Justly incensed at the inane Jest
which the press Of the country feels
bound to fling after the bride respect
ing the quality Of her cookery, and
which it filings is clumsily as She
traditional old shoe is usually flung,
a writer has set herself against the
moss-clad witticism in an article in
Leisure Hours. The gist of her con-
tent;cn IS ths. the average young mar
ried woman is much better equipped
for her domestic duties than is the
average young hushand-which no.
body can deny. The champion of her
sex likewise makes another felicitous
hit when she asserts that the average
lover IL so filled with romance before
marriage as to 10 indifferent to his
future wife's domestic equipment.
After marriage "the bride puts upon
tile table food cooked as her mother
cooked il, instead of the way his
mother prepared the same dish. And
the immediate conclusion is reached
that the Young woman is delusion
and snare"
Unhappily, il is easier 10 diagnose
the troublc-for it is widespread
than to prescribe an effective treat
ment. The writer referred to sug-
gests that tho wise young woman
should learn to cook by her mother
in-law's recipe At first glance this
might be most promising specific.
unfortunately, however, while the
principle is sound enough, the trouble
is in the application.
Nothing is more amazing in the
surprises of cookery than the dexter
ity with which two persons can con-
scicntiously evolve Numerically OPP
posite results out of tho same recipe.
In fact, cases are on record in which
single person has arrived at differ
emf results every time from such
simple recipes as those for making
bread and lecocIing coffee. Cookery
ought to be an exact science, especial
ly cookery for exaciing bridegrooms.
Perhaps, when it shall be Taught in all
the schools, like the multiplication
table, this cloud may pass away from
the face of the honeymoon and life
become once more refulgeut for the
cranky bridegroom. =. Philadelphia

Singing Baby to Sleep.


"Sometimcs,n said an experienced

initciy. Usually this form of ry,h
metiU repetition is effective; there are
few chilnren that can hold out against
it If the voice is gentle and the sing
ing is continued without break and
a gradually decreasing volume of
tone. But occasionally 1t happens
that just as the child is about to go to
sleep there il biicf period when its
senses, though yelled by drowsiness,
are really remarkably acute aud when
the work of hours may be easily up

in the singing may awaken the child;

where the numerical syatem may be
used to advantage. substituting for

their dissimilar and therefore some

csied in tho discovery Of an aborig-
inal fort in the valley of the ella,
about ninety miles below Phoenix,
Ariz. The discovery was made by
some miners who became lost in the
desert. 1t is the largest and most pc
culiar structure found in the valley.
The ruins lie about four and one-half
miles back from the ella River, and
cover about a mile square. In the
centre is the fort still IN remarkable
state of preservation. 1t covers an
area of about six acres, and is built in
very peculiar way. The first table
is about twenty feet in height and is
made of dirt, with wall of boulders
laid in cement around the outside.
On top Of this, and of the same height,
though only half the size otherwise,
is the second table, walled up as the
first. On this is q smaller one of the
same height, and on top of that is the
fort proper, constructed of stone. The
edges of the tower tables were used
as gardens, and around the walls are
hundreds of bouldcrs brought from
the river, doubtless for the purpose
of casting down on the heads of a foe.
In the tcp fort are many skeletons and
human bones, and in all probability
the place was besieged and the pcoplo
died of starvation. A ditch four and
one-half miles in length runs by the
base of this structure and brought
water from the ella. 1t is well de-
fined and about thirty feet in width,
though no water runs through
it.-[Boston Transcript.
