are baked by the hundred, joints roast
ed by the dozen, each in separate and
specially constructed compartment. To
serve the meals thousands Of plates,
pieces Of silver, cups and saucers and
napkins are required, and the average
breakage in the galley Of big ship
amounts to barrel Of china every day.
"The amount of stores required for q
single voyage by a great liner is COM
parable only to the commissariat of an
army. Here are few figures furnish
ed by the chief steward Of one Of the
big German ships from the order sheet
for recent trip: Sixteen tons Of fresh
beef, five tons Of lamb and veal, $500
head of chickens, ducks, geese and
game, four tons Of sailed meats, 1000
dozens eggs, three tons of sugar, 100
barrels of -four, 700 bushels of pota-
toes, 21a tons of butter, 1000 quarts Of
milk and 500 gallons of ice cream. OF
course this is not an exhaustive list,
but it will serve to give an idea of the
enormous appetite which the store
rooms of the ocean liner must satisfy"

A SERENADE OF WOLVES.
How One Was Started In the Ma
tiOnal Zoo at Washington.

How One Was Started In the Ma
tiOnal Zoo Mt Washington.
In The Century Ernest Seton Thomp-
son, who used to be known as wolf
Thompson from his familiarity with
this particular form of wild animal,
tells how he started a wolf serenade at
the National zoo in Washington.
While making these notes among the
animals of the Washington ZOO / used
to go at all hours to see them. Late
one evening l sat down with some
friends by the wolf cages in the light
Of a full moon. l said, Let US see
whether they have forgotten the music
of the west" I put up my hands to
my mouth and howled the hunting
song of the pack. The first to respond
was coyote from the plains. He re-
membered the wild music that used to
mean pickings for him. He put up his
muzzle and "yap yapped" and howled.
Next an old wolf from Colorado came
running out, looked and listened ear
nestly, and, raising her snout to the
proper angle, she took up the wild
strain. Then all the others came run
ming out and Joined in, each according
to his voice, but all singing that wild
wolf hunting song, bowling and yell
ing, rolling and swelling, high and low,
in the cadence of the hills.
They sang me their song of the west, the west;
They set all my feelings aglow;
They stirred up my heart with their artless art
And their song Of the long ago.
Again and again they raised the cry
and sang in chorus till the whole moon
lit wood around was ringing with the
grim refrain-until the inhabitants In
the near city must have thought all
the beasts broken loose. But at length
their clamor died away, and the wolves
returned, skunk back to their dens, 81
lently, sadly, l thought, as though they
realized that they could indeed join in
the hunting song as of old, but their
hunting days were forever done.

He Was Admitted.

Fortunately when red tape comes in
contact with common sense it Is red
tape which goes to the wall. A good
story is told of military official who
devised system which compelled ev-
cry one who went on business to Gen
eral Banks to procure ticket from a
member Of the staff, the presentation
Of which at the door gained his admis-
sion. One day burly colonel came to
the door of the private Office at head
quarters and requested that his name
be given to the general.
Have you ticket" he was asked.
"a ticketw echoed the colonel, with
scorn. mo, sir, l haven't"
you can't enter here without one"
was the reply.
"Sir" said the colonel, "when Gen
eral Banks becomes a puppet show,
and have % cents to spare, I'll buy a
ticket to see him, not before" He was
admitted
