MEALS BY WHOLESALE.
Extensive Kitchen Arrangements OF
the Modern Hotel.

the Modern Hotel.
The kitcheE arrangements of the
modern hotel are on the first basement
floor. There is chef, but so far as 1
could see he does not cook. He is SIM
ply captain of the seventy-five other
cooks, who work in three relays of
twenty-five each. There is no range,
but solid bank Of broilers- immense
gridirons, beneath which are the fires
that never die. AS for the 400 loaves
of bread and 5000 rolls required daily,
the chef does not worry his mind over
the patent cutters and mixers and
ovens and staff of bakers needed to
supply the simple item of bread or con-
Germ himself with the quality of the
1,100 pounds of butter that are each
day required to go with it.
l must not forget the item of eggs.
Eighteen thousand are required every
twenty -four hours. Boiled eggs do not
get overdone. They are boiled by clock
work. A perforated dipper containing
the eggs drops down into the water.
The dipper's clockwork is set to the
cSSVhA, anu WHcu IIldt ulidi SeCOuu HAS
expired the little dlpper jumps up out
Of the water, and the eggs are ready
for delivery. There are men who do
nothing else but fill and watch and
empty these dancing dippers, and it
seemed to me great fun.
On another part of this floor is the
dishwashing, where great galvanized
baskets lower the pieces into various
solutions Of potash and clean rinsing
water, all SO burning hot that the
dishes dry instantly without Awiping.
Sixty-five thousand pieces of china
ware are cleansed in day and an al
most equal quantity of silver. All
told, there are 300 employees in the
kitchen departments of this huge liv-
ing machine.-Albert Bigelow Paine In
Worlds Work.

Chicken Pox and Smallpox.

The eruption of chicken pox has an
imperfect resemblance to that of small
pox, but can never be mistaken for 1t
by the experienced eye. In smallpox
the eruption Of papules first appears
on the forehead, the ''papules" always
become "bladders," and the latter al
ways develop into pustules-that is,
sooner or later their contents get
changed into pus. Then the center of
the pustules undergoes a peculiar sink
ing that in some measure resembles the
depressions In a cushion or padded
chair where the buttons" are seen. In
chicken pox there is no such uniform
ity Of sequence, and the depressions are
absent.

Digging For Kauri Gum.

The ordinary method of searching
for kauri gum in New Zealand is by
first feeling for it little below the
surface with a steel pointed piece Of
iron called gum spear" and then dig
ging it out with spade. A skillful and
Industrious digger can earn as much as
fS to f4 per week at the work, and
even children can earn a few shillings
a day; but, as the gumfields offer ref
uge for all sorts and conditions of men,
many who are old and infrm resort to
them, and SO the average earnings are
reduced to FL los. or e week. The
gum is used principally in the manu-
facture of varnish, but it is also found
useful for many other purposes, such
as dressing glazed" calicoes, etc.-Lon-
don Times.

SOFT COPE

Like the running brook, the
red blood that flows through
the veins has to come from
somewhere.
The springs of red blood are
found in the soft core of the
bones called the marrow and
some say red blood also comes
from the spleen. Healthy bone
marrow and healthy spleen
are full of fat.
SCOTS Emulsion makes new
blood by feeding the bone
marrow and the spleen with
the richest of all fats, the pure
cod liver oil.
For pale school girls and
invalids and for all whose
blood is thin and pale, SCOTS
Emulsion is a pleasant and rich
blood food. 1t not only feeds
the blood-making organs but
gives them strength to do
their proper work.

WONDERS OF THE NEEDLE.
Beautiful Work OF the Artisans of
Former Centuries.

FOEmer centuries.
The wonders of the needle were in
ancient times in Egypt, India, Baby
lonia and PhRnicia mainly lavished
by women on wells and hangings for
temples. Connoisseurs consider the veil
decorating the tomb of Mohammed at
Medina, priced at 100000 rupees,
the most marvellous piece Of embroid-
cry ever made. Its pattern, a cunning
interlacing of scrolls and arabesques,
exclusively delineated with rare pearls
and precious stones, produces, when
exposed to the rays of the sun, stu
pendous effect of coloring, soft and har-
monious and equal to the bold graceful
ness of the design. Linen, silks, leath.
er and the richest stuffs were in turn
beautified with the little insignificant
tool, the needle.
Diaphanous Indian muslin charming
ly embroidered with green beetle wings
is still renowned, as we'll as examples
of painted spangles and artificial pearls
strewn amid devices wrought In gold.
But where is now to be found the in
comparable Decca muslin, thirty yards
of which were once inclosedk for tur-
ban in an ordinary cocoanut incrusted
with gems and presented by Persian
ambassador to his master, the shah.
Other varieties known as invisible
have also disappeared. The term orig
mated from the fact that when dipped
In water or spread out ON the grass the
material was lost to the eye through
its extreme fineness.
The trained fingers have disappeared,
and through modern competition GUS
toners are no longer willing to pay the
real value of genuine hard work. This
superiority of eastern craftsmen over
their western fellows was recognized
centuries ago, first by Portuguese, who
were in the habit of sending satin to
India to be embroidered by the natives
after European designs, a fashion
which at times renders somewhat puz-
zling the classification of the marvels
of handiwork.
The French followed suit, since the
majority of the Louis XVI. court sets,
including coat, waistcoat and breeches
in satin, velvet, plush or corded silk,
so exquisitely adorned with delicate
sprays and admirable borders wrought
in satin and tambour stitches, are due
to the skill and industry of the Chi
nese, who have reproduced the French
devices with floss silk in such lovely
and fast colors, which still appear in
all their beauty, with a mellowness i'm
parted by time, which further adds to
their charm.-Ledger Monthly.

What Makes Things Grow.

According to Maurice Springer,
French writer on the subject, the en-
ergy of growth is closely related to
electric energy and may be Identical
with it. At any rate, growth energy is
closely connected with the phenomenon
called osmosis-that is, molecular pres
sure due to differences Of density in
adjacent liquid masses. Such mOlecu-
lar pressure in the cells Of the body he
believes to be the phenomenon that un-
derlies the multiplication Of these cells
In growth, and osmosis has been shown
by experiment to be closely connected
with electricity. The writer referred
to believes that we shall soon be able
to measure growth energy as we now
do heat or electricity and perhaps con-
troll it SO as to produce tall or short
families or races at our pleasure

London. Hixhe.t Level.

The highest part of the city Of Lon
don is the middle of Pannier alley, rum
ming between Newgate street and
Paternoster row. Ben Jonson tells us
that In his day this was a stand for
tipe sellers and earlier still for bakers.
The exact spot Is indicated on the east
wall by a stone monument consisting
OF a boy sitting upon a pannier, or
bakers basket, holding in his hand a
bunch Of grapes. On the pedestal is the
following inscription:
When ye have sought the city round,
Yet still this is the highest ground
Aug. n. 1858.
Were we to include Greater London
then Hampstead heath would be the
spot, for 1t is 424 feet above sea level,
or "a feet above the Cross of st. Paul.

BOOKS AND READING.

Reading is to the mind what exercise
is to the body.-Addison.
A home without books is like a room
without NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..
To read without rejecting is like eat
ing without digesting.-Burke.
Books are the best things well used;
abused, among the worst.-Emerson.
Next to acquiring good friends the
best acquaintance is that Of good
books.-Cotton.
Some books are to be tasted, others
to be swallowed and some few to be
chewed and digested.-Bacon.
Half the gossip of society would per-
ish If the books that are truly worth
reading were but read.-Dawson.
What is great love Of books? 1t is
something like a personal introduction
to the great and good men Of all past
times.-John Bright.
The three practical rules have to
offer are: ~ Never read any book that
is not a year old; (2) never read any
but famed books; CD never read any
but what you like.-Emerson.

KNOWING FIRE HORSES.
How They heRrn TO Start with the

How They hearn TO Start with the
JfSgef and Get the Swing.
The intelligence Of fire horses is well
known. A most knowing animal of
this kind is described by Sewell Ford
In Horses Nine" The author says of
him:
Other things besides mischief, how
ever, had Silver learned. Chief of these
was to start with the jigger. Sleeping
or waking. lying or standing, the sum-
mons that stirred the men from snor-
Ing ease to tense, rapid action never
failed to find Silver alert. As the hal
ter shank slipped through the bit ring
that same instant found Silver gath
cred for the rush through the long,
narrow l'He leading from his open stall
to the ), above which, like great
couchant spiders, waited the harnesses
pendent on the hanger rods.
Once under the harness Silver was
like carved statue until the trip strap
had been pulled. the collar fastened
and the reins snapped In. Then he
wanted to poke the poles through the
NOOAcS ~ Co6CA was Ao W Dc OIL. II
was no fault of Silver's that his team
could not make two second hitch.
With the first strain at the traces his
impatience died out. A sixty foot truck
starts with more or less reluctance, but
when once the tires caught the car
tracks Silver knew what to expect. He
and his team mates could feel Lanni-
gan gathering In the reins as though
for full stop. Next came the whistle
Of the whip. 1t swept across their
fianks 80 quickly that 1t was practical
ly one stroke for them all. At the same
moment Lannigan leaned far forward
and shot out his driving arm. The
reins went loose, their heads went for
ward and, as If moving on a pivot, the
three leaped as one horse.
Left to themselves, each horse would
have leaped at different instant. 1t
was that one touch of the lash and the
succeeding swing Of Lannigan's bulk
which gave them the measure, which
set the time, which made 1t possible for
less than 1000 pounds of horsefesh to
jump five ton truck up the street at
a four minute clip.

Knew Papa,s Limitations.

She was a doctors little girl. In her
fathers Office she had seen a number
of boxes on which was written, This
side up with care" In answer to her
question her mother had said, You
see, when papa gets these boxes he
doesn't know what is in them, and II
it is something that might break it
wouldn't be good for 1t to set it upside
down."
The little girl pOndered over it for
some time. A few days later she came
to her mother, saying, Mamma, when
God made US did he put a sign on our
left sides that says, This side up with
carer" "Whyr asked the mother,
smiling. because 1 heard papa tell
somebody that it was bad for people to
lie on their left sides cause 1t wouldn't
be good for their hearts, and know
papa doesn't know what is inside us."-

very absentminded. Also sympathetic.
A ragged street urchin ran up to her.
"Say," he yelled, your little boy has
been run over by big truck"
Where? Wheref For goodness sake,
wheref" shrieked the woman, rushing
wildly down the street. She ran half-a
block and then stopped suddenly.
Lord, what an old fool l amI' she
said to herself disgustedly. 81 have no
little boy. I've never been married"
Meantime the street urchin had stod-
en- four apples and bunch of grapes.
