We all know of houses that are not
rightly proportioned. They have some
rooms that are small when they ought
to be much larger to properly accom-
modate the furniture necessary for Q
good appearance and for the conve-
nience OF the family, as we'll as for
the accommodation of friends. for We
cannot live alone. we often find this
very trouble in the living room or din
ing room and In these cases the mis-
take is nothing short OF nuisance
that will prove annoying as long as
the house stands.
Other rooms may be small without
interfering with our good nature, In
face some OF them ought to be small.
We have learned. for instance, that a
large kitchen really ia not desirable.

WON FIRST VICTORIA CROSS
Highest Priced War Emblem Of Great
Britain Awarded to Sailor for
Daring Deed.

The stories cabled from England Of
how British bluejackets in the recent
naval engagement of Helgoland
picked up unexploded shells that fell
on the decks of their vessels and
threw them overheard recall the fact
that the first Victoria cross was
awarded to a sailor In the Crimean
war for performing exactly such n
feat. He was Rear-Admiral c. d. Lu-
cas-, r. NJ, who died several weeks
ago, Just about the time hostilities
broke out He was an acting mate on
board the Hecla, OF Admiral Napier's
feet, in the Baltic, and the feat which
won him the cross was performed dur.
ing the bombardment Of the Aland
islands, where, the Russian and Ger
man fleets were reported as having
been engaged in the present war.
The shell which dropped on the
Hecla's deck was fizzing when Lucas
leaped forward and pitched 1t over the
side. There was only the barest frac.
ton of unburned fuse between him
and destruction, but he was cool and
collected in his manner Of performing
the exploit. Captain Hall. his com.
mander. brought the deed to the at.
tention of Admiral Napier. who wrote
to the admiralty that he trusted
'their lordships would mark their
sense of his act by promoting him.
Accordingly. he was promoted to lieu
tenant, and upon the institution of the
Victoria Cross the first Of the deccra
tions was conferred upon him.

one to perform the many kitchen du-

growing family.
Our grandmothers travelled many
weary miles in going back and forth
across large kitchens that were roomy
and cool in summer and roomy and
cold in winter. They had few helps
In the way Of pantries, cupboards,

modern conveniences. such as are con-
sidered necessaries now; but there
was big wood-burning cooking stove
and a generous wood box, which the
small boy of the family was supposed
to keep well-fllled by working nights
and mornings between school hours
and bedtime
These old-fashioned kitchens had to
be scrubbed once week and swept
every day, a cleaning task of no small
proportions. There was a big. fiat,
heavy table in one corner without a
knife drawer. and the pantries were
generally partitioned off in the most
awkward ways possible; sometimes in
opposite corners, which required trav-
cling back and forth q great many
times in fetch and carry process.
People seemed to live to fetch and
carry in those days. They carried
burdens of considerable weight into
those big, oldfashioned kitchens. and
