Preserved Dish Water.

Talking of Paris restaurants, says
an Ex-Attache In the Washington Post,
wonder how many Americans who
visit these temples of the gastronomic
cult are aware OF the fact that the dish
water In which the plates and dishes
are washed is changed and renewed
only once in every twelve months. Yet
this is the strict, though ! can hardly
call 1t the sober truth. The method Is
far less unclean, however, than 1t ap-
pears at first sight. For the dish wa

which have the effect of Immediately
removing all grease from the plates
and dishes dipped therein. The grease
thus loosened by the ammonia remains
floating about on the surface, and is
skinned off several times n day.
placed in tub and disposed of by the
chef as one of his perquisities. By
the end of the twelve months the dish
water has become converted into al
most pure ammonia.

WHO OWNS THE RAILROADS.

ii. I. Newcomb of the District OF
Columbia Bar, has compiled statistics
showing that 5,174,718 depositors in
savings banks of six eastern states
are directly interested in the joint
ownership of $442,354,0S6 of steam
ra ilroad securities, that insurance
companies doing business in Massa-
chusetts hold $S45.SS9,03S of steam
railroad stocks and bonds and IA edu-
cational institutions depend on $47,-
46S,327 invested in similar securities
for portion of their income. Other
fiduciary institutions own enough
railroad securities TO bring such hold
ing up to more than billion and a
half dollars, about one-sixth of the
entire capital invested in railroad
property. These investments repre-
sent the savings of the masses, there
being twenty million holders Of life in
surance policies in the country, as
many more of fire insurance policies,
and an even greater number of de-
positors in banking and trust institu-
tons, where investments are largely
in railroad securities.
