NATURAL KITCHENS.

Boiling Springs.

Places Where Cooking II Done In
Boiling Springs.
There are one or two countries-lce-
land, for example-where washday Is
not dreaded, because nature provides
the hot water at ones very door in the
shape of steaming springs of spouting
geysers. But there is only one country
where the native women do practically
all their cooking by unaided nature,
and that is the North island Of New
Zealand Here is a wonderland Of a
thousand square miles so volcanic that
a fire may be lighted by inserting a
few sticks in the earth, and wherever
one makes hole he speedily has pool
Of boiling water, into which pudding
may be lowered incased in a cloth and
cooked expeditiously.
Frequently in perfectly cold streams
boiling hot current may be seen and
felt running along the edge Of the
river, and here the Maori women do
their own and the white mans wash
ing. Naturally the volcanic region Of
New Zealand is a dangerous country to
wander in without guide, and many
tourists have lost their lives as the re-
suit Of such carelessness. Maori serv-
ants boil coffee and eggs in this way

GRIM OLD CROMWELL.

The Protector Made Christmas a
Gloomy and Serious Day.
"Christmas was illegal in Cromwelrs
time," said an antiquary. "Those grim
old Puritans were so gloomy that they
would not have any gayety even on
Christmas day.
Cromwell said that holly and mistle-
toe were heathenish things. He said
that they had no real Christian signifi-
canoe; they were part Of some pagan
festival of the Druids. Accordingly he
made a law that if you decorated your
house with mistIetoe at Christmas you
got thirty days in Jail.
"rhe terrible old fellow forbade
Christmas celebra tions-no dancing, no
singing, no playgoing, no feasting on
Christmas day; penalty, thirty days.
"You see, it was his idea that Christ
mas was a religious. serious time, a
time for churchgoing and prayer and
reverence and for nothing else. The
innocent family that in Cromwell's day
sat down to turkey and plum pudding
and wound up with Christmas games
got month all round.
"Only for time, though. The people
rebelled. Willing as the people had
been to put on the gloom Of those
dreadful old Puritans. they insisted on
having a little Joy on Christmas day.
and Cromwell after year or two had
to give In to them."-New Orleans

WORKS OF A WATCH.
All the Parts Are but the Expression
Of One Idea.

All the Parts Are but the Expresston
of One Idea.
To one who has never studied the
mechanism Of watch it's handspring
or the balance wheel is mere piece Of
metal. He may have looked at the face
Of the watch, and while he admires the
motions Of its hands and the time 1t
keeps he may have wondered In idle
amazement as to the character Of the
machinery which is concealed within.
Take it to pieces and show him each
part separately, and he will recognize
neither design nor adaptation nor rela-
ton between them, but put them to-
gether, set them to work, point out the
Offices of each spring, wheel and cog.
show him the result. Now he perceives
that it is all one design; that, notwith-
standing the number Of parts, their d.
verse forms and various Offices and the
agents concerned, the whole piece is of
one idea. He now rightly concludes
that when the handspring was fashion
ed and tempered its relation to all the
other parts must have been considered;
that the cogs on this wheel are cut and
egulated-adapted- the ratchets on
that, etc., and his final conclusion will
be that such piece Of mechanism
could not have been produced by
chance, for the adaptation Of the parts
is such as to show it to be according to
design and obedient to the will of one
intelligence.

THE HOUSE OF LORDS.
What This Great British lnstitution

Represents.
At first sight there is not much like

er than frequent their magnificent hall.
and 1.-The mail covered barons, who
proudly to battle led their vassals from
Europe to Palestine's plain" In the
days of the Henrys and Edwards. but
in one point the house has always
maintained its character through cen
turies-it Is an aristocracy of birth. but
It is still more emphatically one of
wealth. The law Of entail and primo
geniture has kept the landed estates to-
gether as far as the law can. Many
have passed by heiresses to new names
or been sold by spendthrift lords. many
holders of ancient titles have lost the
wealth that gilded their ancestors cor
onets, but new peers are almost al
ways rich. and a title Is still an at
traction to IN heiress. We sometimes
hear that the house Of lords represents
nothing. This is false. 1t represents
property. Tennyson's new Lincolnshire
farmer, whose horses hoofs trotted
''proputty, proputty, proputty," Is the
type of a vast number Of Englishmen.
Such men are not only content, but
proud, to be represented by the house
of lords. They know that as long as
the lords have their say ''proputty"
will have a stanch body Of organized
champions. William Everett in At

Fifty Miles to Market.

1t is not an uncommon thing in
France to see a farmer forty or fifty
miles from home in wet weather with
load. If he sees prospect Of a
three days rain, he puts his tarpaulin
over his load, cover over his horses
and waterproof coat on and starts
off to market. He may go fifty miles
before he finds market that suits him.
or he may know in advance just where
he is going. You do not often see any
body driving fifty miles through rain
storm in the United States to find a
market for a load of hay, but it is not
uncommon to see farmers wagons for
ty or fifty miles from home in France.
They choose the wet weather for that
purpose. Their roads are just as good
then as at any time.

"The Woman In White"

In letter to Charles Dickens, Wilkie
Collins intimated the fact that the
great work upon which he had devoted
so much time was finished, but that
the finding Of suitable title had occa-
stoned him much trouble. Eventually,
feeling somewhat run down in health,
he left London for Broadstairs, re-
sort which was a favorite with both
Dickens and Collins. While lying on
the cliff in a meditative mood one
bright morning his eyes suddenly riv-
eted themselves on the white light
house which stood boldly out In the
foreground under the dazzling rays of
the midday sun. AS he gazed Collins
in semiconscious manner addressed
himself in whisper to the light
house. You are as stiff and as state
" as my white woman" said he.
'White woman! White wo-the wom-
an in white. Eureka! I have got it!''
And so the book was given this curl
ously inspired title.

The Frenchman of the middle class
sacrifices everything in order to obtain
for his children some official position

sure one, leading after thirty years OF
penury to pension verging on desti'

Of the French race. 1t is easy to un'
derstand that two races are not evenly

On the occasion of his brothers bene

the scenes when a character actor who
had been giving limitations Of noted
actors was about to respond to an en-.

''Whom do you initiate next?' in
quired Booth.
"Well," was the reply, II was going
to represent you in Hamlet's soliloquy,
but If you look on I'm afraid l shall

"Suppose I initiate myself?" remark
ed the tragedian, and, hastily putting
on the other actors wig and buttoning

the well known lines.

that the limitations ruined the perform

COstly Windsor Castle.

No royal castle has cost Great
Britain more in hard cash than that
Of Windsor. says the London Chron-
icle. When George w. announced his
intention Of making it family resi-
dence parliament granted him f30OO0O
toward its reconstruction. For four
years the work went merrily on under
fresh grants, and the king then took
possession Of the private apartments.
That did not end the expenditure how
ever. By the time William Nv. had
satisfied himself that there was moth
ing more to be done the castle had
swallowed up close to million
pounds.

the aborigines shoot fish with the bow
