Electrical Cookery.

Thu advantage of cooking by electric
ity as summed up by housekeepers who
are using it are these: There is no
smoke, flame or SCOT and of course no
ashes or the dust arising from them
In fact. when in use there is nothing
visible to indicate the presence Of heat.
The disks and broilers look exactly the
same as when cold. but the cooking
goes OH just the same as it goes on over
gas flame or bed of Goals.
Not even a match is necessary. and
when one reflects what a boon the in

use. There is no fuel and no large
range, the apparatus being accommo-

is no vitiation Of the atmosphere and
practically no emanation of heat into
the room.
OF course it would he idle to say that
an oven heated to the roasting point
radiates no heat. but probably there is
no system of cooking where this is SO
little as by electricity. There is no la
Dor in maintaining a uniform heat and
no danger of fire or explosion. 1t is

Kitchen Aids.

Toward aiding the housewife the in
ventors have recently seemed to have
turned their energies. Any number of
new little devices have appeared in the
shops which are to be used to tighten
the labors in the kitchen and in doing
the homework. For baking there is an
Ingenious pan for preventing cakes and
delicate sugar connections from burn
ing. Also perfect steam cooker in
which the housewife can put on beans,
stews or viands that demand long
cooking and turn to other tasks, as
sured that the pot will not boil over or
stop boiling or boil too fast, as is the

Repealed" Missouri Laws.

A stranger, while looking over
some old records OF the county court
at Macon discovered that the Mis-.
souri, legislature OF sixty years ago
was not venerated much more than
those OF recent years. In the Macon
county court in June, 1899, the
judges coolly repealed" a state law
by thefollowing order: Ordered that
the law passed by the legislature Of
1888 and 1889 respecting groceries
and dramshops be null and void in
Macon county"
In those days q grocery store and
drsmshop we're Synonymous terms,
and the legislature, 1t seems, had
been curtailing the powers of the
dealers-or trying to. Having gone
thus far without the militia being
called out, the county court made
more law in August, as appears by
the minutes: 1.-THE law passed by
the Legislature the 18th day OF Feb
ruary, 1889, respecting the ply Of
grand jurors is hereby rejected, and
that there shall not be any eompen-
sation allowed for such service"
The members OF this revolutionary
tribunal were Elvin Allen, Philip Dale
and Lynn Dabney. The sheriff was
Jefferson Morrow, who lived to be
the Oldest ex-sheriff in Missouri and
died only a few years ago.
