Tim Ideal situation for tho kitchen Is considered by popular opinion to bo with north nnd east exposure. Nowa days wo want a kitchen, If It Is not to bo used as a din- Inr. rnnm rn hfi small, so that time nnd strength may be saved In tho preparation of meals. The sink and tablo. stove and cupboards should bo within spenklng dlstnnco of each oth er. Tho dining room should open di rectly Into tho kitchen or pantry be tween so that tho shortest possible routing would bo accomplished In serving a meal. Windows should bo plentiful nnd bo placed that plenty of light and ven tilation could be obtained. ArtMctal light should be planned to fall wjicro It Is most needed, over Bink and stovo anil tablo. if swing doors are placed between the kitchen and dining room tho kitch en need never bo in view when sitting at tho dining tablo. Tho floor should bo covered with llnojeum or finished In such a way that scrubbing Is unnecessary. Tables and sink as well as stovo and ironing board should be of tho height to suit tho person to uso them. Over tho sink a shelf with hooka be neath to hold all the much-used things llko a sonp shaker, measuring cups, dipper, dish mop, and potato masher, may bo easily placed. On top of this shelf have your scales, a small clock, pretty receptacles for pepper and salt and tho much used condiments. - The best arranged kitchens nro those with plenty of cupboard spaco to shut from tho dust nil utensils thnt aro not washed twice or three times a day. If tho cupboards nro not so closo that tho dishes may bo wiped and set at onco to the shelves hnvo n small tablo with casters to move about. This samo table will be in valuable to have near tho stovo when cooking, and should bo covered with zinc. A wheeled tray or tea cart Is another most convenient utenBll to save stops as it can bo loaded with food for tho tablo nnd remove it and tho soiled dishes after tho meal, with but ono or two trips. The best quality of tea lenves must liavo creases llko tho leathern boot-of the Tartar horseman, curls llko tho elowlnp of a mighty bullock, unfold llko a mist rising out of a ravine, gleam llko a lake touched by a zephyr, and bo wot nnd soft like One earth newly swept by rain. Luwuh, n Japanese Poet. TEA MAKING AN ART. (A I I Every woman longs for the dainty appointments of a pretty tea table, but $ffeH do not wait to realize aja! these longings, but servo Wj tea to your friends with W tho equipment at hand. iy"' M A sewing tablo, lunch cloth, tea tray, teapot and a few pretty cups will bo sufficient. Tho tea wagon is, of course, a wonderful assistance On this may bo placed tho small cakes, creamer and sugar bowl, teaspoons and cups nnd snucors. Cups may bo had that are artistic and shapely from ton centB to as many dollars, but the tea tastes as well from" the ten-cent ono and If ono Is broken, your heart 1b not. Tea is served at four o'clock so that It does not Interfere with tho six o'clock din ner and is not a meal in any sense Tho correct way of preparing tea Is to take the freshly drawn water at tho first boll, scald tho teapot, then add tea a teaspoonful for each person and ono for tho pot: cover with tho wator, then let stand five minutes, add enough water to sorvo, allow it to stand a minuto then pour. If you deslro to make tho tea with a tea ball it may then bo sorved of required strength to suit tho Individ' ual tasto. A pretty pitcher of hot wa tor is another requisite, as well as a bowl to empty tho tea for a fresh cup. Ten sorved In a moderate quan tlty, not too strong. Is a. fatigue re .mover as woll ns a norvo soother, faorvo cream rather Jinn milk aB It makes a great difference In the flavor Thoso who enjoy Russian tea with tho lemon will take a clovo or two A pretty way to add flavor as well as Bugar Is to rub tho cubes of sugar over orange or lemon rinds to nbsorb tho volatile oils. People who nre nwnre that they nro In tho, right need never loso their temper. Do without stlmulnnts. Let fresh air and cold witter bo your stimulants. Harriet Martlneiiu. SUPERIOR FIGS AND DATES.

The earliest uso of deleterious gases in sioso warfaro is recorded In the history of tho Poloponneslan wars from 431 to 404 D. C. During this strugglo between tho Athenians and Spartans and their respective nllles tho cities of Plntea and Dollum woro besieged. Wood saturated with pitch and sul phur was set on fire and burned under tho walls of these cities In ordor to generate choking and poisonous fumes which would stupefy tho defenders and render tho task of tho attacking forces less difficult.
