The RAILWAY HOG.
Never have I seen this creature de-
scribed other than Of male gender. And
like the school children, II cry s'sNo
fair, no fair " I am sure men do oc-
cupy seats unreasonably; without re-
gard to others comfort sometimes, per-
haps often; not more often than do the
ladies, if you call selfish women that.
Do you really think now that we are
taught correctly and kindly as to these
matters? Isn't hoggishness quite as
Objectionable in one sex as the other ?
Take care ! Donot teach your girls TO
demand too much of their brothers. or
any other men or boys. Neither should
the boys be overbearng, because they
are boys and taught it. If we natur-
ally lack kindness or consideration for
Others, we can acquire it by persistent
effort and practice. This is as possible
and practicable for one person as an
other. Not with the same amount Of
effort, perhaps, but it is due you; and
you have the right to take it. Don't
sell your birthright for mess of pot
tage.
UNDER THE KETTLE.
At this season Of drewood prepare
ticn ALLOW me to call your attention to
that which may have special prepara-
ton for hot weather service. You may
use an oil or gasoline stove in extreme
heat. Then I am not talking to you.
Every one using the common wood
cooking stove, or range, / am sure
would find comfort and economy in
the use Of wood six to eight inches long;
some Of it one, and from that to two
inches in diameter, or thickness. "Ohp'
says Jim, 81 have work enough to cut
it the old-fashioned way ~ Yes, but
you can make given amount 90 far
ther in this small wood; and heat your
house less, when summer is giving you
more heat than you like to bear.
s'Well, y says Sallie, ~ know Jim bet
, ter than to expect him to work to anv
such new-fangled notion as that. am
fortunate i'll don't have to cut and

a little this way: then show him how
= nicely it will make just what fire you
need, and no more, right under the
kettle; heating the one front and q
back boiling-place. Doing all you
want done at once, in many summer
d meals. In some houses supper time
calls for no cooking; aside from wha-
" can be done on one side of the stove
!, But for want of a divided fuel, the full
e length sticks are used, and Woo
wasted, to throw out worse than use
I less heat, to cause discomfort to thu
y cook and family. Perhaps you havl
n time now to build that little summe
t kitchen your wife needs for next sum

heat is distressing and weakening,
taken in over-doses. Over the COO

~ The housewives know this.
