kitchen, which accounts for the fact
that the majority Of useful kitchen ar
ticles invented are the ideas Of wom-
en-. A Nebraska woman has added
another one to the list in the heating
contrivance shown here, which is
adapted to be placed upon stove for
heating irons or for other purposes
where a heat-retaining device could
be used. It consists of two similar
sections hinged in the
center, the tops being provided with
openings or perfora tons and the lower
edge being formed with a supporting
rim or flange. From this construction
it will be observed that the device
when closed and placed upon the stove
forms heat-retaining means particu-
larly useful in heating irons. A ket-
tie or other cooking utensil can also be
placed upon the top, the irons and the
kettle being heated at the same time.
To permit the ready opening or clos
ing of either Of the sections cleats are
attached to each section and operated
by means Of an implement similar to
poker. In this way there is no dan
ger Of burning the hands. 1t will be
evident that such device would re-
tain vast amount Of heat.

guests. In the ordinary table the leaves
used to lengthen the table are inserted
In the center Of the table, but in this
device the leaves can be placed at
either end. To accomplish this the end
rails are attached to guide bars, which
slide in and out on groove formed on
the under side Of the stationary top of
the table. An arrangement Is provid-
ed for bracing and reinforcing the
guide bars that is thoroughly effective
for the purpose, and will prevent any
sagging Of the added leaves when In
use. Instead Of keeping the center
leaves stored away in the closet they
are placed on supports at the end OF
the table, and when wanted can be
readily procured. This in itself is an
advantage over the ordinary extension
table, saving time and labor in hunt
ing and hauling the extra leaves from
the storeroom. 1t Is evident also that
the withdrawal Of the extension would
not require so much eXertion as Is
necessary in separating other extension
tables.

Sauerkraut Press.

An Indiana man has patented an
improvement in sauerkraut presses
which holds the sauerkraut in SUBJ
merged condition under the brine, in
which it should be. kept in order to
keep it from spelling by the access of
air. The common practice heretofore
in making sauerkraut has been to
place board upon the kraut and a
weight, such as large stone, upon
the board, but this has not been salts
factory where the frequent access to
the kraut is required on account Of
the inconvenience in lifting the weight
out OF the receptacle, but more be-

moved. By the use of the kraut press
shown here, the kraut mass can be
leveled up, and the apparatus then
used to press the kraut below the
brine. This Is obtained by means Of
a lever, and the pressure retained by
locking the lever in any position. The
press Is readily removable for access
to the kraut, and those portions which
are wet with brine when removed can
be placed in position to drain into the
barrel, the dotted lines in the illustra-
ton showing the position when the
press is removed. A circular head Is
attached to the ends Of the plunger,
made Of two pieces, the head being
made to fit into the barrel or other re-
ceptacle. The lever is pivoted between
the plunger bars, perforations in both
the lever and the plunger bars afford
ing justification. Chains are suspend
ed from each end Of the lever, and con-
meet with hooks in the sides Of the
barrel. Any desired pressure can be
retained by locking the lever in any
position required by catching a CORE
spending link Of the chain under the
hook. When the head is removed and
hung over the top Of the barrel the
contents so removed will, therefore,
drain into the barrel.

PENNSYS BIG TREE.
White Oak, 33 Feet in Circumference.
Spread of 116 Feet.

Spread of ITO Feet.
Prof. j. Il. Rothrock of the depart
ment of botany at the University OF
Pennsylvania and until recently state
commissioner of forestry, in an article
in the Forest Leaves, the publication
Of the Pennsylvania Forestry assocla-
ton, gives the measurements OF giant
white oak which he says is, SO far as
he knows, the largest Of it's kind grow
Ing III Pennsylvania.
The tree, which is near Kutztown,
Berks county, says the Philadelphia
Bulletin, has an estimated height OF
rs feet inches and measures In Its
greatest spread 1O4 feet. At the
ground its circumference is 81 feet;
four feet higher the circumference is
10 feet 10 inches, and at six feet it
spans Is feet inches. This mammoth
tree is Of remarkable symmetry and
beauty.
There is, however, a still larger
white oak growing almost within the
limits of the city Of Philadelphia,
probably known to only a few Of the
thousands Of residents in its vicinity.
According to measurements made by
Marklay Wilson Of Thomas avenue,
West Philadelphia, who was assisted
by Prof. Waldo of the University of
Pennsylvania, this tree reaches a
height, found by triangulation. of nine
ty feet The branches have a spread
Of Ill feet from north to south and
of 115 feet from east to west. At the
ground the circumference is thirty
three feet; at four feet, twenty three
feet; and at six feet the still greater
circumference of twenty-three feet six
inches. Careful examination points
to the age Of this monarch Of the for
est primeyal as about 700 years. I'm
like the tree at Auiztown, which is
hollow, this one is sound There is a
tradition that under It's sweeping

two stumps Of great size, one an oak
and the other a gum.
The tree Is in Yeadon township,
Delaware county, just across Cobb's
creek, at the city line and north of
Mount Moriah cemetery.
By way of comparison it is interest
ing to mention the famous cypress
in Bartram gardens, with which most
Philadelphians are familiar. This
tree, according to the legend, was
brought from Florida in his saddle
bags by John Bartram, the friend of
Franklin, in the year 1892. 1t is now
dead, but its size, which approaches
that Of these huge oaks, illustrates
the much more rapid growth of the
cypress.

murmured Alvira as she pulled the
weeds from her pansy bed. "I'll go
this minute, for those clouds mean
rain, and it will send the plants right
along" Dropping her trowel she
opened her front gate and was soon on
her way to Deacon Barrows just
around the corner, a few steps from
her cottage
"I'll go in the kitchen door, for

kitchen. AS she observed that the
sitting room door was partly open, she
paused, undecided whether to rap and
call to Mrs Barrows, when suddenly
6he heard the Deacon say:
"Oh, Lord, Thou knowest that we
are poor; am laid up with sprained
ankle, unable to work, and our larder
is empty-only loaf of bread and a
little tea. Dear Father, come to our
rescue. Verify Thy promise: Before

In bold relief the old house stands against the hill
The cattle crowd about the pasture bars;
The golden is sinking to rest,
The blue smoke plays among the silvery stars.
The fowls are going slowly, one by one, to roost,
The swallows chase each other through the air.
The old dog barks in puppish playfulness,'
The laugh Of happy childhood everywhere
The old horse plods his way along the narrow path
Bearing his master from field Of toll
Their work well done, they've fully earned their rest
These faithful tillers Of the virgin soil.
The farmer whistles he goes about his work.
His conscience cear-his nature free from guilei
The mother in the kitchen doorway stands
To welcome each newcomer with smile.
