KITCHEN GARBAGE.
A Simple and Inexpensive Manner of Dis
posing of All Kitchen Waste

Tho disposal Of household garbare with.
out extra cost is o problem that has long
awaited o sanitary solution. For several
years efforts have been made in this diroc
ton in tho introduction Of various attach
ments to stoves and ranges, designed to
take care of such refuse, but have met
with little or no success. A now inyen-
ton that has been Endorsed by sanitary
authorities and physicians aud bearing, the
nume garbage carbonzcr" affords q
clearly and convenient way of getting rid
of all household waste except ashes. The
carbonizor is placed in the stovepipe be-
tween the stove and the nue OF the chin
ney, and becomes II permanent fixture on
tho range. 1t consists OF horizontal owl
indor, one end of which is removable, ana
attached thereto ON the inside Is q pan, or
scoop, perforated along both sides and
having solid ends and tight bottom. The
pan is sufficiently smaller in diameter than
the cylinder to admit OF its being easily
Withdrawn and to give u free passage to the
smoke and heat from tho stove, around it
and through the perforated sides.
When it is desired TO use the oarbonizer,
the pan is withdrawn, tho refuse matter
placed in 1t and the pan returned to tho
cylinder. Tho heat from the fire, coming
in contact with tho carbonizer and the
garbage in it, quickly turns the garbage
into charcoal without any attention being
given to it and without any odor Tho
carbonized waste, in form OF charcoal, may
be utilized as fuel, the same as any char
coal.
Tho convenient location Of the carbon
izer allows all waste to be put into it MS
fnst rs produced, SO the accumulation of
garbage is obviated. These carbonizers
are made in several forms to meet various
requirements.

ARMENIA CENTURIES AGO.
Marco Polo's Description of the Country
md Its People.

This is q great country 1t begins at q
city called Arzinga, at which they weave
the best buckrams in the world. 1t pos
scsses also tho best baths from natural
springs that arc anywhere TO be found.
Tho people Of tho country are Armenians
and are subject to the Tartar
Tho country is, indeed, passing great
one, and in the summer it is frequented by
the whole host OF the Tartars of the Le-
want, because it then furnishes them with
such excellent pasture for their cattle. But
in winter the cold is past all bounds, so in
that season they quit this county and go
to warmer region, where they find other
good pastures. Alta castle called Paipurth,
that you pass in going from Trebizond to
Tauris, there is u very good silver mine.
And you. must know that it is in this
country of Herneni;s that the ark of Noah
exists on the top OF a certain great noun
tain, on the summit OF which snow is so
constant that no one can ascend, for the
snow never melts and is constantly added
to by now falls. Below, however, the snow
does melt and runs down, producing such
rich and abundant hcrbag that in summer
cattle arc sent to pasture from a long way
round about, and it never fails them. The
melting snow also causes great amount
OF mud on tho mountain.
The country is bounded on the south by
kingdom called Mosul, the people of
which are Jacobitc and HISTORIAN Chris
tians.
On the north it is bounded by the land
of the Georgians. On the confines from
Georgiania there is fountain from which
oil springs in great abundance, insomuch
that 100 shiploads might be taken from it
at one time This oilir not good to use with
food, but it is good 'Ggas .rn and is also used
to anoint camels thai nave the mango Peo
pie come from vast distances to fetch it,
for in all the countries round about they
have no other oil.-"The Story of Marco
