They lire divided Into four sections for convenience and devote two .hours per day to the study and practice of pooklng , and a short period ot time to the .tonsuroution of what they have produced. All victuals prepared are eaten by the party whose-labor and skill produces it. It has been stated that the amount of cook ing donu is very small , and indeed it is , com paratively speaking. The pics constructed and the cakes moulded are on a very diminu tive plan , and one pm made in the High school would probably contain less material thnn one piece of the average boardinjrhouso composition , while the cakes are of the si/c known as patties. "When soup is inado the quantity is limited to a pint , and. in i ousting meats the pieces are quite small. In fact , everything is conducted in a manner to entail - tail the least expense. Hut notwithstanding all tlieso precautions , it is plain to bo seen that seventy-two pupils engaged in cooking at least ono hour each day the remaining hour being devoted to tiieoi etieal study must ot necessity prepare in a wcclt's tune enough food to last u moderate family some length of time. All of which , us mentioned previously , is consumed by the scholar. It has been asserted by those who uro m a position to speak authonatively on the sub ject , that it was intended to teach only the pioecss of cooking only the plainest fare , such us is found on the table of the laborer und mechanic , yet in a bill from C. H. Moore & Co. , among other things are found apri cots , maccuroni , lemons , butter at ! iO cents per pound , etc. , while P. H. Allen calls for S1.-16 for ovsters.

Boston Globe : "Ma's up stairs changing " said the freckled-faced ing her drcbs , - little girl , tying her doll's bonnet " strings "and cabling her eye nbout for a tidy large enough to servo as n shawl for that double-jointed young person. "Oli , your mother needn't dress up for nio , " replied the female agent of the missionary society , taking n solf-satis- licd view of herself in the mirror. "Run up and toll her to come down just as bhe is , in her everyday clothes , and notto , bland on ceremony. " "Oh. but she hasn't got on her every day clothes. Mti was all dressed up in her now brown silk , 'cause she expected Mibs Dirnmond to-day. Miss Dlmmond always comes over hero to show off her nice tilings , and ma don't intend to get left. When ma saw you coming she baid , "tho Diekonsl'and I guess she was mad about something. Ma said if you haw her now dross she'd have to hear all about the poor heathen , who don't have bilk , and you'd USK her for money to buy hymn books to bend 'om. Say , do the nigger ladies tibo hymn book loaves to do their hair up on and make it M/.v.y'i Ma bays she guesses that's all the good the books do 'em , il they over got any hooks. 1 wish my doll was a heathen. " "Why , you wicked little girl ; what do yon want of a heathen doll ? " ir- quircd the missionary lady , taking u mental inventory of the new things in the parlor to got material for a homily on worldly extravagance. "So folks would bond her lots of nice hiugn to wear and fuel berry to liavo tor going about naked. Then she'd have hair to friand ; I want a doll with truly hair and eyes that roll up like Deacon Hliderbaek's when lie suvb amen on Sunday. I ain't a wicked girl nither. 'cause Uncle Dick you know Uuclu Dick , hu'b been out wet-t , and bwoarri awful and binokes in the hoiibo ho says I'm a holy terror and ho hopes I'll bo an angel pretty boon.

Uncle Dick says you oughts go to thoiblaniis'caube you'd bo bnfo there , and the iiatifsM ba berry they was such Minion ! anybody would send you to 'om.

Do you buy all your good clothes with inibfaiouary money ? Ma bays you do. " Just then the freckle-faced little girl's ma onmo into the parlor and kissed the missionary lady on the check and said she was delighted to see her , aud they proceeded to have a real sociable chat. The little girl's ma can't understand why a person who profcbses to be bo charitable as the agent does should go right over to Mibs Dimmond's and bay such ill-natured things as she did , and bhe thinks the missionary is a double-faced gossip. A Proposed Matcli. The following letter is self-explana tory : To Colonel John A.

The other day she held up the famil iar ball and asked as usual : "Now , children , what do I hold in my hand ? " "Chestnut ! " said a prompt little boy in ono of the front chairs. . 11I2MGIOUS.
