Stexenson,s Cup Of Misery.

II. l.. Stevenson, writing in 1893 to
George Meredith, in an epistle quoted
in his Letters" says, with heart
touching pathos:
For fourteen years have not had
q days real health. | have wakened
sick and gone to bed weary, and l
have done my work untlinchingly. 1
have written in bed and written out or
it, written in hemorrhagcs, written in
sickness, written torn by coughing.

weakness, and for so long, it seems to
me, have won my wager and recover

ers have so willed that my battlefield

There may be and often is another
reason besides conservatism which
makes her hesitate to change her
mode of work. 1t is because the men,
who are generally the money earners,
are often averSe to spending any sum
of money for house equipment. Not
being familiar with the details of do
nestle work and having larger inter
eStS in their own business, they are
very apt to think women can get along
with almost anything or, rather, they
think that hOuSework can be accom-
pliShed with any sort of tools.
Occasionally a woman diSlikeS to ask
for what she needs, or sometimes she
will not accept modern inventions
when they are offered to her, and now
and then we find one who will not
use them when they are actually i'll
her possession. 1t is not always easy
to tell just where the fault lies or
what it is, but one thing is certain,
there has been less advance In house
keeping during the last twenty-five
years than has been made by any
y
carried on at present is no more like
farming twenty-five years ago than
truck gardening is like ranching. II
the same interest had been taken in
household affairs there might have
been similar advancement i'll that
most important of all industries.
There are numerous inventions on
the market for making housework
easier. Some of them are valuable,
and others are worse than useless.
Unless an implement after it has been
given fair trial is found to be a
saver of both time labor and energy
it is not worth house room.
The Handy FireIess Cooker.
Among the most useful articles that
have been brought into the kitchen
within the last five years is the tire
less cooker, or, as it was first named,
the "hay box" The conception OF the
tireleSS cooker is very old one, as
some of the primitive races knew all
about and practiCed the art of cooking
after this manner But it was forgot
ten or neglected by civilized people
until rev years Dack. NOW the nay
box has proved itself so useful as an
economy of energy and fuel that 1t
has come to stay. There are some
handsome fireless cookers on the mar
ket that can be purchased for the
moderate price of from $S to SIG, and
so complete and perfect are they that
freezing, steaming and roasting can
be accomplished at the same time i'll
the three separate compartments.
