eLIMPSES OF THE FUTURE.
Here Is an Idea of What Housekeep'
ing VIII BE Like Two Thousand
Years Hence.

In many houses there are still the often
sive duties OF filling lamps and blackening
boots to be done Our coming houses,
however, will have no lamps, and, as for
the boots. really intelligent people VIII
feel the essential ugliness Of wearing the
evidence OF constant manual toll updn
their persons. They will wear sorts of
shoes and boots that can be cleaned by
wiping in a minute or so. Take now the
bedroom work. The lack of ingenuity in
sanitary fittings at present forbids the OBJ
vious convenience OF hot water supply TO
the bedroom, and there is mighty fetch
ing and carrying Of water and slops to be
got through daily, but all that will cease,
says The Fortnightly Review.
Every bedroom will have its own bath
dressing room which one will use and
leave without the slightest dlsarrange-
ment. This, so far as upstairs" goes,
really only leaves bedmaking TO be done,
make. Downstairs a vast amount Of
needless labor at present arises out Of
table wear. Washing up" consists of a
tedious cleansing and wiping Of each table
utensil in turn, whereas II should be pos
sible to immerse all dirty tableware in a
suitable solvent for a few minutes and
then run that of for the articles to dry
The application Of solvents TO window
cleaning also would be a possible thing,
but for the primitive construction of our
windows. which prevents anything but a
painful rub, rub, rub with the leather. A
friend OF mine in domestic service tells
me that this rubbing is TO get the window
dry, and this seems to be the general i'm
preston. but 1 think IL Incorrect The
water is not an adequate solvent and
enough cannot be used under existing con-
ditions. Consequently, IL the window is
cleaned and left wet II dries I'm drops and
these drops contain dirt in solution which
remains as spots. But water containing a
suitable solvent could be run quite simply
down a window for a few minutes from
pinholes in a pipe above into a groove be-
low, and this could be followed by pure
rain water for an equal time. and in this
way the whole window cleaning in the
house could, I imagine. be reduced TO the
business OF turning on a tap.

DO women help in the wooing?

DO women nelp IN Ine WOOlpB
I think they do.
Women seldom pop the question" /
guess, but they give sufficient encourage
ment to see that it is successfully popped.
Her very name just misses spelling the
whole situation-"wo-man."
Our great grandmothers would have
been shocked no doubt, at the very ask
ing of this question, but there is every
reason to believe they helped in their way
as much as the modern women do, but In
those days women had not learned to be
as independent. We know the modern
woman is given to saying what she
thinks.
Woman has ever borne the reputation
of being a sympathetic creature, and
pity is akin to love-" The natural conse-
quence is she lends helping hand when
she sees a fellow man in need.
woman is worth the wooing and
should be sought, but she believes in be-
ing found by the right man. She need not
say, and does not, all she feels, but she
looks It enough to help matters on, and
she has ways. winning ways, which are
not wasted. She knows actions speak as
loud as words.
A woman of the highest type does not
permit a man to address her unless she
means to say yes. Too often she is con-
scious of a mans regard for her before he
knows it himself, and she laughs at him
when he is blissfully unconscious of any
cause for amusement in himself.
When I asked the opinion of my cook
and house maid on this important ques-
ton, there was no hesitation on the part
of either when they announced, Eyes,
MAIN, they help"
Shall we live to see the day when women
openly enter the field Of counting, as they
have already entered other fields formerly
occupied exclusively by men? Whether
she helps in the woOing or not is a ques-
ton open for discussion, but one thing is
certain, she does her part in helping after

THOMAS scRuTcHIN-

From limited knowledge of the women
of today sincerely believe that to accred-
1t men with all the wooing. is gross in
justice.
If the male element is guilty of so Sc
rious charge, why that internal machine
the cosy-corner? Why are husbands made
bankrupt through the furnishing of these
pitfalls OF propinquity? 1 venture that
there is not a mother in the world today
possessed of a daughter over six years old
who can be blindfolded and backed into
residence not literally pigeon-holed in
this manner rGs
To mans agility in eluding the cozy-
corner is due the Equal Suffragists' As
ISOLATION and others of a like character.
What a pity Susan B. had nothing but
straight-back chairs! Had architects in
those days Oeen more foxy, some fragile
youth would undoubtedly have basked in
the sunshine now vented on an Angora
cat.
Take the case Of Miss stone! If, as is
contended, men do all the wooing, why
did she chase that poor brigand chieftain
into the mountains of Bulgaria? Mrs. Ma
ton used a hatchet-Ellen might have
purchased an ak and landed an American.

because of the disloyalty of subject to
her sovereign, but because as wife she
dared disobey her husband. All the
mighty men took fright, and advised pun
ishment of this daring woman lest other
wives in the province should follow her
example.
Wouldn't 1t be a nice question for stu
dents of social evolution, should the So
called new woman" with all her ad-
vanced thought resort to the same meth
DDS Of husband-getting that obtained in
the DAYS when women were counted as
so much goods and chattels?
But she will not. And why will she
not. and should she not? Because wo-
mans intuition win and should carry her
safely along the varying but upward path
of social and educational development.

She was very beautiful. They all are,

perhaps could not be blamed for thinking
So know she is not as beautiful now as
she was then. 1 saw her last summer.
Married, thank you, and two fine boys. 1
was between my first Scylla and the other
place. Fortunately for our tender pas
sion, she was quite three years the older.
She managed 1t all; else there would have
been no wooing OF.
Perhaps this will not stand as any ar
gument? AS 1 say, 1 would not dare to
express an opinion. There was another.
Also she was older than I. Her hair was
like the ravens wing-at least, 1 think it
was. 1 have never seen raven. She was
very nice, especially as to the eyes. She
patted me on the head and said 1 was a
nice boy, but silly I dare say I was. But
age to say what did had it not been for
those eyes.
Pardon me for abiding to it, but I am
the most bashful man 1 know. With that
stupid admission comes my inspiration.
Madame, 1 have solved your problem
Let her be attracted by the man. and she
will do as much of the wooing as may be
necessary-no more. The personal equa-
ton of the other character is her Delphic
oracle. If he be a man experienced in
such things, she will let him do it ALL and
he will. But when she eondescends to
cast the radiance of her eyes upon such
as your unsophisticated friend. she must
do all of 1t, or heaven knows it will not
be done at all. r
Yet. as 1 say, know nothing about it,
This is mere conjecture. There is a very
earning girl who has promised to teach
me the reality Of these things. She is very
beautiful. I am very anxious to be taught.
Her eyes are like the unfathomable depths
of a summer sky. Her laugh is like the
innumerable laughter of the gray sea.
The witchery of her presence binds me in
a potent thraldom. Clearly, may prove
a good pupil.
Until then, pray you excuse me.

Prepare to Evaporate and Can Peaches


The steady cold weather that has pre-
vailed during January and February
would indicate the backward blooming Of
peachtrees this spring. II the peachtrees
do not blossom until danger from frost
has. passed, Georgia viii have a mammoth
peach crop to care for In this year 1902.
II the. season of gathering should be
rainy, or transportation Of fruit cars
should be hindered, there must be provis-
ion made for saving the fruit at home,
which would otherwise be wasted-una-
voidably.
It behooves all peach-growers to be on
the lookout for a suitable place to dry
the fruit BY evaporation or can the green
fruit in canning establishments.
II will not do to delay matters at all; be-
cause the fruit has cost the growers so
much that they must save It,
Where there are many peaches grown IN
a neighborhood there should be concerted
action taken, early enough to be ready for
the emergency.
There should be canning factories and
evaporation plants anyhow, because in
large orchards there will be quantities Of
fruit that may be inferior in some respects
for crates, but which would be very sala-
bic for other purposes.
Let the peach-growers look out for a
good place to can the fruit, and to also
evaporate.
A word to the wise is sufficient.
