Secrets Of the Kitchen.

The waiter carries his order to "a man
who il known "a the ''dummy-manp
and quietly repeats il to him. The
dummy-man takes down on a slip the
number 0f the waiter, the time the or
der was given aud the items o. 10. All
this j. -hor,nrId, but not the short
hand written by ;he giddy young thing
who chews gum and can't read her
notes. The dummy-man is inventor
and pttcatee OF a shorthand Of his own
which has its advantages even If il does
make an order look like a Chinese laun-
dry ticket. For instance, two short
horizontal lines stand for sirloin
steak. Ii there j. little circle Just
above the lines it means that the man
who gave the order Is not going to call
on his fiancce and will take onions on
his steak. II the circle stands az the
end Of the lines il means he wants
mushrooms.
When the waiter has given the order

really starts the machinery. Right
behind him stretch the great ranges,
manned by twenty cooks Turning
To them the dummy-man quietly calls
of the order in its different portions.
There IS cook for each department or
section of the commissary, so the
vegetable part OF the order X turned
over . the vegetable cook, the fish 10
the fish cook, the steaks go 10 the
broiler, while game, fowl and roast
meats are dealt with by the carver.
When the orders have been separately
prepared they are turned over to the
chef, who inspects them carefully. II
they pass muster the Or,ier goes on to
the dumny-man, who checks il up by
his record, garnishes it, puts il on the
steam table to keep hot and presses
button. This causes a drop bearing the
walters number 10 fall in the dining
room and i the walters notice that his
order is ready.
People generally suppose the chef TO
be a busy cook working at the range
with his crew Of men. Such is not the
ease. In the modern restaurant the
chefs entire duties are those of an
overseer and disciplinarian. Strange
a. it may seem, hehind the scenes it
would be considered less Offense for
q subordinate cook TO send out a tough
lobster or an underdOne steak than 70
talk Beyond the doors the chef i ab-
sOlute master, and holds each man TO
his work. The result speaks for itself.
The entire kitchen of this mammoth
restaurant runs like clockwork, and at

hundred guests without waiting 10 be

A Curious Clock.

\ curious clock has been made by a
clockmaker at Warsaw named Gold
fadon, who has worked at ii six years.
The cl6ck represe sents a railway station,
with waiting rooms for the traveller,
telegraph and ticket offices, a very pret-
ty well lighted platform and a flower
garden in the center of which is a
sprinkIing fountain of clear water.
Past the railway station run the lines.
There are the signal boxes, signal
lights and reservOirs-in fact, every
thing that belongs to a railway station,
10 the smallest detail.
In the cupola of the central tower is
q clock which shows the time of the
place; two clocks in the side cupoias
show the time at New York and Pek-
in, and on the two outermost towers
are a calendar and barometer. Every
quarter of an hour the station begins 10
show signs oflife. First of all the tele-
graph official begins to work. He de
spatches a telegram stating that the
line is clear. The doors open, and on
the platform appear the station master
and his assistant; the clerk is seen at
the window OF the ticket office, and
the pointsmen come out Of their
boxes and close the barriers.
a long line of people form at the
ticket Office to buy tickets; porters ear
ry luggage; the bell is rung, and then
oat of the tunnel comes "A train, rush
ing into the station, and, after the en-
gine has given a shrill whistle, stops.
i workman goes from carriage to car
Tiage and tests the aXles with ham
mer. Another pumps water into the
boiler of the engine. After the third
signal with the bell the engine whis-
ties and the train disappears in the OPP
pOsite tunnel; the station master and
his assistant leave the platform, and
the doors of the waiting room close be-
hind them; the Pointsmen return into
their boxes, and perfect stiffness pre-

had brought and take out-guess what!
The tattered remnants of cambric
Mother Hubbard.
As the widow gave little s1ueal of
surprise, he said, with stately bow:
'I have bring NE chemise OF mad
anne, which ze wind brings to me 50
long ago" An1 with an impetuous
motion he tore open his coat and there
over his heart lay the folded pink rib
bog which had been at the throat of
the gown.
Somehow after that he didn't need
words, for the widows DARK head rest
ell on the ribbon and both his arms
were about her.
Now there is something irresistibly
funny about the courtship Of middle
aged lovers. Young lovers are inter
esting enough, and old lovers are pa
thetically grotesquc, but when two
commonplace people in middle life
fall in love with each other defy them
to behave so that they are above ridi-
cUle.
50 we will draw the curtain here,
when 1 tell you that after her lover
had gone the widow whispered to
Tom: $50 romantic, isn't il? But how
absurd to call it a chemise." The wild
ow returned to her old home and to
Priscilla; and il has leaked out that
she is wearing a ring with ''Happy
New Year" engraved inside, so the
neighbors believe that the wedding is
to come oil ON an anniversary of that
day.
But | have told sll that l am going
to, now, and if you really want to
know if they are married, just look
among the marriage notices on New
Years day.

HIS DREAM.
Pointed Out the Location OF IndIana's
Greatest Oil Well.

Pointed Out the Location OF Indiana's
Greatest OIL Well.
The Akron Oil company has drilled in
an oil we'll on the Banter farm, near Mont
pelier, which Is the greatest gusher In In
diana and flowed 80 barrels In the first 40
minutes. The well Is on the farm Of John
Banter, and thereby hangs the tale of a
dream strangely fulfilled. Ten years ago,
when oil in its crude state was unknown
In Hoosierdom, Mr. Batter dreamed that
a deep hole had been drilled in certain
spot on his farm, and that from 1t great
streams of black oil flowed over the fields,
filed all the hollows and sent murky
waves washing against his house.
Only dream, 1t was thought, but recent
developments brought a glimmer of hope
of it's being fulfilled.
When the Akron Oil company leased his
farm, Mr.. Banter was asked If 1t made any
difference where the well was located
"No," he replied, "but would like to
have 1t at point specified in dream
had some years ago." The stake was set
on the identical spot, drilling began, and
the result is Indiana's greatest oil woll.
Thus all the details Of the strange dream
have been brought vividly to mind. The
record made by the well Is said to exceed
that of any known well.-Cincinnati En-
Quirer.

The Great Undertaking. os Newly Form,
ed Association.

A I'd Association.
The association which has been formed
for the specific purpose OF improving the
American speech has entered new and
most important field. At n meeting of
the society recently held In New York Its
objects were explained as including both
the cultivation OF the manner OF utteranco
and tho enrichment Of tho vocabulary Of
the people. They arc To make "elocution,
or expression I'm its broadcast sense, ono Of
the principal parts OF education and to i'm
prove oral expression"
The American utterance, we regret TO
say, II usually bad. The speech Of both
men and women, even where their asso-
Citations are actually or relatively refined,
IL apt To bo harsh, nasal, fat and discord-
ant. IL seems &ingracions to say IL, bat
tho truth compels us To confess that gen-
orally the feminine voices arc tho worst.
They have not learned how To use the In
strument Of the human voice I'm ordinary
conversation 80 as to get from 10 musical
sounds. This does not apply 10 all parts
OF this country equally, Of course, though
there are few places where the voices Of
the majority OF even refined women are
sweet and at.sactive.
This evil has been attributed TO our eli
mate, but IL Is due rather To the surpris-
ing neglect OF parents TO pay any attention
To the education Of their children In a
proper, graceful and correct speech. They
allow them To grow up In ignorance OF tho
art OF managing their voices, though IL
could bo taught to them with "a far loss
expenditure Of patience and money than
Is required for the instruction Of girl In
piano playing. The art of elocution, too,
has now been made more scientific. Tho
principles on which correct speech depends
are well settled. Yet parents will listen
without protest while the children speak
In uttor defiance OF rule.
This American Society For the Improve
ment Of Speech has therefore an opportu-
nifty to earn the gratitude Of tho public by
calling the attention Of parents and Of
teachers TO this deficiency In American ed
ucation. It's further aim of seeking to
cultivate the use of better language also
entities 1t to encouragement. The vocab-
ulary OF great part Of the people who
imagine themselves to be well educated,
college graduates, for instance Is poor and
choap. This country has advanced rapidly
In scientific requirement, particularly dur
ing the last generation, but the elegancies
and refnements which this society Is or
ganized to promote are yet SO far lacking
that 1t has n wide field for its special cul-
tivation.-New York Sun.
