A Contrast In Cooks,

IN an article contributed to n London
paper John Strange Winter, who has
been living for many months past in
Dieppe, compares the French to the
English cook. rather to the detriment
of the latter 'In the French kitchens"
she says. there is no waste 1t would
seem that the French mind does not
run to waste or revel in it as the lower
class English mind Invariably does"
The French cook will not only do
bit of the liouseworll. but she will do it
cheerfully and as a matter of course.
"You cannot buy your French cook too
many pans. and her soul loves copper
in her kitchen. Certainly an English
cook would grumble if she was expect
ed to keeps kitchen full of copper pans
bright and clean. but II French one has
them in a condition akin to FURNISHED
gold. Her pride is gratificd if her
kitchen walls are hung with these or
naments. and even If ,slle does the
greater part of her small cooking in
little enameled pans she will daily rub
up the copper ones which hang on the
WALL"

Green Not Restful to the Eyes.

1t seems as though cherished notions
were no sooner on an apparently firm
foundation than some inconsiderate
iconoclast comes along and throws
them down. People have for many
ycarss supposed that the color green
was restful to human eyes and have
been referred to the green grass and
green foliage that nature has been so
prodigal with for the benefit of wearied
vision.
Now, according to German profess
Of of Berlin. nature wasn't thinking
OF human eyes when she made her pro-
fuse verdant display and that her col
or scheme Was carried out absolutely
regardless Of the visual needs of hu-
manity. He says that green does not
protect the eye. ana lie denies that it
has any beneficial effects whatever.
lie declares that green paper. green
shades. green glasses. green decora-
tions and green umbrellas are all IL
mistake aud that by increasing the
green light we are simply provoking
a nervous disturbance.
He says that each of the colors tires
different set of nerves of vision, and
therefore locking at one particular col
or saves ore set of nerves Mt the OK
penSe of another The best method,
he says, is To dim all of the rays of
light by smoked or gray glasses, which
rest all of the optic nerves.-New York

He led her away. but it was into the
