THE IDEAL KITCHEN.

The ideal kitchen should have large
windows, through which plenty of
light and fresh air can enter. It
should have an oiled hardwood floor OIL
one covered with linoleum. Oilcloth
will not answer the same purpose.
LinOleum is a warm floor covering,
and, though not SO bright as oilcloth,
it is much more durable. The walls
may be painted, they may be papered
with enamelled tile paper, or they may
be whitened or Whitewashed The old
fashioned whitewashed wall has a
great deal to commend it. The white
wash acts as a disinfectant and thor
Oughly purifies the WALL each time it
is applied; but it can scarcely be re-
neWed Oftener than once year, and
cannot be cleaned except by a fresh
coat A painted wall can be scrubbed,
but this is laborious process, and is
not likely to be attended to as often
as necessary. But wall papered with
enamelled tile paper can be washed off
as frequently as necessary with clean
cold water and does not have to be
revarnished often. Enamelled paper
does not absorb odors or smoky mois-
ture as ordinary paper does, and, next
to the tiles themselves, which, of
course, make the ideal kitchen wall,
but are too expensive for ordinary
houses, is the best wall covering for
a kitchen. Some housewives object
to enamelled tile paper on. the ground
that it is an imitation of the genuine
tiled wall, and that limitations are in
bad taste. But, while there is reason
in this view, the enamelled paper is
SO clean and wholesome. and so much
better than anything else that it seems
to be the only thing to be considered
for the average kitchen. Enamelled
paper can be procured in designs that
do not resemble tiles very closely, and
some of them are most artistic. New

A KITCHEN CABINET.

Those who have small kitchens will
find kitchen cabinet very convenient.
If you find them too expensive, get the
husband or son who is handy with
tools to fill the space under the kit
chen table with drawers and shelves
for holding the rolling pin, spice box,
soda, salt mixing spoon, kitchen
knives and various other things that
you have been trying to find place
for. The shelves may be protected
from the dust by a curtain or door.
Now cover the top with tin, and you
will find it one Of the most useful ar

STAINED FLOORS.

Floors that are stained and ciled are
easily kept clean.. The material costs
very little and anybody can apply it.
For an oak stain, take raw sienna, add
little umber to it and mix with half
a pint of linseed oil and quart Of tur-
pentine. A tablespoonful of Japan
dryerSput in the turpentine will make
it dry quickly. Apply with clean
paint brush and give it two coats if
one does not make it dark enough.
After the floor is stained give it a
coat of linseed oil. If the oil is reap
piled once year the floor will always
look we'll.

The Star OF Empire

Quite little OF the campaign |

among papers supporting
Mitchell is in the lire of ridicule
about the country west o.
Tierre. The broad statement
is made in several Of these
papers that that section never
will be s-ttle up by actual resi-
dents who will make use Of lttor
homes for their families, and de-
velop it as the country lying
east of the Missouri river now
is. That is certainly a very mar
row view to take in the face OF
all the h story of this country
and people, who have gradually
but steadily rushed westward,
and subdued the wilds OF nature
to mans use ulness and proht.
That country is not materially
different from other sections OF
the state. 1t was only a very
few years ago when the people
of Iowa and M nnesota said
with great confidence thatSouth
Dakota was Of little account.
And for awhile they very nearly
proved it. But the states his
tory for the past SIX years
has so thoroughly disproven
such a statement that it is no
longer heard. Then an imagin-
ary line of good and bad was
made of the Sioux Falls river.
Nothing west of that stream
was worth having. But the
march of progress soon pushed
the line to the i'm river, and now
it has forged on westward to
the Missouri. This is actual ex'
perience, bitterly realized for
years by the people all through
this section Of the state, where
we worked and labored in silent
determination to make it pro-
ductive, and relieve it from the
prejudice of counties and states
lying east of us.
Slowly, but none the less sure
ly, this prejudice is being over
come by our happy homes ane
prosperous people, until those
who formerly looked upon this
section in disgust are now seek

has improvised a liturgy, which includes

spvct to Tibet Being a dependency of
China. the fate of Tibet is of consider
able Importance. especially to America,
not because Americans have any inter-
ests OF value in that country. but because
its acquisition by any power would mean
violation of the principle of the integ-
tity of China, which is the keynote of
Secretary Hays far-eastern policy, to
which Great Britain has given adher-
euCe.
Mr.. Hay. therefore has watched with
the closest attention the British treat
ment of the Tfbetan question and II is

deIcately presented the possible bearing
OF the British military procedure on Chi
Hese integrity.
II Is understood that the British gov

purpose regarding Tibetan territory re-
1teratlng that IT has no intention to per-
manently occupy Tibet, and that Grea t

Tibetan Villages Assaulted by British.

night says: The armistice between Colonel
Younghusband and the Tibetan military
representatives expired at noon today. The
Tibetans made no overture whatever, and
General Macdonald thereupon began pro-

noon a demonstrate against the village
west of the monastery was successfully
carried out. The resistance OF the Tibetans
came chiefly from the encircling wall of the
monastery.
The real attack will be developed an hour
before dawn tomorrow by three columns
operating on the houses at the foot of the
eastern slope of Jong. The task before our
troops is rendered difficult owing to the
dense massing of the houses of the town.
