4 LITTLE LAND SCHEME.

The temper Of the present Congress
would hardly appear TO encourage the
Introduction of new schemes to gobble
up the pnbiic domain ON account OF
railroad construction. ring of land
spectators Ia ArizJna, however, have
been sanguine enough to make sach an
attempt. The Mineral Belt Railway
Company does nos ask the Government
to give il any lands. bat merely the
privilege Of purchasing every odd sec
ton along the line Of its proposed road
at x1.Z5 per acre. This. when camp red
with the claim of ths Northern Paoihc
Railroad Company for a donation OF
forty sections 70. each completed
mile OF railroad, IL quite modest. 1t
will not, however, mad favor with the
people, who are opposed to permitting
corporations or indiyidu lis to become
owners, by purchase or otherwise, OF
large areas of land. The bill to carry
out the scheme referred to Was To have
been iatrodncei ia the House by the
Delegate from Arizona; but the attitude
Of the Committee on Public Lands
frightened him. The company there
fore procured its introduction in the
Senate, where it WAS referred to the
Committee on Public Lands, before
whom arguments in It's favor have been
heard this week. Again the question
comes up: II railroad is necessary
and will be profitable. why il Govern
ment aid demanded? II it isn't neees-
sary and will not pay, it should not be
constructed. The country can wait.

A Partisan Kitchen.

From the Brooklyn Eagle.l
i fair average Paris kitchen is about
nine feet long and five feet wide. 1t
never has more than one window,
which generally looks into an obscure
dooryard some nine feet square. Along
the wall runs an iron edged table four
five feet long and about two feet wide.
In this table are cut from four to six
square holes, and underneath runs a
shelf of stone or iron of just the same
size as the table itself. The space be-
tween this shelf and the table is closed
in front by iron doors. This block
against the wall bears the general name
of forneau, and, with the exception of
roasting, it is on this block that all the
cooking is done. II is difficult to real
ize the economy of fuel which is rem
dered possible by the use
of these forneaux. Tea ket-
ties not existing in France, the
water is boiled in covered tin jug
called bouilIotte, and in this the wa
ter heats very rapidly, but it has one
defect-it never sings. The French
system is, as whole, singularly per
feet, and as it permits cheap cooking of
the smallest quantities of food it is the
first cause of the infinite variety OF
nourishment which is one of the privi-
leges of French life.
