be required to take upon themselves
the roles Of cook, chanber-main, and
laundress, and presto! what a change,
not only in economy but also in health!
When men wish TO be particularly
exasperuting. they remind us OF what
our grandmothers did in the good old
times. These wonderful ladies brewed
and baked, and spun and wove, per-
formed prodi9ies in housekeeping, ut
the same time having few or none OF
the conveniences that we now have.
True, every word of il, but only half
truth, after all. With modern convent
ences have come in inc:e3s;L demands;
our grandmother sat In her spacious
kitchen, and never dreamed Of open
ing her best room except on state oc-
casions. The lady of today is remind
ed that she must be IL handsome plr-

keep herself posted in literature, prac-
tice her music, and all that sort OF
thing, in addition to her domestic du-
ties, if she would entertain her hus-
band and preserve his affections.
Believe me, il is not the women, but
the houses and the times that are in
fault. So long rs houses are built us
they now are, and so long as men ex-
pect upon their private tables, the re-
suits of the labors Of professional
cook, just so long will servants be
found necessary, or mistresseS will

A vote was recently taken in the
British house of commons on the bill
90 abolish the hereditary principles of
the house Of lords. This was the
fourth time within seven years that
the bill came up, and on three former
occasions it received little encourage
ment from English politicians Of i'm
portance. This time, however, it has
not only been backed by the liberal
leaders, but has received some tory
support, and has been defeated by the
small majority of fl in total vote of
361. While the house of lords as at
present constituted, is generally recog-
nized as a stumbling block to British
progress, few politicians have the
courage TO attempt to deprive its men,
bers of their cherished privilege, and
some have no doubt been deferred by
the hope that they might at some flu
ture time gain the distinction OF seat
among the peers. But the member of

Nothing is more unsightly than
an empty, useless tomato can. II
seems to have no resting place in
the economy of natare. Occasion
ally, some want turns up which
this empty can is exactly suited to
fill, but it is jostled out of place by
twenty other empty cans all wait,

nearly 5O0,OO0,OO0 tomato cans
filed with tomatoes by the canned
goods manufacturers of the United
States each year, it is not surprising
that there should be surplus of
empty cans.
Yet each of these empty cans
has been dignified by the tax col
ector. The overhowing Treasury
of the United States has received
half IA cent apiece on each of fthese
forlorn- looking objects. This half
cent has finally come out of the
pocket of the consumer of canned
tomatoes. AS canned goods aver
age cheaper throughout the year
than the fresh vegetables, the in
cidence of this tax falls on the
poorer classes. Half n cent does
not look much by itself, yet nearly
$4,000, ,Ql0 of revenue were raised
from this source alone last year.

This timed plate consists of thin

to the genius of the American peo.
pie. 1t is light, durable, does not
easily rust, and is not corroded by
ordinary acids. 1t has inumerable
uses, besides acting as vehicle for
preserved foods. In all the large
cities Of the country, timed plate
is driving out wooden shingles as Il

Every kitchen is filed with tin

to the large saucepan. In dairy
work tin is even more important.
The milk is received in Il tin pale,

is conveyed in big cans to the cities
Sometimes it is put up in the form
of condensed milk in the small
tins known to everybody.
Another industry into which
timed plate largely enters is the
manufacture of toys. Germany is
the headquarters of the world in
children's toys. Many Germans
who have come to this country
have brought knowledge of this
art with them and cheap American
toys now command the home
market. Not only that, but Mr..
Leo Schlesinger, one of the largest
toy manufacturers in the United
States, says, that with cheaper
timed plate II large export trade
in toys would soon be developed.
The export trade Of the United
States in canned goods lags be-
hind where it ought to be. The
present duty of one cent IL pound
on timed plate means tax of
eight per cent on an ordinary can

per cent would pay freight across
