COOKING AND DIET.
Some suggestions That Are OF Value t.
Young Housekeepers.

Some Suggestions That Are of Value 70
Young Housekeepers.
Ovens heated by steam and gas are
used for the scientific cooking done in
the New England Kitchen Of Boston
The ordinary coal range was discarded
after three months trial. In this
kitchen, which sells bout 900, 900 worth
of food year, the appetizing and nu-
tritious soups and broths are all made
in the steam and gas oven
Mrs Richards says that 'sthe most
difficult kind of education is the educa-
ton that relates to diet" Perhaps this
is because the masses have an idea that
science has nothing to do with cookery,
and that dishes prepared with the
exactness of druggists prescription
lack flavor and the delicious, appetizing
qualities of those preparations that the
good old-fashioned cook" losses to-
gether in an inspired moment. Such
foods, they reason, may be good
enough for dyspeptics, but in the
di etary of strong, well man or wo-
man they have no place. Heretofore,
says Mrs. Richards, civilized man has
claimed as his peculiar privilege, and
as proof of his superiority to animals,
to eat what he liked, whether it was
suitable or not, and as result he has
been compelled to employ skilled ply
sicians to cure him OF consequent ills
But now man is finding himself to be
only an upright animal, amenab BILE to
the same laws of growth and decay as
other animals. The science of human
nutrition is, in the immediate future,
to play a larger part in therapeutics
than heretofore, and it will be OF great
to the physician to be able
to prescribe certain food preparations
with as much confidence as he now pre-
scribes medicines. At present he has
less confidence in the cook than in the
druggist"

work was actually begun, the king per
sonally turning the first sod. The cere-
mony on that occasion was picturesque
Gus mingling of oriental and occi-
dental manners. There was a great
crowd present, including the king and
his ministers. There were many for
eigners, looking practical and bust
ness-like, and a host of curious, happy
go-lucky natives. There was much
dignity and formality about it all, as
was fitting. But there was also great
deal of ease and informality. The min

speech, ostensibly in reply to the min

eiequently. dwelling upon the great
ness of the country and the progress
already made in the arts OF modem
civilization, and then por,raying with
entirely unwarrantable enthusiasm
the great advantages that would re-
suit from the building of this railroad
and of other roads which in the near
future would be connected with il.

SLAMS FIRST RAILROAD.
The Denomination Of Long
Delayed Project.
After Fourteen Years of Anxiety the
King Has the Pleasure of Seeing
the Realization of His
FOndest Hope.

That Is an interesting announce
ment, recently made. that within a
few weeks the king of Siam has per-
sonally opened to traffic the first rail-
road in his dominions, connecting the
capital. Bangkok, with the port Of
Pakpam, at the mouth of Mensm
river. On this occasion. il is also made
known. his majesty delivered speech
in which he referred with eloquent en-
thusiasm to the progress which his
country is now making in what are
conventionally called the arts of civ
ilization. This railroad is not nearly
SO great nor SO important as many
others in many parts of the world.
Yet, according To the New York Irib-
une, there is scarcely another so rich
~ invested with picturesque interest
or so suggestive in its proximate con-
trast of high civiliza ton against prim
tive simplicity. The very idea of
railroad in Siam seems incongruous.
True, the capital city of that country
has for years enjoyed such modern
Improvements" as street cars, electric
lights, passenger elevators, telephones
and newspapers Yet they all have an
exotic air They seem like curiosities
on exhibition. Ali around them lies
the world of centuries ago. In no
other oriental country that has so
much come into contact with Europe
and America is conservatism 50 marked
and persistent as in the land of the
white elephant The ancient manners
and customs still flourish intact. The
old-time ceremonials, endless process
sions, innunerable umbrellas on dis
play are still observed The over
whelming mass of the people are ex-
actly as they were hfhdreds of years
ago Probably the chief explanation
OF this lies in the nature OF the people
themselves They are the personifica-
ton OF easygoing.
Some thirteen or fourteen years ago
the king decided that il would be well
10 have some railroads built in Siam
Accordingly he engaged number Of
European engineers TO survey routes
and prepare plans and estimates The
advance Of the French IN Tonquin. On
