Two Old Stoves.
The oldest stove In the United Btatue
IS now on exhibition In Minneapolis. It
stands on legs or end supports, similar
to those of a sewing machine, only they
are about half as high snd ypf , much heav
ier casting. The total weight of the
stove Is 600 pounds. It Is three feet long,
tt Inches high and one foot wide, with
a hearth extending in front There Is no
grate In the bottom, the fire being built
directly on the bottom of the stove, the
heat passing from below the oven, back
Of It a,nd over the top of .the pipe. The
outside has scrolls and i designs and
crowns in relief, much after the fashion
of stoves of today, and on both sides
cast with the metal are the words "Here
ford , Furnace, Thomas Maybury, Mfr.,
1767." The stovs Is Well preserved, In
spite of Its age. The surface has a finish
that la technically known as "pebbled."
In the State Capitol at Richmond, Va.,
there Is an old stove of much the same
pattern, snd one of the local newspapers
there thinks that it may be even older
than the Minneapolis curio. This Vir
ginia' heater also stands on legs, is about
seven feet high and ie handsomely orna
mented. It is "three stories" high and of

myself upon the manner in whioh I can
prepare several dlshsa of which my bus
bahd and boys are particularly fond. But
I, de not monopolise ths culinary Workrt

cook, have a large share,' ao that my
famUy will not become finicky and Insist
that certain, dishes do not tasts just right
unless mother makes them. Of course
I ant. dslUhted to have my . cooking
praised, but X do not Intend to have my
folks too dependent noon me in this re
gard. It makes men and boys selfish and
ties a conscientious . woman down toe
much. I learned a lesson from a friend
who cooks such toothsome dishes that
her husband hates te have her go home
to see her another once a year. His let
ters are .filled with doleful accounts of
the dreaful : cooking he baa . te put np
with, and she thinks It so complimentary
that ahe burriea back to the 'dear boy
who Is suffering a, while all the time
It is pure, "unadulterated selfishness, and
