There lias been discovered in a New Jersey village an old lady, Mrs Herliert Sheets, who would deserve mention in a biographical dictionary of heroines of the kitchen, for she has cooked all the meals of her household on the same stove since her marriage 61 years ago. AH the year round for every year in this period" she has regularly prepared three meals a day, and, in addition, until recently' she has baked her own bread also." The stove itself is of an old-fashioned, design, with ample firebox, large oven, and four lids. It has principally burnt wood, but it will burn coal also.' ''Mrs Sheets keeps it so brightly polished that the reporter who tells the tale says that it does not look old even now. The old lady’s family seems to have thrived on her cooking, for her live stalwart sons and daughters, in addition to her husband, are still living. She has, moreover. 80 grandchildren and great-grandchildren, not all of whom, however, have had a chance to taste her pies and “eookiee,” as they are scattered all over the United States.
