School Gardens.
From the Philadelphia Inquirer.

From the Phfladelphia Inquirer.
What are school gardens? A piece Of
unoccupied land, part of park, perhaps,
set apart for the use of public school chill
dren. where they are taught, under the su-
pervision of a practical gardener and a
teacher, to plant and cultivate. 1t is work,
but 1t is also play. The child becomes in
terested from the start. He or she has an
individual plot to labor over, and with the
manual training goes instruction that can
be had only In theory from the books. The
small farms" lure the small farmers"
and in vacation days they take the time
to water and weed and hoe which might
otherwise be spent upon the streets. Es-
pecially valuable are these school gardens
in a crowded district where the children see
little else than hot sidewalks and pave
ments. Not only is there valuable instruc-
ton in farming, which may be utilized later,
but the sense of the beautiful is developed
and unsightly back yards have been turned
into flower gardens by the little workers.

earners understand this interdependence
as thoroughly as the Iowa farmers
understand it, they, too, will go to re-

And what is the market of the Amer
lean wage earnerg 1t is the American
consumer-artisan, farmer, freight
handler, business man and capitalist.
The republican party insists that the
American producer. to the limit of his
ability, shall supply the needs of the
American consumer. The democratic
party seems to think it of no conse-
quence who produces that which we
consume, provided only it is cheap. The
republican party insists that it is meas
urably unimportant what price we pay
so long as we pay the price to ourselves.
Higher wages mean more and better

for the home, and, therefore, a better
market for the farmer. Higher prices

better market for the wage Garner.
In other words, both the wage Garner
and the farmer-yes, the business man
and the capitalist as well-spend in one
way or another about all the income.
1t is spent either for improvements on
the farm, or for little home in town,
or in the education of children, or in
construction of a railroad, or in build
ing ship; and 80 per cent of it goes di-
rectly for labor or for the products of
labor.
Whenever the republican party is in
power and it's policies are in operation,
when public buildings are being erect
ed, when rivers and harbors are being
dredged, when railroads are being grad
ed and widened and double tracked,
when canals are being dug, and when
the home market is protected in the in
terest of the American producer, artisan
and farmer, then are all men fed and all
families clothed. But may the good
Lord deliver us from another period
when living expenses are cheap.

OLD TIME COOKERY.
Curious Recipes That Were In Use
In the Fifteenth Century.

Curious Recipes That Were In Use
In the Fifteenth Century.
An old volume the mobile Boke Of
Cookery, flor Prynce Houssolde or eny
other Estately Houssolde," written
about the year 1867, contains many
rare and curious recipes in use in those
days not only for ordinary dishes, but
those to be eaten on fast an,ss fish days.
1t is curious in reading this cookery
book to find that there are the same
birds, beasts and fishes, the same
courses and sometimes the same names
to dishes as in modern one, but, al
though the names are often the same,
che ingredients and the preparation
are very different. For instance, their
blanche mango" was composed OF
lamprey or other fish, and their GUS
tards contained fresh pork minced
small.
Here is one recipe from the book:
"T0 make mon amy take and boil cows
cream and when it is boiled set it aside
and let it cool. Then take cow curds
and press out the whey; then bruise
them in a mortar and cast them In the
pot 10 Tue Credm anu Doll together.
Put thereto sugar, honey and may but
ter, color it up with saffron and in the
setting down put in yolks Of eggs well
beaten and do away the strain and let
the potage be standing; then arrange
it in dishes and plant therein flowers
of violets and serve it."
Some of the recipes in this quaint old
book We're intended specially for a
''lordes" table. For instance, a pike
was to be served whole to ga lorde,"
but cut in pieces for the "commonalte."
Cabbages were to be thickened with
grated bread for ordinary people, but
served with yolks Of eggs for 'lorde."
The dishes at this time used at table
were either gold or silver for great oc-
casions and wooden trenchers and plat
ters for ordinary use. 1t was not till
the time of Queen Elizabeth that
plates of metal and earthenware began
to be generally used instead of wood.
