She knows how vitally important it is to eliminate from the kitchen all possible work, worry and waste. And the range is the soul of the kitchen. Its influence is felt every day and all day by the entire family. The Gurney -Oxford Range is a strong a.dvoca3te of modern household economy. Not only does it cook and bake without disappointment or failure, but it is a positive influence for economy. It burns less coal—it requires less attention—it conserves time. 11) Modern woman demands in her work modern time and labor saving ideas, and modern woman is right. The Gurney -Oxford Range is the fruit of constant effort, research and experiment to make and keep abreast of modern ideas of efficiency. The Gurney -Economizer (which is licensed for use only on the Gurney -Oxford range) for regulating the &rafts by one action: the Gurney method of dis- tributing heat to all sides and corners of the oven: the imp,roved Gurney grates, combine to make the Gurney -Oxford range the standard of efficiency and the farermost exponent of n'noete rn household economy.

In the audience was a man the priest knew. The man was the father of seven girls, and the lecturer pointed to this man as an ex- ample. "Think," said the priest, "of being the proud father of seven daugh- ters. Think who is happier—the man with a million dollars or the man who is the father of seven daughters. I will ask you Mr. Sheldon, who do you think is the happier?" said the priest, pointing to the subject of his argument. The man arose and said: "Father I think the man with seven daughters is the happier. A man with a million dollars worries for me.•e. A man with seven daughters never does." CLEANLINESS IN THE KITCHEN. The Sick Mar. I have some fell diseases; my back- bone andnly knesses were racked by bitter pain; and I had influenzy, that drove me to a frenzy, and water on the. brain. Oh, I had corns and bunions, and boils as big as onions, and in my eye a stye; I doubt if any duffer could sit around and suffer more earnestly than I. I tool: the doctor's potion, his bitters by the ocean, his capsules by the peck; the neighbors heard my groaning, and often they were honing to come and break ray neck. And then n y Uncle Aaron came up and heard me swearin', and said; "You are a cheese; your noxious dope to drink of, and all you ever think of is just some old disease. The more you sit here grumbling about the spasms rumbling along your battered spine, the more your ills will scar you, the more you'll weep and whine. Forsake your mil- dewed hovel, and go and take a shovel, and dig around for bait; forget to shake and shiver, forget your lights and liver, and get your smile on straight." There isn't much hair on the dome of Uncle Aaron, but inside there is sense; and he kept around me, scolding, and built a mile of fence. And When it was com- pleted and I was tired and heated and soaked with honest sweat, I said: "My pains are banished!, The last old ache has vanished! Oh, work's the one best bet!"—Walt Mason.

At tint "rook" meant a dupe, then the verb "to rook" came to mean to cheat. and out of this was evolved "rook," a cheater—a complete topsy turvy pros. ess. It is curious that the same thing has not happened to "gull." lIere also the verb came from the substantive meaning a dupe, and as the gull strikes one as rather a knowing bird oue might haVe expected the same evoln• tion as in the case of the rook. It should be observed. however, that "gull," a dupe, dill not refer specially to the sea gull, the word having for• merly meant a young bird of any kind, In Elizabethan English it signified a callow youngster who wished to be thought smart.—London Chronicle. There may sometimes be observed in the cooked dish a lack of flavor, not a bad taste, but a lack of whatis appe- tising. It would be interesting to know in , how many cases this comes from a lack, of cleanliness in utensils and methods. Personal cleanliness is, of course, es- sential in the kitchen, and every good housekeeper endeavors to maintain a high standard in such matters. Some food manufactories make special effort to secure cleanlinesss and hygienic sur- roundings and the good example they set should be generally followed. "Food and fingers are carriers of contagion." The proper way of wash- ing the hands, if seriously taught and seriously practised, in the market and in the kitchen, would go far to remove the source not only of -infection, but of such additions to the food as are dis- gusting. In this matter some food manufactories are cleaner in their methods than are our kitchens. In one large bakery, where information was collected, the rule is in force that every employe shall wash his hands on return- ing to the room after leaving it for any purpose whatever. The running tap, like a shower bath, offers a great improvement over old methods of washing. Few will have patience to fill and refill the hand basin until the hands are bathed at last in clean water, but this result is easily accomplished under the tap. The nail brush and nail cleaner must have their place in the kitchen, and their use must be insisted on before bread or cake is mixed and after work at al] soiling in character. Every one will admit that there is need for exercising great care in cough- ing and sneezing wherever such nec- essary acts may be annoying to others, When one recalls that experiment has sl:own that a fine spray of saliva may be thrown in all directions for a die. tance of four or five feet by a violent sneeze or cough, and that often the cause of the cough or sneeze is some- thing which can be thus communicated to others, it is evident that there is abundant reason for caution. Particularly is this essential where - ever food is prepared, exposed or serv- ed. The Salamander. In Andrews' "Anecdotes Ancient and Modern" (17SOi one reads, "Should a glass house fire be kept up without ex- tinction for a longer term than seven years there is no doubt but that a salamander would be generated in the cinders." This probably accounts for the popular idea that a salamander lives In the bre, a fallacy so far re- moved from the truth that the curious lizardilke beast so called cannot en- dure even the beat of the sun, but skulks away under stones to avoid it. It will never lose Its reputation for fire eating, though, which lingers still In the heating utensil that is named after it. Card Marks. It is conjectured by some writers on the subject that the marks upon the cards designating the four kinds in a pack were originally symbolical and intended to signify the different class- es of society. According to this sup- position, the hearts represented the clergy, spades the nobility, some old packs of cards bearing a sword or lance head Instead of a spade; clubs the serfs and diamonds the burghers or citizen classes.

Write for particulars, STONE & WELLINGTON 1'011011TO, The following from the Durham Chronicle is interesting:—It is well known that different kinds of grain growing side by side are apt to mix. This is especially the case when two or three kinds of corn grow near each other. On Monday last, Rev. Mr. Mc- Causland brought us in an ear of corn on which were growing several ears of oats. The stock of oats had been grow- ing near the corn, which is the probable cause of the cross fertilization. GAVE UP ALL HOPES OF EVER GETTING WELL Mr. Jacob E. Herr, 111 Grange St., Stratford, Ont., writes:—"Ten years ago I suffered with a very peculiar disease. I would go to bed feeling as well as could be, and after sleeping for five hcurs I would wake with a severe pain in my back, then moving into my side and breast. The pain was so terrible I could not lie in my bed, and usually had to sit until morning with a pillow propped up behind my back. With all my pain I would go to work, and after working up to about 10 o'clock the pr'n would leave me entirely. The same thing would hap- pen the next night, and eery night for two years. I tried four di "erent doctors, but none of them did me any good. I triad a great many patent medicines, but all of no avail. I gave up all hopes of ever getting well. A friend persuaded me to try Milburn's Heart and Nerve Pills. I bought four boxes, and after using the first one I felt a change for the better, and after using three boxes I could sleep all night. The pains were gone, and I was completely cured. Milburn's Heart and Nerve Pills are 50 cents per box, or 3 boxes for $1.25, at all dealers, or mailed direct on receipt of price by The T.

Now'lsat pleated skirts are creeping back to the realm of fashion, women who like to attend to their own clothes will want to know just how to go about keeping them well pressed and in good condition. First of all, you must baste the pleats in place just as they were when the skirt was new; run a line of basting on the outside edge of each pleat the full length, catching it down firmly to the material underneath. Lay it over the ironing board wrong side out, place a damp cloth over the pleats and press with a hot iron until the damp cloth is dry. Allow the basting threads to remain in the skirt after it is pressed for sev- eral hours; then remove them, and your skirts will keep their shape and . look nicer for a long time. The same rule applies to' all pleated garments.
