*HE GERMAN AUTOMATIC DISPENSER OF CUICK REPASTS.

The Slot Vrinciple Applied to Restaurants,

No Waiters to Fee or to Swear At—A

Good Lunch Basket Scheme Used cn

Cerman Hailways.

Germany is showing the rest of the world bow ‘‘quick lunches’’ may be served without employing waiters and how « hungry person may have just what he wants to eat and drink ata <xed price without paying an extra tip and without feeling himself called upon, no matter how particular he may be, to find fault with the service unless he is satisfied to make his complaint to a mechanical contrivance, which differs fom some waiters in so far that it makes no pretense of caring 4 rap or the turn of a handle how uncomfortable ot how badly served the hungry one may be. The contrivance, which has been perfected by the Quisicana compa- ny of Berlin is so perfectly arranged that even those people who object to the manner of washing the cups and plates in the ordinary quich: lunch places are deprived of their cause for complaint because every custcmer may supervise the cleaning of the cup which he will use, and if he is soinclined may uttend to the duty himself.

The quick lunch stands are providea with automa‘ic spraying nozzles for cleaning glass and china and insure per- fect cleanliness. No rubber tubing is used te conduct liquids, silver tubes be- ing employed for the purpose. The serv- ice is run by clockwork.

In place of the ordinary counter there are sets of ornamental cabinets ranged along one side of the room, which have a shelf projecting at a convenient height, upon which glasses and cups are’ placed. Above these there are faucets and anumber of slots to receive the coin. When the customer has decided what sort of a drink he wants—coffee, tea, chocolate or beef tea—he drops the coin in the slot and receives the regula- tion quantity. The cold drinks—lemon-

ade, soda water and all sorts of ‘‘soft..

drinks’’—are kept in glass vessels and the hot drinks in nickel tanks surround- ed by a hot water bath, which is heated by gas.

But the establishment is hot limited te drinks, and the bungry man may also be served. Sandwiches and cakes are kept in a glass stand, circular in shape, which is eovered with a glass bell. Each bell contains about a dozen sandwiches, and the purchaser indicates his choice by dropping his coin into the slot opposite the kind he wants, and the stand revolyes sufficiently to bring his sandwich to an opening where he may take it out. Stands similarly arranged provide het beef, chicken and other meate.

The quick lunch is nothing new in Germany, though, as any person will know who has made a railroad trip be- tween Berlin and Copenhagen by way of Warnemunde. A man who made the trip several years ago said: .

‘We were coming back from Den- mark and stopped at a little place on the German frontier at about noon. Everybody was hungry, and the Ameri- can contingent was disappointed when the conductor shouted, ‘Funf minuten aufenthalt.’ We knew that five minutes would not give us time for a meal, and we lost no time in leaving the coach as soon as it was unlocked. Everybody rushed pellmell into the restaurant, where a lot of wire things that looked like old fashioned rattraps were piled ap. Everybody grabbed a trap, paid abort 25 cents for it aud rushed back to the train.

“What leoked like a trap was really an ingeniously contrived lunch basket having three compartments. In one was an ample portion of chicken; the next contained sandwiches, and the third a dainty piece of pastry and a small bot- tle of wine, over which a little driuk- ing glass was fastened. Little salt and pepper shakers and a knife and fork Were fastened to the sides, and the whole was covered with a Japanese pa- per napkin. The fact that we were all hungry and that the whole arrangement Was unexpected may have had some- thing to do with our enjoyment of the luncheon, but it was agreed that it was the most perfect of the ‘quick’ kind we had ever seen. The bottom of the wire lanch basket was covered with a piece of glass, and a paper beneath it bore the teqaest in German, French and English ae the empty basket with the train-

terfeit corns would make a changé trom our present system to the automatic an expensive experiment. As to the quick lunches for travelers on railway trains, much can be done, and no one knows that better than the traveler who is sompelled to make a meal of what he san buy from the dealer in pies, apples and sandwiches who hawks his wares jhrough the cars. The buffet and the dining cars have reduced his field of operation, but he is still in business, selling the same old sandwiches to the seople. who cannot afford to ride in drawing room cars, and to them the quick lunch on the plan of those which they have in some parts of Europe would be a blessing.’’—New York Tribune.

A movement has been started to effect the consolidation of Boston’s suburbs with the Hub. If the-outlying munici- palities were annexed, greater Boston would have a population of about 1,000, - 000.

Fair haired people are becoming less numerous than*formerly. The aucient Jews were a fair haired race. Now they are, with few exceptions, dark. So it is in a lesser degree with the Irish, among whom 150 years agoa dark haired person was almost unknown.

An English paper recently found it profitable to discuss the question, ‘*Ought a lawyer to talk business (mean- ing his clients’ business) with his wife or daughter?’’ It is only just to the English public to add that no answer in the affirmative was printed.

It Did Not Matter.

| The man in the case was old and pro

foundly in love with a young, beautiful and fashionable woman.

Whether she loved him in return is not said, It is enough to say tbat she permitted his attentions—nay, more, she encouraged them.

In fact, they were to be married.

Is it necessary to state that he wai rich?

‘*My darling,’’ he said to her as he clasped a magnificent bracelet of dia monds about her wrist, ‘‘I love you more than I can tell you.’’

He spoke the truth, too, for it is easy for an old man to love a young and beautiful woman who smiles upon him.

‘**Oh,’’ she laughed as she tapped him playfully on his bald hezd, ‘‘you don’! have to! Money talks, you know.”’

And the old man thought it was sc very bright and funny that he stooped

WHAT WOMEN WEAR.

The fad for making hunting waist- coats in canvas is superseded by another for crocheting them in wool and silk.

Muffs of velvet and fur combined are finished at the opening with a ruche of finely plaited glace silk or lace which has been stiffened a little in the plait- ing.

White satin stock collars are worn by Frenchwomen with silk and velvet shirt waists in place of the linen ones so com- mon here, and satin of any color may be substituted for the white.

The white silk and satin bodice is a pretty feature of the new cloth gowns, which are made of cloth, forcalling and theater wear. It is either full or plain with a short velvet bolero over it.

Black handkerchiefs are announced as the latest craze in Paris. A pleasing modification of this fancy is a white handkerchief with a black border em- broidered with a wreath of tiny flowers.

High necked bodices are quite the cor- rect thing for evening wear, a most ac- ceptable fashion in cold weather. They must be well made and very elaborate, of course, but that\is the rule in all gowns just at the mdment.

Collar bands, with high standing ruffs and battlement shaped pieces wir- ed to stand out well from the neck, have become a settled fashion, but a novelty is the use of violets to cover the tabs aud other small artificial flowers arrang- ed in a wreath around the edge.—New York Sun.

Yes, oh yea, they come, they go, the people come and the bargains go, lots left for others. Come and get carpets, clothing,

_ dress goods, etc.—Prowre Bros.
