Conveniences of
the Modern Kitchen

The up-to-date kitchen is first of all
convenient and clean. and as there are
many ways of attaining both these ideal
conditions without spending much money
there is little excuse for any one who
clings to an old-fashioned kitchen.
Rag rugs in the kitchen are comfort
able and cleanly, for they can be put in
the tub and washed with soap and water
when they are soiled. When they be-
come badly faded they can be freshened
by a dip in dye. The irregularities in the
rug and the different colors in it will
make the new dye look mottled-a much
more interesting result than clear, fiat
color would be.
The smaller the kitchen the better. OF
course if the kitchen is large there is no
making 1t smaller without going to a
good deal of expense but the work of
part of it. The table and cabinet and
chairs used for working can all be
grouped conveniently near the stove and
the sink, and the rest of the room can be
left vacant and unused to a great extent.
Many steps and much cleaning can in
this way be saved.
The shops are full of utensils. both old
and new, which make work in the kitchen
pleasant instead of drudgery. The crock
gar, salt. rice and other kitchen supplies
are no longer very expensive. Those
large enough to hold currants. barley.
salt and other supplies kept in small
quantities sell for 81 each. They are
prettily decorated in delft blue applied in
a conventionalized flower design. Bottles
of the same ware are also made, bottles
SO graceful in outline and attractive in
finish that one naturally looks for the
word nectar instead of oil or vinegar
which actually inscribe them.
A new iron stand which firmly holds a
cloth jelly bag suspended high enough
so that big bowl can be slipped under
it is a boon to the jelly maker. 1t is sold
for 81 and would doubtless find uses
enough at other seasons than those when
jelly is made to make its cost worth
while.

NEW YORK. February S.-WilI Wall
street never enjoy surcease from sorrow ?
No sooner does the sky clear in one di-
where, and there is literally no peace no
rest. no comfort. This week the new
worry has been over the problem created
by the adoption of an amendment to the
Constitution Of the United States under
the provisions of which Congress is en-
powered to levy and collect an income
tax. The federal revenues may be in
creased S100.OOO.NOo to s1:o,0oOOoO by
assessment upon the incomes of those
who are fortunate enough to make it
worth while for the collector to call
around. That is cheerful prospect. but
it's importance at the present time and
for some months to follow will be in its
bearing on tariff revision. With a chance
to pick up that vast sum of unexpected
money annually there will be no danger
of embarrassing the machinery of the
government by cutting down duties
That is one of the big issues which will
be brought before Congress during the
special session which will be called soon
President The introduction of this live
issue has not yet aroused the excitement
its importance warrants. That Will come
later and Will give the gentlemen Of Wall
street an excuse for indulgence in a new
variety of Mysteries. The high protection
leaders are already organizing to take
advantage of the unlocked for weapon

York hear.
