EVOLUTION OF THE COOK.
N~@@@@@%M@~@@@~@@@@~G


1t is doubtful If any Of the modern
ladies of the kitchen will care to follow
the early triumphs of arctic culinary
art, rs described In Short Sketches
from Oldest America"
During these very early days, writes
DR.. briggs. washing dishes appears to
have been an undiscovered accomplish
ment, as an ancient recipe says:
"Scrape the old dried dinner from
the allutok' used at a previous feast
Of seal meat. To the scrapings add a
small pinch of the tender pin-feathers
Of n bird The two ingredients are to
he mixed, then mastlcated until meta
morphosed into chewing gum"
After a few centuries had passed,
some genius invented new form OF
chewing gum called 'anoon." 1t appears
to have been the third triumph in the
culinary line. Seal oil is boiled, the
upper portion being poured off the
thick sediment remaining Is again
boiled until it becomes black and near
ly burned, when it is ready for chew
ing.
"Keveh," made by warming deer
tallow, then beating it into a light mass
with salmon berries, was the fourth In.
, novation. and "ahkootoo" the fifth.
".Ahkootoo" Is made from deer mar.
row, mixed with whale oil. small
amount of soup from boiled deer meat
and also some of the meat cut quite
| fine. The mass is TO be beaten until II
becomes quite light. 1t Is an articl-
of food very highly esteemed by the
Inupash.
These remained the only dishes
known to the cook for n vast length Of
time. On the first Introduction of flour
the people did not care for 1t. but abou,
1890 they learned the art Of making

small amount Of water, then dropped
into boiling seal or whale oil. Nook.
