A Girls Cooking school without n
Fire.
From Harper's Young People.

From Harper's Young People.
OF course it is simple enough There
are half a dozen electric lights in each
room in the house, and this ingenious
teacher has attached wires to the electric
main which furnishes the electric lights.
Each set of wires thus attached is fas-
tened 70 one of the cooking utensils or
to the little stand upon which il rests
and the pan or griller or stand is thus
heated just as the tiny platinum wire
loop inside the electric light burner is.
Only, as the griller is much harder to
heat than the platinum wire, and iron or
the griller does not get white-hot. or even
Tedhot, but just hot enough to raise a
blister on your finger
Up out of the floor comes the wires from
the electric main, and then each little
cooking apparatus has its own particular
set of wires, and there are six little knobs
for connecting and breaking the circuit for
each set, placed just under the top OF the
table The cleanliness, the simplicity and
the convenience of the whole thing are
remarkable, and if you should really hap
pen to belong to such cooking school here
in America, and go to London and see
this school, you would be thunder-struck
and made quite unfit to come back to the
range and the draughts and the coal and
wood and the lighting of fires
The two burglar proof safes that were
the only things seen in THEFT would hard
~ be called a MISUNDERSTANDING room
when you entered turn out to be nothing
more than electric ovens. They are so
constructed that the half-dozen shelves
inside them which are attached to wires.
just as the utensils on the table are can
be heated to any degree of heat without
altering the temperature of the safe OF
oven itself. Here you can sets pates of
bread or roasts, or anything that can be
cooked or warmed in an oven. Then clos
ing the door, you turn on a certain amount
of electric current through the wires thai
are attached to shelf No. /, and the plates
are warmed. To shelf No. the wires
carry more heat, and some thing is roasted
in no time, and so ON down through the
half-dozen shelves-all done by the turn
ms of little knobs instead of carrying coal
and putting wood and paper underneath
It, and lighting matches burning your
fingers, and blowing half your lungs
away,

CHINESE PRIMROsEs.
Something About the Delicate East-
ern Flower.

ern Flower.
Correspondence in Garden and Forest
At the top of the list we place Sutton's
purity. This sort has fern-ieaf foliage Of
a dark purple hue that sets off the large
pure white flowers to great advantage. I
have never seen flowers of any primula
that can compare with this kind for size,
substance and purity. and we shall grow
no other white variety, except few plants
of pearl; the latter is a fine selection of the
old variety Alba magnifica, and has SINH
larly green foliage. The pink colors we
have sifted down to rosy queen, fern
leaf, compact-growing and very free-fow-
ering variety that has flowers the color Of
the Grace Wilder carnation. 1t has en-
tirely superseded the older and well
known Reading pink, owing to it's deli
cacy of color and free growth. Reading
blue is still the best primula of that shade,
and it is of a more decided lavender-blue
each year We have never had this sort
so good as during the present season, ow-
ing, perhaps, to the cooler temperature in
which it was grown. We find that tenn
perature of 45 to so degrees is better than
a higher temperature for the full devel-
opment of the rich colors, and to give
subs to the flowers. For a good
scarlet we have selected Reading scarlet
as one of the most reliable and the rich
est-colored. 1t has, however, the tendency
to come into flower early in the fall, and
we, therefore, SOW 1t a month later than
the other kinds, say at the end of April.
The other sorts are soWn in March, except
the blue one, which is more delicate in
constitution, and takes longer to develop.
1t may be sown in January, or early in
February, if large plants are desired for
next fall
There are fewer winter-blooming plants
that give more satisfaction than Chinese
primroses, whether for conservatory or
house decoration, If a good strain of seeds
can be had. Choice primulas are no more
difficult to grow than poor ones, and take
no more time and care. We use a light,
rich soil at times, making it little richer
at each potting, until the plants are in the
pots they are in flower in A 5-inch pot
will produce a good plant, but a size larger
is preferable, and if very large plants are
required an S-inch pot can easily be hlled
by the larger ones before winter sets IN
Primulas sometimes get what the older
gardeners call waterproof fever; their sus-
ceptibility to overwhelming is the only
drawback to their cultivation, but this IS
easily overcome by a little care. slight
shade is necessary in the hot months OF
summer, and plenty Of air while the nights
keep warm.
