WHEN THE CZAR DINBS..
HOW HIS MAJESTY IS PROTECTED 'AGAINST.
POISON.
The Kitchens in which the food of the "great white Ciar" is prepared are extraordinary, says an exchange, for the elaborate precautions: 'taken to prevent any of his household tamper. ing with his food: The kitchens themselves present the appearance of a strong-room of a' modern back, guarded by a regiment of sof diers, rather than the culinary Department of a "Royal Palace."
Even the chef-M. Eugend Kratz who presides over the Imperial kitchens, enjoying a salary of £4,000 a year, and social privileges. equal to those of a General of the Russian. army, is not to be envied in his peculiar posi»
tion:
...
As soon as dinner or luncheon is ready to be. placed in the Emperor's table, a very elaborale system of "tasting" has to be gone through; and when the Czar is in residence at Petorkof, not only M. Kratz himself, but also his under- chefs and certain high officials of the Imperial army are called in to taste every dish that goas, to the Emperor's table, after which experiment a reasonable time is permitted to elapse, to see whether or not the "Lasters" are poisoned. This curious survival of othef days comes from the time of Ivan the Terrible.
When the meals prepared for His Majesty - are served, M. Kratz himself begins to taste; and after the strange "poisoning" interval -Fan elapsed the dishes are placed in an electric. elevator with a closed shaft, into which military officials are locked, and up goes the life to the ante-chamber of the Imperial dining room. Here again the Major on duty samples the dishes under the eyes of the Czar, after which the Imperial family sit down to dinner,
No dish ever sérved on the Czaritable is"
permitted access to the dining room saya? through the elevator shaft, Thus the food can in no way be tampered with save by the cocks themselves and the military officials on duty. It has been said by an authority that, the Im périal family of Russia in bygone times sat down to their meals in a dining room constructed of cast iron and steel, for all the world like a bank vault, This, however, is not the case now; bat. elaborate precautions still baye to be made to 'prevent the enemies, of the Czar carrying out their plots against his life,
