
condition of affairs. With all the qualities re-
CURED in cook the supernatural powers must be
inherent in order to fill the bill We forthwith take
a brainess, untidy, fragrant Blousabella into our
kitchens and place in her hands the happiness the
temporal welfare, aye even the SOULS salvation of
the entire family. The system is wretched.
Bad tempers are cultivated, boarding houses are
crowded, and housekeeping is a bug bear.
The North American Review dealt with the sub
ject at length not long ago. The outcome was
this: "The fact that intelligent young women
aspire to positions above that of house servants is
only an illustration of the progresSiveness of our
country He saw no help for it.
This being the case, it behooves the race of
housekeepers to place the helper on higher plane
socially and to remove the degradation that is in
the atmosphere of the culinary department. This
she can do by lending her own presence and by
impartng some of her own intelligence to the dull
brain of the domestic. A generation hence per-
haps the deplorabe state of affairs craven on the
corner stone of domestic happiness will cause
reaction, and mayhap the thrift and efficiency of
our granddaughter will eclipse what Mr.. Ruskin
so gracefully refers to as the economy OF our

"Better know one thing well than
many indifferently, was the rule By
which the children of the last generation
were trained, while a good education was
thought to be a growth of years and
careful, patient study, and not to DO
forced by the hotbed process now too
much in vogue. 1t was thought, too,
that no education could be complete I'M
less there was first q solid foundation on
which to build, the bottom layer of said
foundation being a thorough knowledge
of reading, writing and spelling, geog-
raphy, arithmetic, history and grammar.
These are homely accomplishments, but
far more necessary 80 ones success in
life as a scholar than a mere smattering
of the higher branches and an ambitious
attempt at an essay, which may have in

spelling and grammar are concerned.

The discovery by the inhabitants of a
locality hitherto unvisited by the pestilent
scourge of fever and ague, that it exists
in their very midst, is decidedly startling.
Such discoveries are made at every sea
son, in every part of the Union. Subse-
quently, when it is ascertained as at such
times, through the valuable experience
of some one who has been benefited and
cured, that H%ostteter's Stomach Bitters
is a thoroughly eficacious eradicator OF
the malarial poison, and a means Of
certifying the system against it, a feeling
of more security and tranquility reigns
throughout the whole neighborhood.
Besides the febrile forms of malariaI
disease, dumb ague and ague cake are
removed by the potent action of the
Bitters, to which science also gives its
sanction as a remedy for rheumatism,
dyspepsia, constipation, liver complaint,
debility, kidney troubles, and all diseases

STIRRING UP THE ANIMALS.

The Chicago Inter Ocean appears with
an editorial of a column in length in which
it takes the Illinois penitentiary commits
%sioncrs to ask for contracting to receive
and maintain Wyoming prisoners at the
rate of twenty-five cents a day per head.
Commenting on this report, which it ap-
parently does not think well founded, it
says: The cost of maintaining our penal
and rcformatory institutions is already
very large. The public have in nc uncer-
tain way repeatedly called attention to
this. 1t is questionable financiering, to
say the least, for Illinois to erect cell
houses to accommodate ~convicts, when
such houses cost not far from $1,000 a
convict; and then. when the state has
scarcely room for its own f%clons, to pro-
coed to receive %convicts from abroad at
twenty-five cents per day per capita, or at
less than three ffths what the cost is for
keeping such convict, and no account
taken of the cost of or interest on the
plant, i. G., cell houses, lands, shops, etc,
to the state.
Another thing is that the state not
only loses by taking in United States or
territorial convicts, but also deprives it
self of the opportunity or introducing into
its prisons the best and most approved
methods for the reformation of its W
criminals. The rcformntory branch re-
quires the room taken by these foreign
convicts. The single-ccll plan is impossi-
BILE in either Joliet or Chester, as there
are two c%onvicts in the great majority Of
the cells in both pcnitentiaries. The i'm
proved system in New York, Pcnnsylva-
aia and Ohio is leading strongly to the re-
furmatory ideal, and this can only be ef-
fected where such conditions prevail as are
found under the management of men like
Baker and Brockway in the empire state.
The people of Illinois do not favor a
return to the contract convict labor sys-
ten exc pit by legally recognized means.
And they are DESTROYS of knowing, first,
if this information is correct regarding
Illinois taking Wyoming's convicts at
p cents a day; and, second, if that is
not violation of the clearly stated, well
understood, and frequently repeated
pledge made by the Illinois pcuitentiary
commissioners during the session of the
last legislature 2"

The same precautions against fire are
taken in Moscow and st. Petersburg to-
day that were in use a century ago.
Scores of fire towers are everywhere
seen. They run up about seventy five to
100 feet, are built like n lighthouse, with
winding stairway, and have a platform
all around the top, where the Waterman
patrols day and night. If n fire is dis
covered n signal is given and the fire de-
partment turns out. 1t was only recently
that st. Petersburg, the capital, with
hundreds of millions Of government prop
crty, secured n steam fire engine. And
that is q poor, old fashioned affair. The
hand engine does service there yet, as in
most other cities III the empire. When n
fire breaks out the streets are cleared for
such n department display as an Amer
lean town would make; people go wild,
talk loud, get in the way, and when the
fire burns out the department goes back
to watch the towers for another signal

When the discovery is once made that,
even apart from any merit of ones own,
there Is an audience provided in advance
by thee energy of publishers and editor,
the sense of responsibility becomes very
great, and with it the feeling that per-
hapS, e if whatNbne writes is not very
good or important, it may assume a GER
tain merit through reaching some one
who needs just that word. A clever
once said that an orator must
speak with much more confidence to an
audience of five thousand than to one of
a hundred, because among the hundred
there might be no n who cared for the
particular thing he was saying, whereas
among the larger multitude there would
probably be at least one. ThNs the
writer for any journal that circulates by
the hundred thousand may feel that there
is a reader always awaiting him some
where, and who knows but what he says
may fit the precise need of that one?
Now, to nave one reader each week il
really a great thing when we consider
how much some stray scrap in n news
paper, perhaps not in itself especially
wise, has occasionally influenced our own
lives. Nothing encouraged me more to
undertake these papers than a remark of
my friend, Mr.. James Parton, who told
me that the one part of his literary life
of whose usefulness he felt absolutely
certain was the series of papers that he
contributed weekly during many years
to The New York Ledger. He rarely
heard from them again, he said-lt
seemed a good deal as if they had been
written and thrown into the sea-yet it
was on them that he relied to satisfy him
self that he had been of some real and
permanent use to somebody, in his long
career as 4 writer.-''T. W. H" in Har-

AMONG the questions now being con-
sidcred by the Burlington is that of ship
ping its coast hound freight over the
Union Pacific to Ogden from this city.
The present arrangement is TO ship it
from Denver bv the Rio Grande, which
neccssitates the breaking of bulk twice
and thus causing endless ANNOYANCE. If
the proposed arrangement is effected with
the Union Pacific the transfer can readily
be made here and quite as readily upon
reaching Ogden tue freight may be turned
over to the Central Pacific. The project
will probably be carried into effect so soon
as Mr.. Potter is in condition to get down
TO business again. This move would
make Cheyenne from the Jump an impor-
ttnt railroad point for the Burlington.

is applied to off colored and slightly yell

1t is rather odd, considering the age
and dense population of France, that that
country should be compelled opay boun-
ties to prevent an increase in the number
of wolves, yet that is what it has beer
doing for many years. In 1882 1923 were
