AT THE COOKING SCHOOL
How Salem Ladies Are Learning the
Domestic Art.
II the Way TO a Mans Heart IL
Through His Stomach They Pro-
pose TO Reach II.

Who wouldn't go TO cooking schoolT
Nobody but the men folks, and they
are not asked.
But that doesn't prevent the ladies OF
the town, young and old. from takiug
lesson in the art cuisine, for there were
about three score and ten Of the fair sex
out yesterday afternoon TO take in, mas
ticatc and absorb the second lesson OF
Miss Morey's cooking school. 1t is dead
against the rules to have a man psesent.
To prevent this a heavy guard is kept at
every entrance TO the Presbyterian
church kitchen, where the lessons are
given. But Notwithstanding these strict
regulations, Journal scribe has been
able 10 invade the quarantine and get
the news, besides taste Of the delica-
cies practiced upon, and he still lives
The Presbyterian ladies are good
rustlers, and among their other numer-
GUS good qualities they propose to live
we'll what is more they propose that
their husbands shall not starve. To this
end they employed Miss Morey TO give a
series Of six lessons in good cooking
Next TO saving souls one of the tenets OF
the latter day calvanistic doctrine is to
feed the body.
The ladies' pay this princess OF the
kitchen a good round sum for the six
lessons, which occur every other day
and levy an assessment Of 81 apiece on
those who attend, to pay the bill and
meet all the side expenses.
The teacher Of this class has several
assistants, and illustrates her lectures
by practical demonstrations as they
proceed. For instance, a recipe VIII
be read and then worked out. II the
subject in hand is cake, the batter is
made In the presence Of the whole class
and then baked. II IL is a stew or q
pudding everything is likewise prepared
and cooked. Ices are concoted and
frozen In the presence Of all, but as yet
no drinks have been indnlged In. After
an article has been completed the class
resolves into committee Of the whole
and all hands are taught to he good
tasters as well as good cooks.
The sessions last about two hours
during which time several courses arr
completed. The work is intersperscc
with running fire Of good English
good advice, hints, suggestions, eau
iions, labor.saving ideas, hobbies, point
ers, prods, jokes, practical notions and 1
variety Of information supposed TO b,

says TO the Jersey man that trusts are a

Ever since our announcement of a

liar wheel in the world, we've had
scores of lockers. The liver johnson at

they have been making bicycles for l8
