Uncle Sam’s Cook Book.

The United -Btnt.es publishes a great limn,f hooks, lint H Is not generally known that among them Is a cook hook. And it Is not for the bciiellt of the White House all her. There Is u While House cook I look, lull it is published privately, and Is as big as the family Bible. Tin* United Slules cook hook is a small one, enlarged slightly, how ever. In tin* revised edition, which, according to the I’itisluirg Times, will lie out shortly. If is for tin* heneiit of the army, and in two sections, the llrst containing rules for the cooks at thi* posts anil stations, and the second f or cooks in the Held. The latter are not hard and fast, of course, Imt suggestions rather, and are the results of actual experience in that line of duty. It Is said that the honk will lie of great value to the army, and If the rules are ol>eye<l Hint can well lie believed, for the nnliy cook left to Ids unassisted intellect does not. rank with the chefs. The copy for tin* new edition Inis been carefully and conscientiously scrutinized by the Secretary of War, wli.o Is understood to lie an excellent Judge of cooking, and it is probable that lie' lias added some useful suggestions. The women show very little interest ordinarily in the publications of the United States government, but It is sufe to say that they would lake pleasure In perusing this cook book.
