swEEr BUTTER VERSUS SALT. From Henry T. Finck's "Ungastro- homie America" in the No
 vember Century.

Not only is much of our butter spoiled by careless and uncleanly mak- ing, and by mixing the old with the new and in other ways "renovating'' it; but we permit it's most delicate flavor to be spoiled by preparing it with sour cream and adding salt.
 Until a few years ago it was almost impossible, even in New York, to get sweet (unsalted) butter. To-day it is served in the most expensive hotels and restaurants, some of the wealthy folk use it at home, and the general consumer has chance to buy it in a few places, at fancy prices. It is sell dom as good as the same product in the humblest French, German, Aus trian, or. Italian inn, or on the table of many peasants, yet 1t is a vast inn provement on the unpalatable lubri- cator placed on most American ta- bles, which should no more think of eating than I should axle-grease.

FIRE BOARD MAY
NOT NAME CHIEF
THIS AFTERNOON
Believed That Deputy Sloan Will
Not Have to Take
Examination.

At the meeting of the fire board this
afternoon fifteen firemen, one captain,
three ~lieutenants, an assistant superin-
tendent of telegraphs, n operator and
two linemen are expected to be APP
pointed. At the present time it is not
believed that the commissioners will
take up the SUBJECT of Chief Astley's
successor, although many are Of the
belief that some action will be taken
today.
1t was definitely ascertained that
Deputy Chief Sloan is the only eligible
man in the office and that the COM
mission has no choice in the matter of
appointing a chief. 1t was also said by
those familiar with the civil service
laws that Chief Sloan will not have to
take an examination. AS interpreted
by one well acquainted with the law,
the measure applying to the present
situation provides hat in a case of this
sort, where there are less than three
candidates, no examination need be
taken. There was a great deal of spec
ulation as to whether Chief Sloan
would have to submit to an examine
ton. Although everyone is of the be-
lief that he would pass with high
honors, it was thought, nevertheless,
that a man who has served the depart
ment as long as he has should not be
subjected to a test.
May soon Retire.
A number of men have declared that
Chief Sloan would be made chief and
that he would retire Immediately after
his promotion. In that event both the
chiefs and deputy chiefs office would
be vacant, and the captains would
first take an examination for deputy
chief and those that pass would then
be tested for the higher office. In the
event of both offices being vacant Pres
ident Weber, of the board, would be act
Ing chief.
The names of Battalion Chiefs
Moore. Towey and McDermitt are still
being mentioned for the higher offices.
Although it is thought that the first
two, Moore and Towey, are the most
likely of promotion, it is certain,
