COOK WHO WORKS BY GUESS
She Is a Genius, but Is Not Often
Found in These Decadent
Days.
I d give a dollar," said man
who coddles his stomach, “to find
a cook who doesn't measure. She
would gladden my soul. The cook
vho does things by guess Is a rare
fc-'.'d nowadays. She has genius, else
she could not dispense with the cast
iron rules that regulate modern cook
ery, and geniuses are seldom indigen
ous to the flathouse kitchen.
“But there used to be plenty of
them. Why, I remember the time
Vi hen half the kitchens in the land
gloried In a guesswork cook. It
did a fellow’s eyes and his entire
internal organization good to watch
, har. She would take a pinch of this,
a handful of that, and a dash of some
thing else, and mix them all togeth
er, and the result would be the most
delectable tidbit that a fellow ever
put in his mouth.
“Lord, Lord, but eating was a
pleasure In those days. It isn’t so
now. In these whirligig times every
thing has a machine-made taste.
That’s because the cooks measure so
much. Instead of trusting to In
spiration, as the heaven-born cook
Is bound to do, the kitchen queens of
today measure even the salt they put
i In the porridge. No wonder such
' cookery lacks individuality, and is all
! on the sgme dead level of mediocrity.
| Merciful heaven, what alls these bis
l cuit? They’re as heavy as lead."
“Possibly the cook made a mis
take," said the man’s wife. “I got a
new cook yesterday—one that cooks
by guess. I am afraid she didn’t
put enough baking powder In *he bis
cuits."
ADVISED TAKING OF CANADA
Benjamin Franklin’s Counsel to Brit
ish Government Resulted In Cap
ture of the Dominion.
Benjamin Franklin, the first Ameri
can philosopher and the first Ameri
can diplomat, was not, as Mark Twain
averred, “twins, born simultaneously
at Boston and Philadelphia,” but as
the change in the calendar from
old style to new came after his birth
at Boston on January 6, 1706, accord
ing to the reformed almanac he was
bom on January 17. In 1759 Franklin
was in England as agent for the
colony of Pennsylvania. Previous to
this, though little known, it was main
ly by the advioe of Franklin that the
English government resolved to con
quer Canada, and for that purpose
sent out Wolfe’s expedition. It was
In 1759 that Franklin made a Journey
from London to Scotland, of which
in a letter written to a Scotch friend,
he used these words which have ever
endeared him to the Scot: “I think
the time w© spent there was six
weeks of the densest happiness I have
ever met with in any part of my
life, and the agreeable and instructive
society we found there In such plenty
has left so pleasing an Impression on
my memory that, did not strong con
nections draw me eleswhere, I believe
Scotland would be the country I
should choose to spend the remainder
of my days in.”
Within the Nursery Doors.
The best covering for a children's
playroom la cocoa matting, which can
easily be taken up and shaken twice
a week.
Barley and lime water given to a
baby strengthens It and helps to
make bone. It also renders the milk
readily digestible.
It Is an excellent plan to put a piece
of white oilcloth under a child’s plate.
It be wiped after every meal and
saves the tablecloth.
Hair pillows are nice for baby's
cribs or carriages. They can be
washed In the hottest of water and
Mu* hv •rHAHil means and no dam
age is done them.
To make baby’s hair curl brush It
upward and twist It round the flngen
(after damping the hair). Brushing
downward makes the hair grow
straight and smooth.
Gospel of Courage.
Ralph Waldo Trine stated his belief
thus In Harper’s Bazar:
“To get up each morning deter
mined to be happy, determined to be
master of the events of the day In
stead of being mastered by them; to
tyko anew this attitude of mind when
the doleful thought presents itself or
the bogy-man attempts to show his
face; to look always on the bright
of tMngw, determined to stand al
ways In the sunshine rather than In
the shadow—this It Is that makes
Ufa with Its dally round and Its
knotty problems continually easles.
This hopeful, optimistic, oourage-al
waye-up attitude of mind and heart
Is to set Into operation subtle, silent
forces that are continually working
along the lines we are going and that
opens the way for us to arrive.’*
Strange UoMon Figure.
▲ few years ago there used to stand
on the pavement of Oxford street In
‘ all weathers a venerable white-haired
! gentleman, dressed respectably In
high hat and frock coat, who accosted
each member of the throng of sun
j worshipers, moving eastward in the
morning, westward in the evenings,
1 uttering in a quick tone of deep con
cern the single phrase, “The time is
short! The time is short!” No one
stopped to listen to the old revivalist,
or cared to hear the further words of
warning which he would have given,
for all knew that he prated of things
that did not really matter to the sert

the Israelites, Greeks, Romans and
