Hints About Tho Laundry.

The variety Of laundry stoves is
simply without number One that is
good and cheap can be easily fitted so
as to supply hot water independent of
the kitchen boiler. 1t has sloping
spaces around the firepot for irons
and a specially fitted round table to
hold the wash boiler The water pipe
is in some mysterious fashion coiled
around inside, next the fire, then leads
out either to tubs or a faucet. Then
there is an oil-stove, which will keep
three irons going and kissing hot at
cost of less than two cents an hour.
1t is withal so handily portable one
may iron in the arrest room of the
house with no danger of defccing it.
If gas is available it is barbarous to
iron in a hot Kitchen One Of the long
stoves with the perforated burners,
each of which heats an iron, can be set
outside the door Of a hall bedroom and
prove a godsend to either mistress or
maid

In the choice of furniture for the
laundry, set-tubs come next TO cedar
ones with brass hoops. A nest of four,
fitting snugly, one within another,
will, with reasonable care, last ten
years. besides being ever so much
lighter and handler than tubs Of pine
Of poplar. Keep the tubs together be-
tween wash days and pour a little
clean water into the upper one. This
will save all from shrinking, yet will
breed no smell nor mold. In use, set
them upon a long stout bench so pro-
portiOned in height to the washer
woman there will be no need to stoop
much over the work. If space is scant
have the bench legs hinged on, so
they may be folded, and the bench

God Given Power to Love.

Loving as we are loved is delightful
and human; loving whether we are
loved or not is not easy. but it is god
like. In the full heartedness Of youth
our love goes out in return for kind
ness and love received. Loving those
who love US seems as natural as
breathing. and so. indeed, it is. But
as we advance In life the Master sets
Us harder lessons and puts our loving
power to fireproof tests. 1t seems a
hard doctrine that loving fallible and
unlovely men should be as the test Of
our love for pure and holy and all
loving God. yet any love worthy of the
name, and the only one which will
bear testing. is God derived. Only
when we look to Him for power to
love men do we gain that affection for
and sympathy with our fellows which
enable us to love others with no thought
Of their attitude toward US and which
He would have us show toward all
men.-Sunday School Times.

LADIES AT DINNER.
From the Position of Carver to the
Principal Seat.

Principal seat.
The presence of ladies at dinner was
brought about by necessity more than
by the gallantry due to their sex.
Servers and henchmen were superseded
by lady carvers. who worked at side
table In Elizabethan times at private
dinners il became usual to place the
principal joints and grand pieces at
the upper end of the table. above the
salt. so the chief guests could see the
joints and secure choice helpings. We
have something of this kind in the hab-
IL which prevails at restaurants of first
diners before carving. The place which
came TO the fair sex from necessity was
soon claimed by them as their right
and they passed from the mental posi-
tion of carver TO the oecupiers OF the
principal seat. The lady had helpers
who deemed it an honor to serve her
in their turn.
In this duty of semiprofessional cary
er lies one of the first causes of the
paper frills for legs of mutton. etc. for
it was used in every case where the OPP
orator had to grasp some tangible part
of the joint with the left hand In 1868
grand dame suggested that it would
appear more comely and decent to use
fork" this in spite of existing pref
udice.
1t was at this time. too. that travellers
from Holland introduced into England
the fashion Of seating men and women
alternately. the adoption of which put
an end to lady carvers. Then the au-
thor of THE Cooks Oracle" suggested
that joints and large birds should be
carved before they came to table. thus
starting the now prevailing fashion of
carving at the side table
