Oct. IS, 1906. Pepys chronicles It's flrst

close to the body. 1t was Of "black

Soon after the restoration sleeve

of dress was brought from France by
Charles IL. From beneath the fullness
of shirt exposed by the open vest "the
breeches displayed their expanded
width" with punches of ribbon at the
waist and lace ruffles below the knees.
The doublet worn over the vest was
richly laced and embroidered. So cost

king resolved to give the lead toward
a more economical and sober fashion,
and In the fulfillment Of this design he
donned the new garment, which Pepys
hailed with pleasure.
Such were the circumstances which

materials, and the outer coat was
shaped to hang well open to display
its magnif1ceuce.

UW HOUSEKEEPING has always
" been hampered to a certain eX-
tent by tradition and some su-
perstition. Until recently few
women thought of making investiga-
tions for themselves regarding ques-
tons in general housekeeping. the
word of some great-grandmother being
usually sufficient. The fact that the
grandmother had no opportunity to
study the laws of nature as seen in
the ordinary process of living did not
disturb the average woman's faith in
her opinion. But now a change is
gradually moving across the country.
aud the up to date housekeeper is
alive to anything which suggests i'm
proved and easier methods of work.
She will investigate new plans and
try practicable suggestions which seem
to offer greater facility in her work.
But there is yet in our midst the con-
servative housekeeper. She is slow to
adopt new methods or to provide new
and better equipment for her work.

There may be and often is another
makes her hesitate to change her
mode of work. II 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-
pllshed with any sort of tools.
Occasionally 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 in
her possession. II is not always easy
10 tell just where the fault lies or
wllnt 1t 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
other industry. Agriculture as 1t is
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 in 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 1t has been
given a fair trial is found TO be a
saver Of both time, labor and energy
It is not worth house room.
The Handy Fireless 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 1t was first named
the "hay box" The conception OF the
fireless cooker is very old one, as
some of the primitive races knew all
about and practiced the art of cooking
after this manner. But 1t was forgot

Some General Directions.

AS there is no evaporation in the
cooker. use less water with cereals OF
any kind.
While cooking the food over the fire
leave the vessel uncovered. This will
permit the gases formed in cooking to
escape. This is particularly necessary
In preparing chicken and other meats
for the cooker.
If the granite utensil used in the
cooker is too large for the amount of
food. use smaller vessel In which to
cook the food and set 1t inside the
larger utensil. surrounded by hot wa
ter. 10 insure perfect success there
should be two vacant spaces In the
cooker or utensll.
This method 'of cooking is splendid
for chicken fricassee, stews of all
kinds, pot roasts, soups and for any
meat dish which requires slow cook
ing. II the piece OF meat is large re-
heating it after 1t has been In the
cooker four or FIVE hours and then con-
tinuing the cooking four or five hours
longer will give better results.
The length OF time the food is to be
cooked over the fire depends on the
size and nature of the food. A ten
pound ham should simmer, never boil.
for about forty minutes and cook In
the cooker for ten hours, with a sec
ond reheating after the first four
hours.
The tireless cooker Is not intended
for fresh vegetables OF any kind.
These, as previously stated. require
rapid cooking, which cannot be accom-
plished In It, II the potatoes are cook
ed in 1t they are sure 10 be heavy and
more or less watery.
II meat Is liked brown this should
be done before or after being put into
the cooker.
Practical Cooking Utensils.
The variety and kind Of utensils 70
be used In the kitchen are always an
interesting topic TO all good house
keepers. There is only one point &c
emphasize In equipping kitchen. and
that is that the best material is none
too good; also the extent of the equip
ment should be equal to the needs Of
the housekeeper.

The Milky Way,

The milky way in the heavens Is
composed of myriads of fixed stars,
but 1t is not true that they have any
influence that anybodys knows Of on
the direction of the wind or other ele-
ment of the weather of the earth.
Their apparent changes Of position are
due only to the changes of position by
the earth in its daily and annual revo.
lutions. The stars in the milky way
are SO far from the earth that it takes
thousands of years for the light from
them to reach us.

Gases In Sewers,

City people who are occasionally
startled by seeing manhole cover
blown from the pavement generally
ascribe the blame to leaking gas
mains. But there are probably many
other sources from which dangerous
gases find their way into sewers, and
one of these Is indicated by an in
vestigation recently reported to the
American Chemical Society by Prof.
A. A. Breneman. He showed that
the entrance of mixture of gasoline
and soap into drains and sewers from
garages, factories, and other places
where such materials are employed for
washing. is sufficient to account for
the liberation of much combustible
vapor, which may play part in sewer
explosions.

Deem Water North Of Alaska.

The chief object of the arctic ex'
pedition of Captain Mikelsen, who
recently returned to Copenhagen, was
to settle the question whether there Is
land or a deep sea to the north OF
Alaska. In March of last year Cap
tain Mikelsen, Mr.. Lefflingwell and
the mate made sledge expedition
over the ice. Fifty miles from the
coast they found crevices, through
which they sounded to depth OF q
$40 feet without reaching bottom. Six
ty miles farther on the result was the
same. Turning then toward the
southeast, they found the edge OF the
continental shelf. The conclusion Is
that deep water exists north of Alas
ka, at least to great distance.

Life.

"Man comes into this world
without his consent, and leaves it
against his will. During his stay
on earth his time is spent in one
continuous round of contraries and
misunderstanding by the balance
OF the species.
In his infancy he is an angel; in
his boyhood he is devil; in his
manhood he is everything from a
lizard up; in his duties he is a
dunn fool if he raises a family he is
chump; if he raises a small check
he is Il thief and the law raises the
deuce with him; if he is a poor man
he is a poor manager and has no
sense; if he is rich he is dishonest
but considered smart; if he is in
politics you can't place him as he
is an undesirable citizen; if he goes
to church, he is hypocritc; if he
stays away from church, he is a
sinner and damned; if he donates
to foreign missions, he does it for
show; if he don't he is stingy and
a tight wad.
When he first comes into the
world everybody wants to kiss
him; before he goes out they all
want to kick him. If he dies
young there is a great future be-
fore him; if he lives to ripe old
age he is simply in the way and
living to save funeral expenses.
This life is funny road but we all
like to travel it just the same.
