With the progress of civilization

With the progress of civilization one
pursuit after another seems to be ele-
waited to the distinction of an "art" or
even of Science" Perhaps the
latest claimant for such rank is the
cunning of cookery. DIR. Pitcher of
the United States Army, remarks that
the rendering food savory and di-
gestable and serving it in a tempting
manner, is study worthy the atten-
ton of higher grade of talent than is
ordinarily devoted to it, "Recent cX-
periments by Edward Atkinson have
shown" he says, ''that the art of
cookery is still in its infancy" Who
shall presume to say that he Tor more
likely she) who cooks thing well is
not a benefactor to humanity? observes
the New York Observer. Bad cook
ing may have had nothing to do with
original sin, but there is no telling
how much of unoriginal later iniquity
is to be laid to the account of soggy
bit of pastry or of an impossible beef
steak. So long as average humanity
lacks sufficient moral courage to de-
cline favorite dish set before it,
even when the viands are wretchedly
prepared, it will be urgently incum-
bent upon all chefs or Bridgets to put
more of skill, science and religion (if
they have any into the service of the
dining room.

flag which flies in the center of the play
stead 1t was made by himself. and
measures 40 feet by 90, and is thought to
he the largest in Boston. Each stripe is
~ inches wide, and the whole flag con-
tans little over l13 yards of bunting.
There are 80 stars, 45 on side each
being 10 inches in diameter. The mate
rial for the flag was furnished by the city
and it took him three months, in con
nection with his other work, to make it.
The pole from which it flies is loo feet
high, and is single stick of wood. 1t
came from oregon, and cost the city
$1,000 To- buy and place it in position. The
manner in which the flag is hoistcd each
morning has excited great deal of ad-
miration. 1t is first caught up in a sort
OF ball. and hoiSted to the top. and then
pull on one of the ropes unfurls it to the
breeze. In this way the flag is hostcd
much more easily than if it was sent
up unfurled. If it was sent up unfurled
or day when a moderate breeze was
blowing it would take three men to hoist
IT, on account of its size.
