Is the basis of civilization. It's mode
of preparation may be the test Of our
civilization, but the fight for food is
its history. Sailors risk their lives on
wild and stormy seas, soldiers redden
the plains with their blood; not that
we may have instruction, cultivation
but that we may have food, and then
lit is wasted. We may say that the
majority of women must of necessity
be ignorant of food as therapeutic or
prophylactic agencies; that they have
not the opportunity to study physiolo-
gy, biology, chemistry, but surely it
may be given to all to prepare food so
that it be attractive and savory,
Louis XIV, King of that nation of
whom it has been said. They can
even make a dish of health food pala-
table, declared that The art of cook
ing can no more be learned out of a
book than that of swimming or paint
ing. The best teacher is practice and
best guide, sentiment"
We have seen that it is not practice
women need. Are we then deficient in
the sentiment? How is that sentiment
to be aroused? Through ambition?
Affection? Patriotism? For is it not
patriotic to build up the health of a
nation? Some one has said, The capt.
tai of government is its healthy
citizens"
We have many organized bands of
women, lodges, corps, clubs. We all
know what their enegy, intelligence
ana activity have accomplished. Sup
posing that these women should turn
their attention to the possibilities of
the cooking stove; that each member
should not only convince herself but
convince some other woman who has
not had her advantages that a perfect
loaf of bread is the finest achievement
of woman, that she who can spread a
well-eooked meal is greater than she
who taketh a city, how many vexing
problems would be solved! The food
problem, many social problems and
Oh! happy day, the domestic service
problem.
OF her it would truly be said Her
children arise up and call her blessed,
her husband also and he rraiseth her"

The Reticencs of Learning.
From the London Spectator.

Z rum the LONDON Spectator.
1t is not often in modern times that anv
complaint can be leveled at any man for
paucitN of literary production. The reti-
Gene of learning is rare in these DAYS
that y complain of notable instance may
seem an uncalled for criticism. Yet we do
deeply regret any instance of such reti-
cence. The feverish volubiLity of ignorance,
the amazing output of illiterature-to coin
much-needed word-that distinguishes the
present epoch renders all the more neces-
sary the measured productions of the
scholar and the sage The absence of pro-
duction when production is both possible
and desirable (since any production must
bear the burning stamp of originality and
learning) is infinitely sad, and the sense of
loss that follows the apparently complete
extinction of great learning is among the
bitter tears Of things There arises the
real note Of tragedy when the earth closes
over some mute inglorious Milton, or over
a man whose capacious intellect refused to
unroll, let us say, the European history of
the late middle ages. We seem to remember
a story of an Oxford scholar Of great learn
ing. He published little or nothing. and
one day, when he felt death was not far off,
he deliberately destroyed notes and annota-
lions Of priceless value.
