A Blst Kitchen.
BOW THE VETOES ARE FT." AT TRE Wis
rttKs' BOMt AT DATTOS, OHIO.
That department of the Home of preat
cst interest to housekeepers is Ibe dining
ball and kitchen. Both are contained in
one building, the front portion of mhich
is occupied on both the upper and lower
floors by ttro dining-rooms, each '.0x130
feet, and together com pricing an area ex
celling half an acre. The rear one-story
portion contains the kitchen, bakery,
bread and pie rooms, cooling vaults, and
all the paraphernalia necessary to the
prwidin rr this vt 1iouh.-1.oM. 1 jith
dining-room seata I.i'"' wen, making
M'CJ at a sitting; and when the first set
is through eating, so Lar.'e is the force of
waiters and so accurate the discipline
that only twenty minutes are required to
clear the tables and prepare them for the
second 2.000 diners.
After the first lot of men have left the
ball, a bell is rung, and the army of wait
ers dash in close on each other's heels,
but in perfect order, remove the dishes,
crumbs, and clean the tables. After them
come files of men with heaps of clean
plates and bowls which they slap down
o". the tables regardless of sicks, and
m ilk a noise, I should think, like artil
lery. The meat is brought in on buge
trays, and the coffee served from large
tin pots at each end of each table. All
this is accomplished by .125 men, part of
them regularly paid, and part "detailed" (
from the outside as help. All the work
is done by the veterans, no women being
employed at the Home.
A Urge archway from the dining-ball
leads into the kitchen, a sanctum pre
sided over by a head cook and thirty
two assistants. Here are to be seen the
range, twenty feet loug, the vast copper
caldrons for cooking soup and vegetables,
and seven coffee boilers, each holding
upwards of a hundred gallons, which are
Tilled and emptied twice a day the year
through.
In describing this part of the Home
there i nothing left to do but to plunge
into statistics, or I cannot do it justice.
Here are some verified figures of quanti
ties of food used at the Home : It takes
seven barrels of mackerel, 54 bushels of
potatoes, and 50 gallons of coffee for
their Friday breakfast; seven tubs of
mashed potatoes and three whole beeves
go to one day's dinner ; i pounds of tea
very night for supper ; 1,2'W dozen eggs
for Easter breakfast ; 40 shep go to a
pot-pie, and '.KU pounds of corned-beef
with 30 bushels of potatoes for one mess
of hash. Twelve hundred pies, requir
ing three tubs of butter to the upper
crust and three tubs of lard for the lower,
with twelve barrels of apples for the fill
inir make one dav's dessert. Four hun
dred suuare feet of gingerbread are baked
twice week. On Christmas day the
veterans are treated to 4l0 turkeys, seven
barrels of cranberry sauce, 1,200 mince
r.i and ovfrters. celery and other deli-
cies in propoition. Bread is baked every
v hpinnine at midnight. It is knead
ed by steam, six barrels of flour to a
mixing, the machine being tilled tnree
times. These eighteen barrels of flour
fill a room shelved to the ceiling with
fragrant loaves, which are all eaten in

The average cost to the government of
this boarding bouse is twenty cents a day
for each soldier; not so expensive when
we consider the quality and variety of
food oied. The Congressional appropri

How to Woo Slumber.
The Delsartkn doctrine of rest by volun
tary muscular rvalaxtion is some what con
firmed by the experience of those who
have acted upon this theory in overcom
ing insomnia. Nothing so ijuk kly hrinm
sleep as the voluntary disposal of the
body and limbs in such f.mhion as to
romote muwular relaxation. The legs
and arms should be so placed as to bring
them in contact with the mattress at as
many points as poesible. This affords
support and relieves the muscles. The
body should be disposed in like fashion,
and if all has been done properly the
wooer of sleep will presently have the
consciouness of resting his whole weight
directly upon the mattress. When once
this feeling comes sleep generally follows.
The plan is better than the old one of re
peating the numeral1) or going over some
meaningless series of words, for it has the
double advantage of putting the physical
mia into an attitude of repose and of dis
tracting the mind from whatever thoughts
are at enmity with sleep.

Cider Vinegar Ma kin g.
L. K. Bryant, secretary of U c5'3er
and Cider Vineg-.ir Makers' Association
of the Northwest, recently had the fol
lowing to say in Prairte Farmer:
The essentials for making cider vice
gr on a small scale are a grinder to
grind np the apples into a fine pulp, a
good press to extract the juice, barrels to
put the juice in a frost proof room or
ceilar to store the product in, and, of
course, a good supply of decent apples.
Ordinarily good windfalls will make
good material for vinegar, but care
shonld !e taken to reject all immature,
wilted and rotten apples. When the
cidr is made it should be put into good
iron bound barrels and ranked up out
of doors, but in the shade, and allowed
to ferment The barrels should be
placed on timbers or poles elevated from
the ground sufficiently to allow the
contents to be run off into other barrel.
On the approach of freezing weather
rack off the vinegar stock into clean
barrels (only three-fourths tilled; by
means of a Uucet placed in the end of
the barrel, or preferably with a syphon
made of five-eighths rubber tubing.
This should be raised an inch above the
bottom of the barrel to avoid drawing
off the sediment All settlings should
be put into a separate barrel. The bar
rels can now be ranked np in their win
ter quarters, the bungs taken out and
remain undistubed until the contents
become good vinegar, provided they are
kept in a furnce heated cellar or arti
ficially heated room.
An ordinary cellar is too cool to make
vinwrar auicklv. and if such a place is
used for winter storage the barrels can
be removed to a common shed on the
approach of warm weather, remember
ing always to rack off the contents be
fore a barrel is moved. Never put bar
rels in the sun in hot weather, as they
will be spoiled and the contents lost
When the vineear is thoroughly made
a cool, dry cellar is an excellent place
to store it, and the barrels may be tilled
and bunged np.
To make srood cider or vinegar use
good, clean apples; exposure to heat
and air is what makes vinegar ; to have
bright clear vinegar free from must,
rack it before mov;ng it if it had been
standing any length of time, and thor
oughly clean the barrels as soon as
emptied. Good vinegar cannot be made
out of a large quantity of water and a
little cider. Strong, late made cider
msv bear the addition of a little water,
but that made early in the season will
net.

Born In the White House.
Only two children have ever been born
in the Presidential mansion and neither
of them was a Presidential baby. Strange
to aay, they arrived under two consecu
tive administrations, but, strangei still,
they both now live in Montgomery.
One of them is Miss Letitia Tyler, a lady
of rare accomplishments, and the other
Colonel Hal T. Walker, a prominent law
yer, w ho also liaj large planting interests.
As the name of the first indicates, she
was born under the Tyler administra
tion, and is the grand-daughter of Presi
dent Tyler, Colonel Walker's mother was
niece of President Polk, and his father
the President's private secretary. How
gloomy the White House muthave been
during most of the years cf its existence 1
Oniy two babies for nearly a century is
a poor record for any boose, and no de
gree of official splendor can atone for this
fatal shortcoming. AVr- Y;rk .Va7 ami

Yes, public confidence, that's the key
note of our successful advertising. The
day for fooling the public is past, and we
wouldn't do it if we could. Consumers
are never "fooled" whea they buy Klein's
celebrated "Silver Age" or Duqnesne
Ryes." These famous brands of absolutely
pure whisky are now known and sold
everywhere from the Atlantic to the
Pacific slope. Kfrery day swells the long
list of customers. Why ? Because the
whiskies named stand solely on their
merits. Leading physicians all over the
land indorse and preacribe them pretty
conclusive evidence that the goods are
just as represented the purest and best
obtainable. A poor whisky is never
cheap, but always injurious. You take
no chances in ordering "Silver Age" or

Wanted Them Weighed.
She was a business woman. Anybody
could see thi.t. She bad a square jaw, a
firm, set mouth, and as she stepped up to
a State street rtand yesterday, afternoon
the young man in charge felt that he was
in for it. She had been attracted by a
sign which read, "Grapes 5 cents per
pound."
"How much are these grapes worth ?"
she questioned, in a green persimmon
tone of voice,
"Five cents a pound, ma'am."
"You may give me three poun Is," she
said, after a pause.
The young man opened a paper bag,
and with the assurance of a long expe
rience in the business, filled it and pass
ed it toward her.
"I want three pounds of grapes," she
observed, icily.
"Well, here you are, ma'am," persist
ed the Tender.
"You will wtigh those grapes, if yon
please '" And the mercury in the ther
mometer across the street fell four de
grees. "Certainly, ma'am," and the boy ad
justed a small pair of scales to the three
pound notch. When the bag was placed
in them the lever went up with a snap.
He took out one bunch and laid it back
in his box. Still down weight. Another
and the scales righted to a hair.
"There you are ma'am ," but she
snatched the bag and bolted, mad enough
to murder somebody .Cliicago Mail,
