arouters" For Champagne Merchants.

A curious thing is to be noted in con-
nection with the business warfare car
ried ON by the representatives of different
brands of champagne. These dealers
have adopted the policy of supplying
money to well dressed young men about
town who move in good society and fire.
quent fashionable cafes.
This money is to be spent in the pur-
chase of wine, the condition precedent
being that the brand praised, called for
and insisted on shall be that supplied to
dispensers of wet goods by the wholesaler
who puts up the cash.
So widespread has this custom become
that any one who demands a certain label
is regarded with suspicion by his COM
rades who are splitting a bottle" with
him.
Therefore those who desire to avoid the
reputation of 'touters" leave the ques-
ton Of brand to their guests or tell the
waiter to "bring anything you have cold"

COOKING UTENSILS.

Imagine an ordinary frying pan with
veil of fine wire beneath it, this wire
surrounded with a packing which would
retain and convey the heat, the wire
and packing covered with a metal case
as shown by the dark ring on the bot
tom of the pan in the illustration. The
pan with the electrical arrangement
does not differ from the ordinary pan,
except for the fact that it is slightly
heavier and has a wire attached. BY
connecting this wire with the socket
board and turning a button, similar to
that on the electric light, the pan is
heated almost as quickly as the ex-
PLANTATION is made. The broiler, oven,
coffeepot, teakettle and hot water tank
are all operated in the same manner.
The illustration shows the application
as it appears in a kitchen where the
coal stove has been used. The space
which was occupied by the range has
been built up with lockers and draw
ers, and the top is zinc covered. Upon
this top are placed the oven and different
utensils. Above the space the socket
board is placed. and wires from here
connect with the pots, oven, broiler,
etc. The odors and steam are carried
off through the old smoke fue. The
electrical broiler has the wire coil be-
heath the wires or Stats and is provided
with drip pan which retains all the
juices lost in the fire in ordinary broil-
ing.
The advantages of using electricity
are so great and so numerous that it
would be impossible to convey the facts
On paper. Suffice it to say that there is
none of the disagreeable dust or heat,
no smoke nor danger of fire.
In the ordinary stove the heat gener-
ated is 100 per cent. OF this heat so
per cent goes up the chimney, Is per
cent warns the air in the room and
incidentally the cook; the remaining
per cent is all that can be used for
cooking. With the new appliances
nearly all the heat is utilized in cook
ing, and the radiation is scarcely per-
ceptible; hence the economy.
For example. take the fat iron. If the
writer is not mistaken, ironing day, IN
summer, is dreaded by all who have
to do with it. By using the electric
iron the work seems pleasure com

A Parallel to Tyndall's Death.

In The Annual Register for 1929 there
is to be found a case curiously parallel
in many of its details to the sad death
of Professor Tyndall The entry runs
as follows:
SIN May of this year there died at his
house in Hill street, Berkeley square, in
his sixty eighth year, the Hon. and Most
Rev. William Stuart, fifth and youngest
son of John Earl of Butte, archbishop of
Armagh and lord prilnate of all Ireland.
His death was occasioned by mistake
in administering quantity of laudanum
instead of draft which had been pre-
viously prescribed. His grace having
expressed some Impotence that the draft
had not arrived, Mrs. Stuart inquired of
the servant if it had come, and being an
swered in the affirmative she desired it
might be brought to her Immediately.
The under butler went to the porter and
demanded the draft for his master. The
man had just received it, together with
a two ounce vial of laudanum for his own
use, which he was in the habit of taking
occasionally in small quantities for dis
ease with which he was afflicted. Most
unluckily in the hurry of the moment,
instead of giving the draft intended for
the archbishop, he accidentally substitute
ed the bottle which contained the lauda-
mum. In few minutes the mistake was
discovered, but before medical assistance
could be procured he was beyond relief"

before the public in all its prominence,
That the subject is interesting cannot
but be appreciated when the astonished
remarks of the visitors, upon viewing
some of the apparatus, are taken into
consideration.
What does electric cooking mean ?
1t means the absence of the old fash
toned range and moreno coall No
smokel No ashes! 1t means no building
of kitchen fires on hot summer morn
ings; it means the emancipation of fire
builders.
The workings of the electric current
are less understood by the general public
than any other subject connected with
our mercantile and domestic life. In
order to make the kitchen and its op-
Grafton more clearly understood the
writer will endeavor to throw little
light upon the nature of the electric
current and how it may be utilized.
The current may be likened to running
water, and with this idea one has the
best illustration. If water be run
through pipe two inches in diameter,
into a smaller pipe, say one inch in
diameter, the result attained is pressure
in the smaller pipe. Run electricity
through wire one-quarter inch in di-
ameter, and it gives no apparent result,
but turn this same current into small
er wire and the result is heat, as shown
in the ordinary incandescent lamp.
The small wire cannot handle the cur
rent fast enough; therefore it gets hot.
This is the fact that governs electric
cooking. The reader may say, "This
is plain so far, but the electric light
globe has practically no heat about it,"
The explanation is this: The wire in
Che electric light globe is in a vacuum
and is on this account surrounded to
certain extent by a nonconductor; hence
the heat radiation is very small.
If it were possible to surround red
hot stove with a glass case and to pump
all the air from the case, the heat would
not be felt to any great degree.
