KITCHEN POTS AND PANS.

There has been a great change in
cooking since these primitive days
when the kneadng trough CT bowl of
wood, the kettle that hung ever the
open fire and the earthenware or clay
pipkins were the only kitchen dishes.
The invention of stoves has filled our
kitchens with multitudes of pots and
pans inferior to the old ones, which
lasted a life time, and sometimes several
generations. Modern utensils CT the
best kind will not bear such a test

of thick earthenware. One intended for
cooking meats should be first of all

pairing a stew or braiscd dish more eX-

that it ought to be discarded for kitchen
purposes whenever it can be, as it is an

pendcnce to the People of

The fourth section, dealing with

BANKING IN SWITZERLAND
1t Ordinarily Takes Dut Fifteen Min.
utes to Make 81 Deposit il You
Are Lucky.

Some Swiss methods are sufficiently
antiquated, according to our standards.
For instance. it requires is minutes ir
which o make a deposit at bank, says
the Chicago Record.
Every banking house has numerous
chairs outside the railing. and the visit
or is expected to sit quietly and culti-
sate spirit of patience while the ma
chinery is getting under way.
4 customer who wishes to make a de-
post goes to window and hands in his
money, together with a memorandum
of the amount. The employe behind the
railing counts the money and prepares
a receipt for it, adding his signature by
way Of preliminary.
Then a small boy takes this receipt
upstairs and submits it to an official,
who studies it and then ponders for a
while as to whether it will be safe to
take the money. If be decides that the
bank can undertake the risk he passes
the receipt to another man, who pre-
pares duplicate slip and makes several
entries and finally signs his name.
Then. as soon as another man has ex-
amined the receipt and added his name,
it is taken downstairs and handed to
the depositor. There is one satisfaction
the money is thoroughly deposited.
An American residing in Zurich went
to the bank the other day with check
which had been given to him by busi-
ness man in a large town near by. He
handed in the check, and 20 minutes
later received his money, less "A cents
charges. The American was we'll known
al the bank, having been a depositor for
about two years. lie had indorsed the
check.
a busy and nervous Chicago man
would have torn down the railing be-
fore the 20 minutes expired.

A GLIMPSE AT HIMSELF.
A Reflective Man of Mature Years
Sees n Strangely Familiar
Face I'm Mirror,

Here" said the man of mature wears.
according to the New York Sun, was
an experience that fancy others have
had. You know we don't realize the
change in our own appearance as the
years go by; we feel young. all right,
and imagine that we look so, and never
realize that we don't. But coming
down from an upper story of tall
building in an elevator the other day,
and thinking Of something else, hap
pened o see face in a mirror in the
side Of the car.
1T had a curious interest for me,
somehow. 1t was the face of a man
of middle age, tolerably we'll preserved,
but with hair pretty gray and with
marks at the outer corners Of his eyes
showing where the crow had stepped
on him; lightly, to be sure. but the
marks of crows feet, nevertheless; the
face of man of years. But. old and
gray, the most curious and fascinating
thing about it was its striking reser-
blance to my own. This was almost
startling; but moment later. when
looked at it | saw a slight turn of my
own head reproduced with a CORE
spending movement by the head in the
mirror, ! realized that what saw was
indeed reflection of my own face;
and that for a moment had seen my
self as was.
But when got home l looked in
the glass there. And did see any mid
die aged folks now? Not by a jugful!
saw the man I wanted to see. A
little gray, perhaps? Yes! a little
gray, Crowfeet? Yes, if you want
to call 'em so. I'm no spring chicken.
l don't set out to be that, that is, not
this springs, but I'm young man, still,
for all that; and I'm going TO remain
so for many years to come, despite

JACKETS LIKE UNIFORMS.
Scarlet Cloth Coats Are to Be the
Fashionable Rage in
the Spring.

Scarlet jackets for street wear will
likely be the fashion in America in the
spring, for at present they are the rags
in London. They are made short and
half fitting and are buttoned down the
left side with small, fat brass buttons,
arranged in groups of threes. The
seams are strapped, and so short. are
the tails that they scarcely dip -four
inches below the waist line. The bacl,
is tight fitting and the front is u that
straight, shield-like shape, with slight
dip in the middle, that is generally be-
coming to most figures. These natty
little coats are worn either with
checked, plain or plaid skirts, and #
they are assumed with the proper
amount of chic and nattiness they are
undeniably effective.
Even in darker colors the plain cloth h
jackets with checked or plaid skirts
are extremely fashionable, and Fen
wick has laid in a stock Of monstrous
plaids in a soft, hairy, woolen material
that hangs beautifully and is very light
and warm. These plaids are made up
of different shades of one color. For
instance, there are huge blocks in cross
ing lines of heliotrope that shade from
almost invisible lavender through to
blacky-purple. Tones of green also,
from the faint eau de Nile to the black
est bottle green, are also effectively
combined, while good deal too start
ling, but undoubtedly effective. is tn.
plaid composed entirely of shades Of
red cross-barred with black. Fenwicl;
predicts that these huge plaids will be
al the rage throughout ths winter an j
spring. If this is to be fact those
clannish people who are possessed Of a
Scotch branch to their family tree
should look up their tart2ns and adapt
them to modern uses-Chicago Chron-

A FRESH LIEUTENANT.
How Gen. Sumner Turned the Tables
on an Obstreperous Subaitern
at Santiago.

A Young second lieutenant. who
had been graduated from the first
class a couple of months before
the regular graduation at West
Point, had just joined his regi
ment, and was walking down th,
street near the palace, says a writer CT
Santiago in Leslies Weekly. He
stopped on the corner. and as lie did

Of beard on his face and with cavalry
sergeant's stripe on his breeches, a
blue shirt, and campaign hat, but with
no other mark of rank about his uni
form, except his sergeant's stripe.
walked slowly down and stopped in
front of the lieutenant, looking around
at the different buildings. The young
officer fdgeted a few moments under
the manner in which the trooper ig-
nored his proximity, and finally turned
on him and said, sharply: Here, you
man. did anyone ever teach you how to
salute?" Yes, sir" drawled TIE troop
er, as he glanced at the youngster
well, knock your heels together y
said the young officer. and tie trooper
came to attention with the precision
of an old soldier. Now salute" he
said, and the troopers gauntlet came
TO the rim of his hat and staid there
until the young lieutenant answered il,
at the same time demanding: Now,
rene ber this and don't let this hap
pen again. What is your name, and
what do you belong to-" Without re-
laxing his position from attention the
old trooper again respectfully saiuted,
and remarked dryIy: "My name is
Samuel Sumner, and I'm brigadier
general Of the cavalry brigade" where
upon the young lieutenant proceeded
to copy as many colors of the rain bow
with his face as was possible, and
slipped away as soon as he dared, for
getting even to apologize.

THE CARE-FREE vIENNESE.
They Rarely Take Life Seriously, Un-
less at q Funeral.

The native Viennese is a jolly, good
natured, shiftless creature.
No people on the earth are so jolly. or
so easily and so much amused. Go to
the Prater, the largest public park in
Europe, and from hundred different
heterogeneous comes the noise of toot-
ing brass bands and stamping feet and
beating drums. Merry -go-rounds swing
old and young, and dime museums and
music halls are as full of people as they
are empty of decency. Go to the thea,
tiers on any night, and you will find
them crowded by an enthusiastic audi
ence, the galleries filled by noisy stu
dents and working girls. The court
theaters, which present only legiti-
mate dramas and operas, have also their
numerous devotees. Go TO the coffee
houses, of which there is one on every
corner. and yon will find them full,
especially in the afternoon, with mer-
chants with their noses in the news
papers, and clerks slipping their Mocha,
and officers smoking their cigars, and
cue-pushing and card-shutfiing youths.
at night these coffee houses become the
rendezvous OF the lower element. |
have never seen the Viennese serious,
unless it be at a funeral, and l suppose
that even. cut of that he manages to get
some fun. Yet he is easily excited, and
although loyal and law-abiding, his
good nature may quickly turn into
siery passion, and VieRrese riot IS a
serious matter.-Edward a. Steiner,
