OLD CUSTOM NOW FAD.
Cooking in Chatting Dishes Not Mod :
ern Idea, But Was Practiced Long

New York Somehow persons seem
chatting dish is a comparatively mod
ern invention. 1t is not. Chatting dish
cookery was one of the earliest
branches of the culinary art, and
strange as it may seem. some speci-
mems of chatting dishes We're discover
ed according to antiquarians in this
city, in the ruins of u no less inter
esting city that Troy. The ancienls
as we'll as the moderns, therefore. APP
preciated the fact that it could be
made a ready help in time of trou-
BILE
Such dishes were found in the old
Egyptian tombs, and at the famous
Roman banquets they played a prom
inent part They were manufactured
Of silver or bronze In very massive
designs. Pottery also was used Tor
their manufacture, so that the so
called up to-date chatting dishes mace
of earthenware casseroles are not as
new and original as they seem 10 oe'
Lamps Not Known.
In those good old days. tho, the neat

known until a comparatively recent
date. One of the cherished posses
sions of Marie Antoinette was a chai

The skilled chatting dish COOK is an

Ever so many dainty dishes may pc
prepared without danger OF spolllhS
them from lack of skill, and II one
only knows how. the chatting dish can
NAV quite as important part IN case
of emergency. or in the daily routine
for that matter. as it does at AFTER
theater supper or Welsh rabbit

In selecting chatting dish get one
that is graceful in design and that VIII
make an ornamental addition to the
luncheon or supper table. Those nav
ing ebony handles at either side OF the
hot water pan are prettier than the
ones having two long handles, one on
the blazer and one on the hot water
pan.
The most important part of chahng
dish is naturally the lamp whlch
should be fitted with good burner ana
warranted to burn for at least an hour
without refilling. 1t is also important
that the lamp be so arranged that the
flame may be enlarged or reduced AT
will. so that whenever necessary the
contents Of the chatting dish may be
kept at simmering point for any
length of time.

Union General of the War.

We are calling the roll of the sur
viving union generals of the civil war
and are finding that only a compare
lively few Of them are living, forty
years after the war; said General
Green B. Raum Of Chicago, to a Wash
ington Post reporter. General Raum
was formerly commissioner of pensions
and also commissioner of internal rev.
enue. He is In Washington to advo-
cate the Mann bill, which places the
volunteer generals of the civil war on
the retired list of the regular army.
"In order to learn how many would
be entitled to receive retired pay If the
bill passed" continued the general. Il
have been writing to every part of the
United States to round UP those who
led the forces that saved the union. 1
found three major generals, thirty -four
brigadier generals and 1874 colonies who
were breveted brigadier generals. The
great majority of them are of advanced
age. between 40 and SO years. Only
twenty-five of the 1853 are under the
age of 20.
The retiring Of them on generals
pay would entail an annual expense to
the government of $5S2,s90, poor re-
turn for the four years service they
rendered the nation in the Sos. Cap
tains of the regular army were fbreyeted

position of general over the members
of the order in the portions of the
world where English is spoken. Fa-
Their Meyers career is typically Amer
lean. The son of a German farmer, he
was born in ST. Louis. receiving his
education. as Il child, in one of the par
ochial schools of that city. His parents
decided to give him higher education
and when liz years old he was sent to
a Jesuit college. where he determined
to join this order spending the SIX
years of his novitiate in his native state
and in Maryland.
AS a student Father Meyers intel
lectual attainments were so pronounced
that he made a notable record in his
studies, and after taking orders he was
assigned as an instructor in one of the
American Jesuit colleges later serving
as president of the famous College OF
ST. Francis Navier. Of ST Louis. also
of Marquette college of Milwaukee. and
finally the University of St Louis,
where he received his final education.
Since 1892 the next black pope has
acted as assistant general of the order,
being elected to this position by the
general congregation Of the Society of
Jesus, at its convocsttion in Spain.
During Father Martins last illness F'a-
Their Meyer assumed many duties of his
office and since his death has been act
ing as general of the society.
Father Meyer is IS years old. but ap-
pears very much younger on account
of his vigorous health. He is of an at
tractive personality and is considered
one OF the best informed scholars OF
the Catholic church, being an authority
upon its theology. He will be the first
American to become general of the So
ciety of Jesus, which, as is we'll known,
has the world for its field of operation,
being distributed in thirty-five prov
inces. embracing nearly every country
on the globe.

The Doc Never Knew.

Abe Trot. a well known character
of Peaks Island, Me, was on his way
to the woods to cut down some trees,
carrying an ak on his shoulder, ana
ii small terrier dog following at his
heels. They espied a woodchuck. to
which the dog gave chase, and drove
him into a stone wall, where action
commenced at once. Abe's sympathies
being with the dog, he decided to take
a hand and help him. So, putting him
self in position, with the AK above the
dog, he waited for the extraction of
the chuck Soon an opportunity Of
fered and Abe struck, but at the same
time the woodchuck gathered himself
up and pulled the dog in far enough
for him to receive the blow, and the
dog was killed.
For years after, in relating the story,
Abe would always add: and tibet dog
don't know to this day but what tibet
woodchuck killed him."

Smallest Enaine in the World.

"0Tiuy Tim as l have named this
smallest of all engines, Writes II. III.
Robinson in Technical World Magazine
for July, SIS made Of gold and steel,
and is so small that Il common mousse
fly seems large in comparison. 1t hts
easily into the smallest % short cart
ridge, balance wheel and all. 1t weighs
lust four grains complete, that is about
the weight of common match. II
takes 100 such engines to weigh one
ounce, and 1920 to weigh one pound
3,S40,0O0 engines equal one ton.
THE engine bed and stand are OF
gold. The shaft runs in hardened
and ground steel bearings inserted In
the gold bed These bearings are coun-
terbored from the inside to form self
oiling bearing. The fly wheel has a
steel center and arms, with gold rim;
and this part (the complete wheel
weighs one grain.
THE cylinder is of steel with oc-
tagonal base highly polished. The
stroke is 1-32 of an inch; bore 3-nO0 OF
an inch, seventeen pieces are used In
the construction of this engine.
"1rhe feed is thru the gold base
which is hollow. The speed of this en-
CINE is 5000 revolutions per minute
When running 100 per second, no mo-
ton is visible to the eye, but it makes
note like the noise of mosquito
caused by the vibrating piston Tod.
",rhe horsepower is 1-49S,000 of one
horse power. Compressed air is used
to run these engines. and it may be OF
interest to note that the amount re-
auired to make the large engine hum
can easily be borne on the eyebal
without winlsing."

A pr.++v Story

"The late S. p. Langley. was a great
scientist and a great aeronaut," said a
congressman. Cali who go in for fly
ing must master I.angley's Law, thu
law of the air, before they can hope
to achieve anything. Professor Lang
ley was regarded as an aeronautical
failure only by the uniformed.
This poor man wrote we'll and spoke
well. I once induced him to speak to
a party of children at an Easter cell
ebration.
His topic was Love and he treat
ed the topic beautifully. He told, for
one thing, how, on spring morning,
he was walking in the country, when
he saw very little, pale. frail girl
CARRYING a very big and robust baby.
"As the little girl staggered by with
her huge burden he couldn't resist say
ing:
I" Isn't that baby very heavy?
THE little girl looked up in shock
ed surprise.
+" Why. no. she said. He's not
heavy. He's my bruvver.' ="

Many Black Balls.

Frank A. Vanderlip described the
other day the discontinue of a lawyer
who had been blackballed by club.
HE was so mad said Mr.. aVnder-
lip, that he actually had the audacity
to write to the clubs secretary and de-
mand the name of the man who had
blackballed him.
..Ths secretary's reply to this out
rageous and absurd letter struck me as
rather neat. 1t was:
"Dear Sir-I have received your let
ter demanding the name of the person
who blackballed me. His name is Lee
gion.'
