Whether it is wise to make instruo tion in cooking an important part of the function of the public school is an open question, although the result of experi- ment in this direction seems to show that it does not interfere with the proper work of the school and is full of benefit to certain classes of pupils. In defense of the instruction of girls and Women who are to live a. domestic life in the art of cooking there is every- thing to be said. “It‘s the soup that makes the soldier,” is an old French military proverb, and that the fate of nations depends on the dinner and the digestion of a Minister was Voltaire’s observation. As men grow older and wiser they love their victuals more. In the height of his vigor “Christopher North” de- clared that there was no pleasure of body or soul to be prefe1 red to eating. Great men have always disdained fast days. How important then must be not only the matter of food selection, but also of preparationl Nothing will do more to break down health than bad cooking. As one of the purposes of the public school is the making of future good cit- izens, it may be urged with some force that as instruction in cooking is calcu- lated to save the future citizens from the consequences of a pernicious diet, it is quite as important as instruction in arithmetic, and certainly more impor- tant than instruction in music. new How a Social Climber Used the Presi- dent’s Declination. As an example of the use to which even the declination of an invitation may'be put, a single instance may be cited. From a social climber of the most self- obtrusive and offensive type, who had been eagerly bent for years on Oh- taining some personal recognition from the President’s family, came one day a card for the wedding reception of his daughter. The stereotyped response was sent by one of the clerks, expressing the regret of the President and his wife that they would be unable to attend. The morning papers on the day following the afi'air contained a. full account of all that took place. ending with a list 'of distinguished guests; and the record- ed procession of generals and commo- dorcs and judges wound up. with the announcement that “President and Mrs. Cleveland were to have honored the oc- casion with their presence, but at the last moment were unavoidably prevent- ed and obliged to send their regrets.” Figs and Thistles. A temptation resisted is a lion slain. No man ever broke his back by trying; to lift the load God gave him. Men who try to serve God for gain 5 are willing to serve the de vil for noth ing. The world was plunged into sin be cause the first pair looked at the forbid- den fruit; not because they climbed the tree. ;THE EVENlNG-GAZETTE p HUSBAND AND WIFE PASTORS. Mr. and Mrs. Sprague'lnstalled injBoston'e 0 New Church. In the New South Church of Boston, recently, the Rev. Leslie W. Sprague was installed as pastor, and at the. same time and by the same services his wife, the Rev. Lita Frost Sprague, was in. stalled as assistant pastor. It is so un- the pastorage of aNew-England church particularly in Boston, that an elabor- ate service Swas arranged; ‘the church was beautifully decorated with flowers and palms, and the venerable Dr.'Ed‘- ward Everett Hale delivered a sermon. Mr. and Mrs.-Sprague have been in the ministry together .for the past seven years. They were graduated together from the Theological Seminary at Meadville, Pa., and in 1889 they were married. The following year they were ordained in All Saints’ .Church' in Chi- cago, and soon afterward were called to a church in Munroe, Wis. lFrom they succeeded in building a church in the roughest part of the town. Their success in Pomona was such that they were called to the pastorate of the Second Unitarian Church in San Fran- cisco. That was two years ago. They came to Boston to the New South Church in January of this year. Good-by, Bloomer. “Bloomers neither improve the ap- pearance of a poor figure nor" show of the beauties of a good figure. What chance could the costume have under these circumstances with womankind‘l” A manager of a famous Fifth avenue ladies’ tailoring establishment thus tersely summed up the reasons for the utter failure of bloomers to come into general use by wheelwomen. Dress reformers have made a desper- ate fight in behalf of the bifurcated garment, but the evidence of their de- the indications are that the garment will, within another year, have passed completely away. The advanced wo- man, the extremist for rational dress, may occasionally scorch along the road, as an unpleasant reminder of what might have been, just as the man on the old style high wheel occasionally ap- pears on the cycle path like a ridiculous apparition out of the past. Man’s Years Longthencd. Some peOplesay that the medical pro- fession has lengthened the average of human life. Others claim that new conditions have brought on new dis- eases. It is hard to get at statistics for or against these opinions, and if one could find figures to support either posi- tion the average reader would probably call to mind the saying that “there are three kinds of lies in this world—plain lies, damn lies, and statistics.” One thing is certain, however. Men live longer today than they did in the days of the Revolutionary War. Prom- inent men at that time were considered old at fifty years. ' To—day when a man reaches the half century goal he is in NOTICE. cumxra NOTICE is hereby given to all per- sons liable to pay taxes to the City of Norwalk, in the County of Fairfield and State of Connecticut, that the undersigned, Collector of Taxes for raid City, on 1'15 sessment list of 1895, has received a war. ant from the Mayor for the collection of the tax laid by said City, March 2, 1896, on the ratable es- tate liable to taxation therein; that Said Tax is Payable July Isl, And that he will be present at the Council Room in the Fairfield County National Bank Bullding, every week day from 0 11.111. to 12 m., and from 2 to 5 p. m. from July I, 1896 until Sep- tember l, 1896 Saturday evenings from 7 to 9 o’clock.
