An Ideal Kitchen.

The electrical kitchen is not only adj
mirable, says Ainslees Magazine, it is
ideal in its application Of heat. 1t does
not steal oxygen; it does not foul the
air. 1t is steady; it can be directed to
the top, bottom and sides of the thing
to be cooked, for it does not depend
upon the combustion Of fuel or the con-
nection Of hot air, but upon the resist
ance of iron to electrical current. In
stead of having to plan so that the
cooking be done when the fire is in the
range, the electrical kitchen is ready at
any hour of the day or night to bake or
,broil, set the stewpan to sizzling or the
hot water urn to bubbling, to brew the
5 o'clock tea; to temper the chill Of the
square bed or warm the toes under the
desk; to heat the curling iron or the
smoothing iron, all these appliances
being connected by a flexible wire cord
to socket in the wall whence comes
the energy. 1t is an exemplitication Of
the wholesale principle; instead of a
thousand chimneys smoking at ire
mendous sacrifice of coal, there need
be but one big fire, whose heat is turned
into motion, that into electricity, and
that, in turn, back to heat again.

She Will Occupy a Leading Position
at Washington Functions.
Since the death Of Vice President Ho-
bart the late Mrs. William 2. Frye Of
Maine has enjoyed the honorary title
Of 1.-The second lady OF the land" by vir-
tue Of her husbands position as Presi-
dent of the Senate. She was woman
every way worthy of Il place among the
foremost Of her Sex and her untimely
death a few weeks ago caused sincere
sorrow. Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt, wife
Of the Vice President, will assume the
dignity. Virtually she will be the lead
er at all official social functions, for
the precarious health OF Mrs Mckinley
renders her presence, except on rare oc-
casions, impossible. Many people have
imbibed the idea that Mrs. Roosevelt
is timid. retiring woman, with little
interest in anything except household
euties. Some have even suspected the
Governor Of being something of a do
mestic tyrant. Nothing further from
the truth could be imagined. Mrs.
Roosevelt is almost as decided a char
acter as her husband. She is the Chatc-
lalne Of Sycamore Hill, the beautiful

'Abouf two months ago was taken
very i'll with Ia grippe and was Obliged
to go to bed. 1 took three bottles OF
Peruna with very beneficial results,
and was able to leave my bed In q

Frances N. Anderson.
La grippe is, strictly speaking, cpl
demic catarrh--that is to say, variety
of acute catarrh which is so conta gious
and runs a course more or less definite,
the same as scarlet fever, whooping
cough, etc.
During the acute stakes Of la grippe it
is not a very fatal disease, but the condi-
ton in which it leaves the system has
caused the death of a countless number.
Indeed nearly every person who has
had la grippe within the last three years
finds himself more or less deranged by
the pernicious effects of this disease. The
majority Of those who have escaped
death find life scarcely worth living
If this vast multitude of people could
only know with what certainty and
promptness Peruna would relieve them
Of all the bad effects which Ia grippe has
brought upon them, what an untold
amount of suffering would be averted!
Thousands have already heard how
quickly this remedy will cure in these
cases and have been saved; but tens Of
thousands have not yet heard, and con-

tinue to suffer on, dropping into the
grave one by one.
Peruna cures catarrh in all stages and
varieties, whether acute or chronic, and
is therefore the most effective remedy
ever devised for removing all the de.
rangements which follow la grippe.
Samuel NJ. York writes from Union
Grove, Ala, the following letter:

"'@' VIVA ing, and several white
men and a party Of Indians stood about
this building watching the travellers as
they entered the water. When near
the middle of the river Miss Blain's
horse stumbled and fell to his knees,
and the young girl slipped from the
saddle. The next instant she found
herself struggling in the rapid current,
occasionally disappearing beneath the
waves and swiftly approaching the
falls. White Wolf sprang far out into
the flood, and few strokes of his arms
brought him close to the sinking girl.

are no lanterns made nowadays for
candles only, but there are exported to
South America some lanterns made so
that either candles or oil may be burned
in them. These are provided with a
candle socket, which may be set down
into the oil reservoir, the wick holder
having been removed. BY removing
the candle socket and screwing in the
wick holder the lantern is made ready
to burn oil. Excepting railroad and
other lanterns for special uses, substan-
tally all the lanterns made nowadays
are of the kind known as tubular, first
introduced about thirty years ago, and
now made in various notifications as
to detail, the tubular part of the Ian
tern being designed with view to pre-
ducing better combustion and a bright

England or Germany, and the exports

Heating by Steam.
The art Of heating buildings by steam
has progressed so rapidly during the
past ten years that there are now three
distinct systems we'll developed, all per-
forming the same kind Of service, but
doing it under conditions that vary ma
terially. The oldest and most widely
known Of these is the gravity system,
so called for the reason that the steam
generated in the boiler rises up to the
radiators, and, as it is condensed, the
resulting water is returned to the
boiler by gravitation, no appliance,
other than the return pipe, being used
for this purpose:
The next is what may be called the
mechanical system, as mechanical
means are frequently applied to re-
duce the pressure of the steam in the
system from that carried in the boiler.
and mechanical appliances are always
used to return the water Of condensa-
ton from the return pipes of the system
back to the boiler. These may be in
the shape Of an automatic steam tran
or a pump and governor. as may best
suit the conditions. The third is the
exhaust steam system. in which the
heating is done by steam that has been

MYSTERIOUS SHOOTING.
A Louisville Travelling Man who
Has n GunshOt Wound-lIe VIII
Not Talk.

Louisville. Ky. Sept. &c. W. Fall
lis, travelling man, living at ops East
Kentucky street, and brother of DR..
Robert G.. Falls. is at his home in
serious condition from what is sup
posed to be pistol shot wound in
the back.
Saturday afternoon, shortly before
6 o'clock, hack driver, who has his
stand at Fifth and Jefferson streets,
was hastily summoned to the tele-
phone building, which is only half a
square away, on jefferson street.
When he reached there. two men
brought Falls. who was unable 10
walk and apparently very weak. down
stairs from the third story, put him
I'm the carriage and ordered the driver
TO take him home. They accompan-
fed him part of the way. but got out,
paid the driver and left. When Fall
lis home was reached he was taken
inside and put under the care of his
brother.
The police were not notified and no.
body knows what occurred i'm the tel
ephone building, which has a num-
Der of clubs and lodge rooms on the
upper floors. 1t seems pretty well
established that Falls is suffering
from a pistol shot wound, at least he
did not deny it.
"NOu can say about me what YOU
please, but you will not get any state
mrnt out of me" said ne Sunday
night. His brother also refused to
talk. pleading that he was pledged
to secrecy. The affair is creating tall,
on all sides. and the police will make
an investigation.
