NaNs and NaNers
BY RICHARD NEVILLE.

son. Both are clever men. They ought II they strike 1t right. be able to produce something good But who can tell any thing about 1t. Let us hope, however that the great American humorist will with so experienced a writer and stage director as MT. Rosenfeld, produce a stage work worthy of the regulations of both.
 Manager Sam Shubert of the Herald Square Theater is going or has gone to London. A short time ago Charley Ev- ans went over there to get 'In the Soup" from French. I wonder if Mir. Shubert is going to London to pull MT. Evans out and get Tn the Soup himself. Manag- CTS and players are people hard to under stand. Where the subject of farce com edy consomme is concerned find it die ficult to decide whether to congratulate Shubert and Evans on getting "In the Soup" or out of 1t.
 Mrs. Sarah Cowell Le Moyne, I hear. Is having three plays written for her, but which of the three she will be first seen in has not yet been decided upon F. Marion Crawford Is at work on one, Madame de Maintenon;" Charles Henry Meltzer is putting the finishing touches on the second which, it is said, will have the first Duchess of Marlboro as a cen tral figure; and the third play will be the work of some English novelist, name unknown-I mean the name of the play Let us hope that whatever play she se- lects may meet with a favorable recep- tion, if it deserves It., and if 1t lacks merit the sooner 1t is sent to the "dem- milton bow-wows" the better. American play-goers have had more than enough of poor plays the last few seasons
 J. K. Hackett and his wife. Mary Man nering, have sailed for England. The ill- ness of Miss Mannering's sister, who lives there was the cause of the early departure They will both be back in August to begin preparations for the autumn campaign. Mrs. Hackett' s first presentation will be Victor Mapes Don Caesars Return;" after that he will produce another new play, which will possibly be followed by dramati- zation of Winston Churchilrs novel, The Crisis" the dramatic rights. of which MT. Hackett has acquired. This promising young star Is determined to have a repertory, and does not propose to go down to fame as a one-character actor. Au revoir.

creep.
 He was nearly seven years old before he was able to hobble around even with the aid of crutches. and then he could not travel far, owing to weakness. He was undersized and his face was pallid. Thus matters continued until six months ago, when his parents heard of wonder full cures effected at the shrine.
 MT. Lavery determined that the boy should have an equal chance with these other sufferers who had been cured at the Shrine He brought Maurice to New York, and together they visited the Rev. Father Porcile, rector of the Church of Our Lady of Lourdes. who was favorably inclined to the project of taking the boy before the Shrine.
 This was done, and almost from the day the boy was first sprinkled with the holy water he is said to have begun to gain in health and strength. At each successive visit his parents noted with delight how the glow of health came into his hitherto pale cheeks and how his strength grew visibly.
 Maurice had been accompanied on each visit to the Shrine by his father until last Saturday when he came on alone from Rhode Island by boat, his parents feeling sufficient confidence in his i'm

LUXURY IN DIET.
The Rich Man Not Much Better of
 Than the Poor One.
From the Lancet.

From the Lancet.
 Of course, the wealthy man pays a good deal more for his breakfast, luncheon and dinner than does the poor man, but is Dives physiologically and physically speaking, any better for it? We doubt it.
 Plain food, is on the whole, more ac- ceptable to the economy than are rich morsels. It is very questionable whether from the strictly nutritive point of view champagne and oysters are after all in health an advance upon ginger beer and cookies, whether tur- key is preferable to calf's head, or caviar to soft herring roe, or ployers eggs superior to the ordinary eggs of the barndoor bird. But there is vast difference between the price of cham pagne, say at 10 shillings bottle, and between oysters at 8 shillings pence a dozen, and cookies at fifteen for a penny, and between turtle soup at 10 shillings pence pint and calf's soup at pence plateful.
 We shall be pretty correct in stating that the man who buys common eggs instead of plover's eggs, and calfs head instead of turtle, and pigeon in- stead of a partridge, is the gainer, at any rate from the economically nutri- tive point of view. In other words, the price of an article of food by no means sets upon its food valne and the diff ference represented between the price of champagn and ginger beer, between Lat of oystrs and cookies, etc, Is the price paid to please the palate, which extravaganza Is probably the penalty of a mental rather than of bodily de- nand.
 But physiologically it is akin to sub stituting diamonds for coals in the steam engine. Luxurious foods are, strictly speaking, creature comforts, while plain foods are bodily necessi- ties. It must be admitted, however, that as a rule, choice-tasting game and meats are necessarily tender and therefore easily of assimilation. But clearly there must be limit to the appropriation of food by the body, and ..is limit may be reached just as easily by means of good, plain and tender food as by food of a rarer sort. According to this view. there must be great physiological extravagance going on from day to day. In the mat ter of beverages the same sort of ex- travagances occur. Enormous prices are given for a particularly choice wine, but here, again, it is practically certain that the human economy gains little or nothing by it.
 Does the man who drinks claret of choice vintage at, say, 10 shillings a bottle, derive any material advantage over the man who drinks his shilling bottle of win ordinaire? It is doubtful. In any case, the prices asked for wine at big hotels are so monstrously high and the wine offered Is so often bad that this fact alone accounts for an increasing demand for whisky as dinner beverage. There is obviously considerable physiological sin and wantonness committed in the choice of feod and in the quantity consumed.

proved condition to permit him to make the journey by himself. On his visits hither the boy stopped at the parochial home connected with the church. On ar irving here yesterday morning he at once went to the home.
 Father Porcile took him to the service, which began at 2:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon. For half an hour the rector prayed that the boy might be fully re- stored to health. There were 2O00 persons in the congregation and they were much affected by the eloquence of the priest.
 At the conclusion of the prayer the boy was stripped to the waist and Father Porcile sprinkled the lads back and spine wit. the holy water from the fount in front of the shrine.
 Then he said to the boy that he wished him to walk without using his crutches, telling him he could do it. he boy de- murred at first, but walked, clinging to the arm of the priest, while the congre- gation looked on amazed.
 Then the good father told the boy he must walk without any outside assist ance and suddenly withdrew his support ing arm
 The boy tottered moment and seemed about to fail, but to the astonishment of the congregation walked up the aisle

CRIPPLE CURED AT A SHRINE.
Maurice Lavery Walks for First Time
 While 2oo0 People Look On

From the New York World.
 After being a cripple all his life, Mau- rice Lavery thirteen years old. is said to have been cured at the Shrine of Our Lady of Lourdes, at Broadway and Aber- deen street, Brooklyn.
 The boy had visited the shrine twice a month for the half year, and after being sprinkled with holy water yesterday aft ernoon, in the presence of 2000 people, he is said to have walked to the parish house without assistance. and without using his crutches, the first time in his life he had ever walked without their aid.

Rural School Houses.

The following resolution regarding school houses in the rural districts of Ala bama was adopted by the recent conven- tion of county superintendents held in Montgomery:
 Whereas, there Is a crying need fW bet ter school houses in the rural districts of Alabama, we. the county superintendents of education in convention assembled in Montgomery, hereby petition the commit tees on taxation and education in the constitutional convention now assembled to recommend that public school houses be declared public buildings in making provision in the constitution for a special county tax to erect court houses. bridges and other public buildings. and that such aid be given by the county to the building of school houses as the commissioners court or boards of revenue in the several counties may deem practicable.

requires a board of education, portion of whom at least should be business men, ard a superintendent to report to this board and in general to follow it's direc- tions. Here we get combination of the practical and the ideal and come nearest arriving at perfection. The county of Mobile and most of our city schools have this system. Tn these we find the best schools of their grade in the State. In these the superintendents are learned and experienced teachers, educated and train ed for the positions they hold. Whether the superintendent be elected or appoint ed is a secondary matter. That he should be qualified for the duties of his office Is the primary, supreme require ment; and no one is qualified who is not learned and experienced teacher, any more than no one is qualified to sit upon the judges bench who is not learned in the law l..

The Property of Cranes.

From the St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
 Whoever heard of piece of land deed ed to flesh or fowl? Yet this has been done in at least one case by popular con sent. Away off in innesota, at that popu- lar summer resort, Lake Minneonka around whose shore cluster many Indian legends, there is picturesque island which takes it's name from the fact that 1t is uninhabited by man and given over to the cranes. Generations back these birds decided upon this spot for a sum- mer resort As time went on and the surrounding islands, populated, no man had the heart to disturb them, until now Crane Island is pointed out from passing boats as one of the curiosities of the Northwest.
