DO MEN EXCEL INJ.ITCHEN? Some Reasons are Given by the Chef of the Carlton Hotel, London, to Prove that Cooks of the Masculine Gender Know their Business Better than their Sisters. Cooking -is undoubtedly a fine art, and an accomplished chef is as much of an artist in his particular branch of work as a painter or a sculptor. There is as much difference be tween good cooking and bad as be tween a symphony performed by a great master on a first-class instru ment and a so-called melody played by some out of tune barrel organ. There is absolutely no question as to who makes the better cook-a man or a Woman. If man did not excel, why should all the chief 'hotels and restaurants of both British and 'Con tinental cities place a man at tihe head of their culinary dep-artemnts? Women hold equally good positions in most vocations as -men now, but a 'female chef, a woman "boss," as you English say, idoes not reign in any large kitchen, says Mons A Escoffer, - chef of the Carhon Hotel, London, in Pearson's Weekly. In the ordinary domestic duties .it is very hard to find a man equalling, much less. excelling a woman-it is her s>here in life, but cooking rises far above a mere domestic duty; it is as I jhave said before, a fine art. The reason, -that in cooking the palm has always been awarded to a "mere man" is not far to seek. It is nor because man is more epicu Tean than woman; for this, thoug1h maintained by woman, is not a fact. Woman is quite as fastidious over her food as the ordinary man and bestows as -much thought over her meals as he does.. It is simply that man is more thor ough in his work, and thoroughness is at The root of alI good cooking, as oi everything else. A .man is more particular over the various little -details which -are neces sary to make up a really perfect dish. Take for examiple an Indian curry, containing so many iHttile trifling in gredients-all of which are equally important to make a perfect dish whTen finished. The loss of one would mean the spociling of the others, and the complete ruin of the flavor of the curry. Nothing Too Unimportant.; A man knows this, and will shave them all. Nothing is too unimport anj for this consideration. A woman, _-on -the other hand, will manage with what s'he 'has got handy. This is very nice and~ obliging of 'her, no doubt, 'but it eventally spoils her cooking, and the 'dish is not a success. One of tlhe chief faults in a woman's cooking is her 'want of accuracy over the smaller -items-th.e exact amolunt of flavoring, t'he right condiments to each dish, and 'that is one of the chief reasons why. her cooking pales before that orf a man .and makes ihis dishes preferable on all occasions to hers. Even in 'the case of amateurs, a man's cooking is more successful than a woman's for these reasons, and also There ni GUN 75c. Seventy because he takes more pride in hi. work of preparing -a tempting repast A great many people think that an one can cook who happens to possesS a shilling cookery book and a few pots and pans. What a fallacy. A greai dhef is born like any other great ar tist-of.course, 'he must learn his arl as they do theirs, but he has the natu ral gift for his work, even before he starts it. To a chef -his work is a "joy for ever." And he invents new dishes with as much pride and more as 2 modiste or a milliner creates some new gown -or hat, and 'he carefully s:udies the trifling details of each sep arate flavor before he sends his ne-w masterpiece of .culinary art before his patrons. Woman Forgets. Women rarely care to take much trouble over cooking, especially wher they are not acting as professiona, cooks. The housewife in England wfio does ber own cooking considers it a waste of time to spend much ol the day -in her kitchen arranging fot the family's meals. Other things -are far more attract ive in themselves, claim her atten ti-on, and she appears ito forget thai upon her care in preparing and cook ing tihe food depends the digestion ol thusband and children, and that upon their digestion hangs much of theii health and happiness. In France this is not so. There th-e motther of a fairly well-to-do family does not consider it a trouble -to ar range all ithe meals herself, and is in consequence a far better cook itha her English sister of the -same class. When women have learned that nc trifle is -oo small for their -considera tion -in the matter of cooking, then we may find -them -at the head of -the kitchens of the chief clubs and ihotels, but ufitil then there will -certainly be -at leasr one place where man car reign supreme. The New Idea Woman's Magazine. Why Birds Go South. "I once asked -a confirmed told bach elor," -says 'Mr. Craig S. Thiomas in the New Idea Woman's Magazine for -November, "why he did not mar ry, ,to which he replied, 'I h-ave got ten over wanting to.' Is there a'id in the affairs of birds for a certait perod i-n the autumn whic'h draws them southtwar-d? And if the fa-ll be pleasant, as was .that of 1904, and they rem-ain lionger than usual, does this tide of inclination pass away and leave them stranded wth us for the winter Or, -when -they dhave stayed during a long, pleasant autumn., do -they reason 1-ike the old man wibo said that il would not 'pay for hi into get false teth -now, th-at his -time was too shorti "It is usually thought that the de termining facior in the birds' going or stayng is not that of cold, but o: food; and for ti-s .there is -doubtless considerable eviden-ce, it would neet to be shown that the food is lacking when they go forth and leave us, as well as present when 'They sta3 thioughout -the.- year. "In the autmun of 1904, in th< groves which skirt the rivers ir South Dakota, wild grapes were un U aver wa awberry as cheap a~ ware Co's. -Five Centsi. rberri usually abundant. The autumn was sc long and dry that they cured upon th( 'Vines, and were sweet, .somewha juicy, and very palatable during the emire winter. In these groves ] found companies of Wilson's blue birds in early January, when the mer :ury stood between eight and ten de grees below zero. The flickers als'c were numerous, though it is not un common for a few of them to wintei in the North." In opposition -to this facE, Mr Thoms notes that although every win ter a goodly supply of berries, see-ds buds, etc.. remains on the bushes, yei :hc robins, xlho ea.t these, constant' migrate. Mr. Thoms comes to th( conclusion, Therefore, that "there is z migrating instinct which has its sea son, just as there -is a mating instinc' whicfhifhas its season; and if, owing tc pleasant conditions, that season passes wthout the birds being moved to gc sou,th, they do not go at all." Joseph Ramsey, Jr., the depose president of the Wabash R. R., has applied for an injunction restraining the Goulds from taking control of tht property. "But," asked -Miss 'Mattie. Nay, "did you never rwave stage frigh-t?" "Only once," replied the actor, ".and that was before an audience of only five or six people." "My! Where ws -that?" "Outr West. You see, the audienct informed us ithat if our show didn'l suit them they'd fill us full iof holes.' Last Hope Vanished. When leading physicians said thai W. M. Smithart, of Pekin, Ia., had in curable consumption. his last hope va nished; but Dr. King's New Discover for Consumption, Coughs and Colds, ket him out of his grave.

He says: "Two years ago I had Kidney Trouble, which caused rre great pain, suffering and anxiety, but I took Electric Bitters, which effected a complete cure.
