it. = converted into work and in certain
nr nber of hours cooks the food.
My own process consists in taking that
part of the heat which is thrown off from
the chimney of a kerosene oil lamp, or from
the chimney of gas-burner, and conducting
it through hole into a box whose walls are
made of non-heat conducting material. of
sufficient thickness to retain it, this heat is
subject, of course, to continuous renewal
SO long as the lamp or gas-burner is kept
lighted.
In this outer oven, or non-heat conduct
ing case, the inner oven is placed; this is
made of sheet metal tits substantially
tight, but not absolutely. In this inner
metallic oven, the food is set in proper re-
ceptacles, porcelain or earthenware being
preferred to metal pans.
/. 1t seems as if science had been applied to
the economical conversion ofheat into work
at every point except in the domestic
kitchen. When generated by combustion
and applied under the boiler.of modern
marine steam engine the heat locked up in
q cube of coal so small that it will r
through ring the size of quarter of I,
lar, sufices to drive ton of food and its
portion of the steamship two miles on its
way. Compare this economy of fuel with
the waste of the stove. We burn a pound
of coal to every pound of food.cooked upon
the iron stove or range.
In this new oven apound ofliquid fuel in
the form of kerosene oil sufices to cook %
to 80 pounds of bread, meat and vegetables,
and expect to improve upon that as time
goes on.
At first place 1 could hardly convince
myself that the things could be done which
were done every day in my household;
neither could 1, nor my cook, who happened
to be very intelligent woman, quite ready
to adopt improvements, at first comprehend
all that could be done; nor did we find out
for many months that we could adapt the
apparatus to nearly everything that re-
quired quick cooking, as well as to the
slower methods. EDWARD ATKINSON.

With large number Easter is the great

carry to every heart message OF life re-

tainly we'll to let our gifts at Eastertide be

goodly number, but in ecclesiastical mat

differ, and-it may be welIto keep to those
simple forms and those simple colors that
never occasion dispute.
The circle which symbolizes eternal
life, the decorated cross that tells of con-
quered pain,, the crown with its promise OF
glory, the feur-de-lis and the simple tre-
foil, both of whict combine the three in
one and SO bespeak the triune Godhead-
they are each and all assuredly correct and
can offend the taste of none.

SUCCESS,

The stoutest ship may breast the gallo,
And still be driven back.
What though to reach the port she fail,
Shall we declare she could not sail
Because she had to tack?
When storms belate and plaques impede,
When aches and ills betide,
Ambitions goal may not be won
Yet hast thou bravely, nobly done,
II thou hast bravely tried
'sHe nobly does who nobly dares,"
When trials sore oppress.
Whose perseverance naught can shake,
Though failure follows in his wake,
His failure is success.
TIE flercest battles are to fight,
The strongest forts to scale.
Sometimes the bravest heroes fall,
Sometimes the truest lives of all
Are lived by ones who fail

deep corselets are also of this lace, and the
