"And is that a Huh kettle, too?" asked
a man of a halcsmaii at Tiffany's.
"No, that is to cook asparagus in.
"Ami what id its price?"
"A hundred and ton dollars.
Tho latest fancy in ex.-nhivo appoint
ments for tho homes of itullionaircs is
bimetallic cooking utensils. They aro
made of heavy copper, with cemented
and welded linings of one-sixteenth inch
ntcrli rig silver. Tho idea is Parisian, and
tho vessel themselvcs-nro inijiorted from
France. They are still com punitive nov
elties in I'ari-t, wluru tho hobhy has
gono to bucii an extent that no fashion-
nblu kitchen is considereii properly fur
nished unhfid tho food prepared there
need touch no metal but silver from tho
time it arrives from tho market until it
becomes a part of tho family anatomy.
PROBABLE CUSTOMERS.
Every hobby claims a reasonable ex
cuse for existence. It is alleged in this
case that food cooked in copper or brass
becomes iiermoated with verdigris, which
is rank iNison, ami that iron kettles are
only w a littlo hs injurious. Against
i'apannetl and jiorcelain lined pots and
ettles is tirgdl tho assertion that the
lining cracks or wears away impercepti
bly, leaving Rjotj where tho iisonous
metal touches the fxd in prcxes of cook
ing. A substantial lining of a harmless
metal like silve r renders the ot abso
lutely eafe. Hence -Parisian jH-oplo who

a kitchen s!ii:i , and give it an air of good
appointment.
Uut we do expect f.omo hotel trade.
There v. ill f;::ii!v hotels which make
a point of perfect cuidnc and ierfcct ap
pointments. We will also probably fur
nish a few of tiie best seashoro hotels
and doubtless a number of health resorts
and hotels in the south, such as Mr.
Flagler's Florid. i pi. ice. for instance. You
see the utensil ; have tho further advan
tage of durability. They are expensively
and heavily made, and will wear practt
cally forever."
what thi: eealties cost.
The uton'-s did not differ in shape
from those ordinarily seen in modern
kitchens. I:i fact, th-j uncouth peculi
arities of !. ilche.n vessels were a littlo ex
aggerated. So::i?(if t ! it pieces were ex
ceedingly heavy. a:id t!ie larger ones had
turned imisof hand beaten metal. There
1 were v.ry size and variety of casse
roles, or stowing dishes. The smallest,
without a lid. an 1 whicli held, perhaps,
a cupful, was marked 50,
"To Ixiil an egg cr heat a cupful of
consomme for a single light lunch," ex
plained tho salesman. Tho ordinary
sized stewing dish, such as a moderate
family might require, was marked '20.
The largest size co;i3 $12.
"Now, this ti.di kettle," said the sales
man, wouM boil, I should say, a three
pound cod. This big strainer and lifter,
which rests on tho Ixrtom daring the
roiling, id of solid sterling silver, like
tho lining. The. co-t of tho kettle is 83.
We expect to sell a great many of them.
This larger sii.o, for a email salmon,
say, costs $1 13. That asparagus kettle
at 110 of course can bo used for certain
other vegetables besides. Hero aro om
elet pans of various sizes. This one
for a two egg omelet costs $.oQ. This
Jargest sizo is They range between,5
according io sizel Hero are frying pans
jit 9 and 10.50. They aro for the chef
to toss cakes in; playthings, you know."
Boiling kettles were of all sizes. A good
large one, corresponding in size to our
pandmothers 1 iron ertlc3, was
inarmed !jo. One much smaller and
higher cost $30.
"Nice fvr boiling calves' heads when
you don't want to break them," said the
fealesman.
Jelly "tins" in various shapes were 515
each, and small "French" cofTee boilers
were marked C 17. Pudding and maca
roni plates cost from $7 up, and samo
vars, for heating watjr in the kitchen
around a charcoal lire, were marked ?G5.
Pitchers for heating ruiik and water on
the range were marked from $3 to 513,
iind milk pails to pass between milkman
and kitchen were the same price. New

Oxidized Hair.
Ladies, it would seem, no longer dye
their hair. O, dear no! They never
think of doing anything so crude as that.
"What they do nov.-,-if you please, when
they wish to give to their locks that
bright golden or bronzy tint which is so
fashionable, is to "oxidiza it." I am
sure tho fair sex will thank their faithful
"friend "Myra" for teaching them that
convenient term. Ilair dye will, of
' course, never bo mentioned more, for all
a lady who wishes her hair to be "safely
and imperceptibly lightened and bright
ened" (to use Myra's own comforting
words) is to oxidize it with the aid of
pure "peroxide of hydrogen." Even the
most punctilious of ladies,.who shudders
at the notion of dyeing her hair, cai
hardly object to "peroxide of hydrogen
ize" it. Why, it Bounds as innocent and
as proper as taking a. chamomile pill or
rubbing one's ankles with arnica. Lon
