The girls in the seventh and eighth
grades of the Charles KozminSki and
the Hammond schools are now to have
chance to learn how to make bread,
run hem or dust room according to
the best and most improved methods.
Since the introduction of manual
training for boys in the Chicago pub
lie schools there has been considera-
BILE complaint that the girls were not
given the chance to use their hands
and learn some useful arts. In other
cities cooking and plain sewing had
been introduced into the curriculum of
the schools alongside of manual train
ing for the boys.
For many years the Kitchengarden
Association, of which Mrs. w. H.
Moore is the head, has given instruc-
ton in cooking and sewing to the girls
OF the Huron street and Holden
schools, but the classes were held after
the regular school hours, attendance
was not compulsory and the Board of
Education had no jurisdiction over
them. From lack of interest in the
work and scarcity of funds the associa-
ton gave up these classes. The men,
bers then resolved to make one last ap-
peal to the Board of Education and see
if it were not possible to have the cook
ing and housekeeping taught during
school hours as part of the regular
course in one or two schools as an ex-
pertinent.
At the same time Mrs. E. S. stick
ney asked to be allowed to support o
kitchengarden in the Hammond school,
where her nephew, Cyrus Mccormick,
supports the manual training depart
ment for boys. The Board lately
granted Mrs. Stickney permission to
establish the kitchengarden in the
Hammond school, and has given the
Kitchengarden Association two rooms
i'll the Charles Kozminski school, where
they are at liberty to carry out its ideas
as they see fit.
The association has raised money
sufficient to pay two teachers for q
year and to furnish the rooms in the
best manner for the work. Miss Allen
has been secured to teach cooking and
Miss Mills to teach housekeeping and
plain sewing.
The instruction is to be confined to
the girls in the seventh and eighth
grades, for these are the grades where
the study of domestic economics is gen
orally introduced, and the association
believes that by starting the study in
the early grades it reaches much
larger per cent. of children who especi-
ally need the instruction than if girls
were taken from the high school. -

A Talented Col0red Girl.

A young colored girl of Vermillion
County, Indiana, has won a personal
triumph which entities her to recogni-
tion as enc of the bravest young
women of her time. She is credit
not only to her race, but to the coun-
try, which, by its provisions for free
public schools, has given her the op,
portunity to show the stuff of which
she is made. Four years ago she en-
tered the high school at Clinton. Ever
since that time she has been practically
ostracised by her fellow-pupils. On
two occasions, when she resented in
suits, she was expelled from the school
for no better reason, as the trustees
explained, than ''to keep peace in the
family" Still she kept on, and the
other night she was graduated, with a
good record. When she gave her ad-
dress at the closing exercises she
scored the greatest success of the even
ing. Such usually is the reward for
courage. The pity is that during her
course of study some of the young
woman's classmates, or at least the
authorities of the school, were not as
generous as the public. Her four years
of work would have been far more com
Portable. The father of the girl, whose
name is Carry Parker, is laborer.

slonary. y.-lndianapolis News.

ing the art of cooking to deserving
working girls.
This prompted Miss Corson to make
systematic instruction in this impor-
tant branch of domestic economy her
life work. This was nearly quarter
of century ago She travelled about,
chiefly among the families of the poor,
showing the wives, mothers and sis
ters how to live well and cheaply. In
every case her instruction was accom-
panied by practical demonstrations.
The railroad strikes in 1877 brought
her into prominence. At her own ex-
pense she circulated $4,000 copies of
a book, showing workingmen's wives
how they could prepare substantial
meal for fifteen cents.
Her work was by no means confined
to the poor. Society women called
upon her for instruction. Bachelors
were frequently shown how they could
prepare wholesome breakfasts by
means of the chatting dish, and sport
ing men were prepared for a summers
outing by her valuable hints
Miss Corson was a prominent ex-
hibitor at the Columbian Exposition,
in Chicago. Her exhibit and work
won her medal, the only one given
for dietetics, and diploma. She
again launched out into a literary
career, in 1889, when she became the
editor of the Household Monthly, o
Boston publication. .-NewYork Herald.

Many an honest penny is being
turned by farmers or their wives by
taking summer boarders from the city,
notes the American Agriculturist. 1t
is estimated that the farmers in the
little State of New Hampshire, for in.
stance, receive over million dollars
each summer from this source. The
amount paid in some other States is
still larger, especially in New York
and Pennsylvania. This estimate does
not include the regular summer resort
business, but only the farmers and
small boarding houses on farms. In
Michigan and Wisconsin this industry
is on the increase among the farmers.
It is a business well worth catering to.
The pay is fair, in some cases very
good, and these boarders furnish far
more profitable home market for fresh
fruits, vegetables and dairy produce
than to ship such stuff to the almost
always crowded city markets. Farm
ers' families who have made the largest
success in this line are those who not
only have everything neat and whole.

feet drainage and sanitary arrange
ments, but who take pains to furnish
fresh from their own farm and garden,
the rich cream and milk, butter and
cheese, fruits and vegetables that city
folks SO long for.

Otter hunting has been revived in
England and there are now something
like seventeen packs of otter hounds
in the kingdom, including one in Ire
land. Hunting the otter in the spring
after the frost is out of the ground is
rare sport, and in some respects is
more exciting and dangerous than fox
hunting. The man who would be in
at the death must be strong in the legs
and long in the wind, Indifferent to
wet clothing and cold feet. A stout
dog otter is an ugly proposition, and
will put up vicious fight whenever
cornered. One of the best packs in
England last summer ran fifty-two OF
ters and accounted for twenty-eight of
them.

A Western man tells the st, Louis
Republic that Eastern people talk
m uch more loudly than the people Of
the West "If you ever heard an In.
dian talk" he says, "you viii realize
the force OF what say. L never saw
real Indian that spoke much above a
whisper. He illustrates exactly what
I mean. The Indian lives in quiet and
solitude. His atmosphere is not filed
with noises and tympanum- piercing
sounds. nseGueatly he does moi
have to elevate his voice in carrying on
conversation. Your city arab, the
counterpart of the Indian, talks loud
enough when he comes to Arkansas to
be heard in the next county"

After careful study of most of the
self-propelled carriages, from the
earliest times to the present day, Sir
David Solomons concludes that steam
is much the most suitable, and advan-
tageous motive power In England
electric energy for carriages cannot be
calculated at less than eight cents per
horse power hour, and accommodations
must be frequently recharged, with
considerable loss in useless travel un-
less charging stations are to be found
throughout the locality. The cost of
benzine gas would be about fourth
as great for the same power, steam,
from petroleum fuel at twelve cents
per gallon, costing about the same as

W. A. Baillie -Grohman writes Of
'Sports in the Seventeenth Century"
for the July Century: The author
says:
The stag was altogether the most
highly priced animal of the chase; and
his antlers, if they were of great size
or showed any abnormity in their
growth, were the most treasured
trophies of the hunt. When potentates
made one another presents, these usu-
ally consisted of some famous deer
head; for these Nimrods not only We'd
with one another in the quantity of
game they laid low, but also regarding
their collections of antlers, upon which
enormous sums were spent. For the
famous sixty-six-tined head killed in
1896 by the Elector of Brandenburg,
and which is still preserved at the Cas-
tie of Moritzburg, near Dresden, it is
said that the Elector of Saxony gave
a company of the tallest grenadiers in
his army. For an abnormal thirty
six-point head one of the Dukes Of
Wurtemburg gave a whole village,
with its inhabitants, land, houses and
church, including even the parsons
prebend, as the chronicler does not
forget to mention. A Duke of Pom
erania for celebrated thirty-two-
tined head, which he was anxious to
have for his collection, a sum which
would correspond to $25, 600 of our
present money, and what is more, his
bid was refused. Upon the spots
where great stays were killed monu-
ments were erected; and in more than
one instance monasteries and cloisters
We're founded in such localities, as
well as in those where some great
Nimrod had escaped mortal danger.

IF WE ONLY KNEW.

All! sisters, il we only knew each grief
That rends the other, we could never hate,
Nor even think remorse could come too
late,
So she brought with her more kind belief.
Most surely prejudice is a foul thief
Who steals loves blossom through the
very gate
Which we would shut against him. 1t is
fate
That hands which might extend us sweet
relief
Press down upon its thorns our coronet,
And when we sob for water reach us gall,
And when our hearts ache thrust our
sides with scorn.
oh, women, womenl do We then forget
How all must stumble, though some only
fall?
How y.e might stay with hope the feet
forlorn?

Juliet Corson Passes AWAY.

Miss Juliet Corson, familiarly known
as the "NIother of Cookery, whose
work on culinary art made her name q
household word over the country, died
recently in New York City from the
removal of tumor.
1t was told last year in the Herald
that Miss Corson was incurably i'll
with tumor. At that time she was
living at No. 81 Clinton Place with
friends of many years standing. With
the news of the famous womans ill
ness came the report that she was al
most destitute. Miss Cornelia G. Bed
ford, of No. 16 East 131st street, Pres
ident of the New York Association of
the Teachers of Cookery, sent an ap-
peal to the Herald, and Miss Corson' $
many friends and former pupils rallied
to her assistance. More than $500
was sent to Miss Bedford, as trustee
of the fund, and many contributions
reached Miss Corson directly.
Miss Corson was the first woman in
the country to teach the art of cook
ing under a systematic course of in
struction. Her early life was one of
poverty and hardship. Leaving her
fathers home, she found employment
in library, where her intercourse
with books and papers gave her an in
sight into literary work which served
her well in after years. After con-
tributing occasionally to magazines
and papers, she became an editorial
writer for the National Quarterly Re-
view, In this connection she Joined

This cracker is lighted by means of
fuse, just as is the Chinese crack ker
of commerce. The air chamber will
not explode if it is stood on end or if
the cracker is held in the hand.
This American invention leaves no
sparks, for the fire does not cling to
the tough awboard as it does to the

Importatlon of German Birds.

In the years 1889 and 1892 a society
in Portland, Oregon, introduced 400
pairs of song birds from Germany into
that State at an expense of little more
than $4,000. OF these the plain and
blackheaded nightingales have prob
able become extinct, because few of
them survived the long trip, and Zone
has since been seen, but the other
species have multiplied with great
rapidity, especially the skylarks, which
rear from two to four broods every
year, so that the whole Willamette
Valley, from Portland to Roseburg, is
full of them. Besides these there are
black starlings, wood larks, song
thrushes, black thrushes, goldfinches,
chaffinches, ziskins, greenfinches, bull
finches, crossbeaks, robin redbreasts,
linnets, singing quails, goldhammers'
and forest inchers. When it is re-
membered that the insects and fungus
diseases most dangerous to our vege-
tation are those which have been i'm
ported into this country from abroad,
and that animals and birds which are
held in check by some balance Of forces
in their native land often become
nuisance in foreign country, just as
rabbits have been in Australia and
English sparrow in this country, it is
possible that some of these songsters
may prove injurious to crops. The
chances are, however, that they will
do more to help the farmer by keeping
insects in check than they will to in
iure them. Detroit Free Press.
