COOKING CLASSES FOR MEN.
New Scheme For Insuring Healthful
Food In the House.

New Scheme For 1nsuring Heaithful
Food In the House.
Men at last are to have an opportu-
nifty of demonstrating to their wives
the art of making mothers pies"
The proposal of the New York House
hold Economic association to start
cooking classes for men has met with
the warmest welcome. Mothers APP
prove of it for their sons. wives for
their husbands and maidens for their
sweethearts, while the men themselves
are showing their appreciation by pay
ing the fees.
The first class is to be limited to
twelve. 1t is to be a regular cooking
class and the food prepared and cooked
by men, under the instruction of
domestic science teacher. The scheme
may sound comical on first hearing,
and perhaps a totally unnecessary in
stitution. For the average man it is,
and should remain so. But it also has
it's serious and practical side. Few peo-
pie know how many men are compelled
TO rely on their own efforts in prepar-
ing their meals, and perhaps fewer
know how pathetically helpless they
are for lack of any knowledge of the
simplest principles of cooking. The
class of men compelled to do their own
cooking are usually students with very
limited incomes, men whose wives are
i'll, foreigners unaccustomed to the
culinary ways of other countries than
their own, and few cranks.
The first of these, the students, are
in the majority. In large cities and
college towns, there are always many
men with incomes so slender that ex-
istence is barely eked out by turning
the sharpest sorts of corners. Men
are obliged to earn a living while
taking college course, and stand in
pressing need of three square meals
per day. Usually the student is ignor-
ant of how to market, and very rarely
knows anything about preparing what
ne buys. Such knowledge would be of
inestimable value; for instance, how to
prepare four or six substantial dinners
at a very low cost. He might save
time. money and, in many cases, his
health Undoubtedly such men will adj
vocate the cooking classes and should
they spread. attend them.
It is safe to say that one-third of the
studios in New York are rented to men
who do more or less of their own house
keeping. Many have little corners fitted
up expressly for cooking, and these
same little corners usually look as
though the chef needs course in dish
washing and general scientific scour-
ing.
Countless men attempt breakfast
making in hall bedrooms, and cook
over the miniature heaters they adjust
on the only gas jet in the room.
These men are helpless enough, but
how much more so are those who. with
no servants and delicate wives, are
often compelled to face the breakfast
and dinner-getting problem?
Sooner or later every man viii find
that a knowledge of cookery helps him
over a hard place at some time, and
these classes are certainly a step in
the right direction for me nwho have,
or are in danger of having, the new
woman for a wife.

questing each guest to come prepared
to tell an Irish anecdote or story. or
recite a poem about st. Patrick.
When the dav and the guests arriv-
ed, they gathered around a table pro-
fusely decorated with soft green foliage.
A harp, wound gracefully with smilaX
and its strings of tiny white ''immor-
telles,' formed a centerpiece, raised on
a mound covered with ferns.
The dishes holding bonhons, small
cakes and sailed almonds were all
wreathed with smilaX and delicate
ground-pine, and the name-cards We're
painted with and cut in the shape of
the shamrock so green.
The bonbons We're merely round
sticks of chocolate six inches long,
made thicker at one end by the confec-
toner, at the request of the young hos
tess, in order to resemble the black
thorn or bog-oak "shillalah," While the
little cakes We're excellent ''Draties,"
their surface covered with chocolate
dust, and having bits of almonds for
eyes.
The cdndelabra were trimmed with
smilaX, and the candle shades made of
small tissue paper Irish flags crimped
into shape.
The menu could only be made to con-
form to the prevailing character in two
or three dishes. The single entree was
a most savory and highly seasoned
Irish stew, served very hot in little sill
Ger saucepans. AT that stage of the
luncheon where a vegetable is served
as a separate course, instead of aspar-
agus or celery, a silver salver was
brought in garnished with much pars-
ley, and heaped high with potatoes in
their Jackets which appeared to be so
tight that their white meat was burst
ing through.
The ice cream took the form of the
gintleman who pays the rint'-a white,
well-fed, prosperous-looking porker,
who stood firmly on his four short legs,
and when laid low by the sacrif1cial
knife, revealed all sorts of deliciousness
in the form of marrons and candied
fruits.
Stories. anecdotes and Irish wit fol-
lowed this feast, and one young woman
astonished the company by asserting
that st. Patrick was not Irish, but
Scotch lad, who in the fifth century
was stolen by a wild band of Irish pi
rates and who when finally restored TO
his home. could not forget the heathens
of the land of his captivity, and SO re-
turned to them as a missionary, devot-
ing his life to their conversion.
Best and last, before good-by were
said, a harp was brought in and one of
the guests, taking her seat. sang in a
plaintive voice, kathleen MaVour-
neen." LAFAYETTE MLAWS.

FINEST LOCOMOTIVE EVER BUILT
Perfect In Every Part and Usabls
For Practical Purposes.
The smallest 10

The smallest locomotive ever built
has been constructed by an Ohio man.
That is, it is the smallest locomotive
which lays any claim TO being abso-
lutely complete and perfect, capable
of behaving on a track as creditably
and efficiently as the big threatening
looking engine which draws the heavy
trains on a great railroad. Smaller
engines have been toys. This one, far
from being a toy, is as perfect as any
, locomotive ever turned out to draw
trains, although il runs on a track
the guage of which is only five and d
quarter inches.
The builder is machinist. Richard
II. Riddle, who resides in kinSman, o.
Partly to test his own knowledge and
ingenuity and partly to amuse his
3-year-old son, he constructed the 10
connective. The length OF engine and
tank is sixty inches. The tank holds
twelve quarts of water. and the steam
pressure is as great as 125 pounds. The
driving wheels are six and half
inches in diameter and the fire box
measures six inches. The weight of the
engine and tank, without the coal and
water, is 1855 pounds.
A tiny tool box is on the tank, and
contains little tools. Inside the cab
are steam guage, Inspector, throttle
valve, guage, cocks. whistle, lever, re-
verse lever anu LLe QUIET necessary
bars and handles. There are even
cushions on the seats intended for the
engineer and fireman. The engine runs
on solid brass tracks, which rests on
ties one-half by three-fourths of an
inch.
The engine has attracted persons
from far and near to Mr.. Riddles shop,
and it has been pronounced the most
perfect thing of it's kind ever con-
structed. There is not a single fea-
ture of an up-to-date locomotive that
is lacking, and could an engineer suf-
ficientIy diminutive be found and the
tracks extended, there would be moth
ing to prevent the said diminutive en-
gineer from turning the throttle and
rushing off in the locomotive where
ever the tracks should lead, at a rate
which would not be despised by the
biggest engine on any railroad.

One of the very most-talked-of rooms
this winter in New York is the dining

dining-hall is long and lofty. and the
gray-green walls, halfway paneled
with carved oak, are decorated with
lovely white Wedgewood figures The
doors in this apartment are so adorned
that, when closed, the walls are uni
form, and only one acquainted with
the room can tell where the doors are
and find the concealed knob that
springs them open. Not only does the
carpet and oaken furniture exactly

HOW TO GET INTO SOCIETY.
There is no denying New York's So
cial precedence among American cities.
Philadelphia's society may be more
truly aristocratic, that of Boston more
cultured, Chicago's more hospitable,
but whoever would reach the very So
cial apex in the United States must be
known in New York. Every year the
population of the metropolis is swelled
by the families of those men who have
made their pile, north, south, east or
west. and who, equipped with money,
desire to get into" New York's inner
fashionable circle.
