AN ODopLEss WINDOW KITCHEN
Neat Little Invention For House
keeping In Room Without
Convene

A neat little window kitchen is the
Invention of an ingenious woman VINO
was com pelled to do light housekeep-
ing in one room 10 which there were
no modern improvements. After strug-
Cling for some months WITT SINAI |
table and gas stove, sne discovered
that no matter how much care ives ex-
ercfsed, light housekeeping would
leave heavy odors. They were Away s
there to tell the tale after meals had
baen cleared, and the gas stove, pots
and pans had been carefully hidden
away. But che finally hit upon a plan
that makes light housekeeping odor-
less, easy and practical, even II the
keeper has only one mall room. -,
She has little box kitchen built
outside OF he.lower part of her window.
In this there were two shelves, the
lower for gas stove and the upper Tor
q variety of culinary utensils. The
window kitchen is q miniature extern
sion, and can be made out of q strong
pine packing box and attached outside
of almost any ordinary window. IL
must be firmly screwed to the WOOD
work on either side, and the top slant
ed and covered with tar paper. A row
of holes about an inch in diameter
should be bored through each partition
of the miniature kitchen, to insure
ventilation and to carry out the steam
and odors that come from cooking. A
hole must also be bored in the lower
cash OF the window, large enough for
gas tube to pass through, and be con-
nected with the nearest jet. This al
lows the window to be raised with out
interfering with the tube.
In warm weather the upper shelf OF
the window kitchen can be used as
respectable for food to complete the
kitchen arrangements. Inside the
room the inventor had a window seat
built and upholstered. The upholstery
and hsngings could be removed while
the meal was being prepared and the
seat used as table, while the drawers
and compartments and cupbosr6s built
underneath served as q recepi lie for
dishes and table linen. She hung q
neat little pair of curtains from the
middle sash of the window, which
could be moved back aud forth when
the s,ove was in operation.
After the dishes had been washed
and restored to their shelves and cup
boards, the upholstered seat is put
back and the end of the couch piled up
with pillows. The curtains are drawn
and NO one would ever know that
meal has been prepared. The window
kitchen in no way interferes with the
ventilation of the room, as the upper
window can be slid up and down at
will.-Los Angeles Times.

President kruoer's Biblical Quota
lions.

President Kruger, as is well known,
Is fond of backing up his opinions by
Scriptural references. But it is not a
m after of common knowledge that his
honor's quotations from the bible are
often Inaccurate. On this point South
African correspondent of the London
Daily News says: II have often enough
heard him quote passages to prove his
| moi nta hint his quotations hauo haon
misquotations. When | was q boy l
had to learn my bible thoroughly,
so l could tell his errors. Sir Bartle
Frere found him out, too. Did
you never hear the story? When Sir
Bartle Frere came down from Zulu
land, at the time the Transvaal was
British territory, and just before the
breaking out of the rebellion, he and
Kruger hau conference. The men
who were there tell me that at the
beginning Kruger started quoting
Scripture. But Sir Bartle had two
texts ready for every one of his, and,
not content with that. Sir Bartle care
| fully pointed out to him how each one
of his texts was misquoted, and bore
quite different meaning from that he
put on it. Finally, Kruger stopped
altogether, and sat gazing in wonder
at Sir Bartle's apparently amending
stock of verses from the Bible. ~

There are 26O, 900 whites in the So
called Boer republic, but only $4,000
are Beers, says the New York journal.
The Beers declare that they are
merely asking the right to live.
What they really ask is the right OF
six men to tyrannize over ~, OF gu, 0OO
to rule 200, 900, and rule them unjustly.
The Boer attitude is not demand for
freedom. 1t is strictly an attitude OF
denying freedom to others. The Boer
bosses controlled by Kruger maintain
q government by aristOcracy, an aris-
tocracy based on birth-Dutch birth.
If the Dutch who settled this island
had insisted on keeping the island
strictly Dutch; if they had refused sc
any save Protestsnt Dutchmen all
share In the law-making power; II
they had forbidden children In the
public schools to be taught anything
save Dutch. aud miserable bastard
Dutch, they would have acted in Amer
lea precisely as the Beers aae now act
ing in South Africa.
Could they have hoped to maintain
such an attitude? Could civilization,
morality or any form of decency have
Justly upheld them merely on the
ground that power greatly superior
desired to compel the adoption of com
mon sense methods? The appeal is
maQ6 anu SlRucu LIS
s.to save little repu bile from destruc-
ton at the hand of a ruthless empire
Kruger's country is no republic. Kru-
ger has been an absolute ruler there for
II years. All power is in his hands
and that of council of seven. They
can and do ignore the laws and orders
of even the upper house of representa-
tives. The land Of the Beers is no re-
public. 1t is a medieval. bigotry-rid-
den Dutch settlement, as great an an
achronism as any in existence. This
Is the question at issue in the Trans-
vaal.
Can six white men arbitrarily tax 20
white men? Can six white men arbi-
trarily govern 20 white men? Should
a settlement of profoundly ignorant
Dutch Beers be encouraged in the de-
Reimbursement of Jews and OF Catholics
and believers of all other religions than
that which they inherited with their
other pred judices?

A knightly Postmdn.

A certain illustrious signor In Italy
was ga~etting as "Knight OF the
Crowd" but no sooner was the d1stlnc-
ton conferred than the government
discovered that the new knight WAS a
person of dubious character. With the
native skill of the Italian diplomat,
seeing that the distinction could not be
recalled, the government at once
sought for some person of the same
name of the signor. The only person
who qualified was a young postman,
and he is now elevated to the rank OF
knight of the Grown. What mag
nificent and high imperial rat-a-tat-tat
he will deliver.-London Globe.

churia, has surpassed England in the
extent of her domain. The eastern
question, which for more than half
century has been the greatest OF inter-
national problems, is solved at last.
Russia Is in control of the situation
through the building of the great
trans-Siberisn railroad. Within one
year this splendid highway of commun-
ication will be open to commerce. 1t
will be possible to take continuous
railway journey for distance OF more
than ten thousand miles. Russia will
have connected all her vast territories
with a chain of steel. America has
had very large share in the accom-
plishment of this great work.
Commercially the United States
will derive more benefit from the
construction of this railroad than any
other nation except Russia. Three
years ago American manufacturers OF
railway construction material were
without representation in Siberia.
Since then Germans and Englishmen
have been forced virtually to aban-
don the market owing to the immense
superiority of American goods and to
our facilities for producing them In
the shortest possible time. The credit
for effecting this great change is due
to M. Sergey Friede, leading mem
Der of the New York Engineering club,
who, having wide knowledge OF the
cond itions in Siberia, became convinced
that there would be an excel
lent market there for Amer
lean tools and machinery.
He had considerable difficulty at first in
persuading the Russian engineers that
America could supply all sorts OF iron
and steel manufactures cheaper than
England and Germany. British man
ufacturers thought that Russia would
buy in their markets, as formerly, and
believing that there could be no COM
petition they made comparatively lit
tie effort to control the trade. Accord
ing to Mr.. Friede. Russia would have
gone on buying from England indie
fpitely if the advantages OF buying in
the American markets had not been
presented to her. 1t is notable that
up to that time Americas export trade
with Russia had been inconsiderable
and our machinery and tools found
their way there, il at all,
only through Germany. M. Friede went
direct to the large consumers and con-
WINGED them that we could not only
supply better goods at cheaper prices,
but that we could make quicker delive-
ry. We have two ways of reaching ST.
beriau markets, from New York by
way of Suez or from Pacific ports by
way of Japan. The result of less than
three years. work is that America has
driven all competitors in the lines Of
railway construction material, tools,
and machinery, from the field, and
everything from a tack to cantilever
bridge needed in the industrial devel-
opment of the new Siberia
is bought in American markets.
1t is impossible to. estimate the
tremendous effect that the new trans
Siberian railroad will have on COM
merce. America is particularly inter-
ested in the fact that millions OF acres
