I WASHING DISHES Few Kitchen* Are Provided With the Proper Necessities. There are very few housekeepers who would admit that they did not know how to wash dishes, yet there are comparatively few kitchens properly provided with dish towels, dishcloths, a dish mop, a soap shaker and the proper array of dishpans to wash aud wipe dishes, to say nothing of the scrapers, wire dishclotha and other paraphernalia for wash lug pots and kettles. Theee ai tides do not cost much, so Chat It Is carelessness, not economy, which prevents a kitchen being properly provided in this matter. A dish mop costs 5 cents, a soap shaker about the same amount. A good scraper lor pots and pans and a wire dishcloth each costs 10 cents. Ex cellent dishcloths may be made of heavy linen crash, which scon becomes softened by Sewing as a business is an exacting and exhausting occupation. Long hours, fine work, poor light, unhealthy atmosphere —these are only some of the things which fret the nerves and hurt the gen eral health. Often there is a diseased condition of the womanly organism which causes backache or headache and the working of the sewing machine under such conditions is akin to torture.

Plenty of boiling hot soapsuds is necessary to wash dishes properly, and clean, boiling water 1b necessary to rinse them. It saves work and trouble to scrape all greasy dishes and plates with any food cling ing to them. Rub very greasy plates or plates on which fish has been served with a little piece of paper, to prevent the dishwater be coming thick or greasy or permeated with the odor of fish. Wash the pots and pans by themselves. After tha teacups, saucers and silver are washed, wa«h the plates and platters and main dishes of the dinner table.

The army of models in New York—girls who pose for their living—is growing larger day by day. The average price that the painter pays his model is B0 cents an hour. But, of course, there are exceptions. When a particu»ar girl Is needed for a particular piece of work she receives a special price. For example, Clara BeU, a well known New York model, who has been pronounced a per fect woman with the exception that one foot is one-thirty-second of an inch too short, has received as much as J25 a sitting. Within the past.few years a new field has opened for the girl who poses. &he no longer acts exclusively as inspiration for the painter or sculptor. She is a camera subject as well. Now that the big newspapers and magazines are so profusely illustrated with half-tone pictures, the clever model finds much work to do in posing for the photographer. She plctorially displays the newest fashions. She shows, by pictures, the fat woman how to get thin* and the thin woman how to get fat. She poses for photographers to Illustrate a serial story; she glvea picture-lessons in etiquette, and she helps to make more em phatic and attractive the words of the ad vertising writer. In fact, there is no limit to work of this sort that she can get if her face and form are pleasing, and she has at least a preliminary knowledge of the art of posing. A TIDY DUCHESS. The parquet floors at Blenheim make of every room a potential smoking-room, and are, therefore, particularly welcome to emokers. But there were days when car pets covered the floors, and when there was a duchess who particularly disliked to see them dirtied. Sir Joshua Reynolds knew that to his cost when he painted his great group of George, fourth Duke of Marlborough, his duchess and their children. He loved his snuff, even as the duchess her carpets. When he took a pinch the duchess ordered a servant to sweep up the refuse. That Sir Joshua would not allow. The dust raised, he said, would make all the family involuntary snuff-takers, and his threat was that he would paint them for posterity in the act of the sneeze. The Grand Trujk railway has a car specially built for transporting flsh for stocking streams and lakes along its line. Curse -OF— DRINK CURED BY White Ribbon Remedy.

THE POETIC LITTLE "SAETERJENTA" How She Herds the Norwegian Cattle on the Mountains and Makes Cheese That Is Sometimes Violent and Aggressive. In an article from Norway dated Laer dalaoeren, July 16, In the Chicago Record- Herald, William H. Curtis say a: Asaeter Is a summer ranch or dairy farm peculiar to Norway—a cabin among the pastures way up in the mountains, where the cattle are driven during the summer months and butter and cheese are made. Almost every large farmer has a saeter. When the spring field work at home has t>een finished and the grass is fresh and juicy on the hillsides the dairy maid and the herder, and sometimes the farmer and his whole household, call the cattle and drive.them ui> the eteep trails. The saeter may be ten or twenty-flve or even fifty miles distant. It may require several days to reach it. In such cases the cattle are kept together 'by the herders and dogs, and the family camps out in the open air if they cannot find accommodations in the farmhouses along the trail. In olden times it was customary to begin the sum mer pilgrimage on St. John's day, the 24th of June, or St. Hans' day, as they call it here, (but In these latter times people i are not so particular about observing dates and signs and omens as they used to | be. The cattle remain on the mountain side until the middle of September and often later, as long as their owners dare run the risk of an early snowstorm. Then they are rounded up and driven back to the farm In the valley. The butter and cheese, the results of the season's labor, are carted down and sent to market, end the manure, which has been carefully pre served in the course of the summer, Is also brought home and spread upon the fields. The total value of the dairy products of Norway is about $3,500,000 In our money, and nearly all of the butter and cheese is made at the saeters and on the individual farms. There are several co-operative creameries on the American plan, and it ie estimated that they handl© 250,000 gallons of milk daily, but they are only found, in thiokly settled sections of the country. Where the population is scattered it is not so convenient to send the cream out of the house, and there is a prejudice against it. The Norwegians are conservative and very stubborn a/bout some things. When their faith is fixed it cannot be shaken, and the women of the farming communi ties prefer io make their own butter and checße. The few creameries are fitted up with separators and other modern dairy machinery, but the great majority of the people still pour their milk into broad, shallow tubs of wood and skim it in the old-fashioned way. Nearly all the surplus butter made in Norway is shipped to Denmark. The same is true of Sweden. In the art of butter making the Danes have been more successful than any other nation, and. by reason of its superior quality Danish but ter commands a higher price in England, which is the great butter market of the world, than the best grades offered by other countries. Denmark, therefore, has become the foremost butter exporting country of the world, but a considerable amount of Danish butter is made in other countries. Her annual exports will reach nearly 200,000,000 pounds, valued at some thing like $60,000,000 or $75,000,000. Of this total perhaps 85,000,000 or 40,000,000 pounds come from Sweden, Norway and Finland. It is taken into the packing houses at Copenhagen and other cities and there worked over, mixed with the native Danish butter, colored with the Juice of the beet root, and,'as people gen erally suppose, treated by some secret process, which gives it a peculiar flavor and makes it less susceptible to the effects of heat, cold and dampness. More than 95 per cent of the butter shiped from Denmark is sold in England, the total reaching 156,201,601 pounds last year. The remainder of the Danish ex ports go to the tropical countries. You can find Danish butter all over the world, usually in one-pound tins, which sell for $1. The average export price at Copen hagen last year was 21.6 cents a pound. It is an intersting fact that the Danes import and repack a good deal of Ameri can butter. The imports from the United States will average a million pounds an nually. Danish bacon and hams have the same reputation as Danish butter. Germany be ing the principal market far its pork products. A fjood deal of those also are Imported from Norway. Sweden and even from the United States and repacked and branded with Danish trade-marks. A good deal of Danish 'butter comes from the Norwegian saeters, where it is made entirely by hand with the most primitive utensils and processes. The saeter, or cabin, has seldom more than two rooms, one for living; and one for work. The living room is comfortlese. and rudely furnished like a hunting shack, with bunks fastened to the walls, a plain teble, a few dishes and two or three hard bottom chairs. The dairyroom is usually sixteen or twenty feet square: a big fire place on one side with an iron kettle hanging from a chain for the preparation of cheese, and the other three walls lined with shelves upon which little shallow tubs of milk are placed for the cream to rise. Tin pans are never used in saeters and are seldom seen in Norwegian farm houses. The women prefer wooden ves sels bound with brass hoops which shine like burnished gold. When a. Norwegian housewife cannot think of anything else to do, she scrubs hSr milk tubs. The saeter Is inclosed with a fenca.which makes a sort of corral into which the cat tle are herded at night, unless, as at some of the larger establishments, two herders are employed, when they are allowed to graze out conttmmUfi the herd*women or herdsmen being ttfliGTed every twelve THE MINNEAPOLIS JOUKNAL. hours. Women and men work on even terms on Norwegian ranches and receive the same wages. There is little danger of the cattle wandering away, because the Norwegian cows are very domestic and are so accustomed to be stabled that usually they have to be driven away from the houses; but the mountain saeters are ex posed to the wolves, which often attack them if they are not watched. The dairy maids are called "saeterjen ter." They are supposed to have a partic ular costume, although I have never seen it worn. The garments worn by the "sae terjenter" in this part of the country are very plain and ordinary, and seem to have been selected for wear and not for looks. There is a good deal of romance about saeter life in books, but I should say that there is very little in actual experience. Many of the charming fairy stories in Norwegian literature have their scenes at these mountain dairies. The saeter girls have a peculiar and melodious cattle call, known as the "Huldrelok," which is said to have been inherited from the "Huldre folk," a snecies of fairies which are very pretty, but unfortunately have tails. The folk lore is rich in stories of the "Huldre folk." Usually a loung farmer falls in love with one at ta« girls, and when he discovers that she has a tail, is so shocked and disappointed that he throws himself over a precipice; or perhaps the "Huldre folk" gobble him up and carry him off into the mountains of the t Josteldalsbrae and keep him there, while'the girl he left behind him grieves herself to 4eath be cause of his desertion. We visited a saeter yesterday and found two young people, a boy and a girl, neither of them over 17 if we could judge from ap pearances, in charge of fifteen cows, and they expected to remain in that desolate place all summer making butter and myse ost, the native cheese,which is of a brown ish color and looks like maple sugar. It is not so strong as Dutch or Swiss cheese, and has a sweet, insipid taste that is very much liked by the Norwegians. It is only one of many varieties, however. You can get a pungent cheese without difficulty. In the country districts cheese is one of the chief articles of diet, and at the little inns along the highways it is furnished in all grades of taste and smell. A few varie ties are quiet, tame and humble; the rest Js more or less aggressive, and some is actually violent. I have known a certain woman to leave the table when the cover is lifted from a modest-looking Norwegian cheese! and I have often been required to ascertain Its exact location and secure Eeats at the other end of the table before she will go in to breakfast. Our little "saeterjenta" had the heart of a'poet, although her brother seemed stup id, aiid even liberal presents of money did not waka him up or make him (interesting. I do not eupipose that this child had ever been twenty miles from the humble cabin in which she was born, but the wide, wide world had been opened to her through the books she studied at school. She could talk a little English, and knew a good deal about the United States. She has a brother in Minnesota, and several girls aud boys from her neighborhood have gone across the Atlantic and found homes upon the saeterless prairies of the north west. She would like to go herself, she said, but hor parents are getting old, her mother is in poor health and the entire responsibility of the household and the farm work is upon her little shoulders. Yet she is brave and contented. Her mind is clear, her imagination is active, and among her homely surroundings she has found food for thought and an oppor tunity to give expression to the poetic sentiments that inspire her. Each c$ her fifteen cows has a name. One she calls the Moan Lady, because she often wanders away at night; another the Crown Wearer, because of a peculiar tuft upon her head. She addresses them all in terms of affection and talks to them and seeks their sympathy, for, poor child, they and that etupid, tow-headed "broder" are her only rnmipfinions in that desolate place. It is a singular fact that barley, rye and outs will ripen in this latitude, not far from the polar circle, in exactly the same time", ninety days, that it requires In the south of France, provided the seed has been grown in this climate. This is ex plained by botanists on the theory that the length of the ar.etic days compensate for the lack of heat, although the direct raya of the sun, as In Dakota and Canada, are warm and penetrating. Botanists have also observed that the leaves of the trees in the northern districts of Norway are larger .than those of the same species grown in southern regions of Europe. A maple, for example, brought fr&m Italy will grow leaves twice as large if trans planted to this northern latitude. This leaf development is also attributed to the long continuance of sunlight, in the sum mer. I have already alluded in previous letters to the deep colors of the flowers and the richer flavor of the fruits, which are explained upon the same theory. Wheat can be cultivated as far north as the 65th parallel; bnrley is pretty sure to ripen in eight weeks up to the 70th degree of latitude, and oats can be grown with profit as high as the T2d degree. Oats Are grown more than any other cereal. then barley and mangcorn, a sipecles of grain whkh Is said to be a mixture of bar ley and oats. It is fl* for human food and equally- E°od as fodder for cattle, espe cially for fattening swine. The Lapps mix It with the milk of the reindeer and make a cake which is T>elieved to be a preventive of scurvy. Wheat yields an average of 16.9 bushels to the acre, rye 17.3, barley 18.2, and oats 16.4. It require* native seed, however, to produce these crops. THE NEW STORE Solid LOQIC or Fr^ay buyers.
