ITS ARRIVAL AT LAST.

FUTURIST COOKING. Those -who have been watching tli* and .portents of the times felt snfo that Futurist Cooking was bound to corne, W'riU'S "'Qitccn tjec," iu t'lio "Atistralltsiaii." The Incly'iii the Futurist }*,o\V)i—Ltoii Bsikst's for choice — sitting ist ft Futurist (Jinii.ir-taWp, and siirfoimclccl by Cubist fitfnittirc and pictiiros, (iohW, not possibly gfl on oajrng inodci'ii nrrtils ivitJiout violating tho viitilins. Tlic pictufi! can now l?i : ; wimpletml by, say, s {liner in a sage-grteil fiflwn wish jiurplo'tiiniraings, and woarriiS a sonrlct [soppy hvad-drcss, partaking of bananas stewed in raspberry jam, ansl garnished with Washed Iwirrinfts' and orange fls\Ver water—for this rs oils of the choicest Futurist dishes available at tlw present. jVs ' Claud ■jlelnotte (iu "The Lady of Lyons"), who had been paiutiag eolwir visions lifting te "Eternal Saiiimtf/' asked of Paulino: "Dost like the picture?" However, whether we iik* it. <i.r ritrt, it is here, nml liere it will stay until some other freak tiling p'tisljos it into the limbo of the past that omitaius mtiny eirrious things, paper-bag cookery for.fine. The liigh-pfl-iest of the kitchen «f the future is one M. Jules jitaiwraye, who has given his sVhole iriventive niind to tlw pinfming of dish*s that \vill uphold thb banner of the no* movement in lu'ijmi?, cafe, or restaurant, and li» is certain that not. only will the toasters delight in his con feet tons, kit will, like poor tittle Oliver Twist, ask for more. It. Mairjenvc starts iff ivith a vt'i'itabl.c inspiration, carrots stewed in cod liver oil, niid scented with vmhi t'Ssence ncecssftry to keep the aroma of the oil in cheek. .Raiv.osh and minced snails miirinad.ed in Madeira, and ner

with whipped tomato ereiim sauce, is another dwice plate, which would fe- ■ qiiferrv so one thinks, a .palate educated up to its appreciation like.the acquired taste for Ivatisba, in "The Jlikado." But- if snails, why not slugs? And if raw ftsli, why *s'ok anything? And' there- you arc, a wtjrld of ssviug in kitchen wages. Stewed eels, geifisebeiT.Y i-ani, and fttie old brandy cannot votr \rell be called Appetising, b'ut then Fii» turist si'pp.rtitcs. seem to b&.»*n.n niiknowii fiviantity, and it is nbt likely that 31.

Another "exdffsiyo" is muttsin and crayfish sanee, With Aiiftostuiii bitters, and basted with it Kiriiiniol, efln-sfstiiffi at ffiwl bivnanas stitffed with gruyere. An oys'tef omelet does not wSund Isftd, but it has to be perfumed with peppermint iiud drcftclied with crlive -oil and absinihe.

These eompomisls at first _ reading I seem weird, lincnM-ny, jii.id borriblo mixtures, 'difficult of digestion After eaten. Biit it mttst bo' roinCTiibered . that wo eat sweep ajvplo satiefii with pork, orange wit-li wif.4 duck, ami Jfrlij' with nititton, and litio tho c'oatitiim rciiinrkftMy well, Mai.if people would rfofc give a th.ajik. you fer a. pudding without n. filico ifif cheese with it, and soroo tastes prefer sicppM' fti'id siiß to sugar, with straw- ' be-rrisss, and declare, that those who (itteo tasted the frififc treated in tliiis '■ manner, would never return to sugar ! and cream again.
