Too Much Kitchen.

The French, the best cooks in the
world, perform their entire task within
the area that is often given in this
country, in house of moderate size,
to the china closet alone. for the
American, following his English an
cestor, has fallen into the habit Of
giving an undue amount OF Importance
to the kitchen or service portion of
the house. The tendency reacts upon
itself, and it may be that the exagger-
ated Importance given to the servant
problem in this country is less una
voidable than the ordinary housewife
supposes. If she could but once be
brought to consider restricting the area
now given to the kitchen and the clos
cts connected with it, might it not be
found that the ordinary routine OF
household life would move along moEe
easily and with less friction?-F.

"More than S5O,OOO0OO is invested in
the fleet of American pleasure craft,
and of this total nearly S40,0OO,OOO is ir

in The Worlds Work. THE approx
mate cost of wages, maintenance, re-
pairs and insurance may be placed al
$6,000,000. The five thousand men
employed about three months earn
S1,500,OO0 while they are afoat, and
to feed them costs steam yacht own
ers an average total of $25OO q day
1t has become easier for an owner to
rent first-class steam yacht than to
get a tenant for a costly summer es'
tate, and the demand has increased sc
rapidly that a charter for a frst-class
steam yacht will command from $5,'
600 to $4,000 a month, exclusive OF
all charges for keeping the boat in
commission.
ut would be an easy matter to men.
tion twenty-five American steam
yachts whose aggregate value is S1O'
100000. The millionaire's standard
of living has increased in the main
tenance of his yacnt as we'll as in his
homes on shore, and yachting item
of 100000 year is included in the
budget of a modern Midas. One OF
them said recently that he recsoned
on a cost of $1,000 a day as long as
his yacht was in commission, and an
other claimed to have spent S15O000
for the maintenance of his 270-foot
Yacht last year."

Paint From Mummiee.

Ground-up mummy makes q brown
of a certain rare color that nothing
else can give. 1t is on account Of the
asphaltum in that mummy that this Is
so. The Egyptians wrapped their dead
in garments coated with .asphaltum
of an incomparably fine and pure quail
ity. This asphaltum, as the centuries
passed, impregnated the tissues of the
dead themselves. 1t turned them into
the best paint materials in the world
Being exceedingly expensive it is used

Panama, Colombia.-The revolution
which has been quietly planned since
the rejection Of the canal treaty by the

independence Of the Isthmus was pro-
claimed A large crowd, made up OF
all political parties, marched to the

of the Republic Of Panama. No resist
ance was made.
The enthusiasm of the people was
immense. and at least 5000 Of the men
In the crowd which made the Colon

The battalion of Colombian troops at
Panama favors the movement. which
is also thought to meet with the ap-

Should the revolution succeed the
way will be open for renewed negotta-
tons with the United States for the
