CULINARY ART.

Since the days when Eve concocted
toOthsome salad for Adam from tho
succulent green things OF that wonder
full garden, the culinary art has taken
rank with the other fine arts. Like all
the other artistic geniuses, cooks are
born and not made. This is not said to
discourage those ardent individuals
who lack divine fore. for in their be-
half have appeared q series of guide
books pointing the way to the human
heart by this surest Of all routes, the
ailmentary canal.
In the light OF the present day scien-
tific methods in the kitchen ~ else
where, the old-time cook book bears
the rare flavor OF interest that an
tiquity lends.
In a strange old volume published \
half century or more ago by famous
Philadelphia cook. the author sets
forth her own value in modest pre-
face. in which she speaks OF herself
as celebrated for many years for the
superiority of every article she made
in South Nine street, above Spruce"
She advises every woman to purchase
the book at once. 1t will give you all
better meals" she says, and make
your cost of living less." There was
little tariff discussion in that day, but
the increased cost OF foodstuffs met
with the same disapproval that the
housewife pours out so lavishly In this
twentieth century. ..4
But the most p1ent argument Of
all which the author-cook uses to per
suade a bygone generation OF house
keepers to part with their silver In
purchase of this guide book to the
heart of man, lies. In the statement:
1T will keep your husbands, sons and
brothers in excellent humor."
With all our science and skill, the
cook book of today can offer nothing
more appealing, and the culinary ex-
pert who can put upon the market re-
cipes that will guarantee bringing the
disposition of modern man to the
state Of perfection and efficiency pro-
missed by the cook from Philadelphia.
may rest assured Of q place among the
six best sellers.

Official Divorce Proctor.

Some months ago divorce proctor
was appointed by private citizens in
Kansas City, who made up his salary
by personal contributions. The ex-
pertinent has. proved satisfactorE and
now, after contest, the county conrt
has made him an official of the
county, to be paid from, Its funds
He Is to have his place beside the
Judge hearing the divorce case and
be given the right of Interpolation.
This brings the experiment down
to a legal basis. where 1t may be-
viewed with keenest interest. One
man sitting as a proctor offers no
thought of a panacea for the divorce
evil, but 1t is possible for him, by
diligent inquiry into the circum-
stances of cases which court might
not make and interested lawyers
would not disclose. to be of vital
service to society. One thing is quite
certain, in city whose divorces run
one to every three marriages, the
proctor should have no difficulty in
finding plenty to do.

that political conditions are SO much

tone to his optimism.

The Colored Mans Advance.

The. white people of the United
States have nothing to fear from the
negro. The, problem Of the latter
will solve itself under proper influ-
ences---influences which the outnum-
bering white men control The negro
rises when given a chance. He sub
mits to every good Influence, he
takes an education, he acquires prop
erty, he is loyal and lawabiding. on
the average. The responsibility for
his advancement, then, logically lies
with those who control the conditions
making 1t possible.
In 1870 practically so per cent OF
all American negroes were illiterate.
Ten years later the percentage was
70, in 1890 it was 57.1 per cent; in
1900, 44.4, and in 1910 1t was only
30.5 per cent, Where do we find
greater continuous progress and de-
velopment? In Louisiana, however,
they do not favor negro education
with much zeal and promote with
less. There nearly SO per cent of
the negroes are still illiterate, and in
some other southern states of similar
prejudices the percentages of illit-
eracy are nearly as great.
Whose fault is 1t II the negro is
not educated? But II education be
not a fair test Of his .worthiness,
Judge the negro along any other
average line of human endeavor, the
acquisition of property, the orderly
pursuit of industry in various call
ings, the planting Of homes and the
observance of law, and You will find
he responds Just about in proportion
to the opportunity he gets. A race
that does SO much for itself is en-
titled to all that a stronger race can
do for it.
