Now, the other day I happened to see myself a dish of lamb ch.,is returned. An epicure would l.avo rald trjttt they w;e,ve perfectly cooked, but the mtiti who ordPtecl them simply said to the waiter, "I don't like these lamb -chflps," .Ho didn't say whether lliey Vof cobkcil too much nr too lit tle, and thu waller wmild have lieen severely reproved had he dared to ask him why ho didn't like them. Paring the oyster season wn serve from three to four .thousand plates of mv oysters The sauce cook orders imme diately from i he fish bufher one' poitlot. of oysters for poulette. While the oysters aie passing from tho llsh butcher to the .sauce cook a kitch en checker lecotds the order on his book, slumping the exact time, so that no order can lie forgotten or delayed. When the waiter gets his oyster pou lette there is only one way for him to leave tho kitchen, nncl that entrance Is guarded by a number of controllers. In passing with the poulette the waiter hands his check to a controller, who stamps the price of the poulette on the check, and this l.s presented In the din ing room to the guest. The controllers are nothing more nor less than hill clerks, while th" wnltrs are salesmen. An order for an elaborate dinner re ceives no more attention than an order for one plain dish. The order for the oysters goes to the fish butcher, for the soup to the soup cook, for the fish to the llsh cook, for the roast to the roast cook, or inther to the chief cook of each of these departments, and so on through the menu. "You iee Adrlen, th" chef, has left the ranges and Is sitting at that high desk at the rlcht of them. He has on the' board In front of him orders which have been given days beforehand for seveial elaborate luncheons. These luncheons are now being served tip stalr.s In the restaurants and In private rooms. He orders the different courses put on the lite so that they will be cooked Just to a turn when the proper time for serving them comes. An ex perienced waiter takes this labor off the chef, for he can glw his coders so that each course will lie properly done when the time of service nrrives. "One of our grimiest drawbacks is that everybody wnnta to be served about the same time. Most people dine about 7 o'clock and all want to finish nowadays about S, so that they can spend the evening at the theatre or elsewhere. IN A KITSH. "It lequlres a great deal of tact and a vast amount of patience on the part of waiters and cooks not to get em- ban assed or out of temper when or ders are eiowdlng in on them until they ui" up to their ears and eyes In them. Oscar sets them a good example up stairs and Adrlen down here. Observe Adrlen for yourself as ho sits there at the desk giving his ordets. He Is as calm and coniplacenl as a self-satisfied pat son who feels that he Is one of tin. elect. He hears every order thai Is being given in this kitchen. The min ute that an older Is given for something out of season, something that is not on the maiket. he says, 'We haven't that In the house. It Isn't on the market.' The chef Is giving Ills orders and ans wering all aucstluns without becoming in the least milled, and as you see him now he Is always, day In and clay out. That's why he Is such a successful cher." "Does Oscar have to exercise such self. control nnd what does, he have to do?" asked tho reporter. "Are you" thinking about going Into the hotel business?" rejoined the buyer with a laugh. "If you are I'm not go lug to give uway any more of our se crets. Hut then nobody could ever get on to Oscar's arts and wiles. Oscar's business Is to know every prominent person who comes In here or is a guest of the house. Ho not only remembers their faces, hut addresses them by name If ho hasn't seen them for months or even years, Oscar hears all com- theiii? "Hear that. Adrlen," exclaimed the man, uddresslns the chef. "Mon Uleti!" ejaculated Adrlen, and then he added- "How doesn't it dif fer wuild be easier answered,'' but he was too lnisv to sav more. "Adrlen nnd 1 have long talks about that." continued the buyer. "This is a French kitchen. Kverythitig here Is croked In French style. Twenty yearn ogc when a man ordered a dinner for a party he wanted a huge Joint or a large nwst with -plenty of vegetables and pudding!-', and so on. Then people. I believe, went in for quantity rather than quality, and the cookery was rathei tanfeiess, of late years the American public has hecome so accus tomed to tlie French rutslm that there Is not one Important cook in this big kitchen who has not learned his trade In Paris. The chef. Adrian Tenii. for Instance, ir-celved his first training in Paris. From there he went tcy Haden Haden, to Vienna, litiiln, Copenhagen, Stockholm, and London, lo.lvulng everywheie everything lh.it hi could about every branch of c ookerv. From London l.e returned to 1'arU for an ex tra course, and then cam to this coun tr. He was chef for the lato Jav Gould, for the Fifth Avenue Hnt?l, and for the Cafe Savarin, for a time and then he returned to Paris, coming back to take possession of the Waldorf kitchen. The- chiefs of each depart ment under him have; been educated In a similar way and all are French cordis. MODFltN COOKHHY. "The principal characteristics of the cookery of to-day are Its delicate sca nning and fine sauces. It Is fashion able now to servo overythlns In very small portions, but In individual fancy' forms, so that each dish not onlv pleases the taste but also the eye. It Is very seldom that one Fes a roast or a jclnt at a fashionable dinner now. "French rookery has had a chance to develop remurkahlv In this country. Inasmuch ns a large amount of ma terial Is used here that In not used at all In France. We seldom find corn used there, okra Is unknown, and to lnatoes hae only recently been grown to any extent. Then the varie ty of wild turkeys and geese, and too many other things to mention are prac tically unknown there. "Fewer courses are served at a din ner than formerly. There seems to bo a strong endeavor to limit the length of a dinner to from an hour lo an hour and a half, whereas people used to sit at table for from two to live hours. This is considered not onlv very tire some In this rush' age. but also very bad form. Prompt rervlce, without unseemly haste, Is one of the keynotes to a successful dinner.

Ill Ml OP GAINF-S OP (.KOIHUA. A Nolnblc; Colored Jinn nnd Mis In teresting Theories. From the Kansas City Star. Bishop Gaines was owned liy the late "Bob" Toombs of Georgia, and the two men were descended from the same grandfather. If the bishop could have had his say about the matter. It would have been his choice to have been a pure African, but he does not disguise forts. the satisfaction which he feels over tlie undoubted ciuallty of the white blood In his veins. Bishop Gaines is the author of a hook In which he sets forth the belief that the solution of the negro eiuestlon In this country Is the absorption of the black race by the white. It Is his opin ion that a few hundred years, at the farthest, will witness, by admlxture.the disappearance of the African In Amer ica. He Is radically hostile to the scheme of Bishop Turner for deporting the negroes to Africa. "The place for the Afro-American", says Bishop Gaines, "Is In this country, nnd he l.s better off In the south than In the north. That Is, he has better op portunities for getting on In the world. He can buy land cheaper and find more work. In the north a negro aspires to be a barber, a hotel waiter or a Pull man porter. Jn the south he wants to be a professional man. He Is eager for on education, and wants to be as nearly like a white man as possible. In my preaching I try to save the body ns well as the soul. I tell my people that If they don't get used to shoes here they needn't expect to year any golden sllp pprs In heaven. I say to them: "Get a home, and a bank account, and a few bales of cotton, and It will hide your color.' " When asked about the faatulty of the negro for accumulating property, Bishop Gaines said: "When I began to preach In Atlanta In 1S68 tliere was not a colored family In the town owning their own home. Now the negroes there pay taxes on two or three million dol lars' worth of property, and I know col ored men who have a dozen houses or more to rent. The trouble about vot ing will be settled when the negroes learn to Improve their opportunities; when they become educated and acquire enough property to obtain a standing in the community." Bishop Gaines has always preached a policy of conciliation between the whites and the blacks, the responsibil ity of the negro as the architect of his own fortune, the necessity of patience In working out his destiny, and by fol lowing this course he has obtained sup port from the whites to the extent of $300,000 for the schools and churches which have been built through his ef- TI1F.

The Yukon, the geat river of Alaska, is one of the mightiest streams of the world. It Is navigable for large steam ers, as one unbroken Hood 1,965 miles from Its mouth, to where the Lewes and Fellv rivers unite to form It, or farther than twice as far as tu St. Paul, and more than twice as far as from Now Orleans to Chicago and navigable for light draft boats hun dreds of miles farther up each of these arms. At Its mouth It Is about sixty miles wide, and 1,400 miles above it is from eight to ten miles in width. It drains an empire of more than 500,000 square miles and discharges nearly as much water into the Bering Sea as the Mississippi does Into the Gulf of Mexico. Scores of mighty tributaries, many of them navigable streams, pour their waters into Its majestic channel. About 1,850 miles above Its mouth, the Klondike, a clear, .shallow river, per haps 200 miles long, and swarming with fish, empties Into It. Along the bed and banks of this comparatively In significant stream have recently been discovered the gold placers that have aroused the attention and fired the cupidity of tho world.

The Ktinie throughout poems to bo a Jastfirdly nspault with intent 011 the hatsmnn, who, armed with a police man's stick, or wtiddy, nr cluh, or whatever It I? called, cetn himself up, within a defined nrea, which loolts like the uce of diamonds, tn he cockshleel nt by .1 Inns, Htroni; man. who can pro ject a hall with unexampled violence, ut the same time Imparting to the mis slip a disposition to dodge anil curve and twist, and ultimately land on tho batsman's short libs by tnlsc pre tenses. However, the batsmen seem to have Inured themselves to these brutal attacks, and they awnlt the onslaught with commendable fortitude. A ball that to the uninitiated spectator looks Ilk- currying uway largo portions of the striker's anatomy Is nearly al wuys deftly and unexpected smitten below the vest and wiped right out. Another fentuio of the uanie, wh'loJi lends excitement to tho whole under taking, Is the wild scramble for bases. When the runner starts out to cover his ninety feet his chief anxiety Is to land on the next pad before the ball, which Is Invariably heading in the some direction at top (.peed, ns the boys don't stop lo blow on It when It conies In hot. These contending ele mentH glvo vivacity nnd spirit to the game, which is never at greater pitch than when a runner finishes a brilliant run by plunging forward and finishing the rush by sliding gracefully In on his car or nose. Then, too, the ubiquity of the fielders Is an amazing thing. Indeed, tho man ner In which the Bclentllln llclder man nges to be here, there and over "he yant" nt one and the same time Is the most remarkablo thing In contempor aneous history. I was glad to notice tho enthusiastic plaudits which rent tho itlf when a genius succeeded In cliaMng tin escaped hall one hundred yards or so, falling over twice, finish ing the run on his bunds .nnd catching tho recalcitrant with his feet, or a per formance to that effect. Itaee ball Is a spirited affair: It Is alive from start to finish, llko foot ball; It does not give ono tlnip to grow old; It does not wear on the spectntor like n lingering Illness, as cricket Is apt to do when two stonewallcrs aro In. If u ninn Blnuld perchance go to sleep he does so at tho risk of Ills life, and In cass of death there Is every prospect of the Insurance company refusing to hand over the money, on tho plea of contributory negligence. Theso nre my flrst crude Impressions DR. R ID PATH CONSENTS January 13th we should have been compelled to announce the closing of the Wanamaker History Club, as the club limit had been reached. Such a course would have keenly disappointed thousands who had neglected to join the club. The case was laid before Dr. Ridpath, and he generously consented to our having another edition, but only one-half as many as the former one. But he insists that no more shall be sold at this price. With this absolute limit reached, there is NO TIME TO LOSE if you would secure this greatest of histories of the World's nations and peoples at half the publishers' regular prices. Rldpaths History of the World mas m SUaw is m H II If you don't know the unique place tlvs work holds In hiKl'sh literature read n minute It's more than Interesting John Clark Ridpath, A. M., LL. D is one of the most eminent historians of this or any other time. He spent over lorty years in writing this History of the World. We'd like you to get a clea understanding of this wonderful work, but it's hard to convey by telling. Dr. Rldpath's work suffers much sim ply because Ihtri's nothing to compare it with In this whole world. No other his tory has attempted to cover such a scope yet It covers It thoroughly concisely accuratelv. 9 You will some day feel the need of this greatest of all histories.

True, you can procure histories of some of the greater and a few of the minor races separately partial records for the most part bv various histo rians. True, also, you can consult the encyclopedias for abstract facts and Incidents of various times and countries, though no consecutive or accurate record can thus be obtained except bv tlie student. But in Rldpath's History ot the World you read page after page of the "most delightful un-hlstory-like narrative In which Is t6ld connectedly the story ot man from the original stock, through nry out of the many ethnic branches of the black, the brown and Ihe ruddy races till without effort of memory, you've a clear idea of all the existing branches of the great Human Family as well as the paths they've followed down the centuries from the beginning.
