The most significant of recent move
ments In behalf of good housekeeping
In ond around New York city may be
traced to a big gas company, wrlti'8
Katharine Swan In Good Housekeep
ing. This concern has bU women,
known as Inspectors and teachers, who
come In contact with 750 to MOD kitch
ens weekly, running the gamut from
Fifth avenue's aristocratic establish
ments to the sub-cellar of some "kosh
er" east side restaurant or top floor
tenement in Little Italy. Owing to a
widely extended system of rental In
vogue gas ranges In New York are In
use in most unexpected kitchens. The
teachers not only understand every
plan by which all the many ranges In
use may be made to do the work de
manded, whether the supply of gas la
big or little, but are expected to know
why a range doesn't work, If It Is out
of order, and In many cases to them
selves adjust and regulate it so that it
is In condition to work before leaving.
All this encourages women to do their
own baking Instead of resorting to
bakeshop pastry and bread, which are
til too handy In New York City.
One of these Inspector teachers, who
la also a lecturer and teacher of cook
ery, says: "When I am able to per
suade a woman that she can really
bake, and on a return visit find she lias
already taken advantage of the in
struction and become attached to the
gas ovens, I feel that I have contribut
ed to the good housekeeping of the
city and the good health of the family.
If. as for Instance did happen. I meet a
young woman married five years, Just
starting housekeeping, and utterly Ig
norant of even how to make toast or
roast beef for an English husband,
whose two chief demands were those
very things, I feel as if the work was
more than valuable to the peace of
that household, when I have given
her such instruction In the use of her
gas range as will help her to do not
only that but many ot'.ier things. In
other cases housekeeprs of experience
had been feeding their families for
months on frlond meats entirely be
cause they did not know how to broil.
Kescuo a few families from such a
fate as that, and one really sees what
tl.ls work means, not only to gas com
panies but to the housekeepers them
selves." Owing to the large foreign born pop
ulation to whom gaa ranges are dense
mysteries, and to other peculiarities of
the New York kitchen workers, the in
spector teachers are securing effcts
that could be reached in no other way.
The work in New York has been so
successful that before long a trained
peripatetic gas range cooking teuc'.ier
and inspector will be a necessity to
every live gas company, and a new
line of work will be open to domestic
science teachers.

It requires some moral courage on
the part of a hostess to decorate her
dinner table with artificial flowerd
nowadays, when natural flowers are
used In such profusion. All t.ie same
the result Justified the daring of the
lady. Her scheme was carried out
with yards upon yards of narrow Pom
padour ribbon, which made a lattice
work border around the centre of pala
blue Irish linen handsomely Inseried
with hand-drawn Greek lnte. The rib
buns and clusters of the little Mnl
pompom roses, with their foliage and
buds, made an altogether charming en
semble, and tiie pierced silver nnd
glass vases were festooned with the
ribbon and filled with the flowers.
These were so natural that many
guests were under the Impression that
by some freak of nntnra the llttlo
roses were already In bloom. The clia:
acter of the decoration was more ac
centuated by ornaments of Dresden

THE BOERS IN BATTLE.
Tltny Attach A1innt aiipraine Impor
tance to Scouting.
A branch of warfare to which the
Boers attach almost supreme Impor
tance, and rightly so. Is scouting. At
this their roving habits and mode of
life make them particularly adept,
nlthoiigh during the present war soma
(.1 the most valuable work In this di
rection has been performed by Flt
lnnders. Two corps of scouts, one
composed of Frenchmen under Cap
tain Le Galllen, and the other of Ital
ians under the command of Captain
nicchldai'l, both recruited In Johannes
burg during the earlier months of the
war, rendered services of almost In
calculable value to the Boer cause. Of
an essentially cautions nature, the
Boers never think of moving in any
new direction until the country has
been thoroughly reconnoitred by scout
ing parties, and the rnemy has been lo
cated, and it is to this fact that their
marvelous mobility is largely due.
Having ascertained the position of
their opponents and calculated tho
numbers likely to be engaged at any
given point, the scouts report to the
general of the forces to which they are
attached; and tho burghers are then
shifted from one position to another.
ao as to be ready for all emergencies.
Thus It is that during the present cam
paign the Boers have almost Invaria
bly been Just where they could do the
most effective work, and In about the
right numbers to do it.
Another method of guarding against
surprise is that of "crow nests."
Choosing as elevated a position as pos
sible In the neighborhood of their
trenches or laager, the Boers erect a
cover of loose bushes, made to appear
so natural that from quite a short dis
tance it Is easily mistaken for the
growing, shrubby bush with which the
country is to a great extent covered.
Planted on the top of a kopje, the
Poers with their telescopes and field
glasses, are able to keep a lookout
over miles of the surrounding country
whilst themselves perfectly hidden.
Having decided upon the positions
they Intend to occupy and defend, the
burghera proceed to dig trenches or
erect low stone walls, or "schanzes," as
they are called, of loose stones plied up
some three feet high; or. If the ground
is suitable, they do both. It anything
the latter afford the more effective
protection of the two; Blnc.e not only
do these schanzes give almost perfect
shelter from rlfie-flre, but through the
interstices between the stones the men
are able to watch for the approaching
enemy. On tho smallest mark being
presented, they either use the Inter
stices as loop-holes, or else they pop
up, aim, fire, and are down again In an
almost incredibly short space of time.
In this manner they ran pick off the
advancing soldiers while remaining In
almost perfect security themselves.
This method of fighting explains to a
great extent the extraordinary dispro
portion in the casualties of Boers and
British respectively In most of the
important engagements fought during
the present war. These schanzes are
frequently several miles in length, and
are sometimes built in dupllcateoreven
triplicate; thus enabling the Boers, on
being driven back from the first, to re
tire and continue to fight, behind the
second nnd the third. Tho admirable
construction of their trenches has been
testified to on more than one occasion
by the British generals, notably by Sir
Hedvers Buller in his despatches on
the operations in Natal. Edward B.
Hose in the Forum.
BUILT BY A PIRATE.
Havana' Moat Famoaa Theatre Waa
Fonndefl on Blood Monay.
The Tacon theatre, in Havana, one
of the largest and most famous in the
western hemisphere, was built by an
old reprobate, Marti, who was a no
torious pirate In his day, and obtained
Immunity for himself by betraying his
comrades Into the hands of the Span
ish authorities, says the Army and
Navy Journal. One dark and rainy
night Marti slipped by the sentry
guarding the palace in Havana and en
tered the apartments of the captain
general, who was writing at a tabic.
When the captain-general raised his
eyes and saw the cloaked figure before
him, lie reached foi' the bell. "Stop,
your excellency," cried the stranger. "1
am here on a desperate enterprise. I
have come to deliver Into your hands
every pirate on the Cuban coast upon
one condition, a pardon for myself."
"You shall have It," as the answer,
"but who are you?" "I urn Marti, and
I rely upon the promise you have giv
en me."
Preparatory to this interview Marti
had appointed a rendezvous for the
different bands, to which be conducted
the Spanish force, nnd every pirate
was captured and righteously garroted.
As 'for Marti, he was not only par
doned, but was given a monopoly of
the sate of fish in Havana, which made
him a rich, and thus an eminently re
spected citizen, who ended his days in
the odor of sanctity. It will be remera.

the Welshman, Henry Morgan, showed
such remarkable military talent that
he waa knighted by Charles II., and
made governor of Jamaica, which a
bad previously captured.

Next to Japan, there is no country in
Asia making more strenuous efforts to
Increase its railroad system than Sjam.
The king has ordered several private
cars for the use of the royal family,
and the rolling stock of the Siamese
state railways is constantly being in
creased. Most of the railway material
comes from Germany, aa the director
general, aa well as most of the engi
neers of the Siamese railways, are
Germans. The electric roads in Slam,
however, are controlled by Americaua,
as is also the electric lighting system
