New Steam Cooker.

The matter of cooking for limited
household has been simplified by the
introduction of a new form of steam
&C by which an entire meal can be
put up at once, covered and let alone
until it is ready to serve 1t it is even
kept over that time, it will not deterio-
rate to the extent that it would in ordi-
nary cooking utensils. It is claimed
that this appliance retains all the nutri-
ment, richness and flavor of the food
and fully ope- third of the food that IS
usually wasted IS saved. There Is no
such thing as burning, scorching or
overlooking The cooker has an alarm
whistle, which gives notice when the
main receptacle is running dry and at
the same time serves as a replenishlng
tube, through which water can be put
in without removing the cooker. Not
the least advantage of this cooker is the
fact that, having steam tight cover,
it allows neither steam nor odors to es-
cape into the room, all such being
drawn through the fire. These cookers
are adapted especially for families OF
two to eight persons, but their capacity
can readily be increased by the use OF
extensions supplied with each cooker.
This appliance is adapted for use on
either coal range, gasoline, gas or oil
stoves

The legislature of Wisconsin will
pass many needed reform measures
this winter The people have de-
manded and the legislature will head
in a substantial way 1t is doubtful,
however, if any measure looking to q
better road system will be passed.
Here is reform paramount in its
Importance to all others, and one In
which every citizen is directly inter
ested. 1t has been demonstrated
conclusively that it costs no more to
maintain permanent roads than 1T
does to maintain chronic bad ones.
Therefore if some member like Hall or
Morse would introduce a measure
looking to better road system he
would have the universal gratitude
of the people. Now that the free
ride-on-the-cars Rigma. is to be
abandoned, the question OF good
roads might be particularly appro-
pirate to the personnel of the legislat-
ure. Be this true or otherwise, the
question OF good roads is of great
Importance to the people, and one
which should be made the subject OF
legislation at this session.

How Peop1e Sleep.

In England the old four poster bed
stead is still the pride Of the nation, but
the iron or brass bedstead is beating it
out of the field The English beds are
the largest beds of the world. A pecul
iarity of the German is it's shortness
Besides that, it consists frequently in
part of large down pillow or upper
mattress, which spreads over the person
and usually answers the purpose of all
the other ordinary bed clothing combin-
ed In the tropics men sleep in ham,
mocks or upon mats or grass. The East
Indian unrolls his light, portable char
poy, or mattress, which in the morning
is again rolled together and carried
away by him. The Japanese lie upon
mating, with stiff, uncomfortable
wooden neck rest. The Chinese use low
bedsteads often deliberately carved, and
supporting only mats or coverlets. The
ancient Greeks and Romans had their
beds supported on frames, but not fiat,
like ours. The Egyptians had couch
of peculiar shape, more like an old
fashioned easy chair, with hollow back
seat.-Ind. Lancet.

ACCIDENT AT LIvERMoRE FALLS.

ACCIDENT Al LIvERMoRE FALLS.
The o.10 train over the p. s. r. +. r..
r. was standing in the Bridge street
station at Livermore Falls Monday when
a car heavily loaded with GOAL running
wildly down the tracklat the rate of
twenty-five miles an hour, struck the
front of the passenger locomotive. The
cowcatcher was splintered and the front
of the engine quite badly crushed. The
passenger car was crushed against the
hunters and thrown OF the hind trucks.
Twenty -four people were round and about
the smashup and had the boiler exploded
as is usually the case many deaths would
have resulted. Engineer Hackett acting
upon orders kicked the car over the grade
from Chisholm with his freight engine,
and Brakeman Charles Ryder who was
aboard of the car was unable to work the
brake. Finding he could be Of no avail ON
the car he jumped and in an endeavor to
switch the car to siding he narrowly es-
capped fatal injury. As it was he was
thrown some distance and his leg badly
uised. Blame can be attached to NO
one.
