ACROBATIC COOKING-.
MIRACLES DONE IN THE GALLEY OF
AN ATLANTIC LINER.
fiencoeting Dishes While the Kitch-
en Is Pring to Turn Somersaults
and the Pots and Pans Are Danelias
Jigs With tlie Cooks.
Cooking on the high seas isn't so • ex -
Citing a profession as it was in the old
aye, but even now it presents problems
and situationSthat would drive a lands -
111116 chef to despair. It is one thing to sit
down in dignified calm in a hotel kitchen
and compose -a symphonic entree, and it's"
quite another thing to clutch a rope
swung -across a kitchen that is .trying to
turn turtle and to master an entree that
is attempting to dance -a- cancan on top
of a plunging range. It would be a hap-
py- thing for stewards and cooks if every
disgruntled passenger on a traneatlantie
steamer could, -in tough weather, - be
forced to pay a visit to the galley and
Ivatch the efforts by which the meals
with 3vhich he has been finding fault are
prepared. The chances are that two min,
utes amid the Nines and heat of the gal-
ley \roll la reduce him to a. state of sea-
sieleness which would rob him of all inter-
est in meals of nny sort, bet if he catild
wait long enough to receive a few mental
imoressions he would climb -the galley
st.ti;1 a humble and contrite traveler and
nee, pt food fit to eat as a miracle wrought
in his imlutlf. ,
On the modern steamers galley arrange-
weete have been improved to a degree
1 t!,at would - make an old time sea cook
-esti his eyes in amazement, but even
eeder such conditions the cooking- is difli-
't work. In the first place; room is nee- .
.:eteily limited, and every Melt of space
:east be made to count, yet a large Dum-
ber of cooks and assistants are employed.
One of the large steamers will -Imee 30
men at woyk in its galley, and 301 men
playing leapfrog _ about a microScopic
kitchen --and doing juggling feats with
poteeeinde pans and knives aed riffling
l
pins., while the ship l.) stands on its eam
ends is a sight to bring tears to theeyes
of a lover of a quiet life.
• In these narrow quarters cooking Is
done on a scule -larger than the ordinary
saloon passenger realizes. The crew
must be ' fed in port and out So the
cooks have from 500 to GOO Men on their
hands every day of the year. .Then dur-
ing tile voyage the steerage, second cabin
mai first cabin must be provided for The
stverng-o paseengers do not lave an elab-
orate bill of. fare, but about 3,000 small
lonN'es of bread are baked for the crew
and steerage evei.y,clay, and that in itself
is no_small task ,
The very sight of the baker's dough
trough is . enough to disco rage a faint
hearted cook, for flourais d impecl into it
hy the bared.. One letind ed and fifty
barrtls of flour melt away OD a,v yage
Ii!' spring snowflakes, an 20. tons of
potatoes dance merrily u the galley
stnirs to talile bomb in hant with 20,000
noands of beef, while 10,0( eggs, more
nr less seasick, follow weari y. Then 150
gallons of fresh milk scorn he 1,000 gal-
lons of condensed Milk st red- beside it
and advise the 1,000 pound of coffee to
have nothing to do .with It. The ghosts
of countless chickens, turkeys, ducks and
fishes haunt the larder where their
sittuerhtered bodies hang in hundreds at a
time. As for the incidentals, no one but
the head steward plows the tale of them.
Imagine -:Ili this food prepared in an
apartment; house kitchen- addicted to
handsprings, and you have the steamer
galley situation. -
• Along the end of the room run the
ranges. The ovens. are divided into com-
partments which will hold firmly pans of
varying sizes. On top of the stoves a
steel bar runs along- the front and back,
and separate crossbars maY be clamped
to the at .convenient- intervals. Pots
and kettleare hemmed in in this way,
and to add to their firmness each is
clamped to a crossbar with ,what looks
like a large iron clothespin. •All cooking
utensils are made much deeper than,
would be necessary in ordinary cooking
in order tq avoid spilling of the contents •
iu case of rough weather. The huge
copper stock pots iu which wholesale
boiling is done are heated by steam, and
all broiling is done over an immense
charcoal fire. The bakers have a sepa-
rate cubby hole and ovens for themselves,
and beyond them is a cold room -where
confections and pastry are made. -
Everything is swept and garnished in a
fashion to satisfy the heart of a Dutch
housewife. The' copper shines resplen-
dent -but the smells! Ye gods, the smells!
Let the seasick man who has held his
!breath and plunged madly up the com-
panion way to escape the deadly whiff of
air coming from the galley imagine that
gust of odor i tensified, concentrated,
mixed with stearil and smoke and multi-
plied by four, and he may have some
idea of the atmo phere down in the gal-
ley.
A steamer kitc en is no place for. any
one with a tendency toward seasickness,
,end the first few voyages of a- young
-cooltes assistant are tortures. . There isn't
any: fine glow of :majesty about his mar-
tyrdom, and he doesn't get an atom of
sympathy. His galley mates guy .him,
' and his superiors'hully him. He sounds a
depth of seasickness beside which the
state of the groaning passenger on deck
in a- steamer chair is rose colored and
agreeable. Often one voyage is all that
be can stand, and he boltsincontinently
when the ship reaches port, but if he has
the .courage to suffer until he is thor-
oughly seasoned he overcomes his qualms
and is readyito laugh at the next green
hand. .
• FCAV accidents occur in the - steamer
galleys nowadays, when innumerable pat-
ents and safeguards are employed. Once
in awhile a stock_ pot blows up from too
much steam pressure, or a careless or un-
skilled cook is cut or burned or scalded,
but such cases are rare. Ropes are
Stretched across in front of the range,
and when the ship is phinging badly the
cooks hold these ropes while working
over the .fire. Fortunately for the work-
ers in the galley, when the -weather IS
very rough a large percentage of the pas-
sengers lose their interest in food, so the
work of the cooks IS lessened, and this
fact offsets the added difficulty - in the
preparation of the food. The galley is
separated from the rest of the boat by
water tight doors and con be shut off so
seeurely that it is practically'impossible,
except in case of serious accident, for
water to reach the fires and rput a stop to
culinary proceedings.

MARRIAGE LICENSES
ISSUED AT
THE HURON EXPOSITOR OFFICE,
BEAFORTH, ONTARIO.
NO WITNESSES REQUIRED.,
QUEER MARRIAGE CUSTOMS.
Toting Bulgarian Peasants Arrange
Nuptials by Proxy.
There are few places within the limits
of semicivilization that boast of more in-
teresting marriage eusteners than Bul-
garia. Every young peasant wishes to
marry as early as possible, as he is of lit-
tle importance in the community until he
has a wife. But he is not in danger of
forming an alliance in oppositieu to his
parents' wishes, as his earnings belong
to them until he is wedded, and his wife
must be bought and paid for according
to their station in life. The parents
usually. give him the necessary sum as
soon as they can afford Hp so that the
restriction is less galling than it seems.
A "wife purchase" varie,s1rom $200 to
$1,500; in proportion to the wealth of the
contracting fan3ilies, for the marriage is
strictly a• family affair. Ip addition to
this sum a smaller amount is given to
the bride's mother for her personal use.
After the pecuniary arrangements have
been made by the proxies the betrothal
takes Place on either a Wednesday or
Thursday. It consists of the exchange
of written pledges regarding the sum to
be paid by the bridegrooixd on the one
hand and the household furnishings to he
supplied by the bride on the other.
1tineet3 then are blessed by the priest
and exchanged by the couple, the fiancee
kisses the hands of the guests assembled
and retiree with her young friends to a
feast prepared in another room. The
Young people then dance outside Ithe
house and sing.
The fiance's presents are then produced
and their value esthuated .by the father
of the bride. These consist of shoes,
headdress and necklace of coins, silver
belt, bracelets and other jewelry. The
father usually regards their value as in-
sufficient, probably to enhance his daugh-
ter's worth in her suitor's eyes, and the
lover adds coin by coin until an agree-
ment is reached. The marriage does not
take place nub] six months after the be-
trothel.
During the week precedhag the day set
for the wedding the house for the young
couple is furnished by the bride's pardnts.
Then her home is cleaned and white-
washed and every hidden store brought
out for decoration. Cakes are made and
sent around as invitation cards, request-
ing the recipients to come to the wedding
on Sunday, the invariable wedding day.
The nrticles composing the trousseau are
hung up for inspection on cords stretched
across the principal reorai on .Friday by
the -feminine part of the community. On
the following daY two of the bride's
friends come t� help her dress her hair, '
plaiting it in minute- braids, not to be un-
done until after the cereniony. Then the
village maids come with gifts of sweets
Red flowers, and all sit down on the floor
to a dinner of vegetables.
On Sunday the beide is seated in state
in all her gorgeous apparel, and with a
spangled red, veil o'ver her face, to be
seen of all the village folk. She wears all
the ornaments given by her fiance and as
many more as she possesses. The reli-
gious ceremony is that of the Greek
church mid may take place in the church
or in the home of the bridegroom's fa-
ther. After its performance the parte; re-
turns to the home of the bride's parents,
where the wedding feast is held. Singing
and dancing follow until time to escort
the beide to her new honte.-New York
Tribune.
He Was V" ry Humble. •
The Detroit Free Press tells of a dis-
appointed office seeker who at last obtain-
ed' a gift through a late won humility.
When he arrived at Washington, it was
with the idea that he was a distinguish-
ed and prominent citizen; but after hang-
ing about and swallowing disappoint-
ments, lie began to suspect that he was
not so very important after all.
Then he thought of home and the
means of getting there and sought out
Colonel Blank, the passeuger agent of a
certain railroad.
"I say, colonel," he remarked persua-
sively, "I want to go home."
"Why don't you go?"
"No money. Can't you give me a
pass?" -
The colonel stiffened.
"We give passes to, nobody," said he.
The countenance of the disappointed
candidate brightened with a smile of hu-
mility.
"Well, colonel," he pleaded, "then give
me one. I'm nobody."
The colonel admitted the force of the
argument and gave the pass.
, A Roofed Lake.
A. roofed lake is certainly a novelty.
We read much of them in fiction. Lakes
are made to exist in caverns nind subter-
' ranean passages, but rarely do we hear
of such in fact. HoweVer, such a thing as
a roofed lake does !exist, and this is not
subterranean. There is a lake at Obdorsk,
in Siberia, nine miles wide and 17 miles
long. Time was when the rapid evapo-
ration of the water left great salt crys-
tals floating 011 the surface which. grad-
ually came together and formed into one
gigantic cake. The witter of the lake
still further evaporated, but the cake of
salt kept its own level, thus forming a
roof to the lake. Another lake on the
Mangishlak peninsula, in the Caspian
sea, is shnilarly roofed with salt crystals
which are of such consistency as to per-
mit of man and beast coessing over then)
with safety.
The Point of the Sword.
In the use of the sword in cavalry
fightingthe point is considered more
dendly, thecutmore disabling. The cav-
alry fight at Llerena, in Estremadura,
April 11, 1812, is an example. The fight
lasted but a few minutes, for the British,
charging, broke the French- 1 fel:Illation.
The latter had 12 men killed aim] lost 128
prisoners, all suffering from sword cuts,
while the English had nine men killed
and 47 wounded. All the killed were
slain by the "point" and the wounded
practically in every case had -received
their injuries by the "cut." Napoleon
was a great believer in the point. At the
battle of Wagrara he shouted to his
cuirassiers as they passed him at the trot,
"No sabering; give point! give point!"
and kept plunging his sword into the air
to emphasize his orders.

",Going to take the day off, eh?" said
the chief of divieion to the cleik when
the latter reported at the Aare at 9
o'clock and put in a slip for a day's leave.
"Nothing the matter, I hope? No sick-

"No," replied the clerk drearily, lean-
ing heavily on the chief's desk. "No
sickness, or anything like that. But I've

THE HEIGHT OF POLITENESS.
As Exemplified by an Officer on a
British Man-of-war.
This is a story of the height of polite-
ness. It is told by Angus Evan Abbott,
the author, and it is, I believe, absolute-
ly true. Mr. Abbott is a Canadian by
birth and education, and on first coming
to England he was, as most Americans
and Canadians are, eager to catch a
glimpse of the queen. But as her majes-
ty did not live in his suburbs, Mr. Ab-
bott's wish remained ungratified for some
time. YIowever, one day he found himself
in Portsmouth and learned that the roy-
al yacht, with the queen and Princess
Beatrice aboard, was to cross from the
Isle of Wight to Portsmouth. !
Hastening down to the landing place,
he discoVered that there was not the
ghost of ,a chance of catching !sight of
her majesty on land, so he went to the
waterside, hired a small boat and rowed
out into the great harbor. Pushing out
from the inner port, wherein rode a
mighty fleet of battleships and cruisers
all aflutter with bunting in honor of the
queen, the writer found himself on the
broad outer bay, alone except for a dot-
ted line of men-of-war's boats indicating
the route to be taken by the queen's
yacht.
Pulling in his oars and allowing the
boat to float at will, Mr. Abbott got his
glasses focused ready for the queen's
yacht and put in his time reading a book.
All at ouce he heard a Voice sounding as
though it came from the clouds. It was
gentle, aristocratic of accent and apolo-
getic in diction. It said, "I beg your par-
don, but would you mind letting: us
pass?"
Glancing quickly up, Mr. Abbott be-
held the bow of the mighty battleship
Minotaur towering over his little rowboat
like a precipice, and peering over the
brow of the cliff of iron [ was the calm
face of a naval officer. The ship was
[swinging slowly into harber and was but
a few yards away, coming directly to-
ward the tiny rowboat.
In the words of the novel, "To seize the
oars and pull for his -life' was the work
of an instant:" When Mr. Abbott was
clear of the battleship, the naval officer,
not a ghost of a smile on his face, said,
"Thank you very much," and the ship
crept past. Mr. Abbott claims that naval."'

English Law as to Fits.
A. mackintosh that did not fit was the
subject of a legal decision in the West-
minster county court. The Regent street
shopkeeper who made the garment said
that the purchaser (who sued for the re-
turn of three guineas paid) did not give
him time to make another that would fit.
The judge said a person was entitled to
a "fit" when a garment was sent home,
and any permiesibn to alter or make a
fresh article -was mere good nature and
not law. The case should not have been
defended. He gave the disappointed cus-
tonaer his three guineas, with costs. -Bir-
mingham Post.
No man can succeed in life unless he
has ambition, and no man can succeed in
life if he has nothing else. -Somerville
