A cooking demonstration;; as given at l£e>srs Beale, and Co>., ipremises, in Masterton, 'yesterday afterhoon; is evidently a most? interesting) operation, fjhere to witness':'the kerosene stoves in;actpal : usej. when! a wide range of cakes,! pastry, scones, eto.>f were cebkbd arid sabsequently enjoyed by the callers. Such an, exhibition not only gives new purchasers an portunity of getting hints on how to . start right, but ladies who have had the st-oves in use for some time have 'the chance of having their little mis-* 'taken put right. .There were a large number of enquiries at • the demonstration, and the experiment should prove; a profitable one to Messrs - Beale and Go'. It was proved beyond question yesterday afternoon that the cost of ÜBing these very handy and clean aids to. easy house-keeping, is not more' than $d per hour for each burner, ao that the cost of roasting a mea twill run out at the very small amount 'of one penny; Another exhibition is being given by the company's demonstrator (Miss Law) • this afternoon, and another in the evening, and a cordial invitation to be present .is extended to ladies or gentlemen interested in the stoves. Advantage may also be taken to inspect and price the varied stock carried by Messrs Beale and Co.
