FlthE VENETIAN KITCHEN. Il Would Bother an American Cook I to Prepare a Meal. Any one who keeps house In Venice will find that the picturesqueness of surroundings is carried out in all the details of life. The kitchen, for instance, will be more primitive than any kitchen you have yet seen if your apartment is anything short of a palace. It is apt to be a spacious room, around the top of which runs a row of shelves filled with pewter plates. There are rows of copper pots and saucepans, and there are fascinating earthen dishes and casseroles of every size, and in the inventory there is sure to be a round wooden board with a stubby handle, to turn out the steaming polenta on. Polenta is nothing in the world but an excellently made cornmeal mush —a cornmeal mush with the mushiness left out, for to be perfect polenta must have consistency. Besides the exact proportions of water, salt and meal, po lenta, to be good, must be stirred continually, aud a long cudgel for this purpose is another item in the kitchen furnishing. Our polenta was cooked In a copper pot hung on a crane over a wood fire, and this brings me to the cooking arrangements. There is no stove iu this Venetian kitchen; there is nothing to cook on by means of which an American cook could turn out a square meal. There is a wide soapstone hearth, the site of the ordinary range, surmounted by an imposing hood. On this hearth, without aid of andirons, is built a wood fire. The sticks are long, and only one end is lighted. The other end extends cut on the edge of the hearth, and as the lighted ends burn down the stick is pushed back into the flame. On either side of this fire stands .a fornello, an earthenware vessel something like . a large square flqweupot. In these are made charcoal fires quite large enough to heat two flatirons at the same time. This is all the cooking arrangement. There is no place sot roasting or baking. No bread, cake or biscuit Is ever ma le in an Italian house, (f you wish to roast a turkey or a la ,ge bird you send it in its pan, with the butter for its basting, to the baker, who roasts it to a beautiful browii for from 3 to 5 cents. The smaller fowls are roasted in one of the large copper casseroles, and by turning and twisting and basting incessantly the bird is perfectly roasted as one would wish. There is no place for keeping anything hot on this embryonic range, and with only three places for cooking something must be cooked first and set aside to make way for other dishes. On the other hand, there could not be a more economical ■way of cooking. In a very few moments the charcoal fire burns at full pitch, and if one wishes for just enough and no more to broil a chop one may have it without having to light a fire sufficient to cook an entire dinner, as one would have to do with us, for the fuel for an American kitchen range costs anywhere between 25 and 35 cents a day. In Italy fuel, including both wood and charcoal, costs 10 cents a day for a family of moderate size.— Pilgrim. Danton and the Clock. The clock in the anteroom of the ministry of justice in Paris having stopped, a watchmaker took it to pieces I and was surprised to find engraved on one of the wheels this Inscription: “J. Jean Blanchet, this 22d Aug., 1792, saw the Sieur Danton profane the emblem of divine kingship by breaking a fleur-de-lis, which so rightly adorned the hand of the clock.” The inscription had been hitherto undiscovered. Danton at the time mentioned was ministei of justice, and it is known that the clock stood for more than a century in the minister’s private room. Presumably he was irritated by watching the fleur-de-lis, which finished off the minute hand, as in many clocks of the eighteenth century, slowly mark fleeting time a-j he sat at bis desk, and on the day in question he suddenly started up In a temper and broke the emblem off. The hand still shows a mark where it was mended and the fleur-de-lis readjusted. The Jean Blanchet who in his ftespect for dethroned royalty recorded his indignation at Danton’s act is unknown, but he may be supposed to have been the watchmaker who mended the broken hand. Advice to Smokers. “More smokers contract consumption from neglecting an ordinary precaw tion than from inhaling smoke,” declared a physician, “None of us .cares to infect the lungs with ordinary street dust, yet every consumer of cigars inhales a more detrimental kind df dust every time he lights a fresh specimen. The majority of cigars have short interior fillings which contain lots of smaU particles of tobacco dust. Especially is this so of cigars that arohSAdiedte* great deal and of those tinK tietoome very dry from age. The ordinary smoker bites or cuts off the end and draws this dust into his. lungsy?ith\tMC first puff. Often it only lodges in tlje throat and produced ’ irritation. or hoarseness, with whf&P.tyost are afflicted.

_____ .wt-jEwr7 iflinritt--- iiimn-Mir.-T-ii)timiLimirirwry* AT LIRE’S -—— — Extracted from the Roots of Native, Forest Flanta Go Straight Back to Nature for Your Health. There is Your Strength.

Consider your body as an engine which supplies you with all activity of mind and body. Keep the machinery well oiled and it runs smoothly. It does not groan in doing its work. But let the stomach, which is the fire-box to the human engine, get "out of kilter" and we soon meet with disaster. The products of Undigested and decomposing food is poison to the system. We do not live on what we eat but on what we digest, assimilate, and take up in the blood. The blood in turn feeds the nerves, the heart, and the whole system, and all goes well with us if the blood be kept pure and rich. If no|, then the liver, which is the human filter within us, gets clogged up and poisons'accumulate in the body from over-eating, over-drinking, or hurriedly doing both. The smash-up occurs when the blood is poisoned by the stomach and liver being unable to take care of the over-load! The red flag of danger is thrown out in the shape of eruptions on the skin, or in nervousness and sleeplessness, the sufferer becoming blue, despondent and irritable, because the nerves lack nourishment and are starved. Nature’s laws are perfect if only we obey them, but disease follows disobedience. Go straight* to Nature for the cure, to the forest; there are mysteries there, some of which we can fathom for you. Take the bark of the Wild-cherry tree, with Mandrake root, Stone root, Queen’s root, Bloodroot and Golden Seal root, make a scientific, Glyceric extract of them, with just the right proportions, and you have Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. It took Dr. Pierce, with the assistance of two learned chemists and pharmacists, many months of hard work experimenting to perfect this vegetable alterative and tonic extract of the greatest efficiency. To make rich, red blood, to properly nourish the nerV&f and the whole body, and cure that lassitude and feeling of weakness * and nerve exhaustion, take Dr. Pierce Golden Medical Discovery. It the badge of honesty upon every bottle in the full list of its ingredients, printed in plain English, and it haff sold more largely in the past forty years than any other blood purifier and stomach tonic.

s extract is like Nature’s influence—th| f blood is bathed in the invigorating fl ' tonic which gives life to it and the vital t fires of the body burn brighter and ; their increased activity consumes the : tissue rubbish which has accumulated ■ in the system. The ’’Discovery” cures all skin affections, blotches, pimples, eruptions and ■» boils ; heals old sores, or ulcers, ’’white swellings,” scrofulous affections and 3 kindred ailments. The ”Golden Medical Discovery” is just the t?sue builder and tonic you' '3 require when recovering from a hard cold, grip, pneumonia or a long siege 'bO of fever or other prostrating disease. No matter how strong the constitution, O| our stomach and liver are apt to be sn ’’out of kilter” occasionally. In con-- !i f sequence our blood is disordered, for the stomach is the laboratory for the- ” sf| constant manufacture of blood. . ' It is a trite saying that no man it’ stronger than his stomach. Dr. Pierce’s | Golden Medical Discovery strengthens | the stomach—puts it in shape to make pure, rich blood—helps the liver and J kidneys to expel the poisons from the ; body and thus cures both liver and S kidney troubles. If you take this ? natural blood purifier and tonic, you ■ will assist your system in manufacturing each day a pint of rich, red blood, that is invigorating to the brain and | nerves. The weak, nervous, run-down, m debilitated condition which so many people suffer from, is usually the effect > of poisons in the blood; it is often in- : w dicated by pimples or boils appearing <■ on the skin, the face becomes thin ana H the feelings ” blue.” Dr. Pierce’s ” Discovery ” cures all blood humors as well as being a tonic that makes one vigor- . ous. strong and forceful. It is the only medicine put up for sale through druggists for like purposes that contains neither alcohol nor harmful drugs, and 4 the only one, every ingredient of which has the professional endorsement of the leading medical writers of this H country. Some of these endorsements q are published in a little book of ex- . ■ tracfe from standard medical works and will be sent to any address free, on receipt of request therefor by letter J or postal card, addressed to Dr. R.

Bear in mincf that the "Golden Medical Discovery” - has the badge of honesty on every bottle wrapper, in a full list of its ingredients.
