cluded. In the meantime the use of
electricity for illumination in dwelling
continues to grow, and here and there
the service is enlarged by the addi-
ton of electric pressing irons for small
pieces of laundry or an experimental
electric stove.
They take UP scarcely any room,
these electric stoves, for the smallest
are no larger than a medium-sized
plate. They range from to Is inches
in diameter and stand on a base of
slate or upon three porcelain legs,
according to the type. The largest are
used for griddle irons. There is a spe-
cial size made for travelling. 1t con-

as tincun, with folding handles, and
in the utensil may be slipped the lit

the lid is placed over all. In a hotel.
on steamship or in an electric-lighted
Pullman the tourist can make the cleo
trio connection in a jiffy and have
hot water in five minutes. Men who
are on the road constantly have taken
eagerly to these portable stoves-they
are an unspeakable luxury when hot
water Is needed in a hurry for shay
Ing. Women who are touring can
make a cup of tea. boil eggs or pre-
pare toast in this fashion without in
convenience.
In ones own home the contrivances
for electric cooking are seen at their
best. There are hot water urns, plate
warmers, baking ovens. teapots, fry
ing kettles, waffle irons, broilers, chat
ing dishes and in short every utensil
that is used over a coal fire or gas
range. For kitchen use the various
apparatus are substantially built. but

switch she is heating the water, while
conversation with her guests goes on
uninterruptedly-eve so much better
than those awkward pauses which oc-

tory alcohol lamp.
The electric chatting dish makes the

do not have to jump up and strike

BY some it is claimed that electrical

of the controversy about fried foods.
In the electric frying pan an attempt
has been made, by consulting with au-

THE WOMAN WHO DROPS IN.

One nuisance, says the New York
Sun, that modern customs have done
away with and that promises to be-
come extinct in cities is the person.
man or woman, who makes a habit of
dropping i'll to call on a friend of an
acquaintance at all sort of hours. with
out regard for the engagements or
duties of the one visited.
In villages and in towns, where life
is not so filed up with the duties i'm
posed on persons socially active in New
York, 1t is perhaps possible that per-
sons may welcome the occasional dron-
perrin, but in this city it argues
fine and we'll developed selfishness in
the woman who, because she may have,
an hour or two to kill. at once argues
that some nearby acquaintance must
necessarily welcome visit from her.
People who dwell in houses are, of
course, protected by their servants
from these unexpected visits. Flat
jewellers are the principal victims AZ
the bore who assumes that she must
be welcome at whatever hour she NAV
happen to have the leisure to present
herself.
So pronounced has this form of
friendly intrusion become, that in most
of the well managed apartment houses
visitors are not permitted to ascend
the elevators unless their names are
first sent up. A receiving day, indi-
Gated on a card means that on that
day the presence OF friends is expect
ed and provided for, but the indiscrirn-
mate caller, who takes chances of dis
turbing a dinner party, or perhaps a.
family quarrel, presumes on friend
ship.
Such people are aften heard lament
ing the inhospitality of cities, but the
fact is they mark themselves at once
as undesirable acquaintance when
they choose their hours for visiting
with reference only to their own con-
venience and pleasure.

TROLLEY H0NEYMOONS.

Near-Chicago towns, says the Chi
cago Tribune, have broken all records
in the matter of marriages during this
much of the year, 1904. In Rockford
during the ten months up to Nov. 1.
there had been 631 marriages. In the
same period in 1903 there were 564. and
in 1902, 400.
The electric railways are In a meas

The town is now connected with Chi

near-Chicago territory.

age. Rockford minister relates that
recently Wisconsin young man gave
up his last dime to be married in his
parlor. He had saved enough to carry
himself and bride back home on the
trolley line. But 10 cents of his store
of cash remained. He apoloeized Ia the
minister for his not being able to Of

DIVORCE AND OCCUPATION.

There has always been lower per-
centage of divorces among men en-
gagged in agricultural pursuits, says the
Baltimore American, than in any other
calling, not excepting the clergy. Sol
dlers, sailors and marines. on the 9TH
err extreme, show the highest average
OF marriage infelicity. Next among
the high averages come the hostlers.

tenders, servants and walters. musi-

raphers, paper hangers, BARRIERS, lum-
bermen, and so on. diminishing in ra-

as before stated, among the farmers.

WOMEN AND THE RACE TRACK.

One day at Aqueduct racetrack, says
the New York Sun, recently an old
woman attracted attention by falling
into a state of collapse when Pirate
Polly. a favorite. was beaten. 1t
turned out that she had wagered her
last 50 on the filly and was penniless.
She had been a daily visitor at the
racetracks all the season, betting mod
erately at times, and then heavily, but
misfortune had followed her relentless
ly, and she finally was beaten. A de-
tective who helped to revive the wom-
an, whom he had known for years, told
this story OF her career:
"She was once the wife OF a mer-
chant in Brooklyn said he. "They
were rich. and their children were
well educated.

day with a party OF friends. and got

loser. but she kept on, and before
the season was over she had recovered
her losses and was $4,000 ahead OF

Grit for Fowls.

There is nothing so essential to the
health of a fowl of any kind as grit Of
some kind. Fowls on a range are sup
posed to get all the grit that is neces-
sary for them. and they can subsist.
but 1t will be found economical to give
them some better grit than thew can
pick up on the range. Most Of the
substance on range is of a smooth ma
ture to begin with and consequently
does not have the grinding power. Any
thing that has sharp edges will do even
to glass, but there are grits like tha
mica and others that are cheap and
reliable II to our mind much the best
to use. Crushed oyster and clam shells
give good results. but the greatest fault
to find with them is the shortness of
time In use. The juice OF the gizzard
softens them too quickly and their
work is done. Old crockery or Queens
ware pounded up is good. For fowls in
confinement some kind Of grit is cs.
sent!al and the probabilities. are that
this kind Of stock are better prepared
with grit than almost ay other. AS the
grit is the teeth Of the chick, it will
be seen how necessary it is for their
and health. Get a hunderd

Emperor William as a Smoker.

Leslie's Weekly: The German emperor
has now taken to the smoking Of a most
elaborate pipe. with specially prepared
Havana. This marks a great advance on
the mild cigaret with which he COM

he crept to equally mild strawscolored
cigars, of Dutch make. costing a penny.
though these he INDUCED in only at the
close of the day. His present habit he
has inherited from his father, who was q

cigars toward the end Of his life, and no

smoked nor snuffed. although the latter
habit was adopted by Frederick the Great.

that, in his rage at being refused, he at
tempted his life tina he might be re-
venged on her and escape his creditors.
