Cookery is becoming an art, noble
science: cooks are gentlemen. SO SAID
Robert Burton, the philosopher over 500
years ago. We think nothing nowadays
of paying $4,000 a year to flrst-class
chief cook. The chef, as he is generally
called. must not only be master of his
ranges pots and kettles, but must be an
artist designer, an inventor. In his do

Giles Among our multi-millionaires his

He has his own family, his private resi-
dence in a clean neighborhoOd, and is al
ways chesty enough to please even the
critical Mr.. Devery,
There are hundreds Of the big rich who
fatty refuse TO pay more than $1,000 or
$500 for q chef, and yet are filled with
envy because so-an6-So has a $4,000 beauty.
But there are tricks even among the upper
ten. / learned recently that a banker who
often boasts OF his $1,000 cook has only
q one-fOurth interest in the services OF
that important gentleman, He and three
friends hire him in cRhoot, each paying
ta600 a year. Each has also a second cook
at $1,000 year Monsieur QueuX, there
fore, distributes his art and science among
the four kitchens and is in reality only q
director, giving orders TO the second cooks
and their assistants.
II is agreed among the four families that
there shall never be a conflict of enter
tainmsnts. When Mr.. and Mrs. Brownor
give . dinner on Tuesday night the $4,000
chef devotes hts entire personal attention
to it's arrangement and. preparation lie
does the same for Mr.. and Mrs. Dunncr
on Thursday night for Mr. and Mrs. Ham-
merer on Friday night and for Mr.. and
Mrs Gardener on Wednesday night, NJ.
Queux demands the privilege OF hiring OF
discharsing the second cooks, so that he is
responsible for the entire culinary depart
ment In each OF the four households. The
plan is said to work satisfactorily

chocolate palatable. just the same as 1t is
to complete chicken a la fricasee.
Wines are adulterated and fortified by
adding spirits. A preservative is also used
and some wine has no fruit Juice in it at
all, being a mixture of spirits, favoring
extracts, and alcohol. Vinegar is another
product commonly adulterated. A mineral
acid is used for this, also an acetic acid,

stretched by use of water. In some parts
OF the country, a glucose solution is sold
for cider or wine vinegar.

SHAVING ON MOVING TRAINS
The Operation Not Nearly So Dan
EerOus as Some People
Imagine.

There was a hurrah wnen some OF the
railroads started barber shops on their fast
trains, said travelling man. The news
papers said that at last travellers could
have the luxury of a shave whenever nee
essary and that no longer would we see I'M
kempt men leaving the trains at the end Of
a long run.
Now the barber shops on the fast trains
are undoubtedly blessing TO men who are
not able to shave themselves, but for my
part l consider them far more dangerous
than the simple operation of shaving your
self, even when going at the rate of sixty
miles an hour
II always shave myself, and do not use
safety razor, yet would sooner scrape
my chin with an unprotected blade while
the train is going sixty or seventy miles an
hour than let barber on the same train
lean over me with sharp razor and per-
form the operation.
'"The reason for this is that when one
holds the razor I'm ones own hand the razor
moves with you If there should be a sud-
den jar or jolt. II you fall toward the razor
the razor falls away from you, as your arm
is naturally outstretched to prevent you
from striking u wall.
Put suppose the barber is leaning over
lurching OF the train throws him against
the chair What chance have Won in the
chair to get away from the sharp blade
coming in your direction?
II have shaved myself dozens of times on
fast trains and slow trains and I have
| never cut myself. once. Yet a number of
my acquaintance who have patroniZed the
train barber shops have been compelled to
wear court plaster during the remainder Of
the trip.
Up to a year O. ego never shaved
myself on a train, and / never saw any one
else doing it. Then, perhaps. because of
the advent OF safety razors. It became a
comparatively familiar sight to see man
shaving himself in the smoking room of
the Pullman.
Il have had travelling men, seeing me
shave for the first time, express their sur
prise that did not cut myself owing to Tie
lurching of the train, and when ! have ex-
planned to them how easily one can shave
on a train they have become instant con-
verts to the practice. Like all simple
things, one does not realize how simple it
is until one has tried it.
Another thing-it IS Infinitely smoother
shaving when the train is going fast than
when making only twenty-five or thirty
miles an hour. The curves and the jolts
seem more severe on a slow train. The
steady motion OF a swiftly moving train Is
more conducive to security and comfort
than any slow train. New York Sun.

ADRlFT With SHARKS ABOUT

Hurricane Rescued from

Still weak from the exposure and bearing
scars where nails on his frail raft nearly
iayed him alive, John RUSSELL 80 years
old, one of q gang OF thirty-seven dredge
workers living on a double decked house
boat Off Matacombi Key, and engaged in
extension work on the Florida East Coast
railway, was brought to New York by the
Morgan liner FL Paso.
Adrift for thirty-two hours off the Flor
ida coast on a handful OF boards, with the
seas constantly washing over him, Cap
tain c. II. Knowles OF the El Paso picked
up the unfortunate man when he was

GAS WELL SCOUTING FLAME
Set Fire by Lightning, II Made
Blazing Column One Hundred
and Fifty Feet High.

The story of thrilling adventure with a
burning gas we'll enlivened the proceedings
at the first annual convention OF the Amer
lean gas institute at the Auditorium hotel
Chicago.
The tale was sandwiched in between top
heavy papers on hydrocarbon vapors, Gallo
rifle power, volatile matter and photome-
try, and even the technical gas engineers
forgot their troubles while W. NJ. WEIGH
of Alliance, O.. told about the struggles
to extinguish the gigantic fame 100 feet
high.
The gas was struck Unexpectedly by
workmen employed by the New York Oil
land Gas company. Its discovery came in
the midst Of a heavy thunderstorm. The
rain poured down in torrents and, luckily
the workmen left the derrick and sought
shelter near by. Five minutes later there
was crash of thunder and a zigzag flash
of lightning descended Near the earth It
changed into column of fire, wide at the
top and narrow at the bottom. like funnel
and shot straight down into the depths of
that well from which gas was pouring at
the rate of i,OOO,OdO feet an hour.
The effect was tremendous 1t was like
the application of a lighted match to an
open gas jet, multiplied by l,O00O0O. The
fame that assembled from the pipe seemed
to touch the clouds for a moment. 1t al
most blinded those who witnessed the OK
plosion. Then it settled down into steady,
kissing fork of fire. reaching high into the
air and seeming to defy the puny efforts of
man to extinguish it.
The usual methods were tried without
success. The escaping gas had a 699-pound
pressure, and the jets of steam that were
turned upon the fire had no more effect
than the breath Of a child would have on
the Game OF an ordinary jet
When this method was found hopeless
plans were made TO construct a giant can
die suufTer. The first contrivanee proved Of
no value. Two more were made, but each
proved as much of a failure as the first
Apparently insurmountable difficulties lay
in the way Of applying the snuffer. Finally
after the engineers had fought the burning
well for five weeks, a snuffer was made
that was successfully placed over the top Of
the we'll The tire was exunguished.
"This was the hardest piece of work in
which | ever took part" said Mr. WEIGH
''as we'll as the most interesting, Although
the nervous strain during the entire five
weeks was severe, ! would not have missed
