Ranges When the oven of cooking
stove or range is closed by an old style
oven door. it is surrounded by heat cur
rents. the air in the oven is hot, and is
expanded to such an extent as to become
very dry. Hot dry air has great absorb
ing power, aud whel meat Is placed In
the oven it is baked, not roasted; the
very dry air absorbs large proportion Of
the juices, and as all meats are three
quarters water, you can readily see how
absurd it is to place any article which is
composed of three quarters water, in an
oven that contains hot dry air. They
claim in the oven having a gAuze door
meats are roasted, not baked.

When primitive nYan-hc Of the bone
caverns and paleolithic implements
wished to summon his retainers, he stood
up and howled for them. His descend
ants have sought out many inventions;
they have devised the telegraph, the tcle-
phone, the special delivery, the district
messenger, and q great variety of con-
trivances for making signals, and yet,
when Dives gives a ball and finds 1t
necessary to summon the carriage OF his
guests, in the small hours of the morn
ing, he has no better means of doing so
than were possessed by his historic an
cestor, -. - ~
He sends servant to stand on the side
walk and howl for an hour or two, until
the carriages, which are scattered about
the streets for two or three squares in
every direction, have been called up and
loaded, during which process his neigh
bors, who have not been invited to the
racket, writhe in agony, and call down
maledictions upon the head of Dives his
guests, his retainers, and all their descend
ants, to the fortieth generation, ~
In this way Dives advcrtises himself to
his guests as o. man Of wealth., who can
afford to entertain literally, and to his
neighbors and the public generally as a
man of influence, who can break the
peace with IMMUNITY, and need not fear
the arrest of his servants for making a
disturbance one-tenth Of Which would
land casual rcveller in q dungeon cell
before he had time to begin a second in
.stallment. 1t Is very pleasant for Dives,
but how about his neighbors? In this
land of the free, where every man is theo-
reticallyas good as another, and IN his
own estimation q good deal better, have
they no rights whichever Dives and his
bowling hcnchmen are bound to respect?
Must their rest be broken and their sleep
destroyed that. his servants legs may be

is enjoying himself, while the latter is
not, has nothing to do with the question.
Simple enjoyment is no crime per SO,
though some cross-grained folks would
like to make it so, nor is man justified
in making q nuisance of himself by the
fact that he is working or even doing
