The pastry cook has an apartment
to himself. In this is small bakers

spect to the ordinary range for baking
bread and cakes. The culinary force
includes a second cook, a pastry cook
and three kitchen maids. The menus
they prepare surpass those of the most
expensive restaurants. Some of their
favorite creations are birds nest soup
and oyster crabs, delicacy which costs
two dollars for every cover; French

numberless other food luxuries that it

MOST INTERESTING WOMAN in KIMBERLEY
Miss Many Diamonds But Never Wears One Though
She is Great Society Leader in TransvaaI High Life.

Miss Rhodes is great favorite In
Kimberley, for her charities are broad
and splendid. She supports all the
poor people around Groat Schur. and
she gives to every charitable subscrip-

the Beers like her. and the Boer press
speaks well of her. To the Beers she is
eccentric because they are not used to
strong-minded women. but the people
of Kimberley find her very interesting.
1t may be added that Miss Rhodes
has good clothes which she obtains
from London and Paris. Four times

The fact that Mr.. Gerry is credited
with having the most sumptuous table
in Gotham indicates that his kitchen is
a most elaborate affair. On wines and
foods alone Mr.. Gerry spends in the
neighborhood of $4,000 year. His
wine cellar contains vintages costing
$40 and SIS a bottle.
A VANDERBILT KITCHEN.
William X. Vanderbilt, has a great,
roomy, sunshiny kitchen, which is kept
SO shining and clean that it is no won
der his chef prepares the daintiest and
most delicious corrections at every
meal The door is of oak, the walls are
tiled and the sinks and pots are of
heavy white porcelain. The range is
placed against the rear wall, and there
is a serving table in front Of oak COW
cred with zinc, on which the pots and
pans can rest without burning the sur
face of the fine heavy wood.
There is a large bain-marie, which is
a vessel filled with hot water, into
which the vessels containing soups and
vegetables are placed for the purpose
of keeping them hot after they are
thoroughly we'll done and all ready for
the service. There are big windows on
the side and ventilators which keep the
kitchen, even at the busiest hour, as
sweet and clean smelling as the parlor.
The refrigerators and cold and warm
storage rooms are off the kitchen, and
so is the baking department. The pastry
oven is so well regulated that bread
and the most fluffy, airy pastry can be
baked at the same time, with perfect
success.
John Jacob Astors kitchen in his
new house on Fifth avenue and Sixty

that the use of coal is done away with
entirely. The ranges and bake ovens
receive heat that is generated by cleo
tricity. The chef is not only past
master in the art of cooking, but is
also an electrician, and it was he who
persuaded Mr.. Aston to introduce this
novelty in his new kitchen.

sinks for washing vegetables are Of
white marble. for the reason that the
white enamelled sinks crack and dis
solve easily.
Every pot and saucepan is OF copper,
lined with silver. The copper utensils
give the best results, and the silver
lining prevents any injurious eombina-
ton of the copper with the substances
cooked in them. The ventilation and
lighting of this kitchen are perfect. and
all of the doors from the cooking of
food are drawn of by forced ventila-
ton
The light of day is sunlight, and at
night there are floods of electric light.
The chef carefully studies the color Of
the dishes he is preparing. The force
required in this kitchen, in addition to
the chef, are a first and second cook, a
pastry cook, and two kitchen maids.
A FINE KITCHEN.
Elbridge T. Gerry's kitchen is a
poem. Walls, ceiling and floor are Of
spotless white marble. The sinks and
the mortars for preparing forcemeat
and similar edibles are all of the glist-
ening white stone. All of the pots and
pans are of silver-lined copper, except
those for frying. which are of iron.
Beside the 10-foot range is charcoal
broiler for meats and fish. Fastidious
eaters decline to eat food which is
cooked over ordinary coal; they con-
tend that the fat dropping upon the
fire develops gas which is very often
sive to palates accustomed to the high
est gastronomic art.
The cook table is Of snowy white
birch, formed of strips four or five
inches thick. The chef can pound
away on this and beat and hammer his
materials to the right consistency
without any danger of awakening the
sleeping household. The refrigerator is
in a separate room just behind the
kitchen.

typical English woman she is, dons a
fine dinner gown and presides over

be found in South Africa. These din

in the very heart of Kimberley which
yield her a nice income.
just outside of Kimberley there is a
lovely rolling country, and here Miss
Rhodes has built herself a handsome
country seat. She lives at Groat Schur
all the year round and in this rural
spot she has surrounded herself with
a remarkable collection of South Afri-
can trophies. She has a private ZOO
logical garden in which she has collect
ed every specimen of wild beast in
South Africa. She owns also a botani-
cal garden containing specimens of all
the fora of the country. In addition
TO these, this remarkable woman has
transported to this remote region
very fine collection of paintings and
bric-a-brac; so that, though living in
South Africa at the very worlds end,
she has all the essentials and perqui-
sites of civilization.
HER HOME.
IN the house there is a magnificent
library where Miss Rhodes studies
statecraft, and here she entertains
members of the Colonial office and in
this library have been held many meet
ings at which English statesmen would
have been glad to be present.
Whoo Mic- D u soo..,o. l..
ley which is very frequently, she at
tracts much attention, for she is very
singular in dress. She is tall, erect,
plump and ford. Her dress is mascu-
line In a Fedora nat and an ulster,
finished by stout English walking
boots, she leaves her carriage and
tramps through the streets of Kimber-
ley, sometimes shopping, sometimes
making calls, and always attending to
business. She has the entree to the
best society; in fact, is IL society leader,
but the people of Kimberley make al
lowance for her and say it is "only her
way" when she comes striding into a
drawing room in Fedora and ulster,
often with whip in hand
Yet Miss Rhodes is very pleasing.
She is the type of the English woman
of twenty years ago, when the typical
English woman lived upon her country
place all the year round, and did not go
to London except for week during the
season. She thought it was smart to
dress like man, and she walked and
talked like one because she could not
help it. Now it is different.
Although Miss Rhodes owns more
diamonds than any other woman in
the world, she never wears one. She
has an interest in the Kimberley mines
and owns, safely stored in that South
African safe, as many large stones as
any crowned head in Europe. But
though she prizes the diamonds and
longs to possess them she has never
cultivated the diamond habit, and her
long, shapely hands show no sparkle
OF rings.
Miss Rhodes is called man hater,
Cecil Rhodes is called a.woman hater,
Yet English people who know them
both will tell you that the name is a
misnomer for both brother and sister.
They are both fond of the opposite sex,
but have been so occupied with bust
ness and so interested with their own
family that they have no desire to wed.
Both viii undoubtedly marry some day.

The apple is such common fruit
remarkably efficacious medicinal prop
critics. Everybody ought to know that
the very best thing he can do is to eat
apples just before going TO bed. The
apple is an excellent brain food, be-
cause it has more phosphoric acid, in
an easily digestible shape, than any
other fruit known. 1t excites the
action of the liver, promotes sound and
healthy sleep, and thoroughly disinfects
the mouth. 1t also agglutinates the
surplus acids of the stomach, helps the
kidney secretion and prevents calculus
growth, while it obviates Indigestion
and is one of the best preventives of
diseases of the throat. Next to lemon
and orange, it is also the best antldote
for the thirst and craving of persons
addicted to the alcohol and opium
habit.

facture to no one, preferring to see to
it herself that it should be made pre-

pure sage in cold water for several
hours. She then put it on the fire to
boil in fresh water, and when it had
reached the boiling point poured cold
water over the sage in sieve. Then
it was cooked for 20 minutes with IL
spoons of boullion, and carefully SKIM
