extra store of ice Great blocks of it are
kept here ready for use. The coldest re
frigerator of all is the one in which is
kept the fish and poultry. Every piece
OF food in this refrigerator is frozen solid
The meats and shell fish require a slight
ly higher temperature so they are kept
in a separate refrigerator where the tenn
perature is just above the free zing point
Each hotel has it's wine room which is
entirely separate from the other depart
ments of the kitchen, and to which the
| steward has the key. Casks and cob
webby bottles are to be found in those
= cellars, as we'll as numerous bottles
| of the light and freshly made wines. A
| laundry and a kitchen for the EMPLOYEES
are also to be found in all big hotels
These laundries not only do washing for
laundries not only do for the washing for
the hotels but for many of the guests at
least as well. The chef and the chiefs of
departments dine together and the other
employees have a separate table The
tables are covered with white oil cloth
and plain but substantial food is cooked
for and served to the help.
War Against Rats and Mice.
In every hotel kitchen a ceaseless war
IS waged against rats and mice Because
| of the large quantities Of food kept in the
hotels they are favorite lodging places for
| rodents and if the fight against them
ceased for a day not even a pied piper
of Hamlin would be able to vanquish
them. Every hotel has an army of cats
that are not too well fed and whose chief
| means of subsistence therefore are those
rats and mice The pussies lare allowed
to prowl undisturbed in every part of the
Kitchen and its adjoining store rooms and
| as a consequence the chefs and their army
OF assistants can snap their fingers at Mr.
| Rat and his relatives.
To keep kitchen clean-a kitchen that
! is used as constantly as that of a big
hotel-is another problem that must be
| solved by the man who is at the head of
this department. 1t is so short a time
| each oay that the kitchen is deserted It
has been found necessary to have most
of the cleaning done at night Twice a
| week, as rule, the entire kitchen is
scrubbed and once evesy day the various

patterned exactly after the -old-fashione1
Dutch ovens, that were large enough to
permit of the scullery maid standing up
straight in them in order to sweep them
them out. The Ryan hotel oven looks
like a big hot cavern, and is capable of
baking innumerable loaves of bread at
one time Down in this bakery are
long, we'll secured tables, that are COW
ered with bread for toasting purposes
only, with rolls of all kinds, and bread
that is not toasted.
Next IN point of interest to the bakery
Is the store room. All kinds of dry
groceries, tea. coffee, extracts of all
kinds. meals. etc, are here kept In the
store room Of the Windsor hotel the chief
steward has a desk, where he keeps his
accounts. Accounts, of course, are rig
idly kept Ia the kitchen department OF all
hotels. but not always are the desks To-
Gated i'm the stores. All the orders of the
chef are entered in a big book, and as
they are filed they are cheched off. The
meat book contains only the meat orders
and the orders for meats from the chef
must correspond exactly with the en-
tries OF purchases made by the steward.
Iu this way every piece of meat from
roast to Il tiny chop is accounted for.
The meat room itself is nothing but a
gigantic refrigerator composed of in
Vulnerable compartments. In one of these
compartments all the chops are placed,
m another the steaks, another the roasts.
etc The game has a big refrigerator
OF its own, rs has also the fish.
Order in Time Of Rush.
a visit to a hotel kitchen during the
progress of a meal is apt to be confusing
at first The room is hot, walters are fly
ing hither and thither, there is a perpet-
ual clatter of dishes and the air reeks
with the Odor Of cooking. But a close
observer soon realizes that there is order
i'm the apparent chaos. He notices, first,
when a waiter comes hurrying into the
kitchen, that he goes at once to the de-
partment where the glass and silverWare
are kept and selects the articles of this
kind that he needs. Somebody, sometimes
man but generally a girl, has charge
of the silVerware and the waiter must OBJ
tain it from the custodian. Next he goes
TO the cases where the dishes are kept.
These cases are heated by steam pipes
SO that every dish is warm. With his tray
full of empty dishes he goes to as nHny
Of the various cooks as are necessary to
have his order filed. He NAV have n

table particularly reserved for it. That
is, the silver is put in one place, the
glassware in another and the crockery
in another. Most of the hotels have dish
washing machines. A big bucket is filled
with crockery, and by a sort of derrick
arrangement is dipped into a large tank
of hot water. 1t is whirled around a num-
Der of times and then the same derrick
like machinery swings it over into the
rinsing tank, where the water is at a
boiling point. The dishes emerge from
this second bath white and shining, and
a girl polishes them off with a cloth. The
pans are all washed by hand One man

The wheels that make the machinery
of a big hotel go around are located
In the kitchen. a @ o e representa-
tive became firmly convinced of this the
other day, after he made a visit to the
kitchens Of four of the city's big hotels.
These wheels revoIve more rapidly be-
tween and 9 in the morning, II and 2
at noon and and s in the evening,
but they are ever quite motionless even
during those hours when the people on
this side of the world are supposed to
be asleep. The kitchens of the Ryan,
the Windsor, the Merchants, and the
Metropolitan hotels closely resemble each
other in their various departments. Each
one is situated conveniently close to the
dining room to permit of quick service,
yeC is sufficiently remote to prevent the
Odor of cooking from reaching the din
ing ro0m-that room sacred to the guests
of the hotel Only in a few small par
ticulars do the kitchens vary. Perhaps
the most essential thing that they have
In common, however, is their thorough
cleanliness. for though the hotel house
keeping is on gigantic scale, the very
same care is exercised in keeping each
department neat and clean that the
housewife observes in order that her own
small domain may be shining.
There are only two things lacking in
the modern hotel kitchen-stOck yards
and -four mill, says a recent writer.
Certainly everything else that has to do
with the preparation Of food is to be
found there All the kitchens that were
visited had stores, all had small butcher
shops where all sorts of meats are kept,
all had giant refrigerators that were
cold storage plants in miniature.
These quarters that are located in the
rear of the big hotels are a little world
by themseles, with a rigidly observed

such a trip is worthy of the name-the
first place to visit is the bakery

er these extravagant promises would be
kept CT not. Prisoners. of course, are al
lowed to write to their friends, but the
matron reads the notes to see that they
contain no plans for escape and to as
certain whether they contain information
that might be of value to the police
Prisoners who are arrested for shoplifting
or other form of stealing, however, are
not allowed to communicate with friends
for the most innOcently worded note
might be a warning for the removal of
stCGen property. Indeed knowledge tht,t an
arrest had been made would be enough to
induce the accomplice to hide the plunder
While the work Of a police matron may
seem unpleasant to the newcomer, and
While-qit undoubtedly is wearing on the
nerves, time and familiarity with the du-
ties gradually cause this feeling to wear
off, ard an arrest is taken as a matter
of course and considered by the matron
as a business proposition which always,
no matter what its line, has 6isagreea bic
sides.

Two things must be regarded in every
kitchen. There must be a place cold
enough to keep everything and place
hot enough to cook anything. The first,
naturally, takes a large quantity of ice;
the last requires plenty of steam, for
steam has almost taken the place of fire
in the bigs hotels The half dozen huge
refrigerators in constant use are kept at
different unifo.m m temperatures. In the first

remains constantly. 1t is the warmest of
all, and is known as the store for it con-
tains the miscellaneous goods such as
may be called for at a moments notice
In the second refrigerator are kept -four
and such vegetables which do not require
The Saint Paul globe., 1902-03-30

OF cafe orders. The clouds of steam that
rise from the dozen kettles and pots and
pans are generally drawn into a ventilat-
ing machine and discharged from the roof.
An immense amount of vegetables is
used every day, and there are girls en-
ployed In the hotel who do nothing all day
long but peel potatoes and other vege-
tables. The chief task of another girl is
to look after the milk and cream and
fruits and fill orders for these Each of
the ranges in use has its special cook, and

Try to Bribe the Matron.
Shoplifters and sporting women who are
brought to the jail invariably try to bribe
the matron either to let them escape or to
communicate with friends who will aid
them in escaping. They recklessly offer
to pay her large sums as soon as they
are once free. The matron stated that
she had been offered everything from a
house and lot to a bottle of champagne
if she would unlock the door and turn her
back. Naturally the matron at the cen
tral station pays no attention to such
requests SO it is impossible to tell wheth-
