Over the Kitchen Table.

When buying coffee, buy it only I" in
the BEAM" and not already ground, as
many people do. 1t not only retains
its delicious flavor much longer, but is
more palatable and nutritious. Be-
sides, it's wonderful purifying powers
are increased ten-fold.
A sure way to prevent a cake from
burning, is to place in the pan a piece
of tissue paper (not colored) a little
larger than the pan itself, which will
enable the paper to stand up along
the sides. Grease the pan we'll before
putting the paper in. When this is
done, pour the cake in. After the
cake is sufficiently done, slip a knife
carefully around the sides of pan to
loosen the cake from pan. Then turn
the pan over and very gently place on
the linen. Immediately pull off paper
from the cake, which will allow the
steam to escape, this must be done
very dainty or you will remove some
cake with the paper. With a little
experience no difficulty will be found
in removing the paper.
While trying out fat cut a potato in
the thinnest slices possible and drop
in while hot. This prevents smutty
ook, and makes the fat clean and
sweet.
1t sometimes happens that the
butcher sends tough meat instead of
tender. When he does, cut the steaks
the day before required, into slices
about two inches thick, rub both
surfaces with Il little baking soda.
Save all the stale bread, CRATE it,
and keep in glass jar with lid. This
makes an excellent covering for fried
veal, fried liver, croquettes and oysters.

with such a vessel as he had designed.
Mr.. Goodwin advanced $4,000, and
now fifty workmen are engaged on the
skeleton. The vessel will be launched
in two weeks. The boat now con-
structing is simply an experiment, but
if it is success Mr.. Knapp intends to
build a much larger one for ocean
traffic.
1t will be 700 feet long and $50 feet
in diameter, the inner cylinder on the
axle having three decks with accom-
mediation for many passengers. The
outer cylinder, which is to be revolved
by friction, the power being a 49,
horse power steam engine in the inner
cylinder, will be fitted with paddles so
as to make it catch the water and roll
easily over the surface.
Mr.. Poison, the manager of the
works where the vessel is being made,
says it is the strangest and most in
teresting experiment of his life.
"Do you think the thing is
practicable?" he was asked.

Mr.. Poison. "There have been some

mr.. H. l.. Wilson'S Appotn tn en- :.
Spokane Outburst.

No one will begrudge the diplo-
matte appointment of Mr.. H. L.
Wilson. For long time past he has
done nothing else, unfortunately for
him, than work in politics, and if any,
body needs and deserves a job he is
probably the man. 1t is true that
with true Wilsonian instinct, his chief
care has been to keep his brother in
Office. But his brothers success and
his party's success are somewhat
synonymous, so that he has proved a
good worker for his party. 1t may be
true, on the other hand, that in the
last State and national election the
harder he worked the worse it was for
his party; but he did the best he could
for his brothers and his party's sue
cess. Laying politics aside, Mr.. Will
son has good natural ability for the
South American post. He is shrewd
and diplomatic, with plenty of nerve
and intellectual force to grasp every
thing in sight for his own and his
country's good. He has all the fine
qualities of good poker player, which

FRI&C0'S GREAT VINE TANK.
Nearly Three iEimrs nv Large as
the Famous heidelberg Fun.

san Francisco can boast of having
the largest wine tank i'll the world.
No mere Heidelberg tun, with ca
pacity of 10000 gallons, is this mon

ous vat. once the pride and wonder
OF German cellarmen, has been far
ccllp5ed III proportions by the San
Francisco giant, which will hold So
coo.
Draw Oft into quart bottles, the con-
tents OF the tank would fill 100000
large wine bottles, or more than one
bottle for every person in San Fran
cisco. This leads a step further to the
thought what would be the effect if all
this wine were consumed in one even
ing within the city's limits. The
great tun holds enough to intoxicate
the entire population in one night.
The tank, says the Southern Erami-
ner, stands in house built for itself
at one end of the warehouses of the
California Wine Association, on Bran
nan street. Wine men say that the
large majority of the wine vaults in
California could easily empty all their
hogsheads into it, and yet would not
fill the vat. But as the Wine Associa-
tlon carries an average stock of 49,
100000 gallons of wine, the tank, inn
mense as it is, seems to be a compare
tive tritie. 1t was built for the sole
purpose of blending sweet wines for
the American market, and quite fire.
quently is filled and emptied princi-
pally with sherry of a standard quail
ity, which is sold largely in the East
and Middle Western States.
The exact measurements of the vat
are 90 feet high from the base, 81 feet
in diameter below and y feet 6 inches
at the top, and an average circumfer-
ence of 100 feet.

ing the wood before it was in a fit con-
dition for the coopers to put together.
The slaves are two and half inches
thick, the width of the ordinary plank
ing; they stand upon the circular
base of oak planks three inches in
thickness, and are bound together
with twenty-five steel hoops three
eighths of an inch thick and measur-
ing in all LOO feet in length. The
top is of planking.
When the tank is to be filled two
steam pumps are set to work upon it
to force wine through two-inch pipes
over the top. The hose used by the
Fire Department is but half an inch
thicker and the pressure is nearly the
same when either hose is used. 1t
takes seven hours constant pumping
to fill the tank.

GRAVEYARD OF HUMAN HOPES.
Secret Archives of the Patent Of.
flee.

Since the beginning OF the Patent
System the United States Government
has issued nearly 100000 patents upon
about 100000 applications filed. 1t
l. an easy matter to speculate upon
the vast impetus given To- human pro-
grc>S by the patents issued. Every
retrospective Fourth Of July orator
loves to dwell upon the story But
who shall tell the tales OF disappointed
hopes represented by the half million
applications which never matured into
patents?
In round numbers 10000 applica.
tons are filed in the Patent Office
each year, and 10000 patents are is,
sued, 5000 application are allowed
which never become patents, from
failure OF the inventors to pay the final
fee OF $1,000.
When an application has been pend
ing for two years, from the last action hv
the Office, it is marked abandoned"
on the books and sent to the grave
yard" where is placed in its proper
position in the ranks of those that
have gone on before. 1t is necessary
they should be kept in order as they
may be called up at any time by the
inventors, or by the Patent Office
officials.
When an application is found allow
able, 4 notice is sent to the inventor
to that effect, and six months are
given him in which to pay the final fee.
At the expiration CT this time, if the
fee be not paid, the case is stamped
forfeited" and if not renewed within
eighteen months it is declared aban-
doned and sent below with the others.
In the crowded condition of the
Patent Office building, it is serious
problem to properly arrange and store
this constantly increasing quantity of
dead material and keep it away from
the prying eyes of inquisitive " idea"
hunters. Among the many thousands
of applications which were found on
careful examination to be allowable,
but which became forfeited and aban-
doned, there are doubtless scores of
exceedingly valuable inventions.
The visitor is permitted to 60 to the
Slated door of the main storage room
and take peep at the files stacked
from floor to ceiling, but can look into
the covers of none until he has shown
his right to gain access to the same.
The drawings are kept in different
part of the building, where they
severely tax the storing capacity of
two large rooms. Here a little old
man can usually be seen hard at work
over his precious charge trying to
keep them in order, and to crowd five
hundred sheets of drawings into folio
intended for four hundred.
No doubt if it were possible to look
over the drawers containing pictures
of proposed perpetual motion" or
flying" machines, brought forward
and abandoned during the past century,
a volume could be filled with their
descriptions, but this permission is
denied the inquisitive promiscuous

HOW GLADSTONE LIVES.

The Premier of England was re-
garded for SO many years, in many re-
spects, as the greatest statesman of the
age, that anything relating to his man
ner of living is of interest.
An English authority gives the fol-
lowing description of his daily life,
which may afford clue to the secret
OF his long life and good health:
"Mr. Gladstone, when he rises, in
variably takes tepid bath, and every
morning before breakfast takes little
walk in the grounds of Downing street.
ellis first meal usually consists of a
hard-boiled egg, slice of tongue,
with tea and toast. After breakfast
he devotes himself to his correspond
ence, and for several hours is busy
with his private secretary and receiv-
ing such political callers as may ar
rive.
"For luncheon, Mr.. Gladstone takes
cold meat, milk pudding and cheese.
At five O'Clock, if disengaged, he has
afternoon tea. His dinners are select
ed to his taste. He takes soup and
fish, but usually dimes off one dish,
which he selects and does not depart
from.
"He is very fond of rice pudding
and prunes and rice, and upon either
of these, but more especially the FORM
er, he would, if the etiquette of the
dinner-table permitted it, make an en-
tire meal. He drinks claret, and to
his cheese has a liberal glass of port
wine. Half of this he takes with his
cheese, and sips the remainder in con-
versation over dessert. He does not
drink coffee, because it is seldom made
to his liking, and, being astringent,
keeps him awake.
"Mr. Gladstone has, with very rare
exceptions, always slept we'll, and for
some time was in the habit OF remain
ing in bed until noon. This was when
he felt fatigued or desired to think
out some matter which specially en-
gagged him. But at Biarritz he never
lay in bed but once, and that was two
days before the time fixed for his de-
parture, when he was attacked by a
cold in his head, and reverted to his
old rule, kept his bed for twenty-four
hours, and thus regained his usual
health"
