For. quick as are Americans in nearly
every other respect. they are slow to learn
in matters of the kitchen. They have never
fully grasped the fact that the food which
was altogether suitable to the men who
hewed down trees, plowed land, and reaped
grass and grain. and for the women who
washed and ironed. spun and wove, and led
lives of unremitting and active toll, is not
that demanded by the bodily and mental
frames of the men and women who sit at
desks or bend over typewriters or sewing
machines all day long. In the one case
food is required that will produce physical
heat and force, strengthen muscles, and re-
new the Ieshy tissues that are consumed
In the daily labor. In the other is exacted
nourlshment for the nerves, brain susie
nance, diet that will supply the waste in
those portions of the organism upon which
comes most strain. Precisely, because of a
IalIure TO appreciate this distinction, are
Aneflcans, as nation, sufferers from dys-
peps1a, indigestion, and nervous diseases in
their myriad forms. With all the common
sense Tor which they are justly noted, for
many years they failed to perceive that pre-
ventlon is better than cure, and to go back
OF the result in search for the cause.
Even now, when the cooking teacher is
abroad, there are not lacking conservatives
who sheer at the modern modes and class
al innovations as French fads. In a large

they have, always been accustomed
Nevertheless the fresh influence is begin
ming to make itself felt. The best is being
cleaned from the culinary wisdom of other
nations, and the practices they have tried,
and proved good are making themselves
a place in the United States.
The light breakfasts in place of the heavy
early meal, the luncheons and dinners
served in several courses instead of in two
or three, the savory entrees and made dishes
as a variation upon the eternal roast and
boiled. the growing taste for salads, and
skill in their preparation, the delicate des-
pies and buildings, the afternoon tea with
its simple refreshments that has taken the
position once accorded to the formal re-
suits of the grating of foreign modes upon
the sturdy American colonial stock. The
new shoots have already attained a prom
Using growth. and the fruit thereof is pleas

ton.

and which in many cases are transferred to
a clerk in his Office to attend to. Here a
daughter could be of invaluable assistance
A mans household bills are often to him
a matter of annoyance in their necessary
auditing, and it would be a relief to know
that the accounting was in the hands of a
daughter who would bring a personal inter-
est to the work. The lawyer, also, has at
times certain briefs and affidayits which
cannot always be written at the office. and
he, too, would be glad to have his daugh-
terS assistance. In fact every man has
certain things in his life which he would
gladly turn into the hands of a daughter if
he felt that it would please her to be able
10 relieve him. We have often felt that if
girls could enter more into the lives of their
fathers and take from them some of the
little burdens, they would be the better for
it. Not only would such help be a relief to
the father, but 1T would be an educative
training for the girl which would stand her
in good stead in her later years. Helping
her father to remember his daily engage
ments, seeing that his accounts are proper

all these things enter into the life of a girl

Thou gaunt, grim monster that doth stalk and
stare, with baefu eye,
With poisonous touch that withers, making health
and pleasure fly,
Thou contest a punishment. relentless merci-
less,
Not knowing. never caring in thy fierce de-
structiveness,
II sin thou art avenging grew from guilt or
innocence
But like curse thou fallest remorseless
recompense.
Thy touch falls on the father and the wolf of
poverty
That follows in thy footsteps guards the door
all wistfully;
Thou layest thy finger on the child the hearts
of parents break:
Dost touch the wife-and where was joy is ever
heartache
Thou canst not rob of love. but thou canst con-
stanty annoy.
And Love may pine-aye. Love may die without
his sister Joy.

VICTORIA AS A PIANIST.

Pearson's Weekly.
When her Majesty first began to learn
the piano she became tired of the daily
occasion she shut the piano with a royal
bang, locked ii and declared that she would
never use 1t again. She was soon, however,
persuaded by her mistress to give 1t another
trial, and, after careful training. both of
her fingers and voice. she was allowed, at
the age of twelve, TO accompany her mother

mentions the pleasure given by the two
princesses by their singing.
When the queen MORE appreciated the
value of what she had learned, she became
very intimate with the works of such mas
tiers as Handel. Gluck and MendelsSohn,
especially with the latter He paid her on
one occasion, a memorable visit to Buckng-

Her Majesty POSSESSES nearly sixty pianos

ladies and gentlemen of the household are
number is considerably more. Her most
cherished instrument is p magnificent
Georgiana, made in Amboyna wood This is
kept in the Crimson Drawing Room. in
Windsor Castle, and is frequently used by
Princess Beatrice. The tone is wonderfully
mellow.
The Queen has kept up her music and
singing until quite recent years. 1t is ru-
mored that more than one original compo-
sition has gone from her pen. The general
public. however, has not been fortunate to
judge these.
Her Majesty has never mastered the
violin. although she delights to hear the per-
formances of the Duke of Coburg on his
instrument This. by the way, is the only
genuine Stradivarius in the royal family.

New York Tribune.
The broadest and most distinctive avenues
now open to the breadwinner in the musical
world are the lecture and the bureau In
parlor discourses on musical themes Miss
Very has created a distinctive place that
has won attention. Even the lax interest of
summer people in country places has been
aroused and held by her lectures which she
continues to give, being the only lecturer
who carries her work through the summer
as we'll as the winter season. She is now
engaged in Connecticut interesting many
people in her unique theories. Miss Very
believes that there are the greatest posi-
bilities in thus directing thought to the
right appreciation of harmony, not only to
the woman who makes this a means of
!liveilhood, but in the missionary spirit for
the cause of good music.

OF course, this does not hold true of the
working class. In the east, from which the
Spaniard certainly drew much through the
Moor, it is only among people of some
means that the women are ''sitters behind
the curtain Yet the Spaniards are the
people who have formed the proverb that
Broken legs, hens and women are best at
home" In the most advanced parts of
Spain it would be thought rather a scandal
for married woman to be seen walking
with any man except her husband or one
of her own family. 1t is perhaps from the
Oriental thai. the spaniard has received his
conception of family honor as something
which depends mainly on this = that the
women of his household shall not be talked
about. l have known an old-fashioned
Spaniard deeply offended when a young
countryman asked after the health of 'su
esposa"-his wife. AS the old gentleman
explained to me, this was the result of a
bad French example. The youth ought to
have said, How is your house?" My old
acquaintance was behind his time, but a
great deal of this feeling survives. To put
an extreme case. it is doubtful whether a
Spanish jury could be found to give a YER
dict against the head of a family who had
killed a misbehaving wife. daughter or sis
ter. They would be sorry for him, not for
the victim.

The Circular skirt

New York Evening Post.
Beware of the circular skirt, unless you
