In the Car Kitchen.

The actual standing room in the car
kitchen consists of an aisle only wide enough
for two men to pass each other and about
fifteen feet long On one side is an un
broken row of ranges, The very best scrt
invented, for when men do women work
they are not content with makeshift tools.
On the other side is a steam table for keep
ilg Ihings hot. other tables and some OF
The reirisera.ors for there are many. Hot
water and cold is held in cylinders which lie
along the ceiling and look like the projec-
tiles used on torpedo boats
One refrigerator is devoted exclusively
To fish, which lie shining ON blocks of clear

Another refrigerator is entir, y for meats
aud game, another for fruit, and even
bread and cake are kept in a refrigerator
that they retain their moisture. Outsi lie
the kitchen there is "A sacred icebox under
lock and key, and no man may put his
hand therein except the steward or house
keeper of the dining car. There % kinds
Of wine are kept, ard there will be shown
to you, with manner awed but proud,
the royal family of champagne with cool,
gold crowned heads sitting on an icy throne.
But, to 90 back to the kitchen, that
apartment is occupied by three men all in
white, with perhaps a blue Gordon for ira
dition' sake, who serve deftly and capably
the hiveful of walters that swarm at the
open square at the inner end of the room.
1t is a wise provision that prevents close
contacts, for cooks are apt to be ''redhot'
at the crucial hour of dinner serving, and,
besides, the car kitchen can contain no
mure men than the three cooks, who boil,
TUdel, slew afu ii thc huhiOSiiCoS iohSiSS
of the patrons palates. These men work
hard. The head cook, whose salary is
about $40 per month, stands farthest from
the window where the walters clamor and
is bit more serious. The middle cook,
on S45 salary, is lively or submissive ac-
cording to the man he addresses, and the
end cook finds time to chaff the owners Of
the dark faces who call orders, and some
times he sings as happily as conceted
boy who fancies his future on the operate
stage.
These three men make up the white
capped trio we see peering out of the win
dows of the dining car as it slips into the
station. All the other employees of the
train come into contact with passengers and
have interesting experiences, but these are
confined in the galley aud are eager for
scant glimpses at the station. Sometimes
the car has little balcony at the end,
where they can escape the heat of their
quarters, needed relief in summer time.
The walters have pantry adjoining the
kitchen and opening into it only by the

A Place to Sleep.

A sensible young lady made the follow
ing request of friends "Do not lay me
down by the rippling brook to sleep in
death; lest babbling lovers wake me up
from my dreams; nor in the beautiful GEM
etries of the valleys, lest sightseers con-
ming over epitaphs, distract me; but let
me sleep under the counter Of the mer-
chant who does not advertise in the local
newspapers. There is the place that pass
eth all understanding, and deep sleep on
which neither the buoyant football of youth
nor the weary shuttle of old age will in-
trule.
