EVOLUTION OF THE KITCHEN.
Rapid Progress Made In conven-
fences In Recent Years.

The evolution of the modern
kitchen is just as interesting story
as that of the evolution of any other
feature of present day life in enlight-
ened countries.
1t has come straight from the out
door fire, just as modern dress has
evolved from the blanket and loin.
cloth of the savage.
When the Romans invaded Britain
they found the inhabitants living in
one room, partially underground.
The cooking. however, was done
mainly in the open air, as a matter
of convenience. When it was done
in the house the smoke and odor
escaped through hole in the roof, as
it does in the huts of savages today.
One of the greatest, most civilizing
and most elegant inventions ever
made was the fireplace, which
brought the first semblance Of mod
ern decency, neatness and comfort
into the home. The fireplace seems
very old fashioned, yet the mother of
the present writer, not very aged
woman, can remember when the. first
stove was brought into her home in
Northern Vermont.
Later, as a young married woman,
she possessed one of the first three
lamps brought into st. Lawrence
County, N. Y.
1t was the middle ages before the
kitchen had been raised to the dig
nifty of an established apartment
Strange doings went ON in those me-
diaevel kitchens. Butchers slaught-
cred animals there, which were skin
ned and dressed, as well as cooked,
in the kitchen. The family black
smith kept his fire there. and repair
ed the ploughs and wheels Of the
estate.
Coal began to be used as kitchen
| fuel in 1245, though not generally for
two hundred years after. The oven
did not come into use until the year
400, and then it was the old fashion
ed brick oven, which persisted for
hundreds of years. The stove, when
invented, took the place Of the separ-
ate oven and the fireplace. with its

wondered why there was so deep a

The captain bowed, taking the
paper in silence; but he had turned
deadly pale He read his doom in the
dangerous glitter of her eyes. 1t was
the grand, old philosophy of Swift.
Out here Tchehatchief was all power
full, but, beside the name and pres

become very pigmy. Then they told
her that Seliedof was, indeed, dead.
Ellis body shall be buried in his
native place. she said. Take the
poor lady to my carriage, and bid my
women sea to her."
AS Nariskine turned away there
were tears in her bright, blue eyes.
Happily, poor Nadia had swo@ned
away, and was unconscious of all that
passed.
From that day she remained with
the Princess Nariskine as her friend.
and when she recovered from a long
and painful white-haired, a
prematurely old woman now, a sad
emblem of Russian tyranny-it was
a mercy that her memory was
blank; a peaceful present and future;
but her happy wifehood, her terrible
journey, the Cars pardon that came
too late-all, all blotted out forever!

IN PLACE or SHOE HORNS.

You've seen the girl who is at the
mercy of a shoe horn. says the Phila-
delphia Bulletin. If she has lost or
forgotten her own, she goes from
room to room. seeking to beg. Dor
row or steal one, as If a pair of slip
pers might not actually be gotten on
without a shoe horn.
Now, here is a pointer for her. II
you can't get shoe horn. use a
spoon. That is what college girls
do. and they find it just as clonven-
lent as the article designed for that
purpose.
Not a teaspoon. but tablespoon.
Put the handle into the heel Of a
slipper and use 1t just as you do
a shoe horn. When the shoe is on.
the spoon handle really comes out
easier than shoe horn.
OF course. this Is merely substi-
tute. but If there doesn't happen to
be shoe horn around. it's handy to
know about the useful spoon.

RAG CARPET REVIVED.

And still another old fashion Is be-
ing revived. There has been return
to favor of old clocks and bedsteads,
tables and chairs and wall papers,

accessory to an old fashioned house
that has not had it's counterpart put
upon the modern market, with very
often a pretty story attached to prove
1t an heirloom.
There is one thing, however, that
until very recently has remained In
the oblivion to which it was consign-
ed years ago. With all the fad for
things old fashioned. the homely but
serviceable rag carpet was not res
directed until short time ago, when
an enterprising manufacturer made

When that is done trains will run from that point to Sedg wick, then on the main line of the Frisco here. The mule line from here to Walnut Ridge will have a fine new car run by a a gasoline motor and will be operated by the Cache Valley Company in connection with that road. It is the general opinion that the Frisco line is interested in the enterprise of the Culvers, it will be a big thing for HoXie.
