KITCHEN NOTES.

A large earthen bowl should always be
used for stirring cake in.
A rug under ones feet is restful when
long standing is necessary, as in ironing,
or in washing dishes.
IF the kitchen table has no casters buy
a set and put them on. It is not diff.
fcult matter and will save q deal OF
strength.
Clocks are too cheap for the tired
housewife to spend her time and strength
in running from the kitchen to some
other room to consult one.
Many vegetables are better for not
having the skin cut before being cooked.
For this reason, as well as ease in cleans
ing, vegetable brush is necessity.
Put little pearline in the greasy pots
and roasting pans, and it will greatly
facilitate cleaning them; especially If
you stand them on the range to heat the
water.
Not only have high stool which per-
mits of your sitting to do many kinds OF
work, but an easy rocker in which you
can do many others, or can rest in an
occasional odd moment
Pieces of pasteboard, with holes an
inch in diameter by which to hang them
on a convenient hook, are excellent for
placing under hot cooking dishes. Or,
lacking this, old wrapping and news
papers answer every purpose.
If the range stands near corner of
the room have two slabs fastened across
the corner, three or four feet apart, for
holding dish towels in rainy weather (for
they should always be hung in the sun
when it shines), stove cloths and the
like.
A twine bag, with a pair of shears
hanging conveniently near, should be
found in every kitchen. So, too, should
q pincushion and small mirror. One can
easily find time to give becoming touch
to their toilet before going to the dining
table that would not be given if COM
PEELED to go to ones chamber or the
bathroom.

front aud end with an inch auger and by
keeping can filled with unslaked lime
on a shelf inside. The holes can be
made IN a geometrical design and detract
in no way from its looks.
If sink reaches to corner of room
bracket shelf fastened at convenient
height in the corner is handy for holding
those numerous time aud distinguishing
materials which the wise worker pro-
vides herself; namely, sapolio, pearline,
borax and vegetable brush. II room is
wanting, screw hooks can be put in the
underside of the shelf to hold the wire
dishcloth, soap-shaker, etc.
Shades aud spring rollers are too
cheap not to be found in every kitchen.
And if they are placed urinches below
the window casing good ventilation can
be secured and the windows darkened at
the same time. Any woman who can
use a hammer aud screw driver can
easily adjust them. 1t is scarcely less
difficult to put up shelf with the iron
brackets which can be purchased for
trifling sum at any hardware store, ana
one back of the stove will save untold
steps. Amerieaa Aqriculturist,

One of the most remarkable OF the re-
cent American manias in the estimation
of the New Orleans Picayuns, is the
desire for and practice of building inor-
binary lofty houses for business and
residence purposes. This style OF archi-
lecture on stills has been induiged in to
great excess in New York, and is now
raging as an epidemic in Chicago and
other Western cities. Houses from ten
to twenty stories high have come into
fashion, and there appear to be no limits
to the vagaries encouraged by architects
and engineers. In Europe there are no
lofty buildings, except towers and spires
attached to churches. People do not re-
side in tenth and twentieth stories and
seem to have no taste for such high living,
but here in q country where land is
abundant, sky scarping structures are IN
great demand. We note that house is
to be built in Chicago 200 feet high,
while houses of 100 feet are common in
all the cities. In ancient Rome there was
a law forbidding the building of houses
to greater height than eighty feet, and
it does not appear that any such height
was common. Does it never occur
to the architects who plan these lofty
piles that one day the earthquake will
shake them to ruins2 The United States
cannot claim any immunity from such
commissions. Earthquakes are common
in California. The earthquake at New
Madrid, Me-, early in the century, was a
formidable one, making extraordinary
changes in the topography of large
area of country. The earthquake at
Charleston, S. c., is SO fresh III memory
,ha. it is not by any means to be ignored.
1t would appear that earthquake periods
come in cycles. There is no reason to
suppose that New York and Chicago are
any more secure than are Charleston or
Gan francisco.

TOTAL ABSTINENCE LEAeuEs.

The Massachusetts, Total Abstinence So
ciety has inagurated plan of work looking
every city and town in the State The plan
of work embraces the following depart
ments: Public meetings, work among chill
dren, circulation of the total abstinence
plege among adults, the distribution of tenn
perance and no-icense literature securing a
large no-license vote in all the cities and
towns and the enforcement Of existing laws.
The membership will consist of residents of
cities and towns over eighteen years OF age
The constitution is flexible and adapted TO
every locality. The necessity of such or
CARNATIONS is apparent when one realizes
that less than ten per cent of the population
under forty years is pledged to total abstin-
ence. The society invites all classes of tenn
perance workers to cooperate with this
effort to establish local societies.

DRINK AND THE NATIVE RACES.

A member of Naval Lodge of Good Tenn
plas, on board of one of the British naval
vessels on the west coast of Africa, in let
ter read at the late anniversary meeting of
the Drink and Native Races Association,
writes:
We are out here on the spot and can see
for ourselves the immense evils arising from
this devilish traffic. In the steamers which
brought us out to the Cape of Good Hope to
join our ships were two missionaries with
cases of Bibles, ETC., to bring the glad It'd.
ings of great joy unto the poor benighted
heathens. and down in the hold of the same
vessel were 2100 gallons of Holland gin and
1900 gallons of rum intended for the self
Same heathens. Now, my brothers and
sisters, please ask yourselves, What
good is it sending our missionaries to
enlighten the negro when we allow the
devil and his agents to send out that which
utterly destroys the good they may be en-
abled TO do? We seanen, although, as it
do anything IN this matter except to urge
the poor blacks to abstain from the drink;
but when we speak to them on the subject,
they tell us, "White man bring it. white
man drink it and the black man drink IT."
And black man does drink it and diesin con-
sequence. One of the objects for which our
ship is stationed here. is the suppression Of
the slave trade but the ships of all sorts that
pass in and out of the rivers have on board
that which binds the negroes with worse
chains than those which Wilberforce broke
asunder, which holds them in stronger
bonds than Abraham Lincoln united in
America, and which binds them in slavery

damning than any for which the brave men
