they are even more Mirer to ahow the reat
of the country when they have aometning
worth ahowlng. Among the latent ex
hibit la a co-operative kitchen In active
operation at Carthasre, which la detailed
by a writer In World'a Work as follows;
The woman called a. meeting of the In
tereeted people and organised a Co-opera
tive Kitchen. The men took charge. The
kitchen was atarted with a memberahlp
of alxty people.
The houae we rented la nearly a mile
from the bualneaa aectlon, but street cara
run within a couple of blocks. The bouae
la a fine old residence, with wide porchea
and a big lawn. The first floor had a
long munlo room on one aide of a deep hall,
while on the other aide the library and
dinning room could be thrown together,
thua giving two large dining rooma. The
table I pot for each family was determined
by lot Sufficient apace waa left between
. tablea to Inaure privacy.
V In the bearlnnlnc. each family provided
and eaulDPed Its own table. Dlnhee and
silver were brought aa needed, each woman
attending to her own table linen. It waa
agreed that eztraa canned fruit. Jelll
eta should be provided by each table for
its own uae, and that occasional assess
menta of five cents per capita ahould be
itaade for breakage of glassware.
Baalaess Methods.
Our manager has entire charge and re
reives 135 per month, plus rooma and
board for her family. The aecond floor la
, jthe family home, though two extra rooma
.are rented and the Income la added to the
.1 finances of the kitchen. The third floor
i provides rooms for the servants.
' An advisory committee of three audita
the books and determines all matters of
general Interest. In case a member wishes
to withdraw during the period for which
he has pledged himself. It is expected that
he will fill the vacancy he creates. HI
substitute must be approved by this com
mittee.
Two cooks, two waitresses, and a rtlnh
waaner constitute the . working force, but
an extra waltreaa la necessary In serving
dinner. Oddly enough, the dlah washer la
tlia moat difficult to keep. Our dlah wash-
era, with most discouraging unanimity
"gave notice" on the second day. A sub
stantial Increase In wages finally solved
the problem. All the aervanta have two
hcura off every afternoon, and this goes
far toward reconciling them to long days.
They aay, too, that It Is much pleaaanter
to work In the Kitchen than In a kitchen,
There are enough of them together to
prevent the isolation necessary In a one
family home. Their relations with the
members are more nearly those of a alen
ngrapher with her employer. One absolute
rule ot the Kitchen la, no tips. On alter
nate Sunday nights the waltreasea are off
duty. The children of the Kitchen help
serve that night, and It la an evening
looked forward to by th-sm.
Coat Fla-nrea.
The Kitchen started aa a three months
experiment at a per adult member per
week. After the flrat quarter It waa de
cided that by Increasing the price and re
during the memberahlp to fifty, a reading
room could be provided. The co-operative
aplrit atill held. The room waa artistically
furnlahed by voluntary contributions; books
and magaslnea appeared without waiting to
be called for, and a apot waa ready for the
guest of any member awaiting a hostess.
The Initiation fee la now 3.60 per adult,
and half-price for children under 7 and and
. over I yeara of age. Servants or nurae
AnaJds are on a two-third rate, If they
not served by the waitresses. Guests
for alngle meala, ordinarily 26 cents. On
Wednesday night, "guest night," tht charge
la IS cents per guest. The Initiation fe
A-arrlee with It a life membership. Come
back when you will, your place la there
- if there Is a vacancy! When a member
has a guest for tha period of one full week
or more, the rate Is that of a member. The
hostess sees, too, that the table la fitted
for an extra.
The Htaas.
The menus planned by the manager are
aurprlalng for the price. She buys In
quantities, of courae, ao la able to command
wholesale rates. Even that fact, thought,
In this rslgn of high prices hardly explains
the Kitchen bllla-of-fare. For Inatance,

One perplexing problem waa that of the
man whose bualneaa takea him away from
home periodically, and for a week or more.

slightly increased rata for the meala he

prefer the atay-at-home members.
Our social evenings are Impromptu, as a
rule. A dance for the children of the
Kitchen and their little friends wss one of
our record events. Birthday dlrners are
celebrated, and evenlnge for friends prom
lee to grow more frequent In tho future. 1
One Carthaginian turned fli light of hla
wit and hla keen power of sarcasm on the
Kitchen while It was a more toddling,
stumbling thing In Ita Infancy. With sin
emphaala quite indescribable, he christened
It 'The Home ot the Help-less." But at
tha beginning of the last quarter thia gen
tleman applied for memberships far him
self and wife. I-sst night he was hea-d
to say, with a depth of moaning i.ot to be
limited:
"Think of It. Think of It I haven't
heard a word about the aervants-wo-couldn't-get
for three, long, 1-o-v-e-l-y
monfha." He tipped back on the wide
veranda and bit off a cigar emphatically:
"I'm down as a life member, lot me tell
you right now. The meala may be plain,
but they are balanced. The quality makea
up for any amount of frills and trimming.
Besides, they keep a man In shape. Ha
forgets what- he haa eaten when It leaves
him comfortable. Tou couldn't get me
out of this thing. No more caressing the
stomach for mine."

Not only Is the child a linguist with

Tha great aecret of the gold brick bust

concerned, la that It must be sold in a man
ner Invariably suggesting to the purchaser
that he la getting something for nothing.
At least, that Is what a government official
who has looked into the matter says.
For Inatance, It la well-nUit Impossible to
sell near-gold mining stock at $100 per
share well, vary extensively, any way
But if It be offered In shares ot tfi each at
a price ot U per ahare, "to be advanced to
par within ninety days," it Is generally ac
cepted among near-gold mine experts that a
sufficient quantity will be aold to make the
venture a suceeaa from the near-gold mine
expert's peculiar point of view. A great
many ot the subacrlptiona to thia aoon-to-
be-advanced stock come from small Invest
ors, of course perhapa the bulk of them.
Nevertheleaa, enough of them come from
comparatively well-to-do persona to warran
the aaumptlon that not a small part ot the
eaay money reaching the promoters of
near-gold mines cornea from people of
means.
The entire Idea upon which this swindle
rests, therefore. Is the promise to give tt
value tor a fl bill to give aomethlng for
nothing. It matters very little. It seems,
that history bulges with recorded failures
of attempts to get something for nothing
whereas It is all but silent with respect
to ventures of that kind that have proved
to be worth while. Men gortght alon

Constant hammering killed the Louisiana
lottery In time. It may yet become Impos
