THE UP-TO-DATE KITCHEN.
Perfect ventilation Is Said to BE the
First Consideration.

Perfect ventilation Is Said to Be til.
First Consideration.
Perfect ventilation, says an architec!
who is an authority On kitchens, is the
first consideration in such n room. Mex:
come light and the possibilities of per-
feet cleanliness. To get these in a
crowded city block half buried in the
ground is, of all things, the most diff.
cult. Something has been said of the
movement upward in private houses b.
reason of the introduction of elevators.
One of the most significant indications
is seen in the elevation of the kitchen.
In the house of Il New York physi.
clan all the household offices are on the
top floor. The servants bedrooms are
in front. Midway is the laundry, with
tile floor, the servants sitting-room.
and opening into the kitchen. One may
well envy the cook her private do
minion. The kitchen is a noble room.
with windows that catch the first rays
of morning sun and the last rays of his
benign majesty in the west. The view
is fine for a hemmed in city house. The
practical mind discovers other advaI,-
tages in the saving OF gas bills-there is
ever an hour of daylight more herr
than the basement kitchen receives.
There is also 4 considerable saving OF
time, as the ragman and the peddlers
of wares soon discover that there is
neither pleasure nor profit in the area.
The kitchens in some of the apartment
houses are beautiful indeed. These are
small, but calculated to n nicely. Il
fact, except when there is n large staff
of servants, it is a mistake to have Il
large kitchen. 1t wastes time and takes
the strength of the cook to cover more
space than is necessary. As thesc
kitchens are placed in the least desir-
able parts of the house, every care is
taken to give them all the light and air
possible. The floors are tiled. The
walls are covered with white enameled
tiles, something made Gayer with tiles
OF pink and blue. The sinks are por-
celain lined, and the faucets silver
plated. The cupboards and dressers
are in light natural woods, and the glass
%unspOtted. The cook feels that she is
a precious thing incIosed in n jewel box,
and one may hope she strives to live up
70 the situation.-N. Y. Journal

and revers of ch:nchilla or otter, with
vest of Persian bracade, finished down
the immediate front with a jabot of

Some of the new English serge or
broad diagonal costumes have tucked

others show the waist and skirt deco

Cloth skating costumes braided,

highly fashionable. The combination
of fawn-colOred cloth, pink silk and
lines of narrow brown fur forms a
very chic costume just completed.
The skirt, bordered with the fur. opens
up either side of the front, showing the
pink silk facing. The opening is
braided beyond the fur in brown and
gold. The revers and cape collar OF the
jacket are braided and fur-edged to
match, and a sable boa and n bunch of
violets complete the costume.

PERSONAL AND LITERARY.

Lord Tennyson is going to publish
IN his life of his father q juvenile tala
called "Mungo, the American" writ
ten BY Alfred Tennyson at the ago
of Il.
Years ago Albert Wolff and Henri
Rochefort were the two foremost art
critics of Paris. The latter has recent
p resumed his work, and his c~ritiques
appear in Figaro, the journal on which
he won his spurs.
A most impressive monument will
be that OF Victor Hugo, to be erected in
the Paris place that bears his name.
The pedestal will consist of a huge
rock roughly hewn out in the form OF
the Isle of Guernsey.
Alexandra Dumas death makes the
nuJuber of vacant seats in the French
academy four, the others being those
of Ferdinand de Lesseps, Pasteur and
Camille Doucet. The prospect of the
places being filed with unknown medi-
ocreties is so great that Alphonse Dau-
Diet is being publicly urged TO make up
his differences with the academy ans
become a candidate, and even lola may
stand some chance.
M. Golowin is about to publish q
book concerning the late Prince Alex
ander of Battenberg, whose confidant
he was. The author confirms the state
ment that n marriage was at one time
contemplated between the prince and
a daughter of the late Emperor Fred
erick of Germany, but it was opposed
by Prince Bismarck, who, it is said,
was afraid to endanger the good under
standing between his country and Rus
sia.
There is much regret at the fact
that the late Alexandra Dumas ordered
in hiswill that all his unpublished man
uscripts should be destroyed. Among
them were two comedies, one of which
had been read to friends and was o
nouncedbythema masterpiece. Dumas
found more and more difficulty as he
grew older in pleasing himself with his
work.
~-Stowaways usually receive scant
courtesy from the indignant officers of
the ships on which they steal passage,
and usually, too, scant rations and
plenty of work, with a prospect of Jail
at the end of the trip. A stowaway on
n of the Pacific steamers, however, on
a recent trip from Yokohama to Ia
coma, received not only the best of
treatment, but a substantial present of
money when he left the ship. The YES
sci encountered n very heavy storm on
the voyage. and the stowaway, who was
working about the deck. distinguished
himself by great bravery at II of the
most perilous moments during the
gale. The officers made up a purse of
$50 for him to help him on his journey
after he left tine ship.

faring effect is still considered the
height of style on all fashionable

popular, the full pulled sleeves in varied
forms and effects above mentioned rules

its introduction.

The name of the Swiss is generally
identified with the long pike of the
the 1S-foot shaft; and most gallant
attempts have been made by recent
writer's to prove that this celebrated
weapon was a Swiss invention and EN-
ployed by the confederates from the
first. The point, however, is one that
must remain uncertain, for the earli-
est mention of the long pike is found
in an order addressed in 1921 by Count
Philip of Savoy TO the burghers oil
Turin, and 40 one can tell whether the
Savoyards borrowed it from the Swiss
or the Swiss from the Savoyards. The
primitive weapons of all infantry seem
TO be the ~spearand shield The Milanese
fought with such spears, or pixies,
eight or ten feet in length, at Legnano,
the Scotch at Falkir, and the Flem-
ings at Courtrai; so that it is impos-
sible to predict of any one nation that
it added the requisite number OF feet
to the weapons shaft in order to make
a long pike. There is nc mention Of
pixies in the battles of the Swiss until
Sempach. and it is probable that in
that action they were not al 1ve ten

In line or language there is no other
Word that tells so clear a story
OF life and love and living glory,
Like that sweet word,
So often heard,
And yet so little known,
Until into our soul-life grown,
As that which names the precious one,
Who only knows her duty done,
When she has folded to her breast
Her offspring for a longed-for rest:
She, who has fought the prize to win,
For a noble life and an entering in
Through the gates Of Heaven.
By promise given,
OF yielded life for life. of love for love,
Fol bringing blessings from above.
Lifting her offerings up on high,
Ready for them to do and die:
And this brief verse
Would fain rehearse
The virtues and the modest worth
OF the dearest one in all the earth,
Mother.
