Ending of the Harvest

The period for shipping men TO the har-

labor agencies stiil have a greater demand
for men than they can NIL. Railroads can
not get enough men. and farm laborers are
scarce. A local labor agent says he could

The combination gas and coal range Is
one of the chief joys Of the modern kitchen.
II Is large, TO be sure-twice as large as
the ordinary gas range-but IL does not take
up as much room as a gas and a coal range
would. 1t is two distinct stoves built side
by side in one. the gas at the right and the
coal at the left end. The top is low and
each stove may have four or more holes.
Each has an oven below and the coal range
has broiler. Projecting from the metal
back over the coal range is a warming
oven, while beside II is the elevated broiler
of the gas range over the top of all is a
canopy or hood ventilator, which carries
off all the fumes and the steam arising
from the stove. From each of the ovens
and the broiler ample ventilating pipes
connect with the hood, and by this means
the kitchen is relieved OF all the odor,
smoke and the more or less greasy steam
incidental to II. Ventilation, Is further
aided by that accompanying the house
heating plant, while some Of the smaller
kitchens have an electric fan that draws
OFF the heat and another fan that pro-
vides a draft.

The kitchen cabinet is one of the marvels
of the uninitiated and has the virtue of
being handsome piece of furniture as we'll
as a practical convenience. II is this tri-
umph in the cabinet makers art that has
usurped the function Of the oid-time pantry.
Below, It is fitted with -four, meal and
sugar bins. some of them even having q
sitter built in the bin which accommodates
fifty pounds Of flour. A moulding board
that slides In out Of the way when not in
use,. and like board for general use,
takes the place Of the old table. Another
compartment provides for all the cooking
utensils, while behind the doors above are
rows and rows of little earthenware Jars
Just the right size and all labeled for every
kind of spice, for coffee. tea and every
thing else that one needs.
The refrigerator is one OF the most costly
and important features of the model house.
Preferably, 1t is built In the house and In
an apartment opening off the kitchen. This
takes the place of the old-time cellar, the
ordinary refrigerator and several other
things. The ice is deposited from the out
side and It trains into the sewer, thus
e. mating several nuisances. OF course
1t is very large-if the needs OF the so-,ily
require. Its details differ according to its
make. but usually 1t is lined with heavy
plate glass differently treated. This makes
perfect sanitation possible 1t is provided
with numerous compartments. so arranged
that such things as are susceptible to the
odor Of other things may be stored without
danger OF contamination. There are deep
dry boxes for cold storage and another
compartment for wines and the like.
AS for the utensils used about this model
Kitchen, they leave little to be desired.
The old-time iron kettle is seldom seen. and
only for pot roasts and a very few other
uses. Tin things are also of the past, with
very few exceptionS and in their place
has come the porcelain lined or earthenware
vessels The danger OF chipping enamel
that at first made the enamelware doubtful
has been largely overcome by the use of
heavier metal for the body OF the vessel.
This does not jam or bend easily and il is
when the vessel is bent that the enamel
chips on. Almost every utensl used about
the kitchen now is porcelain or enamel
lined, while aluminium has taken the place
of the iron things formerly used on the
stove.
or course all these things are expensive
and so not within the reach of all, but they
are to be had in a model kitchen, and per-
lection necessarily comes high

IN OSCAR A PROMOTER or PEACE.
BY the courtesy Of the American Minister,
Col. Graves, | had an opportunity to pay
my respects to King Oscar II. l was glad
to do so for two reasons; first, because 40
many Of his former subjects have become
American citizens; and second, because OF
the honorable part which he played in the
recent crisis which resulted IN the sspara-
ton Of Sweden and Norway.
He is Of powerful frame, and, though II
years old, would pass for q much younger
man. He has a kindly face and rides about
the city without a guard. Amore ambitious
monarch would nave met NOrway's demand
with armed resistance, but he, recognizing
that the holding Of Norway against the
will Of the people would involve his country
in perpetual strife, advocated q peaceful
separation, provided the people Of Norway
asked for il in unmistakable terms.
For thirty years he had been the sov
ereign OF both, and in his old age he could
not bear TO see the two countries engaged
in a bloody conflict. He is Just now criti-
cised by some who did not become san
culinary until all prospect Of war was past.
but he has the consolation Of knowing that
his critics are not only alive but have no
dead relatives TO mourn. Had he plum ged
his country into war his critics could re-
mind him Of vacant chairs at the fireside.
King Oscar has In . most practical way
proved himself to be . promoter Of peace
and az such deserves the prize provided
by that great Swedish chemist, Alfred
Nobel. BY giving conspicuous approval
to his course the trustees Of the Nobel fund

FINNISH AUTONOMY.
We could not help noticing the contrast
between the market OF Helsingfors INC
those which we visited in Asia. At the
former neatly dressed peasants, men and
women, exposed Tor sale from the end Of
their carts a bountihl supply Of vegetables,
meats, butter, eggs aud cheese.
The eggs were stamped with the name
OF the owner and the date Of laying, the
butter was packed in wooden buckets of
various sizes and the cheese was Of many
varieties. Some Of the carts we're filed
with STACKS Of black bread baked in large
fat cakes.
The radishes presented a temptation that
I was not able to withstand; the fondness
for them, restrained during the months Of
travel through the Orient, overCame me,

outlay Of nbout five cents and lived high

The Firms are rejoicing over the autonomy
recently secured. and they have signalized
their partial independence by creating a
single par Elementary body whose repre-
sentatives are elected by the entire popu-
lation, male and female, above the age OF
"a. No one can understand the persistency
with which the Firms have struggled for
constitutional government without recalling
that as a part OF Sweden their country long
enjoyed the right TO representation in the
nations councils.
The people have always resented Russian
methods, and only 4 few years ago the
Governor-Gener sent from Sc. Petersburg
was assassinated by n young Finn who,
having thus given expression to his nations
hatred OF despptisn, Immediately took
his own life. The death OF the Governor
was followed by the suspension Of such few
privileges as the people had been enjoying,
but when last year the whole OF Russia
seemed about to rise In rebellion the Car

been made of the water power with which
the country abounds, notably at Norrkop-
ing, where an industrial exposition Ia now
in progress.
THE COUNTRY's PRODUCTS SHOWN.
We spent a day at this exposition for
the purpose Of gathering information in
regard to industrial Sweden. While the
agricultural display was not ready, the
exhibit OF the products Of the factory was
exceedingly interesting.
The articles shown included metal work
Of all kinds and varieties, from heavy ma
chinery to parlor ornaments. In one acc
ton canned fruits were displayed, in an
other great rolls OF linOleum and oilcloth,
and in still another textile fabrics. Tho
cloth was especially worthy OF notice, be-
ing Of superior quality and Of every shade
and color

work OF peasants and students. These
included many varieties Of needle work.
wood carving and decoration on leather
and bark.
Peasant girls In native costume presided
over these displays n gave the visitor q
glimpse Of the picturesque garb now fast
disappearing before the prosaic dress Of
the cities. At Skansen, in the suburbs Of
Stockholm, and at a few Of the enterprising
stores this quaint costume may still be
seen, but IL is not generally worn now even
in the country.

Sweden was a pioneer in the matter OF
universal education and has at Upsala

The fact that she had such an abundant

be due the fact that Sweden was quick

years attached bis " name to Il. From
tho top Of 1--WE mountain he got his best
view OF Il, and he tells why no did not at"
