The Portsmouth Star says that many women are good at cooking special dishes, but they often fail in cooking a dinner for a number of persons who can be served promptly with all of the dishes simultaneously, hot and fresh. That is what causes the superior but amiable man of the house to go out into the woodshed to think-blasphemous ly." But suppose the "amiable man of the house fails to provide the where withal to prepare a dinner for num- Der of personsi And suppose that same man. as some husbands oo, falls to furnish any help for his wife? And suppose that same individual, as hus- bands have been known to do, brings a crowd to dinner without notice? Are not these really something more than supposable cases? And would 1t not be the proper thing for him in such cases to go out and give himself a vigorous kicking? It is doubtless true that good women and good wives are some times more expert in the preparation of special dishes than they are at cook ing a solid meal for a number of guests, but 1t Is not always the right thing to put all the blame on the wo- man.

WHAT WAS EXPECTED.


 The dismissal and disgrace of Gen. eral Kuropatlxin is just what might have been expected of the present ruler of Russia and his advisers. It is like wise an evidence of desperation, as we view it. It is quite likely that Kuro- patkin was not equal to the task which confronted him, and it may be admitted that he made mistakes, but that is not where the chief trouble lies. In the early months of our Civil War 1t will be remembered that three or four Fed erai generals were badly defeated by the Southern armies and in each case the failing General was regarded as Incompetent and was superseded. Fin ally President Lincoln got the convic- tion in his head that the fault was not with his generals, but with the Con- federates In other words, he learned that no Union General could be de- pended on to win victories at will from the Southern armies.
 TO a great extent that was undoubt- ediy the case with Kuropatkin, All things considered. Russia has never had to contend against such forces as she is now facing She has in time fought large armies of brave men and under some of the greatest of leaders. but when we consider the improved arms and munitions of the present day. and the courage. aptitude and devotion Of the Japanese. under such generals as they have, 1t is beyond doubt that the Russians have never fought against such an enemy. Whether the successor of Kuropatkin will be more successful than he has been is matter of doubt. Added to their other advantages. the Japanese now have the encouraeement Of almost continued triumph. Flushed with success they consider themselves invincible, and that has a deal to do with military results.
 The new commander, Linevitch, has acquired good reputation as a com manding officer, and has a long mili- tary record to his credit, but from this distance it looks as if he has under taken hopeless job from the very start. If accounts be true there has hardly been in modern times a more thoroughly demoralized army than the Russian now is. It isN apparently a task beyond any mortal power to re- organize and sOlidify that army into anything like a solid and effective force. If the new General succeeds in extricating 1t from its present condi- tion and conducting it to a place of safety 1t will be as much as ought to be expected of him. If he does this it will form the nucleus of another great army possibly,l which can take the field in the summer, but the case has hopeless look just now.

Taking coffee as an example, it re- ally seems that the way to increase the popularity and use of anything is by trying to discourage 1t. We know there is a continual outcry against cof- fee. The doctors discourage 1t, the medical writers disparage it, the health faddists denounce it, and physiologl- cal cranks assert that it Is a great and growing evil? What is the result :? Statistics show that the coffee habit and consumption has more than doubled in thirty-five years. In 1870 the per capita consumption was six pounds, and last year it was nearly fourteen. It may be argued that this increased con- sumption has caused an increase of disease, and that may or not be true. We are only speaking of the fact that the use of 1t does increase, and that notably.

New York World.
 Among the representatives of the milk producers at the Manhattan As- sembly Rooms conference were several farmers who had never been in New York before. All their lives had been spent on their own farm. producing food supplies for people whom they nev- CT met and about whom they knew as little as the people of the east side know about them. These men made a tour of the east side, where there are more people in one house than in a rural village and more inhabitants in a block than in a good-sized country town. Along the streets were push carts laden with vegetables and stands where a great part of the food supply of the east side Is sold.
 DO the people here actually eat stunr like this?" asked one of the visi- tors. T would not feed 1t to my pigs" He then told what prices he received for his produce. and found by investi- gation that the decayed fruit and spoil ed vegetables of the push-carts and street stands were sold at prices from four to ten times as great as he re- ceived for the fresh. wholesome pro- duce of his farm and garden.
 Tt is a pity we cannot get these people to come up our way he con- tinued. we pay $25 and $50 a month and board. and even then we cannot get the labor we need How much bet ter it would be for them and us both if they. would take their families and go to the country and work on the farms, I will be more contented with farming after this This is the first day ever spent in my life where no grass ever groWs"

 This Kansas man would doubtless have the same habits under like cir cumstances, and the number of such is much greater than Is creditable to hu- manity. They go through life without any more conception of its beauties, it's obligations and its responsibilities towards others than the grubworm. With them the chief and only aim of life is to get and save money. They usually manage to escape the criminal arm of the law but that Is wholly be- cause they know that prosecution and probable fine and Imprisonment would mean loss of time and money. That Is the only reason they are honest, for when a man reaches a point where he will suppress all human feelings and ignors all human responsibilities in order to add to his fortune he has passed the point where he has respect for honesty or justice, and only re- spects the law because he fears 1t. <.
 Of what use are such as this Kansas man to humanity? One of his kind may point a moral or adorn a tale." but there is little else they are good for. His life is constant grind to him and 0 torture to those who are de- pendent on him. He cannot expect the respect of his fellow-men or the love of wife and children. It is doubtful if he ever gave a dollar to charity or lent a helping hani to the poor. When he dies he will prove a type of the man of whom Scott wrote; The wretch, concentered all in self, Living. shall forfeit fair renown, And, doubly dying. shall go down To the vile dust from whence he sprung,
 Unwept, unhonored and unsung.

Congressman John H. Bankhead. of the Sixth District, was in Montgomery yesterday on a visit to friends. He came here from Fayette. his home. He spent few hours in the company of various Capitol officials yesterday af- ternoon and will most likely return to his home this morning.
 Congressman Bankhead left Wash ington very soon after the inaugura- ton or President Roosevelt. Owing to otner engagements he did not go with the Rivers and Harbors Committee of the House of Representatives to Porto RICO where they will investigate the needs Of harbor improvements of the annexed island.
 The appropriations of Congress for Alabama rivers and harbors are regard ed by Congressman Bankhead as satis- factory in view of the reduction of the general bill this year. He believes that the $lO0, 900 which will go to the deep- ening of the Alabama River Is enough to render the stream navigable at ali times of the year.
 The Board of Engineers at Wash ington." said the Representative of the Sixth District, was greatly confused by the first estimate of the local engi- neer and the supplementary report which was made later. I cannot help but believe that the Alabama River would have received more attention at and therefore the committee, had it
 been better separated as a good invest ment from the Coosa River" This Is the first visit to Montgomery Of Congressman Bankhead in several months.

The Cotton Movement.

T believe that the present constant discussion of the problem of cutting down the acreage of the cotton crop is working directly against the object for which the members of the proposed cot ton trust are striving" said a man who IS interested in everything which prom ises good for the South.
 Tn the first place, there are few men alive who are not willing to take up scheme by which they think they will get rich. Now mark me: There are a few patriots who will cut down their acreage the prescribed 25 per cent, but there are many platners who will req son that if the other planter is not go- ing to plant his usual acreage in cot ton, that it is a cinch for him to make big bunch of money by devoting his entire farm to cotton.
 The way to attain the end is to have numerous farmers institutes. Have the best informed and most convincing speakers of the State bring to the far mers the message that 1t Is more profit able to raise peaches and strawberries. and corn and hay, to breed cattle and pigs and chickens, than to devote their entire farms to cotton.
 As soon as the farmers are con- vinced that they can make more money with the variegated crop, they'll cut down their cotton crop Until they do well. the farmers will raise cotton"
