from Java, in which coun- try puppets of this kind are believed to have originated. These are play actors of wood and leather, whose busi- ness it is to represent divinities in a sort of Oriental passion play In form they are remarkably hideous, but dressed in many gaudy colors, while to the hands of each one are attached long slender sticks, by means of which the arms are manipulated by the man. ager and made to perform whatever gestures may be requisite.
 Java is unquestionably the earliest home of the pantomime. In ordinary theatrical performances, where the parts are taken by human beings, the actors themselves utter not word, the entire play being recited by man who occupies a sort of prompter's box. From this style of thing 1t is not such a great transition to the pantomime show of the marionettes, whose talking is all done for them by the snowman. The latter carries his puppets about with him in a chest, and there is aI- ways an orchestra of two or more play CTS who furnish sort of musical ac- compartment to the action. There is always a certain amount of ceremony of mumbo-jumbo character, includ- ing the burning of incense and the shutting out of a copper basin to re- ceiye offerings of food for the spirits which are imagined to be lowering around. The food, of which the spirits take only an fmmaterial part, is actual ly perquisite of the manager and mu- SicianS.
 The marionettes are shown over the top of a small fence constructed for the purpose, and in very much the same manner as Punch and Judy. In front the audience is divided as to sexes in a very curious way. Men occupy the flrst rows of orchestra stalls" so to speak, while behind them big sheet IS suspended, in the rear of which the women sit. Thus the men see the play, While the women view only the shadows of the nanfkins on sheet.
 Professor Otis T. Mason of the Ma tional Museum says that among all primitive people the drama is religious in character, secular plays being un- known Probably the ancient Egypt ians used in some such way the me- chanfcal dolls whose remains are often found in mummy collins. At the feast of Osiris marionettes played an impor- tant part in the pageant, and when Rome was at the acme of her glory they f1ourished exceedingly. The priests of old, in Greece, Rome and Egypt, did not hesitate to furnish the images of the gods with mechanical devices by which the divinities could be made to nod their heads and indicate by other movements whatever wishes they might be desired to convey. Such i'm. ages were, in fact. only marionettes of large size. After the fall of Rome and during subsequent centuries of barbar- ism in Europe the puppets of whatever kind seem to have disappeared. to be called to life again in the middle ages, and once more for religious purposes to a great extent

 Oitentimes when girl must go to @olh and leave school she can manage uo SUI attend the cooking lessons, "nlch Is always permitted.
 But, Miss Toomey,'' I asked her, it must cost good sum for materials?"
 Not very much, no. Many grocers are glad to have me use their flour on baking powder or spices, and give it to me just for the advertisement The ex- pense for the last year averaged $6 month, which is not a great deal"
 How about the supply now, is it like the coal and salaries?"
 same.'
 That does not look very poverty stricken" l said, nodding to the basket In which she had packed the dinner which the children had prepared, and which was destined for family whera sickness had disabled the breadwinner.
 But 1t is the last, I am afraid. l have been buying materials out of my own money for several months. 1 could stand it so long as I got my salary, but I cannot do it any longer"
 Surely the board will refund the money you have expended"
 Mr. Webster says it is extremely unlikely, and told me I did it entirely at my own risk"
 There are three other cooking cen- ters" where the girls of the sixth and seventh grades learn to cook and wash dishes and tables and floors. The othe1 classes have to meet different condi- tions, however, as they take in mostly the wealthier class
 It is very seldom that a child in any of the classes Is not interested in the work. It is half play to them. and at from 12 to 14 every girl who is right minded is beginning to realize a little of what it means to be girl and not boy She is beginning to see that she has to live her life and is thinking of what that life may be. It is the best age for her to take to herself the lessons she learns twice a week in her cooking class. HELEN GREY.

or even written, being simply memor-
 ized by the snowman. On this account
 there Is no censorship by the author1-
 ties, and many political and other all
 lusions are introduced which would not
 be permitted on the ordinary stage. The
 puppets wear fine dresses and their
 faces are carved and colored, so as to
 be as Hfe-like as possible. The typical
 Briton, in elaborate plaid and eye glasses, is a favorite character
 Some marionetteS are as much as three feet high, and are exhibited at regular theaters. The furniture and all other things on the stage are so care fully proportioned to the human figures that the latter actually seem to be life-size. The best puppets of this kind have paper heads, bodies and thighs of wood and arms and legs partly of lead. Thus constructed they obey the slightest impulse given to them and their movements can be con- trolled with wonderful precision. From the top of the head of each doll issues an iron rod, by which it is easily trans ported from one part of the stage to another. This rod is, in fact, tube, through which pass number of threads connected with various parts of the anatomy of the puppet. One de- vice that has been adopted to conceal these threads from the spectators is a, screen of very fine perpendicular threads, drawn tight, which is placed in front Of the stage, so as to inter vene between the audience and the little performers. The threads that move the blend with the threads of the screen in such a way as to deceive the most attentive eye.

 Anyway she was bright child, and had all the German housewifely ways and was one of the best little cooks in the class.
 They are mostly Italian names on the roll call and good many Greek.
 Why do you learn to cook?" I asked one little black-eyed girl.
 "So when 1 can cook the men won't want to go to a saloon and drink. They will eat so much they can't drink. ' Maybe it was not exactly as Miss Toomey had taught the class. but at least the child had an idea, and it was not such bad one for a little girl to

Ger man, the father was very proud of his daughter. It was a very well -to-d do home and the man was evidently pros porous and himself well educated
 It is very good for Hilda We find everything different here from the old country My wife speaks no English, and buying things is very hard for her. The children think whatever is Ameri- can-cooked Is better than our way and so we let Hilda have her way They must live here. I am glad to have them get to be Americans just as soon as

it is part of the regular school curr- culum.
 Unlike kitchen garden work the course contains no, plays or songs or make believes of any kind. One lesson will be on potatoes, say. They have potatoes and cook them. When the po- tatoes are done the pupils mash some and some are made into potato cakes, some creamed. Then they warm them over and learn the best methods of economical use for scraps. Another day it may be onions or apples or carrots or any other vegetable.
 In teaching how to cook meals Miss Toomey has charts and the children learn how to choose meat when they go to the butchers and what cut of beef or mutton to boil or roast or broil, and all the why's and wherefores.
 The girls average about thirteen years and have been taking cooking for year One examination which Miss Toomey gave them was to provide a a 1 e a a 60 (s 0 GO 6 0 O 00 "a "a f

There is not much woman's rights taught in the class. as the term is usually applied, but Miss Toomey tries to teach her classes of girls what it means to be born girl who will some day grow up Into woman and be a wife and mother. Every one of her girls must take in some of the talks. and when the time comes for her to make her own special turnings in life she will surely not forget what she has learned in this class.
 The children go to Miss Toomey for half a days lesson twice a week She has cooking center and room fitted up with small tables with each an individual gas stove. There is large gas range, a sink and all the usual kitchen paraphernalia besides. The children do the work themselves and

There are titles that are worth dying for We have always envied the ruler of Swat, certain rajahs, the Mad Mullah, more than MT. Sousa, the March King, or the Czar of all the Russias. And would you have ''The Turquois King of the Jarillas'' die peacefully in his bed like any MT Higgins? A man with such a title should meet an unusual death. We regret only for the sake of romanticism that he was shot while eating breakfast.
 Did "The Turquois King of the Jarillas'' wear his favorite jewel in a ring and did it give him no omen of approaching death? The Sieur de Teligny, going with 12O0 men against Nantes stopped his ex- petition because the stone of his ring fell from the setting.
 The thought of titles reminds us that MT. Francis de Pressense loses more than the decoration of the Legion of Honor by his honorable conduct in the Dreyfus case The wearers of this decoration re- ceive also a stipend. Holders of grand crosses receive each about $500 a year the grand officers $400, the commanders $200. the officers S100, and the chevaliers $50. Since there are thirty-ive grand crosses, 172 grand officers, SIP commanders, 3964 officers and 25,322 chevaliers, the Legion of Honor costs France yearly over S1 S00,7 010. Military medals in France are ac- conpanled with an annual payment, and over 5l,0O9 Wearers cost the Government over sl.OOO,00o each year.-Boston Journal.

 cooking Christmas dinner, and
 every one as eager and anxious
 about her own special dish as if
 Santa Claus himself were com
 ing to dine.
 This is what I found at the Hearst Grammar School.
 Madge Rix was weighing out flour for pie, while Helen Costa measured out the shortening into the same dish. At her own small gas stove Teresa Shearer cooked the pumpkin for filling for the pie. She had just finished cut ting up the yellow cubes, and, with her assistant-each dish was made by a principal and an assistant-was scrap ing up the bits of peeling and putting her table in order.
 Bread was rather too much of an un- dertaking, so biscuits were making in- stead, md Mary Burfield rolled them out, while Anna Mache buttered the tin on which they were to bake.
 Violet Fowler lighted her stove and set the cranberries on to cook, but I am sure she hindered the process by overassiduous stirring with a long handled wooden spoon. Potatoes were boiling and celery was being carefully washed. But the most important were the girls at the sink. They were stuff find turkey, and there was more stuff f1ng than space where the stuffing goes.
 "Oh, know what-cakes!" and the stufflng was patted into little round cakes and put in beside the turkey to brown.
 All the odors, even the onions, went out into the halls and made the boys wish for once they were girls and could be in Miss Toomey's cooking class. Even the teachers Ito sign or not to sign, salary or no salary" thoughts came back and thev remembered that it was Christmas time and that the little girls were having a resume of their years lessons and cooking a din- ner to be sent to poor family.
