same time, it permits of no neglect
of the legs, which is so often the case
with other systems of exercise, many
of which make little or no provision
for securing a sturdy foundation to
the body.
But cane exercise is valuable for
another reason-it can be adapted to
the individual without the slightest
difficulty and without reducing its
efficiency. 1t can be made as vigorous
or as mild as suits the needs of the
pedestrian, and in any case it will be
equally beneficial and upbuilding. The
strong man and the weak each can
use the system to advantage.
There is not a muscle in the upper
part of the body that cannot be eXer-
cised by the aid of the cane. Neck,
arms, abdomen, back, all are cared
for; and he who earnestly uses the
cane cannot help adding an inch or two
to his chests expansive powers.
Whenever possible take the exercises
without coat or hat. Minus coat, the
movements will be freer; and minus
hat, the hair will be materially i'm

ercise until the upper part of the body
is weary, and then, if you are near a
body of water-lake, river, stream, sea

act like a massage, cleansing the pores
and giving the skin a healthful glow.

To enhance the value of the exercises
four of which are given below and are
typical of many others that can be
easily studied out, keep walking in the
line or path before you. Don't go from
side to side and thereby lose much of
the benefit to be derived by practicing
them correctly.
These exercises are peculiarly suited
to women, if they will remember to
wear loose or no corsets while taking
them. A woman can use her sunshade
with as good results as her husband or
vacation sweetheart can obtain from
his walking stick.
1. Side Exercise-Although it is not
permissible to stop walking while TAX
ing this and all the other exercises,
you can walk gently and slowly at
first until the move is mastered. To
execute this particular movement,
grasp the cane at or near it's ends in
the hands, in front of the body, and
hold it down the full length of the
arms. Then, while walking dead ahead,
revolve the body to one side, as if the
spine were a pivot, and swing both
arms along and as far back as posi-

Food Thrown to the Fishes.
There is a great waste at sea, where
it is generally supposed that food is
regarded at its proper value. On the
big passenger liners the stewards
throw overheard every day almost as
much food as the cabin passengers eat
sometimes more, if the passenger list
is not very full. This food is seldom,
if ever, given to the crew or the steer
age passengers.

West Indian steamship belonging to a
service which is called by sailors the

There is enormous waste of food in

perience of our department is that al
most every store, market, house and

large quantity of food. The total is
enormous. If you go down to the de-
partment dumps, where the refuse col

portion of the refuse consists of food

Two of these dumps were visited.

THE MODERN KITCHEN
A THING OF BEAUTY
In the UptoDate House 1t Is No Longer Tucked Away in
the Obscurest Corner-t Receives as Much Attention
from the Architect as the Drawing Room.
BY EMMA PADDOCK TELFORD.

In the twentieth century march Of
improvement in housing, furnishing,
sanitary cleanliness and Iabor-saving
appliances, the kitchen has come in
for it's full measure. of attention.
Time was, in the years following the
regime of our great-grandmothers,
when the kitchen was the heart of
the house-full of sunshine, cheer, and
homely comfort. Then the swing of the
pendulum took it in just the other d.
rection.
Tucked away in the bowels of the
earth, or lodged in the extreme rear
Of the telescope-shaped building,
where no ray of sunshine ever can
be found" with nothing more cheerful
to look at than a line of Tapping
household linen, or the high board
fence of much restricted area, 1t was
gloomy in the extreme and sitting
with the commingled odors and fumes
of cooking and laundering.

place, or rested on the Goals. taxed
the cooks best endeavors to manipu
late them on the top Of the high stove.
The Up-tO-Date Kitchen.
But to-day, thanks largely to the
increased interest taken in domestic
science by classes established in
schools and colleges, the modern kitch-
en- stands forth bright, thoroughly
ventilated, germ-proof, and so fur
nished with enamel, marble, or metal
that there is almost no chance for the
absorption of odors or moisture.
The arrangements of the new kitch-
en- tend to compactness. This is es-
pecially true in the large cities, where
every foot of land is at a premium. A
few years ago some architects In
building a number of fine residences
placed the kitchen at the top of the
house, to allow the odors from the
cooking to pass away without perme-
ating the other apartments. This was
usually adjudged a mistake, as the
passage of supplies in through the
house and the kitchen refuse out,
proved almost as unpleasant as the
nuisance il planned to eliminate.
Then new plans were made Tor
ventilation, which, according to the
architects who are authorities on
kitchens, is the first thing to be con-
sidered. In some of the most up-to-
date houses this was attained by keep
ing the air of the entire house under
constant pressure by means of cleo
tric fans. Air was brought in, rem
dered dustless by contact with water,
heated by passage through coils of
steam and carried through the house.
This pushed out all Odors and gases
at the nearest exit. 1t proved too ex-
pensive, however, for the ordinary
house builder.
A satisfactory plan employed In
many of the newer houses is to build
the range in the remote corner of the
room near the main ventilating shaft.

The dressers are usually of hard
wood, though in some of the model
kitchens they have shelves. sides and
doors of Italian marble with hinges
and fastenings of bronze.
Electric lights are so arranged that
flood Of light can be turned on every
part of the kitchen.
Above and back of the cooks table
are heavy brass or nickel rods, upon
which are hung an orderly row OF
shining saucepans and utensils to be
used in the preparation of the coming
meal.
UP-tO-Date aud Novel Fittings.
The fittings deserve chapter to
themselves. When there are men cooks.
taste runs to copper, its FURNISHED sur
face lending a charming coloring to the
room. In a New York millionaires
kitchen the copper utensils have
wrought-iron handles with ornamental
tlons copied from special pieces in the
Cluny and other museums. In a Chi
cago kitchen the pots and saucepans
are of copper lined with silver, while
noted Philadelphia, resident in Pa
ris, elects to have his pots and pans
plated inside and out with silver.
The up-to-date chatelaine, however,
who realizes the extra weight of cop
per and the time and strength required
to keep 1t Furnished, prefers the best
enameled iron ware. While the gray and
blue enamels are attractive and clean,
the newest ware, which comes In milk
Wilderness with rims of gilt, is so
charming that even one who hates
housework" feels inclined to conjure
with it. All sorts of things are made
of It, from the tea-kettle to the spice
cars.
Most of the decorative, picturesque
fittings for the kitchen come from
abroad. The fireproof casseroles and
ramikins. with their rich, rusty shades
Of brown, lined with white porcelain,
are of French manufacture, while the
polished mounting is done in Berlin.
Countless LabOr-Saving Devices.
Most of the labor saving devices, on
the other hand. are the outcome Of
Yankee ingenuity and skill. Among
these are vegetable and meat choppers;
little churns, to make a pat of sweet
fresh butter, and get a daily service
of delicious buttermilk as we'll; water
distillers, sandwich and vegetable cut
tiers, moulds of all sorts for jellies and
deserts, ice cream freezers, plata
scrapers, mayonnaise heaters, whipped
cream churns, fruit pressers, almond
mills, and a hundred and one other
contrivances that bear out the remark
made recently by a veteran dealer in
house furnishings:
with all the multiplication OF
household conveniences, we find it hard
to keep up with the wants of the mod
ern housekeeper. A few years ago it
was difficult to persuade her to give
any new device trial. To-day, with
all Europe. Asia and America catering
to her comfort and fancy, she calls for
more"
The day is, indeed, past when any
thing was good enough for the kitch-
en-. Beauty and utility must be COM
bined to gild and refine the whilom
drudgery of the kitchen, for the mod
ern housewife realizes that cooking is
no less refined than the other arts, and
that it's shrine must be in keeping.
