Boston Children Are Not Allowed to

NJ school.

Pie, that good, oldfashioned New
England staple, is doomed, If modern
educators have their way, says the New
York Press. In the public schools of
Boston instructors keep watch and
ward not only over the mental pabulum
of their pupils, but they prescribe for
their MONDAY luncheons the things that
it is hygienically and scientifically prop
er for boys and girls to eat.
Some Of the wise Bostonians viewed
with anxiety the youth of the city nom
chalantly munching pie, cake and other
indigestibles at their noon recess, ut-
terly indifferent to any result more re-
mote than the immediate qualification
of their appetites. Science applied to
food was summoned to the rescue, and
the members of the committee on hy-
giene of the Boston school board had
an order passed providing that only
such food as was approved by them
should be sold in any of the city school
houses. This was aimed at the janitors
and others who had been catering to

ing the malady, and that the Assam tea
planters and the closely shaven Chinese,
although constantly working in the
hottest sun, are equally exempt.
DR.. Sambon, discussing the geograph-
ical distribution of the disease, goes on
to prove that the areas in which it is
epidemic are strictly defined. While
unknown in Europe, it is common in the
low-lying regions of the eastern United
States between the Appalachians and
the Atlantic. 1t extends along the Nile
sea, the Red sea and the Persian gulf.
1t prevails in the Indo-Gangetic alluvial
plain, but not on the adjacent Indian
highlands. In support of his infection
theory DIR. Sambo refers TO the occur
renee of epidemics which have frequent
ly decimated hospital wards and not af-
fected men exposed to greater heat and
sun. The demonstration of the organic
origin of the malady rests on its dis
tribution etiology. morbid anatomy and
epidemic character. The specific or
gansm has not been detected, but DR..
Snmbon's Investigations incline him to
the belief that II lives in the superficial
layers of the soil, and Is conveyed to the

FIRSY TELEGRAPH OFFICE.
The building In Which the Great
Electrician Morse Experimental
Under Government Patronage.

There is still standing in the Mount
Clare yards of the Baltimore & Ohio
railroad in Baltimore a building that
has the reputation of being the first
telegraph office in the United States.
1t was the first railroad station, and no
one denies that it was also the scene of
an experiment that has blossomed into
a necessity and made civilization and
progress go hand in hand around the
world.
S. +. b. Morse got his greatest encour-
agement in the early '4O's from the
h. & o. officials of that day, and though
congress gave him 100000 for expert
ments he would doubtless have failed
but for the aid, encouragement and be-
lief in his invention on the part of John
II. Il. Latrobe, then general counsel Of
the road.

showing many signs of its half century
of existence, the old building, drawing

of the house and has participated ac-
lively at the Friday night sessions.
Although southern man by birth and
associations, Mr.. Sullivan has shown
himself especially free from sectional
prejudice and has never opposed rea
sonable pensions to the veterans of the
civil war. He was one of David b. Hills
followers in the south, and, while he is
free silver man, he is not radical in his
views. Like Representative Bailey, his
brother-inlaw, his course in the past
nas been for conservative policy that
would not estrange the gold democrats.
In personal appearance Senator Sui
livan is a man of medium size. He is
very erect and precise in his bearing
and converses with frank but positive
tone. He has a keen eye, an aquiline
nose, and features that are rather thin
and convey an impression of severity.
Notwithstanding this, Senator Sullivan
is very pleasant man socially, and
during his service in the house has been
popular. He was appointed by Speaker
Reed as a member of the committee on
claims and of the committee on Pacific
railroads.

crackers, two slices of bread and but

cent lunch, consisting of a sandwich,
bread and butter, with fruit, cocoa and

popular, so all sorts of combinations
possible for five cents have been made.

Buffalo is the only city enjoying the

man. Jack is not on the pay roll, but
he is honorary desk sergeant, just the
same. He came to the patrol barn of
police station No. two years ago, when
he was pup. He showed signs of un-
usual intelligence and Ed Stanton, the
patrol driver, kept him.
About year ago Jack formed lik-

the sergeant in front of the station

first the dog was shy, but, after max

and kept by the sergeant's side, There
was no objection to this.
