CRITICISM OF AMERICAN COOKS.
Famous German Chef Found But Ono
Dish Worthy Of Imitation.

Albert Neumann. chef to her i'm
perial highness the Prussian Crown
Princess Cecelie, has returned from
a tour In America a disappointed
man.
He was dispatched to this land OF
unlimited possibilities TO search high
and low for some culinary delicacies
better than anything made In Ger
many, and all he brought back worthy
OF imitation, he reports, is the clam
chowder.
Altogether he found American cook
Ing devoid of novelty or especial ex.
c~ellence. He says the only good Amer
lean cooking Is French. Indeed, he
says that the real American cooking
is simply barbaric-always excepting
the clam chowder, which he hopes to
make a favorite dish at the crown
princess table.
Herr Neumann was rather as
tonished at the failure of the Ameri-
can hotel cooks to achieve distinction,
for he found they had everything to
do 1t with. Our hotels. he says. have
kitchen arrangements which for ex-
ten~slveness, cleanliness and complete
ness equal those of the finest royal
palaces In Europe.

Il STORY.

MOT until after the news Of the death
~ OF Absalom and the utter failure
OF the rebellion which had at the first
been managed so brilliantly and sue
cessfully did the people of Israel and
judah realize the enormity of their
wrong doing. Then they wondered
how they could have been so easily led
astray, and contention arose among
the people, each charging the other
with responsibility for the misstep.
They saw now how vain and ambitious
q fellow the man Absalom had been
how little of real worth there was to
be found In him, and they saw also
as never before the sterling qualities
OF their aged king. and appreciated
how much was owing to him for the
nations greatness and prosperity.
During those days of darkness, and
doubt, and uncertainty, memory was
busy, and the people recalled David's
mighty deeds, from the first encounter
with the giant Goliath to. the many
brilliant campaigns through which he
had led his armies. When had the
nation had such a d%eliverer as David
had been? When had they ever had
such a leader as David, since the time
OF Moses and Joshua? Where was
there a ruler in all the nations about
30 faithful to his people, and so loyal
to God? He had kept the nation free
from idolatrous practices of the ma.
lions about. He had organized and
solicited the nation as a whole as II
had never been before. He had made
the name Of Israel to be honored and
feared among the nations about.
And with the reaction which began
in the nation following the collapse
Of Absalom's rebellion the memory OF
all these things swept owe the minds
Of the people, and the question arose
Of every hand:
What shall be done?"
The king had been driven forth.
What was now to be done? Shame at
their d~isloyalty, and anxiety over the
consequences Of their wrong doing
gave rise to wranglings and disputings
among themselves. and added to the
confusion OF the situation.
Some there were-perverse and re,
bellious s~pirits-who set themselves to
plotting further mischief. Absalom
was dead, to be sure, but the spirit
OF Absalom still was at work in their
hearts and far from longing for the re,
turn OF King David, they secretly set
themselves to further instruction. The
king was old, and could not be with
them many years longer. He had
lost his grip on things. He had been
driven out OF the royal city. VIII
again saddle the aged king upon
them? Let him remain In exile
They would seek out another who
should rule.
This new conspiracy was strongest
among certain Of the tribes of Ben
jamin, prominent among whom was
Sheba, the SON. Of Bichri. But among
all the tribes 81 Israel there were NAL
contents, who were only waiting the
call OF a leader to make fresh rupture
In the nation.
Such was the chaotic state of the
nation while the old and ~sorrow.strick

First Floor Plan

In buying a lot In a satisfactory neigh.
borhood, then follow this by building
a house that Ats the lot, the family
and the mans bank account. As a rule
men are influenced by their more
prosperous neighbors to build a more
expensive house than they can afford.
This often comes about by selecting
a lot In a high-priced neighborhood.
Then a nan feels under obligation to
build a house in keeping with the
street and the ideas Of his %neighbors,
He can't go against popular opinion

ter to move into another part of the

1874 Fifth Ave-, Chicago. Ill, and only
enclose two-cent stamp for reply.
A story and a half six room house,
comprising many desirable features, Is
shown In this plan. 1t is not very
large, but fortunately small low-cost
houses often have advantages over
larger ones. Three OF these advan.
tages are light, sunshine and air. In
a small house opposite windows are
necessarily near together, and the
light from one often crosses that of
another, although they may be in diff.
ferent rooms Sunshine, Of course,
carries light, and It carries life.giving
properties besides. Light, airy houses
Ore almost always healthful and cheer
full. In crowded cities houses offering
such advantages are always occupied.
while dark, dismal houses often go
begging for tenants. In this design
there are three rooms downstairs and
three rooms upstairs, and they are ar,
ranged to provide a great deal Of com.
fort and convenience.
When a man starts to build a house
he usually has some particular ideas
in mind that he wishes to have worked
into the plan. Very often these are
not practical. They have been ex.
tracted, as a general thing, from some
other plan and cannot we'll be grated
into the new design without spelling
the symmetry. You cannot have every.
thing In n house, no matter what
the size or the amount Of money II
costs. There are natural advantages
that go with the environment which
cannot be successfully transplanted.
This Is one of the principal reasons
why architects are necessary. One OF
the most difficult problems an archi.
tect runs up against Is to prevent own,
ers from injecting ideas into house

pense. Other advantages In a chimney
like this are that II usually draws bet
ter, IL climbs out into the upper air
through the peak of the roof, where Il
Is better supported by the house and
where 1t Is easier to fix the roof
around II so It won't leak. Still an
other advantage is the additional
height, which insures a better draft.
Chimneys like this draw better for
another reason, they are surrounded
by warm room aud the flues are cas-
lily heated. Hot air naturally goes up,
SO the ordinary cold draft OF the Chin
ney is increased by this natural phe-
nomenon, All you have to do to have
things right Is to follow natural laws
and take advantage of them to pro-
mote the end desired.
This little house is only 90 feet
wide by SO feet long, without meas
uring the porch. A 22.foot house can
be comfortably placed on a 30 or 35-
foot lot and leave plenty OF breathing
space on all sides. Then It don't cost
a great deal to build a compact little
house from this plan. Under ordinary
circumstances $4,000 should build IT
complete. with plumbing, furnace,
piping for gas and wiring for elee.
tricity.
