Work Being Accomplished

now at it's height, and Chautauquans
from all over Southern California are
here combining the business of the as
sembly with their annual vacation. The
city is full of people today, this being
Good Roads" day. Many also were at
tracted by the concert at the tabernacle
last evening.
One of the good things which may be
attributed to the establishment of per-
manent headquarters at this place of the
Chautauqua association is the opening
of the summer school under the general
charge of Prof. o. p. Phillips, of the Uni
versity of Southern California
The school course runs for four weeks,
beginning from the date of opening, 18th
inst. There are now twenty-one classes
in operation, all doing good work and all
we'll attended.
Morning Assem- bly, Sessions
The devotional service with which the
days sessions begin is we'll attended
one, despite the comparatively early
hour at which it is held.
Dr. Frost has large slass in his study
Of the Epistle to the Galatians. The
Sunday school normal class, copducted
by Miss Morris, of Brooklyn, N. Y, is
also one of the popular institutions of
the assembly. Miss Morris, who was in
structor at the first, second and sixth as
semblies at old Chautauqua. is highly
commended by Bishop Vincent. A spe-
cial assembly Sunday school service will
be held this afternoon at 3 o'clock, to
be conducted by Miss Morris.
Cooking Glass
Mrs. Grace E. Dutton, in the second of
hn, do, ,ctr tna1y liz,
subject of artistic Cookery" plain
food" said the lecturer, "as understood
by the average housewife, means bread,
butter, fried potatoes, fried meats,
stewed fruits and pie. Then they Won
der why they are sick so often when they
live on plain food 1t is just this kind
of food that is to blame nine times out Of
ten for our national disease, dyspepsia.
Don't eat fried potatoes. When we put
a little fat in the pan over the fire it be-
comes very hot and decomposes, so that
it is no longer fat but fatty acrids that
irritate the delicate membrane lining the
stomach, producing that form of indi-
gestion known as heartburn. Plain food
does not mean fried potatoes or fried
beefsteal or fried anything. BY artistic
cookery we mean a little, dainty dish,
nicely prepared, and containing the
nourishment required for a single meal,
appetizing because it is slightly Then,
too, we can use up the odds and ends left
from the dinner of yesterday. Use the
saucer of green peas left over in garnish-
ing your omelet for breakfast. Even the
tablespoonful of tomatoes can be added
to the gravy, improving it without fur
Their cost. The lecturer then proceeded
to demonstrate her art by making the
following dishes, which were deliciOus
A pie q la Hansen, chartreuse of chicken,
little casseroles of chicken, pears in cases
and orange soup.
Summer School
Prof Roots class in civcs had an in
teresting session while discussing the ev-
olution of governmental forms and pow
ers as illustrated in the institutions
found among the Teutonic and the early
English people.
The biological department, which is in
charge of Prof. W. c. Twiss, has begun
its work in botany and zoology with the
study of the lowest forms of life in the
animal and vegetable kingdoms.
The class in botany has been giving it's
attention to single celled plants, such as
the pleuro-cocaceal and spirulina, and
to the microscopic structure of seeds and
their cell contents.
In zoology. infusoria have been propo-
gated from infusions, and their struc-
ture and habits noted. Students are ex-
pected to make careful notes and draw
ingS from microscopic sections and dis
sections. A supply of dissecting instru-
ments, reagents and a number of first
class compound microscopes have been
furnished the department from the Uni
versity of Southern California. Prof.
Davis, of the state Normal, has been TAX
ing advantage of the recent low tides to
make some interesting collections from
the salt flats at San Pedro, having
brought in some beautiful specimens Of
the holOthurOiaeae, hydroidea and
vermes. Prof. w. G. Twiss, who has
charge of the department, is pushing the
work to more successful issue than in
any past year. He spent yesterday at
the collecting grounds on Dead Mans ISL
and getting material for future work.
Physical Culture
The physical class taught by Mrs. Eva
r. G. Rolfe, Of Minneapolis, is full of en-
thusiasm, the interest displayed proving
the esteem in which the work and the
teacher are held. The lessons up to date
sitting correctly and standing so that
the body shall be perfectly poised, which
gives one proper control of the voice in
either singing or speaking The correct
way Of using the body while lifting any
heavy article is also demonstrated and
exercises for going up and down stairs to
strengthen the back and leg muscles, a
most beneficial exercise when done cor
rectly. Mrs. Rolfe is giving lessons to
the children of the Chautauqua, and it is
well worth ones while to spend an hour
in watching them in their exercises.
Poetry
Prof. fuckers work in poetry in fol-
lowing out the line Of work of previous
lectures. dealt with the further consid-
Grafton Of "Enoch Arden" The line Of
thought was in regard to the crises Of
the poem, considering, first, the early life
and Enoch's marriage; second. Enoch's
voyage ON the sea; third, Annies remar-
riage, and, fourth, Enoch's return home.
Much stress was laid upon the qualities
of style in the poem. Mr.. Tucker en-
phasised the astsutshins condemnation.
