MRS DRYDEN'S COOKBOOK.

There comes time in the life of every we'll
regulated woman when she feels strong desire
TO write cook book Usually she is dissuaded
by friends and her mind turned into other chan
nels but oftentimes the desire is irresistible, and
friends and relatives can only stand by and watch
the peculiar mania run its course. 1t is this that
makes the cook-books issued in the United States
exceed in numbers that of all other books com
bined. We have not time to-day to speculate as
TO whether or not there is any connection between
this immense number Of cook-bOoks and the
general prevalence Of dyspepsia among Americans
1T must suffice Oh this occasion TO give short
but exact account Of the experience OF Mrs.
Wolcott Dryden, Of Ithaca, this State, with a
cookbook, as made public in the curious suit Of
DRYDEN VS.. Keith, now interesting the Tompkins
County courts.
About O year ago Mrs. Dryden was smitten
with desire to write cookbook. Kind friends
did all they could for her, but to no purpose.
1t was thought that change of scene might do
her good and she sent to visit relatives In
Rome and Utica, and afterward her husband took
her for long rides in the country frequently driv
ing as far as Marathon, Venice, or Delphi, or to
Virgil. Scipo or Romulus, but when she returned
home she invariably retired to the kitchen and
taking out her pen, ink and paper, teacup, three
begin work on her book. The upshot of it was
that the book was finished in March and issued
from the press in May. 1t was called Mrs.
Dryden's Family Cookbook. Before we so
further we should say that Mrs. Dryden is an
excellent cook, probably the best in Ithaca. Her
book was neatly bound in green oilcloth and
was about an inch thick. In it were recipes, all
of which, Mrs Dryden explained in
the preface, she had tested personally,
for bread-puffs, pop-overs, angels food. pound
cake, floating island, gooseberry catsup puff paste
minute pudding. banana pie, citron preserves
orange marmalade, Chantllly custard, mock turtle
soup, blanc-mange, wheat gems, French wafiies
soda biscuit, caper sauce, Goldfish balls, almond
macaroons Martha Washington omeet, ten-minute
bunns, whipped cream and many other things
which il would tax our space too heavily TO name
The price Of the book was 81 and it Immediately
began TO have a large SALE not only in Ithaca and
Tompkins County, but in Palmyra, Athens, Garth
age, Pharsaia, Corinth, Attica, Memphis, Macedon,
Phoenicia and other neighboring towns distrib-
uted by the educated hand of forgotten classical
scholar Mrs. Dryden was elated and planned on
the best sealskin cloak in Ithaca for this winter
But trouble comes at the moment OF greatest
prosperity. There lives in ithaca certain Mrs
Balestier Keith Several years ago this lady had
q disagreement with Mrs, Dryden about the proper
color for the new church carrot Mrs. DRYDEN

the sum which the United States paid Tor
setting up the Constitution and appending it to
Mr.. Flowers speech OF December IA, 1882,
,vas wasted.n By no means. The time will
come-'et the hours are silently engendering the
day"-when Roswell Flowers great act VIII De
appreciated. A similar thing was done nearly
two hundred years earlier, when sagaclous ana
farsseng patriot slowed away the charter oil
Connecticut in the hollow OF an oak. 1t may
be that Roswell had this historic event in mind
when he slowed away the Constitution OF the
United States in 1.-THE Congressional Record"
Viewing thoughtfully the tattered remnants OF
the copy given him in his youth, he may have
said 10 himself: "At the rate things are now
going on the time will como when the Constltu-
ton will be entirely out of print; here Is my
own COPY, which has been my guiding star, al
most worn out | will have it put in safe
place. where future generations can get at it,"
Most people reasoning in this way would have
put it in the cornerstone OF something soild ana
freprocf but inaccessible. Roswell reasoned
better. and put it in "The Record"
And sometime in the coming ages, when the
solitary Blackwelrs Islander sits on crumbllng
pier Of the Brooklyn Bridge and wonders where
he can find some memento OF the Great Repuo-
lie whose industries were ruined by the Nc
Kinley Tariff and whose towns and cities were
depopulatcd by the Porter census, there will
come voice from some surviving Sycamore
or Wiskinsk in the neighborhood of Fourteenth
st.: "Look in The Congressional Record,

Session, pages 303306. Roswell Flower put

ROSVELDS CONSTITUTION.

The suggestion of "The Sum- that the passage
in Roswell Flowers famous speech in Congress
on December IA, 1882 quoting the Constitution
of the United States in full, should be included
in "Bartletts Familiar Quotations" has merit,
With it, of course, should 60 the introduction,
which was as follows: "The sentiment have
for that halowed instrument is scarcely to BIO
expressed. copy of it was given me when a
youth. Its tattered remnants are in my pocket
now. 1t has been the guiding star of my po-
litical existence, the light by which have read
the words of statesmen and the policies OF
parties. I beg leave to append to these remarks
the Constitution of the United States, docu-
ment which cannot be too widely disseminated,
an acquaintance with which makes every immi-
grant an American, and every American a
patriot" And with these words, in which, with
a little pardonabe confusion of immigrant and
emgrant. he made it manifest that he was in
favor of disseminating the Constitution-for, we
believe, 1t is now generally conceded that he
did not say " dissimulated," whatever might
have been the stenographers version-he gently
bestowed the Constitution of the United States
within the pages of "The Congressional
Record
Very few people caught on' to Flower-if
we may be allowed the expression-in this great
act. All around him in the House the buzz of
conversation went on members went in and
out of the cloak rooms, or wrote letters to con-
stituents, or clapped their hands for pages; the
pages went hustling about and doubtless at this
very moment Leopold Morse was walking up
and down in front OF the Speakers desk, chew
ing an unighted cigar, and appearing to the
- i'm oh utotoc nd
amid all this no one gave thought to the Con-
stituton of the United States. No one but Ros-
| well Flower. 1t may be that no one listened.
| That is also too often the case now when some
of the best speeches prepared in Newspaper
| Row" are in process of delivery from the manu-
script. And it is not probabe-so saturated is
| this age with doubt and unbelief-that il every
| body had been listening, more than one man
| in ten on the floor would have taken for
| corn Roswes assertion that he had in his
pocket the tattered remnants OF copy Of the
Constitution which had been given him in his
youth. There are so few people who have
copies of the Constitution given them in youth
And so few youths who carry the Constitution
in their pockets till it gets tattered The
chances are that if there had been listeners
some irreverent and unbelieving person among
them would have called Roswell down with the
inquiry, "What are you giving us?" or, may
hap, asked him to show up the tattered rem
nants.
All the same, there stood Roswell performing
his great act. And it was a great act. That
| is. it will be 50 considered when it gets into q
historic perspective. We do not agree with our
usually correct contemporary, The Suns that

and Socialism in Germany may be estimated by
the fact that during the last twelve months the
trades unions of the Embellishments have
lost slightly over so per cent of their mem
bers. Their leaders are no longer able to con-
cea this. and have, moreover, been forced to
admit that their funds arc exhausted. Indeed,
the General Strike Committee of the party have
just issued a circular to the various trades unions
exhorting them at all hazards to avoid any strike
having for its object shorter hours or an increase
of wages, and intimating that it was unable
any longer to raise funds either for strikes OF
that kind, or even for those organized for pur.
poses of defence. The cause Of Socialism and OF
organized labor in Germany may therefore be
Aesardcd as being in a very demoralized condl-
tion.-demoralized, too, not by persecution, but
by the absence thereof.

There was an interesting discussion in the
Methodist Ecumenical Conference yesterday con-
corning the religious press. The question whether
religious journals should or should not take up
political matters led to some rather animated
talk, which finally involved some English po-
litical topics and caused little excitement If
politics have this effect on clergymen when en-
Gagged in a friendly interchange of views, it
would seem the part of wisdom for religious
editors TO steer clear of such explosive subjects.
