Cooking by Ele ectricity.

The greatest novelty in cooking ap-
pliances at the Fair is unquestionably
ihe apparatus for cooking by electric
ty, shown in operation in the gallery
Of the Electricity Building. The
electric current is conducted into
plates of enamel, where it meets with
resistance and is converted into heat.
These plates are attached to specially
constructed ovens, broilers, griddles,
aatirons, etc. An ordinary stewpan,
coffee or tea pot, or steam cooker may
heated on the 'disk heater" An out
fit of articles necessary for private
house costs $50, or $77.50 if II heater
for n kitchen boiler is included Elec-
tricity has the same advantages over
coal that gas has; it's advantages over
gas depend upon the fact that com
bustion, with itsneeds and limitations,
is wholly done away with. There are
no products of complete or accidentally
imperfect combustion, there is not
even n slight loss of heat into the
room or up the hue. The strongest
points of electrical cooking are com
fort and convenience, but claims are
| made for it also on the score of econ
omy. 1t is said that the cost of cook
ing by electricity is less than the cost
with coal and about the same as where
fuel-eas is used. This is on the sup
position that the electricity is fur
nished at half the price charged fo
lighting. Popular Science Monthly

THE FARMERS THANKSGIVING.

The earth Is brown and tho skies are gray,
And the windy woods are bare,
And the first white flakes of the coming snow
Are anoat in the frosty air
But the sparks Hy up from tho hickory log.
And tho homestead's broad stone hearth,
And the windows shake and the rafters ring
To tho lads and tho lasses' mirth.
The farmers face is furrowed and worn,
And his locks are thin and white,
But his hand is firm and his voice is clean.
And his eye is blue and bright
AS he turns TO look at his sweet old wife,
Who sits In tho gown of gray,
With cobweb kerchief and creamy frills
She wore on her wedding day.
lie bows his head to the laden board,
And his guests they are silent all
Thanksgiving, Lord, for the rain and sun,
And the fruit on the orchard wall,
For the silver wheat and tho golden corn,
And the star of a toilsome life,
The greatest blessing that Thou canst give
true and loving wifem
This whitc-haircd lover he bends to kiss
Her hand in its frill OF lace,
And the faded rose on her wrinkled check.
with proud and courtly grace.
And the snowhakes click on the window
pane.
And the raftcrs ring above,
And angels carol tho farmers thanks
AS they mount to the Gates of Love.

The Ethics of WEAKNESS.

In lecture at Cambridge, England,
on the subject of "Weariness," Pro-
fessor Michael Foster said undue ex-
ertion was exertion in which the mus.
cles worked too fast for the rest of the
body. The hunted hare died not be-
cause he was choked for want of breath,
not because his heart stood still, It's
store of energy having given out, but
because poisoned blood poisoned his
brain and his whole body. So also the
schoolboy, urged by pride to go on
running beyond the earlier symptoms
of distress, struggled on until the
heaped mp poison deadened his brain,
and he fell dazed and giddy, as in a
fit, rising again, it might be, and
stumbling on unconscious, or half un-
conscious only, by mere mechanical
inertia of his nervous system, falling
once more, poisoned by poisons of his
own making. All our knowledge went
to show that tho work of the brain,
like the work of the muscles, was ac-
companied by a chemical change, and

Cashmere Shawls,

One day We won't I'd town to visit d
manufaotory OF Cashmere shawls. After
q terribly unattractive approach, we
again clambered up some stairs and
emerged into large room, full OF
looms, with about forty men all hard
at work. One we especially watched.
He had IN front Of him neatly d thou;
sand shuttles Of different shades; and
out Of these he would select one
and thread it through as MANY Of the
fine strands stretched tightly before
him as his pattern directed, and after
sd doing he pulled toward him heavy
bar, which pushed the last little cross
thread quite tight, before putting III
the next.
In old days one man used to read
out the pattern to all the rest, but
now each has his own design on slip
of paper in front of him. 1t is said
that tho wavy life, sd often seen in
these shawls, was originally taken
from the curves of the Jhelum. 1t
took four months, we were told, for
two men to do seven inches of this
work, one yard wide, working from
in the morning till s in the evening
every day, so 1T was hardly to be
wondered at that two yards should
cost nearly $500.
As we left the workroom, 50 glad to
exchange its heated atmosphere for
cooler breath of air, it was impossible
to check the obvious thought of the
contrast such lives are to our own.
We mingled with the gayly-dressed
crowd gathered to see a polo tourna-
ment, and our thoughts strayed back
to that sitting room, with it's ceaseless
monotony and perpetual grind, where
men, more like machines, wove hour
after hour varying hues of color into
one harmonious whole. And yet the
old simile would also assert itself,
that we too, in one sense, are hour by
hour working in the tiny threads that
go to make up tho pattern and color
Of our lives Tho whole design, how.
ever, does not lie open before us, but
is mercifully withheld by an all-wise

look of JOY upon her face was changed
to one of wcnderment, and she stood,
her head bent slightly forward, that
she might the better see, perploxins

The company had come as near to

joined it on the west, and there they
halted, and the maiden sa@ that one
