flown in the face of superstition and
buried his victim with his feet to the

enough to stand another campaign.
Nearby are the tents used by Wash

sleeping tent, twenty-eight feet long,
with walls six feet high and roof with
slx-foot pitch. 1t is made of linen.
The other two are Marquee tents of
smaller size, one with walls, the other
shelter tent, open on the sides. That
the tenting material of revolutionary
days was good stuff is proved by the
excellent condition of these tents, which
sheltered the great commander
through all his severe campaigns.

The electrical kitchen is not only ad-
mirable, says Ainslee's Magazine, 1t Is
ideal in its application of heat 1t does
not steal oxygen; 1T 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
5roil, 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 eAemplification Of
the wholesale principle; instead of
thousand chimneys smoking at Il 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, hack to heat again.
