MoNARCHs OF THE KITCHEN.
Professors aud Pupils liz the Art of cooLin

Professors aud Pupils In the Art of Cooking.
The cuisine has become such an impor.
tant feature of the American hotel system,
especially at interchangeable hotels, and ia
given so much and such careful attention,
that information relating to the culinary
artists, who are monarchs of the kitchen,
is always received with interest
Chefs de cuisine have in this country be-
come individuals of considerable impor-
lance. They command high salaries and
exact certain privileges and conditions,
which hotel proprietors, as rule, regard il
ms policy to grant The cAef or French
cook, used TO designate Frenchmen alone,
but now includes German, italian and
Spanish cooks, who, of late years, have re-
markably increased in numbers, all having
their clubs and societies. While the French
are considered the best cooks the Germans
and Italians, borrowing largely from the
French culinary Schools have made consid
cradle progress, and in many cases, com.
mand as high salaries rs the 'sartist from
Paris" Many of the leading hotels and
restaurant chefs to-day were formely second
and third cools under some noted culinary
professor, and, if one may judge from the
character of the cooking at some hotels,
they have graduated and developed into
full-hedged chefs too soon. 9 p
Ohefs for summer or watering place hotels
are engaged by the season, which usually
covers the time from the opening to the
close of the house. Salaries range from
800 to 5000 month, or from $500 to 5000
the season. The chef selects his own as
'istants, and usually has, year after year,
the same broiler and roister. Tho chief
qualification of a good cook, or chef, is his
ability to make soups, sauces and entrees,
and usually he confines himself to these
things, although experimenting the cuisine
generally. Every morning memorandum
Of the number Of people in the hotel is sent
to him that he may know how much what
quantity-of food TO prepare, and after
breakfast lie and the steward consult regard

the term of six years by the Governor, and

BANK OF ENGLAND NOTES.

The album in which specimens of the
various counterfeits discovered are preserv.
ID also contains some interesting proofs Of
the extraordinary durability Of the notes.
There are three for f25, which passed
through the Chicago FIRE, and were sent in
for redemption by Mr.. r. n. Nottin, Pay
muster of the Chicago and Alton Railway.
Though they are burned to crisp black
ash the paper is scarcely broken, and the
engraving is es clear as in new note
There are also five E5 notes which went to
the bottom of the sen in the unfortunate
training ship Eurydice, and were recovered
after six months immersion They nre no,
even frayed. The paper is stained a light
brown, and that Ia the only effect their long
exposure to salt water has had. We are
shown in small case covered with magni-
flying glass a few charred fragments of
paper, for which the bank paid f1 400.
They are the remains of several notes de-
stroyed in o fire, and were redeemed at their
full value, the owners being able to give
their numbers and dates, and to satisfy the
bank that they had actually been destroyed.
There is another note in the album which
was In circulation 125 years before Il was
returned to the bank for payment. No note
IL issued twice. As soon as a note is return
ed, even though 1t has been ont but few
hours, 1t Ia cancelled. Very often note

eighty days. The notes have many strange

to contain thirteen hundred bottles ofspirits,
