CRUSADE AGAINST PIE.
New York Board of Education May
Substitute Corn Beef Hash. Etc.

New York. April 5.-The board of ed
ucation of this town is about to de-
clare war upon the pie. Superintend-
ent Jasper, after a prolonged investi-
cation, has made up his mind that the
pie habit is making rapid inroads upon
the health of the public school children
and recommends a plan to break it up.
MANY of the children who lunch at
the Schools said he, don't bring their
lunches from their homes, but, instead,
bring a few pennies to buy it with.
They are left, therefore, entirely to
their own judgment. Their judgment
runs to pie. They go out to the candy
stores and the bakeries and get a piece
of indigestible mince, custard, lemon
or pumpkin pie, and eat it usually
without any warm drink to stimulate
Digestion
The plan of the superintendent is to
grant rights for the establishment of
lunch counters in the public school
buildings, at which hot soups and
light, digestible articles of diet will be
sold at a nominal price. The board
will pass upon it at the next meeting
and will probably give lunch counter
privilege to somebody as an expert
ment at once.

COSTLY CATTLE SHIPMENT
First Load Leaves Galveston for Liv-
erpool in IS Year,.

Galveston, Tex, April 5.-The first
shipment of live cattle to Liverpool in
% years was made Saturday in the
British steamship Cuban. The ship
ment consisted of 37S head received
from ArdmOre, I. T., where they were
fattened.
Quite a number of cattIemen from all
parts of the state came here to witness
the shipment and they expressed salts
faction at the way the cattle were han
died and provisions made for their keep
on the passage. 1t is, however, doubt
full if this initial shipment will be fol-
lowed by others unless port charges
are reduced. The same number of cat
tie could have been shipped from New
Orleans at S1,7OO less than it cost to
ship them from here. One item of ex-
pense was $500 for water which in New
Orleans would have been free.
Besides the cattle the Cuban took
large quantity of spelter and cotton.

CATTLEMEN ALARMED.
However There is No Tariff on Mexi-
can Cattle Purchased Prior to April.

Washington, April congressman
Cochran and COwherd of Missouri and
Congressman Peters Of Kansas were
flooded with kilograms today from Mis-
souri, and Kansas cattlemen asking for
information in regard to the retroactive
clause of the tariff bill.
The correspondents said that nearly
all contracts made by Missourians and
Kansans for the shipment of Mexican
cattle were practically made in Janu-
ary, earnest money being deposited in
that month and shipment ordered as
soon as the Mexican cattle were ready
for importation. They fear that under
the retroactive clause they will be COM
pelled to pay the new tax of So a head.
Their fears are, however, groundiess,
as it is provided that all articles pur-
chased for import prior to April 1 shall
not be subject to the new rates of duty.

COSTLY APRIL FOOL JOKE.
Eighteen Young Women Expelled
From a Southern Institution.

Athens, Ga. April 5.-Eighteen young
women of the Lucy Cobb institute left
the institute grounds April 1 and start
ed in to enjoy an April FOOLS day. All
of them were bent on having a good
time. They went into Gillelend's cafe
and ordered cococolas. Then they left
the clerk with an April joke on his
hands. At Williams store they went
in and chatted and the clerk locked
the door on them. After a while they
came out on the streets and rambled
around the city considerably. Then
they got a tally-ho and took a ride.
Mrs. Liscomb, principal of the insti-
tuition, when she discovered their alb
sence, didn't send after them but sat
down and wrote letters to their par
ents, asking them to withdraw the
young women from the institution at
once. These letters were mailed this
afternoon. Mrs Liscomb was much
affected by the incident and said it con-
stituted the first breach of discipline of
so serious nature in the history of the
institute. The young women who
took part in the April fool joke will
leave for home today.

FASHION NOIES.
seasonable Items About Dress for
the Ladies'.

A curious caprice is that which was
followed out at recent wedding, when
the maid of honor wore dress of pink
chiffon trimmed with black velvet.
Black is seldom worn at weddings.
There is superstition that it is I'M
lucky, except for the quite elderly la
dies of the families, but latterly a dis
position has been shown to introduce
black velvet into wedding outfits, es-
pecially as trimming material
A stylish bit of headgear for miss
is of fine, thin felt made over a frame
and piped at the edge of the brim with
velvet. The trimming is of rolls of
bias velvet, arranged in puffs and loops
around the crown, a large cluster of
flowers at one side, and lace scarf,
caught at intervals around the edge of
the brim, complete the trimming.
An exquisitely pretty hat is made of
velvet. The brim is moderately wide.
rolled up at one side and completely
covered on the upper side with thick
ostrich plumes. Ends of the plumes
fall over each side of the brim at the
. back, and upright feathers are sup
ported against one side of the crown.
An autumn hat is of braid made of
felt. The brim is wide and slightly
rolled up at the sides; the trimming is
an enormous fan made of loops of vel
vet ribbon, tapping one against another.
On either side of this fan are thick,
heavy plumes that droop slightly over
the sides of the hat.
Specially handsome and becoming are
the dancing dresses of crepe-de-Chi
They are made up over silk and are
trimmed in the most elaborate fashion
with ribbons, ruffles, ruchings and lace.

AUTUMN JElClES.
Directions for Preparing Ounces,
Grapes and Wild PIums.

Grapes and Wild PIums.
The three autumn jellies advisable for
housekeepers to make are ounce, grape
and wild plum-the last named being
finer for game than any jelly made.
The method of making, after the juice
is procured, is the same for all. Measure
the Juice and boil for 20 minutes; add
a pint of graduated sugar which has
been heated in the oven for each pint
of the juice, and as soon as it is thor
oughly dissolved skim and fill into
tumblers, each having in it silver
spoon to- prevent cracking. Jelly so
made will never fail.
To procure the ounce juice just cover
the parings and cores left from the pre-
served fruit (from which all stems and
defective parts have been left ouD with
cold water; boil until soft, mash and
drain. An equal weight Of tart apples
may be added and cooked with the par
ings.
The point in grape jelly is to have the
grapes at their best stage, which is Just
when they are red, before turning pur-
pie. Ripe grapes, of course, can be
made into jelly, but it is not nearly so
fine a flavor or color. Stem the grapes,
add pint of water to six quarts, heat
elowly (mashing them), and boil gently
until all the juice is freed; strain. Wild
grapes make fine jelly. The wild
plums must be coveredwith cold water,
brought to boil, cooked to soft mass
and strained-Chicago Tribune.
