The Chatting Dish Two Thousand Years Old

The Chahng Dish Two Thousand Years Old.
Women who first priced their chatting
dishes for their convenience are now
feeling an added pleasure in using a
utensil that has a history at least Of
1900 years. They refer to what Seneca
said of them and quote Soyer's descrip-
ton of those used by the ancient Greeks
and Romans. The dish is also referred
to by Cicero and is supposed to be the
"authepsa, kind of saucepan of Co
rinthian brass of considerable value
and made with such art that its con-
tents cooked instantly and with little
fire. This simple and ingenious vessel
possessed double bottom, the upper
most one holding the light delicaoies
destined for the dessert, and the fire
was underneath. Another author says:
"Not only did the chatting dish adorn
the tables at royal banquets and con-
tribute to the gastronomio enjoyments
of the rich, but it was in high favor
then, as now, among the representa-
tives of the histrionic art. Pliny relates
that the tragic actor, Asopus, had dish
worth 1000 sesterces. - The chatting
dish was known in America as early as
1920, at about which time it is recorded
that wealthy father, wishing to give
his daughter "a truly elegant wedding
outfit" ordered for her from England,
among other things, ''six small brass
chatting dishes, 4 shillings apiece"

THE ISLE OF BOREDOM.


As you sail through life take pains and steer
Away from the island that lies too near
The isle Of Boredom, which all men feer.
The island sets up like shelf Of rock.
But woe to the sailor who lands at the dock
And offers the people chance to talk.
For they talk oil night, and they talk all day,
And try as you viii to get away
They pin you down, and they mako you stay.
They talk of things they have done and said;
They talk you awake, and they talk you to bed
Till you almost wish they would talk you dead
And the queerest thing and the ono to deplort
About the dwellers upon that shore
Not ono Of them knows that he Is bore.
So steer away from that island shelf
That is governed, they say, by q wicked elf.
Lest you be bore and not know it yourself.

Why is it that in most Of the cities of

northwestern quarter? Why is it that
the "west end" is so often the aristocrat-
ic section Of tho city and least side"
and "south side" SO often the residence
Of the poorer classes? 1t is fact, and
there is ruling cause for it. Is it this
that the prevailing winds of the earth
are northw esterly? They are in general
northwesterly, and their tendency is to
blow the dust, smoke and odors Of a
city to its eastern Or southern side. This
makes the opposite quarter the more de-
sirable for residence. - Philadelphia

Short Session and Little Work
Last Evening.

Short session anu A!ttic w OrA
Last Evening.
The board of aldermen transacted all
its business in less than half an hour
last night. The grist was unusually
light, much Of it having been disposed
of at the adjourned meetings held last
week.
The only matter to come before the
board. outside OF the usual routine, was a
communication from the Ramsey Coun-
ty Medical society, indorsing Health
Commissioner Hoyl's recommendation
tnat the city provide the health
department with a meteorological labo-
ratorv and a public diSlnfecting plant.
The medical society did not think, how
ever, that new hospital for the accom-
mediation of diphtheria and scarlet
fever patients was necessary yet,
as the city hospital is prepared
TO properly care for and Isolate
such cases. But 10 health department;
SO the physicians declared. should be
without meteorological laboratory and
a disinfecting plant. The communicas
ton, which was signed by Drs. Burn
side Foster, Arthur Sweeney and Corr
nelius Williams, was accepted and filed.
The assembly ordinance requiring
proprietors of bill boards and bulletins
to give bond of 5000 to save the city
harmless from damages caused in the
erection, maintenance or falling OF the
bill boards, was passed.
The free use of Market hall was,
given to the Boys brigade and also to-
the John Brown Monument Fund associ-
alton.
A preliminary order for the paving of
Fourth street with asphalt, from Broad5
way TO Seven Corners, WAS introduced
by Aid Ehrmanntraut and passed.

TIE SECRET BALLOT.

If the Republican members Of the
legislature consent to "a secret ballot IN
the senatorial caucus TO be held Friday
evening OF this week, it will be a COIL
fession of cowardiee and an evidence of
duplicity which will not be pleasing to
even those who wish the Republican
party no good. The secret ballot is the
resort Of treachery and the nursery of
corruption. There is, and can be, no
possible excuse for it.. No man who is
afraid Or ashamed to have his vote pub
llcly announced should be entitled to a
vote. The constituents who elected
these members want to know, and tnsy
have perfect right to know, how mem
beers vote on the election OF United
States senator. 1t is one of the most
important matters of the session, and
the man who seeks to shlrk his re-.
sponsibility TO his constituents or COM
pound his promises under the veil of a
secret ballot will stand as perfectly re-
vealed as though he had confessed to
an improper motive.
Such members may think the public
can be hoodwinked by specious areu-
mentS and plausible excuses, but the
public has long since been, in the
language of the street, "onto" such pc
culiar methods, and cannot be deceived.
Individual members might possibly be
honest in the belief that secret ballot
is desirable, but the public will not
credit such with honest motives, and
will look with suspicion upon the future
course OF such members. But the can
didate who seeks, through the influence
of his managers to force secret ballot
will reap the richest harvest Of blame,
and will be visited with the resentment Of
every ghtsthinking man. II any can
didate is afraid to test his strength in
an open field it is high time fer him to
surrender his place to one who has no
back stairs TO his campaign and no dark
secrets to cover. The people want to
see fair field and no favor, and woe
belide him who defies the decencies
and proprietieS Of the time by sur
render to the methods OF the ward
heller and the caucus fiXer.

FOUND ON 4 TRACK.
Robert Chiffon Sustains Fatal In
iuries in O Manner Unknown.

Robert Chiffon SuStainS Fatal In
iuries i'm q Manner Unknown.
Robert Chiffon, carpenter, residing
at 1913 Saltwater avenue, was fatally
injured shortly after 6 o'clock last
evening at Post Siding. At $50 p. N.
he was found lying unconscious be-
tween the tracks of the st. Paul & Du-
luth railroad. The Margaret street pa
troll wagon conveyed him to the city
hospital, where it was found that he
had sustained compound depressed
fracture CT the back of the skull. CITY
Physician Ancker said that his recOY-
cry was scarcely possible.
About 8 O'Clock in the evening Mrs.
Chiffon called at the hospital to see her
husband, who was still unconscious.
Mrs. Chiffon said that Mr.. Chiffon had
been working on job at CioQuet for
the past three weeks. She did not say
whether she expected him home last
night. The presumption is, however,
that Mr.. Chiffon arrived in st. Paul on
tie 6:25 evening train and jumped
off in the yards. He was
seen in store near by the siding about
$3.50 p. IN. The. probability is that he
was struck by train while recrossing
the tracks. on his way home to Still
water avenue. That the injury was the
result OF foul play is hardly likely.
About 50 in money was found in Mr..
ChIlton's pockets.
Mr.. Chiffon was ffty-one years old,
and had family of five children. Mrs.
Chiffon telegraphed her son, Thomas
Chiffon, who lives in Cloquet, to come
to st. Paul at once.
Mr. Chiffon died before o'clock this
morning.

NIGHT OF MUSIC.
Adele Aus Der Ohe Charms a
70 Great Audience.

"rtaC
1.-THE second of series of five artists
raeitaIs under the auspices of the Schu-
bert club was given last evening at
.Eord's music hall, with Miss Adele
Aus der One as the sOloist, assisted
by A. de G. Madeira. The hall was very
comfortably filled by an appreeiative
audience which was in perfect sy mpa-
thy with the artist. 49,.
80 The first number was the Bach
Tausig Toccata and Fugue in D
aninor, which Miss Aus der Ohe inter-
1preted in very artistic manner, and
was followed blythe G minor Sonata Of
gBeethoyen'S, the conception of which
showed Miss Aus der Ohe to be
thoroughly in accord with the master.
In the Motto Allegro movement she
displayed wonderful technique, which
was followed in the Motto
Adagio movement by d power
that held one almost spellbound as
the resonant chords crashed in upon the
theme and died away in the running
passages of the finale. In Sehumann's
CT major Fantasia, Op. II, her phras.
ing was especially pure and
her fingers flew SO lightly
over the keyboard that it seemed like
the limpid waters of woodland brook
trickling over its pebbly bottom. One
could almost hear the plaintive calling
of the birds and the rustling
of the leaves. In the List
and Chopin numbers Miss Aus der One
showed that she is thoroughly con-
versant with an extensive repertoire
and was not tied down to any one mas
ter, as is SO often the case with pianists.
Mr.. Madeira was heard in ''Poor
Wounded Heart" of FogePs and Tours
1.-The Three Singers"
He has a remarkably good baSSO
cantate voice, but is inclined to
fiatten little on his high
notes. His lower register is
very full and resonant, but his
upper register lacks tone, and lie has an
unfortunate habit of running his words
together that takes away from the
pleasure of his listeners. Miss Bessie
