ARTISTIC EATING EXPLAINED

Our reputation as a nation of gas
tronomic experts has been assailed We
have been told by a New York chef
who closed the doors of his unpreten-
tious restaurant because it did not pay,
that Americans do not know how to
eat. This statement may have been
tinged with the bitterness of prejudice
as the culinary artist bethought him of
the looming background of American
creditors, whose hearts and StomachS
were equally hardened against him.
An interview with famous Alsatian
chef, who for twenty-five years has
welded a triumphant skewer and
proved himself doughty knight of the
gridiron in one of the biggest hotels in
this city, throws another light on this
interesting subject. He Indignantly de-
MED the assertion of his New York CO.
worker and spoke with enthusiasm of
americans.
"I lof to cook" he exclaimed happily,
land the people who come here lof bet
ter to eat what design. 1t is great
art-but one must have much talent
both to conceive and execute. If people
did not eat things do you suppose that
1 would plan them?" And he twirled
his mustaches upward with vicious
gesture.
Now, you see what 1 have here"
and he laid his tablet before me. "Ah,
here is a poem, a rhapsody, a veritable
landscape of meal. We begin. Behold!
Escargots au gratin, which is snails,
beautiful little snails, baked in the
shells. Then we progress to chicken
mulligatawny, which lulls one like
lotus flower. 1t has apples and egg
plant in it, along with onions and green
peppers. Oh, stay! Here is something
better! Consomme Colbert, which has
a poached egg floating peacefully In a
lake of vegetable soup. Rapturous, is
1t not?"
But, do people know what they are
getting?" was asked him.
"Of course" he answered in mat
ter-of-fact tone. "Now we are down
Los Angeles herald., 1910-01-02

served a la carte, think differently
from the chef. With one voice they
agree that as a nation Americans are to
the fore when it comes to solid, sensible
ordering, but considered from the art
istic standpoint, or from the con-
noisseur, who likes to nibble casually
here and there, the healthy uncompro-
missing American appetite Will nave
rome of it.
Americans assuredly know how to
eat" said Mr.. McHenry. the head
waiter of the Colonnade hotel, "and
they appreciate good food, but there
is nothing epicurean in their ordering.
They want it solid and filling; instinc-
lively they fight shy of high season
ing and foreign dishes. Now Frencn-
man is your truly artistic eater. He
orders here and there, nibbles at fancy
fish and caviare, trif1es with salad,
and a vegetable or two, and browses
little among the fancy dishes. He
plans with an eye to delicacy and eff
fectiveness, and avoids meats. Moth
ing like that about Americans. They
order a good varied wholesome meal.
and If they are not artistics, at least
they appreciate good food.
IF by good eating you mean the
more elaborate items of the bill OF rare,
then emphatically the average Amer
ican is not appreciative; as rule, ne
is skeptical of the fluffy ruffles part
of the menu, and leaves it to his wom-
en- folk to experiment with them. But
if by good eating you mean the appre-
citation of food which comes from a
healthy appetite born of hard work
and mental exertion, then he Is right
on the job. There is no hunger under
the sun like that of the American. he
eats with a zest that is refreshing ana
uplifting. He has the blessing OF good
digestion and large capacity for 1000
and If he lacks in the artistic merit,
which characterize the French. at
least he is happily immune from the
corresponding fastidiousness whlch
makes them the hardest people under
the electric lights to please-Phlladei-

sLAckMAIL BY CARRIER PIGEON

Blackmail by carrier pigeon is the
very latest novelty in Paris.
On Sunday night during the past
summer a tradesman received an
anonymous letter, the writer of which
desired that he would disclose certain
secrets of the tradesman unless he
received 1000 francs to be sent by car
rier pigeon.
"On Tuesday morning" he was told,
-four carrier pigeons will be sent to
you. Each bird carries under it's wing
a little case, in which you will place
1000-franc note. You will then set the
pigeons Free and if they do not return
to me by midday 1 shall know what
to do"
The pigeons arrived from four diff
ferent railway stations in Paris on
Tuesday morning, as stated. The
tradesman handed them over to the
police, who set them free, weighing
them lightly enough to allow them to
fly, but heavily enough to make them
fly slowly. They followed on bicycles
in the hope that they thus might be-
tray the backmailer into the hands of
justice, but he had also flown when the
police arrived.

A PINK TEA SWINDLE

1t was prohibition country. want
to buy some nice cold tea?" he asked,
with just the suspicion of wink.
Two thirsty looking cattlemen
frightened visibly, and each paid a
dollar for a bottle.
"Wait until you get outer the sta
tion before you take drink" the little
man cautioned them. 'I don't wanter
get in trouble"
"You seem to be doing a pretty good
business" remarked a man who had
watched it ALL But I don't see why
you'd run any more risk of getting in
trouble if they took a drink before the
train started"
''Ye don't, hey? Well, what them
bottles had in 'em, pardner, was real
cold tea. a."-Everybody's Magazine.
