The season tor smoice ana iog UASUEGUU a. and accordingly the Association for the abatement of thisnuisanceisonce more inactive operation, and I hear of lectures beingivenat tbe Parkes Museum and elsewhere on the subject, and exhibitions of various devices in the way of stoves, which con- sume their own smoke or burn coke and smokeless coal to satisfy those who begin to feel rather ashamed of contributing to the general darkness and suffocation by allowing their chimneys to pour forth streams of unconsumed carbon. Moreover the wastefulness of this proceeding seems to have appealed to many who would not care very much about fouling the general atmosphere, and I think all persons who are putting new grates into their houses, or are taking new residences, should make a point of seeing the newest inventions in this respect.. In the rooms of the National Health Society, at 44, Berners-street, I yesterday saw a stove burning most brightly and giving out great heat from what I saw to be a coke fire, but I was told that this stove was so constructed as to make its own coke from a supply of small or slack coal, with which it is fed at the back by an apparatus. This receptacle is only nlled once a day, and as the fire burns, the gas is taken out of it and consumed, and then it falls forward and is used up as coke or smokeless coal, without requiring any attention. The economy of this in. vention is very great, for the slack" costs but eleven shillings a ton, and the Secretary of the Society, in whose rooms I saw it, told me that one ton had served for a daily fire throughout the last winter. I do not know the name of the stove or its inventor, but I think this information, with much else, may be got at the offices of the National Health Society in Berners-street. One great source of our dense and dirty atmos- phere in London and all large towns is found not only in the factory chimneys which ought to be summarily dealt with by law, but in the multitudes of kitchen fires in our well-to-do houses, and the necessity for fires to cook by both in summer and winter in the smallest tenements, nay even several in one house where the poor live, as they do, often huddled together in one room t Those of us who know how the poor man's dinner is cooked must recognise the dreadful waste of fuel that takes place—when the fire has to be lighted and to burn up as quickly as it can, whilst the wife, who is per- haps out working as well as her husband, runs to the nearest shop to buy a bit of meat, which is frizzled or burnt, over an extemporised fire which is left to die out when its work is done, tiU the untidy grate, full of ashes, is again called into requisition for the tea kettle. If there could be something like an economy of labour and material introduced into the poor man's home how much better chance there would be of realcomfort. I have lately heard much of a proposal for the improved and cheap supply of cooked food to the working population on a self-supporting basis, which com- mends itself greatly to my mind, especially when I think of such communities as those which exist in our large manufacturing towns.and in the East and working parts of London, where the women are often as busy earning money as the men, where they know nothing of domestic art and where the waste in such cooking as they can do is incredible, in comparison to what they might get by co-operation. A little pamphlet published by Captain Wolf, the originator of the idea of co- operative kitchens in London, begins by an illus- tration of the folly of a poor woman who, whilst mending her children's clothes breaks her last needle and then buys at the nearest ironmonger's a piece of iron wire to make with her own hands a new needle, instead of going to the next haber- dashers to buy a dozen for a penny He shows that this is not a greater waste of time, labour, and money than takes place every day in every workman's home where each meal costs at least thirty to fifty per cent. more than it need have done. Captain Wolf shows, I think, that by the estab- lishment of large kitchens, in certain local centres, excellent and wholesome food might be prepared and sold to the public at considerably less than is now spent on bad and insufficient meals. But in order to get the full benefit of this co-operative system it must be started on a very large scale, with well devised appliances and the capital neces- sary to buy material in the cheapest market. Were this constantly recurring demand for daily cooking removed from our poor population, Captain Wolf thinks the greatest benefit would be felt in many ways. The firing would be saved, the woman's health and time also, and she could give more attention to her children, the washing, mending, and cleaning of her home, or the earning of money by some branch of industry. He says moreover that the faculty of good and economical cooking is a gift; like that of poetry or painting, and but few women are ever really good and economical cooks, and yet millions of women have to cook daily. more or less unsatis- factorily. The prevailing notion that the kitchen is peculiarly the woman's province and the very heart of domestic happiness is met by contrasting the past with the present and divesting the subject of its attendant sentimentality by recalling the time when every housewife brewed, and baked and distilled medicines and potions for her family- operations which are now recognised as being better done by machinery, and on a larger scale. The kitchens of the middle and upper classes have now, he thinks, become expensive luxuries which ought not to be imitated by those who of necessity desire to get food as nutritious, good, I think, as impor- possible for their money. It is, I think, as impor- tant that our people should be well fed as that they should be well housed, and both projects require a large preliminary outlay of capital which must certainly pay those who provide it in the end, even in the way of pecuniary interest. Captain Wolf proposes to start 130 kitchens in London just to cover the most urgent demand, supplying 300,000 portions of food a day at a rate of 4d. each each portion to contain 3-5ths of a quart of consistent vegetables, such as peas, lentils, beans, Icc., to 4-5ths of a quart of vegetables as potatoes, cabbages, with green or broad beans, &c., and ilb (raw weight) of meat, and eatable fat and gravy. The sale of the food is to be limited to certain hours—between half-past eleven and half-past one p.m. The idea is to have good stews in rotation, fried and boiled fish, steak puddings, &c., and considerable employment will be provided for numbers of women in preparing the vegetables, cleaning the utensils, &c. Not only is it proposed to nave comtortaoie dining rooms wnere these dinners may be eaten, but the chief support of the institution is supposed to come from customers who will buy portions of food for themselves and their families, and take them home to place on the table already spread and waiting supplies. Tins prepared on purpose and containing a hot water chamber will be sold or lent for a trifle, and all round the room where the food is served out there will be taps of hot water ready to fill these vessels, so that the dinner may be set on the home table as hot and fresh as though it had been cooked under the same roof, and with none of the consequent smell, dampness, and inconvenience. To those workers in our great towns and cities who are too far from their homes even to dine there, these "National Public Kitchens" will be of incalculable value, if ever they are fairly started where most needed whilst to the numberless families who live in lodgings without accommodation or skill for the proper cokery of of food, such meals as will be possible to get for less than is usually spent un- satisfactorily, will do much to improve health and promote temperance and morality. All who advo- cate total abstinence from intoxicating drink should assist in any movement likely to provide better food for the people, for nothing tends so much to create a craving for stimulants as insuffi- cient and innutritious food. I advise anyone who feels interested in the matter to get Captain Wolfs little pamphlet, in which he gives every detail of his plans most carefully and correctly calculated from & business point of view. His address is 6" Priory-terrace, Bedford Park, Chiswick. The distances in and around London are almost Erohibitive of social visiting, excepting to such as have carriages at their command, or unlimited means for cabs and hired conveyances. Clapham is about as far away from Regent-street as any place venturing to call itself a suburb, or included in the Metropolitan postal district. Yet it was here we were bidden to listen to something about a Nursing Society, which undertakes to nurse the sick poor of East London in their own houses, and it was here, too, that the Queen's daughter, the Princess Christian, came to show her deep, in- terest in the movement. In any less well known or hospitable house, such a gathering as filled Mrs. Stephen Balli's drawing-room would have been impossible, but the temptation to drive solar in this case was not entirely due to the cause itself, but all who had ever been there before, re- tained a vivid recollection of the beautiful and gracious hostess, who, Greek lady as she is by birth, welcomes all who come to her English home in a manner and with a smile worthy of the women. immortalised by her own great poet Homer. She sat facing the crowded audience, which filled HER drawing room, on the left-hand side of H.R.H. the Princess Christian, looking herself an ideal prin- cess, with her classic head uncovered, her hair simply arranged, and wearing a perfectly plain rich, claret-coloured velvet dress, a small mil of good lace round the neck, which was fastened at the throat by a small brooch of brilliant dia. monds. Well-fitting long tan gloves covered her arms to a few inches above the wrist, and she held a beautiful lace handkerchief in one hand. The Princess wore a brown soft woollen dress, made simply; a brocaded black silk cloak, which she removed, and a small bonnet to match her dress, relieved with a tiny red tuft at the side. In her hand she carried a large bunch of white and Parma violets, presented to her on her arrival by Mrs. Ralli's young daughter. The Bishop of Bedford was in the chair, for the East of London is in his diocese. I have always taken personal delight in this good Bishop, since I discovered in North Wales how excellent a botanist he is, and how great is his interest in all natural science, the proper and con- sistent study for a theologian, as f believe. The Honourable Mrs. Stuart Wortley, the friend ard promoter of this nursing society, sat on the right of the Princess, looking like the mother of all that was good and kind, gentle and sympathetic, in the whole matter. She, though connected by birth and marriage with the great and noble of the land and living intimately amongt the most fashionable women of the day, was dressed in a simple pale Sey cashmere gown, with a small straw bonnet of the same colour and a veil to match. Her tall, slight and stately figure conic* not have been more suitably attired, and her whitened hair enhanced the purity of her com- nfetfnn. as no feathers or jeweL, could have done, i Jhe meeting was perfect success ?'ca?? needed fliA idvocacy, of the speakers, Br.AcMand, o??rdamd others, though the simple eaest ??onv borne to the work of the nurses, and the h?n Xv aS to the parish clergy, by the Rev.

A Se? of the work done by this society ?as been w?enbyMrs. Stuart Wortley, and is worth read- mgby aU who do not already know what a b. sing these nurses are in the poor homes to w_h??ch tt? go. It can be had of the matrons at 49, Phil- So??eet E..or 186, High-street, Shadwell, E ?mon?t the guests of Mrs. Ralli on this occa- sion I saw the Mother Superior and a Sister of St Peter's Home, Kilbum.an institution which I ?Sy visited to see an old family housekeeper who is here spending her latter days in comfort and happiness. Disaoled?-om work, her fronds an-ange to pay a small weekly sum for her to be under the care and in the home of these good ladies, who nurse the sick and refresh the weary both old and young, for besides the provision here made for those who have borne the burden and heat of the day, there is a nursery for ailing children and convalescent homes atLittleHamptonandelsewliere under the superintendence of the Sisters. When I went to see my old lady I found her in a pleasant room with about ten others like herself, feeble and wanting care, but all dressed in pretty violet- coloured dresses, with comfortable little shaded wool shawls to match, and caps trimmed with the same colour. Some younger women came in wear- ing pale yellow ribbons, and my old friend laugh- ingly said to me: We are all violets or primroses here, you see!" The work done in St. Peter s Home appeals to a class for whom there is but little pro- vision in the charities of this great metropolis; those that can pay a little, have been used to eomfort and respectability all their lives, but now when failing in health are left without the means of keeping up their accustomed habits and circumstances of existence. But I must not tire my readers with more words about the poor, whom we have always with us, though my surprise constantly increases at though of charities existing, and sup- ported by good men and women, of whom the ivorld hears but little. I dined the other evening at a table where all the appointments were of the most artistic sort, but what struck me most were the. serviettes or table napkins which were in fact large, 80ft, snowy, muslin, Eastern towels, edged with the most lovely silk and gold em- iloft, snowym, ost love ll almost too beautiful broidery. They seemed almost too beautiful for their purpose, but as I hesitated to use mine, my hostess told me that she had brought them from Egypt herself, and they washed perfectly well, and were constantly used where they were made, as hand towels before and after meals. By the way, the exquisite embroidery of this sort, done by Bulgarian ladies in the East, is to be seen at 23, Mortimer-street, in great quantities just now, and I hear that Miss Franks, who receives it there, can get handkerchiefs embroidered in gold wash- ing thread, just as these serviettes were orna- mented, or she can get merely a monogram worked for ladies who send their handkerchiefs to her. She has just told me that she has now the patterns of Lady Harberton's special dual garment or divided skirt, and is glad to get it made for customers. All who have relatives in Java, as 1 have, re- joiced when the mail came in, giving particulars of the terrible catastrophe of which the papers leave but imperfect accounts. Although assured of the personal safety of our dear ones by telegram, the thought of what such a volcanic outburst might have subjected them to, was very alarming. I read in a letter now before me "our houses shook and trembled, noises as of thunder or cannonading continued all night, and we sat outside in a sort of shed the whole time, not knowing what would follow By twelve at noon the place was in total darkness owing to a fall of dense ash, rain. An immense wave was teported to be rising outside the harbour and threatening to engulp the whole island. Whilst all the thundering was going on we received your last letter, and were greatly saddened by the thought that at any moment we might be swal. owe up and an end, put to our hopes and our lives. Happily after twenty-four hours of this terrible experience the air cleared, the noises ceased and Batavia was itself again, though its one well-known volcanic mountain Kra Katoa had disappeared beneath the waters ol the straits of Sunda, and seven other elevations worse than itself, were visible to the terrified in- habitants who had escaped the fate of the hundreds of Europeans and thousands of natives, who were engulphed on the low-lying lands of the coast." I did not like to read the prophecy of a Frenchman, who is said to have calculated and predicted this eruption, that a similar and worse tragedy of the same sort may be expected in the year 1886. I 81Dcerely trust he may be wrong, or that such an idea is the invention of a sensational itor PENELOPE. London, Thursday. FPNELOPB* I
