C FURNISHINGS.
Should Be Neat and Attractive Enough
to Worker Therein to Minister
to Her Content.

The value of attractive kitchen
utensils is not often appreciated.
Housewives give their servants bat
tered saucepans and tins, and expect
them to keep these spotless and to
take pleasure in cooking with them.
A servant doing kitchen work gener-
ally takes interest in it if she has
utensils in good condition to work
with. One actually enjoys washing
dishes in a brand-new dishpan.
If the kitchen itself is a neat, pic
taresque room with snowy curtains at
the windows. neatly oiled lloor, clean.
glazed paper on the walls n every
thing comfortable and convenient. al
most any servant will feel an inspira-
ton to keep it in hat condition.
In furnishing a kitchen one may,
on the other hand, make the mistake
of having too many utensils and too
many patented c~ontrivances. The av-
erage servant girl, who is only used
to the simplest and most ordinary
utensils at home, will invariably leave
the patented things on the shelf and
use any common makeshift.
Though the kitchen should be sim
ply furnished there is no reason why
the things a servant does use cannot
be picturesque and in good condition.
Nowadays there are many charming
mixing bowls, etc, in blue and white

shelves than the common ware, and
are often just as cheap.
1t is wise not to have too much
kitchen china for the servants to use
at mealtime. There should, of course.
be a sufficient supply, but if there are
too many to draw from the servants
will never report breakages to the
mistress, and it is said that some lazy
servants will not take the trouble to
wash their own dishes, but leave them
in some Out-of-the-way corner Of the
cupboard until the whole supply is
used
1t is sometimes asserted that because
a servant girl is a human being there
should be pictures, ETC., in the kitchen.
a nice rug on the floor and a screen be-
fore the stove or sink. Any expert
enced housekeeper knows, however,
that this is not practical, and no sensi-
BILE servant will be bothered with
things purely ornamental, always in
the way and always collecting lust or
grease. A kitchen is merely a work
shop. After working hours are over

GAMBLING IN THE OLD-TIME
When the Practice Formed a Part
Of High-Class Social
Existence.

Some of the old stories told of the
gaming tables can hardly be believed
nowadays, though they are related in
such a cool, matter-of-fact style by
writer's of the time as to show that in
centuries the practice formed a part
OF high-class social existence. Capt.
Gronow relates that, having been ap-
pointed to the staff of Gen. Picton, Who
was then starting for Brussels OS15),
he obtained 81 ,0G0 from the army
agents, which," he continues, Il took
with me to a gambling house in st.
James square. where | managed, by
some wonderful accident 20 win G600"
t$3,O00). With this sum he subse-
quently provided his necessary outfit.
When the allies marched into Paris
after the battle Of Waterloo Gronow
found the Palais Royal a hot-bed of
gambling-'the very heart of French
dissipation There were tables for
all classes; the workman might play
with 20 sous or the gentleman with
10000 francs. The law did not prevent
any class from INDUCING in a vice that
assisted to fill the Golfers of the NUM-
cipality of Paris" The English
visitors were not slow to participate in
the play, one officer of the guards OBJ
tanning leave of absence and never
quitting the Palais Royal till the time
came for his return to the regiment.
Large fortunes were often lost at
gambling IN hos days, the losers dis
appearing never more to be heard of.
Lord Thanet, for instance, who had an
income OF $500, 600 a year, lost every
farthing at play and, concludes Gro
now: 4 do not remember any instance
where those who spent their time in
this den did not lose all they possess

TO REDUCE ONES WEIGHT
No Matter How Much Avordupois One
Has Strict Attention to Diet Will
Lessen the Burden.

II you are anxious to get thinner, you
may indulge in good and appetizing
food to an unlimited extent, and yet. il
you obey the simplest rules, you will
steadily lose flesh. Indeed, the result
is beautifully certain. Would you, Tor
example, like to lose a pound and a half
in the first "a hours, one pound the next
day, and an average of three-quarters of
q pound thereafter? If SO, you have only
to follow these instructions:
Eat meat, any kind you want, and
plenty of it, but only the lean part. Eat
eggs, as many of them as you like. Eat
all the fruit you can stuff, barring only
bananas. Eat every vegetable, except
ing potatoes and corn. But cut out pas
try, bread and sweets.
You see, meat fat does not go to make
muscle or blood. Such Of it as is not con-
sumed as fuel is converted into fat in the
body. The same is true of sugar and of
wheat n the other cereal grains.
Therefore it is that these things must
be avoided, if one desires a shrinkage of
the belt. But it is an immense consola-
ton to be able to indulge ad libitum in
a diet sufficiently varied and at the same
time to lose flesh right along.
Nearly all vegetables. fortunately. are
mainly water, and water, OF course.
doesn't fatten. Beets, for example. and
carrots, celery, tomatoes, cauliflower.
cabbages, lettuce, ~cucumbers, eggplant
and turnips may be eaten to an unlim-
tied extent-a variety surely sufficient
Tor anybody. All fruits, except bananas,
are in the same category, and for this
reason a person threatened with over
plumpness may them in unre-
strlcted quantities. AS for meats (f
lean), as we'll as eggs, they are muscle
and blood makers, and could never con-
tribute fat to the most corpulently in
clined individual.

AN EXAMPLE IN FORESTRY
Pennsylvania Association Expert
ments with Burnt-Over
Tract of Land,

The PocOno Manor association of
Pennsylvania has 700 acres. covered
principally with a dense growth Of chest
nut and chestnut oak sprouts, which it
intends to improve by forestry. This
association has spent a large sum of
money in erecting buildings and i'm
proving the condition of its grounds for
the comfort and pleasure OF it's members
during the summer months. The tract
of land is On Little Pocono mountain.
about 20 miles north of Delaware Water
Gap, and is at present in a very bad
condition. It was numbered some 40
years age, and has been burnt over reri-
odically about once every four or five
years since then. It's present tree growth
is only brush from six to ten feet high
and not always that. Thinning must be
done, and also some planting in the bare
places.
The greatest need is protection from
fires. At the associations solicitation.
the bureau of forestry, early in 1903,
made plans for the improvement and
protection of the 700 acres. These plans
are now being put in operation. Their
special significance will be in showing
what can be done by forestry where az
and fire have done their worst in i'm
poverishment of both soil and timber
As very much of the country. not onl,
in that part of the state, but in mans
other regions of the east, shows the ef-
fects of the same evils. the reclamation
OF this tract of land will offer a splendid
object lesson, and should be encourage
ment for work of the same kind else
where.

Lemonade.

Pineapple lemonade is delicious to
serve at an evening party. 1t is remark
ably refreshing after dancing. Crate a
large pineapple and add to it the juice
of four lemons. Make a strip of a Flint
of sugar and a pint Of water. Boil the
strip, and when it is cool pour it over the
pineapple. Let it stand for several
hours, and then put in a punch bowl
with a large piece of ice, and add a sufi-
cient quantity OF water, aerated pre-
ferred.
