RAISE THE KITCHEN STOVE.
A simple Expedient that would
save MANY q Backache.

We have made q discovery lately
which. it seems now, we ought to have
mads sooner, that the top of the aver
age kitchen stove is too little elevated
above the floor, and that there is in
consequence good deal Of backacfie
and other discomforts inflicted upon
the cook because SO much OF her work
has to be done in STOPPING posture.
Rather we should say, perhaps, that
we have discovered a remedy for the
trouble which we have borne for many
years, and which we hasten to make
known to others in the hope Of lessen
ing their troubles.
Our remedy is simply lifting the
stove upon a platform which will raise
it to such height that it will bring
the cooking utensils, when on the
stove, within easy reach to one stand
ing in an erect or nearly erect posture.
In our case this required platform
about nine inches in depth, and tc
save the trouble and expense of pro-
curing a carpenter to build it We Sc
cured an empty packing-box of the
requisite size from the grocer at a cost
OF only ten cents. Brushed over with
some staining material corresponding
with the color OF the floor, our plat
form looked neat and as though an es
tablished part OF the room.
The only additional expense in
volved was that OF adjusting the stove
pipe to the new conditions. The toI
OF the stove is now as high as the
kitchen table, or little higher, anC
the cook and every one who has occa
sion to use the stove are delighted
with the change and the greatly light
ened labor.-N. Y. Mail and Express

the London Globe. The doctor, think

took advantage OF the weak intellects
Of the patients to tamper with the
food, and acting upon the suggestion oi
the man, who had laid his complaint
in a very coherent manner, at once
proceeded to the kitchen to inspect the
soup, which was boiling in huge
cauldron over the fire. He lifted the
lid and was about TO take out small
quantity to test it, when he was
startled by the patient, who had fol-
lowed him into the kitchen, whisper
ing into his ear: Do you know, doc
tor. you are so nice and fat you would
make good strong broth ?" The mar
then seized him by the shoulders, pre-
paratory to throwing him into the caul

The doctor knew that it would bt

who was tall and powful. With greai
presence of mind he said quietly. -

to leave the kitchen. BY this mean
he was able to call for assistance an'

its application to such meaning is that
French writer, in ridicule Of the ex-

an absurd story in regard to the ex-

that 20 having been placed together,

thing was repeated with the same re-
suit until at length but one remained,
this one having devoured the other
nineteen in a very brief time. The
story was irculated in nearly all the
European journals and after having
been forgotten for several years wal
revived, with some additions and en-

Dawson and Her Merchants.

During the past three or four
years, Dawson has been steadily ad-
vancing. Her prosperity is now
assured and, in the next year or
two to come her growth and de.
velopment will be more rapid
than it has been at any time dur
ing the past. Even within the
past few weeks several new fami-
lies have moved into Dawson, and
there are others veto come between
this and the new year. The popula>
ton OF the town is, therefore, con-
stantly on the increase;and, DIS this
increases, 50 will enterprise ana
business development. Every
house in~tbe city,so far as we know,
is either already occupied or spo>
ken for, besides the new buildings
constructed during the year. The
time will come in the near future
we apprehend, when the city Of
Dawson will number at least five
thousand souls; and in tie Y, IS to
come it is not impossible that the
population Will reach two or three
times that number. The growth
and enterprise ofthe town has been

the outlook Is bright, and though
the year has been hard one, in
many respects, there's no cause why
any should despond. Should the
