Set the Stove Higher.

We have lately made discovery which,
1t seems now, we ought to have made
sooner-that the top of the average kitchen
stove is too little elevated above the floor,
and that there is in consequence good
deal of backache and other discomfort in
ficted upon the cook because so much of
her work has to be done in a STOPPING
posture Rather, we should say, perhaps,
that we have discovered remedy for the
trouble which we have borne for many
years, and which we hasten to make known
to others in the hope of lessening their
troubles.
Our remedy is simply lifting the stove
upon platform which will raise it to such
hight as will bring the cooking utensils,
when on the stove, within easy reach of
one standing erect, or nearly so. In our
case this required a platform about nine
inches in depth, and to save the expense
of carpenter to build 1t, we secured an
empty packing box of the requisite size
from the grocer at cost of only ten cents.
Brushed over with staining material cor
responding with the color of the floor, our
platform looked neat and as though an es-
tablished part of the room.
The only additional expense involved
was that of adjusting the stovepipe to the
new conditions. The top of the stove is
now as high as the kitchen table, or a
little higher, and the cook and every one
who has occasion to use the stove are de-
lighted with the change and the greatly
lightened labor.--N Y .Haii and Erpress.
