Her Glass TO Give a "Parioa supper"
Some Time In Jane.

Yesterday Miss Maria Parloa gave the
twelfth and last lesson Of the series at
Metropolitan hall. Tomato soup was the
drst dish finished n when it was done
every one who had a spoon passed judg-
ment upon it. Those who forgot to take
a spoon or had no spoon to take judged
of the soups excellence by tho approving
smiles Of others.
Ali Of the lesson that did not relate to
tomato soup was devoted TO salads. Miss
ParlOa says that nothing is more out or
place than a carpeting Of hard boiled eggs,
boiled bees and the like spread over a
delicate salad. 1t is unesthetic certainly
and perhaps indigestible. A salad
should have n fresh, crisp look when it
comes to the table, and the garnishes
should be Of the lightest and freshest
kind. Ii the m~ayOnnaise dressing ls used,
garnish with the delicate white leaves of
celery or the small leaves from the heart
Of the lettuce, and these should be
arranged in a wreath at the base, With a
few tufts here and there on the salad. Let
the garnish be a sort OF halo around the
salad, for while the contrast between q
creamy dressing and the light green is
not as great as between the colors OF a
Whistler picture, the effect is quite as
pleasing TO the multitude. In arranging
a salad on a dish or in a bow handle as
gently as you would a markeG-dOwn-tO
$4,000 vase. Never use pressure to get
into form, that is salads.
When "A jelly border is used with salads
the guests should be helped to some of
the border. The proper times to serve
vegetable salads are at tea and lunch
ana with or after the meats at dinner.
The hot cabbage, red cabbage, celery,
cucumber and potato salads are partic-
ularly appropriate tor serving with
meats. Lettuce salad with the French
dressing, ant the dressed celery, are the
best to serve after the meats. such rich
salads as chicken, lobster or salmon are
out of place at a company dinner. They
do best served tor suppers and lunches.
The success OF a salad, after the dressing
is made, depends upon keeping the let
tuce or celery crisp, and not adding
meat or dressing to it until the time for
serving.
Miss Parloa made shrimp, vegetable,
potato, and chicken salads.
During the course Miss ParlOahas made
about 70 different dishes. The custards.
%jellies, rice borders, and croquettes we're
the most popular. The lady managers OF
the Industrial Home, under whose auspi-
ces the course was given, hoped that the
financial success would be a little greater.
Next month, however. or perhaps in June,
they will hold a ''Parioa supper" so
named in honor of the lady who has been
teaching them cookery. Every lady who
has attended the lessons has promised to
contribute some dish which she learned
now TO make or how to improve upon from
Miss Parloa.
Tomorrow Miss Parloa will leave for
Florida to visit friends there, and thence
she Will return TO her home in New
York.

The Passover Season.

The MORNING NEWS is indebted to one
Of it's Jewish friends, an old and esteemed
citizen, for a Passover remembrancer of
u%nleavened bread, and a p~alatable repre-
s%entation of brick and mortar. The
bread is a reminder OF the sufferings and
endurance OF the Israelites in their jour
ney through the wilderness after their es-
cape from Egyptian bondage, and the rep
resentation of brick and mortar the hard
ships they endured during their captiv-
ity. The Bible says: Sand thev set over
them task-masters to af1ict them with
heavy burdens, and they built for Pha-
raoh store cities. even Pithom and Re-
mses, and they laid heavy bon dage upon
us; and the Egyptians made the children
of Israel to serve with vigOr."

LAYING TIE CoNCRErE.

The Paving OF BrOughtOn Street to be
Completed Within the Contract Time.
The contractors who are paving Brough-
ton street have the concrete base laid on
the south side OF the street from West
Broad nearly to Barnard. They are
grading and laying the concrete only on
one side of the street car tracks now. The
Coast Line Company is putting in new
ties and their track is torn up west of
Barnard street.
Mr.. Scharf, the contractor, who is SUI
p~erintending the work of paving, thinks
now that the job will be completed by the
time specified. The force here is to be in
creased and work will be pushed as rap
idly as possible, he says, as bis company
has just contracted to do about three
times as much paving for Cincinnati as Is
to be done IN %BroughtOn street, and they
have two other contracts on hand.
The concrete which is being laid now is
a mixture of broken trap rock and ce-
ment. The rock is brought from New
York. That which is being used now was
shipped by the Ocean Steamship COmpa-
ny. Three sailing vessels loaded with the
rock are bound here.
A mixing yard for the preparation of
the asphalt is being ntted up along the
canal on the west side of the city. The
contractors are going ahead paving the
street right up to the rails OF the Coast
Line Company. The ordinance authoriz-
ing the paving Of the street requires the
railway company to pave between its
tracks and three feet on both sides. The
company declines to do any paving eX-
cept between its tracks, and a big suit is
almost sure TO grow out of the matter.
At the last meeting Of Council the Mayor
was instructed to find out from the com
pany definitely whether it will dispute
the payment for the three feet on both
sides of its track. A paper from the com
pany in reply is expected to be laid before

accompanying the ACKNOWLEDGMENT by an
Interesting discussion on the functions
Rnd diseases to which each organ was
liable.
lit was pleasant to note that in advis-
Ing treatment the lecturer strongly adj
Nised the employment of the family physl-
clan. He cautioned young men p%articu-
Iarly against trying to doctor themselves
with medicine that had proved e~ficacious
IN the case OF a companion. His entire
tone and bearing was that of an earnest
Ind legitimate scientist, and made a most
favorable impression on the large num-
Der OF professional and business men
present.
"As at the previous lectures, the dog
with the silver stomach excited much
turprise on the part of the audience. 1t
was exhibited at the close of the lecture,
and a committee from one of the boxes
btepped out on the stage and made a close

its centre q tube about ~One-Quarter of an
inch in diameter. The Orifce of the tube
is stopped with a cork, which is removed
when the animal has filled its stomach
with milk. DR.. Wilbur explained that
this condition of affairs was brought about
by an operation for cancer; the plan Of
inserting a plate suggested itself, and
1hen. to watch the progress of healing. a
tube was inserted. The removal of the
Fork causes the dog no pain, and the only
Inconvenience his canineship experiences

4 Base Hits Made OFF His Deliv-

Other Southern League Games.
Savannah defeated Memphis yesterday
by a score OF 7 to 3. The crowd at the
ball grounds was not large. The obser-
Yances OF Passover season and Holy Week
kept many away. The game was one Of
the prettIest that has been played this
season. Savannah presented O'Day In
the box with Stockwell to catch, and the
visitors put up Black supported by Fus-
selbach.
ODay's pitching was the feature Of the
game. 1t was really the first game he has
pltched this season. He was hit but four
times and struck Out nine men-three IN
succession In the first inning, two in the
uitn, TWO in the seventh and two again in
the eighth. For four innings but a single
safe hit was made off his delivery. In
the second inning O'Leary scored the
nrst and the only run but two for the Wis
ltors. In the ninth inning he again scored
making two runs. Sneed followed and
counted on a passed ball. He would have
been u a Fusselbach not stood on the
home plate making 1t impossible for
O'Day to reach the bali thrown in from
the catcher's fence by StOckwelI.
O'Day has a lightning delivery.
HIS helding in the box Is equally as fine
as his pitching, and he has developed as
one OF the hardest hitters in The team.
His two-bagger into right field in the
ninth inning was really a three-base hit,
but owing 10 his inability to run he only
reached second. Stockwell showed up
we'll behind the bat.
Field played a faultless game at first
and batted Black for a beautiful twO-
Dagger into centre field. STREETS error at
second IN the ninth inning cost a run.
