AIDS TO HOUSEKEEPING.
Handy Appliances Which Our Grand
mothers Had to Do Without

There is something so marvellous in
the way life is made agreeable to us i'll
household matters, in comparison with
the way our grandmothers had to take
their duties, that one feels as if it were
really intended to help out great ends,
says Harper'S Bazaar. Not to speak Of
the obsolete arts of spinning and Weav-
ing at home, of the Cheese-making, the
sausagemaking, the trying out of lard
stringing of apples to dry, the prepare
ton of savory herbs, and all that fol-
lowed in such train and made the
housewives life a long labor, which
have been taken from the household
and given into the hands of associated
labor outside the gateS-not to speak
of these, in yet other things has the
most miraculous manner, things of
which we never dreamed of complain
ing. There are the various grains, for
hours boiling, and then were not es-
pecfa1ly palatable. Now they are pre-
pared in most appetZing fashion and
already more than two-thirds cooked,
so that a few minutes over the fire
finds breakfast dish ready that is fit
not, let us say. for gods, but for men.
Then who does not know the conster-
nation of the housekeeper of old, with
a heart set on some elegance, who saw
company at the door and knew she had
no soup for dinner? Now dozen firms
stand ready to obviate any such calam
ity with their soups Of every descrip-
ton, needing only two or three minutes
ON the range. While as for the other
and vegetables and jellies, they are
only limited to the number Of things
to be canned, and they give one a
midsllmmers dinner in midwinter, ana
save the housekeeper, anxious to vary
her table, from a world of anxiety.
The housekeeper in the south, too, has
reason to be grateful for the way in
which she can now procure that once
unprocurable luxury of ice; and she,
more than any other, can thank the in
ventor of the gas stove, of the oil and
spirit arrangements for cookery, where
nothing is heated but the food, not
even the cooks temper, and where all
the gases and odors of cookery that
once filled the house and surrounded it
with a mephitic oder that might warn
off strangers, like the black atmosphere
surrounding enchanted castles in fable
land, are burned with the gas or the
oil. Perhaps, after all, this is the
greatest application Of science to COM
fort that has been made.

WOMEN IN FINLAND.
A Few Items of Interest Concerning
Them

l was chatting Il few days ago with
4 lady who had been making Il short
stay in Finland, and she told me sew
eral very interesting facts about wo-
men over there. They seem. from her
account, TO do il good part of the
work OF the community. Amongst the
lower classes they drive the market
carts, sweep the streets, mend the roads
and row the boats. They do not, how
ever, with a few exceptions, serve be-
hind the counter. OF course, l ex-
pressed my establishment, which was
increased rather than diminished when
my informant said that men were pre-
ferred because they were thought
more civil. This fact is all the stranger
because the women as well as the men
are remarkable for their evennesS of
temper. Little mishaps do not seem to
cause the irritation which they do
here, and the children grow up hap
PLY free from slips, shakings and cuff
ings. Amongst the better class of
as they do in the lower. In the banks
there are far more women than men
clerks. The same thing is noticeable
in the bureaux de change. In the post
office and in state offices women are
in the majority. Women teach trades
to the cripples and to the blind, and
industrial arts to the little boys and
girls who attend schools established fol
that purpose. They are splendid lin
gusts, partly because they have bu
scant and limited literature of theil
own, and also because their own Ian
guage is no use to them when they
travel, SO that they are bound to lear1
another. I should not care about Fin
land fashions, however. A black sill
dress is the orthodox garment for ole
and young, and is worn alike at a coffee
party or a wedding, no dainty orna
ments being allowed

THE MODERN WOMAN.

1t may be bit diSreSpectful on our
part, but we can never listen in silence
to the man who quotes continually of
the differences between the woman of
today and these of that period when he
was a boy-always, of course, with the
balance in favor of the latter. He
prates of the manner in which his
mother discharged her manifold do
nestle duties without the aid of any
other servant than a WaSherWOman.
who once a week came in and spent
half a day over the tubs.
He tells of the fine cookery and the
great amount of sewing accomplished
by this model woman, but he forgets
to add that her social eXactions We're
of the most meager descriptions; that
her life was simple and uneventful,
and that what she did in her home
served to combine both work and pleas
ure in its limited confines.
He forgets to add that the house
that she presided over consisted of a
few rooms spread out on one or at
the most two floors and that the awful
stairs of the houses of today We're
unknown horrors in her time. He never
PIRATES much of her literary ability,
but always Of her capacity for drudg-
cry.
Now if the woman of today and this
shadowy by-gone ideal of his were set
side by side it is safe to say that he
would undoubtedly choose the one
whom he so continually reviles. Our
girls can cook, and cook well, too.
They can manage their houses with
consummate skill, but it is not neces-
sary that because of that they should
not be leaders in society or deep think
ers whose progressive mentality car
ries them beyond the limits of the
kitchen or the nursery. They are just
as lovely household divinities though
they may have a few ideas outside
Of the children's clothes or the semi
annual house cleaning. The women
of today are as far superior to those
Of a quarter of a century ago as is the
Iowa County democrat. [volume] (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1877-1938, 1893-07-21

A Photographer got there with the
first rays Of the morning sun and pre-
pared to take pictures for some illus
trated journal He got his instrument
set up, focused and all ready and
was about to letter go, when the fore
man of the wrecking crew deliberately
held a shovel before the lens and spoil
ed the exposure. The photographer,
an old hand. fully acquainted with
the policy Of the railroad companies
to prevent the photographing Of
wrecks. If possible, tried it again. He
got back Il trifle on higher ground.
but when all was ready again, he found
line OF men holding rubber coats on
poles, obscuring the view Of the wreck.
Ills third attempt met with q move
ment of the railroaders to smash his
camera and he hastily retreated to a
neighboring fence. All this time a mid
dae-aged, determined looking farmer
leaned over his fence. within fifty yards
Of the broken bridge. an interested
spectator of the proceedings. To him
the photographer went and asked the
privilege of taking the picture from
MS land, promising copy to him Of
the picture made. That was agreeable
to the farmer and the camera was
soon in position again, but again the
rubber coats went up and stopped
the business. Then the farmer deter
mined to have a picture if it cost
farm. Sending his man to the barn.
he directed him to hitch up a wagon
and after fastening high step ladder
into it, he drove down to the fence
corner, took the photographer aboard
and in a few minutes the latter had
secured several good exposures of the
entire wreck. The coats could not be
raised high enough that time, but the
whole wrecking crew made for the
wagon, determined to wreck that ca
mera. But the farmer with a few
words gathered dozen or so of stout
farm hands about him and armed with
clubs they got aboard the wagon, sur
rounded the photographer and camera
and standing off the wrecking crew,
drove off the field safe and in triumph"

PASS JANE"

Senator Stanford once had in his EN-
ploy an old servant named Jane Wall
ace. After being with his family n.
number of years she had saved some
money and went back to her old home
i'm New York. But the climate did not
agree with her, says a San Francisco
paper. The doctors told her that il she
came back to California she would get
well. SO she wrote to her old employer
and asked him to furnish her with
transportation. Without thinking much
about it, but ready to oblige his old
servant, he wrote on n sheet of note
paper: "Please pass Jane from New
York to San Francisco" signed it, and
sent it to her.
Jane never stopped to think of the
peculiar form of the pass or that it
might not be recognized by some of the
railways over which she was to travel.
She knew that her old master owned
two or three railroads, and she had am
idea that he owned one all the way to,
New York. So she just got on the train
and when the conductor came around
handed out the slip of paper He look
ed at it, then at her, and didn't know
what to do There was Leland Stan
ford's signature, and he didn't like to
dishonor that. So he telegraphed for
instructions, and his superio.s told u
to send the woman right through and
she came. But the incident is frequent
iy talked about by railroad men even
now and Iauphad at as an iIluStra tion
Of the "old mans" observation-disclosures.

Rural New Yorker: When DR.. Bah
cock of Wisconsin experiment station
invented his own famous milk tester,
he started a revolution in the milk
business. Milk became virtually a
new article in trade circles. Previously
we bought it because we wanted milk.
We knew there was a difference in
quality between different samples, but
there was no practical method Of de-
termining why and to what extent
one sample was better than another.
Along came the Babcock tester and
put in our hands the power to take
the fat from the milk and measure it
for its fat and all the men who
had been handling and paying for 1t
by weight saw somebody had made a
fortune by receiving fat prices for
water. The advantage of bringing the
milk trade down to the principles of
an exact science was evident to any
thoughtful man. and it is no wonder
that the practice of ''Babcocking milk

Babcock gave his invention free to
the public, and by so doing helped the
dairy interests Of the country more
than all the experiment stations in the
nation have cost. It is singular that
in England the tester has been patented
and sold as the Lster-Babcock. If more
men were endowed with the generous
spirit of Prof. Babcock, there would
be fewer mOnopolies and millionaires
and more happiness.
Sometimes when we state the low
average production Of the average COW,
we meet the inquiry how we arrive at
the figures. The editor of this paper
once took the average of 10000 COWS
employed in cheese factory work. for
one year, and found that they produced
only about $500 pounds of milk apiece.
Exhaustive statistics have been taken
in New York, which show only about
5000 pounds per COW. Prof. James
Wilson of the Iowa experiment station,
stated last winter in an address, that
averages of all the COWS in an Iowa
dairy county, where milk was sold
to its factories, showed that the lowest
COW made Ill pounds of butter in a
year; the highest, BOG; the average of
all cows, 125. This is, perhaps, an
average of western cows.
We agree with Prof. Wilson in the
saying that improved feeding would
bring up the average very greatly with
out any attention being paid to breed
ing. With average milk 125 pounds of
butter is the product of 5000 pounds
of milk. This is not enough to pay for
the yearly keep of an average Wiscon-
sin COW.
Ella B. Cuttings in Our Dumb Ami
mails: LAS stupid as a pig" 1 heard
4 little boy say the other day. He
was wrong. Pigs are very intelligent.
Here is a story a lady told me Of her
pet pig:
I'VE had a little black and white
pig which the children had taken from
its mother quite young and brought up
by hand as we say 1t was a very
tame, and would follow the children
like a cat or dog. 1t was fond of slip
ping into the sitting room and lying
on the rug in front of the fireplace.
L kept a willow switch standing in
the corner by the fire, with which 1
switched piggy quite smartly when
ever l found him on the rug. One day
l saw him enter the room and trot
toward the rug, but before lying down
he looked in the corner where the
switch was kept and seeing it in it's
usual place began to squeal at the top
of his voice, and turned and ran swiftly
from the room. / removed the switch
from it's place, and the next time pig
gy entered I watched to see what he
would do. He looked in the corner as
before, and seeing no switch there, lay
own upon the rug with a contented
grunt, and shut his eyes for COM
Portable nap.
HE knew where the corn was kept
for his food, and when hungry, if he
found his trough empty, he would
catch one of the boys by fastening his
teeth into his trousers leg and pull
him toward the corn bin; nor could he
be persuaded to loosen his hold until
his trough was properly filed"
