Gastronomic Anarchy.


They say the art Of cooking is dying
out in France. Cooks and public agree
in this, but they charge each other
with the cause.
Z 1.-THE French public is degenerate"
say the cooks. "It no longer knows a
good sauce from bad one"
"Qu' est-ce que vous voulezY retail
ates the public. '@The cooks may still
be artists, but they are no longer
cooks"
IF you want the matter demonstrate
ed" says Partisan who may be con-
sidered to represent the public, look at
the so called culinary exhibitions given
in Paris every year. These exhibitions
do not ask the judgment Of the palate
They ask the judgment of the eye.
They ask you to criticise Swiss chalets
made in butter and Louis XIV furniture
made in cake. They wish to initiate
the salon, and they show lard sculpture
sentimentally disposed In palm bowers
and canvases, with fairgrounds Of
string beans, and sunsets of tomato
catchup. 1t is the last word in impress
sionism. If you like, but 1t is not cook
ery-it is anarchy. Sketch.

The CHOOSING.

satins fine,
And the great but wait to wonder, and their
dreams of love resign,
Though they offer gold and jewels, all that vainer
women crave,
Laura'n be no rich mans darling; Laura'll be the
poor mans slave!
Out you dreamer'' quoth III. mother, old in
years, but sorrow tried;
ssWill you walk the worlds way, weeping, when
the footman bids you ride?
VIII you hide you in hovel-go beggar to the
grave7
Out upon the poor mans wooingi Who would be
the poor mans slavef
Heed you, Lass, the words Of wisdom: Let but
poverty appear
In the door and love, affrghted, fieth out the
window, dearl
Would you welcome thorns for roses, so to cry
when none can savea
Bitter bread the poor man brings you. Out upon
the poor mans slave!"
Does she listen? Tear drops glisten, but she
heeds no golden CLEAN,
In the green heart of the meadows weighs her
duty and her dream,
Tramples all their gold and jewels all that vainer
women crave
Arms around the weeping mother-'Let me be

Birds That Fight Eagles.

In Foula. one Of the Shetland islands,
the natives make business Of rearing
skau gulls in order to rid the island Of
the eagles that congregate there and
commit many depredations. The mag
nifcent red sandstone cliffs that skirt
the northwestern coast became a ia
yorite haunt Of the eagles. and in this
inaccessible spot they increased so
rapidly that they became q terror to
the farmers and fishermen who dwell
on this isolated spot The skau gulls
are also strong and fierce and the in
veterate foe Of the eagle In battle
the gulls are nearly always victorious,
and 90 the tlhahttants .ok Foula hit
upon the novel plan OF feeding and car
ing for the skau glIls, which. though
formidable to their feathered enemies,
are very peaceful and docile when
brought In contact with man.
