FUEL STOVES.

Th© question of stoves-Mil tho lieu* horn? to-day is a very important oneEven though tho gas stove is looked upon as the main convenience, the fuel sto.vo is a'necessity, whether used continuously or as an. emergency.

"When it is considered that to walk into a showroom with an open mirid to select a ttove it is possible to be shown over one hundred different types, stvles and sizes of stoves to choose.' from, this in itself goes to prove that in selecting the stove the matter should be given careful consideration. Through t*ie efforts of the manuiacturer it is Tiossiblo to obtain a stove which adds "to the ■ appearance of the kitchen, the bright parts in tho front alt being nickel-plated. The bright appearance of this stove will appeal strongly to those taking an interest in jjhc laying out ,of the kitchen. Other conveniences obtained with the stove aro the plate warmer, which is on the bottom, and has the effect of raising the'stave about six inches; and tho side- boiler, which is built. On tc the side and ranges from one to four gallons capacity. Both these items are appreciated in the country or where the stove is in constant use.

The tendency of tho architect to-day is to provide oil© recess sufficiently largo enough to accommodate both the fuel and the gas stoves, and as this is tiledi the following suggestion is made to give tho best results: —To install the gas stove, preferably on legs, on one side, and an r,U cast iron fuel stove, which does not require. to bo built in, and of the type of legs. On the other hand, apart from the fino appearance, this idea allows of each-stove to ba used and kept clean with a, minimum amount of trouble.
