clan makes men hear things enhancing,
and the painter brings tears TO the eyes
if inspired. The camp cook genius, by
the very way III which he does his work,
makes men hungry.
The camp cook. ;" says the writer,
should take pride in the artistic han
ding of his utensils, particularly in the
ability TO keep half dozen things going
at once. He must keep already cooked
things hot, and cook the uncooked things
meantime. To do this he has got 10 un.
derstand the kinds of fire to have.
whether large or small blaze, hot ashes
or redhot embers. He should also know
how to get the most work at the least
expenditure of labor from his comrades
Something.many cooks are lacking in
is the way to keep camp dishes clean for
cooking. An unwashed apple saucepan
will serve TO fry trout in and give them
pleasant taste, but an unwashed fish
spider will scarcely serve to cook apple
sauce in. In other words, the cook should
know when and what to wash"

"How DO YOU oow

An American lady who spent some
time in Paris says that she had friend
there. French lady. who wished to
learn a little English. and did So
Among her acquisitions in the language
was the expression, How do you do?"
vo which she was careful TO learn the
proper response.
One day the American lady met her
French friend OH the street. The Amer
lean lady said. "How do you do?" with
q smile. and passed on. She did not
stop TO notice that she had left the
French lady standing on the street in
establishment.
Soon afterward she called ON her
friend, and was received very coldly by
the French lady AS she did not know
of any reason why the lady should be
offended with her, she pressed her TO tell
what was the matter.
Have / done anything to grieve
you?" she asked
Anything to grieve mel" answered
the French lady You meet me on the
street, you ask me how | am, you do not
wait to find out how am, you pass on,
and then you ask me whether you have
done anything to grieve mel"
Then the American explained that it
is not customary for Americans TO wait
for an answer to their inquiry, How
do you do?" that they commonly utter
the words and pass on, or if they stop
to speak, at once begin to talk of other
matters
The French lady could hardly express

The French, when they are of the de-
gree Of acquaintance that justifies in

and hear all about it, and all about the
health Of the respective families. When
all this information has been exchanged,
the two persons part with many adieux
and elaborate good wishes for each 9th

The Italians frequently embrace one
another in public places and shake
hands several times and commit one

The Americans and the English are the
only people that question each other as

In the Cape Colony itself there are

who live around Cape Town and the

leave his fiocks and herds to fight for
