For Instanee, hy the addition of veg- etillde Julee Jiisl heforc lining dished up eisl cutlets are, at seasons when saltuoii Is very dear, set before eus- tomers ns salmon cutlets anil are, needless to say, charged accordingly. '1'bls 'Inception, according to au ox- chef, is wisely praetIced not only In better class restaurants, but also ott Home of the great liners. Another popular trick ns practiced by the restaurateur Is to serve a veal beef done up overnight In salted hand- ages, while a skillful chef bus very little dlllleully In palming otT llalllsh for sole on epicures who prldo them* selves on Hie soundness of their judg ment of cooking. tin one occasion some time ago a dinner for seventy live people was or dered at a well known fashionable res taurant In the upper part of New York. A large consignment of salmon had been previously ordered, but, to the consternation of the chef, the dinner hour slowly approached mid still no salmon arrived. In despair (lie chef, u Frenchman, decided to ‘‘take the bull by the horns" and proems* another tlsli to do duly for the coveted salmon. Accordingly he sal to work to turn cod cutlets Intosalm- oti cutlets, and this rapid trausioruin- tinn was soon effected by all addition of vegetable Julee. The waiters, who nattirnlly were aware of this whole sale deception, were given express or ders to report any cninplilhltH to (lie • lief lit once. However, to the Intense delight of (lie cltef, nil passed off well, and on hearing that Ins subterfuge bad not been detected lie gleefully ox claimed, "All. n cod and n l-'rcllcll cook can work nilrnclos."

This appellxlng dainty would at tlrst sight Hcem to defy even tIn* most Ingenious cookery fakir. However, tier** again Hu* artful chef Ins overcome apparently Insuperable difficulties and many tooth some looking lobster pul ties are tints not always ipiito wlmt they are said to be.

"The various deceptions 1 have told you of." remarked a famous chef to the writer, "are naturally not prac ticed every day, but are only utilized In times of emergency, and these emer gency moments arrive more frequently than the tl’Astful customer would like did be but know."

After lying for a few hours they arc placed on grids in rows almost perpendicular. The frames are then plneed In pans containing boiling olive oil. The oil Is changed as soon as It becomes too black and dirty for con tinuing the cooking process. As soon ns the llsli are considered ■Ufhcleutly cooked, they tire withdrawn from (lie pans of oil and the grids are placed on tin* tables covered with Blue, the surface of the table Inclining to ward a groove In the center. The oil Is thus carried to a vessel prepared to receive It. Hound the table stand the women whose business II is to pack tin* llsh closely and uniformly In boxes. The Imxes being full, the llsli nr ered with fresh oil mid the lids are then soldered down. Thus hcrmetlcnlly sealed they lire placed In Iron baskets and Immersed In holllng water.

The Studebakers are the largest vehicle manufacturers in the world; they get first nick of materials; have unusual facilities; their more than fifty years experi ence has shown them how to build the best vehicle on earth. These reasons have put Studebaker Vehicles and Harness in the front rank. Exceptional materials, exceptional facilities, exceptional experi ence, exceptfonal skill, produce exceptional goods.

In warning them of ap proaching danger nnd for other pur poses. The sphere of the susceptibility to various odors Is more uniform and extended In man, and the sense of smell is eapnble ot great cultivation. Like the other speJul senses, It may be cultivated by attention and prac tice. Experts can discriminate quali ties of wines, liquors, drugs, etc. Dis eases have their characteristic odors. Persons who have visited many dif ferent asylums for the insane recog nize the same familiar odor of the in sane. It Is not insane asylums ulnae, hut prisons, Jails, workhouses, armies in camp, churches, schools and nearly every household that have characteris tic odot-s. It Is when the Insane, the prisoners and the soldiers are aggre gated in large groups or battalions that their characteristic odor is recog nized. Most diseases have their char acteristic odors, and by the exercise of the sense of smell they could be util ized In different diagnoses. For example, favus has a mousy odor, rheumatism lias a copious sour smelling, acid sweat. A person af flicted with pyaemia has a sweet, nau seating breath. The rank, unbearable odor of pus from the middle ear tells the tale of the decay of osseous tissue. 1 In scurvy the odor is putrid, In chron ic peritonitis musky, in scrofula like st;ik’ beer,, la. luterinitteyL. fever, like fresh baked brown bread, in fever am- monlacal, In hysteria like violets or pineapple.
