Preventing Gas Stove Waste.


A friend devised a successful plan for
preventing waste in a gas stove. Her
house was lighted by: electricity, but
she had it piped one spring for gas
cooking. The meter man assured her
that with washing, ironing and all the
cooking required by family of six,
her bill ought never to exceed 81. The
first month brought her a bill of 1926.
She discovered that it was caused by
carelessness in the kitchen; by such
event as her cooks going to bed and
forgetting till morning that she had
left both burners going all night. The
cook was good servant, but careless,
SO the. mistress had heart-to-heart
talk with her. The gas man gave the
cook demonstration lesson on run
ming the stove economically. The mis-
tress made the proposition that she
would allow 81 a month for gas, no
more, no less. If the bill amounted to
more than 81 the difference would be
deducted from the cooks wages. If
less, she would receive the difference
The next bill amounted to 1920, and
yet it included weeks when considera-
BILE preserving of fruit had been done
and more gas honestly burned than the
month before. AS the girl became ia
mlliar with the art of baking by one
burner and cooking slowly over the
slmmerer the bills dropped still lower,
till now there is scarcely a month when
a dollar of the gas money does not go
into the cooks purse. She has never
had a dime deducted from her wages

FadS of
Collectors

OF all mild forms of mental eecen-
tricity, the mania for collecting" for
collectings sake is the most wide
spread and, as rule, the least harm
full. France, as might be expected, is
the collectors own country. In a pop
ulation OF about 39,0O0,0O0 there are
100000 collectors. The French have
mania for collecting in every line ex-
cept families. Even the offer Of large
prizes to fathers and mothers for the
largest collection Of children cannot
make that sort of collecting popular or
fashionable. But when it comes to
buttons or corks, why, that is another
matter. One Frenchman has a much
priced collection Of corks labeled and
classified with the greatest care-sou-
ven1rs of hundreds Of dinners, lunch
cons and suppers with his friends. An
other wrappers, which somehow seems
to be about "the limit" for pure use
lessness. Then there is a collection of
birds eyes which another Paris dandy
shows with vast pride and vaunts as
being superior in interest to a eollec-
tion of suspenders possessed by a
hated rival collector. Paris. however,
inclines to the suspenders. One collec-
tor boasts of collection of garters
contributed by popular actresses and
another of a.collection a of funeral in
vitations, such as are sent out in
France after death. The French pos
ter collectors are innumerable, and
there is one man who has mania for
gathering up old advertising bills and
posters, which he obtains by constant
ly haunting the shops of the city, espe-
cially the grocery shops In thrifty
France the luxury and extravaganza
OF paper bags for carrying articles
home from the shops are almost un-
known. The grocer, the huckster and
the .fruiterer use old newspapers,
leaves from old ledgers-any piece of
old paper big enough to wrap their
goods in. This collector, Dablin by
name, goes about the shops fussing
over these wrapping papers, and when
he finds anything like postor or an
advertising bilf he buys a cents worth
of something and has it wrapped up in

PATE DE FoIE GRAS.

Brooklyn Standard Union.
Is a goose really worth more hu.

ing? That is apparently the view OF
the Humanitarian League of England.
whose members are moving heaven and
earth, along with the Lord Mayor of
London, in an effort to have pate de
toie gras cut out of the bill OF fare at
a royal banquet. Their protest is
against the cruelty to the goose that
accompanies the process of diseaasink
the liver before 1t goes to the pate fac.
tory-not against the fashion that
moves men and women to eat the stuff.
So they would have the Lord Mayor
and the Prince of Wales and finally
the King himself frown upon pate de
foie gras as an article of food. and thus
shut of the demand for II, simply to
save the geese of Alsace-L Lorraine from
getting the liver complaint!
But aside from the questions OF
goose health and the menus of fash
ion, there is an industrial and business
consideration involved. Thousands Of
farmers and peasants in Europe get
their living from the raising of geese
for the making of pate de foie gras,
and numerous factories furnish work
10 hundreds or thousands more. From
Strassburg alone. the center of the in

pate de foie gras really like II and
would demand It after 1t had gone out
Of fashion.
The history OF this goose-liver paste
as an article Of trade is interesting Its
present popularity is due almost who'll
lily to the fashionable rage for II that
sprang up in Partisan society during
the early years Of the second empire
under Napoleon III. That was fifty
years ago. The aristocracy of France
having launched the article into fa-
vor, the British gourmand, never slow
to follow In the steps of Paris, speedi-
ly adopted the idea. and from that time
to the present the demand has steadily
increased In every country. OF course,
there is really no more sense in the
fashion than there was in the habit OF
the Roman emperors of feasting on
peacocks' brains and larks' tongues,
or in that of the Boston woman who
affects Unsuitable appetite for humming
birds hearts. But Fashion recognizes
no law-least Of all the laws of health.
SO the fad of a few luxurious living
Parisians has grown in half a century
into an industry of no mean proper
tons.

gland destroy II by exploiting popular
sympathy for the goose?
