The Mistress of the Home of 1025 will be a cheinist. She will be a trained scientist. She will regard her kitchen as a laboratory in wbich a thousand wonderful experiments will be tried. The idea that the kitchen is a place of drudgery, where only those enter who are forced by eircumstane.es, will have disappeared; and there will remáis only wonder that any one eould ever have been ignorant enoujili of the marvelona processes of sclence to have taken so little interest in the subject. The kitchen itself will disappear f rom the basement and trom the home forever. In its place, adjoinins the dining-room, so that the transit f rom the fire to the table may occupy but a Beeond'a time. wil be the "Household Laboratory." The mistress of the house and lier öaughters will fin d no more Interestlng period of the day tlian that which is spent in the wellllghted, well-ventllated, cleanly and comfortably arranired room givon up to the constant sm-prises which sclence offers to those who wil Study with interest her wonders in the realm of combinations of food materlata and the transformations brought abotrt by varying degrees of heat.- rJohn Brisben Walker in the May Cosmopolitan. Evidently tlie state is to have anottaer normal school in the near future1 and possibly at the hands of the present legislatura. The Argue favored the two nórmala wbich have already been pêned and is in favor of additional normáis when tlie state needs them, but it does not believe there is any need of an ndditional one at the present time. The Avgus belleves thoroughly in the doctrine that the state should provide for the training of teachers for the public schools. It nlso believes that in so far as the present needs go, the state has made ampie provisión. The state normal college is beter equlpped to take care of all comen than ever before. The two new normáis are so loeated and equlpped as to provide for all students who deslre to attend in their sections of the state. The University lias a Strong teachers department with a faeulty as able is any of the other departments. The Mine thlng is true of the various de.io.r.inational colleges and all are authorlzed to grant teachers certifieates. It does not seem, therefore. that there Is any crylng need at the present time for another normal school. The greatest need for such m institution is for the gratificatkm of one of the eommunitios now clamoring for its location and the strengthening of some faithful polltlclan who hopes thereby to créate for himself a future. These needs are likely to prove stronker than any other. however, and so the gtate wlll probably have another normal school in the near future. Undoubtedly the Sndlng of the jury in the Ascher murder trial is in aecordance with the minds of most people who have followed the trial, not only this one but the previous ones. During this trial there has bien manifested none of the bitter feeling which was manifestod earller in the case. It looks to an outsider as ttaough the trial had been conducted with the utmost fairness to the accused. The judge's charge was all that could be expected and the deliberations of the Jury long and earnest. The conclusión .'orces ltself on the Impartía! observer, flierefore, that the man Is giillty. The vidence convlnced the jury and bis course of life at the time of the murder was such as to make the commission of the crime by him seem but one forward step in the vicious iife he was leading. His life sentence will undoubtedly be looked upon by the majority as simple justice. It looks as though Russia has beon fooi ing the other nations all the time relative to her course in Manchuria. There has probably been no Intention on her part of withdrawing from this province at any time. Just why her nol ion in remaining in Manchuria should affect tliis natlon's Interests, provlded that she leaves the ports open to our trade, is not apparent. Her control of the province will undoubtedly develope trade and give a more table government. Her control will probably make for the betterment of the people of the province generally.
