i These outline lessons in cooking
which Miss Bell has prepared, consis
of twenty lessons, or rather more, al
some of the lessons are designed tt
occupy teacher and pupil more thar
one day. They treat of the method,
of cooking food products which are
in universal use in Hawaii There is
nothing in these lessons about prepar-
ing truffles but there is about cook
ing taro. There is nothing about how
| to prepare lobster a la Neuberg, but
/ there is about how to tell fresh fish,
how to clean fish, and how to cook
fish in several different ways, and how
to make stufing for fish and how to
| cook over scraps of fish into palatable,
| inviting and wholesome dishes.
The outlines begin with a suggestion
of the three essentials of life. air.
water, food and their relation to hu-
man life, their source and composition
and the physical and chemical changes
they undergo. In teaching air the child
is TO be taught how to light a fire,
how to manage stove. In connection
with water the child is taught how to
wash dishes, to scour knives, to clean
tins, to take care of dishcloth, of
q sink, kitchen, cupboard, how to
sweep, how to scrub floors, and how
to lay table,
Then begins food and cooking, how
foods are classified, the principal meth
dds of cooking, as boiling, stewing,
broiling, roasting, baking, frying, and
in connection with this the elements
OF the chemistry of digestion are
taught. Then comes a lesson about
how to boil rice, and oatmeal with. the |
simpler facts about the chemistry and |
of cereals and flour.
Eggs, their composition and methods |
of cooking take up another lesson. |
Rice and milk form the subject of an
other lesson. Yeast, baking powder,
bread making, biscuit making and the |
variety of matters connected with these |
take up two or three lessons. Fruits, |
such as bananas and coeoanuts and
now to prepare them, and tea, coffee
and cocoa making take up another. Po-
tatoes and taro, macaroni soups and
soup making, cooking vegetables. fish
and meat, are other subjects. One
lesson is given to showing how to know
young chicken, how to draw and
lean chicken. how to sever the parts,
and how to cook them. There is an
'ther lesson for pork, and another
essen for desserts.
This outline as prepared by Miss Bell
S to be printed at Lahainaluna and
'nough copies are to be struck off to
upply all that are needed in the schools
where the subject is taken up.

A Very Practical Christian.

A benevolent old man who lived on
his farm In Iowa never refused shelter
to any who might ask 1t of him. His
many friends demonstrated with him
about this characteristic, knowing that
many INSCRIPTIONS hoboes would avail
themselves Of the opportunity and that
there was great danger Of the old
man being robbed. To these remon-
strances the old man replied that he
believed in practical Christianity"
But" said one of his friends, this
seems very impractical. Suppose one
OF these men took It into his head to

Flip In Jokes Like These Between Each
Kouthful.


Kouthfu.
A doctor says, Don't allow a meal
to pass without a Joke between each
mouthfui.' This will enhance the val.
ue Of humor to q great degree. Dinner
will move along something like this:
MU1thful OF soup-scTpar1s OF mifth,
flakes of laughter and breadcrumbs
pervading the air. Mouthful Of roast
duck reminds domestic humor1st of
something.
''Do you know why a duck goes
into the waterT Long silence and
more extensive eating. Domestic hu-
morist answers 1t himself as follows:
S'For divers reasons" More bread,
vegetables and general good feeling.
"Why does he come outY' No answer
and no sound but that of an old joke
under the table cracking its knuckles.
''For sun-dry purposes" explains the
ready and brainy man, looking casual
ly at memorandum on his cuff. More
dinner and then, "Why does he go in
again2"
Nothing can be heard but the low
mutter of a thinker, perhaps, as he
grapples with the great problem. "To
aiquidate his BILL" Yells of laughter,
screams of delight and astonishing
feats Of digestion promoted by mirth.
"And why does he again come outT
More thought and mastication; then
the gastric jester says, ITO make a
little run on the bank" and amid
great shower of vest huttnns and mirth
the genial. all round tonic humorist

FRENCH PEASANTS.
They Know Nothing About Cooking as
a Fine Art.

We are accustomed to think of cook
ing as being universal art among the
French. We seem to have heard
vaguely of delicious repasts concocted
out of nothing with the help of a char
coal fire and small pot.
Certainly among the bourgeoisie that
miracle seems sometimes to accom-
plish itself. but In the matter of cook
cry as fine art the peasant belongs to
n different world. He knows very lit
tie about 1t and does not wish to know
because 1t Is regarded as q costly and
unnecessary luxury. His breakfast
consists of thin soup made of beans
and water, with perhaps taste of ba-
con for flavoring, and thin slices of
brown bread to give it substance. Po-
tatoes and one other dish-frequently
MONDAY meal. The supper will be
more sustaining, with thin wine or
cider as beverage.
Jacques Bonhomme has a perfect
genius for discovering things which
are good for food, which yet cost moth
ing, and sometimes he eats things that
seem revolving to us, though / am
quite willing to admit that clean or un-
clean in the matter Of food is largely a
question of inherited prejudice.
Normandy Is rich province, and its
peasants are better fed than those of
other parts of the country There is a
tradition that in olden days meat was
so cheap and plentiful that 1t was used
to feed the pigs at the monasteries.
They drink great deal of cider, espe-
cially In the pays de Caux." and it Is
said that this is the explanation of
their bad teeth. The dress of the
peasant women in this part Of Nor
mandy is extremely picturesque, with
the long frilled cloak and the hood,
which sometimes reveals a pretty, pi-
quaint face.
AS a contrast to the general frugali-
ty of the peasants lives there are the
wedding feasts and other festivities,
when they eat enormously, apparently
having the power of laying in stock
against times Of comparative fasting.

SOLAR INFLUENCE.
II Is Difficult For Fire to Burn In
the SunIiqI1t.


"Did you ever know that fires don't
burn as well In sunlight as they do In
the shade or at nightT' asked my
friend, the man much given to hunting
and fishing. "Of course they don't
seem to because of the greater light
from the sun, but mean as an actual
fact they don't. I noticed this thing
when on a hunting trip up in Maine
first, and how 1t happened to attract
my attention was that the fire went
out, totally out, before the sticks were
entirely consumed. The wood was dry
and resinous, and there was no reason
why every particle of 1t shouldn't have
burned. The guide told me he had no
ticed the same sort of thing innumer-
able times when fires were burning in
the sunlight, and this started me on an
investigation which proved in actual
practice that open fires not only don't
burn so well when the suns rays are
shining on them and fail to throw out
as much heat by thermometric tests
but often are actually extinguished by
the sun If the rays are bright and
strong enough. Coal fires are affected
just the same as wood. Strange to say,
several scientists to whom l have ap-
pealed asserted that the suns rays
could have no effect whatever on a
fire. They do however. l know this
beyond all shadow of doubt, and l
wonder what the reason Is. Other sci
entists say it's because the heat of the
sun adds to the consumption of oxygen
of the atmosphere which Is necessary
to blaze and also produces carbon,
which helps to extinguish the fire.

CATS, WHISPERS.
These Sensitive Organs Are Relic of
Jungle Days.

1t is perhaps not generally known
pecially at night, is due almost as
much to his whiskers as to his eyes
To any one who goes to a menagerie
and looks at the giant cats of the for
est-the lion and his like-the purpose
of these vibrissae, as science names
the hairs that project from the muzzle
and from above the eyes, is evident
enough.
They are delicate organs of touch,
wonderful mechanisms of warning.
Each one grows from a follicle, or
gland, nerved to exquisite sensibillty.
Its slightest contact with any obstacle
Is distinctly felt by the animal, though
the hair itself is tough and insensible.
Those exaggerated whiskers on the
muzzle often project to each side of
the animal so far that from point to
point they stretch to just the width of
his body.
Imagine, now, lion stealing through
a jungle at night, tracking his prey,
where the stir of twig gives alarm.
His long hairs indicate through the
incest nerves any object that may be
In his velvet path. A touch stops him
short before pushing through some
close thicket where the rustling leaves
and boughs would tell aloud his pres
ence. Wherever his head may be
thrust without a warning from the
vibrissae there his body may pass
noiselessly, and it is their aid, in con-
junction with the soft cushions of his
feet, that enables him to travel as ST.
lently as the snake.-Scrap Book.
