STEAM COOKING.

An Improved Arrangement Of Pipe For
Quick Work.
The most common way OF cooking
grains and other food m barrels and
kettles is TO insert the pipe which con.
veys the steam from the boiler into the
contents OF the barrel and allow the
steam to pass out Of the one opening
In the end of the pipe and rise through
the slop or soaked feed. BY this plan
good deal of steam escapes on the

the kaiser and his numerous family
gather to inspect the Christmas trees.
There will be a tree for each member
of the household, including the two
tiny children of Crown Prince VIII.

their recent visit TO England the en-

often far less costly than those re-

commoners. An exception to the rule,
however, is the Christmas present
from the kaiser to his consort. This
is usually some unique piece of ex-
pensive jewelry made from the kais-
er's own design.
Tomorrow morning the emperor
will observe a happy custom that has
been followed by generations of Prus-
sian sovereigns. He will walk out UNI
attended in the environs of the palace
and chat with all passersby whom he
chances to meet. To such as appear
to be of the lower ranks of life he
will give at parting freshly minted
gold piece which, like all money for
the emperor's personal use, is highly
polished by the mint.
Returning to the palace he will re-
ceive populations by various bodies, |
bringing gifts and messages Of con
graduation. Among these gifts re-
ceived by the emperor every Christ
mas is a huge cake presented by the
Second Guard regiment.
