PLAIN COOK’S DAY IS HERE
NEW YORKERS NOW CALLING
FOR SIMPLE FARE.
French Chefs Cut of Favcr With Those Who Can
AfforJ Them-Fancy Dishes Eaten Chief!/
by the Hcrried---Women Cooks Preferred to
Men—Good, Says a Doctor.
The manager of the employment
agency which makes a specialty of
supplying cooks to persons able to
pay high prices for them put the
letter down on his desk and began
to enter its requirements on a blank.
“I’d like to know what the French
chefs are doing for work nowadays,”
he said. “Here is the fourth appli
cation for a cook that we have re
ceived to-day. They all came from
big houses and this one was from
Newport.
“But nobody wants a man and no
body is more anxious for the kind of
cooking that the Frenchmen have al
ways been famous for. A good plain
cook is what they are all after.
"In one way or another that has
been the special feature of all the or
ders we are getting this year. It will
be a cook who can make dishes good
but plain, or a cook, preferably a
woman, who can cook meats and fish
well but plainly. Another patron
writes:- ‘You know, we are tired of
mi ted up sauces and such things and
want the best plain cooking.’
“I don’t know what all this en
thusiasm for plain cooking means,”
the manager went on, “unless it is
that New Yorkers have got so much
into the habit of going to hotels that
they want at home the simplest
things that can be prepared. This
sort of cooking does not interest a
chef, and there is therefore very lit
tle demand for the men cooks.
“People know that a chef will give
them everything perfectly plain for a
short time and then in a sudden
burst of remorse at neglecting all the
principles of his art will treat them j
to a succession of timbales, mousses, j
purees and pates calculated to throw j
them into chronic indigestion or !
gout. For that reason French chefs '
are not in demand.
“My patrons have more confidence
in women. It is not a question of
salaries. I don’t think that consid
eration enters into their plans at all.
It is merely the desire to get a good
plain cook."
It was to find out how widespread
this desire for plain food was that a
Sun reporter went into the little office
of a hotel steward who‘with the chef
makes up the daily menus for the
customers that go to the restaurant
for luncheon and dinner. - - •
“There is no use denying the great
er demand for plain cooking even
here,” the steward said, “although
we naturally feel it less. There is
always talk of this kind in the sum
mer, and some of it comes from the
fear of poisoning.
“It is hard to convince New York
ers that any lobster, for instance, is
as good as a plain broiled lobster, or
that any kind of fish is as good as
when it is plainly boiled and served
with a maitre d’hotel sauce of pars
ley and melted butter. It may indi
cate a very elementary gastronomic
taste, but New Yorkers will believe
that a broiled porterhouse steak is
better and more tasty than any other
way of cooking it, no matter how
many truffles, cepes, red peppers or
champignons you may mix together
in the casserole.
“Now, I don’t admit that a liking
for our beef, our fish and above all
our lobster plain, indicates any lack
Of cuisinary development. We are
one of the few nations in the world
that can afford to take our food so
plainly, for the simple reason that in
no other country is the natural food
so good.
“The Frenchman never does any
thing with his laDngouste, which cor
responds to our lobster, but to eat it
with some mayonnaise sauce. He
does not allow a cook to cover it over
with herbs, shrimps and other ex-
otic condiments, because the flavor
of the langouste in its original condi
tion is too fine to be tampered with.
“Frenchmen put white wine on
sole, and that is in reality a rather
simple sauce. They simply fry it.
That is because sole is one of the
few fish that are really good in
France, and its taste should not be
destroyed by adding ingredients that
take away or change its own natural
flavor.”
This authority mentioned trout as
another fish which French cooks left
in its natural state almost, <?r at all
events served with very simple sauces.
The sauce meuniere is in reality not
a rich or highly flavored addition to
a fish and consists chiefly of butter.
The way of cooking trout most popu
lar in France consists in putting the
trout into water and boiling it.
“As to the preference for plain
dishes over more fancy mixtures,”
the steward went on, “1 can give you
one rule which works with us and
with most of the restaurants I know
of. The entrees that are ready for
guests and are wanted in a hurry, the
fancy dishes among them, are taken
by our patrons. But no man ever
thinks of calling for them unless they
are ready.
‘‘lf he has the time to order a dish
and wait until it is well cooked he
will take a filet, a roast duck, a
broiled squab, spring chicken or
some such plain meat.”
Other hotel stewards told the New
Ysrk Sun reporter of the same state
of affairs. New Yorkers are just now
eating simple dishes, that is to say
the best of food, but well prepared
and simple, when they take the trou
ble to order dinner. When they take
what is on the menu before them it
is likely to be the fixed up dish pre-
pared by the hotels for their hurfied
customers.
“The hygienic side of the new rage
for simple food must not be over
looked.” said a doctor who was asked
what the effect of this change on the
health of New Y'orkers might be.
‘•Lots of persons are learning that in
simple food lies relief from many of
the ills that people have suffered
from.
“Gout doesn’t come only from red
wine or champagne, nor does obesity
come only from sweets and liquor.
Both these complaints are from eat
ing rich food as much as from any
thing else, and it is owing to their
knowledge of that fact that New
Yorkers have developed their fond
ness for eating food that is good in
itself and does not depend for its
taste on the additions of the cook.”
rrxen AND JUDY IN PARIS.
Beginning of a Popular Form of En
tertainment For French Children.
The guignol of the Champs Elysees
was founded in the year lolS by a
certain M. Guentleur, whose de
scendants have maintained its man
agement uninterruptedly from father
to son, thus making it one of the
doyens of Parisian entertainments.
The first spectators of note in this
little area were the children of the
Due d’Orleans, the future Louis Phil
ippe and the little Princess Clemen
tine, who had reserved for them
regularly seats at the end of the
front bench, where they mingled with
the more plebeian enfants da France,
future temperamental subjects of the
tiny Prince Louis.
Perhaps it is due to its aristocratic
pedigree that the guignol of the house
of Guentleur takes precedence in the
matter of magnificence of its tinsel
appointments over all the other guig
nols. Be that as it may, there are
no faded harpists here, but instead
two jolly, well fed little Italian musi
cians, who keep the wee ones ab
sorbed through the long waits that
are characteristic of all French en
tertainments. Then the dialogue of
the puppets is not an extemporary af
fair, but one which leads you to won
der now and then what man of letters
was given grain to feed the Pegasus
of his early struggles by the generous
and encouraging M. Guentleur.
Now, Punch and Judy in Paris does
not deign to subsist on chance cop
pers. In this it is quite unlike the
Neapolitan Puleinello, grateful for
anything. Instead it takes its proper
place with the drama, elevated or un
elevated, of the land, and exacts from
you for your place within the ropes
an admission of ten centimes. Where
in your own dear country could you
find anything like it for two cents?
Monsieur de Guignol considers
himself a public benefactor because
everything outside is charitably free,
and pathetically popular, too. Mad
ame, his wife, attends to the revenue,
and as that is never a too arduous
task, likewise ushers spectators to
their seats, with a chance for a bit of
knitting on the side. A busy life is
hers, for you see Monsieur is so much
of an artist that quite naturally he
has no sense of time, in consequence
of which Madame must mind the hour
and see that everything runs
smoothly.
Then, too, Monsieur is led to such
ecstasies of joy when his show meets
proper external appreciation he is
apt to forget that puppets are but
poor frail creatures after all, and that
it is Madame who has to do the
mending. Indeed continually she has
to be poking her head in at the side
curtain cautioning him to be careful,
and of course you know that is like
throwing cold water on the coals of
genius. Occasionally this sort of in
terference causes Monsieur audible
mental anguish, and Madame retreats
precipitously and discreetly, from a
fear of apoplexy, she says, and one is
polite enough to believe her.—.Thea
tre Magazine.
The Late Train.
Elmer M. Thayer, a rich resident
of North Dana, Mass., became imbued
with the revolutionary ideas about
marriage that have recently been cur
rent, decided, that he would enter into
a trial marriage, and died of worry
over the hotoriety his action brought
upon him.
A North Dana man said to a re
porter;
“It is no wonder Thayer wanted
to have a trial marriage, for he al
ways regarded marriage for life as
a dangerous contract. He always said
that it took a brave man to enter
into it.
“Thayer stoutly held that only one
marriage in a hundred was happy.
He used to say that if husbands and
wives spoke their minds frankly they
would all agree heartily with Rudolph
Dugdale, of North Adams.
"Dugdale took his wife to Boston
on a business trip. One fine day they
made an excursion into the country.
Leaving the trolley car at a quaint
village, they pursued their way on
foot. Soon they drew near a grade
crossing. There was no flagman—•
only a sign, ‘Look out for the locomo
tive.’
“Dugdale, who crossed the track
ahead of his wife, heard her shriek.
1-Ie turned quickly. A passenger train
had rounded the sharp curve and was
approaching the unhappy woman at
full speed.
“She stood still, beside herself
with terror. The train was almost
upon her. Surely she was lost!
“But no. Just Li time, with one
desperate leap, the woman, saved her
self. Then., in a dead faint, she fell
prostrate in the dusty road.
“ ‘These railroad trains! Always
behind time!’ said Dugdale bitterly.
“And he seated himself on the
grass to wait for his wif. to come to.”

New Fields For Technical Men.
Professions No Longer Overcrowded, Because There Are
More Professions Developed by Modern Activities.
Less is heard nowadays than there
once was of the cry that the profes
sions are overcrowded, but it appears
from the examination of statistics
that this may be due not so much to
the business expansion of the country,
which leads more men into mercan
tile paths, as to an increase in the
number of so-called professional oc
cupations.' The great individual
wealth of Americans of this genera
tion must be attributed in large meas
ure to the fact that in this day of ex
perts there are more kinds of expert
ness than tihere has ever been be
fore.
The doctor and the law:/er are in
as great demand as ever, of course,
but the engineer, the chemist and
the architect, dividing their work in
to a dozen 'departments, have taken
their si and alongside them among
the professionals. Not only are these
twentieth century specialists as im
portant to the community, but they
are also as highly rewarded. In fact,
they are fast moving ahead of their
brethren of the old-time “learned
professions” intrespect to this impor
tant, consideration.
Of ISS men belonging to one class
that, has been out of the oldest Amer
ican technical school for ten years
one-third are receiving salaries above
S3OOO a year, as a recent report
shows. Ten receive SIO,OOO or more,
and one has $35,000, though this last
case would be exceptional, of course,
in any profession or business. The
largest number, in a grouping accord
ing to each SSOO of income, are earn
ing between SISOO and S2OOO a year;
the average of the whole ISS is $3,-
082? and of the total number forty
five receive incomes above the aver
age.
It is doubtful if a generation ago,
at least, any similar body of gradu
ates of a “classical” institution could
have shown such well doing in its
first decade, and the record of these
men seems to be possible only be
cause there arc nowadays so many
and such varied occupations seeking
the man with technical training. Fur
thermore, what can hardly be said of
any ‘classical” college, every member
of each graduating class at the insti
tution mentioned for several years
ha: been engaged for a position be
fore he received his diploma. That
gives an encouraging start that
makes many things attainable.
Infinite Variety of Pursuits.
The variety of pursuits that require
the man with a technical education
seems almost infinite. There are the
civil engineers, who build railroads
and bridges and highways; electrical,
mining and telephone engineers; en
gineers who lay out water supply
systems, others who devise sewer sys
tems and still others who give their
attention to sanitation and collabor
ate with both and mechanical
engineers who are specialists in ma
chinery and its uses, not only in re
gard to planning and installing man
ufacturing plants, but as inventors,
too. Scarcely a factory of any kind
can get along without a chemist now
adays, while the sort of laboratory
to which these scientists were former
ly restricted needs their services more
than ever. The field of the industrial
chemist is almost boundless; he is
an important official in the sugar re
finary, the tannery, the textile mill,
the dye house, the soap factory, the
Terrapin and Muskrat.
By J. W. 1).
Those who pay large prices for so
called “terrapin” at hotels and res
taurants, to say nothing of sumptuous
private establishments furnished by
caterers in respect of their more pre
tentious banquets, may have heard
and been more or less distressed by
the rumor, now rapidly spreading,
that “terrapin” nowadays is often if
not generally represented in the flesh
by muskrats. Formerly “bob veal”
and chicken livers played a very im
portant part in the concoction of this
expensive dish. Cream sauce, sherry,
“slider” eggs and other condiments
made up tne masquerade. But the
muskrat to-day is supposed to con
tribute the real substance, and many
squeamish persons are thereby trou
bled in their minds.
I want to say, however, that there
is no real occasion for all these pangs
and apprehensions. It is true enough
that the rumors in question are
founded upon fact, but it is not true
that any one, even the most finicky
epicure, need balk at the muskrat in
its capacity as an edible. It is an
ugly name enough, no doubt, but as a
matter of fact the animal itself is the
very cleanest and most dainty feeder
in the whole kingdom. The muskrat
eats only shell fish, succulent roots
•and things of that kind. Moreover,
the muskrat invariably washes every
thing with the utmost care. It builds
two or three story houses for the ac
commodation of its winter commissa
riat, but always after the most in
dustrious cleansing of the food sup
ply to be stored therein. Indeed, if
we were notified in advance and made
acquainted with the real qualities of
the muskrat there would be no serious
revolt against the substitution. What
judicious persons complain of—and
with justice—is the attempt to de
ceive them and prey upon their inno
cent credulity. Muskrat is muskrat,
and a mighty good thing for those
who like it. But terrapin, prop*ly
cooked, is a very different matter.

used by the Saracens.
paper mill—in every place where any
of the modern wonders are per
formed.
Both the engineer and the chem
ist join hands with the architect in
the construction of modern buildings.
The work of the structural architect,
as he might be called, is supplement
ed nowadays by that of the landscape
architect, and since steel has taken
the place of wood in shipbuilding
marine architecture has taken a
prominent place among the profes
sions. These are the employments
which, in their multitude of ramifi
cations, have offered the opportuni
ties for success to the graduates of
technical schools.
It is curious how one side of a
profession has led to another, some
times quite different, in the exper
ence of these 185 men. For exam
ple, there is one who started out in
charge of experimental work for a
projectile company; two years later
he became assistant engineer of an
automobile concern, of which, at the
end of ten years, he is chief engin
eer. A classmate of his who became
assistant engineer for the canals on
the Merrimac River from which the
great mills at Lowell get their pow
er. is now superintendent of construc
tion with a concern that builds reser
voirs and water supply and power
systems. Another, having seen ser
vice in the United States Navy during
the Spanish war, is chief draftsman
in one of the great shipbuilding
yards where government vessels are
built.
How Xejv Profession Develop.
The way in which new professions
are developed from old ones and new
lines of work devised by men who
start out on one of the traditional
trails is sometimes curious. Here is
a man who began as a draftsman in
an architect’s office. He made a spe
cial study of fire-proofing and of the
problems involved in the protection
of modern buildings, became general
inspector of an insurance agency, and
so eventually found his place among
the fire underwriters. There is one
who started as a draftsman on pat
ent work, went through the engineer
ing departments of two or three big
electrical companies and street rail
ways and finally took up designing
and drafting textile machinery. A
third turned his technical knowledge
in quite a different direction, for he
entered the Patent Office at Washing
ton. studied law while there and is
to-day associated with a firm of pat
ent and trademark lawyers.
Electricity, water supply and indus
trial chemistry seem to have fur
nished the largest variety of opportu
nities. The electrical engineer not
not only plans and constructs light
ing systems and street railways, but
somewhat in the field of
mininl^p
Refineries, distilleries, drug and
chemical manufactories, gas plants,
mills of this, that and the other kind
have their quota of graduates who
specialized in chemistry.
Nor are they the stay at homes,
these technical school graduates, that
theif* brethren of the “classical” uni
versities are likely to be. The tenth
annual report of the class of ’93. of
the school from which this article
has taken its statistics, showed that
members were living in thirty-two
States and Territories.—New York

America’s Pride of the Seas
By EDGAR A 1.1. EX FORBES.
And now shall we go to some cross
roads of the ocean Gibraltar or
Suez, Singapore or Honolulu —and sit
by the gateway to watch for the smoke
of great freighters that fly the Ameri
can flag? Not yet. The great ships
that flap the Stars and Stripes in the
face of the salt wind carry cargoes of
ten-inch guns and projectiles that
crash through steel walls at a dis
tance that wearies the eye. These
are our pride of the sea—these and
our racing yachts and our lake
freighters—and no flag that floats
over whirlwinds of destruction has
such a long and unbroken record as
that of the American navy. A few
months ago, in Loudon, an auctioneer
sold a faded flag for an enormous
price. Why? Because it was one of
the rarest relics of the world —the
captured flag of an American ship-of
war. It brought a higher price than
the trumpet that sounded the charge
of the Light Brigade at Baiaklava.—
The World’s Work.
Sharks!
Contrary to what is generally sup
posed, the fully equipped modern
diver does not dread sharks in the
depths; though there are cases on rec
ord where these monsters have bitten
savagely at the air-pipe, causing a
serious leak and almost drowning the
man before he could be hauled up.
Sharks are, however, notoriously
timid, and all the experienced diver
has to do to frighten them away is
to open one of the air valves in his
dress and cause a stream of bubbles
to rise up all around him, whereupon
the "tiger of the deep” will make off
in abject terror.—St. Nicholas.
It has been frequently noted by
aeronauts that the barking of a dog
is always the last sound that they
hear from earth, and it has been dis
covered that this can be heard undet
favorable circumstances at an eleva
iion of four miles.

Government to Improve Their Condi

Germany is not pauperizing the

by well devised social reforms to im
prove the quality of workaday citizen
ship instead of degrading it. Efery
measure has been thoroughly thought
out before it has been tentatively in
troduced, and the co-ope||Maon of
trade unions and even of
has been secured in the practical ad
ministration of the insurance funds
and other institutions. Results and
tendencies have been calculated with
painstaking care; thrift is not dis
couraged by injustice to industrious
and prudent w r orkers; paupers and
parasites are not singled out for pub
lic charity and rewarded for improvi
dence; and the haves are not system
atically raided and plundered for the
benefit of the have-nots. Social re
form is as scientific in Germany as it
is thoughtless and reckless in Eng

abominates such a display? This
question has been raised by Mile. De

the business. First of all she ex
plained that this was too great a trial
to her modesty, and then she added
that the wearing of tights every even
ing made her positively ill. The Paris
Tribunal of Commerce having pro
nounced against her and ordered her
to pay a matter of 600 Of, she brought
the affair before the Court of Appeal,
fondly hoping that the war which was
being waged against indecent exhibi
tion on the stage would help her to
win her case, but the Court of Appeal
has also decided against Mile. De Vel
court. It holds that an artist who has
undertaken to appear in revues and
bullets such as are performed in es
tablishments like the Ambassadeurs
or the Alcazar cannot fairly regard
the wearing of tights as placing her
in an unforeseen position. As for the
injury to health, the court considers
that Mile. De Valcourt ought to have
thought of this when she contracted
the engagement, the more so as tin
medical certificate sets forth that sh
vv as already in a delicate state sewer;
years ago. So the judgment of th
Tribunal of Commerce is maintained

American Hotel in Japan,
In the Hochi Shimbun we find i
paragraph suggesting that the ques
tion of hotel accommodation, in view
of the great exhibition, is again at
tracting attention. There is talk of
a Japanese syndicate obtaining a
grant of 10,000 tsubo of land in the
vicinity of the Maple Club from the
Tokio municipality and there is also
talk of a foreign syndicate erecting
a hotel at Mukojima In conjunction
with an American hotel company at
a cost of 6,000,000 yen.
But as yet these and other projects
do not seem likely to be carried out.
The fact is that a hotel is not like
a tent, which can be set up and taken
down at will. The exhibition of 1913
is an exceptional event. It will cer
tainly attract an unusual number o!
visitors, but when these have taken
their departure things will return o
their normal condition and there wii!
be little more need of hotel accom
modations than there is today. That
consideration probably deters capital
ists from permanently sinking a
large sum to meet an ephemera! de
