The evangelistic committee Of the Synod
OF Virginia, composed of distinguished
ministers and laymen, representing every
Presbytery OF the Synod, which includes
the States OF Virginia, West Virginia
and Maryland, met last night In the
parlors OF the Presbyterian Church OF
this city to organize and to arrangeythc
work for the ensuing year.
u Tba choice OF superintendent fell upon
the Rev. j. Il. Booker. OF Lexington,
Va, who Is to give his entire time to
the work, to visit the evangellstic fields
and have a personal knowledge OF their
needs and to visit the stronger churches
to give them Information and elicit their
interest in the work.
The two questions that called out the
most earnest discussion We're the rela-
tlon OF the synodioal work to tho pres
byteria work, so as to avoid all conf
plication and diverslties OF interest. and
the election OF a treasurer-whether he
should be the superintendent himself or
some one else. The work itself Is In

by side He is no longer required to be able to hand, roof and steer" but he can broil and brew to a nicety, he can manage gang of bakers, stewers and roasters, and he knows to a dot the in gradients of a thousand luxuries of the palate that one would expect only in kings houses. His scullions wash the dishes by machinery and clean the sil- yer in gangs. The crew of the liner eat the best of modern food, cooked with skill and the old allowance of two quarts of water to man has long since ceased to hamper the cooks s output and test his ingenuity. He himself is hired ashore in the same way and from the same sources that cook for hotel
 would be hired, and he has his special stateroom and even his allowance of wine with meals. The sea cooks lines have surely fallen in pleasant places and his path is one of peace.-Kansas City Journal. ~e.~--

 ] Gastronomic 1uxuries, on the sailing ship include such luxuries as Hob scouse," dandyfunk" and dogs ! body. "Lobscouse' is, withal, a simpl. ! luxury, but it has it's drawbacks, for i 4 can be made only after a heavy shower of rain or at such times as the steward can be prevailed upon to be generou. and serve out an extra bucket of water The amount of water on a long voyage is necessarily limited, and the usual ser, vice does not admit of 'lobscouse'
 Having the water then, heaven sent or otherwise, this is how '1obscouse'' is made. Take the salt beef and pork scraps remaining from previous meals cut into junks and fleave into a pot Smash up some hard tack with a belay. ing pin and heave Tn about an equal quantity with the meat. An onion and some pepper, if obtainobIe, will add tc the flavor. Cover with water, let ii simmer gently and serve hot. "Dandyfunk''a is a sort of nautical gingerbread. You put hard tack into a canvas bag and pound it with sail- makers mallet until 1t is reduced to
 minute fragments. Mix to a. paste with water, molasses and carefully selected
 "sluch." Put in baking pan and bake
 until brown. A little piece of sugar. of

 is available if the steward is feeling

 replaced by the days allowance of pea
 soup and some bits of fine chopped
 pork. Onions must be obtained, either
 by cajolery or treachery, added, and
 the whole baked and served hot. Some
 times the men themselves prepare this
 dish from the remnants of preceding
 meals, and, if the cook is feeling well,
 he puts 1t in the oven for them; if not.
 it has to wait over till a more auspi- cious day.
 Such were the table luxuries served by the old-time sea cook, and it must be confessed that he did as we'll as he could, surprisingly we'll under the cir cumstances. Such a one would be lost in arnazement however, on a modern liner. Serve ''lobscouse' on any one of, the passenger ships of the Morgan me- ger, and where would you be? Not one of these but serves a daily menu equaled only in the very best and most expensive hotels. Here is not one cook, but many, and the duties are divided So that each man pursues his speciality. Take one of the American line vessels, for instance, where American wages are paid and things are done in Ameri- can fashion. There is the chief cook, earning sixty dollars a month; a sec- ond, who gets forty dollars, and third receiving twenty-five dollars There is the French cook, a chef, drawing fifty dollars; a first vegetable cook, twenty five dollars; and two more at seventeen dollars each, and all this imposing ar- ray is for the first cabin alone.
 For the second class there is still an- other chief cook, drawing thirty-seven dollars and half month, second at
