A Serin on to Girl on Cookinjr.
Cooking classes have leen popular
among fashionable young ladies of late
years. Hut there is no cooking clash
which quite equals in its opjort..nitY
for excellent in format i en that v. hen
you may Unci at home. Pu-sumwij' thai
I am talking to a girl who ha- jus: left
school, I :iuiif 3011 to make u ol
yourleisui'in akiutr lsoni from voui
mother. 'J )iei-1 an ahsolut -pl nr'id
feeling of iiidpei.duee in knowing how
to make peri ectly light, swet substan
tial bread. Then try your hand at bis
cuits, muilins, com bread, toast and all
the different forms into which bread
stuffs may be blended. Toast seems a
simple thing enough, but it is frequently
so ill made that it does not deserve the
name. Gruel, a necessity of the sick
room, is often a hopeless mystery to
women who have the vaguest idea of
bow it is evolved from the raw material.
After you have mastered the bread
question, try meats and vegetables. Any
bright triil ho can e. mprehend an
equation, or iormulate a syllogism, cm
overcome the diJIicultis which bset
ht-r when learning to cook. Lucent
syrups, golden cake, delicately browned
bread, quivering jellies, melting creams,
and the whole set of material things
glorified, bef-ause made for love's sake,
and for the good of one's dear ones, arc
fit expressions for any woman. The
charm of this accomplishment lies in
the fact that it imparts to its owner a
gratifying sense of power, it bestows on
her. ton, the power of blessing and rest
ing those she loves best. Wherever the
cook goes she takes her blessing along.
One may tire of the sweetest singing,
of the loveliest poetry, of the finest
painting, ami of the most witty conver
sation, but of good cooking, never. Yet
I will be sorry to have you contented to
be only a cook, only a domestic machine.
That is not my meaning or intention.
Be artist, poet, inventor, and well-bred
woman; be the most and the best that
you can, and add, as a matter of course,
ability to keep house well and to do all
that good housekeeping includes. Sun

Love's ley Dream.
The other evening as a patient police
man was pacing his beat on Howard
street a young man passed him and ran
up a flight .f stone steps and rang the
bell. The ofllcer heard the door open,
a young ladv's voice sing out, and he
said to himself:
" "Pis love's vounsr dream."
lie was just moving on when another
young man appreached, looked up at the
house, and in a sleepish way asked the
officer if he had seen any one go in. He
was informed of what had occurred a
moment beiore. and he gasped:
"It was that sneaking chap from Cass
avenue!"
Tie walked on, and the officer walked,
but ten minutes later the young man
climbed the stone steps with a pail
of water in his hand and emptied its
contents over every stone. He was
sitting on the horse-block opposite as
the officer came back, meaning to stay
there until his plan unfolned or until
be froze to death. lie did n't freeze. In
about ten minutes the door opposite
opened, two voices weie heaid for a
moment, and then the young man from
Cass avenue came down the steps on
Ids ear. his elbow, his shoulder-blade
Ins heel, or on most anv other part of
the human make-up. He struck the
sidewalk, shot across it to the gutter
and came to a stand-still with his bead
in the snow. There was a peal of
laughter from the house as the door
shut, and the watcher on the horse
block chuckled and remarked:
That heartless laugh, wasnot uttered
by a woman w ho loves I'm hunky !"
Five minutes later he carefully
crawled up the icy steps, and the good
policeman heard him cordially greeted,
and mused :
"Well, if there ain't more'u seventeen
different ways of finding out if a girl
loves you !" Detroit Free Prest.
The Detroit Free tress tells the fol
lowing story of "a good bey :" 'He was
standing at the corner of Campau and
Jeferson avenues when a policeman
came along, and pointing to a box at hjs
feet, this goo! ,boy said : "The farmer
who lost that off his sleigh will feel
awful bad. I s'pose you'll take it to the
station, won't you V" "You are an hon
est boy." replied the officer. "Some boys
would have lugged that box off home.
Yes, I'll take it to the station." It was
a stout box, -weighing over eighty
jKMinds, and when the officer set it down
in the station house all his bone3 ached.
Some said it wjis butter and some said
cheese, and so it was opened. The con
tents were cobble stones. The officer
ran all the way back, and he spent hours
looking for the good boy, but without
any luck. The g. b. knew his business."
"Excuse me, madam, but I should like
to ask why you look at me so savagely,"
said a gentleman to a lady at a party
-Oh! I beg pardon, sir; I took you for
my husband."
A good action is never thrown away
and that is why so few of them are
een lying around loose.
Many a young man who considers
himself an Apollo is only an Apollogy
for a man.

A London dispatch of Jan. 11th says
business on Stock Exchange is lifeless,
pending the news of the sittings of the
conference at Constantinople. The
continued cold weather also depresses
all kinds of business. The prevailing
opinion is that there will be no war,
even if the conference breaks up. The
exceptional strength of consols is due
to the cheapness of money and the
growing feeling that whatever Russia
and Turkey may do, England will not
be embroiled A Belgrade dispatch
to the London Timts of Jan. llth says
that it is stated there that the Turks
attacked Raratz, Jan. Pth, and 210 men
were killed and wounded in the action.
They attacked Xegotin also, but were
repulsed. The Tuiks have burned two
villages in the Morava Valley. The
limes' correspondent ados that the
Turks perhaps intend to violate the
Servian soil, seize the south bank of the
Danube, and fortify the crossing place
on both sides of the Ibar before the
Russians or Roumanians can antici
pate them A dispatch from London

between the Constitutional army, 2,500

which lasted about three hours, and
ended in the complete route of the
former and the capture of their Commander-in-Chief,
Gen. Aparicio. It
was a hard-fought encounter; both
sides behaved bravely, losing altogether
about 400 killed and a much larger
number wounded A Brownsville
dispatch of Jan. 12th, says: Renultas
has surrendered Matamoras to Cartinas,
who represents the Diaz party.
A dispatch from St Petersburg says
it is believed the Porte is simply play
ing with the conference. Further con
cessions by the Powers will only in
crease Turkish arrogance. Russia's
self-respect demands that the negotia
tions be prolonged no further, but en
ergetic measures, such as General Igna
tiefTs recall, be adopted as a more de
termined Russian attitude. . . The Rou

that the Porte make reparation for the

Notwithstanding the presrnce of
dark, invisible tints for rnid-wlntercoa-iuim-a,
there is al.io a marked fancy for
lighter hues composed of gray Akh
brown, and producinc cuir-color, iube-of-rosefi,
and other kindred tent shad'.
These are most seen in the tine catnelV
hair costumes that are made up with
velvet. This camel hair cwttt from
$3 to E a yard, and is wry dillicult to
obtain-even at these prices: it has maiiv
sharer knots of tlie tin iune of A-biih

to the touch. This is made ut. into

tcrw camel's ha.r trimmed vith peal
brown velvet. The basque is like the ,
postilion of riding habits, pointed in
front, sloped up to the taper of the

square behind. There are if-5tilion

I oniy trimming is a narrow piping fold f
of velvet on the edge, or it may b ,
lengthwise iocket flafi3. In front there
is sometimes a wide Jovphine Indt,
beginning very broad in the under-artn
seam and sloping narrower toward the j
middle, where it is fastened by three (
buttons and button holes. The neck Is
very high, and finished by a slawLng
velvet collar, with a folded scarf of the
camel's hair tied in a sailor knot, or
else, instead of t!us sailor tie. there is
a square plastron of the velvet 3et in.
The sleeves are as tight as comfort will
permit, and are either lined with flan
nel or else wadded and quilted, to give
the arm a round look; tlie cufl is of
velvet, and sometimes there are six vel
vet buttons, with mock button-holes, on
the outer seam of the sleeve, reaching
from the wrist to the elbow. The over
skirt is open in front, with wide revers
of velvet trimming, the edges sloping of every fanner to form a habit of read

fur lined cloak is worn with them, and !
this cloak is left in the carriage while
the wearer pays visits.
Street suits cling more closely than
ever, now that the cold weather makes
such a fashion comfortable, and bustles
are gradually disappearing. The lonz

Mr. I-. V. Map-s in the Xew York
WttV.bj Timts. says : Thl ta the tirr e
of year, on the farm, to read a much
practical agricultural literature aa pos
sible. The fanner who succeeds in his
business is a man who is well posted
up in the intricacies of his particular
j vocation. The unintelligent and Indo
! lent never succeed in any calling. This
j principle apphes to every department
of life. It should be the determJnation
and important bearing upon the best
raodes of managing a farm and causing
it to produce tne
best possible croM.
If the farmer has not a map of his
farm, now is th time to commence one.
containing a numbered diagram of each
field under cultivation. It will prove
invaluable in enabling you to keep a

record of crops, expenses and

much per acre as asother, ascectalm the
cause, and if possible, make sach aa
improvesMftt upon it as will bring it
