Best Use Of Talents,

Personality has done wonders with
both heredity and environment. as the
Independent says. Ii has made mod.
crate gifts, accomplished marvellous
things. Men by patient and persistent
application, have put to shame the
splendidly equipped who have indo.
lently frittered away their patrimony.
Out of the most untoward
ings men have found their way to
the grandest achievements. The boy
from the log cabin has outstripped the
boy from the palace. The barefooted
boy has outstripped the boy of pam.
pered indulgence. The plodder has
outstripped the genius. The tortoise

SEA POWER OF THE NATIONS
Great Changes Made, But England

In Il review OF the sea power OF the
great nations the Naval Annual shows
that In the ten years from 1892 to 1902
these changes have occurred:
1. Russia, Germany and the United
States have all become the owners OF
as many battleships as France. which
ten years ago was In that respect sec
ond only to Great Britain.
2. Japan's navy has been created
and, for Asiatic purposes. Is united
with Great Britain's.
3. The British and Japanese navies

than the combined total of Russian.

class.

FREAK DINNERS A FAD.
Entertainments Where Guests Cook
for Themselves.

Freak dinners are q fad. An or.
binary dinner has lost its charm for
some people who go out much during
the season. and now that Paris has set
its seal of approval on the Corinthian
dinner at which everyone is obliged
to cook something, New Workers and
Chicagoans will select this form Of
entertainment as Il aversion.
In a studio a few weeks & the wife
of an artist gave n of these cook
ing parties to a dozen guests who
knew nothing of the fun in store for
them when they arrived at the house.
The studio was arranged with a long
table holding a chatting dish for each
person, with some particular Wand be-
fore it ready TO be cooked. Each
guest received a chefs cap and apron,
and in a short time the dishes were
bubbling and simmering in a promis.
ing fashion.
When the meal was cooked it was
served by the men, who acted as the
walters. Strangely enough. the din.
ner in every particular was a success.
But cooking has become such a fad
OF late that ii is considered quito
smart to know how to cook some par.
ticular dish in a chafer. The bach.
elor apartment feasts, at which the
host acts as cook, have increased the
desire for culinary knowledge, as
these occasions prove very enjoyable
to those used to more formal enter.
