along one siGe of the room, which have
a shelf projecting at convenient
height, upon which glasses and cups are
placed. Above these there are faucets
and a number of slots to receive the
coin. When the customer has decided
what sort of a drink he wants-coffee,
tea. chocolate or beef tea-he drops the
coin in the slot and receives the regula-
ton quantity. The cold drinks-lemon-
ade. soda water and all sorts OF sort
drinks''-are kept in glass vessels and
the hot drinks i'll nickel tanks surround
ed by hot water bath, which is heated
by gas. :.
But the establishment is not limited
TO drinks, and the hungry man may
also be served. Sandwiches and cakes
are kept in glass stand, circular Ill
shape, which is covered with a glass
bell. Each bell contains about dozen
sandwiches, and the purchaser indicates
his choice by dropping his coin into the
slot opposite the kind he wants, ana the
stand revolves sufficiently to bring his
sandwich to an opening where he may
take it out. Stands similarly arranged
provide hot beef, chicken and other
meats.
The quick lunch is nothing new in
Germany, though, as any person Will
know who has made railroad trip be-
tween Berlin and Copenhagen by way
of Warnemunde. A man who made the
trip several years ago said:

mark and stopped at little place on
the German frontier at about noon.
Everybody was hungry, and the Ameri-
can contingent was disappointed when
the conductor shouted, 'Funf minuten

A BEGGAR'S ARTIST.
LIVES IN A CELLAR AND PAINTS
SIGNS FOR MENDlcANTs.
He Makes Good Living and Would Rather
BE Painter For Begxars Than Beggar
Painter-How the Pictures Are Used and
What He Charges For Them.

A new school of art has been discov-
cred. So far as known, this city has its
sole professor, and he is as odd as his
art. But this is the source whence come
the thrilling pictures which the beggar,
manned, halt or blind, displays when
he mournfully relates just how he was
injured and strives to impress upon the
charitable how deserving he is of aid
In one of the shabbiest streets of the
city, away down i'll basement, flick
ering gas flame lights the studio of this
queer genius. 1t is place of business
such as would appall the well dressed
banker, but it is no exaggeraton to say
that its occupant has an income which
many more pretentious painters would
rejoice to receive.
Technique and perspective meet with
small consideration at the hands Of this
king of the beGGGrs, for such he seems
to be. To watch ingress and cgress OF
his patrons would give stranger the
impression that some philanthropist had
established charity hospital in the
| basement
When the writer paid n visit to this
| unique studio the other day, the artist
was found attired i'll pair Of overall'
| and greasy wooden shirt, as guiltless

MACHINE LUNCHES.
THE GERMAN AUTOMATIC DISPENSER
OF QUICK REPASTS.
The Slot Principle Applied to Restaurants.
No Walters to Fee or To swear At--A
Good Lunch Basket Scheme Used on
German Railways.

Germany is showing the rest of the
world how "quick lunches" may be
served without employing walters and
how hungry person may have just
what he wants to eat and drink at
fixed price without paying an extra tip
and without feeling himself called
upon, no matter how particular he may
be, to find fault with the service unless
he is satisfied to make his complaint to
mechanical continuance, which differs
from some walters in so far that 1T
makes no pretense of caring rap or
the turn of handle how uncomfortable
or how badly served the hungry one
may be. The contrivance, which has
been perfected by the Quisicana compa-
ny of Berlin is so perfectly arranged
that even those people who object to
the manner of washing the cups and
plates i'll the ordinary quick lunch
places are deprived of their cause for
complaint because every customer may
supervise the cleaning of the cup which
| he will use, and if he is so inclined may
attend to the duty himself.
The quick lunch stands are provided
with automa ic spraying nozzles fol
cleaning glass and china and insure per
feet cleanliness. No rubber tubing Il
used to conduct liquids, silver tubes be
ing employedfor the purpose. The serv
ice is run by clockvork.
