Restaurant Like a Stockade. At comparatively little expense a California. restaurant keeper has de. signed A novel eating place that com- hines uniqua decoration with unusual features in equipment, says the Pop- ular Mechanics Magazine. The in- terior resembles a stockade of frontier days. The walls are faced with wooden slabs, from which the bark has not heen removed, and the back- ground is decorated with murals of mountain _peaks. Patrons sit on leather-cushioned kegs at tahlea with buggy whoels for tops, each accom- modating four guests. The hubs are converted into holders for sait and pepper shakers, sugar bowl and nap- kins, while traye are inse between knoba on the spokes. Thewe trays are shaped like huge pieces of ple, a0 that they will fit in the sactions allotted. The restaurant is conducted on the self-nervice plan and is further deco- rated with appropriate signe and relica of Western life, sauch an picks and shovels and other minera' tools. ‘The deslgn of the furniture has heen patented.
