A Word for the Kitchen.

from the COOKING school Magazine.
Why should kitchens be always built at
the back of the house, where the grass is
trimmed down and slop pals accumulate?
Why have back of the house anyway.
The writer recalls in Georgia a long brick
house, with three front doors, one of them
the Kitchen door. You could look straight
through the house in pleasant weather be-
cause there were three other doors facing
the ones that looked over the bay. The
rose that WAS trained over the drawing
room ran along TO the kitchen and peeped
in at the dear old nanny who sang there
very often. To balance things the peach
tree that was trained. English fashion, on
the sunny wall of the kitchen. extended its
plant branches to the dining room Crane
vines.
Parsley grew in the violet borders. the
cream Smelled of roses, and the favor of
peach leaves that Shamed the druggists
product fingered in the cake. The mistress
could sit in the drawing room and see the
children coming home from school or
guests driving up from either direction and
consequently. fresh handkerchief and col
lar were always ready. Dicey in the
kitchen could always see them, too. and
dress coat when the door -knocker raped
And no one in that house knew the front
or the back thereof. 1t was a kindly and
original old Pennsylvania German who
built great sunny kitchen where the COM
pany room is generally placed. because, he
said, mother spent nearly all of her time
in the kitchen and she should have the best.
He gained praise in his country, but no fol-
lowers.

A West African Market Day.

From the London Magazine of Commerce.
In northern Nigeria there is very general
prosperity, due mainly to tine Hausa's I'M
deniable industry in commercial pursuits.
Accounts of a market day in the town of
Zaria are very interesting. At least 10000
people were crowded together in a huge
square and its neighboring streets, so that
1t was only with difficulty a horse and rider
moved at all Everything appeared to be
systematically arranged, separate areas
being located, under head market men (who
also collect tax from merchants), for
produce of cotton. CLOTH gutta percha very
little RUBBER, hides leather and leather
work, ivory, ostrich feathers, indigo and
fiber; for food stuffs of various cereals,
such as Indian corn. Guinea corn, millat,
rice. barley. vegetables-such as onions.
pumpkins, ground nuts (the so-calied
monkey nut}, yamS and sweet potatoes
along with fresh and sour milk. butter,
shea-nut butter. dried and fresh meat;
while the live stock market was well rep
resented by fowls. turkeys, goats, sheep,
cattle. horses and donkeys even a solitary
camel being present. Cowrie shells (and
occasionally Maria Terese dollars are used
as a standard of value. A magnificent
war horse was paraded for sale at $500, 900
cowries, our equivalent being about f40 to
$50. Useful mounts can, however be OBJ
tanned from anything over f1O. Along with
the aforementioned principal articles are
also found the kola nut, a most highly
priced luxury, coming, as 1t does, over
thousand miles from the hinterlands of the
gold coast and Ashanti: anthony (for
dyeing eyelids), tin and iron represent the
metals; salt and natron from Lake Chad.
besides articles of foreign import, which
are of infnitesimal value compared to the
natural produce. and mainly consist of cop
per wire, cloth. knives, sword blades,
raZors, needles. beads. &c.

PRICE OF CULTURE.
The Cultivated Man Has Formed the
Intellectual Habit.

From Harpers Weekly.
The venerable maxim that there is no
royal road to learning urgently needs re-
statement in a form suited to republican
conditions. When the proverb was coined
privileges were for kings; today they are
for millionaires. 1t was then necessary to
lay stress on the fact that there is no COM
mon measure of culture and rank: it must
now be emphasized that culture cannot be
expressed in terms of dollars.
A hundred years ago oxford admitted
members of the nobility to her degrees
without compelling them to undergo the
tests imposed on others. That particular
relic of aristocratic advantage has long
since been swept away, but the spirit of it
is revived whenever something that is not
the result of intellectual effort is accepted
as an equivalent for actual scholarship
"Thy silver perish with thee said Peter
to Simon Magus, because thou hast
thought to obtain the gift of God with
money" 1t is an intellectual simony which
thinks 1t possible to acquire by money or
by knowledge of affairs that particular as
set which can only be gained by the la
borious application of years to a special
task. One may not do everything. Each
man must make his choice. If he prefers
the quiet pursuits of student, he must
not complain if he finds that his very name
is unknown in Wall street. If his chief
ambition is for career of business sue
cess he must not expect to be able to ex-
change his reputation al will for academic
distinction.
No one, then who has become million
aire has the right to suppose that his bust
ness success will be counted to him. or to
his children. for culture. The command of
wealth, it is true, gives access to certain
helpful opportunities of tuition books, etc..
as well as preventing the strain suffered by
those who have to earn their. bread while
they study. But the alphabet and the null
tiplication table are the same on 9Th avenue
as on the east side, and every successive
step up the ladder of learning must be
taken by an individual struggle against
native Incidence, irrespective of social posi-
ton.
That the prices of commercial and intel
lectual success are not interchangeab BILE
must be learned by communities, also. Chi
cago cannot transform herself into Athens
at moments notice. No city, however
strenuous. can hustle herself into the posi-
ton of an intellectual center. The very
word culture suggests long and grad
ual process. for plants do not spring up
into maturity in night. 1t takes time to
diffuse throughout a community those apti-
tudes and requirements without which ii
cannot achieve real distinction in things
of the mind. For the truly cultivated man
is not one who has simply made his mem
DRY an encyclopaedia storehouse, but one
who has formed the intellectual habit. And
this Is not the result of sudden spurts but
the fruit of discipline and patience

Copyright, 1901 by Il. {. McCIuFct
Written for The Evening Star by Ivan vannekef.
The late Archibald Forbes. the famous
war correspondent used to be fond of tell
ing how he met Skobeleff, the greatest of
Russian generals, after one of the fiercest
OF the many desperate fights before Plevna.
81 was sitting in my tent writing a dis
patch said Forbes, when the flap was
suddenly drawn aside and in stalked the
most terrible and awe-inspiring object l
have ever seen in my life. 1t was Skobeleff,
whom | knew well, but 1 had to look twice
before l recognized him.
'His smart generals uniform was torn
into shreds and stained with blood and
gunpowder from head to foot. His sword,
which he held in his hand, was simply
smothered in blood, and great drops of it
fell on the floor of the tent as he greeted
me- There was terrible cash across The
top of his forehead, and his eyes still blazed
with the fierce excitement of the hand-to-
hand fight which he had just had with
hundreds of Turks.
while he stood there telling me about
the battle. his favorite captain. Kouropat-
kin. came up and called him away to de-
eide about the disposition of some of the
prisoners KourOpatkin looked even more
like god of war fresh from the scene or
carnage. He was bleeding from half
dozen wounds. but he stood as steady as
rock when he Saluted Skobelef. The latter
suggested that he had better go into the
hospital but he CURLY replied, No, general.
There is work to be done.
II heard afterward that Slxobeleff and
Kouropatkin had fought side by side

ENGLISH BEGGAR's DIARY.
Humorous Notes on the Luck of the
Day.

Day.
From the London Mail.
1t is not often that one hears of beggar
with sufficient literary instinct to keep a
diary, but a case in point is that of wo-
man named Alice Mary Hunt, who was
tried at Newington sessions recently for
being an incorrigible rogue and vaga-
bond.
Her diary, written in a decidedly interest
ing way, was produced in court The dia-
rist herself, who describes herself as gov
erness, said to have lived by begging
for the past twenty years, and to have so
licited help from the late Queen Victoria.
In a letter found upon her she said that she
was in reduced circumstances, and that I'M
til she had substantial help she was obliged
to collect privately for herself.
On hearing the evidence of mendicity
officer the prisoner said: What right has
he to stand there and tell such lies? 1 claim
compensation for unlawful detention
The following are some of the entries in
the diary:
School rufied me very much; gave me
nothing: made me swear.
Lady teacher, glass of claret and piece
of cake.

he has always devoted himself to his pro-

General BobrikoH.
Gen. Bobrikoff, the governor genefaI OF
Finland, is another OF "Skobeleff's men,.
He is an able commander. but he has
reputation for extreme harshness and even
cruelty. His recent administration OF Fin
land has not belied that reputation. He IL
credited with great influence in the council

The Nestor Of the Army.
The ezar's uncle the Grand Duke Michael,
may be regarded as the nestor of the Rus

Count Lamsdorff, the foreign minister, is
regarded in Russia as a very poor sue

Gortchakoff and Lobanoff. He is unpopular
with the army because he has always shown
himself to be on the side of peace. The
officers accuse him. as Englishmen accused
Lord Salisbury. of making too many grace

Governor General OF Finland, and Famous
Fighter
was sent out by Skobeleff one night to
reconnoiter the position of the enemy. He
refused to take any soldiers with him, as
the other officers detailed for that duty used
to do, but went alone disguised in Turco-
man costume. He penetrated to one of the
campfres of the Turcomans, underneath
the walls of the fortress. and sat down and
calmly are supper with them. introducing
himself as man from another branch of
the tribe who had been separated from his
comrades.
From the talk around the campfire he
learned all he wanted to know. and he was
about to retire unobtrusively when a Tur-
CONAN, who had known him as Russian
officer before the war strolied up to the
campfire and recognized him.

nounce him Obrubcheff sprang to his feet,
