In tlio European cities thero aio res ItaurantB which havo existed prosper ously for yearH and nuver Increased their caimcity for guests by a single square foot. It is moro customary in IPnris for a proprietor who finds huc cess in ono place to open another in nome other part of tho town. Tlieio are, for instance, restnurants in the Champs Klysecs which aro con ducted by proprietors with places else wheio in the city. Thus it Is possible to keep Eonio intimacy of atmospheio In them. Hut tho demands on the ie sources of these places are so smalt that they aro not to be compared In any way with the New York restnu rants. If any restaurants havo tho samo problems to meet that faco the Now York managers they aro those of tho largo hotels In London. Ono reason why Now York restau rants lmvo become so Inrgo Is thb re cent union of tho hotel and tho res taurant, Formoily hotel rcstnurnnts weiu comparatively little patronized by any save tho hotel guests. Tho old Urunswlck a epinrtor of a century ago tried to rival Dolmoulco's, which used to stand opposite, and made somo sort of stab at it in tho beginning, but later It was only the restaurant that survived. I wus with tho opening of tho Waldorf-Astoria that New Yorkers got into tho habit of going to a hotel only to use tho restaurant. Tho recent erection of so ninny now nnd hand somo hotels with tho effort nlways to attract outside customers has nindo dining in hotels quite as usual as eat ing in a restaurant. So tho possi bility of a quiet nnd unmusical meal seems moro remote than over.

"A lnrgo portion ot tho population of Kills county Is made up of Russians who have no working knowledge of our hanking system or disposition to learn any thing about It," said a Hayes City banker. "They do their own banking. Their strong box consists of n tin can or an old boot nnd their safety deposit vault Is a holo under tho barn or in the cel lar. When they sell something they demand tho cash and hldo It. "It Is a conservative estimate to say that mora than halt of tho actual cash ot this county Is hidden," ho con tinued. "Our deposits como chiefly from tho Americans. Comparatively few of tho Russians do any banking business. We havo conducted a cam paign among them for years, and somo of tho younger element nro be ginning to patronlzo us. Hut tho old timers aro still holding off and prob ably will conttnuo tc do so for the rest of their lives." Pet Imps 70 per cent, of the people of Ellis county aro Russians. Moro strictly speaking, they are German Russians. Originally they went from Germany to Russia, and later came here. They aro a Bturdy, honest poo pie, Industrious, very religious nnd great monejvsavers. As debt payers they are celebrated. They never lildo behind tho statuto of limitation. If a Russian buys a horse or a faun he Is just as suro to pny for it as ho lives. Mortgages aro only used as a protec tion In enso of death. Ninety per cont. of tho Russians own their own farms, and they woik them to tho very limit. Wheat Is tho principal crop of this section nnd the Russlnns arc the great wheat raisers of tho bread belt. No sooner do they reap ono crop thnn they go to plowing for the next. It is a common thing right now to see ono brunch or a fam ily running a header and another the plows In the same Held.

Tho only church nursery in the United Stutos was opened hero for babies tho other Sun day when the Centenary Molhodlst Episcopal church, reconstructed dur ing the summer, held its first service. Thero was a maid in chnigo, blocks, books of rhyme and a variety of toys provided. Rov. E. L. Waldorf, tho pastor, said: "Crying babies will raise voices without tho usual effect at a service. The walls of the room will bp sound proof. Lullabies will be sung nnd no ono will be disturbed. Mothers may leavo thu children In n cosy crib or cuddled up on a couch with deep cor ners and occupying rocKing cnuirs, just outside tho double doors at the rear of the balcony. So long ns tho babies aro quiet they may stay with their mothers." When plans for tho reconstruction of tho church woio bclr.fc considered a suggestion for u nursery was made, its adoption camo unanimously.
