The Breakfast Habit.

Until a century ago breakfast" con-
sisted only of draught of ale or tea
or chocolate. There were only two
meals a day-dinner, ranging from
nine a. M in the fifteenth century to
noon in the seventeenth century, and
supper which similarity advanced from
five to seven o'clock. But in the eigh-
teenth century dinner was gradually
postponed until five or six in the after
noon. When it passed midday, break
fast became a necessity and a meal.
Before this hunger had demanded the
addition of bread and some such relish
as radishes to the morning draught.
But when 100 years ago cold meats
and fish began to be served at break
fast, the utmost surprise was express
ed. Its novelty made it fashionable
and led to the giving of breakfast par
ties, of which Mr.. Gladstone's were the
last-Chicago Journal.

DovEc0TEs OF SCOTLAND,
Landowners Only Are Permitted to
Have Them on Their
Territory.

1t is not universally known that the
right of erecting docecote was a
privilege to be enjoyed in England
only by the lords of the manor, and
the law was vigorously enforced on
this point But in Scotland, accord
ing to a statute still held in observ-
ance, nobody has right to build a
cote in either town or country unless
he is the owner OF land yielding about
$50 imperial bushels of produce q
year, and this property must be Sit
uated within at least two miles of the
dovecote or pigeon house. A further
enactment also states that on the
above mentioned conditions only one
cote shall be built. s. A distinguished
authority on husbandry estimated that
in 1923 there were $4,000 dovecotes in
England, and that allowing 500 pairs
to each house, the damage wrought by
birds in devouring corn would work
out at no less than 100000 bushels
that is, an allowance of four BUSH
els yearly to each pair. Anyone who
destroyed dovecote was guilty Of
theft, and is to be held at the present
time in Scotland (the act was passed
in 1879, while third offense of dove
cote breaking was capably punished.

HOUSE is BURGLAR-PEoOF.
New York Man Has an Electric Plant
Which Affords Him Pro-
lection.

Jrom burglars poins Of view prob
ably the most remarkable house in the
w,.rld is the Morosini mansion, 81 River
dale, N. Y. Many of the handsome
places in that neighborhood hal been
entered successfully by the light
fir gered gentry, Mr.. Morosini's among
tn 3 number. Determining to make him
SELF immune from such attacks he called
a well-known electrician into his serv-
ice, and the result is house which is
absolutely burglar proof, says the New
York Herald.
The same electric plant which heats
ard lights the house is used to operate
the electric currents which guard the
holse, SO the cost, Independent of the
fist outlay, is trifiing. Electric wires
connect every door and window in the
house, and when the current is turned on
nc entrance can be made without both
house anG grounds becoming instantly
Illuminated by 500 electric bulbs.
When these lights blaze out a set of
deep-toned bells in the north tower send
OFT babel of sounds which can be
heard distance of several miles.
G:,ngs also clang in the servants quar-
tess and in Mr.. Morosini's sleeping
apartment. None of the doors or win
dcws is locked Should a burglar
knowing these safeguards, try to avoid
tLem by cutting through zane of glass

Then his three daughters, as pretty

want to claim, made their appearance.
and for general finish and cleverness,
let alone their good looks. they certain

peared, too, after bit, and furnished

ITO me it was all a trance, for fact.
They wouldn't believe me when told
them that I'd had breakfast downtown.
but they carried me of to the breakfast
room, if You please, and had placed be-
fore me some specimens of breakfast
cookery that only increased the in
tensity of my daze. Positively. they
made so much of me, and were all so
genuinely fine and lavish in their spirit
of hospitality. that barely knew what
to do with my mands and feet. ~.
Along toward noon my Uncle Ned,
whom had expected to find at rolling
mill, with a red flannel shirt on his
back, short clay pipe in his mouth and
big dinner bucket constantly under
his eye, apologized and said he'd have to
run down to the works for bit. He was
dressed like the president of national
bank when he started, and he was only
gone about three hours.
when he returned he said that he
was through for the day. While he was
gone my girl cousins took me over the
house. It was swell house, and no
mistake-25 rooms in it, olive room,
white and gold room, and all that sort
of thing; swimming pool, swell library,
billiard room, gymnasium, smoking
room-the whole thing. :

English, French, Italian and German,

isfied with my Washington boarding

1T was about as queer a SELL so to
speak, the whole job, as ever I met up
with. The next day my uncle took me
over the works. All hands-there were

him:
"'What is the average salary of the
superintendent of these mills around
here"
WELL he replied, it would be hard
to strike an average, but some of them
get right nifty wages. 1t all depends
upon their experiences in their line OF
business, and their cleverness in ham
ding men and fulfilling contracts.
Now, Ed Jorkins, who lives up yonder
on the terrace, gets a salary of $4,000
year, and they say he's got an interest
in the works besides. He was hand in

NEW FIELD FOR WOMEN.
Domestic Science Opening Up Pro
fession to Which Many Are
Elocking.


few attract a larger number of women
than the teaching of domestic science,
says a writer in the Pilgrim. All the
training schools are crowded with stu
dents, and for every vacancy in the pro-
fession there are numberless applicants,
yet it is difficult to meet with really good
teachers.
This is largely due to the very preya-
lent idea that anyone can take up cook
cry or Qressmaking, and girls are sent
to be tfained on the same principle
which actuated the man who put his
son into the church because he was too
stupid for anything else. This is a
great mistake. Not only must teach
er be possessed of robust health and
quick intelligence, but she must be dett
with her fingers. She must acquire the
art of managing and interesting class
of children, and also be able to adapt
herself to classes of adults Of all grades
of society; she must first become aprac-
teal cook. laundress or dressmakeS and
then learn how to teach others.
ton the teacher has both to do the work
in given time methodically and we'll,
and at the same time to keep her audi
eRce interested by explaining the why
and the wherefore of each process, and,
in the case of children, to keep order be-
sides. .a.
A few facts as to the training to be I'M
dergone, and the nature of the work,
may be helpful in lettering the unfit and
guiding those who, after due considera-
ton, wish to take up the work.
First, then, as to the training: The SUBJ
jects included under the general term
domestic economy" embrace cookery,
laundry work, plain sewing, dressmak-
ing and housewifery, supplementary
subjects often taken being millinery,
hygiene and sick nursing.
OF these, cookery and dressmaking are
the most important. On commencing
her training, a student SHOULD select at
least three Of these, of which one should
be cookery, as otherwise she will have
no chance of obtaining good post. .,
In some schools severa! subjects are
taken simultaneously, in others they
must be taken separately. In any case
the minimum time for training in three
or four subjects is two years.
AS cookery is ranked as chief sub
ject, takes the longest training and is
the most difficult and physically trying,
a few particulars as to thu training will
give an idea of what is required.
The student, of course, begins by
learning to cook, three hours each
morning being devoted to practical
work. In the afternoon she must at
tend demonstration lessons and classes
for children given by qualified teachers,
and later on she will have first to assist
and then take classes for practice under
critical supervision; evening classes
have sometimes to be attended for the
same purpose. Scullery work and mar
keting also form part of the course. In
addition to this good deal Of theory
has to be learned, the subjects for ex-
an ination including % the principles
Of cookery, (2) the chemistry of food
anJ cookery, 90 tbs theory and prac-
tic. of teaching. Candidates arc some-
tin .es required to hold science and at
