Difficulties of Cooking.

In African ~encampments the queS-
ton Of food is Il burning one How to
obtain provisions, how to cook them
absorbing interest in a pioneer camp.
The author of Adventures in Mashon-
aland' says that it is curious and inter
esting to watch the process of v~ictuaf-
ling a new country. The trader throws
the most eccentric provisions on the
market. At II time, the author says.
nothing but timed lobster could he
purchased at their settlement; and ae
another time the whole of Manica
b~reakfasted, dined and supped on foie-
gras.
Our cooking utensils consisted of q
three-legged pot and a frying pan
How were we to create a dinner? We
boiled the oX-tleSh in the three-legged
pot, whence it issued in the condition
of shOe-leather. Mixing the meal with
water, we made the most horrible half
cooked flat-cakes by heating the dough
on hot stones. There was neither bak-
ing powder nor yeast in the country.
One day we received a present Of VEN
isOn, shot by a Mr.. Teal. Now / had
from time to time saved up a small
quantity of sardine oil, believing my
self TO be a famous hOusekeeper. In a
moment of vain self-cOnfidence l I'M
dertoOk the dinner that night, and we
invited Mr.. Campion to come and ele
venisOn steaks.
l fried those steaks in my sardine
oil, and served them proudly. They
positively looked like real steaks, such
as people would eat at home. But,
alas! scarcely had two mOuthfuls been
eaten when every fled from the
table, and my wonderful dinner WAS
abandoned to the little native who
waited on us. He certainly enjoyed IL
immensely, so that ever that ill wind
blew somebody good; but it was unan-
imously decided that henceforth l was
never to be trusted with the prepare
ton of meals.

lish, Bohemian and Italian laborers the
tenement is Il natural place Of abode.
1t represents as much comfort as most
their lives; its squalor and dirt and
noise have no terrOrs for them, for in
some respects the tenement OF this
country is a marked Improvement over
the tenement of Europe.
The Investigations made by commit
tees of Parliament have resulted, Ill
rectly or indirectly, in a very decided
Improvement in the condition Of the
tenement districts of London, better
houses being provided at rentals not
much in excess of what were formerly
demanded, but there is still room for
Improvement. 1t may seem strange
to many that East London should be
so congested, but it should not be for
gotten that in countries like England
there is absolutely no opportunity for
the Door to purchase Il home. In most
American cities property in the sub
urbs is comparatively cheap, n rapid
transit enables a nan to live miles
from his work, but not so in England.
The cheapest suburban property is ar
above the means of even many of the
middle classes, while rapid transit in
the way and to the extent known in
this country does not exist. The Ia
borer is compelled to live within walk
ing distance of his employment, and
hence the tcnements of London and
other large cities of Great Britain are
full and must remain SC for Il long
time to come.
It is not. however, in Great Britain,
nor vet in France or Germany, where
one must look for the worst features OF
the tenement. The tenement distlyPts
of New York. London or Paris are so
Far superior to those of the Italian cit
les as to be quite endurable by compar-
ison. and of all the cities of Italy not
one is so bad in this respect as Naples.
For q whole generation Naples has
hoon regarded as the home Of the typi-
cal tenement. Until a few years ago
tho tenement districts Of Naples were
hel;eved to contain more poverty and
misery to the acre than any other Sec
ton of the earth's surface. The tene-
ments were all built on low ground,
only n few feet above the level OF the
Goa and a southeast wind often

streets and cellars. Most of the lard

how much often Intellectual striving
against starvation is expressed in that
statement.
That tenement life should be found
in this country is not strange, when
the prOmiscuOus immigration from the
south and east central districts of Eu-
o p is remembered, but that it will
ever assume the repulsive phases that
characterize it in Naples and other
Mediterranean cities is not easy to be-
lieve. The nature of our institutions
is such that it is impossible for even
such unfOrtunates as these not to par
ticipate to ONE extent in the benefits
Of our civilization and be gradually up
lifted. The worst tenements in New
York or Boston or st. Louis or Chicago
are veritable palaces when compared
with the worst in the cities of Southern
Europe. 1t IS probable that there will

ulation not being in the least improved.
These are the people from whom the
lowest orders of tenement dwellers in
this country are recruited. They are
not criminals, although criminals r
sometimes of their number; they r
simply ~unfortunates whom ages of
misery have removed almost beyond
the reach of a helping hand. They are
to be pitied rather than blamed, for in
their native land the conditions are all
against them. 1t is stated that nearly
one-half the population of Naples is
without regular means of subsistence,

disease. The houses that were built
In the district were worthy of the soil.
when they were put up even tradition
does not state, but not a few were
known to date from the fifteenth cent
ury, at a time when sanitary building
was no more understood han the fu-
ture OF electricity. Scores, and in
some cases hundreds. of years of con-
stan habitatiOn rendered them indie
scribably foul, while the determina-
ton of their owners to get the last
possible penny out of them with no
expenditure for repairs left them in a
condition unfit for the use of domestic
animals. Rooms, passages. porches.

even the streets had their population,
which, during the summer season,
found no Inconvenience from an open
air residence. Nothing could exceed
the squalOr of these NeapOlitan tene-
mentS. At one time five thousand per-
sons were known to inhabit a district
hardly equal in size to one of our city
blocks. In SUch dense masses of popu-
lation disease and vice ran riot. The
yards and streets were filed with chill
dren knowing no parental ties, having
no home. The water used for drinking
and for household purposes was OBJ
tanned from cisterns which were filled
from roof and street, or from wells
into which the Sewag of a whole
n~eighborhOod slowly but surely fill
tered. Time after time did cholera
ravage the whole tenement district,
carrying off its victims by thousands,
while typhoid, typhus and other malig-
nant fevers were almost equally de-
structive. In despair at the condition
Of affairs, the Government at last I'M
dertook in earnest the amelioratiOn of
the state Of the people in the tenement
districts, and at first constructed sew
ers. But these only made matters
worse, for the engineering was bad,
the fall insufficient, and every high
tide carried back into the sewers the
refuse that could not find an exit.
Cholera became nor frequent and
deadly. Naples became a plague spot
for Italy and a center of interest to all

Europe as being the place whence dis
ease was scattered broadcast. The
neglected pauper of the city on the
beautiful bay was having his revenge.
Society had ignored him, but the dis
eases he bred could work destruction
to society. In despair, the Italian Gov
eminent finally determined to clear
out the heart of Naples, to pull down
the tenements and replace them with
healthy houses.
With more zeal than discretion the
work was begun, but it succeeded only
in shifting the evil, for the wretched
population had to be evicted in order
to tear down the buildings in which
they lived. All sorts of refugees were
taken advantage of by the poor Great
ures thus unceremoniouly thrust out.
GrOttoes which had formerly been
used as wine cellars, c%atacombs, caves,

soon numbered with them. The pesti.
lence at last claimed those who slept in
the cellars, along the quays.
A worse state of things ensued. The
houses erected proved too expensive;
the people for whom they were intend
ed could not pay the rents demanded,
the buildings were taken up by people
of more means, and the hordes of the
tenements were driven to lower
depths. Thus the matter now stands,
the Government having done all it can,
and the condition of the tenement pop
