HOW TO RUN A RESTAURANT.
The French Manager Tells of His
Training and nethods.
New York Herald,

In a popular French restaurant. whose
proprietor is credited with having made
an enormous, fortune, there is young
man with blonde hair and mustache who
acts as manager during certain hours. he
is the son OF the proprietor, and, although
only q years old, he has been educated in
his present work by a very thorough ex-
perience in every branch of the restaurant
business. After finishing his school edu
cation, his father sent him 10 Paris with
letters of introduction to a prominent
restaurateur there. This man started the
youths training by making him a scullion
in his kitchens. He cleaned the silver first
and then the glassware. He was treated
like any other scullion, and his ears boxed
more than once by irate cooks. He also
learned how to wash dishes, scrub floors,
clean ranges (the meanest work in a large
kitchen), build fires and be handy in as
sisting the cooks.
Later he was instructed in the art of
cookery, and after graduating from the
kitchen became an assistant to the walt
ers. He learned how to set a table PROP
erly, to be quick without being awkward,
and to keep himself in the background as
much as possible. After a lengthy ap-
premiership he was made a waiter. His
fathers friend watched him sharply and
corrected his mistakes unheststlnRIy.
Finally he was made assistant manager
learned how to check dishonesty in en-
ployes, to buy economically. to control
men, TO keep the restaurant clean and at
tractive, to see that there were no leak
ages. and, in short, TO keep a watchful eye
on the hundred and one details that are
unavoidably attached to the management
of large restaurant.
After leaving The restaurant he travelled
through the wlne-growing districts and
saw how the grape juice was made into
wine. He also investigated the manufac-
ture of brandies and liqueurs, informed
himself as TO the relative values of differ
ent kinds of wines and liquors. and laid
the foundation for an expert knowledge OF
them.

LOVELY WOMAN.
When She Goes Shopping Man Has

New York Press.


When woman goes shopping, with parasol
in one hand and the other firmly clutehing her
purse and bargain counter advertisement cut
from the mornings paper, 1t is useless for the
man who encounters her to try TO enforce the
rule of the road which teaches him TO turn to

Queer Place for EeIs.
New York Evening Post.


Fishing for cells in a sprinkling-cart in
Bowling Green was a novel sight wit
messed this morning by the loungers of
that neigh borhoOd. The cartman that
sprinkes lower Broadway and the ada
cent streets had filled his cart with Croton
water from the hydrant in front of the
offices Of the American line, but when it
came to sprinkIing the water simply would
not run OUT. Investigation showed that
the sprlnkling apparatus was clogged up.
Ii was found necessary to take this apart
to see what caused the stoppage, which
was found to be two eels, one 2b inches
in diameter and 2 feet long and the other
about inch in diameter and foot long.
Ii the eels came from Croton Lake. which
they probably did, they travelled more than
forty miles before they reached the hy-
drant in Bowling Green.

PRICES AT ROCK BOTTOM.

FhESGS = KUN 81 ~ NJ
Extraordinary circumstances justify ex-
traordinary measures. If we demanded
high prices you would probably ask the
reason why, bue you don't want any ex-
ulanation of low prices. We are quoting
some fascinating figures. 1t hasn't been a
case of gradual reduction; It's a swift
descent to rock bottom. If you have a
brilliant Imagination, just exercise it
little trying to explain for instance, how
it is possible to sell TURN SHOES for S3.
The problem will stagger you. You had
better give it up. for you will never figure
ii out. This is putting temptation in your
way. Are you proof against it? For your

WASHINGTON, Nov. e3.-The Hawa- ian minister to the United States. Thurston, has replied to so much of MT. Blount's report sent Monday night as makes "a personal attack on him and those associated with him in the provisional government.
 He complains that, though named in the report as one ,f the leaders of the revolution. MT. Blount never consulted him nor gave him an opportunity to make a statement, though he had been ready and willing at all times to do SC. He ayers that Blount's evidence con- sists exclusively of prepared affidavits or answers to leading questions put by himself (Blount) at private interviews He states that there was no cross ex- animation of witnesses nor an opportu- nity to give contradiction or to explain the evidence.

MT. GarIisIe,s Response.

The recent banquet of the New York Chamber of Commerce was a memorable event The guest of the evening was Secretary Carlisle, and he responded to the following:
 Commerce demands and the honor of the country requires that the obligations of the United States shall be paid in coin current in any market of the world and that this question shall be settled for all time and beyond all controversy.
 l. dealing with such a subject, all important asit is, the distinguished speaker reasoned upon the lines of honesty and fair dealing. He preached sound doctrine and to men whose business qualifications and experience enabled them to better appreciate and act upon the senti- ments expressed.
 Our Government, above all things.  desires to act justly, not only in foreign matters, but also at home. Mr Carlisle's idea is that for every dollars worth of service and for every dollars worth of property our people want money good enough to use in any market in the world.
 The Secretaryls speeehis is pregnant with valuable suggestions. It tshould be read by all who are in anyway in- terested in the great financial ques- tions of the day. It contains ad- vice from one capable of advising, and deserves, to say the least of it, careful consideration at the hands of every good citizen.
