PRIMITIVE COOKING.
Crude UtenfiIs Used by the Ancients ia zhe Preparation of
 Their Food.

Prof. $. Trojanovio, of Belgrade, has for several months been making an investigation with the object of ascertaining the exact manner in which food was cooked in Europe in primitive times, and he has now ar rived at the conclusion that the gen eral practiye was to place the food in pot and to warm it by means of red hot stones, reports a London paper.
 Such a pot was usually made of the bark of a tree, and two or three sticks ran across it for the purpose of holding the stones in proper posi- tion. When meal was to be pre- pared the pot was partially filled with meat and water, and then in the vacant places were put the red-hot stones. The food was quickly warmed in this way, and it was eaten before it grew cold.
 various parts of Servia primitive pots of this kind are still used. In other parts of Europe, notably in Macedonia, pots formed of the bark of trees are also used, but the food in them, instead of being warmed by means of hot stones, is thoroughly cooked by a fire which is lighted over them.
 Prof. Trojanovio has made a collec- ton of these pots, and he regards them as of peculiar interest and value, since he is confident that in old days about every nation in Europe cooked it's food in utensils of this kind, though he thinks it quite prob able that different method of heat ing the food prevailed in each coun- try.

NEW YoRKER's PoRcARIUM.
Palace for Pigs at Summer Home of Wealthy COttager at
 EIberOn.

A wealthy New Yorker has for his pigs on the grounds of his seaside villa in Elberon a palatial homeE This palace of the pigs is known as the porcarium, says the New York Her. aid.
 The palatial percarium in Elberon consists of finely constructed house, with hardwood floors and fancy wall fnishings. Within the home is a large shallow pool with a cement bottom. The porkers loll on beds of straw and inhale the ozone from the blue Att lantic.
 It is said that during the fashion able bathing hour of the Elberon cot tagers the patrician pigs take to their private pools and hathe in luxurious ease. A skylight, open above the pool, lets down lampent sunshine.
 These noble pigs are not fed as many other of their less fortunate species. They have plenty of corn to eat-fne corn, which even the horse would be glad to get in the winter time, to warm the blood. Skinned milk is served in great quantities, and of bran and middlings the patrician pigs have their fill.
 So the New Workers s'porkers" wax nightly corpulent and the porcarium is wonderful show place. The pigs have curly hair and their careful breeding makes it soft and shiny
 There is a special room in the DOT carium where the slaughtering takes place. There the sacrifcial altar is raised At the o1oca Of avery summer season the sacrifices are made, and those fat pigs go through the trans migrations that other 'porkers" do.

The widow Thornton was busi- hess woman. She owned one of the finest farms in Ohio, and only few miles from Cincinnati She received $1,S00 8 year from the estate of her father, the late Stephen Crane, a lawyer of Cincinnati. She had been a widow for several years, but man. aged her estate with as much skill as a man could have done.
 Still, at the age of 43 she decided that she was not entirely happy. 'I should have a husband" the Widow Thornton said to herself. "A hus- band is usually a nuisance, but if he's taken young enough and well trained he can be brought up so that

Care for Curtain Lectures.

At stag party recently given in Kansas City, a pretty and poIiltic custom was introduced. There were just 40 guests, and every one had a wife at home. Each on his departure (about two o'clock in the morpting) received a hndsome casket of sweets to take to his waiting partner and family. The outside box was of satinwood, costing eight dollars, and made a pleasant memento of the t9c- casion. It is safe to say there were no curtain lectures in 40 homes that night.

The American Girl

The charge made by Chicago pro- lessor against the American girl that she takes all from father or brother, giving nothing in return, is likely to meet with some contradiction. The man of learning either forgets or never knew what a wealth of bright ness and cheer the American girl dis penses on her way through life, how her sympathy and help are so often above any price. The inference to be drawn from the professors remarks is that either he is entirely ignorant of women and their ways or he is suf- fering from disappointment in love or indigestion.
