A Kitchen Bewitched.

There was an interregnum. The queen Of
the kitchen had abdcated the throne in
dudgeon, and had left her realm in confu-
sion. But TO what is Indianapolis matron
not equal? The lady of the house straight
way went TO putting that kitchen TO rights.
Among other deeds she empted half dozen
different little boxes and tin cans of salt
into the salt box. Then she addressed her
self TO getting a dinner that should show
her family the difference between servant
girls cooking and mothers cooking. But
soup and meat. potatoes and peas. looked
and smelled and tasted queer as she took
them UP. and grew queerer with each mo-
ment's exposure to the air. The potatoes
were dark when she dished them, and were
positively black before the meal was over.
In fact, everything looked more less
black, and the taste was indescribable. The
family made a meal on bread and butter
and the pudding. which had escaped the
general desolation.
The puzzled matron redoubled her efforts
for the next meal. and the results were even
worse. Then she sat down to study the
situation. She did not believe that the late
unlamented had laid spell on the kitchen,
or had tried to poison the family. She was
sure there was some explanation in chem
istry and common sense for the hoodoo. Her
chemistry had rather lain dormant since her
college days. but her common sense was all
there. The queerness affected only the art-
cles seasoned with salt. She examined the
salt box. The contents did not look or taste
like salt or like anything else. She finally
concluded that one of the little tin cans had
contained soda instead of salt, and the mix
ture was responsible for the trouble. ''Bi-
carbonate of soda and sodium chloride" she
reflected Probably the extra molecule OF
carbonic acid took the sodium out of the
salt and set the chlorine free-that's 1t! It's
chlorine that those things taste and smell
like. The chlorine must have dissolved
enough iron from the kettles to blacken
things. Anyhow. the evil spell lies in that
salt box" She threw away the salt box.
and the superiority of mothers cooking was
once more made manifest.

To Dispose of Rags"

New York Tribune.
For the economical and ingenious home
maker there are great possibilities in the
present fad for odd, roughly woven hang
ings. The rag carpet of an earlier day is
now initiated in woven fabric very pliable
and readily washed. which can be made to
order in any desired coloring for $50 a
yard, and is used, not on the floor, but for
closet dOOrways and hall portieres. What
would otherwise be disposed of as rags
or a generation ago made up in carpets,

Never in the history of medicine has
the demand for one particular remedy

medicine has the demand for it been
so great as it is to-day.

Kenosha People Show Hesitancy in
Accepting the Stock OF the In
dependent Telephone Co.
WORK TO BE STARTED NEXT WEEK
Stock Will Be Sold to Outside Parties and
the Work of Building the Exchange
VIII Be Rushed.

The Citizens Telegraph and Tele-
phone company will begin the work of
building an independent telephone ex-
change IN Kenosha next week but there
is little reason to believe that the COM
pany will be an exclusively Kenosha
corpora ton as the people of Kenosha
have shown a decided hesitancy in
taking up the stock of the company
and most of the stock that has been
taken in Kenosha has been taken by
the members of the corporation.
Solicitors visited nearly every one in
the city offering the stock but there
were few takers. The stock had been
set at the low rate of twenty-five dol
lars share in order to allow it to be
taken by the people but only twenty
FIVE shares of the stock was sold by the
solicitors and the rest remains in the
hands of the officers of the company.
The failure of the people to take the
stock will IN no way interfere with the
construction of the exchange as the
managers of the company have several
offers from outsiders who are willing
to buy up every cent of the stock and
they will take all that is left after the
officers of the company have secured
the stock they have subscribed for.
The line will then be in the hands of
outside parties and it is possible that a
reorganization of the company may
follow.
The contract for the installation Of
the new system of 'phoGes has not as
yet been let but there will be no delay
on this account and the work of build
ing the conduits on Church street will
be started with the least possible de-
lay. AS there are to be no poles in the
business district the company is plan
ming to place its main conduits on
Church street and these will be put in
before the street is paved.
1t will require about six months to
install the exchange and the company
will have abundant time to do this in
the time specified in the franchise or
dinance issued to them by the City
Council.
While the stock of the company has
not sold very rapidly the phones
promise to be very popular and already
orders have been placed for about
three hundred phones. The Exchange
will be made sufficiently large to ac-
commodate some seven hundred
phones and it is thought that great
ma jority of these phones will be put
in with the starting of the line.
