FOR THE HOUSEWIFE
In tn. Kitchen.

From the kitchen comes the life OF
the household, literally. and in, that
there must be good cheer and conven-
fence. This is really most material,
for a bad tempered cook may sour the
food, and a dark kitchen will most GER
tainly breed more kinds of bacteria
than are wholesome. What, then,
should we look for in a kitchen? First,
light enough to see dirt-light over tie
sink, light near the stove, light flood
ing every corner-sunlight, too, from
one window at least; windows or ven
tilators so placed at the top as to let
out bad air, steam odors, etc. The
odors of burned food, boiled cabbage,
ETC., are far less noticeable if there is
plenty of fresh air to oXidize them.
Then, if the kitchen is large, a sink in
the middle of the room so that more
than one person can conveniently get
at it, but not of the inclosed variety,
mind you, the horrible dirt trap! 1t
the expense of a few more steps Il cold
pantry on the outside for fruit. vege-
tables and many such things as are
better kept cool and dry than cold and
damp, as in the icebox or refrigerator.
Kitchens are often too large, requiring
too many steps. This is due to a mis-.
taken idea that unless large they will
be hot and stuffy. Not so with proper
air fues and proper methods of cook
ing. AS evidence. look at a ships gal,
ley-everything at hand and all i'm
maculately clean. The paths of work
should not too often cross or interfere.
In a factory the raw material never
goes back upon it's path from the time
it enters until it leaves the building.
The kitchen should be made as sani-
tary as the hospital o. the dairy. The
passion for woodwork which led build
ers of fifty years ago to box up the
kitchen sink induced them to make
drawers in the kitchen and pantry
closets. These, set in their thin frames
under the stairs, in closets, anywhere,
are responsible for much of the misery
caused by waterbugs and bacteria.

FOR II
Father Pansy.

Lr AL LEt - ? = II MMFL
There Is a funny old story about the
pansy which many children know, but
many, again, do not. The pansy has
five petals and five sepals. In all pam
sizes two Of the petals are of plain color,
and three are gay with stripes and
spots of bright color. The two plain
petals have but one sepal between
them, while the two smallest, or the
gay petals, have a sepal each. and the
Il large petal has two sepals.
AS the story goes, the pansy repre-
sents a family-a mother, two daugh-
tiers and two stepdaughters. The moth
er is very cross and cruel to her step
daughters, obliging them both to sit on
n chair and wear homely dresses,
while her daughters have a chair each
and very gay dresses indeed.
But why doesn't the father object to
such treatment of his daughters? The
question is, can you find the father?
He is at home. Oh, yes. And you will
have to tear the house down, taking
out the wife and children, to find him.
He is a little bit of a man, with a
white wrapper on and a nigiltcap. But,
poor man, he is sick, and if you will
look closely you will see that he sits
with his hands On his knees, a look Of
despair on his face and his feet in a
tub of hot water. .

Secret Of food Tea.

Few h~ousekeepers remember, as they
should, that when it is necessary to
dilute strong tea it should be done with
water at the boiling point. The poor
flavor of tea made strong at first and
then reduced, such as is too often serv-
ed at receptions and Eat homes" is us-
ually caused by the addition of hot. not
boiling, water to the first infusion. \
lesson in this matter may be had from
the Russians, who serve the most de-
licious tea in the world, and who pre-
pare it first very strong, making it al
most an essence Of tea. This is diluted
to the strength wished with water
kept boiling in the samovar. This
water is not allowed to boil and reboll,
but is renewed as needed. Freshly
boiled water is insisted upon by all con-
noisseurs in teamaking.

An Amusement For Children.

I fancy that if questioned most peo-
pie would say that a sheet of paper
would not float for any length of time
on water and certainly would not bear
any weight. But experiment proves
the contrary. Indeed the number of
things that can be done with floating
paper will not only surprise old people.
but will furnish amusement for chill
dren. A sheet Of ordinary writing pa
per, if properly adjusted, will float for
an apparently indefinite period. Four
half sheets which 1 foated by way of
a test were as dry on the upper surface
after having been or the water for ten
days Is when ] first placed them on the

But what surprised me most of all
was to learn the weight these floating
papers can carry. One day, while l
was experimenting with them, l rather
carelessly placed a large wooden spool
on one of the half sheets, expecting. of
course, to see the paper so to the bot
tom Immediately. This did not happen,
however, and my aroused curiosity
prompted me to add greater weight.
R~ecklessly l laid my four bladed pen
knife on top of the spool; to my aston

REPUBLICAN TRIUMPH A RE-
CORD, BREAKER.
ENEMY'S COUNTRY
Sweeping Victory Result of Trend
Of Sentiment on National
Affairs.

Columbus, O., Nov. 6.-With almost
complete returns in tonight, it is noted
that the republican plurality beats
all records in what has become known
as the quadrennial ''off year" and with
two eceptions the records Of other
years. In the off years, or those fol-
lowing a presidential election, with
two exceptions, the democrats have
carried Ohio, the exceptions being in
1881 after the death Of Garfield and
in 1893 after the Cleveland elections.
Wherever local issues were para
mount this year the republicans sus-
tanned losses, notably at Columbus, on
account of local option and at Cleve-
land on account of Mayor Johnson's
agitation of Taxation inequalities"
/ Where no such conditions existed,
the republicans made gains and they
carried some democratic counties that
never before were represented by re
publicans.

Preparins spanish onions.

Spanish onions cooked or sliced raw
for a salad are an a%ppetizing Wand. A
delicious way Of cooking these onions
is to boil them in milk. One large
onion is sufficient for four persons
when served as a dinner vegetable.
First peel the onion carefully, then let
it soak for two hours in cold water
well sailed, then place it in a large
saucepan, pour in enough milk to cover
the onion to the depth of an inch, stand
it over a slow fire, put the cover on the
saucepan and let the onion simmer gen.
thy for three hours. Then serve it in a
deep vegetable dish with plenty Of
melted butter. Season with pepper and
salt and a little finely chopped parsley.

A Queer

There's a hospital down on Absurdity square,
Where the queerest Of patients are tended with
care.
When I made them a visit, l saw in a crib
A little Umbrella who had broken his rib.
And then l observed in the very next bed
A bright little Pin who had bumped his poor
head.
They said a new cure they'd decided to try
On an old Needle, totally blind in one eye.
I was much interested, and soon l espied
A Shoe who complained of a stitch in her side.
And q sad looking patient who seemed in the
dumps
Was a Clock, with a swell face because of the
humps.
Then l tried very hard. though l fear twas in
vain,
To comfort a Window who had a.bad pane.
And l paused just a moment to cheerily speak
With q pale Cup Of Tea; who wa awfully weak.
As I took my departure l met on the stair
A new patiept, whom they We're handling with
care,
A victim perhaps of some terrible wreck
Twas a Squash, who had fatally broken his neck.

Pussy"

"Pussy."
The origin Of the name pussy" is ex-
planned by Our Boys and Girls as fol-
lows:
Many years ago the people Of Egypt
worshiped the cat. They thought that
she was like the moon because she was
more active at night and because her
eyes changed, just as the moon
changes, which is sometimes full and
sometimes only a little bright crescent
or half moon.
So these people made an idol with
the cats head and named it Pasht, the
same name which they gave to the
moon. for the word mean the ''face
Of the MOON"
That word has been changed to
''pas," or "pus," and has come at last
to be "puss," the name which almost
every one gives to the cat.
