The class engaged In mustering the science
of preparing ample breakfasts , solid dinners
und light suppers , 1 $ compcicd of seventy
young Indies and two young gentlemen , all
but Uveivonf uliom nro students in the High
school , whllu thu dozen specified uro eighth
grade pupils. 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. Milton , Ilogers & Sons , in
their itcmued bill enumerate French wafllc
i-onR,0 tiatcnt potato mashers utti cost of W.fiO ,
pastry brushes , Hoston brown bread molds ,
two doyen Husslau iron bread-pans , lemon-
siuec/cis , three upple-parers , spoons , table
spoons , pudding boilers , mountain cake puns ,
etc. Included hi the list are articles without
number , which the ordinary fam
ily liavo not as yet heard
of and which our mothers und grand
mothers hud not the advantage. While the
class of cooking done ut present may bu
plain , it Is safe toassoit th.it when any fancy
work is icquircd the cooking school depart

The Wicked Little Girl.
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. Ma'll bo
down in a minulo , to you needn't take
your clonk on * . Hho bald she'd bo * my
cars if I asked you to. Ma's putting on
that old drebs she had last year , 'caiif-o
bho raid she didn't want you to think
she was able to give much thin timoand
bho needed a new unit ! worse than the
( luccn of the Cannon Ball iblands needed
religion. 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.
Ho bays ho neversuen aheillbon hungry
enough to eat you , 'loss 'twas n blind
ono , an' you'd bCt a blind pagan's tcuh !
on edge to he'd never banner after anymore
moro missionory , Unolo Dick'b awful
funny , and makes pa and ma die laugh
ing bomolimes. "
"Your Undo Richard is u bad , do
waved wretch , and ought to have re
mained out wo&t , whore his style is ap
preciated. He sots a horrid example
for little girls like you. "
"Oh , I think hoV nico. Ho showed

ho'b teaching mo to whibtlo when ma
ain't round. That's a pretty
you've got , ain't it ? 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 only bling I know any thing about

some one to mgct him , and so I liavo de
cided to challenge you.
I have boon only waiting till I could
train down RO line that removing my
spectacles and the cotton fiom my oars
would make half dillercnco in my
weight , and now that I have reached
that point 1 yourn to get hold of you.
I now challenge you , John Lawrence

All kinds of talk shall count. Every
thing goes slang , blow , brag , bluster ,

Boston Transcript : There is a Bos
ton kindergarten whore the teacher is
very particular in instrueling the chil
dren in correct ideas of form , and often
roiwats her object lessons in this
branch. She always begins by holding
up a rubber ball and a string.
