The Abolition of Kitchens.
Milwaukee Sentine

milwaukee Senttnel.
The prevailing notion that the kitchen is
woman's peculiar province is all humbug.
She is no better fitted to the work OF the
kitchen than man. and in nine cases out of
ten she has no sort of business fooling with
such deadly things as articles of food can be-
come when improperly handled. Woman
has ceased to weave in her domestic life,
ceased to Drew, ceased to make the clothes of
the men-folks-it can all be done better and
cheaper by corporations specially designed
to do these things on a large scale. Cooking
will soon join the Others, and woman will be
given more time for self.improvement, more
time time to train her children, more time
to overcome the weaknesses of her emotional
nature And the household will be better
sustained. The cost of running a kitchen
will be saved; the doctors bill rendered
necessary by woman's overwork will be
saved, and the woman will be able, often,
to earn an income in an industrial occupa-
ton,

Hadn't Heard the News.

Camilla, (Ga.l, Clarion.
From the following incident which, we
are told, occurred in this county some weeks
ago, it is evident that some missionary
work is needed at home. A negro woman
living near a country church, of which she
was regular attendant sent the pastor word
that she felt that she was blessed with relig
ion and desired to consult him concerning
the salvation Of her SOUL But it seems that
she had but little idea of what Christian re-
ligion is for, when the pastor began to ques-
ton her, and asked: DO you feel that you
have been born again; that your sins have all
been forgiven? And do you believe that Je-
sus Christ died to save sinners?" she ex-
claimed:
Look her. is Jesus dead? OATS wat
makes me say wat l do; Folks wat lives
way out here in these woods can't never hear
no news. Well, sir; and Jesus is dead fer a
fac? Pse been begging John to move close
to town, but he's afeard ov benz boddered too
much wild desc politics men, and SIGH"
The anxious minister was so astonished at
the ignorance OF the woman that it was a
long time before he could find words to preach
TO her the New Testament.

Swiss belts of leather or velvet are worn by
young ladies with cloth dresses. They are
made with points in 'front.' the upper one
small and the lower very long, and the back
is plain straight band. Jet belts of fine
beads very close together are worn with vel

Smoky hues are the fashion with English
ladies; there are smoke blue, smoke-green

by simmer that is shadow-like aud gives
charming effect. Smoke-b blue is trimmed
with garnet, and sunny brown is combined
with green.
new trimming that brightens up dark
velvet bonnets is tapestry embroidery in
many colors, done on velvet the color OF the
bonnet. For very gay dresses of varied col

but it is preferred as a softy-folded garni-

velvet bonnets.
Curls promise great popularity for the
coming season. They must be short and
heavy, and are worn to the best advantage in

rather elongated braid or twist at the back
of the head. They make the prettiest of

1t is the hand of genuine philosophers, the
hand, not of men VINO occupy themselves

are inspired, of men Of true enlightenment,
free from all hypocrisy; whose enthusiasm
is pure ore, free from all alloy. These are
its characteristics Hand small and elegant;
knots imperceptible; nail phalanx almond
shaped; palm of average size thumb small

covered and noted-greater strength of will
and love of calculation will be indicated,

COlored Wraps.

New York Evening Post.
Little girls this winter are wearing regular
little Red Riding Hoods, their cloaks being
fashioned exactly after the model worn by
the unfortunate heroine of the famous nur-
sery legend. The fashion has also extended
to people of large growth, as many young
ladies are seen wearing long ulsters and close
fitting Newmarkets made of ladies' cloth OF
the darkest shade of cardinal and Vandyke
red Most OF these wraps are unadorned, but
a few are seen trimmed with five or six rows
of very narrow black velvet ribbon. This is
usually when the cloaks are worn over skirts
of black veveteen. The bonnet or hat is
also OF black velvet and black gloves are a
fitting accom- paniment, though few daring
women have appeared wearing-in utterly
bad taste-a pair of long Swedish kid gloves
of shade corresponding with that of the Ill
ster. Many shades of red hitherto seen only
upon children, or relegated to home wear, if
adopted by grown-up people, are seen upon
the Streets shades which but year ago
would have made the wearer, if upon the
promenade, an object of critical notice and
remark. These gay colors are seen every

Mrs. Senator Logan, who has been visiting
her son, who is fourth-class man at West

Early Life.
Washington Correspondence Cleveland Leader.
Many a man who has been elected to the
House before he was thirty has retired after
a single term into well-merited obscurity.
Mcpherson, Clerk of the last Congress, came
here nearly thirty years ago, scarcely over
the age alluded to, for admission TO the
House. twenty-five years later he returnes
to take the place of Clerk. John Randolph
of Roanoake. was at the opening of his term
one of the youngest men who ever sat in
Congress. He was so the story goes, not yet
twenty-five, and the question was asked as
10 his age. Il refer the gentleman" was his
grandiloquent reply, ito my constituents in
Virginia" and on this reply he was allowed
to take his seat. Henry Clay was only TWEEN
ty-nine when he was sent TO the United
States Senate, and John c, Cal
houn was the same age when
he entered the House. Blaine became
a congressman at thirty-two, Conkling at
thirty, John Sherman at thirty-one, Dan.
Voorhees, at thirty-two, Ben. Butler at thirty
eight Daniel Webster at thirty, and Tom
Benton, coming first to Washington at the
age of thirty two, entered the United States
Senate, where he remained almost an equal
number of years taking notes of all the de-
bates and writing his ponderous Thirty
Years. view, which nobody but himself has
even read.
Coming down to the leading congressman
of to-day Sam Cox was thirty.ive before he
came here, Sam Randall was thirtyfour, W.
d. Kelley was forty-seven Carlisle forty
two, and Tom Reed forty. Most ri these
men have futures before them and some
thing of their present greatness is perhaps
due to the fact that they were not sprung too
soon into public life.
