Roman Cooks,

The Romans boast of their cooks. "Rome
to-day" says an enthusiastic gourmet, twill
throw down the gantlet of competition to the
cooks of the world. And who dares take it
up? You can dine in Rome at restaurant,
a la carte, in better style, with better dishes,
and for less money than in any city in the
world. No such dishes and no such bottles,
no such cleanliness and inviting surroundings
can you find in any restaurants in Europe"
Italian cooks have become famous not only
in Italy, but in every capital of the world.
They can provide variety of dishes, and do
it-when they have chancellor reasonable
prices. London has great number of sue
ceSsful Italian caterers, and Paris shows not a
few.

A steamer Saved by a Bag of Oil.

From the San Francisco Alta.
That vessels can be saved n a storm by the
towing OF perforated bags of oil astern has
been fully demonstrated. The last case is
that of the British steamer Stanmore, which
arrived here from Queenstown. During the
voyage the vessel encountered heavy gale,
the force of which, combined with the heavy
seas, prevented the vessel from making head
way, and threatened to sink her. Seeing this,
the master tried the efficacy of towing a bag
of oil aStern, with the most fortunate results.
The force of the waves was broken and the
steamer was saved. This simple measure Is
being tried oftener as these successful expert
ments are made known.
