when my children get to the proper
age" said the man who was smoking q
briar pipe, II intend to have them
taken In hand by some competent per-
son and given thorough instruction
In the art of eating, and, further, in
the science of finding out what to eat
and ordering"
What do you mean?" inquired the
man who sat next to him.
81 mean this: The average American
citizen is woefully deficient in knowl-
edge of what he can get to eat. He
dinner The great majority OF peo-
pie in this country are brought up
frugally at home and do not know any
thing but the commonest dishes. The
consequence Is that when u man goes
into a restaurant for dinner or to a
hotel he gazes helplessly ht the bill of
fare and sees many things of which he
does not know the component parts.
He dares not order anything that he is
not sure of, for fear of ridicule, and he
falls back on roast beef and mashed
potatoes The fact is, he doesn't know
anything but roast beef. Same way
In a restaurant. When waiter shoves
a bill of fare under mans nose nine
times ont of ten he will look it over
and then say: Gimme steak and
some fried potatoes Now, the man
who does this day fter day doesn't
want roast beef lie is sick unto death
of steaks and fried potatoes. He
loathes ham and eggs, and yet he keeps
on ordering them in dreary and dys-
peptic succession, because he doesn't
know any better and he is too pround
to confess his ignorance. It's that way
with me, and III bet it's that way with
most Of you. am going to relieve my
children of all these things. They're
going to know what's what when it
comes to eating. No roast-beef domi-
nationr shall be my household slogan. =
And the rest Of the party, says the
Buffalo Express, thought it over and
concluded that he was pretty nearly

turned to see the girl lying in drag

the act of scrambling up alongside of
her.
An hour afterwards the PAIR of wan
derers reached their caravan again,
patted the browsing horse and went In
side TO change.
Silence was well maintained for
awhile, each being occupied with his
own proper thoughts. Then Duncan
spoke:

''Of course not, and besides-it didnr
much matter"
"Eh, what's that?"

her out, Duncan, that's all Heigho-

the water, and when the brother and
all that crowd of domestics turned up
from the house and saw us pumping up

breath into her again nothing was
asked as to how the thing was done.
They thanked the pair of us collective
ly and trooped off.

CAPE ELIZABETH.

g Friday, the day before adjourned town
meeting, the reconstructed superintend-
ing school committee met and organized
under the new school law. Two of the
board are holdovers Mr.. Evans and Mr..
Hill, their terms being limited to one
and two years respectively. Dr.. Rogers
was elected by the town for a three
years term.
The other mem bers, DR.. Brown, Mr..
Over, MIR. Pickett and Mr.. Miller. were
chosen by lot, the two first for one and
two years respectively, the two latter for
three years. Mr.. Bill was chosen
supervisor.
Mr.. Evans, who is serving his last year
of three years term, will probably re-
sign soon, as he is expecting call to
teach in Massachusetts. He says a
school supervisorship awaits his accept
ance in either of two small Massachusetts
cities.
In round numbers the town voted
$54. 900 in appropriations at its late town
meeting.
Wore than $40, 900 of last years taxes
remain unpaid. 1t is safe to say that
several thousand of these uncollected
taxes would have been paid Monday and
Saturday, town meeting days, but Tor
the fact that the tax collector occupied
the moderaGor's chair.
. Many citizens of the town visit the
town house only town meeting days, and
would gladly pay their taxes then if
chance were given them. Dual office
holding in towns should be abolished.
Mr. Hanna has been somewhat crltl-
ciZed for the apparent negative manner
in which he introduced the artlcle.and
made the motion calling for action on
the soldiers monument appropriation.
He defends his position on the ground of
wishing to show that the soldiers are
not actuated by selfish motives as is so
often charged The most of them are
large tax payers themselves, and they
are in sympathy with that class of citi-
zens. Mr. Hanna's. veteran comrades
now see that his method of making the
motion as soldier, was wise one. =
Two young men of this town, Fred
Wormell and George S. Woodbury., had a
pretty close call Saturday morning.
Tney were driving from the city via the
overhead bridge with load of poultry,
when their horse took fright and run
away and in turning the sharp corner
near the draw bridge, overturnd the
wagon, scattering the contents in all
directions Both young men were taken
up bruised and bleeding, but without
any broken bones. The horse escaped
with some cuts and scratches, but the
vehicle was redueed to klndl1ng wood.

Sewerage.
Sewerage becomes, through the intro
duction of water and a rapid growth i'm

they be continued in anticipation of frl-
ture requirements.

Meilin's Food.

The last mum Der of the Pharmaceuti-
annual dinner of the DoliberGoodale
company, the proprietors of Mellin's
Food, to their heads of departments and
travelling men, which was given on the
9th of Decem Der, 1893, at the Parker
house, Boston.
1t was a most natural and happy home
coming, and seemed almost like family
gathering, as the freedom of discussion,
the quick response to Mr.. Doliber's re-
quest for suggestions, and the enthu-
siasm shown by all present, told of the
cordial relations and perfect confidence
existing between the travellers and the
manager of the company.
At the dinner Mr.. Doliber, the presi-
dent, had the head of the ia BILE; the vice
president. Mr.. Cheney, the foot; Mr..
Delano, the right, and Mr.. Hazeltine the
left centre. Messrs. Cox, Snyder, Jones,
en-. Phelps, Robbins, Larrabee, Stone
and Goodwin completed the circle.
After the merrimenJ which always
accompanies a good dinner, speeches
were in order, and as the Melin's Food
men are all good takers and the dinner
had been success, there was no back
wardness in coming forward to carry out
this part OF the programme. The last
hour was devoted to wholly unexpected
and successful demonstration of the
Intent musical ability of the party.
Perhaps one secret of the steady
growth and increasing prosperity of the
Mellln's Food business is to be dis
covered in this incident. Mr.. Doiiber' s
breadth of view, honesty of purpose and
perfect sincerity, which make him will
ing to listen TO any and all suggestions
that even the youngest and least ex-
lierienced of his employees might offer,
have no doubt kept the entire force Of
workers in intelligent harmony with
those whose responsibility it is to direct
them, and in this way better and larger
and more permanent results have been
secured

Fire Department.

The fire department, being of great
and possibly of vital Importance to the
city's interests, requires men of charac-
ter and ability for its management, and
necessitates your particular attention.
For the past year we have been especial
lv favored in not sustaining heavy losses
by fire. The experience of many cities
throughout the country should be a
lesson to ours. Therefore the increase
of the facilities of the department can
hardly be too marked, for the protection
of property. In this connection L would
cali your attention to the recommended
tions of the chief engineer.
Streets, Bridges and Sidewalks.
This department necessarily calls for a
large expenditure of money from year to
year. The appropriation for the last
year, including snow bills, was $40,
Owing to the displacement of the road
beds of many of onr main thorougfares
by the laying OF sewer pipes, it will be
necessary to make a much larger appro-
pration for the ensuing year.
1t is hoped that cur citizens will EN-
brace the opportunity offered by our
sidewalk ordinance so that, together
with a iudicious expenditure of money
for the thorough repairs of our high
ways, they will afford an opportunity TO
