AROUND THE KITCHEN


| 01methinG0 which H0useke@peeS W0uld
do Well to Rsnember.
Soak wooden bowls in cold water 20
as to completely cover them and lei
them dry slowly. to prevent their
cracking when first used.
In summer it is essential that all
garbage pals and other dishes used to
coutain refuse food from the kitchen
should be emptied daily and rinsed out
with cold water after emptying. Scald
out all such pals once q week with
boiling hot soda and water. All
brushes used about the sinks should be
washed out with soda suds at least
once week.
Tho care of the refrigerator is OF the
greatest importance in summer. when
bit Of meat or some other food may
lodge in the corner and taint the en-
tire contents. 1t is a dangerous practice
to connect the waste-pipe of the re-
frigeratOr with the drain. but il il is
desirable TO carry of the water in
this way . pipe in the lower part Of
the pan receiving the waste water
may lead to some pipe well trapped and
ventilated. and connected in this way
with the general sewage pipe. 1t is a
miserable makeshift to lead this pipe
into the ground. and a refrigerator so
drained is sure to become musty in
odOr.
Remember that dampness is q cure
forerunner Of disease in some form. A
damp cellar is especially dangerous. A
good coat Of whitewash, with a plenti-
full supply Of lime left in corners, will
do more to keep q cellar dry than al
most any thing else. When there is an
unusual number of fies about any prem
ises 1t is a sure sign that these useful
little scavengers are needed. Do not
use fy-traps to lure them into the house,
but search the premises to see what
brings them. II you find every thing
scrupulOusly clean you may be sure
that they come from q neighboring
stable or some uncleanly kitchen or
number of sources outside your own
premises. Use wire doors; keep all
food covered when not on the table;
clear of all tables as rapidly as pOssi-
BILE. and leave no invitation for them
about. Darkened rooms in
daytime and open windows at night
will offer almost perfect immunity from
heat and hies.-N Y. Tribune.

THE FARMERS POSITION.

DO farmers respect their own posi-
tion and occupations? Are their meth

at high estimate or at such one a.
they wish to be valued by the world
In their associations with other mer
do they exhibit dignified regard for
themselves and resent such imperti-
nent and assumed superiority as would
place them in an inferior position? Dc
they do their best to exhibit them.
selves to the world in the most favOra-
BILE way? 1t is to be feared that they
do none Of these things-as a class
although there are many individuals
who stand far apart from their associ-
ates In these respects, and to a e reat
extent make an honorable position
for themselves, and for their fellow
farmers by reflection. The farm
ers. with those persons di-
rectly depending upon them. make
up at least q full half OF the whole
population. and with such support 40
might naturally lend to them they form
the balance weight Of the political and
social structure. But it is very Ger.
tain that for some reasons the position
in society to which class 50 placed
and SO numerous is entitled is left va.
cant because Of inability to fill il.
And thus the influence of the farmers
is thrown away, and like the man who
misused the talent the farmers arc
given over to the tormentors
No other men are SO deluded a.
farmers permit themselves to be.
They are so easily talked over and
influenced that they become the prey
OF charlatans Of all kinds, and espe-
cially the victims Of sharpers and
swindlers. People Of any district may
be judged by their public schools. A
man should spend moro for the educa-
tion of his children than for their
clothing. for the furnishing Of their
minds than for that Of their bodies;
and. inasmuch as the mind is
infinitely superior to the body, so its
and training are more to
be considered. Viewed from this point
OF. view. one may perhaps make .
shrewd guess of the cause Of the low
position occupied by the majority OF
farmers Unfortunately these men are
not mentally clear-sighted. and do not
zee their own unfavorable position. \
Hence We see philanthr0pic- associa-
tions proposing to the farmers . series
Of questions regarding their social. po-
lidcal. moral. and pecuniary standing,
and the causes Of its low grade. which
b admitted - . forsgone conclusion
y'the very submission of these ques-
tiops. Every farmer should feel called
upbn to study these matters and call
tht attention Of his neighbors to them

STILL THEY GO.

Notwithstanding the copious
tears being shed by the editor of
certain newspaper, claiming to
be Republican, over the removal
of Democratic postmasters, the
work goes steadily on, and in a
manner highly satisfactory to the
Republican party. During the
week Just closed changes were
made in 1912 offices. The high
est number of changes made in
one week was 1016. The latter
number broke the record. which
breaking occurred about the mid
die of May. The past week gave
the record a close cali, although
Mr.. Clarkson made no special eff
fort. Since the incoming of the
present Administration over II, 900
Democratic postmasters of the

Post that II. Herbert, director of

modern French painters, and per-
haps the best representative still
living of the great poetic French
school Of art" says of Mr.. Coles
engraEings now appearing in the
Century, che had never seen such
work on wood, and did not suppose
wood-engrving to be capable of
it."
AS was stated in the announce
ment of the series, the appear
anee of the engravings is in chro-
biological order. Specimens of
the work OF such pre-Raphaelites
as Cimabue, Giotto, Spinello, and
others have already been shown;
and while the reproductions of
the paintings of these artists are
of the highest value to art stu
dents, the gsnsral public will be
more interested in the later work
which is to include admirable
specimens of the art of Perugino,
Leonardo, Titan, Michael, Ange.

reggie, Tintorretto, and many
other well-known names-the mas
ters of the worlds art. Leonar-

Man with the Gloves" and "The
Entombment," Rembrandts "Sup.

nelli's "The Salutation," are
among the engravings to come.
1t is said that this series of pic
tupes is being received with great
Interest in Italy where ere most
Of the originals which Mr.. Cole
has reproduced, ALI of his pic
lures are engraved directly from
the originals, Mr.. Cole doing his

which the engraver has given of
