I'lssnlsa Ike Stove. Cold weather marks an increase In the amount of cooking and one of the first duties ia for the housekeeper to see that the flues of the oven and other parts are in order to meet the demands and other cooking. of The oven is not ordinarily as much used in summer as in colder days and the Jaccummulation of soot is not so rapid as when a heavy fire is kept in a stove all day. Aa the cleaning of the oven flue ia not a pleasant one, though it is very essential, it is not likely to be attended to in the summer, and the work must, therefore, be done with especial thoroughness in the cleaning. To do this work put on a coarse pair of gloves, tie np your hair in an old cloth or cap, which can be thoroughly washed, and wear a stout, coarse apron. Arrange a newspaper so that all the soot from the flues can fall on it as it comes out. Draw the soot out with the flue scraper slowly, so as to prevent dust as much as possible! Brush out all parts of the stove which can be reached by a whisk brush, but do so as carefully as possible Gather up the soot - the newspaper, and put it with the other ashes, or, better still, mix it with the earth as a fertilizer, for which it is most valuable Do not let any gust blow it about, aa it is a most disagreeable and penetrating kind of dust . The lower oven, into which the soot would naturally fall in most stoves if it were not prevented by the be carefully newspaper, should brushed out with a whisk and wiped out with a damp cloth, as some soot will always fly about it When this job is properly done It is no great hardship to the worker and makes no special dust about the kitchen. If it ia done in a coarse, slovenly, helter-skelte- r manner, the dust flies everywhere and the whole kitchen requires thorough scrubbing and cleaning after the operation ia over.

There Are some homes which dis- tinctively impress themselves on the minds of the visitor ss being abodes ofj artistic refinement and comfortable eleganca They need not be extravagantly furnished, and yet there ia something about them that appeals to the nicest sense as soon as the front door ia opened. When called upon to analyze this peculiar beauty it resolves itself into the conclusion that snuh a place is sweeter and better than others, because at every turn one meets with living green that serves to make it peculiarly attractive. Where the stairs turn is set a plnmp little jar, with a growing palm that spreads out its inviting leaves to the one who journeys upward. In the hall near the settle is a rubber plant, bright and cheery, its greenness seeming to smile a welcome to the visitor, and on the dining-rootable in a neat little circle are a few ferns that breathe the beauty of the summer woods through all the long hours of the winter. Whatever plants are introduced there comes a touch of beauty that o the costliest bit of or the most expensive painting never produces Window boxes filled with' the e quaint, geranium and their blossoma gives an air of cheery comfort to a room and leaves its impression upon the mind of all those both in and outside of the apartment.

The attention necessary for them is in itself beneficial, and should not he given over to the charge of servants To cut off the dry leaves to see that sufficient water is given, and to protect them from the cold at night should be the duty of the mistress of the house or one of those who have a rightful claim upon the home as their abode. Though rigid economy must be practiced the introduction of a single plant will give an air of luxury, and if to thia ia added a blithe little canary in its cage, there will coma that homey feeling that cannot be defined, but which makes itself so keenly felt Koysl la flood Heads, One of the best friends the English working women possess is the Princess Christian of Schleswig-HolsteiThe Schleswig-Holstei- n part of her title, however, ia purely honorary, for the princess makes only an occasional visit to that country. The great hobby' of Princess Christian ia nursing. She being honorary president of the Boy si British nurses' and she attends their association, meetings at least ones a week. The design of this association ia to protect the public from unqualified and unfit nurses To belong to the association a woman must possess a certificate showing two or three years of training, and it must alto be demonstrated that the is of good character, and ia kind, . sensible and faithful. The idea of the association was suggested to the princess by an emergency to the royal family. Some one was taken ill just when the nhrses detailed to care for the queen's f smily wen all engaged cm eases in the queens immediate household. A new nurse was summoned, and, while she wasn't exactly a Sairy Gamp, she proved so incompetent that the Princess Christian not only hoped that it wouldnt happen again, but made up her mind that it shouldnt if she could help it Another interest of this royal lady is her floral charity. Attached to her home is a conservatory in which are grown the flowers of all nations Edelweiss, such ns Prince Bismarck sends daily to hie wife, Scotch thistles, Irish shamrock, German corn flowers, and the wax flowers of the Mediterranean are all ia Princess Christian's conservatory.
