Object Of the Home.
The Cooking School.

The Cooking School.
The truest homes are often in houses not
especially well kept, where the comfort
and happiness of the inmates, rather than
extreme tidiness and the preservation of
the furniture, is first consulted The OBJ
ject of the home is to be the center the
pivot on which the family life turns. The
first requisite is to make it so attractive
that none of its members shall care to lin
ger long outside its limits All legitimate
means should be employed to this end and
no effort spared that can contribute to this
purpose. There are many houses called
homes. kept with such waxy neatness by
painstaking. anxious women, that are so
oppressive in their nicely as to exclude all
home feeling from their spotless precincts.
The very name of home is synonymous
with personal freedom and relaxation from
care; solid comfort.
But neither of these can be felt where
such mania for external cleanliness per-
vadeS the household as to render everything
subservient thereto. Many housewives, if
they see a speck on the floor or wall, or
bit Of thread or paper on the floor, rush at
1T as if it were the seed of pestience, which
must be removed on the instant. Their
temper depends upon their maintenance of
perfect purity and order. If there be any
failure on their part or any combination Of
a pathetic despair and can hardly be lifted
out. They do not see that cheerfulnesS is
more needed at home than all the spotless-
ness that ever shone. Their disposition to
wage war upon immaculateness Of any sort
increases until they become slaves of the
broom and dustpan. Neatness is one thing
and state Of perpetual housekeeping
quite another.
Out of this grows by degrees the feeling
that certain things and apartments are too
good for daily use. Hence chairs and sofas
are covered and rooms shut UP, save for
special occasions, when they are permitted
to reveal their violated sacredness in a man
ner that mars every pretense of hospitality.
Nothing should be bought which is consid-
cred too fine for the fullest domestic ap-
preparation. Far better is the plainest fur
nture on which the children can climb than
satin and damask, which must be viewed
with reverence. When anything Is re-
served or secluded, TO disguise the fact is
extremely difficult A chilly air wraps it
round and the repulsion of strangeness is
experienced by the most insensible.
Home is not a name, nor a form, nor a
routine II is a spirit, q presence, a prin-
ciple. Material and method will not and
cannot make it. 1t must get its light and
sweetness from those who inhabit il, from
flowers and sunshine, from the sympat etic
natures which, in their exercise of sympa-
thy, can lay aside the tyranny of the broom
and the awful duty of endless scrubbing.

have seen used by this animal. AS far as
1 know. muskrats lay UP no food for the
winter. but depend entirely upon what they
can pick up from day to day. Like the
beavers, they are partial to the roots Of
aquatic plants, and fragments Of these are
often seen beneath the fee. where they have
floated from the spot where some rat has
been at work. MUskrats also go out into
the fields through holes in the ice. TO eat
any winter apples they may find under the
trees. or TO CLEAN corn or other grain which

occupy their well-built houses chiefly in the
daytime.
The little chief hare or plea of the West Is

This little fellow is apparently related to the
rabbits on one side and to the rats on the
other. Pleas live or the slopes OF the noun
tains, where in holes and crevices amongst
the rocks and powders they find safe re-
treats. They are most industrious, and
spend much time in gathering mountain
plants which they pile into hay stacks
for their use in the winter.
1t would probably be difficult to mention
a more provident animal than the common
carrying into his long. winding. underground
tunnel store of nuts, grains and seeds OF
different kinds. which would probably last
him for two winters If there should be a
famine next year.
The red and the gray squirrels. too. have
been busy collecting nuts for several weeks
past, and many the piles of shellbarks
and butternuts hidden away i'm hollow
trees. old woodchuck burrows, and under
creatures are not nearly so dependent on
their winter stores the chipmunk is, for
red and gray squirrels are abroad more or
less all winter. while the little hackhee
sticks to his den from fall until spring.
The woodchuck works on a different plan.
He stuffs himself all spring, summer and
autumn. and becomes so fat that he needs
no food at all in the winter. So he digs a
long. deep burrow, which usually winds
about among rocks and tree roots, and near
the end Of 1t he makes a snug nest OF leaves
or grass. Then he plugs the entrance with
soil and leaves, to keep out cold air, and
goes to sleep, to awaken in February or
March, with thin body and a rayenous
appetite.
The flying squirrels. too, sleep away the
winter, but their slumber is less sound than
that of the woodc Nuck. They do not wake
up to eat, so far as know, but IL, on a
warm day in winter, one taps gently on the
hollow tree where they have their nest they
will come out in one. two three order, and
sail away through the woods.

favored medium to this end, and Il is in
news forms OF this that the best satisfac-
ton lies. Endorsement for such styles has
been given rather grudgingly, any how,
all possible care should be taken to meet
them fully. One excellent recent develop
ment Of this idea shows a comparatively
narrow yoke that is tight and scalloped at
its lower edge. Below this the goods is
laid In stitched plsits, these ending In an
edge of larger scaIlops, and coming just
over the hips at side and back, but almost
to the knees In the point they make in front.
From this the main portion OF the skirt
falls. Now this gives skirt of three Sec

to plump women. but the pointed extern
sion I'm front much more than offsets this
feature. and the model becomes as suitable
as IL Is stylish For scalloped edges and
plaits, plaits Is the usual finish, though
passementerfe and braid may be employed.
But fine sorts should be chosen, for incon-
spicuousness Is an essential for any and
all trimming at this point.
Establishment OF the foot flounce Of q
skirt may offer the best means for sug-
gesting styl;shness without making much
outlay. There are decided new tricks in
this direction, many OF them inexpensive
SO far the skirt is concerned. The
trouble is that all. or nearly all the trim
ming on the bodice should harmonic, and
as bodices bear proportionately more trim
ming than they did. care must be used In
selection OF a scheme or the total cost will
be discouraging. Velvet bands often mark
the top OF fhe founce. ending just before
they reach the fronts trimming. Again,
bands OF embroidery or OF applique design
hold this position, and quite as effective,
and perhaps better from the viewpoint of
the economizer, are rows of ornaments
These may be small and moderately sparse
In the distribution, so the echo of them
on the bodice will not call for great out
lay. Here and there is seen following of
trick for scattering such ornaments about
In hit or miss fashion. For any but very
skillful dressmakers it is lazy work to in
dulge in such haphazards. and in the gen.
eral scheme having mention here, it will
not do at all. The latter requires an easily
recognizable plan or design that should be
traceable in both skirt and bodice. 1t ap-
pears in complex fashion in many model
gowns. schemes too elaborate or fanciful
for moderate wardrobes, but the presence OF
such models fhould not discourage the
searcher from taking up with equally fash
ionable designs OF simpler character.
Not a few OF the latter are found in the
field Of tailor gowns. and are admirable
there, though In direct rivalry with a great
deal more that is handsome and inelabor-
ate. Current tailoring makes a fine show
ing of comparatively simple schemes of
establishment. 1t hardly could afford a
wider choice. The trouble is here that
even the simplest gowns OF really good
grade are costly.

corned beef than we do here, considering 1t

ounces of saltpetre. Stir until dissolved,

Then, in order that they may travel more
easily over snow-covered ground, the feet
of many animals are subject to peculiar
modification at this season.
AS we all know. horny fringes grow
upon the toes Of grouse, the hoofs OF GER
tain deer become broader, and the feet of
rabbits become wide, hairy pads. But these
latter advantages, derived from change Of
color, or growth peculiar to the season, are
attained without any effort on the parts Of
the creatures themselves. In order to obtain
food and shelter for the winter, however.
some animals are obliged to make active
preparation.
Perhaps the best known example Of such
preparation is that of the beavers, which
first make a pond by damming a stream

We can, however, get some idea OF the

watching the muskrats, which have some

no dam, but chooses for the site of his win

Bolin will always have warm place
in the hearts of the people of Mt.

citizen or visitor will always meet
with an ovation. At Baton Rouge
he will be the pastor of Governor

here has been most successful one !;
the church has been strengthened

grown in grace, and the missionary
spirit has been greatly enlarged

the work here he served at How

them in the work to which they
have been called. The Baptist
