ADEQUATE COAL SUPPLY
FOR DISTRICT SCHOOLS
Enough Secured to Last
Until February IS.
CRITICISM OF THE BOARD
Commissioner Macfarland Says That
Only Special Contract Lots
Are Drawn Upon.
CRITICISM OF THE BOARD

The District commissioners have COM
pleted arrangements Tor supplies Of fuel
for the public school buildings to last
until the middle Of February. Under =
special contract with President Baer. u
The Reading Coal and Iron Company.
they we're to receive 1000 tons Of an
.hracite OF this amount 100 tons have
been delivered. The balance OF 800 tons
viii be furnished on demand as needed.
In addition TO This the Commissioners
nave placed contracts for 900 tons OF
bituminous coal and 1 900 tons OF coke
TO be mixed and used in the school fur
nsces. This fuel will be- delivered upon
call as it may be required. So far the
Board has been able 10 supply anthra-
cite for the school buildings, and though
the supply has sometimes run low, no
school has been without fuel.
Safe Until February IS.
II it becomes necessary. the sof, coal
and coke will be brought in, so that
there is enough fuel in sight "a last until
February >. according 10 the estimates
OF the amount needed by the Board Of
Education. According to these estimates
about 300 tons daily are required in
severe weather. There are 140 school
buildings to be provided for.
In speaking Of the matter Commits
sioner Maciarland said the Board had
/ been criticised in certain quarters for
taking coal out OF the market for the
schools when Il was so badly needed
! by the people. many OF whom we're with
out enough TO keep them warm. He said
that as he understood The law the Com
missioners were required 10 keep the
schools open. II possible. OF course.
he said, If the fuel could not be OBJ
tained the schools would have 10 close.
but as long as coal and coke can be OBJ
tanned at figures which are not prohibit
tive he thought the Board was justified
in keeping the work OF public education
going.
The Washington times., 1902-12-31
Special Supply.

Mr. Macfarland said further ,hst the
coal which had been brought TO Wash
ington for the schools was not that sent
for the general market. but under
special contract with Mr. Baer for the
purpose named. and that # had not. in
his opinion. affected the amount cf coal
set aside for a specific purpose and
brought here in addition to the amount
which the companies could furnish for
general consumption
Mr.. Macfarland believes that ne ef-
forts OF the Commissioners TO obtain
coal for the schools. when properly
understood, will not be criticised.

Forcing Young Lamb.

Il is something new, this forcing fresh
young lambs on the market in the middle
OF winter. Years ago nobody ever
thought Of 1t. and when the first ones
made their appearance toward the last
.of February. OF even as late as st. Pat
rick's Day. it was a signal for some cell
ebraton. II is only characteristic OF the
way things are done nowadays that fore
ing spring lamb should have become a
rising industry. The industry is striking
in New Jersey and in Virginia.
Although spring lamb Is at this season
rare and high priced. winter lamb IS
reasonable at from Is cents TO 20 cents
and for any festive occasion the crown
roast made of the short ribs is always
an appropriate piece de resistance. and
makes a haUdsome dish when garnished
and filled With green peas or lima beans
Saddle of Mutton.
Peculiarly suitable for the New Year
dinner is the saddle Of mutton. which is
fine at ;his season Of the year. It is
considered more OF an extravaganza than
the leg Tor roasting. because It has not
so much solid meat. but it is not ex-
pensive IS compared with the turkeys
at 2S cents pound. and it is always
delicious.
The best saddles are from the heavy
mutton, the Canadian mutton so-ealIed.
because 1t Is on these that one gets the
thick layer Of fat. Not every one appre-
ciates this. but the thicker the fat the
richer the roast. and a twO-inch layer
which cooks down in the roasting adds
much to the favor Of the meat.
The little pigs are always much in
favor for festive functions at this season.
and for some weeks to come Weighing
from ten TO twenty pounds. they sell for
from $3.50 to 50. With them are numer-
Gus specialties in season. the tenderIoins
and sweetbreads. fresh hams and Ioins.
Oxtails are selling at 81 a dozen. and
there are beef kidneys for stew. lamb
kidneys to boil. calves feet and calves
brains and fresh OK tongues.

The BIRD That Flies Longest.

Mr.. ]. Lancaster. naturalist, VINO
spent five years on the west coast OF
Florida studying birds there, came TO
the conclusion that Of all the feathered
tenants Of the air the frigate bird can
fly the longest without resting. lie mas
seen one flying for whole week night
and day without repose.
The frigate bird can feed, collect ma
terlals for its nest and even sleep on
the wing. Apparently its wings can
be controlled automatically, withou'
the power Of its will, and 1t probably
adapts itself to take advantage OF the
inward or bearing force OF the wihd'
The spread of the frigate BIRDS wing
is great, and it>ean' fly at speed Oh
ninety,six miles an hour, without seem
Ing to flap its wings much
= The albatrOss-that king OF the h'si'
seas" as 1t has been called-is larger
than the frlgate bird. but If 1t follows
n vessel for four or five days 1t has 10
rest on a rock or on the ship itself.

The polarization Of the human body

avoid it. Live on what you have; live
il you can on less. Do not borrow
either for vanity or pleasure; the vani-
