BIDDY OTLASNIflAX AS A COOK.
In a chapter entitled "Biddy O'Flaunisan as
Cook," Dr. Dlo Lewis touches upon a subject
of the greatest Importance to every one of w,
man, wotnan, and child. It U that of entrust
ing the preparation of our food, wblck is to
form the brain, bouos, and muscles for ourselves
and our children, to au Ignorant Irl.h woraau
Who, perhaps, u month an; was living in a
mud Lilt on a diet of potatoes, whilst at tlio
lame lime we are so particular to employ the
best tailor for ourselves, the best milliner and
imntua maker for our wives, and the best care
for our horses. But let the doctor speak
for himself: Deacon V , residing
elx miles out of Boston, quarrelled
and parted with bis cook and coachman on the
fifth of July. They returned from Boston late
on the evening of the fourth, a little too patri
otic for practical purposes, and the result was
tb.it on the morning of the fifth they were
sent ( ff. .
M. W , being an invalid, xvm in great
distress, ns she expected company, whilo the
deacon was very, very sorry about his hordes.
But he hurried in after breakfast, put an adver
tisement in three papers, with directions to call
at his office in Kilby street. The next morning
they began to come. The deacon understands
the necessity of a good hoitler, and asked cer
tain qu !.-iions of every man who applied for the
p isit on oi coachman:
"How often do you think horses should be
lei? What do you think is the best food?
S ou'd it be given whole or ground? When
Bhou'd h iy be given ? Should It ba fed from a
rao'c or from a trough? When should"' the
horaia b3 watered ? Should they bo allowed to
drink all they .want," etc., etc. ? The deacon had
do'ciniincd that he would not be humbugged,
lie knew that if his horses were to flourish, the
mm having chatge of them mist be intelligent
and understand the business of feeding, driving,
and taking care of them. The deacon asked
inwy questions about the use of the curry
comb, brush, blanket, etc., etc. Nearly thirty
men called before he found one that Suited Mm.
After receiving satisfactory answers to his many
questions, and examining the mau's "charac
ter," he concluded, with some rutsgivlngs, to
engage him. The wages wore thirty-five dollars
per mojth. He cared little what price he paid,
bo he got a man who could fill tiie bill.
The deacon engaged tha eeeoad girl that ap
plied for i he position of cook. The first one was
evldint'y intemperate. The second one was
quite vouug, but clean and healthy. He asked
her if she could do plain cookiug? She replied,
"Bcdad, and It's meself that can do that same !"
The deacon wished to sec her "character,"
which, although written by an unknown party,
stiUd thit she was honest, a good plaiu cook,
with but little experience. The deacon said that
would'do it was simply a cook they wanted.
Bo after agreeing upon three dollars a week, he
gave her a car ticket and a card with the direc
tions, and forwarded her to madame, that the
mai hi aery of the country home might bo set in
motion. The deacon has four children depen
dent, with himself and his wife, upon the cook
for health of brain and mind. This Ignorant
Irish girl, without experience, was given unre
strained, unlooked-after charge of the prepara
tion of all the food for the family. The health,
the happiness of the group, were made to hinge
upon Biddy's skill in cooking.
Wuen the Deacon returned in the evening he
went directly to the barn, and for a half a
month looked after his horses more or less every
day, lest Thomas' skill should not fully meet
the necessities of the case.
But no one seemed to doubt that Biddy would
bo able to prepare the fool all right for the
family.
There is no doubt that the best cooking re
quires rare ekill. One woman takes from a cer
tain barrel, flour; from a certain other barrel,
potatoes; and from a table, a piece of beef.
Another woman takes the same things. Each
proceeds to prepare a dinner for ten persous.
In one case the food is delicious, easily digested,
and gives health and strength; in the other, the
food is not palatable, it is very difficult to di
gest, and, instead of giving health and strength,
produces an attack of dyspepsia. Among cooks
one in ten may be ranked as good; the othor
nine are bad or indifferent.
If wo had schools for instruction in cookery,
and all the aspirants to the profession were
obliged to earn diplomas, nine in ten of the
cooks would be good ones. The Irish brain is
not particularly susceptible to the patience re
quired in the bet cooking. Bat while a man
insists upon the best tailor in town, upon the
best uphoUterer, the best dressmaker, the finest
church, school, actor, and artist, and would
laugh at the idea of a green Irishman in any of
them, he goes to an intelligence office, picks up
a fresh caught Irish girl, and hires her to per
form services more important than all of these
put together I mean more Important to the
happiness of himself and his loved ones.
For the present the most feasible means is to
do what several towas are already doing, viz.:
Join in a co-operative kltehen, in which, by the
best Ekill, food may be cooked for the whole
town, and in thoBe little tin boxes now so much
used for transporting soups aud hot meats,
everything may be delivered at the farthest
house in town as hot as in a room next to the
kitchen. This, if we make up our minds to it, it
altogether the cheapest, most satisfactory, and
healthful.
I should not so much object to employing
Bridget to make a dress for my wife, to teach
the piano, or to do any other similar service, it
we were hard pushed, but I protest that igno-
ance and stupidity shall not rule in the kitchen.
he physical, intellectual, and moral life of the
ousehold rests upon the kitchen, almost to the
same extent that a building rests upon its foun
dation. In the kitchen, if nowhere else, we must
ave judgment and skill.
Two things must be done if w continue to
ire in this Isolate wy, each family running a
kitchen for lUalf : wa mtut establish schools for
training cooks, and we mut make np oar miuds
o pay eight or ten dollars a week for the cer
vices of a good cook.
There is no such waste in any other depart-
nent of our life. Wo provide the very best
lour, meats, poultry, flub, vegetables, fruits,
auces, and condiments which the capital,
clence, and ekill f the world can produce. Ia
taking these purchases we pour out onr money

TIIE SPANISH THRONE.
The Elf rtlon of Amnrirn n lilnff-Drtnll mf
Ibe t'rorerriloan.
A Madrid correspondent of the London Timet,
writing on November 17, gives rail particulars of
the election of the Pake of Aosta to Ihe throne of
Spain by the Cortes. In the debate which preceded
the final vote various parliamentary tricks were re
sorted to by the Republican deputies to ward oil the
ec ntest. The correspondent say s :
Vlnsder, scml-herolcally, tendered the Pope's bull
of excommunication ig,itnst Victor Kmanuel, ami
demanded Its leading. The House laughed him
clown, and the 'resident quietly remarked lie could
not permit the reading of any document not re
lating to the election of the King of pmn. After
more petitions tendered by the republicans, one of
their number, Senor Moreno Rodriguez, called
lor the reading of the list of the 194 deputies
who, In the session of the limit of November, 1S54,
voted for the re-establishmi nt of the dynasty of the
cx-tjueen. The list was read. General t'rtm's name
was In It, and those of many others of "the U.;ne
ra's" who undid their work In 1-jij-i. Senor Arlta
zn.u demanded the reading of the list, of the valiant
nineteen wto voted against the dynasty on that
memorable occasion. It was read. It" contained the
nsmesof Don Nicolas Maria Rivero aud of six of
the present Republican leaders. Instantly some of
ql.e MirvivoiB of t he 1H4 wished to explain their vote,
but the President would not let ilieni.
Senor Caston next demanded the reading of the
nnlcle In the constitution of 19 which says, "The
foreigner who Is not naturalized cannot exercise any
charge In Spain which has authority or Juris lic
tton.'' (Art. 27.) Great uprour followed litis de
mand, but the President granted It. The cltuse In
question was saluted with loud laughter, but the
President refused to allow Nenor Uaston to com
ment on It. Senor Garcia Lopez s:tid his friend
Senor Rodriguez had just told him Bomeof tun depu
ties had been threatened with death. Senor Rodri
guez confessed It was all a joke, whereupon fresh
laughter broke out. President ZorrilU ttirti called
for the order of the day, bat he was Interrupted bv
Senor Qulntero saying there was a fictitious petition
on the table, prctendiuir to bo from the Corporation
of Seville, In favor of the Duke of Aosta. He hud
documents to prove It false. This was the way peti
tions were got up and how the zca' of the civil
governors was humbugging the government. Some
disorder followed this remark. The President told
him he could see the petition in the Secretary's oillce.
Senor Cabello next dryly asked whether the new
king would swear to the constitution In Italian or in
Spanish. Loud laughter again, turned lntj uproar
by Ids begging the Cortes to suspend the election for
sufllcent time for Prlnco Amadeus to learn Spanish.
If It be true that he did not know it ? The President
replied that "the King would take the proper oaths
in that place, and bo received and respected by the
country in spite of Senor Uaston aud u It who think
like him." He then stated that two of the Oarlist
Deputies, Senor Muzquiz and Senor Vluader, had
lodged motions for discussion, but as the sissi n
was a special one he had refused to allow them to
be read. This was the signal for a terrible "scene.'
The confusion was perfectly indescribable. Flgue
ras, Castelar, l'aul y Augtilo, Vluader, Muzqulz,
and hair a dozen other deputies all on their feet,
protesting, shouting, demanding tn speak, aud
using the most frightful gesticulations', while from
t he whole of the ministerial benches came the cry
of "A volar! a vntar'.'l ("Vote! vote!") In his
efforts to restore oroer the President broke another
bell. When something like quiet was procured ihe
President begged the deputies to calm their Impa
tience, and exclaimed, ":'(! ci elalbur dr In Mtmar
qviayla detalimo dc la Jlcpublira!'' ("This Is the
dawn of the monarchy and the defeat of the repub
lic !") Zorrilia is in the habit of comiug out with ex
prestdons which afterwatds become historic.
"When President Zorrilla had unished his remarks
about the albor of the monarchy and the demhiujo of
the republic, the republicans sprang to their feet,
anu many or inem snowed signs or their intention
to abandon the Honee. Paul y Angnlo and others
went from seat to seat persuading their companions
to come out. The scene was terrlblp. Thanks to
the remonstrances of Don Manuel Siivela, the ex
Mlulster of State, aud Morct, the
present Minister of the Colonies, who
rushed over from their places and talked
earnestly to the excited Uepubltcaos, and especially
to Castelar aud Figueras, on whom all eyes were
fixed, they changed their minds aud stayed. On one
or two other occasions, when the entire Kepubllcan
minority have retired in a pet, they have simply
made themselves ridiculous to the Cortes aud the
country ; but on this, one had they gone out and an
nounced the cause of their exasperation to the ex
cited multitude outside, there Is no doubt there
wouM have been bloody work. Mobs never reason.
It would have been snrilclcnt. for them to see sixty
or seventy Deputies apparently "turned out" to have
led them to insurrection.
THE VOTK AT LAST.
When the Republicans had resumed their places
the question was put to the House, and decided by
17S to 2, to proceed at once to vote on the question
of the monarch, a he ltepubllcaus refrained Irom
voting. Senor Muzqulz made a fresh attempt to
speak, but the President refused and uttered the
momentous words for Spain, "Let us proceed to
tte the King." Solemn stillness reigned as the
Secretary callel each Deputy In rotation to vote.
Slowly and deliberately the Deputies rose one by
one, and, marching to the table deposited a closed
paper in the hands of the President, who Immediately
put It into the urn. Not a word was spoken until it
came to General Izquierdo's turn, liefore going up
to the table he exclaimed: "lTp to this moment 1
have defended the nomination of the Duke of Mont
pensier, but now I vote Aosta." lie wished to give
his reasons, but the President refused to let him.
When all had voted, the urn was unlocked, and the
papers taken out and counted. There were fouud
to be Ml, exactly the number of Deputies present.
The papers were then opened and read. As each
Deputy was obliged to sign his paper, great interest
was felt during the reading of them. At last the
Secretary said: "The following la the result of the
votation:"
Duke of Aosta loi llepubllca Federal.... 60
Duke of Montpensler.. 27 Kepubliea Espanol.... 2
Duch'sof Montpensier. 1' Kepubliea 1
Kspartero 8 Votes In blank 10
Alfonso S1
Total 811
The Secretary next said, "The number or Depu
ties admitted is 844. The half, plus 1, Is 173. The
Duke of Aosta having obtained 191, he Is beyond
the majority required by law." President Zorrilla
added, "The Duke do Aosta Is therefore elected
King of Spain!" Mo demonstration followed the
announcement. It is said that tleneral Prim had
urged his friends to give no viriu or applause, lest It
should wound the fellDgs of the Itepublieans. Let
us hope this Is true, for, if not, it certainly looked as
if the House looked with cold lndiil'erence on the
result. The artillery In the Campos Kllseos tired a
i-alYo to announce the couclusion of the votation to
the city.
