An Eminent Ifvin y.

On last Sunday morning Bishop
Hsndrix, of the NJ. Z. Church South,
|dslivered two learned and highly ap-
pfeciated discourses. Notwithstand-
ing the inclemency of the weather, q
! good audience greeted him. but moth
Ing like the number that would have
asen present, had the descending rain
subsided for time. Bishop Hendrix,
tsides being a learned divine, is a
earned traveller having just recently
nturned from China, he leaves his
bearers with a far better opinion Of
ne Chinese than at the beginning
nd Liu Hung Chang, now, not only
nsures protection to missionaries,
at invites them to come preach and
aaeh. Bishop Hendrix says the
aehseenth century was the century
aprayer, the nineteenth century the
injury Of preparation, and the TWEEN
ush century will be the century OF
aversion.
Inc Bishops talk was a memora-
We one, highly instructive and inter,
sting.
May he come again soon into oul

One well-to-do buck has two rather pretty

COLLEGE FOR COOKS.
New York Institution Where Famous
Chefs Teach Cooking.


New York has a full-fedged epicurean
college, with staff of lecturers and dem
onstrators famous as bon vivants. The or
ganiZauon includes among its members the
most famous chefs in America The formaI
title by which ii is known is the National
Epicurean College of the United States. and
the local branch as the French section
College No. 2.
At their quarters. at No SO Sixth ave-
nue., these expert chefs concoct such tooth
some morsels as would have made Brillat
Savarin green with envy. One of its most
active members is Prof. Charles Rauhofer
who has held absolute sway in Delmonico's
kitchen for thirty years. He is an author
as well as an artist, and his book The
Epicurean. has an international reputa-
ton.
The college was founded in 1890 and has
over a score of branches located in tho
principal cities. The object of the organize
ton is the perfection of the culinary ART
The chefs are brought together to exchange
their knowledge and to discuss and teach
all the fundamental principles of high-elass
cooking.
Nowadays it is a fad to know how to pre-
pare dainty dishes: This accounts for the
large number of rich young men who are
taking private lessons at the college. Ac-
cording to their tutors, some of these anna
teurS who have taken the full course from
soup to pastry could in case Of necessity
cooks.
A man who has the knack makes bet-
ter cook than q woman with the same
framing, says famous master of the grid
Ole and saucepan, and he supports his
statement by the fact that the kitchens
over by men.
y The course Of study at the college is di-
vided into four grades. The fourth or low
est grade treats of the essentials of the
Kitchen, and two years of study and OBJ
Servation are required to learn Them. A
gradual advancement is made when the
student reaches the third grade which has
TO do with the accessories of a perfect
kitchen.
The studies of the next grade have 10 do
with cooking in all its branches, and when
one has taken the last course he is thor
ough master of the culinary art. None but
chefs can attain the first grade.
At each meeting of the college lectures
given by prominent chefs on special
topics, such as Culinary Laws and Prin-
ciples." Hygiene in the Kitchen and
THE Theory of Frying"
The secretary of the local college, NJ.
Guildfce, declares that in a short time the
college will select a. corps of culinary pro-
fessors who will extend their knowledge of
the art to the public through well-organ-
Tied cooking schools, similar to those now
IN existence In London.
