Helpsdn the Kitchen.
The head of the family has all kinds of
labor-saving machinery in his field of action,
but too often it is the case that the woman of
the house has to get along, without the as-
sistance of such labor-saving devices as are
appropmate to her sphere' and the work
. she has to ace Tide is notas it should bek
he Man who :seeks to save labor in the
field by the use of machinery, ought th have
in mind the fact that his wife has to work
quite as hard in the kitchen as he has been
in the habit of doing out of doors and that
•it is his duty to procure for her •Ruch helps
as will lighten her toil and do away, as
much as possible, with the drudgery ef
lionse-work. In buying machinery for him-
sell'and not for her he is guilty of that form
of selfishness which is almost, if not quite,
a crime.
Husband and. wife are partners in the
work of life, each having charge of a special
department, and what each does in that de-
partment contributes to the general welfare
and benefit of the "firm." Neither has
the moral right to consult his or her inter-
ests alone. The interests of both should be
regarded, and the kind and thoughtful hus-
band will not mire to monopolize all the
benefits resulting from the labor of both.
For every machine that he buys for himself
-to save labor, or make work easier and more
• effective, he will buy one for his wife. He
• will furnish her a goocl washingmachine,
and. a wringer. There will be a good churn,
•inlaid the stove will be one with all the
"modern irnprovenaents." There will be a
-cistern, and the cistern will have a pump,
and, of course, there will be a sewing ma-
ethine, and, perhaps'a knitting machine.
Why not? knitting by hand is something
like going through a corn -field with the old
hoe. If he has a cultivator to do that work
•'with, why should she not have a machine
•-to do the family knitting with? She can
knit evenings, do you say?:What will you
be doingthen ? Reading the newspaper, or

like to read some, rather than be obliged to

Intelligence of Dogs.
It has always been a subject of difference
o opinion whether dogs next to human
beings were the most intelligent of all ani-
mals. The horse is acknowledged to have
been most useful, but the following from
the Hartford Times, shows that doge can
also be taught to be useful:
"A very common thing on all the Con-
neoticut railroad lines is tor accommodating
trainmen to throw newspapers off the trains
at or near the houses of subaoribers liv-
ing on the lino of the road at a distance
from the stations. ree many instances
dogs have been trained to watch for the
cars and get these papers, and country
dogs, it ds noticed, take quite an active
interest in the affair. Over on the Nau-
gatuck road some one has had the curi-
osity to inquire into this matter of
dog messengers. Mr. McLean, proprie-
tor of the Gate House • on Thomaston
road, has a dog who goes a mile and
a half every morning to meet the train.
The paper was formerly thrown off by the
brakeman of the last oar, a,nd there the
dog watched for it. Lately it has been
threwn frein the baggage -oar. The dog sp.
peered angry at the nhange, barked 'furi-
ously, and waited sullenly for some time
before going on his errand, He hats not
yet become reconciled to the new way of
delivering his paper. Below Derby a dog
has acted. for several years as neweboy tor
numter of families. The papers are
thrown out of the cars under full speed.
Whether one or a large bundle of them the
dog is able to lug them off, making good
time back. Another doe, who has become
a veteran as newsboy, afid cannot now, from
age and rheumatism, get down to the cars,
has in some waymanaged to trains younger
dog to do his work. Edward Osborne re-
siding below Naugatuck, has a dog who re-
gularly meets the eailymorming train. This
house is a mile from the railroad, and.the
dog never leaves on his errand until he
hears the tram whistle at Beacon Falls
Station. Then he starts on a run, and waits
at the same spot always, with his nose pok-
ed between the palings of a fence, and his
keen eye watching for the flying paper."
To Constt3,ntinop1e by Rail.
Since our Atlantic and Pacific coasts
were united by iron tracks, no railroad en-
terprises have surpassed in interest and im-
portance those which are now nearing com-
pletion in the Balkan Stats. The railroads
which, under the stipulations of the Berlin
treaty, have been building in Servia and
Bulgaria, are about to be joined to the
Turkish lines, and it is expected that with
in ten weeks Paris and Berlin will be con-
nected by rails running across the Balkan
peninsular with Constantinople and with
Salonica on the Algean Sea. Servia has con-
pleted her part of the work, and the gar in
the Bulgarian line are rapidly shortening.
The emlse of modern life has beaten feeb-
ly in these Balkan States. Their backward
condition has been due in no em ell measure
to the fact that though they are the subject
of grave international disputes they have
been largely cut off from commercial and
social relations with the north. Eastern
Roumelia and a part of Bulgaria have dealt
with northern Europe only by way of
Turkey and the Mediterranean, and in
point of time as been as far from London as
Calcutta is. Ib will be a noteworthy event
in the history of Europe when these rew
lines practically complete great iron high-
ways through -the entire length of the conti-
nent, that will bring some of the most ina-
cessible regions within a,few day's journey.
of every northern capital.
Both Servia and Bulgaria are looking for-
ward to the end of this great work as the
dawn of a new and hopeful era. Wide and
fresh fields for the tourist will be opened in
a great territory whose unique institutions
and picturesque landscapes have been stud-
ied only by adventurous travellers. It is not ,
a little remarkable that the wonderful soon-
ery of Herzegovina is less familiar to most
intelligent Europeans than India and parts
of the Himalayas.
Who knows what possibilities of progress

OastaWays on Little Islands.
We published recently the story of sur
vivors of a shipwrecked crew who lived for
nine months on an uninhabited little bland
several hundred miles from the Marshall
group in the Pacific. When they deserted
the island in a scow they left to whatever
fate might befall him one of their number
who had murdered two of their comrades.
Unless relief is sent him it is not improbable
that, like Defoe's- hero, he mighb live there
alone for years before a paasing Teasel pick-
ed hint up. Hundreds of these little Pacific
islands are rarely seen by clips, and many
of them, are shown on the best maps with
interrogation points to indicate that their
position even is not accurately known.
Castaways who stiffer for months on un-
inhabited islands are not so few in number
as might be supposed. The English news-
papers announced a few weeks ago that a
vessel was to be sent to the Crozet 'elands
in the Indian Ocean, almost within sight of
Antarctio ice, to rescue some shipwrecked
people who are suppesed to be there.
Many of these far southern islands are out
of the track of ships, and castaways might
live on some of them for years without being
discovered. The Crozets are famous as the
uninviting home of several shipwrecked
crews. A while ago the survivors of the
sealer StrethMore reached the Crozetts,
where they lived for many weeks on penguin
flesh and eggs before a vessel luckily hap-
pened to heave in sight. A few weeks ago
there arrived in England eight of the crew
of the Derry Castle, which.was wrecked. off
the Auckland Islands, south of New Zealand.
They had a hard struggle for life during
the three months they spent on the islands.
Shell fish and sea animals were all their

..Probable Drift of the Big Log Bail.
The faet that this great raft has broken
up before caueing some great disaster is
good (mese for eongratuletion. While
there is still danger horn the thousands of
great logs of which it was composed, yet it
ia insigniticant compared to that froni the
raft itself, if it were still lotted and adrift
in the path of eommerce. A mere state-
ment; of ite chomicter and dimensions ia
enough to convince any one of thio fact.
Aboat 27,000 trunks of trees, from a0 to 100
feet in length, were bound together with
ohains and withes into a huge cigar -shaped
raft 560 feet long, e5 feet wide, 38 feet deep,
drawing 19a feet of water when afloat, and
of an estimated weighb of 11,000 tone.
The probable paths which these goattered
logs will follow can only be indicated in a
very general way, drifting as they do under
the combined and varying influence of wind,
tide, and current, and every log offering
some slight difference of resistance to each,
according to its size, weight, and depth of
flotation. Probably each day will see them
more and :nore widely separated, and for
months they will be occasionally reported
by veseels all the way from Hatteras to the
Grand Banks and beyond. The majority of
them will probably, drift to the eouthward
to a point about 300 mileeast from the
capes of the Delaware. • Here they will soon
get into the Gulf Stream and drift in a
northeasterly direction toward the coast of
Europe. In mid -ocean, those to the north.
ward will be carried by the general surface
drift up past the coast of Ireland, while
those to the southward will get into the
southeasterly drift current which moves
slowly to the southeastward and southwest-
ward past the Azores and along the coast of
Africa. Some may even circle around the
Bay of Biscay and be carried to the north-
ward past the English and Irieh channels
in the Remelt current, if not sooner water-
logged and sunk, es euch a voyage would re-
quire a year or more to complete.
There is at least one advantage which has
been gained by the unparalleled interest and
attention which has been elicited by the
exciting incidents attending the loss and
search for this great dereliot raft, and that
is to forcibly mill public attention to a class
of dangers ou the high seas which it has
been the constant effort of the marine office
to diminish, not only by warning navigators
their prceence, but by taking prompt action
to have them removed.
Another Large Cave Discovered.
Another mammoth cave has been dim
covered in Kentucky. It is as yet bleb very
imperfectly explored, but the facts, so far
as yet known, are as follows:
Mr. J. A. Allen, of Bloomfield, K., while
excavating the foundation for a new mill,
struck the dome of a, cavern of immense pro-
portions. Meesrs. Allen and Hunt explored
it for a distance of over two miles and dis-
covered an opening in a cliff on the
farm of Benjamin Wilson, and a well. i
beaten path was easily discerned that was
once erodden by human beings, although
it is now in many places covered with forest
trees and undergrowth. On one of the laree
avenues numerous evidences existed that the
place had been the abode of the cave men, a
as numerous relics were found in the shape t
of pottery and bronze. A sepuIebre was
discovered and in it are numerous bodies.
The formations in the cave are beautiful be-
