ever IL Has Been Given q
Thorough Trial.

Electricity Is making its way into the
kitchen through the parlor and dining
room, says the Cosmopolitan. For some
time Il has been used for the heating
of the five-o'clock tea kettle. eliminat-

tea kettle, coffee pot or chatting dish
may be adjusted to the nearest lamp in
a house wired for electric lighting.
The experienced cook knows that
there are dishes which are never seen in
their perfection ten feet from the fire
that cooked them. People who have
passed their youth in the country grow
peeyish over the way years have
deteriorated the flavor OF some simple
early favorite of the table. Electrical
appliances have done something TO
bring back the old conditions. Griddle
cakes baked on a steel griddle, electric
ally heated TO the exact temperature,
lightly brushed with oil, are a crisp de-
light as they are Tipped from griddle to
plate. But while this appliance can be
used with the Illuminating current, il
requires an extra attachment, as that
current Is too weak. This is generally
put in at the leg of the dining-table.
Up TO this time electricity has been
used almost exclusively by the woman
who makes fad OF experimental cook
ing, and she has her electric kitchen
fitted up like small laboratory, far
from the domain of the family cuisine.
The whole paraphernalia rsight fit
into a tiled closet almost anywhere, so
hooded and ventilated that no odor es-
capes into the surrounding rooms. In
one of the apartment houses in New
York dainty little electric kitchens have
been fitted up where the tenants have
asked for them, although the apart
ments were not designed for house
keeping originally.

A FINANCIAL EXPERT.

Discomfiture.

There is gentleman in Chicago-and the
boom OF cannon fired in front OF the
Times Herald Office would easily carry to
him as he sits at his desk-who has made a
study of economics and who writes financial
editorials.
A few weeks ago the managing editor took
a vacation and the financial expert was left
in general charge OF the paper One morn
ing recently he received a letter from the
managing editor, who wrote:
II am stranded over here in Canada /
have been buying a lot OF stuff that may be
useful 10 me some time, and need $50. Will
you please send me draft for the sum
named."
OF course he would. II would be a pleas.
ure TO accommodate the managing editor.
So the great financial expert hurried over
20 the First national bank, in which he kept
his account, and asked for draft for $50 to
send 10 his friend. The bank officer gave
him paper TO sign, and after giving direc-
tions where to send the draft the writer re-
turned TO his desk.
Two or three uneventful days passed, and
there came another letter from the managing
editor

And so il was that college-bred Anne
liza Judson became a sawmiller in the
heart of the Bill William mountains of
Arizona. She went to the Office and
took charge. The rough men who saw
her wondered at her temerity and
hardihood; then they admired her
pluck and determined TO help her in
every way possible. She went into the
woods with the logging teams and
learned every detail of the work Of
converting a standing tree into lum-
Der or fruit boxes. She got out her
brothers contracts in time, took fur
ther orders and prospered at every
turn. Running a sawmill has passed
the experimental stage with me" said
Miss Judson. "The fact that we have

HOW TO WALK UP STAIRS.
when an Equal Distribution OF the
Body's weight Is Secured res
an Easy Task.

A physician who declared that few
people know how to walk upstairs
properly was asked to describe how IL
should be done. He said: Usually a
person will tread on the ball of his foot
in taking each step. This is very tire
some and wearing on the muscles, as IL
throws the entire suspended weight OF
the body on the muscles Of the legs and
feet. You should, in walking or climb
ing stairs, seek for the most equal dis
tribution of the body's weight possible.
"ln walking upstairs your feet should
be placed squarely down on the step,
heel and all, and then the work should
be performed slowly and deliberately.
In this way there is no strain upon any
particular muscle, but each one is doing
its duty in natural manner. The
woman who goes upstairs with spring
is no philosopher, or at least she is not
making proper use of her reasoning
faculties. The habit, too, of bending
over half double when ascending a
flight of stairs is exceedingly repre-
hensible. In any exertion Of this kind,
when the heart is naturally excited TO a
more rapid action, IL is desirable that
the lungs should have full play. The
crouching position interferes with their
action, the blood is imperfectly aereat-
ed, and there is trouble at once. Give
the lungs a chance to do their work
everywhere and at all times"
