THE HOME THE COMFORTABLE KITCHEN. " An artiatir, kiich«D, why, how ab- surd I" exclaimed aoii woman to an- VkboT, when told what the kitchen in bar new hotise was to be. " Anything ia good enough for the kitchen, t«cause you oniy work there and when you want to reat thi&re ia the parlor and sitting-room." " Yea, that ia what tDany think, but ta I spend so much of my time there, ' am going to -make it ais eweet and irretty as I can," answiere<t the othen Lnd she did, too. Haw often does not one good bouee- vife say Co another when visiting, "Ob, iet's stay in tlie kitchen, it is »o cheer- ful." This, of course, does not apply to all Eltchuia, bat to the big, airy, sunny ones. The farmbouae kitchen needs to be a large goe, as a rule. A farmhiouae is bleiided with light from all sides, and If possible a kitchan should have win- lows ofl. the west and south sides. The r- "•. .HI keep it liealthful and cheery in winter, and wfa<}n surumer comes, morn- ing glory vines will cover the windows, keeping the kit4?bcn daxk and cool from kuom till night. Then, a hardwood jTloor adda to the appearance of the (room, besides being so muxrh easier to scrub. An old soft-wood floor may be pointed like the wood-work, with two coata of good paint, all cracks and crev- icee having been previously filletl with putty in urdcx to make the flour smooth. A hardwood floor, if oiled well, will be- come emootii and dark, easy to keep clean and will wear for years. It is muuh the cheaper in the end. A waina- coting three feet high all around the room, painted and varnished will look i«at and clean, for, as everyone knows, •.he walla near the floor always become •oiled and spotted first. The walls ibould be sniuotb and white and treat- ni, far the sake of bjgiene and clean- Uneas. to a coat of calcimine twice a year. Some people prefer painted or popej-ed walla in tue kitchen, but the muBt healthful, and really the prettiest, after ail are the clean, white calcimined uoea. If there is a hydrant in the kitchen, I sinK ia a necessity. Tlk? wnite en- iineled unea are by far the prettiest It is beat not to huve the sink boxed in all c be way to the fioor. That only makes damp and muai.v corners and be- comes a catch-all fur old. pans, brashes and rags, it is, though, a yplendid idea to huve a aectiua of the apace un- der the baain boarded in and a drawer provided for the stuve ciuthes, blouk- tng. brushes, pumice atone, etc. Drainage thouid be well looked after. If a new bouse is built, it should be placed on th« higheat Land, that all the water and drainage will run off the premises, but not into the well or cis- tern from which the drinking water is takt^n. Neglect of this hu.s cause^l more sickness than can lie imagined. Malaria, cuoaunipiion, typhoid fever and kindred dii>eases have their origin from such a source, and this ia more often the case in the country than in the towns wl^ere jierfect sewenige is provided. Barns ind other out-build- ingB, should be so situated that they have mycounectiou whiitover wilhlbo wella. The liigber the house ia, the more healthful. A deep oiuset or two built in the kitcbea wall, with glass doors, make the prettiest places Tor china and sil- ver. I'hey help to turniah ihe kitchen. Nails Vhould he provided for all |>aiia. and they, with the kettles, should be kept aouiew here out uf siught. Lhe win- dows, too, will look so pretty with white draw-curtauia. Very pretty oiiea are those of white dotted swias, <livided in the center and drawn over a brass rod. Tht'V reach only over the lower half >f tne window. A few pictures cheap- ly frame<l. a pretty clock-shelf, and a â- hiuing stove add to the appearance uf the room. If there is room in the kitchen for a lounge one should b»' pliu-ed there. There are so m.iuy pretty cheap wash materuils to be had now lu cxver it with that it can be made very cosy looking. There should also Iw a rock- er by thk" sunny winilow. where at oild monienl.1 the biisy luuisewile may sti'ul a few uiiiiutes of comfort. With all this, however, bright, shin- ing cleanliness is ut>solutoly nece-^sary if iieauty ia the point. No matter how plain or how nie.iger the furnishing. <f everything is neat aud clean, it is ttraotive. If one is to build a house, avoid stair- .v;iys and steps as much as possibi?. To have to constantly climb stiiirways 8 extremely tilâ- ^^sl>^le and dangi-rous tven for a Ikviithy iierson, aud Is a positive cruelty to a wtvik one. With ill out doors, as the fanner has, a houcM may coiver ;is much space as he chooaes to have it, and there ia less woi'k, ;unl mure comfort whi-n all the living-rooms suv on t ho one floor; but as far as health is concerned, the sleep- ing-rixuus should always be on the second floi>r. It is a good phvn to have a vestibule in winter and a covered porch in sum- mer outside the kitchen diwr. Here any wet or 8oile<l wraps antl muddy IkmiIs may be n>mo\'ed liefore entering the kitchen. Thus the housewife may keep her floor cle<ui. A fvw iH>gs in tho wall outside will l»e found handy, and possibly a lieiK-h on which is sivip. towel luid basin, should l>e jxrovided, in summer at any rate. Strijis of car- pet neatly boiuid, or homemade rURs placed in front of door, stove and sink, will save mujch h-ord scrubbing. These ruits should not be tacked down, but taken up and shaken free fi-om dust every day. If one wiahn* ,the kitchen may lie inade jiust aa chwrful ami ciwy as any Mhor room, and much comfort may thereby be derived. . ORAi'KS.

WJieu you have accccuplished this, put the pulp into a puree lain-line<l kettle on the fire. Heat gradually and then etew gently for about fifteen minutes, un- til, by testing, yc«i will find that the seeds cume oat easily. Turn them into a coarae sieve and press all the juice and pulp through this, extracting all the se^ds. Now put pulp and skins back on tht^ fire In the same kettle and when boiling add the sugar and continue to boil for about thirty min- utes. It should be a rich, dark color by this time, and quite thick; if it is not. boil fifteen minutes longer. Put in glaaa jars wh>?n cold, and set away for winter use.
