THE CHAFING DISH. Antiquity of This Now Popular Cook ing Utensil. Tbe cbaOug dish ia not a utensil of modern, invention. Looking backward over history's pages, many allusions are made to Its use. Among the ruins of Pompeii bave been found bronze chafing dishes of unique designs, and Mommsen, In his "Romlsche Geschie li te," asserts that in those days a well wrought cooking machine came to cost more than an estate. ' Louis XV. took mnch delight in cooking and, accord., ing to Goncourt, often amused himself by making "quintessential stews in sil ver pans." The palate of Louis SIV. was often tickled by "piping hot dish es brought in on a chafing dish." Napoleon Bonaparte, when laying down the affairs of war and enjoying home life for a short period, cooked In a silver chafing dish an omelet for the enjoyment of tbe empress and himself. Mme. Itecamler, the beautiful and in tellectual society leader, used the chaf ing dish, while Mme. de Stael, the greatest woman In literary history, when exiled from her beloved France took with her tbe'chaflng dish. We of today are doing much to keep alive the true spirit of hospitality by bringing the chafing dish into popular use. Woman's Home Companion. PETRIFIED BODIES. Their Organic Materials Are Replaced by Mineral Particles. In answer to tbe query, "Do biologists or chemists know tbe process of petri faction or the reason why a human body or a plant in some cases takes tbe course of petrifaction Instead of de caying?" we would say: The process is at first one of decay slowly and replacement particle by particle of the organic material by in organic or mineral. Water holding sili ceous minerals in saturated solution Is. necessary, the flesh or plant disorga nizes, the carbon, oxygen, nitrogen, hydrogen compounds disintegrate and escape, and the minute portion is re placed by tbe mineral particle, tbe shape or form of the decaying body re maining intact Now, tbe carbon In the bodies does not change to siliceous minerals. It disappears in its combination with the other elements. No element changes Into another; this would be mutation. Replacement Is tbe word used bere. Thus analyze a petrified man or plant no organic matter can be found only Inorganic, and this weighs far more than did the animated body. Tbe en tire process of petrification Is a mys terious work of nature. New York American. Authors and Novel Reading. The objection professed by many wo men novelists against reading fiction may be based on the same grounds as those raised by the little boy at the tea party who refused to ent Jam "cos father makes it" Some distinguished writers in other fields have been vo racious novel renders. Concerning the author of the standard work on the British constitution Grant Duff re lates: "Bngeuot like Sir Henry Maine, Sir James Stephen and Sir George Vennbles. bad a perfect passion for novels and would read and reread them with the greatest delight De bad been reading 'Rob Roy' half an hour before his death." Tennyson, too, according to William Alllngham, was "a constant novel reader. 'What I dis like,' be once said, 'is beginning a new novel. I should like to have a novel to read in a million volumes, to last me my life.'" London Standard The Dead Watch Ticked. A strong box containing family rec ords and heirlooms was opened a few days ago to examine an old manu script Tbe box had not been disturbed for several years, and tbe women who had taken It Into a private room were surprised when tbey removed an old fashioned open face wntcb from Us renting place to bear it tick loudly. This to them wns evidence that tbe box bad been tampered with.
