Who (thai I Ha Coolest
In a recent Issue ot the Rural Press
found an article entitled "Cooks of the
Future." I hava road this article over
several times, and although I thought
at flrt I would forget It by the next
day I find I Just can't, and must relieve
ray feelings on tho subject in some way.
With the truly thoughtful author of
the aforesaid article I agree in condemn
ing the reference to cooking: "Upon
thorough knowledge of cookery do-
ends tha happiness of the homo." "Of
tho earth, earthy" Indeed is the man
who would find home happiness in the
gratification ot his appetlta alone.
Perhaps Mrs. Harvey la right in say-
ng that " tha girls ot to-day, generally
peaking, are not proficient cooks," Mr
experience, extending over a number of
ears lu tha various states between In
diana and our own sunny shores, haa
given ma different impresslous. I have
n variably found that tha best bred, best
edUcatod, most advanced and highly cul
tured among my lady friends wero also
the beat housekeepers. I h not assert
that they Sxiiit their time over the cook
stove and wash bench: most of them
wet so situated that they could and did
hire needy but capable women hi their
kitchen.
It Lady Mary Wortley Montague's hus
band would not have gladly prepared
the dinner for her If circumstance de
manded It, ha waa not worthy of her.
I know one man in a much humbler po
sition in life who would have doue, nay,
ha done It.
It tha lady Mary or any one else
would have her husband take her place
lu the house, she must be equally ready
and efficient to take hla duties in the
counting-house, office, store or mine
upon herself. She must be ready to as
sume the cares, worries and obligations
ot the conscientious business man who
feels the responsibility of the head of
the house the provider, the fattier, the
huslmud. By all means let us have rec
iprocity. No work which tends to the
comfort of the home Is unwomanly:
neither can I call it unmanly.
It s all very well for a man to be un
willing to have his wife stand over the
hot stove cooking cakes while he cats;
but why Bhould not the gentleman who
"would stiiid by the stove, too, until
there were cakes enough for both use
his strength and time on the woodpile
until hla wife called htm to breakfast ?
The world is not yet ripe for Bellamy's
theorioa, and until it is our farmers will
personally do or superintend their own
work, and their wives will perforce do
the sama thing.
I think we who have daughters to
raise need have no fear tn training them
o be good cooks or housekeepers. I do
not imlieve tn allowing them to dabble
in It, to be mere amateurs. Up to a
girl's fifteenth year she is Incapable ot
persistent, deep study, luose years,
which Bhould in any case be spent un
der the careful training ot a judicious
mother, can easily be mado to suruce
for all she abvlutly needs to know of
housework. Maude a. reasteo in uurai

Mechanical Helps Needed la tha Kitchen.
.Where would be the enterprise and
... u,
for the farmers wive ana daughters 7
Where the productive farms, the bounti
ful harvest, the tasteful homes, but for
the toller whose worlds are limited to
the sacred confines of the farmers' homes?
Labor-saving machines Boinehow find
their way Into the field and barn, but
hovr few are ever seen tn the kitchen !
Conveniences to save the farmer time
and trouble are, from time to time,
thought of and Introduced, but the
ivomou ot tho family must do the beat
they can, plodding on the same old way,
and are expected never to get tired, run
down or wear out from the continual
strain on nerve and muscle. Not that
farmers are more neglectful of their
families than other men, but that house
work on. the farm la of all work the
hardest on women. And from some
cause attention has never been directed
to methods of saving them from Its hard
ships. This injustice, for what else can
we call it I produces not only a broken-
down, prematurely oil class of women,
but it causes a discontent which has
doubtless marred the peace of many a
home. The ceaseless work may bocome
task from which death may sometimes
aoetn a happy release. I lie sacred walls
ot home may appear as a prison house
to tho chafed, fretful spirit which vainly
longs for some relaxation and rest. The
farmer's noble occupation is brought into
disrepute with those sufferers, who never
think of any possibility ot relief except
to sell tho farm, rent or leave it to weeds
and briars, and go Into bo me other busi
ness. Hence we often boo deserted, neg
lected farms, while the towns and cities
aro overflowing with their surplus uueui

Missouri state board of agriculture.
Home Attractions.
You may have all tho colors of the
rainbow in a room, costly furniture, brio'
a-brao of all kinds and patterns, but if
you lack good ta.to to arrange, or, as
w sometimes say, fix up, the room will
bo nolther attractive nor pleasant. I was
once in a room scant of f urnlturo, noth
ing In It rich or costly, no pictures, only
ono small-sized motto, " Boar ye one an
other's burdens," hung low over a stand
having a bunch ot roses on it, but the
words of the motto and the odor of the
roses are stamped on my memory and
always come to me whenever I am try
ing to arrange a room.
That "cleanliness is noxt to godliness
most of us have heard from childhood
Dirt and filth breed disease as well as
discontent, and every room In the house
should bo neat. When we get everytnlng
arranged aright and all cleared up we
need order to keep so, and an every-day
setting things to rights, doing what
needs to be done, when it needs to be
done; that is what makes the home
pleasant and keeps the temper smooth.
Kind acts are a force which nothing
can resist. Greatest of all characteris
tics is charity, that Christian love which
bears the burdens, rights wrongs and
takes all hate and sourness out of the
home life. I might mention a attrac
tions in a home a well-furnlshed table,
books, muslo, games, but you would say
without the characteristics I have named
already these would amount to but little ;
but refined natures needhem and wan
dering ones are attracted by them, and
those who are beaten in the battle of
iifo need all pleasant and pure things in
tho home. The remembrance of all such
Is sweet to you and to me, and we are
attracted by the flowers and fruit and
kind attention and the real interest in
in our welfare which can come from no
place but home. Miss Ellen M. Gleason"

Do Ilees Injur Fruit f
Tho following notes by a correspondent
of the Traver Advocate are worthy of
reproduction : " I find that many fruit
growers are still of tha opinion that they
suffer great loss from the ravage of
boos. The charge made against tho Immj
la a unjust and unreasonable as it
would be to charge the housefly with
doing the same work. Neither of these
Insects Is capable of breaking the akin
ot a grape, because they hava no Loots
with which to do it; but both will feast
on the eweet Julc when once an open
ing is made. If grapes burst on the
vine or are cut by yellow jackots they
are worthless, and It Is on'y such that
tho bees food upon. Prof. McLiin la em
ployed by the government to make ex
periments in apiculture in all of IU
ramifications. In on of his reports he
says: I have repotted my experiments
ot last spring for testlui; the capacity of
boos for Injuring frul Hi, confined
two colonic of Italian bees, tto of
hybrids and two of Syrians In a house,
and endeavored by heat, etc, to bring
about all the conditions of a severs
drought.
"He says: 'The bees were repeatedly
brought to tho stage of hunger, thirst
and starvation, the test continuing for
forty days. I obtain ed 13 varieties of
choice grapes, and every inducement
and opportunity was offered the bee to
appease their hunger an I thirst by at
tacking the fruit that was placed .liefore
them. Mark this: Seme ot the grapes
were dipped tn ayrup and hung in the
hive between the combs, some placet!
on plnlos berore the hives, and grapes
were suspended In cluster from the
posts and rafter. The bee lapped and
sucked all the syrup from the skins,
leaving the berries .smooth. They dally
visited the grape In great numbers, and
took advantage ot every crack tn the
epidermis or opening at the stem, appro
priating to their use every drop of juice
therefrom, but tbsy mado no attempt to
grasp the cuticle with their mandibles
or claws. I removed the epidermis care
fully from dozens of graoe of various
kinds and placed them on plate before
Ute hive. The bees lapped up all the
juloe on the outside of the film sur
rounding the segments of the grape.
leaving tills delicate film dry aud shining,

were unable to penetrate.
" ' I punctured the skins ot grapes of
all kinds by passing needle of various
sizes through the grape, and placed thesa
before the bees. The needle used were
In size from a flue cambrlo needle to
sacking needle; the amount of Juice ap
propriated was in proportion to the size
ot tho opening in the skin aud the
number of segment of the grape broken.
The same was true in the case of grapes
burst from over-ripeness. Bees are not
only unable to penetrate the epidermis
ot grapes, but they also appear to be un
able, when Impelled by the dlreet neces
sity, to penetrate the film surrounding
the berry, even after the epidermis is re
moved. Grae9 so prepared, without
exception, lay before tho hives until dried
up.' More evidence is at hand,. but the
foregoing is sufficient. In the polllna-
Uo1 OJ tue nower9 tne bee is an
lm-
portant factor, and it is here that the
bee doe a work for us which is a great
benefit to all fruit growers and adds
greatly to our Income. If we do not
wish to raise bees, lot us encourage
others to do so, and it they do annoy us
at times, let us remember they pay us
well for all we suffer."

Canadian beet sugar factories are pay
ing $3 a ton for beets which yield 11 per
cent ot saccharine matter. Beets raised
by the company at Farnham are found
to cost $4 ton. Farmers are not gclng
to raise beets and sell them at cost. It
Canadian factories can pay $5 a ton for
beets with 11 per cent, what ought Cal
ifornia factories to pay for richer beets,
with a bounty of a cents a pound and a
market one-third higher for their sugar?
This question ought to be considered by
our farmers when factory owners want
to contract for beets showing 14 per
cent at $4 a ton. Tho Farnham factory
ships a carload a day ot u are flood sugar.

REBELLION IN HONDURAS.
It Is tjulrklj Snppressed and the Insar
gent Leaders Shot.
General Longlnas Sanchez beaded a
rebellion against President Bogran of
Honduras and beselged him in one of
the wards ot Tegucigalpa, the capital
Bogran cut his way out during the night
of Nov. 10 and escaped, closely pursued
by troops sent out by Sanchez.
On the 11th it became known that
Barillas, dictator ot Guatemala, had dis
patched 1000 men to aid Bogran. This
caused great excitement in Guatemala,
as it waa known that if Barillas Inter
fered Ezeta of Salvador would tend men
to Intercept the Guatemalans and a gen
eral Central American war would result.
Nicaragua and Costa Rica were under
stood to stand ready to back Salvador as
against Honduras and Guatemala com
bined.
Bogran gathered an army and Nov. 14
he recaptured the capital, after a bloody
fight lasting two days. Barillas' 1000
men were stopped on the frontier when
Ezeta announced bis intention to send a
force to head off any that Barillas might
send to Bogran'B aid.
Sanchez and bis leaders were captured
where they had intrenched themselves
In a ward of the city, Nov. 15, and with
out the formality of a trial were taken
to the plaza and shot.
President llogran of Honduras Is one
of the most enterprising as well as en-
ergetlo men lu Central America and a
great impetus to foreign Immigration,
and especially to industrial enterprises
engineered by foreigners, has been a re

Koch's Consumption Cure.
Dr. Koch's consumption cure by Inoc
ulation with a specially prepared lymph
which kills the consumption bacillus is
proving a perfect succoss in all except
extreme cases.
Koch has reconsidered his announced
determination to make public the com
position and method ot preparation of
the lymph with which he operates, on
the ground that Ignorant and incom
petent people would bungle the work and
sacrifice lives. Ho has communicated
his secret, however, to several German
scientists.
All that the public knows is that inoc
ulation with the lymph, which la under
stood to contain metallic substances,
results lu a swelling of the parts affected
wtth tuberculosis, followed by a slough
ing away. The lymph, it is asserted.
does not kill the bacillus but carries it
away with the diseased Ussus. In cases
very far gone with consumption a cure
is not promised, and In serious cases con
tinual relnoculations may bo necessary,
though many cures are reported in Ger
man hospitals. It Is believed that in a
few years consumption may be rendered
as rare as it How is frequent.
Railroad Wreck.
A trestle fell and threw the south

The accident occured early In the
morning ot Nov. 13. There were 141 per

moved a rail, thus causing the disaster,
and that the wrecked portion of the
bridge had recently been rebuilt and was

The reason that colors in an Orients!

same reason mat an old Oriental car

Asiatic dislike to be dazzled; to La '

though he dyes his wools in intense
colors, having few others, he so com
bines them, 6o mixes them with black
and with that dark, cream of which
Europe linn never caught the secret,
that the total result is restful, and tha
very idea of glareor of full daylight
on the patterns is entirely absent.
It is precisely the same with Oriental
jewel. Their natural glare it kept
down by combination and want cf
polish. The Asiatic who carved la
jade and sank deep inscription into
sapphire could have faceted precious
stones a well as the cutters of Amster
