Cattle in the Kitchen.

1t is not unusual, in these days OF
fancy stock breeding. to hear of stables
costing as much to build as ordinary
mansions, but, as rule, the farmers
cattle are not cared for as they should
be- Barns are not even rain-tight, and
in some new sections cattle are forced
to live as best they can through a long
win e. With no better protection
against cold and stormy weather than
"lean-to"
In some European countries they go
to the other extreme-nOtably in Hol-
land, where cattle are housed quite as
comfortably as human beings.
The houses in Holland are chiefly OF
brick, square in shape, one story high,
with peaked, red-tiled roofs. On open
ing the door you are shown into a large
room, with kitchen utensils in the glory
Of highly FURNISHED splendor hanging
about stove or a cooking range. with
here table, a settee, and few chairs,
with a strip Of carpet laid on the brick
toor.
Hanging down this long room is a
TOW of COW stalls on an elevated brick
paved platform, with trench back of
the stalls about two feet vide and two
feet deep. This room accommodates
from twenty to fifty COWS on well-to-
do farmers place.
In the spring, when the cattle are
turned out to grass, the stalls are
scrubbed and secured, the brick pave
ments painted and the walls and cell
ings whitewashed. Lace curtains are
arranged at the windows; often flower
pots or little jardinieres are kept there
during the summer, and the room
smells as sweet and is as clean as the
milk-house of the most fastidious
farmers wife.
After the COWS are housed in the fall
they remain in until spring. You see
no cow-yards. The cattle are either in
pasture or in their stalls. When turned
out, they are blanketed with sea-cloth
curious1v held in place by ropes run
ming under and around the legs.
This large room mentioned above is
occupied jointly by the COWS and the
servants. Opening from it, you enter
a dining and sitting-room, generally
carpeted, and, unlike the stable and
kitchen, it has wooden floors. From
this you enter the bedrooms.
The beds are in an elevated alcove,
with doors in front, cutting it off from
the room, The bed is usually bunk.
In this province bedsteads are seldom
used.

of illumination, upon which the world IS
Just enterng-the electric light.
AS to what electricity really is, we are
as ignorant as we are of the nature OF
the nature of light. We speak of it as
a current" but only as a matter of con-
Venience, since, as Il matter OF fact, 1t
may be something entirely different. To
convey to the reader of limited scientific
knowledge an intelligent idea of the cleo
trio light is difficult but not hopeless
task.
When the terminal wires of a battery
are brought together and then slightly
separated, there results bright light
between them. To this light, by reason
of its curved form, the name "electric
are" has been given. If the circuit is
not Immediately broken the ends of the
wires become greatly heated and melt,
dropping off in glowing glObules. AS
they melt away the distance between
them increases, and a point is reached
at which the electrO-mOtivo force OF the
battery is no longer sufficient to main
tain a current across the intervening
space.
AS the heat thus generated is sufficient
to fuse and even VapOriZe all known
metals, the problem of rendering the
electric light permanent and profitable
became most difficult one. It's solution
was found in using points Of carbon,
which no heat can fuse but which can
be vaporized. The bright arc is caused
in part by the intensely heated carbon
vapor through which the current passes,
and in part by the high temperature of
the carbon points themselves. AS the
points burn away they are pushed
forward by means of delicate ma
chinery, which comprises the most
intricate part of an electric lamp,
and constant separating space is
maintained. The carbon connected with
