were in session all day there trying TO
decide ON n policy to be pursued ut the
conference with the anthracite opera

the miners were divided into two
wings with the radical backing John
Mitchell IN his argument that the min

the coal range had done duty for our
washing and ironing. Then We used
a gas range for six years. though we
used a coal stove for wash days. The
, common objection existed as to the
heat from the stove during the hot
days and the taking of many steps
/. from the stove TO the ironing board, 1t
being natural TO get as far away
from the stove as possible. TO avoid
the fumes and heat. 1t cost from nine
to fifteen cents for the coal consumed.
The electric iron mas now been used
, by us for twenty-six months, and rep
resents a most popular article. II
costs about S3.15 10 purchase, the
ironing is finished more quickly AMI
handled more comfortably on a hot
day; it saves steps. and the operat-
ing cost for the same work is about
twelve cents. In our experience with
electrical devices. the coal range con
tinued to be necessary until super
seeded by a special electric wash
boiler. This was twelve cents per
week, or forty-eight cents per month
more expensive than the coal range.
The latest and best arrangement. how
ever. is the washing machine oper-
ated by an electric motor which we
are about to install"
The Hillman house will not long
be the only one of It's Klnu Others
are being built and additional eiectrI-
cal contrivances are being invented
almost every day. Among the latest
of these time, labor and dirt-saving
devices are the electrical refrigerat-
ing machine and the furnace regula-
tor.
The refrigerator attachment is an
automatic affair which will keep down
the temperature in the ice box to any
degree, for the motor starts to work
as soon as the thermometer in the re-
frigerator gets above a certain point.
The furnace regulator is also devised
to keep the temperature at fixed
point, by opening and closing hampers
as the rooms get too cold or too hot.
A thermometer and again the electric
current are the implements by which
this feat of domestic wizardry is per-
formed.
