over the stove and about half way up
the wall is a canopy, shaped ike the
stove at the bottom, but gradually mar
rowing to the top at the front ami side
until it is almost tunnel shaped, where
it joins the chimney, is an opening INTO
the chimney, about the size OF very
small stovepipe. There is always a

For boiling, "A few bits Of cane are pat
in the square or CRATE over which me

the canes, a light is applied and, II you
/ are in a hurry, over the hole IS put a Gu
rious contrivance very like a stoveplpe
perhaps two feet high, with funnel al
/ the TOP. a contrivance that is expressively
known in italian as Ill diavoloI possibly
because it starts the fire in such mar
velonsly short time.
If the articles to be boiled are vegeta
bles. the kettle is placed directly oYei

the shelf above. IT, however, some
thing more delicate is to be cooked

over the crate and the boiler is placed OF

circle of coSlls is put on the outside o.
the stove about the boiler, which l.
tightly covered. It takes from twenty
minutes to half an hour to cook thi'
way, and everything cooked is cooke'
all over.
For baking, the preliminary prepara
tions are the same, but the dish hold
ing the mixture is placed in an Quite
dish of block tin, and over it is put tina
wonderful magician, the "forno d
campagna," that locks like peck o

size, made of sheet iron and inverted
There is an opening at one side, n
! which slips the handle of the baking I'll

stove.
Under the dish that contains the ma
terial to be baked is the charcoal fire i
the CRATE; about it glowing Goals are pu
and replenished before the glow dies oui
and on top of the "forno" more glowin
Goals are placed and treated in the sam
way. Everywhere there is an equal dli
fusion of heat. Mince pies, sponge cake
custards, bread and turkeys are browne
perfectly. The "forno" wasn't invente
by an Italian, but by Frenchman, an
it would be quite possible to use it wit
our charcoal stoves.-New York Sun
