A bride who is going housekeeping
should not delegate purchasing kitchen
utensils to others on the theory that
they are TOO insignificant for her to
look after Every really good house
keeper knows what her kitchen has or
lacks, and with the knowledge she is
likely to have better service from her
cook Moreover. unless she has a good
quality of tins and earthenware she can
not have good food, for frequently much
has TO do with the mixing and baking.
Many girls who are going housekeep-
ing are entirely inexperienced In what
constitutes kitchen supplies, or what
are the best kind. and those will be
vastly assisted by the clerk from whom
the purchasing is done. Any department
store or kitchen furnishing shop will as
sign one of their most experienced clerks
if a customer will frankly say that she
does not know what is required but
wants a full equipment. And however
much one woman may know, it is a wise
proceeding to go occasionally into such
place and ask for the new things.

Pots and Pans.
An error made by young housekeepers
is to buy cheap quality of tins. Pans

A NEEDED IMPROVEMENT.

One of the improvements in railroad travel that is earnestly wished for and hopefully looked for Is the proper ven- tilatton of cars. There have been SO many improvements in tracks and roll- ing stock within even a quarter of a century that 1t seems as if this might eventually come. As all know who travel in the summer the passenger must take his choice between a close, hot car and being enveloped by smoke, dust and cinders. If the windows and doors are closed the passengers are almost stifed, and if they are left open the fine cinders. dust and smoke fill the eyes, hair and clothing. It is a choice between two evils. and not much advantage in either. Men have worked at this problem for years. but if they have solved 1t the public gets no ad- vantage from the solution. A venti- lator which will exclude cinders and dust, as well as unpleasant drafts. and at the same time ensure proper venti- lation is what is required. and what has not been found.
 When the time comes. as 1t seems

FISH AND FIGHTING.

Have the Japanese established the superiority of fish as a steady diet for fighting men? If not, to what shall we their fighting qualities? In America and In England beef and bacon are con- sidered the proper diet for soldiers in the field. and the belief has been that they owed much of their reputation to such liberal use of animal food. With almost totally lacking. Their diet has been almost exclusively composed of dried saltwater fish, and certainly no fault can be found with their health, courage and endurance. No army has surpassed theirs in all that goes to make up an efficient soldiery.
 How is this seeming anomaly to be explained? The physiologists tell us that certain articles of diet have a certain effect on human beings, but can they figure out the exact, or even the approximate, effect that fish or beef will have on the resolution? If they can do this they may be able to tell us whether eating fish makes good sol- diers of the Japanese. or whether there are other causes. If 1t is the fish 1t will be lesson to other nations. Fish, when dried. is a compact and easily carried ration, and 1t can be produced cheaper than beef or pork. If it can be shown that 1t is better for the army 1t may produce a change in the com- missary department of nations. True, we must bear in mind that rice is also a staple ration with the Japanese, and that may have something to do with it. Whatever may be the speculative or theoretical explanation the fact re- mains that a nation of excellent sol diers subsists almost entirely on fish and rice.

CONDITIONS ON THE rsrHMUs.

Whether it Is due to the great army of the unemployed. or to the American longing for novelty, or to the longing for easy places. or whatever may be the cause. 1t is stated as fact that more than 5o,oo0 persons have thus far made application for places in the canal job. It is an equally noteworthy fact that most of the applications are for places which do not require manual labor. For example, among the ap- pointments already made there are 379 copyists, 332 timekeepers, 1s0 surgeons, 254 physicians and so on through all grades except men to do the work. Steam shovellers get nearly $50 per week, yet there is a dearth of applica- tions for the job.
 Meantime, General Davis makes some lively representations about the dis satisfaction and homesickness among those already on the Isthmus, even among those holding good positions. There is another thing in one of his reports that is worthy of note, and that is his comments on the "kickers" who are quite busy. He says if these men can get the newspapers and writers over here to take up their complaints and encourage them it will create public sentiment in the United States which will bring its remedy of lavish salaries. short hours. free transporta- tion and prodigal allowances"
 That, in our judgment, will consti- tute one of the annoyances and draw backs connected with this great under taking. It will be looked on by many as an unequalled opportunity for graft, just as the De Lesseps job was. There are so many people who look on the Government as a COW to be milked, and who are always ready to do the milk ing to fill their own pails. that Gen. eral Davis's fears are not ill-founded. Easy hours and big salaries, with rake- offs whenever they can be managed will be the thing most desirable and most looked after.
 That there is dissatisfaction existing is not to be wondered at. Those who have obtained places have discovered
 
 roses scattered along it. They do not find the associations, pleasures and conveniences they enjoyed at home, but on the contrary are subject to rumer- ous discomforts and privations of which they had no apprehension or pre- monition. They expected to find sort of paradise. but have found quite a different spot. That many of tkese causes of complaint will eventually be removed is doubtless true. Sanitary and health conditions will be improved, better accommodations will be pro- vided, batter society will follow and better opportunities be afforded for the men to find recreation and enjoy ment. All this will come. but at pres ent the man who goes there with the expectation of having a good and easy time is likely to be disappointed.

bound to come. that electricity will take the place of steam for the pro- pulsion of trains one of the most dif- ficult points of the problem will be solved. If we get rid of steam power we will be rid of cinders, dust and smoke. and they are the worst foes to comfort on passenger cars. When that is done 1t will be strange if a system of ventilation cannot be devised which will make railroad travelling pleasant and comfortable. We see no hope for such a condition while coal Is used, highly as we esteem the inventive genius of this age of improvement.

When it comes to useful articles the corn of old Kentucky is no slouch. Besides all that is wasted for bread--as one old Kentuckian expressed it-and for stock feeding. all the world knows the fluid that is manufactured from it, and even that isn't all, for now we are informed that an excellent article of genuine maple syrup is made from Kentucky corn-cobs. It is surely a valuable product.

A court at Wichita, Kas., made A good start towards suppressing Mrs. Nation. but the soft-hearted Judge Spoiled its effect. She and two other women. presumably of the same brand, put on raid, smashed the handsome plate-glass window of saloon, that being one of Carries favorite amuse- ments. For this offence Carrie was Convicted and sentenced to pay a fine of s45O, and four months in jail, but the sentence was suspended "during good behavior" That was little bet ter than a farce. The only way to deal with such lawless characters is to lock them up and keep them there un- til some of their lawlessness is sub nued. The fact that she IS a woman ought to have no bearing in a case like hers, for she is confirmed lawbreaker and should be treated as such. Some day a man as lawless as she is will put an end to her career in protecting his property, and then it will be too late to teach her the common rules of honesty and good behavior.

Perhaps the hurried trial and conviction was because of fear of a mob. but whatever may have been the cause 1t was no credit to the court that permitted it. As our contemporary says 1t was worse than a Iynching, for all who know anything of courts and court proceedings know that 1t is inn possible to give a prisoner a fair trial in such brief time.
