1t is difficult to find good teakettle In

is far better than inferior tin Fireproof
stoneware is better for most cooking than
metal of any kind.
1t was safe sanitary measure, unknown

shar, Knive. for the Kitchen.

The pathway of the average cook is sell
dom if ever rose strewn, and when neces-
sity obliges her TO put up with the make
shifts" of the ordinary kitchen, do not
blame her too severely if the weeds of dis
content spring mp and gain strong foot
hold. No workman be he carpenter,
joiner, mason or decorator, can do perfect,
acceptable work without appropriate tools,
neither can cook work as fast or as well
with inconveniences as she can in a prop
erly appointed kitchen.
The one item of pairing knives is mat
ter of gigantic Importance TO the cook,
with her many ''irons in the fire." vet it is
an exceptional case where a kitchen is
found containing these necessities that are
sufficiently sharp TO pare with ease tur-
nip, an apple or potato. In the average
American kitchen they are "as dull as a
hoe, " to use common expression.
If the happy poSsessor of one or two Of
your grandmOther's old tin case knives,
hold on 10 them with a determined grip;
their price is above rUbies," Much of the
cutlery of the present day is so poor that
it will not hold an edge. a good file,
polished down on a grindstone, with one
end fastened into a wooden handle, the
other sharpened off to point, is said TO be
far better than any manufacturer knife
the steel being of so much better quality
A small milestone should be it's constant
ompanion.-Good Housekeeping.

Wizard Edison's Wifa.

"a pretty typewriter girl sat at her ma
chine playing a wind like waltz over the
keys, when a quiet, serious man in a suit
of overalls stepped up aud motioued her to
stop. The small. white hands went down,
the soft brown eyes were raised. and TO
their inquiring look he asked: Will you
be my wife, l haven't any time for court
ship and that kind of stuff. If you want
to get married, say so, and I'll treat you
we'll a wave Of scarlet passed over the
lovely brunette face, the eyes dropped, and
a very sweet voice said, 4 would like to
think it over How long" This even
ing She thought about it, thought affir-
matively, and today she is Mrs Thomas
Edison"
All of which is very pretty, of course, but
all of which is untrue. 1t is time this
yarn was called in. Mrs. Thomas A.
Edison was Miss Nina Miller, eldest
daughter of Lewis Miller, the millionaire
mower and reaper manufacturer, of Ohio
She is a beautiful and accomplished lady,
and it is very doubtful whether she has
ever seen a typewriter. She certainly

When a gown is so hopelessly out of
fashion that it will not answer even for
home wear, or when it is for any other rea-
son hors de com bat, do not hang it away
in closet, to take up room, or shut it up
in chest, to grow musty. First of all get
it thoroughly cleansed. If it is composed
of washing goods have it washed in its en-
tirety, as clean clothes are so much pleas
anter to handle than soiled ones. Puffs
and tucks should, of course, be taken out
first, and draperies that come off easily
may be removed and washed separately.
If the material viii not wash, brush and
air thoroughly, leaving the task of remov-
ing stains, etc, till later on.
When it is as clean as it is practicable to
make it, rip il into its constituent parts.
Such portions as are quite used up detach
and put aside, along with very small
pieces for rags-to be sold TO rag dealer
or got out of the way in any manner that
seems best. Buttons and hooks and eyes
should be put into box kept for that pur-
pose. They can almost always be used
again. Such parts of the lining as are still
sound, iron smoothly, roll into nice even
bundles, and put away. The material of
the gown proper which is still good, press
carefully out, fold like a piece of new
goods, and put away in a chest kept sacred
to "raw material"-i. C., goods TO be made
up when needed.
OF course IL is not gowns alone that can
be thus dissected. Do the same with every
cast off garment, even underwear. Then,
when something new is required for one of
the children-a shirt, peJticOat, frock or
jacket-never visit the stores till you have
first looked through the contents of this
chest, which is very often seek no fur
ther;" and the convenience it is TO have
goods in such shape that one can tell abb
solutely how far they may be made availa-
bic is, as most women will believe, very
great.
1t is not only the children's wardrobes
that are REINFORCED from this source. A
new house gown is often to be found by
making Il combination OF some of the ma
terials stored therein Indeed, one of the
much bedraped skirts of year or two ago
will sometimes furnish full gown of the
present simpler fashion.
Put a piece of gum Camphor in the chest
as a deterrent to moths; but the fact that
all the goods are clean is itself a point in
favor of immunity from the ravages of these
insects.-Katherine B. Coulter in Good

Teaching Manners.

THERE'S another branch of culture which
for many years has been greatly neglected,
but which We are glad to see is beginning
TO receive the attention it deserves in most
Of our first class schools for girls. We re-
fer 10 the cultivation Of the graceful move
ments of the body, the walk, the carriage,
the uprising, the down sitting. entering a
room, the intgoduCtion-all of the easy,
quiet manners which should come by in
stinct, but which, alas! never do.
For many years that part of a young
persons education once deemed so impor-
tant by our grandmothers, or rather great
grandmotherS, has been utterly neglected;
perhaps it was because good society had
become weary Of the extent To which the
formaiiJies Of the minuet DAYS had been
carried, the bowinS and courtesying and
lofty poiitenesS. But good deal Of sweet
feminine graciousness and of chivalric
masculine politeuess was lost when the
period of mo friils" set in with the hail
fellow, well met manners of the Young
people Of our time, which, although per
hsps honest, are not always considerable
and well bred
Apparently the world IS beginning TO
recognize this, and at all events 1t Is a step

taught az school that there j. a right way
and wrong way 10 everything. even in

The Cost of Going Into Society.

If you have a daughter to introduce into
society, and you belong to the upper ten,
make up your mind that it will cost you at
least, for costumes, entertainments and
so forth, 10000. That the game is not
worth the candle need not enter into your
calculations at all. And il is to be doubted
if the girl launched on society at cost Of
$4,000 makes better friend, wife or
mother than the girl who, in the humber
ranks of life, gets three new dresses for her
first season, and whose coming out party is
a jolly affair in the evening, where they
have sandwiches, coffee, fancy ices" aud
perhaps sherry and port, and where they
dance the Virginia reel with enjoyment,
and don't 90 home until morning.
For my own part, think it is a lovely
and blessed thing for the excessively rich
to spend money in lavish and even ridcu-
lous way. II all helps trade.-Mattie

Wives Who Are Rreadujnuers.

Women who have husbands to support
them often take il as matter Of course,
and perchance even complain that they are
not supported in ease and affiuence. It
might be we'll for such TO look at another
side of the matter sometimes. 1t has been
estimated by an employe of the United
States bureau of labor that there are "a, 900
married men in the city Of New York who
are supported by their wives, less than
1000 of whom are in menial service The
mOdistes are in the majority. This in
cludes dresamakers and nilliners, many OF
whom own property, some being very
wealthy, and all well 70 do. The boarding
house keepers rank next in number; the
professional women, who EN- brace doctors,
lawyers, dentists, aUrists, writers, teach
ers, musicians, lecturers, designers, paint
ers and enIhroiderers, come third. Then
there are the shopkCepers, who, 1t is said,
make the best providers. - Rural New

Americans, worthy Ernmnies-

The American citizen is not content to
exist as a mere animal Physical well
being does not limit his desire or aspira-
ton He is especially solicitous for the
welfare and advancement Of his children,
and freely depletes limited income in
their education and training for a career
IN life, often upon other than ancestral
lines. This tendency may become excess
I've, and Is already 10 some extent creating
dlstaste FOR useful industry and a desire
for conspicuous position, for accumulation
without labor and speculative rather than
productive occupation. Thus the average
American lives upon a high plane, exciting
the envy and emulation Of people of other
countries and inducing extraordinary i'm
migration.-Piusburg Dispatch.

off people are their best customers. POr-

who has q big bowl OF il in the morning can
