The people of every American city

To save OH food, even to large
amount, would not be, necessarily, to
fall below n plane of generous living.
Wherever the kitchen is ruled chiefly
by hired servants waste Is to be ex-
pected. 1t would be unreasonable to
suppose that servants who are not tied
to family by affection and long serv-
ice, but who work simply for wages,
will take pains to prevent waste. Per-
haps 1t is not easy for a mistress with
positive IDEAS about economy in the
kitchen to keep the average servant.

II know two answers will be made
to this suggestion. One is that there
is generally slope toward the water,
and that hence the force of gravity
determines the direction of the fish's
movement. And the other Is pri-
mary reason-the matter of instinct,
as distinguished from reason. These
explanations do not satisfy me. In
the first place, 4 reject the theory
which makes difference between in.
stinct and reason. cannot tell the
difference between the attributes, SO
much are they alike. In the second
place, I want to tell you that l have
seen fish floundering up hill. Why?
Simply because they were forced to
founder up hill In order to get back
into the water. Does n fish know any
thing about direction and distance? I
think So. have seen them jump and
founder up hill, inch after inch, until
they got back to the edge of the
stream out of which they had been
jerked. 1t may be what some of the
writer's call instinct but to save my
soul can't tell instinct from what
we are accustomed to regard us reason
