NATURAL COOKERY.
Some Ways Of Spelling Ediples In Preparing

Some Ways Of Spelling Ediples In Preparing
Them.
From Blackwoods Magazine.
The true national uses OF the art OF cookery
do not lie in its scientific and expensive appli-
cations (if they did cookery would be closed to
all but the rich), bat in the preparation in u
cottage or q palace Of every article Of food,
whether alone or in combination with others.
in such a fashion that it shall retain the iudi-
viduality that nature gave it, the full essence
that belongs thereto, the properties, the aroma,
the action on the palate that are specific to it.
self and which ought to distinguish each dish
from every other. Bad cooks are unable to be-
stow this character on their work: each of their
productions resembles every other more or less
in utter contradiction to the fundamental law
that every dish shall be in itself alone with no
echo from elsewhere. When that result is OBJ
tanned, no matter where or in what. in the
simplest as in the most complicated work true
cookery has been applied.
In England, however, the distressing error
prevails generally that cookery implies the fab
rication Of staggering dishes. and that no one
can be good cook who does not possess
acquaintance with such conceits The Belgians
and the Germans especially the South Ger
mans) are probably at this moment the most
improving cooks in Europe, precisely because
they perceive and apply the law of individuality
which alone can give true variety to cookery. Ii
is because it is not and cannot be applied when
many contradictory dishes are being prepared
in the same kitchen-each one injecting the air
with its own smell, combining that smell with
the others. and forming in each dish a mixture
of them all-that hotel and restaurant cooking
is generally SO detestable.

The kaiser is q very religious man. You re-

there IL a good deal Of question whether he
wrote that book or not. / am told that it was
got up at his direction. He goes to church,
and he has services In the open air with his
troops and he put down gambling in his regi-
ment when he was in the army before he be-
came emperor. He is doing all ne can to de-
velop the moral condition Of his people, and
with all his idosyncrasies he has many good
points. He 10 not fanatic, though he has been
pictured as such, and his religion seems to be

He has way OF winking at people in the party
during his conversation, and when he shakes
hands he shows that he means it. He is full Of
personal magnetism, and though it is hard for a
king 30 have friend, believe that the Little
Kaiser, as he is called, has his friends here in
Berlin. His best friends nre men Of solidity
and nerve. and as for the emperor himself there
Is no doubt Of his having his full share Of
courage. He showed this when he dismissed
bismarck and took the reins Of government into
his own hands, 1t is generally conceded now
that he could not have gotten along with Bis

A new employment for feathers has recently
been found, the quilts Of domestic fowls being
split and quilted together for making what is
known as Feather bone" This Is utilized A a
substitute for whalebone in womeu's coryets.
Leaving ornamental purposes aside the most
important commercial use for feathers Is in.
the manufacture Of ishermen's artificial aies.
They are collected from all parts of the world
by agents who are sent out from Paris to pro-
cure the skins Of the rarest and most beautiful
birds. It is the damaged ones that are mostly
made available by the hymakers, who buy them
from the milliners and taxidermists. Nearly all
Of the feathers for flies are thus obtained from
France, representing winged creatures from
every corner Of the earth, such As the scarlet
