Hom..L.epInx,n I'm France.

Under the title of "The French Cook
m Her Native Land, Fannie @. w Bar
oour, in the Chdutduqudn, gives an I'M
teresting paper ON housekeeping in
France, from an actual experience OF four
years.
Two-thirds of the inhabitants of French
towns live in furnished apartments.
You can enter such an apartment at q
lays notice. The rooms are usually fur
nished with all necessaries, such as bed
and table linen, silver, cutlery, down TO
Tie regulation six white aud six blue
aprons for the cook.
In selecting cook you simply go to
hrst class agent, explain precisely what
sort of a servant yoI desire, and in few
hours you are talking over the coming
dinner with her.
This blue aproned, white capped, tidy
person expects no day out, nor does she
use her kitchen as a meeting place for
friends
The wages of cook vary from s. TO
BIZ month. The latter price commands
person who can cook an elaborate din.
Ger without outside assistance. A man
cook receives from $12 to $50 month in
4 private family.
There are few privileges which the
sook considers hers by right: Three and
one-half quarts of wine week must be
provided. This costs from IS cents to
$3.50 per dozen bottles, and is most
likely weakened by water, but not alco-
holic.
A second privilege is her five per cent
commission, granted ungrudgingly by
all the tradesmen with whom her mis-
tress deals.
The morning meal of the French do
nestle consists simply of black coffee
with sugar, and bread without butter,
but she insists upon having soup and
salad of some kind for her dinner.
The salad she will make out OF any
thing that is left over. such as few
slices of beef, the outside leaves of let
suce, cold boiled potatoes, or even a few
1andelion leaves.
The French cook never wastes any
hing, and seasoning is her forte.
The washing and bread and cakemak-
ing are done outside, but this is not SO
expensive as it seems, for the prices
charged are extremely low, and vary
according to the size Of the article.
When Monday comes, and there are
40 cold dinners, no cross cooks or untidy
mattresses, but all things running
smoothly as on other days, one feels that
The French could teach us something
about housekeeping made easy.

Ancient Dentistry.

There was great deal of interest felt
among dentists some years ago when one
Of the royal mummies taken from the
Egyptian catacombs was found to be
fitted out with an upper set Of artificial
teeth. The plate was of wood, carved to
ft the roof Of the mouth, and the teeth
were of brass, the natural shape of the
tooth being quite closely initiated. Il
shows that some one Of the Pharaohs felt
the loss of his incisors and grinders and
had the court tooth doctor do the best
that could be done for him. Before this
discovery it was commonly supposed that
artificial teeth were a modern contriv-
Ance, but false teeth in ancient Egypt

DEATH IN THE FLOOD.
CORoNER's INQUEsTs AT WHINING.
TON AND MoNRovIA.
The Drowning of Sevirano Lawrence at
Watson's Crossing and of the Wells
Family at Monroyia.

Coroner Weldon returned from Will
mington Yesterday morning, where he
held an inquest on the body of Sevirano
Lawrence on Tuesday night, and at once
proceeded to Monrovia to investigate
the death OF Joseph Wells by the flood
of Sunday night, getting back to the
city again late yesterday afternoon. AS
far as the coroner is informed at pres
ent, the drowning of Lawrence at
Wilmington, and of Mr.. and Mrs. Wells
and their baby at Duarte, are the only
casualties which occurred during the
flood, no other report of loss Of life hav-
ing been authenticated.
The inquest on the body OF Lawrence
brought out the facts that he was ma
tive OF Spain, 80 years of age, and was
employed by M. G. Watson at his cheese
factory, at Watson's crossing, near Will
mington. On Monday he started out to
drive Watson's cattle to place OF safety,
and attempted to ford the river, which
was then mile and half wide. When
last seen he was standing on knoll
about 100 yards from shore. His horse
was found at the corral Tuesday morn
ing, and the body was found later about
a quarter of mile from Watson's house.
The story OF the drowning of Mr.. and
Mrs. Wells and their baby at Duarte is
told by J. G. Chambers, who lived in
the same house with them. Wells was
but 22 years of age, and had but re-
Gently come from Iowa. Last Monday
morning at 3 O'Clock, Chambers was
awakened by the storm, and looking out
of the window he saw that the house
was surrounded by the overflow OF the
San Gabriel river. He aroused Mr.. and
Mrs. Wells and went down to the barn
to see to the horses. Chicken coops
and everything else movable were be-
ing swept off by the current, which was
running rapidly.
the house at once, but he persuaded
them to wait till daylight. At 6 O'Clock
they started out to reach higher land.
They waded from knoll to knoll and
| finally came to ravine on the other
Chambers was afraid to cross the
ravine, and wanted to take the baby
back to the house for safety. but Wells
asked him to help Mrs. Wells across the
stream while he looked after the child.
Chambers made an attempt to cross
with Mrs. Wells, but they were soon
washed from their feet and separated,
Mrs. Wells being carried down with the
flood. Chambers succeeded in reaching
the shore, but Wells and the baby had
disappeared. The last seen of the un-
fortunate man was when he was stand
ing on the knoll with the baby in his
arms. This was at 8 O'Clock Monday
morning, about half mile south OF the
Duarte depot.
E. M. Wardell found Wells baby
Tuesday near an irrigating ditch and
took it to an undertaker's' in Monrovia,
where the inquest was held.

Consumption. The truth is the very opposite.
They are more liable to fall into Consumption
because they have the Asthma. Another idea
is that the Asthma itself is not dangerous dis

great numbers lose their lives every year by
this foul destroyer of our homes.
