COOK; FAMOUS FOR
47YEARS-DIES

Passes Away.
DISLIKED

DI8HES
He Specialized In English Beef and
Mutton, Winning International
Reputation.
London. Thomas Davoy, tho man
who had cooked tho roast beof of old
England for over forty-sovon years at
SlmpBon-ln-thc-Strand, London, has
passed away. His death caused gen
uine sorrow In the old London eating'
taouao whoro he had boon so long a
conspicuous figure and will have been
received wl-th rogrot by a large num
ber ot peoplo in tho states who made
a' -point of dining at Simpson's and
swing Davoy when In London.
Davoy was a man who became fa
mous in his own lino through doing
ono thing and doing it well. He spc
tialixed from Ills youth In cooking tra
ditional CngllBh fare the sirloin of
English beef and the snddlo of South
down mutton and at tho time of his
death wan recognized as tho leading
exponent of purely English cookery.
"English cookery, mark you," as
Davoy would havo said, "none of your
new-fangled French fal-do-lals." It waB
aa muoh his boast that ho knew noth
ing ot French cookory as it was his
justifiable claim that ho knew all there
was to bo known about English. Q
And his contompt for French cook
ory extonded to modern methods ot
roasting and boiling. Ho used to say
that he had never cooked a sirloin by
any other moans than tho open roast
ing flro, and as he stood by that in
Simpson's kitchens talking to a visitor
ho would give an affectionate glance
at the sizzling joints in front of it
and trenchantly add, "And you may
tako it from me, sir, Davoy never will."
Simpson's - in tho - Strand, whoro
Davoy served so long, dates Its repu
tation for providing traditional Eng
lish faro cooked by traditional Eng
lish mothoda lrom tho Seventeenth
Century, and tho memories of many
oelebrlties cling round It from then
onward. But probably the place never
had a cook with a greater fund ol
anoedoto than he.
For ho was at Simpson's in tho daya
of tho " bohemlanB of mid-Victorian
times, and the old house was ono ol
thoir groat haunts.
Ho knew Dickens, Thackeray, Toole,
Irving, ""Vleorge Augustus Sala, and
many another, and had stories to tell
of them all.'" Ono of his recollections
la that ho cooked dinner for William
Torrls on tho night when that fine ac
tor was murdered iby Prince at the
Adolphl a few years back.
Ho was acquainted, too, with most
of tho leading London actors, dramat
ists, writers, and legal lights who fore
gather at Simpson's to-day many of
them round the historic tablo used by
the Knights' olub, a pieco of furniture
which is famous because it was too
large to get back again through door
or window when tho house was recon
structed, and, therefore, had a now
room built round it, a room which
forms part of tho building of to-day.
CHOCOLATE PUFFS Put two ta-
blespoonfuls of b'utter in a saucepan
with ono cupful of hot water. Bring
to a rapid boll, then quickly throw
In ono cupful of sifted pastry flour,
stirring hard. Tho mixture will al
most instantly thicken to a ball,
drawing away from the sides of tho
saucepan. For a moment or two stir
a little at one side of the flro, then
set aside, closely covered until partly
cooled. Drop In an unbeaten egg and
work and beat until smoothly Incor
porated; add, ono at a time, three
more eggs, working and beating each
until perfectly mixed before adding
the next one. Beat hard for Ave min
utes, then drop by small teaspoonfuls
on groased pans, placing fully three
inches apart. Bako In a very moder
ate oven. Thoy aro done when puf
fed to fully twice thoir first size and
light as a feather when lifted; this
will tako fully forty minutes. Set
asido to cool.
Many a gown this year Is mado
With yolke and undorsleoves of lace

well to sow In tho yolko and sleoves by

when it Is necessary to give them
more an a superficial cleansing. Be
fore taking them out, however, out
"llno with a thread yolk and sleeves
Just whoro they aro sowed Into placo.
This done, It is a very simple matter,
after the laundering 13 completed, to

. A MOTHER'S INQUIRY
A young mothor who has scon the
boBt paronts succeeded by children
whoso wayward, frownrd and wasted
lives reflected no ono of tho good
qualities in cither father or mother,
anxiously Inquires as to modern train
ing and teaching on heredity and en
vlronmont as Ufo-maklng and life
forming characters. Is tho failure of
parents, whoBo lives nro trustworthy
to havo parents that follow thoir own
courses, due to their lack of skill In
training their own children or are chil
dren unaffected in their descent by
tho lives that havo gono before?
No direct and categorical answer
can bo given to this Inquiry. Scienco
Is still uncertain how far tho traits
of parents are transmitted to their
offspring. Forty years ago, when tho
influence of Darwin was all-powerful,
heredity was accepted as tho master
key. From flf teen to thirty years ago,
tho tendency of science, under tho
teaching of Welsmonn, was to mini
mize heredity and to assert that noth
ing which tho porcnt acquired was
transmitted. To-day scientific opinion
moves toward tho acceptance of both
heredity and environment as working
together; but the former less than the
latter.
Among human beings, whero the
family exercises an influenco out of
all proportion, greater than any possl
bio parental care In tho lower crea
tion, environment exercises a great
er influence than mere heredity. If
ono sift the work of tho past ten years,
particularly tho studies, records and
discussion by men like Francis Galton
and Karl Parsons, tho evidence Beems
to indicato that ability and physical
characteristics are transmitted not
merely from tho parents, but from the
larger past. Roughly speaking, In
Prof. Pearson's view, on tho average,
, T.i -.1 ,. i,( 1. -.,.,
and with exceptions, of what is trans-
mltted to children, half comes from
tho Immediate parents, a quarter from
tho grandparents, four In number, and
another quarter from earlier ances
tors. But there Is a difference between
mentality and physique and character.
Character Is not wholly, but in a great
measure, developed after birth. It is
tho work and product of training. The
children of the able, tho gifted, tho
benevolent and tho advantaged who
fall, fail usually In character and not
in native ability. Often they are as
ablo as their parents, but lack in char
acter, and this lack is but too often
duo to the failure of parents engrossed
in business. In benevolence, in good
works, in professional life or in af
fairs evon ono may add, in religion
Itself to give their children tho pa
tient time needed for training.
Every mother may rest certain that
the character her children rests In
the hands of its parents for both fa
ther and mother are needed and that
heredity at this point is secondary,
provided personal care is given and
watch kept for those physical defects
which bo often derange tho temper
and will of children, and which can
all bo remedied if taken early.

The Kind of Woman
Men Admire
Ot courso, viewed from a standpoint
of puso art, "a daughter of tho gods,
divinely tall and most divinely fair,"
has, tho call over hor- abbreviated sis
tor. Tho Gibson girl, tho Fisher girl,
tho Christy girl, all of tho various
girls with whom wo aro familiar on
tho backs or magazines arid' In tho
Sunday Bupplomcnts, would undoubt
edly bo about 7 feet high If they woro
translated Into real Hfo. Also, thoy
all have a lean and hungry look which
goes all right In a picture-, but It la
doubtful If any man would caro for It
In a lady lovo.
In this connection it is Interesting
to remark that, in a previous age,
when thero was more marrying going
on than there Is now, and a lot moro
lovo making doing, tho popular Ideal
of feminine pulchritude was not tho
telephone post woman of today, but
tho small cuddlceomo woman that was
just a good armful.
Tho Immortal Shakospoaro set tho
proper holght of woman as IJust aa
high as a man's heart. Dickens mad a
his Bella Wllfer, his Ruth Pinch, his
Dora, hla Dot, all of hla most ador
able women, not only short, but
plump. All of Scott's heart smashora
wore little women. Tho big woman
did great, heroic stunts, but it waa
tho little woman that men .loved.
Thackeray's favorite heroines, even to
Becky Sharp, were all small.
These great writers know tho hearts
of men and they bullded on tho fact
that whllo men rcvorenco and wor
ship at tho shrlno of thj tall, majestic
woman, nlnoty-nlno times out of a
hundred. It Is tho cute, little, cunning
woman, with kittenish ways, that can
wrJJ-P them around her finger.
. . ot cu thor w many xplana-
tlons of this phenomenon. Tho most
ohv!ft... ,. th' tf flnMr .
vanity for a women to look ud to him
physically as well as mentally. A man
likes to feel that he Is superior to his
wlfo and it takes one with as much
courage to marry a woman larger
than ho Is as It does for ono to mar
ry a woman that is more intelligent
and better educated than ho Is.
A superior height, llko a superior
mind, is really a handicap rather than
an advantage to a girl so far as get--ting
married is concerned. If you
will look about you you .will see that
the girls who have tho most beaux,
and tho women who hold the matri
monial records are nearly always
small women with a very limited sup.
ply of brains.
Of courso tall women aro admired
and do get married, mostly to very
small men, but that Is. nature's effort
to hold tho balance steady and keep
up the average holght of tho species,
and fcy 'the same token and for tho
same reason the bigger man Is tho
moro tho little woman appealg to
him.
It Is, however, absurd to claim that
mon, as a whole, especially admire
either tho short or tho long typo of
woman, or that her height, unless she
Is a dwarf, has anything to do with a
girl's chances of getting married.
Oupld doesn't go about with a yard
stick and whether a man falls in lovo
with a young woman or not depends
upon something much less tangible
than hor size.
Probably every man has a theory,
before he meets her, that tho divinity
who will stir his pulses will look as
If she had Just dropped down from
tho top of Mount Olympus, Just as
every man imagines that he is a wor
shipper of beauty, and that no woman
who wasn't a real, genuine, bonaflde
Venus could ever mako his heart go
pit-a-pat
Yet In splto of this alleged devotion
to beauty men continue to pick out aa
wives women who havo no standing In
the good looker class. In fact it la
notorious that beauties seldom mako
good marriages and that while men
delight In burning Incense before a
living picture, when thoy want to got
married thoy generally go off and pick
out some lady In tho chromo stylo
of art to tako home with them for
keeps.
It must be a wonderful pleasure and
solace to a woman to be tall, and slen
der and queenly In apearanco and ablo
to contemplate tho reflection of her
figure In every shop window she pass
es without getting heart failure; but
her looks do not cut as much matri
monial Ice as she supposes. Men may
be drawn to her by her beauty at first,
but they soon drift away unless she
hao some charm moro potent than
more good looks with which to hold
them.
Sympathy, comprehension, good na
ture, a willingness to amuse and bo
amused, all that we compriso In tho
cryptic phrase "winning ways" these
ore a thousandfold moro potent In se
curing tho admiration of men than
any height, or peachlnosa of complex
ion. And in this is tho gospel of hope
tor my short and sawed off corre
spondent By taking thought, she can
not odd ono cubit to her etaturo, but
she can cultivate a charm of manner
and personality that would back tho
poor goddess off tho board.

CHEER UP!
Cheer up! Cheer others up! Get
the habit firmly fixed and see the re
sult. You won't have long to wait for
it, for it is felt like a tiny spark of
electricity all along the line.
Do not start in tho morning to find
fault with the weather and complain
it grows dally harder work to earn the
amount necessary to one's living. Rise
determined to be cheerful against no
matter what odds, and make up the
mind to do without some of the accus
tomed delicacies, cut out the imaginary
"must haves," polish your own boots
and walk once in a while just to see
how it fjaels to savo carfare. Smile
readily and cheerfully, and, believe me,
the muscles Boon get used to it, and
It does not hurt. Dress neatly, sing
merrily and hustle. The world has too
many troubles of its own to be inter
ested even mildly in the dally com
plainer. Give the glad hand and the
encouraging word to tho down hearted,
smile on your tradesman, and the pub
lic servants with whom you como in
dally contact. It warms the cockles of
their hearts, and it may be the only
smile that their day boasts.
Leave a memory of your cheerful
ness behind you wherever you go. You
may not know the result, but rest as
sured it will do its work like a sun
beam that burns through a dismal
cloud. Open the windows of the soul
to hope and knowledge of your birth
right, dominion and power with which
to work out your salvation. Give and
it shall be returned to you a hundred
fold. This does not mean alms, but
the gift ot self. Do not beat your
fists against the walls of depression,
but seeing it like a mirago on tho hor
izon smllo cheerfully at it; give it a
sly, knowing wink, then turn your
back upon It and listen to it crumble
into nothingness. Get busy and keep
busy! Absorb and exude cheerfulness!

"' AN EDUCATIONAL BOOM.
It Struck Our College Alono In tho
Early '80i.
Tho curves representing tho num
ber of students are astonishingly simi
lar In tho case of Amorlcan Institu
tions of higher education, whatovor
thoir character and location.
Thero is a normal Increase In at
tendance corresponding to tho growth
In population until about 1885, when
tho curve takes a sudden leap upward,
and In tho case of tho Stato universi
ties, assumes a parabolic form.
Tho curvo for Gorman universities
shows tho samo peculiarity, with tho
sudden upward bend occurring at
1871. This is easily referable to tho
consolidation of tho empire, but In
tho United States thero waa no such
political revolution In 1885.
Whero tho authorities In different
universities have 'been asked to ex
plain this sudden IncreaBo of attend
anco In the early '80s thoy havo attrib
uted It to aomo local cause. "Oh,
that was when our college got a now
president," or "That was tho year of
tho big corn crop," or "Tho now
school law camo into effect then," or
"The Legislature was unusually gen
erous." But there Is a difference of only two
or three years between Harvard and
California in tho date when the curve
Btarted upward, and it Is obvious that
when Eastorn and Western Institu
tions, private and public, high schools
and universities, classical colleges and
technological schools, are affected al
most simultaneously In tho same way
tho fundamental cause must bo a
general not a local one. This cause,
however, according to a writer In tho
Independent, remains to bo discovered.
Politeness.
1 Lieut. Shackleton, in a happy and
manly speech which he made in re
ply to tho toast of his health by Mr.
Helnemann at the dinner given by
that gentleman at the Savoy Hotel,
told an Interesting story of politeness
In the untrodden regions of the Ant
arctic. His party, he said, were always ex
tremely good-humored and polite, and
one professor in particular attained a
degree of politeness unusual under
such trying circumstances. " 'Are
you busy, Mawson?' ho called out ono
night to another member of tho party
who was In the tent.
" 'I am,' said Mawson.
, " 'Very busy?' said the professor.
" 'Yes. Very busy.'
" 'If you are not too busy, Mawson,
I am down a crevasse.'
"The professor was found hanging
down a crevasse by his four fingers,
a position which he could not havo
occupied for any length of time."
