There are many dishes. by the way,
which can be tasted nowhere except at
the royal table. The secret of their
preparation is known only to Mr.. Men
ager, and he guards such secrets with
great care. None Of his assistants has
the least notion of how these special
dishes and sauces are prepared. They
simply have the handling of the raw
materials and each assistant carries
out different directions in it's prepare
ton for the table.
The dinner menu is submitted every
day to their majesties for approval;
but this is a mere matter of form, for
neither the king nor queen ever thinks
of altering or interfering with Mr..
Menager's arrangements.
At 3 o'clock a report Is laid before
the great chef by the order cook of
the various meats that have been or
dered in accordance with Mr.. Men
ayers instructions of the day before,
and also what is called a kitchen re-
port is given to him by the head as
siStant coOk-which is a detailed state
ment Of the manner in which the din
ner for that night is to be prepared.
After seeing that everything is in or
der for their evenings work, Mr.. Men
ager generally leaves the palace about
o'clock. returning at $50, when he
never fails to make a personal inspec-
tion of the various ranges, ovens and
stoves and takes a careful note of the
temperature in each.
The preparation of the royal dinner
is then begun. Mr.. Menager remains
in the kitchen while the work is 60
ing forward, keeping keen eye on
everything and everyone, and issuing
from time to time instructions to his
first lieutenant. At $3.50 exactly bell
is rung and the servants who are to
bear the dishes to the state dining
room enter the kitchen.
At 8 o'clock dinner Is served, and
Mr.. Managers work for the day is
over. He remains in his private room
until 10 o'clock, when he receives a
message from the king commencing
the dinner. This is ceremony his

KING OF KINGS COOKS.

How British SOvereign's Meals Are
Prepared by $4,000 Chef.
Mr.. Menager, the head cook at Buck
ingham palace, occupies an important
post in the royal household. His sal
airy is $4,000 per annum and he is
recognized as being one Of the greatest
culinary artists in the world. The
royal kitchen and the whole kitchen
staff are under his complete control.
Opening off the main kitchen at one
side of it are half a dozen smaller
kitchens, and on the other side there
are four Offices, where the clerical
work in connection with the kitchen
department are attended to. One of
these Offices is Mr.. Menagers private
room. 41
Mr.. Menager does not live in Buck
ingham palace, but has his private
residence close to 1t. On arriving at
the palace usually about IL o'clock In
the morning-his first care is to in
spect the lunch menu for that day,
which has been prepared by his first
assistant, and also the menu for break
fast the following morning. He then
prepares the dinner menu for the fol
lowing day-a task that occupies him
usually couple of hours.
No two dinners at the royal table
are ever the same. Certain dishes are
from time to time repeated, frequently
by special. request of the king, but
what may be termed the general
scheme Of each dinner Is always diff
ferent One of the side kitchens Is
reserved solely for Mr.. Managers use,
where he carries out experimental Gu
linary operations and is constantly
celebrating and working out new ideas.
Some dishes have taken him months
of preparation before he has decided
to put them into the menu. There is
one particular sauce which Mr.. Men
ager invented some years ago to which
the king has a particular liking. Mr..
Menager was making experiments for
over three years before he served this
sauce to the royal table.

DAKoTA's MIXED MARRIAGES.

Unions of White Men and Indian
Women Not Frowned Upon.
In the Dakotas when a white man
WEEDS an aboriginal woman and public
ly acknowledges her as his wife he
provides her with as good a home and
clothing as he can afford, and he
treats her as he would treat a white
woman. He sees to 1t that she learns
to cook, to sew and to keep house, and
in other ways tries to educate and
uplift her.
Still more interesting is the fact
that these mixed marriages involve
little or no social disability. The white
husbands are rarely, If ever, barred
from associations with the whites be-
cause of their wives.
To be sure, a man known to be liv-
ing with an Indian woman who is
without benefit of clergy" is, as a
rule, in the language of one White
River plainsman, purity nigh ostrich
ize6." But this would be true If he
were known to be maintaining SINH
lar relations with a white woman.
Such loose-hitched tie-ups used to
be kind O common around here" said
my White River man, according to a
writer in Everybody's, land nobody
thought much about 'em. But there's
so many schoolma ans come out here

thing no more"
Legally married Indian wives pay
no more social penalty than do their
white husbands. Generally, the little
red hen sticks to her home and does
not go out with her white husband for
social evening as often as would a
wife Of her own race. But this is
largely a matter of Indian tempera-
ment.

they grow up they are asked to the

The steamer Hornet. which is to be
sold at auction by the Navy Department
on the first of June, is one of the yachts
which were purchased by the govern
ment at the outbreak of the Spanish
American war in 1898, and converted
into gunboats. Her retention in the serv-
ice for twelve years is evidence that the
smaller craft perform acceptably during
times of peace, when little gunboats can
command respect and uphold the dignity
of the flag. The converted yachts were
very efficient during the fighting on the
coast of Cuba, where one Of them-the

a birth the wheel is stopped in a

Should a miller die the sails of his

turned round until the arms form an
upright cross, in which position they
are left until after the funeral.

The finding of the lifeboat of the
mysteriously lost carferry Pere Mar

indication that the steamer was lost off

that the shipwrecked men tried to save
themselves by launching the boats. The
current of Lake Erie is toward Niagara
river and the great fall. The body OF
the captain of the lost steamer. buoyed
by a life preserver, was recently found
near Niagara Falls.
