How the Kingly Menus Are Prepared
Franz Joseph Selects His Own
Kaiser Eats in Four Languages
Sultan Fears Poison.

LOndOn.-fMenus are the greatest
burden of sovereignty" once remarked
the emperor of Austria, and this, cou-
pied with the statement of the late
Gar Alexander ILL., that monarch re-
quired more diplomacy in dealing with
his cooks than with his ministers leads
one to believe that culinary matters
are source of unceasing worry to
every crowned head.
Emperor Franz Josef has, however,
good cause to grumble, because al
though the actual cost of the food he
consumes himself does not amount to
$1,000 year, he pays his ehef-a Bel
gian-a salary of $4,000 per annum,
and the kitchen expenses at the palace
are never less than $4,000. The rea-
son for this is that, whereas the en-
peror always takes his meals alone in
his study, his palace dinners are pro-
duced regardless of expense.
The emperor's chef always submits
a menu for the following days dinner
to his royal master when dinner is
served. Punctually at six o'clock his
valet enters with large tray, which
he places on the emperors desk, and
while Franz Josef is negotiating his
soup he scans to-morrows menu and
crosses off with a blue pencil anything
he does not care for.
At the German court things are
somewhat different. There are four
chefs--a German, Frenchman, an
Englishman and an Italian because

The chef at the Portuguese court is
an Englishman and he receives only
$4,000 year. When King Carlos paid
his first visit to England and was stay
ing with the late Lord Salisbury. he
said that what struck him most about
Britain was the roast beef, and he
forthwith took back with him an Eng
Hsh chef. King Carlos insists on an
English meal every day, but the queen
and the members of the household
have two French chefs to study their
wants, and they each receive salaries
Of $500 per annum.
The most trying post any man can
wish for is that Of chef to the sultan
of Turkey at the palace at Yildiz.
Here the royal kitchen is situated
right under the royal apartments; il
is quite a small room, strongly guard
ed, and even the windows are barred.
The sultan's horror of poison led him
on one occasion to install soldier
whom he trusted as chef, and for two
Years he endured badly cooked food
rather than face the risk of poison.
The present chef has held his post
seven years, but he is only responsible
to Kelarji, the chief steward, for the
food, and this official is in his turn re-
sponsible to the sultan. When the
meal is ready it is placed on a tray
and the tray is then covered with
black cloth, the ends Of which are
sealed by Kelarji before it is borne
into the imperial apartment.
The czar of Russia's chef is likewise

You can call the hippodrome fairly

it "Earth's Most Stupendous Theater" ;"

latter; and as they have paid out $780,

of the stage space in a few minutes time
for water feats. Electric cranes do the

strength; the movable stage is made
strong enough to bear the weight of
eight elephants acting as chauffeurs OF
eight automobiles containing several

will be foremost in interest in the hip

A very ancient origin, dating back to

from the latter the custom of shaving
the head and beard in time of mourn

smooth shaven people. had only the
head upon which TO operate. This,
when shaved, they covered with a wig.
The women did not necessarily shave
their heads, but they were careful to
hide their hair beneath cap. The use

Right Doing,

by fear Of what others will say about

when we think we shall be criticised

real calamity lies In not doing what
