fancy my assistance might have been

marked that II was going to rough
II might as well begin learning now
a. any time. It was astonishing how
appetizing a meal he prepared with
the very fewest conveniences.
For instance, he made bread In the
sack of -four without using . bread
pan. He followed out 4 cavity In the
fiour. poured In water, added salt ana
baking powder in proper quantities.
then proceeded to mix the dough. He
did another thing In his cooking that
amused me very much. To prevent
the coffee boiling over he placed .
small green willow stick across the
open top of the pot. The lesson In
physics soon followed.
The coffee bubbled and then rushed
mp to the top Of the pot as though II
was going to boil over the sides and
extinguish the fire, but a. soon a. II
touched the willow it subsidized like
some sentient thing.
