French Woman Famed
for Skill as Cook

The famous Bhillat-Savarin died
February 2, 1926. He was celebrated
for his book called 1.-THE Physiology
Of Taste" wherewith he established
the French tradition for good cooking,
says the Detroit News.
At banquet held in Paris recently
in his honor 1t was remarked that
there was no woman guest. Some
body has been explaining the omis-
sion on the ground that both the great
epicures and the great cooks have all
been men. ...
That may be broadly true, but not
long before Brillat-Savarin's days
there was one woman cook who
achieved an almost unparalleled popu-
larity. This was Marie, the cook of
the Paris fermier-general Of the
period, whose dinners at the Elysee
palace had wide celebrity. The
host would not employ a man cook,
and though this at first caused aston
ishment among the people whom he
asked to dinner, Marie's achievements
soon became famous.
According to an historian Of the
time, she used to be called like a
"prima donna" at the end of a
courses, and she was enthusiastically
toasted as lie Gordon Bleu.' Gordon
Blue, though usually applied to men
cooks In our day, was originally used
Of French women cooks, and was
probably derived from the blue aprons
which they wore In the kitchen.

all of us are products Of environ
ment. None of us is responsible for
our old prejudices. The Negro must
remember that it takes a long time
to overcome habits and preiudices.
His progress is bound to be slow, but
l feel that it will be sure. 1t will
come by mutual understanding and
consideration rather than by legisla-
ton. l believe that the outcome of
this case will be benefit to the white
and the black man alike.
No Mistrial.
In his charge, Judge Murphy en-
phasized the point that excusable
homicide arose only from circum-
stances that gave the appearance of
imminent or actual danger. Accord
ing to Judge Murphy's charge a man
had no right to resist assault with
violence if he could safely retreat.
On this point, however, he added,
"a man is not obliged to retreat if
he is assaulted in his own dwelling"
Prior to making his charge, Judge
Murphy denied motion of defense
counsel to declare a mistrial because
of statements made by Prosecutor
Robert Toms in his closing argu-
ments to the jury. The defense
claimed that Toms had made an in
direct reference to the fact that
Sweet had not taken the stand in his
own defense. This, the defense con-
tended, was prejudicial. Judge Muir
ply based his denial upon the
grounds that he could find no ele-
ment in Toms remarks that could
be construed as prejudicial to the de-
PENDANT.

What the Fairy Told
Three Married Women

Three women once went to the Mar
rage Fairy. The first woman said ::
my husband is not very charming or
entertaining, but he is proud of my
beauty, and sends me abroad in furs
and satins and jewels. How long will
it last?" And the fairy answered !:
"It will last till the next panic in Wall
street, when your husband will lose
his money and put bullet through his
head"
And the second woman said: Il do
not care for wealth or luxury if I can
be adOred. And I am. I have been
married fifteen years, and my husband
still thinks me the lOveliest woman
on earth. How long will it last?" And
the fairy answered: "You have al
ready had it longer than nearly all the
mOst-loved women. 1t will last for
eighteen months longer, and then
cease quite suddenly, you will never
know why"
And the third woman said: II don't
seem to need what most women need.
We are poor, and I never had really
beautiful dress In my life. But don't
care. My husband never pays me a
great deal of attention. I don't re-
member that he ever complimented
me in his life. sit with him in the
evening after my work is done. And
If by chance he meets my eyes and
smiles, am perfectly happy. How
long will 1t last?" And the fairy an
swered: ut will last till the day Of
your golden wedding, and then longer
still. Do you really want it foreverT

Climbers Of Table
Mountain Paw Toll

News Of mountain tragedy rings
through Capetown like a funeral bell.
It becomes almost q personal tragedy
to everyone. Table mountain looms
Into the clouds so close to the city
that every detail of its great rock
face can be seen from the main street,
and that makes the fact Of death on
Its slopes very close and vivid.
Table mountain has a dark history.
From the earliest days climbers have
met disaster, and there is one precipi-
tous part, known as Skeleton gorge
where the bones of a number Of long
dead men have been found.
The noted white cloth of clouds
which settles over Table mountain has
been responsible for many fatalities.
inexperienced people lose their way
and, finding darkness approaching.
stumble madly downward toward the
city lights. Falls Of hundreds of feet
await them. .
Whenever a person is reported miss
Ing parties composed of members of
the Mountain club leave their work
and set out to search the dangerous
lodges and ravines. An appeal for a
search party never fails. If the miss
ing person is not found by the week
end, hundreds Of people Join in the
quest.
Table mountain attracts scores Of
new climbers on every public holiday,
and 1t is then that the most tragedies
occur. Often the body Of lonely

HE directed me by speaking to me

l came to st. Paul at Gods behest
and have achieved marvellous success
in His name, both at the Memorial

and by the same divine power have
healed many cases of extreme sick
ness that baffled the doctors, includ-
ing Mrs. Minnie Tate, Mrs. W. F.

nothing to skeptical people and are
little appreciated by the masses.
Unholy Methods Used.
Some of the unholy methods which
were used in the course against me
four years ago are now being employ

ences have proven that victories won
by unrighteous methods are short

He is with me, and they are stand

To the st. Paul Echo:
What about Y. M. c. A.? Our
population of Minneapolis and st.
Paul is around six thousand. think
a population of this size could con-
struct and maintain such an institu-
ton.
OF course I realize that there are
about twenty churches in the two
cities. But the churches are not So
cial institutions. Although the
churches are being used as such,
thus using them for social purposes
weakens their moral obligation.
Let's give a thought to our social
development. If, however, you
think that such an institution is not
needed, let's give our hearty support
to Phyllis Wheatley, and to the Y.
