where he who visited the reference
room might read. Perhaps it is no ex-
saggeration to say that this particular
volume is the most thumbed one in
this department of the library
Not the least important feature of
the reference room is one which Mrs.
Beals, the librarian, originated her
self. It is collection of clippings from
the local daily papers of events of ma
tional and local Importance. There is
cases marked significantly prof Nc
Vey." Should the professor of eco
Monies in the University of Minnesota
desire to see himself as st. Paul sees
him, all he has to do is to ask the IL
brarian for this particular packet. The
negro question, the Panama incident,
the present war-such information as
the daily papers have furnished on
these subjects and many others Mrs.
Beals preserves in her clipping cases.
Last month 2,480 people came to
work in the reference department of
the public library. The record for last
year shows that over 10000 patronized
the reference room. All of these were
not st. Paul people. Many came from
Winona, Hastings, Hudson, Minneapo-
lis and other towns Those who came
from Minneapolis were chiefly univer-
sity students, who find that the refer
ence department of the public library
of this city best answers their needs.
By a resolution of the library board
the people of Hudson and of Hastings
have been granted the privilege of
holding cards in the library, and

The loft of the renovated market
hall is very crowded place. The
main reference room and the two long,
narrow rooms opening off it are filed
almost to overlooking. In one of the
smaller rooms there is a single empty
book shelf, but it is very small and
undoubtedly before the month is past
it will groan under a burden of books.
The appearance of these rooms and
the children's department beneath re-
veal more than the circulating room
and the reading room the need Of
new library building.
Thanks to the librarian, the atmos-
phere (using the word in its most in
tangible sense) that prevails in the
reference room is admirable but the
odor is not. This steals in from out
side, and is frequently of the pork and
coffee variety, reminding patrons con-
stantly of the sandWiched condition of
this st. Paul institution which, next to
the public schools, is the strongest ed
ucative influence the city possesses.
But in spite of its limitations the
reference department of the library
accomplishes a great work, and be-
cause of the wise decision of the IL
brary broad to keep the department
open until 10 o'clock every evening and
on holidays, IL will accomplish still
greater work in the future. For 1t is
the people who toll that 1t can help
most, and everything that permits this
class an easier access to 1t increases
its influence and accelerated that much
the progress of the city as whole.

"Well, we have started evening
classes, where any girl who wants to
learn to cook may learn for nominal
charge. She learns in the easiest, old
est and best way. She doesn't listen to
lectures; she doesn't study books or
tables of chemical elements. She learns
to cook by cooking things herself, I'M
der the personal direction Of an ex-
perienced cook"
The teachers, therefore, at the
Bethel are Miss Julietta Shepperd and
the Misses Washburn, Thompson and
Campbell. Miss Shepperd, Instructor
in domestic science at the state agri-
cultural college, st. Anthony Park, is.
one of the most competent teachers of
cooking in the West Her three as
sistants are advanced pupils of her
own classes. ALI the women contribute
their services. But next winter, it is
hoped. the Bethel may be able to make
some fitting return for the services of
teachers.
Bethel visitors specially interested in
the cooking classes include Mrs. C. G.
Higbee and others, the Bethel as
whole being under. the supervision of
Rev. David Morgan.
There is a primary class that cooks
at the Bethel every Friday evening
from 1890 until o'clock. and an ad-
vanced class which meets every Tues
day evening. Beginners start with
lessons in the contriving of toast and
tea, under the guidance Of the Misses
Washburn, Thompson and Campbell.
More learned young women take from
Miss Shepperd herself university
courses in the manufacture of salads
and soups. For every student at every
, lesson, the necessary qualifications are
limited to culinary ambition. 10 cents
and clean apron. Funds so subscribed
buy merely what food material is de-
manded for experimental purposes.

to recognize the mans kinship with

any were needed, to prove the value of

More McVey Misinformation.
Prof. Moneys written account of st.

states that there are At 900 valumes in

ers in the reference room are not linn
tied to the volumes that are there. The
resources of the whole library are at
their disposal.
Occasionally the privileges of the
reference room have been abused. Pic
lures have been torn out of books,
sometimes entire pages have been re-
moved and a few books have been
stolen. But there are vandals every
where, and the fact that few people
have failed to appreciate the privileges
granted them in no way reflects on the
character of the body of patrons. The
order maintained in the room is adj
mirable. The utmost quiet prevails;
nothing is permitted to disturb the
people who study there. Should one
so far forget himself or herself as to
chew gum, card is dropped quietly by
his side on the table and he reads on
it the warning that gum chewing is not
permitted there. Neither can one fin
ish his luncheon or eat candy in this
room. 1t is sacred to the workers, and
it is for their benefit that strict rules
are enforced.

says severely, "a good cook hasn't time
to sit down."
Three gas ranges are seen in the
school kitchen, ten small tables, with
solid marble tops, made of oil cloth,
and two cupboards that Mrs. Hubbard
would not envy. There's everything
in these cupboards but a bone-d1shes
and bowls and pans and tins and
molds, very small rolling pins, very
large wooden spoons, extra aprons,
condiments, automatic breakfast foods
and Minnesota macaroni.

her studies yesterday. you know, If
you had to, you could live on graham

Lesson No. 2 was double-rice pan
cakes and graham gems. The third
achievement would assure each learner
a Pennsylvania husband; it was made
up of soda biscuits and of "Scrapple, T"
the famous keystone tidbit. The fourth
evening brought molasses cake and
scrapple saute; the fifth, scalloped po-
tatoes and PURGE of bean soup with
croutOnS. Hard ginger bread and mac
aroni were the problems attacked at
the sixth lesson, and at the seventh,
the beginners had amassed sufficient
science to create tomato toast and egg
cake.
More Advanced Achievements.
Graham gems and scrapple enabled
the seniors to make a first display of
acquired expertness. Their second les
son, however, proved almost meal

naming lessons have been: Third,

fourth, coffee, hash and brown bread

Last Tuesday evening the class
learned stirred biscuits because they
are good and because they are simple
to compound. Each girl made one bis
cult; each girl, with one exception, ate
her biscuit. This surviving CONNECTION

requested that the students chop their
cabbage up like -this-Oh, little finer,
child Chopping cheerily around the
white topped tables stood fourteen,
tall, bright-cheeked girls in long and
speekless aprons; closest to the teach
er the "littlest'' girl was welding the

Next Miss Shepperd put together a
white sauce" that makes, undoubted-
ly, the difference between cabbage
"slaw" and cabbage salad.

said, land the sauce must have sea-
soning. Now, girls, how do we make
the seasoning?"

At the close of the lesson the stu
dents recorded in their note books the
foregoing data and such additional
formula as are required to erect per-
feet sauce.

peering into range, said the biscuits

hF bad cooking is what's the mat

But we have borne in mind that, If
American girls don't know as much
about cooking as girls in other coun-
tries, it is due to our industrial condi--

cook; others may fiatter themselves
that they are certain to have enough
money all their lives to hire competent
servants; others still, and especially
those whose mothers have had to work
hard at home, may hesitate to burn
their fingers or flush their complexions
A few girls simply hate the kitchen.
But, no doubt, a great many young
women don't learn cooking simply be-
cause they never had a chance to
learn. Take u girl that's going to
school every day, and who must often
study at home; she is seldom able to
interest herself in cooking. supposing
that she gets the time. And in case

Improved Idle Hours.
Since the completion Of his appren
ticeship to his trade frequent labor
strikes had forced him to be idle a.
number of weeks out of every year. SO
he determined, If possible, to better his
position. 1t was suggested to him that
he qualify himself for a civil service
appointment, and after some investi-
cation he decided to study for the civil
service examination which is given to
applicants for mail carrier routes.
He had not much education and but
a vague idea Of what would be re-
quired of him in the way of knowledge,
but one afternoon he walked into the
public library and asked to be shown
the way to the reference department.
Perplexed but determined he told the
librarian what his purpose was and
soon he was carefully reading the con-
stitution of the United States, his first
lesson Gratefully accepting and fol-
lowing her suggestions he continued
his studies in the reference room until
the time came for him to take the ex-

After the papers were sent away
there was an anxious time of waiting
for both the applicant and the libra
