in Cold Baths,

The annual exhibition OF the Cooks and
Pastry Cooks Association Of New York
will take place on the 10th of this month
at Madison Square Garden, and will be as
attractive to the fair sex of the city as was
the occasion of the chrysanthemum or
horse show. The members OF the associa-
tion will produce fine works OF art IN
ielly. blanc mango and colored sugars, and
they will also vie with each other for
prizes for various kinds of cooking and for
liable decorations and their adOrnment.
IL IS said that this year the culinary and
ornamental exhibits will far surpass in
number and excellence those Of any former
year.
Every woman, whether of high or low
degree, prides herself on being able TO
make a table attractive and a stimulant
to appetite and gastronomic enjoyment.
She also thinks she knows all about
cookery and its many mysteries. But If
she strolls into the garden on the l9tn, she
will gain much information and many lit
tie tips on both these important subjects.
Every woman who attends will be pre-
sented with a souvenir of their skill.
The value Of systematic housekeeping
can hardly be overrated in any particular.
By it's assistance labor and fatigue are
saved and leisure gained to the housewife,
while its aid in the training of children
and servants is beyond estimate. All good

The New York Sun narrates that a
farmer named Purdy, who lives on the
shore OF Lake Kenka, had a flock of
eleven geese in that lake. A week ago
a flock of dozen wild geese were fly
ing south over the lake, and noticing
their tame relatives, alighted. Farmer
Purdy heard a noisy cackling and
rushed for his gun to capture a wild
goose or two. But he was too late.
The wild geese rose to depart and,
strange to say, the tame flock went
with them. The farmer was discon-
ISOLATE at the loss OF his geese. A week
later he noticed flock OF geese trav-
cling north. He noted the movement
as queer at this season, but bent on
revenge for his loss, prepared his gun
and succeeded in killing two before he
discovered that they were his own
geese returned. The nine living ones
seemed delighted with their home,
now they know what the world con
tains, and the neighborhood is specu
lating upon the extent Of their wan
behring's and the wonderful instinct tina
led them back to the place where the!

A Beautiful Young Lady Rattles a

A timid young man was visiting a
beautiful and accomplished young
lady, residing on Warren avenue, Chica-
go. wheh, after pause: she said, look
ing at him closely:

Then, without waiting to put on his
overcoat, he tried to make his exit
through the door of a cupboard.
Why" said the young woman,
lifting her eyebrows in surprise, Il
simply wanted you to escort me to my
sisters on Hoyne avenue"

where He WINS Buried.

The place where Captain Miles
Standish. The warrior chieftain OF
the early settlers at Plymouth, Mass.
was buried is believed to have been
established beyond doubt. According
TO tradition. he was laid at rest in an
old burial ground, between the bodies
OF his daughter Lora and his daughter
in.law Mary Standish, the grave being
marked by two triangular pyramidal
stones. A grave answering this
description was recently opened at
Duxbury, Mass, by the local rural
society and found to contain the bones
OF an old and powerfully built man. In
graves at either side were the bones OF
two young women, and further along
in the row were the graves OF two
children, supposed to be Miles Stand
ish's sons who died in boyhood.

THE TUNNEL SEEMED BONO:
A Postal Clerks Pcrllous Ride In the
Sliding Darkness.

A thrilling experience. although not
ending fatally, was had by a railway
mail clerk, who acted as distributor
on local train. He had a car to
himself, and at one station up In the
Allegheny mountains had left his car
for minute or two to run forward to
the engine, which was taking water.
The water tank was directly west OF
the great tuinnet and when the tender
was filed and the traiff started the
clerk sprang for his car. The en-
trance to the car was on the side and
a solitsry handle was grasped, where
by the clerk pulled himself up to the
door. To his horror he found that
the door had been Jared shut and
could not be opened from the outside,
and the second he discovered this fact
the train shot into the tunnel. With
desperation born Of d terrible death
staring him in the face the clerk ham
mered and kicked on the door and
shrieked for help but the noise OF the
train drowned his cries. and with both
hands grasping the handle, his feet on
the iron step and his body glued to the
side of the car; fof fear OF, being
dashed off by the jagged sides, he @sts
carried through the tunnel.
AS the tunnel is mile long and the
atmosphere therein is almost sitting
this luSkless mail clerks experience
can better be imagined than described.
When the train shot into daylight
again the engineer looked back, as Is
the custom to see il his train was fol-
lowing all right and discovered the
clerk in his narrowing position.
Quickly stopping his engine the en-
gineer ran back, and with the assist
ance OF the conductor, helped the al
most demented man TO the ground,
where he utterly collapsed, the strain
upon his nerves being too great. For
six months he was under physicians
care, and after he had become a well
man again, said II thought that
tunnel was ten miles long, and my
head, ! imagined was hollow, with
the dense smoke rushing in my mouth
and nostrils and coming out at my
ears like steampipos. Whenever l
think of that ride my brain reels and
/ feel myself crouching as / did upon
the eutside Of the car during that
horrifying experience. Washington

ANCIENT AND MODERN.
Women rs They Used to Dc aud as They
Are.

II you had examined into the facts
OF the case you would have discovered
that the women OF heather Rome, for
instance, took much better care Of
their systems than the Christian ladies
OF this knowing era take OF theirs.
They wore loose garments that gave
their lungs and limbs full play. Their
muscles were systematically developed
and educated, and they were inhibited
by law from all usages and practices
likely TO impair their health or their
constitutions. Hence their sons were
the hardest race Of men that the world
had ever seen--hence for seven hun
dred years Rome triumphed over all
her enemies. We talk OF the Roman
fathers, but it was to the habits OF the
Roman mothers, and the vigor engen-
dered by those habits, that the repub-
lie and the empire largely owed their
greatness. Even yet the figures Of the
-Itulian S-umeu siIpys Une inherited ef-
feet of the old training. American
ladies are very lovely, but in the ma
jority of cases they are too delicate,
too fragile. They are as lovely as
flowers, but not as hardy as oaks. We
have plenty Of strong-minded women,
but comparatively few that are physic-
ally vigorous. The same thing may
be said OF the men. And, inasmuch
as the best head may be rendered OF
no avail by reason of incompetent bod
lily support we think it would be bet
ter for us all If we would pay more at
tention to health, no matter what else
might have to be neglected.-New

Inc truo site Of the Garden of Eden
has been the subject of almost endless
conjecture. The three continents of the
Old World have been gone over by the
ologians in vain search for Its most
probable location. From China to the
Canary Islands, from the Mountains of
the Moon to the coast of the Baltic
each country has been the subject Of
search and no spot supposed 10 cor

scrlptural description OF the first abode
OF the human race has been left un-
examined. The most ancient opinion,
which is given by Josephus, is that il
was In the country which lies beween
the Ganges and the Nile. This view
imaglnes Eden as being very widely
extended territory, embracing all OF
the country from the Indus on the
east to the Nile on the west. As the
Garden" is said to, have been Ito the
eastward iii Eden" 1t is placed def
nitely in the valley of the Euphrates.
Won Hammer, the famous Oriental
scholar, places Eden in Bactria others
locate it in Babylonia, at the confluence
of the Euphtates ind tie Tigris.
Captain MILFORD, aprofound student of
Hindoo antiquities, has labored to loo
ate Eden in Bamian, south of the Koosh
range of mountains. Buttman puts it
down in India; Heider, in his History
OF Mankind, identifies it with the Vale
Of Cashmere; the Orientais (tf!afy
sects of them) believe that it was on
the Isle OF Ceylon, while the Greeks
place it at Beth-Eden, on Lebanon.
Lastly, many regard the whole story
as given in Genesis as myth.
