THE TALK OF THE DAY.

Victor Hirtzler who served two years in the
Cars kitchens at the Winter Palace in St. Peters
burg has4given some interesting details to the
cuisine of the imperial household and the precau-
tons taken against any attempt to poison the
Autocrat of All the Russias. The head chef of the
imperial kitchens holds the rank of general in the
Russian army, receives a salary of more than
$4,000 a year and is important official of the
state. Under him there is army of some 800
chefs underchefs and subordinates and
also the keepers of the wine cellars. Every dish
that is prepared for the imperial table must first
be partaken of by major of the army, the food
is then placed in a closed shaft, which the major
also enters. and it then ascends to the dining
room of the Gar, where the major again paFtakes
of it, and i'll effects ensuing, 1t is then served to
the imperial household The menu is ordered each
day by the Gar who is hearty eater, and who
occasionally demands that dishes be invented
by his chef. The dining room in which the reg
u,ar meals are taken Is small made of cast iron,
is bombproof and is sealed like a bank vault be-
tween meals.
