OPINION OF AN EXPERT.
Mrs. Mary Il. WEIGH, Teacher of Domestic
Economy at State University of Iowa.

"My deliberate Judgment is that the oven
of tho Range, as compared with others
is not only more equally heated in every
part-front as well as rear-but as result
of its superior ventilation the food placed
therein is better cooked, while retaining a
sweeter flavor, and larger proportion of
its best juices. 1 have found, also, that the
OF fuel in this Range for a given
amount of work, is much less than any other"

A LANDMARK GONE.
Built in 166O-and Destroyed by Fire Aft
nr-ay. ErvyI,

Built in 1900 and Destroyed by Fire After
Over Two Centuries.
The oldest dwelling house in Vir-
ginia, if not the Oldest in the United
States. was destroyed by fire a short
time ago. This residence was on the
Potomac river, in Westmoreland Coun-
ty, Va, about ninety miles southeast
of Washington. 1t was built in 1860
by Henry Corbin, who settled in the
parish of Strathon Major about 1850,
on a tract of land obtained by one
Nicholas Jarnen from Charles IL, De-
tober Is, 1850. The name of Peckatone
was given the grant, and 700, 600 brick
were imported from England to build
the structure that was devOured by the
flames two hundred an1 twenty-six
years later. The walls of this building
at the foundation were three feet in
thickness and the timber used in its
construction was of hewn oak. 1t was
apparently as solid on the day that it
was destroyed as when first built and
its walls are now standing intact The
first English settlement in Virginia
was at jamestown and the settlement
of Plymouth Rock was made in 1920.
The relics of early settlement can be
found at Saint Augustine, Florida, aid
at Sante Re, New Mexico, but thev are
in the form of old forts and no walls of
dwelling houses built at such an early
date are standing.
A hundred years or so ago, after the
old dwelling house was built, it was
allowed to fall into decay. One BY one
window frames rOtted and were blown
out by gales of wind; ceilings and the
plastering from the walls fell from ex-
posture to rain and sun. The large
stone pOrches at the front and rear of
the house finally fell to pieces, and
through holes in the roof the elements
completed the general appearance of
dilapidation. In 1885 the property was
sold to Horace b. Kirkwood, of this
city. He restored the mansion to a
habitable condition and furnished it in
handsome style. Among those distin-
guished families who, during a period
of more than two centuries. have lived
at Peckatone, are the Corbins, the
Lees, the Taylors, the Turbervilles, the
Dangerfields, the Talliferrors and tia
Hardwicks, all old Virginia farRi4ies.-s

THE REASONS WHY.

Why2 When Pm all alone in life,

And not soul in She dear old home
save a little bound girl and mel
IT does look lonesome, I grant il;

And the apple trees blush TO bloom,
There summer, when great moths MT ana
Through the twIlEht's star-lit gloom.
Then comes the beautiful autumn,
When every fragrant briar,
FlinRinR it's Enrlands on fence and wall,
Is bright as a living fire,
And then the white, still winter time,
When the snow lies warm on the wheat,
And think of the days that have passed
When my wife was young and sweet.
I'm a very happy woman
To-day, though my hair is white,
For some of my troubles I've Overlived,
And some keep out of sight.
Tn busy old woman, you see, dear,
As travel along LIES road.
I'm alwhys trying as best can,
To lighsen my neighbor's load.

Mr.. Fond. the Government analys

Mr.. Fond, the Government analyst
of New Zealand, has proved by actual
experiment that the dust thrown out
during the recent volcanic eruptions is
of a highly fertilizing kind. He OBJ
tanned samples of the dust from three
different places, and sowed aquantity Of
clover and grass seeds in each. The
soil was kept moistened with distilled
water, so that no manurial elements
might be impaired by the water used.
In all cases the growth was almost as
vigorous as in rich volcanic soil. The
RAPID growth of the plants and their
color show that the dust is a benefit to
