SOME IMPROVED
KITCHEN DEVICES

We cannot overestimate the value Of
the kitchen thermometer, the sirup
gauges, and all instruments which re-
lieve cooking of chance results, says a
contributor to Good Housekeeper. Think
what pleasure and comfort there must
be in knowing just what a medium or
hot oven is and not in being dependent
upon ones variable gift for guessing.
The thermometer is useful not only in
the large family. but the small one as
well-in any family where any cooking
is to be done well.
The double skillet will be a great saver
Of labor and time. 1t looks like fry
ing pan divided inside by a partition, and
has two handles. 1t Is in reality two
semi-circular pans. These are hinged at
each end and hold fatty against each
other. The hinges work quickly. and for
doubling an omelet nothing could be
quicker and neater. 1t can be used,
moreover, for cooking two vegetables at
one time, or for baking, IL one side is
kept covered by the other.
individual Egg POacher.
Another useful device is the individual
esq poacher, which insures a round,
neatly poached egg. This is inexpensive
and is to be had in various styles. These
poachers are economical because all of
the egg is saved and not allowed to scat
ter throughout the pot.
Food choppers cost a little more than
q knife or chopping board, but they do
infinitely better work and do II twice as
quickly as the hand-choppIng method.
They are fastened on the edge of the
kitchen table and are manipulated by
a crank.
ChoppinE in this way gives a nearly
uniform size TO The chopped. substances,
which not only adds to the gustatory
value Of the dish but also TO the pleasure
Of the eye.
Chops Fruits and Nuts.
Not only meat, but fruits and nuts for
jams and marmaIsdes, and even yege-
tables, can be chopped with these ma
chimes. This is the sort Of device that
actually saves time and money. because
bits Of vegetables, and especially pieces
become thereby valuable additions to the
table. The nut crackers and cherry
stoner likewise belong to this class.
The French have again applied their
culinary and mechanical genius to the
making Of. pastry syringe for fancy
frostings. pastry moldings, whipped
cream garnishing, potato decorations,
&c. This is the metal syringe with point
ed nose and metal plunger. The more
or less uncertain hand pressure required
by the pastry bag is eliminated by this
device, -as the plunger acts evenly and
with as much precision as a piston rod.
A box with a dozen different points of
varying designs to be afixed TO the

TO BRING SACRED OILS.
Rev. Father Lavoie Visited San An
tonic.

Rev. Father Lavoie, pastor of the
American congregation of the Cath
Ollie church, visited San Antonio this
week for the purpose of obtaining
holy oils for the use of the Catholic
churches of this diocese from the
Cathedral of San Fernando in that
city, where the holy oils were con-
secrated by Bishop Shaw. Owing to
the fact that the Brownsville diocese
is still without a head, no one hav-
ing been appointed to take the place
of the late Bishop Verdaguer, the
ceremony of consecrating the oils
could not be performed in this
diocese, and it therefore became nee
essary to send to another diocese
for the supply.
Father Lavoie visited the church
in Corpus Christi on his way to San
Antonio.
