A COOKING scHoos. IN Easm.su.

The Currienium Includes sn.rketa.G.
serubbing and Eating What L. Coos<nd.
A cooking school that is a cooking
school has just been opened in 6othenr
burg. Sweden 1t is an annex of the
girls part of the public school system
there, and every young woman who h
graduated must learn all that the prac-
teal cooks in the annex can teach.
The cooking course is q part of the So
nior year curriculum and includes
twenty-four lessons. Twelve OF these
lessons are theoretical The rest are
practical Ten of the practical lessons
of two hours each are devoted to in
struction in the most popular meats
and vegetables. The girls are obliged
to peel potatoes, skin onions, pluck and
stuff chickens, spit roasts and the like.
They put on the kettles, feed and regu-
late the fires, wash the dishes and clean
up generally after all is done. Three
lessons of two hours each concern ex-
clusively the preparation of bouillon,
toast and rice water, barley soup and
other similar dishes for ill persons.
The young women are instructed in
classes of five, and each group prepares
successfully every dish in the course.
The cooking is done mornings, the
cooked dishes are served for the din
ners of the pupils and teachers, and
every girl is Obliged to eat what she has
had hand in preparing, or go with
out. During the afternoon each stu
dent writes description of how and
what she cooked, and appends sugges-
tons as to epicurean improvements
that have occurred to her mind since
she finished the dish. These reports
are read and corrected by the instruct
ors, and at the end of the course the
girl who cooked best and suggested the
most palatable innovations in the proc
ess will get gold medal.
The course is unique in two particu-
lars All the girls must go to market
with the instructors very early and buy
all the stuff to be used in the kitchen.
Every Saturday is given over to house
cleaning. All the girls must then get
into their old gowns and gloves, twist
up their hair in tight little knots with
out friz in front or a fringe behind,
and knuckle down to securing the
floor, washing the windows, polishing
the brass and cleaning the walls.
The Gothenburg experiment is new.
If it proves successful other cooking
annexes to public schools will be opened
in other Swedish cities.-New York

MI. BUTLFR TAKES THE FLOOR.
All eyes were turned upon Mr..
Butler as lie took the floor and
said that the word "agentr"
meant "acting for another" and
had used the word in that sense.
If there were any amendments
or substitutes here prepared bv
some one else the word "agent"
was timely. Isuppose Mr.. Bell
meant TO injure me by saying
that | was a Gemagogue. His
saying so does not make me one.

to give it to them. They want

it is our duty to give it to them.
Mr.. Bell asked if Mr.. Butler
had not voted for the only
amendment that he (BelD had
offered to the bill. Mr.. Butler
said yes" and made some other
reply which we could not catch,
and Mr.. Bell retorted, II will

Mr.. Butler, continuing, said:
