ORIGIN OF MENU CARDS.
Duke Henry of brunswick Was the
First Person on Record to
Use Them.

1t was Duke Henry of Brunswick who
was first observed, in the intervals of a
banquet to sean carefully long STRIP
of paper by the side of his plate, and
when the curious guests vcntured to in
quirc into the nature of his studies he
explained that it was a sort of pro
eramme of the dishes which he had
commanded from the cook, to the in.
tent that if some dclicacy which cspe-
cially appealed to him were marked for
late stage in the repast he might care
fully reserve his appetite for it, says the
Philadelphia Inquirer.
The simplicity and excellence of the
idea instantly appealed to the good
dukes guests, and the menu card from
that moment became an institution. In
its old-fashioned form the bill was
usually written large on cards Of such
dimensions that room for only one
could be found at each board. This was
in 1900, and this aid to selection must
have been boon, for the medieval din
nor was mine of surprises. 1t was di-
Nidcd into courses; whereas nowadays
the diner has a general idea that fish
will follow soup, and that the entrCC
will be succeeded by roast or its equiv
alent, there was no knowing what was
going to happen at an early English
dinner, or in what order it would be
served.

A very stylish toilette in a smooth

skirt is gored and trimmed over the
hips with curved pattern of braided
goods put on SO that it seems to have
been woven in the goods. This trim

skirt, and below it are rows of narrow

The bodice has short side fronts of
the braided trimming and q scalloped

Colonel Lucien F. Burpee executed a
neat little surprise on the Blues at their

word of warning to either Captain
Welles or the company he suddenly APP
peared in their midst as they drilled and
gave them a thorough inspection. The
Blues We're not unprepared though and
under the command of Captain Welles
went through their movements in meri-

Colonel Burpee was greatly pleased
with their showing and complimented
Captain Welles highly on the high stan
dard of the company. He said later
that he had wished for some time to
inspect the Blues and had taken the
chance to do 80. "They are fine COM
pany," he said, land I am greatly pleas
ed with the showing they have made.

BREATH REGULATION.

Heart Complaints are Cured by the
Hindoo Process-Pranayama and its
Effect on Disease.
A Brahman says in the Humanitarian
of the Indian process of breath regula-
ton and it's curative effects: Pranaya-
man is the process of suppressng
breath, observed by Brahmans just be-
fore doing their daily prayers, etc. The
breath is suppressed with the utterance
of some mantrams. 1t is believed that
this is enjoined by the ancient Rhis as a
sort Of cleaning process preparatory to
utterlng any sacred mantram. 1t is
said that various are the virtues pos
sessed by such a process, chiefest of
them being the curing of diseases, es-

Several of the experienced native

One night, while pondering over my sad
fate in a half-reclining posture--I could
not lie down for fear of coughing-a
thought struck me of pranayaman and
its effect on disease. Il Immediately sat

THE SUPERVISOR QUESTION.
Action of Aldermen Monday N1gh'
Awaited With Interest.

Action of Aldermen Monday Night
Awaited With Interest.
Keen local interest centers on the
action to be taken Monday NIGHT by
the board of aldermen on the special
committee's recommendation to be
made that evening concerning dropping
the supervisors in the city schools.
Public opinion in favor Of the action
recommended by the committee seems
to be growing stronger every day, and
a general desire that all unnecessary
expense for the conduct of the city
schools shall be eliminated Is evident.
1t was reported last night that be-
fore Monday night letters would be
sent to the various members of the
board of aldermen and counc linen ask
ing that they vote against adopting the
committee report. A member of the
board speaking of the matter last night
said that the aldermen generally be-
lieved that the teachers We're being CO.
creed into signing the petition circulat-
ed among them in favor of the retention
of the supervisors and that consequent
~ the petition would not be regarded
with the consideration which it would
otherwise receive. The gentleman re-
ferred to said that so far as he could
ascertain nearly all the teachers were
opposed to the supervisor system and
that they were thereby greatly hamper
ed in their school work. He said chat
when competent teachers are subject
ed to sudden visits Of inspection from
the schools are demoralized
and the efficiency of the teachers great
ly impaired. Moreover the work of the
sur arvisors could be done efficiently by

to send prices off with a rush and the

demand for money was incidental to the
preparations of corporations to meet
May disbursements and then there was
a disposition among traders to antici-
pate a possible squeeze in call money
tomorrow, when loans carry over to
