The American as Cook,

SHOULD an American girl learn to
cook?" This is the subject that con-
tinues to disturb everybody but the
American girl. Writing on it, Walter
Besant lately quotes Chauncey Depew
as saying Greek not Gravy" Sir
Walter adds, however, that considering
that so many American girls have to
cook, he would alter the cry to Gravy,
not Greek"
It is doubtful If this question will
be settled on the wholesale plan. Why
not classify the American girls and
then say: "Those that will in any way
be mixed up with cooking, either as
cooks or mistresses Of cooks, ought to
study the subject as hard as they
would study Greek"

the telephone was a source Of consid-

talk to Mr.. Fox, the chief constructor
Of the African Trans Continental Tele-

INDUCED by English Women.

Just now, long walks are a fad in
England. and the Princess Of Wales
is one Of its devotees, which, of course.
insures its popularity. 1t is an excel
lent idea, for no one exercise is con-
sidered so beneficial to the entire body
as walking. OF course, the head should
be held erect, the shoulders thrown
back, and the breathing unrestrained.
The 'rest cure is another craze with
London society women. This consists
in going away for fortnight to some
quiet place where there Is plenty of
fresh air and sunshine, and then SIM
ply negotiating.

Cars Without Wheels.

Street cars without wheels are the
latest novelty in vehicles. The cars
run on ball bearings, and, being near
the line instead of raised above it, are
not subject to the same amount of re-
sistance in the form os centrifugal
force. Much greater speed is thus OBJ
tanned and the wear Of the balls in
carrying the car is much less than the
wear Of the wheel rims. The move
ment of the car is easy and agreeable.

Marie Bashkfrtse6.

An interesting phase Of the charac-
ter of Marie Bashkirtseff was her in
capacity to fall in love, even though
she was very lively young woman.
1t is said that at one time, when two
young and wealthy suitors presented
themselves, she wrote to her father for
advice, saying that both were the same
to her. Doubtless her great intellec-
tuality, as in the cases Of many other
famous women, kept her heart 80 far
In the background that it was invul-
nerable to attacks. This may be dag
nosed as one kind Of heart failure.

A Eymphony in Blue.

The prettiest new colors this season
are brick red, pearl blue and olive
white. They come in cashmere, hen
rietta and velvet, but are seldom seen
in other materials. Brick red looks
precisely like what it is intended to
representatives.. 1t is a steady, mod
est red and the nearest idea that your
correspondent can suggest, beside a
brick, is the color of cayenne pepper.
Pearl blue is also a pretty shade,
rather changeable in velvet. 1t is a
little darker than electric light blue,
but lighter than turquoise.

Amateur PHOTOGRAPHERS will be in

genuity of their guild. A photograph

daunted, Mr.. Evans put the lens of
his camera against the keyIiole and
finally succeeded in getting a clear, if
queer, shaped negative.

An Army Invention.

The subject of the transport of
wounded men under fire is one that
has been brought very much to no.
tice during the experiences gained in
the recent Tirah Campaign, says the
illustrated London News, and is one
that commends itself to all military
men. Engaged as our troops were
against a relentless and barbarous
enemy, it was impossible to leave
wounded men to their mercy, as could
be done if fighting a civilized foe; and
on many occasions our movements
were most seriously impeded by the
delay caused in bringing off our dead
and wounded in safety. The "dhoolie,"
in common used throughout India, is
a most cumbersome and unwieldly
mode of transport, and require skilled
bearers to carry it. This native con-
veyance is quite unsuitable for use on
the hillside. In addition to is other
disadvantages, it affords large target
to the enemy, and is in every way an

Transmitting Sounds of the Voice.

In experiments with the compressed

Schab has found that the greatest dis
lance to which the sound of the voice
could be conveyed in a straight pipe
was between 1900 and LOO feet. For
moderate distances a pipe of about
twenty inches in diameter gave the
best results, a slightly larger one being
better for long distances.
