aIasks as Chicken Salad.

Many persons who read from time
to time OF attempts such as are now
being made by the state department of
~agri3ultare and the local health board
to suppress the bob veal traffic, wonder
where All the bob veal goes to that is
said to reach the New York markets,
as they never see any Of it. One Of
the most common of the uses to which
it is put escapes the attention Of the
CnciscriIninating utterly. That is, it's
use as a substitute for chicken in
chicken salad.
In the highest class OF restaurants
in which the chicken il salad is cut
into reasonably large pieces, there is,
OF course, nothing of this sort done.
But where lue supposed chicken is al
most minced, as it too often is, even in
good restaurants, there is generally
room for a suspicion of the substitu-
ton of bob veal for chicken. Several
men were almost more panied than dis
gusteds not long ago to find themselves
served with 4 salad of bob veal, with q
scattering OF bits of chicken in it in a
Broadway restaurant. The proprietor.
Of the restaurant has several places of
refreshn1ent in town and his name has
been held to be a guarantee of the
quality both of the edibles and the
drinkables served in his eating places.

American Securities ABROAD.

1t is the practice Of the great banks
Of Europe, particularly of Germany,
to take charge Of the securities owned
by a vast clientage of investors. When

into great vaults whose. walls and

scattered packages. This was the yisi-

liked his morning paper at first hand.
On this morning his seifshness was Il
kindness to them since they could not
know the news that awaited them.
The family consisted of two young
daughters and Mrs. Lenox, a nervous.
fretful-looking woman. who had
learned the lessons Of life from a hard
master. There was a boy who was at
college, who had the distinction OF
being the 'son of Dombey" Lenox.
Much was expected OF him as sole heir
to the honors of his house. He had
seen his mother bullied and his sisters
browbeaten all his young life. and he
had bis own ideas OF life and liberty.
Where was father last night that
he should be so late at breakfast
asked one OF the girls.
HE attended a meeting Of the Eel
lowcraft Club and gave a talk on De-
velopment by Grace last night, and
naturally is tired this morning." said
the mother, fretfuily adding: II wish
he would be more punctual."

this from the youngest daughter, a
merry maiden Of fourteen.
He came in at that moment with a
churlish "good morning." and the vigor
with which he pulled out his chair and
dumped himself into it savored strong
ly of i'll temper. "For what we are
about to receive" was delivered in the
same wax spirit, and was followed By
a grumbiing complaint because the
breakfast was cold. This incident
being disposed by a new. supply Of hot
food there was the usual breakfast
chorus of rafting dishes and spoons,
and as Mr.. Lenox fed himself with one
hand he turned his paper with the
other. Suddenly he gave a savage ex-
ciamation. and, pushing the table from
him, nearly overset it, when the front
door opened quickly and a tall youth
entered hastily in outing costume. car

Careless Snake Ueea No Tooth Brush.

Careless Snake Cged No Tooth Brush.
DR.. Calmette, director of the Pasteur
Institute ut Lille, France, who was
bitten by a most poisonous snske re-
Gently, tells the following story OF the
occurrence:
Il was handling the snake when one
OF his fangs touched the third finger
of my right hand. 1 felt nothing at
first, but presently found blood began
to flow. 1t was easy to understand
what had happened. I ran and placed
my finger under a tap. Without delay
one Of my assistants inoculated me
under the skin Of the stomach with an
injection Of serum, and In less than
five minutes the numbness and the
pain had ceased.
"a day or two later, finding that the
wound did not heal. a surgical operation
was performed. This had nothing to
do with the snake venom, which had
been completely eliminated from the
wound. Necrosis had set in from infec-
ton of the open wound, and the doc
tor said with a laugh: I suppose the
reptile had forgotten to wash his
mouth"

Fire Signals.

At O meeting of Hope Hook and
Ladder Co. No. /, held on July 8,
1901, the town was divided into Fire
Districts and q Code of Signals was
adopted in order to facilitate the loca-
tion of fires in the future. The town
was divided as follows:
District No. Alt that portion OF
ewn bounded north by Bellevue
street. west by Union street, south
and east by corporation line.
District No. 2-All that portion of
town bounded by Bellevue street on
the south, Union street on the west,
and corporation line on the north and
east.
District No. 3-The portion of town
lying west of Union street, and south
of Bellevue street, with the corpora
ton line as the south and west boun-
Diary.
District No. 4-The portion of town
bounded on the south by Bellevue,
east by Union, north and west by COZ

The Signals adopted were short taps
to indicate the district in which the
fire is locatel, followed by a rapid
alarm, same to be repeated until gen-
erai alarm is given.

N effect that several students
~ were expelled from one Of the
& minor colleges OF Ohio for
FRANKS on Halloween night Is Of more
than passing interest to all who are
struggling with the great problem Of
education. One naturally infers that
these students had not done anything
hopelessly bad or criminal. The coun
try is not agitated over the details of
their pranks. They possibly broke the
college rules and were in disgrace with
the faculty to be so arbitrarily eject
ed, but there is a confession Of weak
ness in the government Of the college
dictators who could not enforce their
wi rules. Men OF experience and au-
thority who send boy culpTits home for,
discipline which was lacking within
the college walls are exploiting the in
adequacy OF their own educational
methods. Where were the professors on
witches night, when the spirits Of mis-
chief are abroad and license is per-
mitted for pranks? Why were they not
larking with the boys. renewing their
own youth and keeping tine father OF

How naval officers, with salaries
varying from $1,000 to $500 mangage

deep mystery to the ordinary cItlzen.
Not only must a naval officer keep him
self supplied with the half dozen Diff
ferent uniforms specified by the gov
3Tnment, but he must be able when
ashore to present a decent appearance
in civilian attire, must stop at COCA
hotels, must associate with civilians Of
social position corresponding to his
own, and if he has a wife and children
he nusi maintain them in good style.
All this is made possible by hat

supplies are purchased in bulk and at
the lowest possible cost.

Suicide I'm ENGLAND

During the last fifty years the sui
cidal tendency In England has grown
into a formidable disease. The growth,
too, has been continuous. Suicide has
steadily increased 900 per cent In
happily, too, the growth has been
most rapid in recent years. This is
learned from the verdtcts Of coroners'
jIrses-a test which does not exagger-
ale, but allows q percentage OF vast
age. And especially is this increase
remarkable when the attempts 10 COM
NIT sulcide-so fer as they are known

while In the decade from 1876 to 1886
the attempts rose from 91S TO 111c-
an increase Of thirty-slx PEI cent.-be-
tween 1886 and 1896 the percentage
Increased Us much as ffty-six per
cent. During the last twenty-five
years they have increased in all 152
per cent. BY examining the latest sta.
tistfcs l have discovered the most sui
ci'ial localities in England. And CO.
riolsly, perhaps, the highest percent
agas-i. e., per 100000 of population
are reached by provincial towns. AS
the sites of actual suicides, Norwich,
Blackburn, Newcastle, Oldham and
Leeds, in the order named, achieve a
dismal pre-eminence. For attempted
suicide, Liverpool, London. Birming-

A N T DAYgREAK.

The cock. crows in the"windy winter morn,
Then must I rise and fling the curtain
by,
Ali dark! but for a strip of fiery sky
Behind the ragged mountains; peaked and
torn.
One planet glitters in the icy cold,
Poised like a hawk above the frozen peaks;
And now again the wild nor'-wester
speaks,
And bends the cypress, shuddering, to
his fold,
While every timber, every easement crcaks,
But still the skylarks sing aloud and
bold;
The wooded hills arise; the white cascade
Shakes with wild laughter all the silent
shadowy glade.

1t has been decided in the New York
courts that the fact that a wealthy gem
tleman married his nurse, who was
made the chief beneficiary under his
will in return for her faithful care OF
him In his last illness, does not con-
stitute sufficient cause for disallowing
the will in favor of a brother who
never manifested any token OF fra
ternal regard for the testator beyond
visiting his sick room on a single oc-
casion for the purpose Of borrowing
money from him.
