The plan of building houses with
kitchens at the top, however advan-
tageous It maybe in keeping unsavory
doors from the rest of the house, is
not likely to become general in Wash
ington-
When the Metropolitan club was
built some six or eight years ago, it
was the first building in town OF any
size to have the top floor given over to
the uses of kitchen At the time the
subject was discussed pro and con. and
many prophesied that the new idea
would be generally followed.
Time has proved the fallacy of those
predictions, as the buildings which
have since been constructed on q SINH
lar plan are few and far between.
while in private houses there are no
kitchens on the top floor, except in the
handsome brown-stone residence
erected by ex-senator Palmer.
Last winter the property was leased
by secretary and Mrs. Elkins, who.
though otherwise pleased with tho
pleasant sunny house. experienced no
end of trouble because the kitchens
are on the top floor.
The servants object, as they are cut
off from all intercourse with their
friends, who remain away rather than
mount so many flights of stairs.
At the Metropolitan club the cooks.
with their white caps and aprons, pre-
sent q most attractive appearance dur
ing warm afternoons, when assembled
for a chat in the balconies under the
caves.
Whatever may be said for or against
kitchens in that portion Of the house,
they will certainly never be popular
with the majority of servants who do
not relish the opportunity thus afford
ed for looking down on humanity in

INNOCENT HENRY.

A very good and pious man recently
bought rough piece of ground and
proposed to do some farming. There
was skinny little stream on the

into reservoir. SO he sent his hired
man to investigate. Several hours
later the hired man appeared in the

fine crow that kept in a cage outside

this bird, for it seemed to have good

Then l began to wonder. First /
thought that someone had played
trick on me-had stolen my crow and
left me a rat. 1 noticed though, with
what ease the door slipped up and
down, and then 1 thought that per-
haps the rat had nosed it up, and going
in had eaten my crow. With me the
crow was safe, for 1 never had any po-
litical aspirations that might be
blighted. Then thought of my crows
game propensities and l argued that it
was trick. Shortly afterward
neighbor of mine brought my crow
home. 1t had been flying about in an

The Ottumwa Courier has no pa
thence with Bishop Merrill's threat
ened boycott of the Worlds fair. 1t
SAWS: I'm other words Bishop Mer-
rill and his ministerial associates,
who by reason of ample salaries and
the advantages of travel and educa-
ton, together with ready and daily
access to libraries, museums and the
great art galleries do not begin to
need the educational advantages of
the exposition as do the vast MAORI
ty of the people, will deliberately
throw the influence of a declared re-
ligious zeal and martyrdom about an
effort to keep millions of people from
attending the greatest exhibition
that has ever been brought to-
pether Upon the face of the earth.
If Bishop Merrill and
his ministerial companions persist
in issuing their fanatical manifesto,
it will be calamity to orthodox
Christianity. 1t will indeed be a
blow to all true religion" The good
bishop. the Courier might also have
said. evidently goes on the theory
that two wrongs make one right in
urging the application of practices,
which at one time constituted
crime on the statute books of Hi
nois, as vindictive policy in the
face of course approved by law.
The bishop should concede to people
the right to think differently from
him on questions of religious pro-
priety, as well as in the matter OF
creed. And. by the way, while the
bishop is asking his church people to
stay away from the fair. has he de-
MED himself that pleasure?

AMONG the democrats who stand
around the Washington hotels and
look and long and dream of fat-sal-
aried sinecures that never come there
is criticism of every department OF
the administration save one. That
department is the department of the
treasury. They love Mr.. Carlisle for
corpses he has made. The merry
whirr of the AK in the vast building
is music to them. They buoy them
selves with the belief that the splen-
did Carlislean example must in time

The Artfulness OF the Ant.

Like many other insects, the ant is
very fond of sugar, to obtain which it
employs skill that is almost incredi-
BILE. An observer thought he had pro-
tected his sugar basin from the atten-
lions of a number of ants by placing it
in the center OF the vessel full of
water. To his amazement. however,
he found that they got at the sugar by
climbing up the wall of. the room to
the part of the ceiling that was just
over the basin. From this spot they
allowed themselves to fall among the
sugar Several that were carried by
the draught past the bowl fell into the
surrounding water, and would all
have been drowned but for their
mates, who succeeded in rescuing
them The truth of this singular
occurrence is vouched for by the wit
