usually abundant. The autumn was so
long and dry that they cured upon the
vines, and were sweet, somewhat
juicy, and very palatable during the
entire winter. In these groves
found companies Of Wilson's blue
birds in early January, when the mer-
curry stood between eight and ten de-
grees below zero. The flickers also
were numerous, though it is not un-
common for few Of them to winter
in the Nortt.''
In opposition to this facG, Mr..
Thoms notes that although every win
ter goodly supply Of berries, seeds,
buds, etc., remains on the bushes. yet
The robins, who eat these, constantly
migrate. Mr.. Thoms comes to the
conclusion, therefore. that There is a
migrating instinct which has its sea-
son, just as there is mating instinct
which, has its season; and if, owing to
pleasant conditions, that season passes
wthou the birds being moved to go
south, they do not go at all"

because he takes more pride in his
work OF preparing a tempting repast.
A great many people think that any
one can cook who happens to possess
a shilling cookery book and few pots
and pans. What fallacy. A great
chef is born like any other great ar
tist-of course, he must learn his art
as they do theirs, but he has the natu-
raj gift for his work, even before he
starts it.
To chef his work is 10Y for
ever" And he invents new dishes
with as much pride and more as a
modiste or 1nilliner creates some
new gown or hat, and he carefully
studies the trifling details Of each sep
arate flavor before he sends his new
masterpiece of culinary art before his
patrons.
Woman Forgets.
Women rarely care to take much
trouble over cooking, especially when
they are not acting as professional
cooks. The housewife in England
who does her own cooking considers
it waste of time to spend much of
the day in her kitchen arranging for
the farnily's meals.
Other things are far more attract
i've in themselves, claim her atten-
tion, and she appears to forget that
upon her care in preparing and cook
ing the food depends the digestion OF
husband and children, and that upon
their digestion hangs much of their
health and happiness.
In France this is not so. There the
mother of fairly well-to-do family
does not consider it trouble to ar
range all the meals herself, and is in
consequence a far better cook than
her English sister of the same class.
When women have learned that no
trifle is too small for their considera-
ton in the matter of cooking, then we
NAV find them at the head of the
kitchens of the chief clubs and hotels,
but until then there will certainly be
at least one place where man can
reign supreme.

DO MEN EXCEL IN KITCHEN?
Some Reasons are Given by the Chef
of the Carlton Hotel, London,
to Prove that Cooks of the
Masculine Gender Know
their Business Better
than their Sisters.

Cooking is undoubtedly fine art,
and an accomplished chef is as much
of an artist in his particular branch Of
work as a painter or sculptor.
There is as much difference be-
tween good cooking and bad as be-
tween a symphony performed by a
great master on a first-class instru-
ment and a so-called melody played
by some out of tune barrel organ.
There is absolutely no question as
to who makes the better cook-a man
or woman. If man did not excel,
why should all the chief hotels and
restaurants of both British and Con-
tinental cities place man at the head
of their culinary departemnts?
Women hold equally good positions
in most vocations as men now, but a
female chef, a woman 'boss,' as you
English say, does not reign in any
large kitchen, says Mons A Escoffer,
chef OF the Carlton Hotel, London, in
Pearson's Weekly.
In the ordinary domestic duties it is
very hard to find a man equalling,
much less, excelling woman-lt is
her sphere in life, but cooking rises
far above mere domestic duty; it is
as I have said before, fine art. The
reason that in cooking the palm has
always been awarded to "rnere man"
is not far to seek.
1t is NOT because man is more epicu-
rean than woman; for this, though
maintained by woman, is not fact.
Woman is quite as fastidious over her
food as the ordinary man and bestows
as much Thought over her meals as he
does.
It is simply that man is more thor
ough in his work, and thoroughness
is at the root of all good cooking,
as OF everything else.
A man is more particular over the
various little details which are neces-
sary to make up really perfect dish.
Take for example an Indian curry,
containing so many little trifling in
predients-all of which are equally
important to make a perfect dish
when finished. The loss of one would
mean the spelling of the others, and
the complete ruin Of the flavor Of the
curry.
Nothing Too Unimportant. i;
A man knows this, and will have
them ALL Nothing is too unlmport-
ant for This consideration. A woman,
on the other hand, Will manage with
what she has got handy. This is very
nice and obliging of her, no doubt,
but it eventually spoils her cooking,
and the dish is not a Success:
One of the chief faults in woman's
cooking is her want of accuracy over
the smaller items-tlle exact amount
of flavoring, the right condiments to
each dish, and that is one Of the chief
reasons why. her cooking pales before
thai cf a man and makes his dishes
preferable on all occasions to hers.
Even in the case OF amateurs, a
mans cooking is more successful than
a woman's for these reasons, and also

Attic m Suicide.

Albert Seymour, a farmer on Braintree
hill, who has many butter customer IN
this village, attempted suicide Saturday
while in so Respondent a mood as TO seem
temporarily ~deranged.
About 4 O'Clock in the afternoon be
went out of the house with a bottle con-
tanning an ounce of chlorOform ana max
ing his way TO a brook nearby swallowed
the entire ounce. The chloroform acted
Xix an intoXicant, and, hardly knowing
what be was about, Mr.. Seymour threw
the bottle under a tree, then staggered up
TO the barn and, crawling through a hole
IN the rear, fell on a pile OF hay.
His wife, who noticed the bottle when
be left the house, asked what he had and
be refused 10 tell her. After he had been
gone a few minutes she went out TO look
for him and sent their two adopted
children out also. The children saw him
come from the brook and watched him
enter the barn before they ran TO their
mother with the story that he could
hardly walk and had fallen On the hay.
The %neighbors were telephoned and DIR.
Z. j. Rumrill was summoned so quickly
that fatal consequences were averted
though the action of the chloroform upon
the throat and stomach was sufficiently
serious.
When asked il he purchased the chloro-
form with suicide in view, Mr.. Seymour
somewhat ~disgustedly replied that be
bought twenty cents worth Of the stun
to kill cats, but il wouldn't kill cats or
anything else. He seemed disappointed
at first that he had not made a sure thing
Of his attempt, but later, il is thought,
determined upon a more courageous ac-
ceptanee of the trials of life.
He was able Monday 10 assist a little
about the chores. His mother, Mrs. John
Seymour, is in very feeble health, which
fact probably contributed TO his des-
pondency.

Anonymous Fiction.

Randolph has an unknown romancer,
whose fertile imagination ought to make
his fortune in any field of fiction. His
tales are always of thrilling interest and
never fail to arouse the community to a
sense of sudden death or horrible disaster
Of some kind, which is succeeded, after a
short interval of investigation, by the ie-
Lefty OF knowing that there is nothing to
il, this knowledge coming like the happy
conclusion of a lurid novel.
The latest effort of this romancing gen.
ius was the report industriously circulated
last Thursday that Jack, youngest son OF
II. W. Vail. had been drowned in Lake
Mitchell, and the story, as it spread like
wildfire, gained in detail until it was final
ly told with the establishment that the
remains hao actually been brought to this
village on the afternoon mail train.
Fortunately, before a funeral could be
held and an imaginary corpse inferred in
the cemetery, il occurred to some one to
telephone to Mr.. Vail at Pomfret, where
the family are passing two months at the
farm. In answer to the anxious inquiry,
Mr.. Vail stated that Jack and his brother,
Scion, were both right in front of him as
he spoke and had every appearance of be-
ing alive and well.
