with bills of from - cents to $4,000 which
had been neglected and covered nine
pages oil the record book. The board
also encountered peculiar omission in
the appropriation by the legislature.
The appropriation made for deficiency
and the completion OF the buildings APP
piled, so far as any claims other than
those for the completion OF the buildings
was concerned, only to expenses incurred
prior to March II. 1898. The appropri-
alton for fuel and contingent expenses
applied only to expense incurred on and
after April /, 1898. For the intervening
time, Nv an oversight, no provision had
been made. A deficiency appropriation
for paying the expenses for this period
is therefore asked.
The board speaks in terms of praise of
the present faculty, saying "The ex-
erience Of year has convinced the
board that il has now a very able corps
of teachers for the college. President
BRYAN is man OF high educational at
tainmcnts, great executive ability, a
tireess worker. and has entered into the
true spirit Of the aims and ends OF the
agricultural college in way which must
result id rapidly building it up fast as an
educational institution and experiment
station. In this work he has the enthn-
siastic support OF all the heads Of depart
ments and professors"
The board calls attention to the work
Of the faculty. saying that the institution
is not a mere college and that teaching
pupils is but relatively a small part OF
its work. Gwen if there were no pupils"
the report SAYS, "the labors Of the pro-
fessors and departments IN experimental
research and the preparations OF the
bulletins required by the United States
laws would be continuous and exactlng."
The board goes after its enemies with
shining steel. The report says:
The institution, il let alone by it's
enemies. is now in a position to take
care of and make a record for itself. In
its work for the improvement Of the coll
,ee. the board has been hindered and
embarrassed by the most bitter, unscrnp-
uIous and persistent opposition ofcertaln
persons heretofore holding positions IN
the faculty or employ OF the college. The
changes made in the personnel OF the
faculty and employees have made enem-
les who have not hesitated to attack the
institution itself, to assail the board OF
regents in their public capacity and to
asperse their private character and that
OF the faculty retained; to publish false
and sensational articles in the press, to
poison the public ear and, by dissem-
mating scandal invented by themselves,

proyal with which the raising of the
standard was met. 1t was further graf
flied to note the marked improvement IN
the work and esprit de corps of students
and faculty throughout the year. Any
attempt to institute comparison De-
tween the attendance at the beginning
of last year with that at the beginning
OF the year before, when a series OF good
crops and the high pIices had rendered
everything favorable, when as yet there
had been only 60 cd reports in regard to
tho institution. and when students were
temnted to come by the expenditure OF
$3.50 or 5000 per month on student LABOR
would be valueless. Every present IN"
dication points to largely Increased at
tendance and larger usefulness OF the
college. The board is more strongly
convinced than ever of the wisdom OF
the changes it has made. The college
is now ready to receive all grades OF stu
dents from those who have completed
the course of study in the common
schools to those who wish to do graduate
work along special lines.

WOMAN AND HOME.
THE ART OF COOKING.

A New and Useful Calling for Intelligent
women-The Story of a Pioneer Work
er In the Noble Cause-Mrs. ID. A. Lin
coin and the Work She Has Accom-
plished.
In her valuable lecture delivered be-
fore the woman's congress at the
worlds fair, Mrs. ID. A. Lincoln said,
Cookery is one of the highest and
most essential arts, and / say cooking
is an art, rather than a science, for
science teaches us to know, art to do;
bat the practice of the art of cookery
should be carried on according to GER
tain scientific principles. l hope that
/ shall see the time when the subject
of food, in all its various phases, from
the chemistry of its formation to its
physiological effects, will be science
by itself and taught in all our schools,
being made leading feature of the
curriculum" A beginning has been
made in this direction by the introduce
ton of cooking into our public schools.
In seven years classes have been sue
cessfully conducted in school kitchens,
especially adapted for the purpose. in
New Haven, Providence, Philadelphia,
Pittsburgh and New York, and many
other cities have followed in the good
work. In Massachusetts, the legisla-
tors have been considering the ques-
ton of introducing cooking into the
high schools of every city of 10000 in
habitants.
The teaching of cooking is COM
paratively new field for women. Miss
Parloa, of Boston, and Mrs. Corson, of
New York, were the pioneers, Mrs.
Lincoln, of Boston, coming on the
field about year later. At this time
there were five leading teachers in the
country, including Mrs. Ewing, who
taught in the west, and Mrs. Rorer, of
Philadelphia. Miss Parloa was the
first to start school of cooking,
which was a very expensive private
school in Boston. The women's edu-
cational association wanted to- start
cheaper school and out of this wish
grew the Boston cooking school,
whose first principal was Mrs. ID. A.
Lincoln. Mrs. Lincoln says that her
only qualifications for that position
were that she was an educated woman
and good housekeeper. She took
few lessons of professional cook and
began her work of fitting herself as
she went along; she grew up with the
school, acting as principal for six
years, whereupon she resigned on &C.
count of her sisters death. When the
school began to grow popular there
was demand for teachers and there
were none. Miss Parloa consented to
teach a normal class in the school and
Mrs. Lincoln became a member of the
class that she might have the advan-
tage of this training. After Mrs. Lin

coin left the Boston cooking school
one of her pupils succeeded her as
principal and so on down to the pres
ent time, which fact led some one to
say of Mrs. Lincoln: "She was not
only its first principal but its princi-
ple," for her works has always been
used there, and from this school
teachers have gone out all over the
country.
In the field of cooking now the de-
mand is for teachers for the public
schools, and these teachers receive the
regular public school salary; a good
teacher can now be fairly certain of
obtaining situation. A high school
education is necessary and in some
cases a teacher is required to have a
normal school training. Cooking is a
study that embraces much of great
many sciences-chemistry, physiology,
botany, physics and natural history.
So little attention has as yet been paid
to the science of cooking that there is
in this art wide field for original
work. The schools and some of the
colleges are beginning to see the needs
of the time, and courses in physiology,
sanitary science and hygiene are being
established with especial reference to
the requirements of teachers of cook
ing.
There are not now enough paying
positions in this country for the wom-
en- who look to teaching as their only
means of support. Our young women
ought to realize what splendid op-
portunity there is for them in this
field, for at present it is somewhat diff
fcult to find teachers fully and thor
oughly equipped for carrying out an
ideal course in cookery. On the i'm
portance Of this same art, John Ruskin
says: Cookery means carefulness, in
ventiveness, watchfulness, willingness
and readiness of appliance. 1t means
the economy of our great-grandmothers
and the science Of modern chemistry.
1t means much tasting and no vast

REFUSED THOUSAND DOLLARS
Odd Experience of Conductor and O
Mysterious Passenger.

Odd Experience of a Conductor and q
Mysterious Passenger.
The following odd incident is related
of Conductor Mckinney, who was en-
ployed many years ago upon a south
ern railroad.
One night in leaving Washington the
conductor went as usual through the
train to collect the fares In one of
the rear cars passenger without a
ticket handed him bill.
The conductor took it, glanced at it
hastily, and seeing that it was of a
large denomination put it in his pocket
as conductors are apt to do and in
formed the passenger that he would re-
turn with the change.
The purpose of the delay was, of
course, to afford the conductor an op-
portunity to examine the bill at his
leisure in the baggage car to see il it
was all right When Mr.. Mckinney
reached the baggage car and inspected
the note he found to his astonishment
that what ne had taken for hundred
dollars
OF course the changing of the bill of
such a denomination was out of the
question. The conductor therefore
passed back through the train to re-
fund the money and obtain smaller
bill
When he reached the car the pas
senger had shifted mis- seat. Going up
to him, the conductor said that there
was probably a mistake, as the bill
given by him was for one thousand dol
lars.
To his utter amazement the passen-
ger disclaimed all knowledge of the
bill. He had given a ticket, he said,
and his seatmate confirmed the state
ment. The conductor expostulated,
but the man was firm, and could not
be prevailed upon to accept the money.
Finally, the conductor gave up in de-
spair. not knowing whether he or the
passenger was crazy, but inclined to
the latter belief. At a station or two
from Washington the passenger and
his companion left the train and hasti-
ly disappeared.
The next day Mr.. Mckinney handed
Al Vic pi4A W VIC OnCc WIN
an explanation.
The money was deposited on a special
account and the railroad officials await
ed the coming of claimant Year after
year passed, however, and no one ever
turned up for the money, which in the
meantime was steadily adding interest.
Finally when Mr.. Mckinney retired
from the service of the company the
officials gave him the proceeds of the
bill, which at interest then amounted to
nearly two thousand dollars
No explanation was ever vouchsafed
of the odd occurrence The theory gen.
orally credited by the conductor and
the railroad officials, however, was
that the bill was given by mistake by
some burglar. who, upon discovering
his error, decided that it was safer to
repudiate the transaction than to
acknowledge the ownership of the
money, the large amount of which he
thought might render the conductor
SUSPICIOUS and lead to his arrest-N.
