THEY TOOK NO SOUP.
In the Early Days of the Republic It Was Food for Invalids
 Only.

Serving dinner in courses is com paratively modern fashion, first in- troduced in diplomatic Circles in Washington, D. C., and initiated from France. Up to the date of President Folks administration the course din- ner among Americans had made no further progress than that of serv- ing fish and soup separately. Soup was considered such foreign frip- pery that note written by Gen. Winfield Scott. in which he explained that he was "just sitting down to a hasty plate of soup" covered him with such ridicule as to materially contribute to his defeat as candi- date for the presidency, says Lippin- cott's. Soup in the early days of the republic was considered as food for invalids or poor people only; later, when the social splendors of the court of Empress Eugenie attracted rich Americans in focks to Paris, French table manners and custom pushed the old English dinner fash ions to the wall. It is doubtful, how ever, if soup ever found a place on the dinner table of the wealthy Maryland or Virginia planter, unless green turtle, which was really a stew, might be so called.

MOUNTAIN PEAK MAY FALL.
Tourists Are in Great Danger from Threatening Mountain Top
 in the Alps.

Although it has been rumored throughout the Alpine region for some time that the AItels-the great mountain peak which rears itself high above the famous Gemmi pass-was in more or less sha.ky condition, no one expected to hear that there was any danger of it's falling. Now, however, 1t is definitely stated that the Altels is on the point of splitting in two and may come laundering down almost any time, says report from Neu- chatel, Switzerland.
 : Damage enough will be done if the famous peak does fall in any case, but it is to be hoped that the crash will come before the next tourist season begins, for the Gemmi, above which the Altels towers, is used to greater extent than any other Alpine pass. The inhabitant of the region can inn agine what will be the result if the Altels should come crashing down, having experienced such an occur renee on smaller scale when glaciers from this particular peak have de- scended upon them. The last one fell in September, 1895, and many peas ants were killed.

LUNACY ON THE INCREASE.
A Swedish Professor Says That Edu-
 cated Women Are the Chief Victims

Hermann Lundborg, of the great Swedish lunatic asylum at Upsala, says that lunacy is increasing among Swedish women and more especially among the educated classes In the lower classes insanity is brought on chiefly by the cares of life or intem- perance, but in the educated women the main cause, he contends, is their educaoan.
 Dr. Lundborg emphatically asserts that the. forced training to which this class of women submit themselves is most hurtful.
 Ut is monstrous," he says, ''to sub- iect women to this competition, and if the competition does not cease ef- fects upon future generations will be disastrous"
 Dr. Lundborg states that the Swed- ish who have been educated in acade- mics have remarkably small families when they have any and that in too many eases their family relations are unhappy owing to their inability to discharge household duties. 1

"Whats in a name?'' Not much, it must be admitted. A Syracuse man was fined in the police court the other day for hitting his sister with framed motto which read, Peace on Earth, Good Will to Man." Perhaps if it had been more explicit and said women it might have been different.-Meriden Record.
 It has been promised for some time that figures will be produced to show that about half the capitalization of Connecticut trolley companies is water. The figures themselves will be given to the general assembly in connection with an effort to procure radical changes in trolley legislation.-Hart- ford Times.
 Seven boys, five white and two col ored, have died in Charleston, s. O., since Christmas of lockjaW, caused by powder burns while firing toy pistols. This is an extraordinary number of deaths from such cause in so short time, and shows an abundance of tetanus germs.

ALL GIVE HIM THE ROAD. One Driver for Whom Every OaheE Teamster on the City's Streets
 Quickly Makes Way.

Perennial in its power of attraction is the fire engine dashing along the city's streets on the way to a fire, and it fascinates all. And every driver and every motoIInan, every man handling anything on wheels gives the fireman the right of way and he does so spon- itaneously and gladly, says the New York Sun.
 And often many drivers hold up all at once to give the driver of the fire engine his choice of ways, as they would where two streets cross, and they do this before they see the en- zine at all. But they know it's coming and they hear it's whistle.
 Here was an engine coming along a cross street to Broadway, whistle a calling. At the first note of it every motorman or driver who chanced at the moment to be near the junction of Broadway and this street, stopped short, leaving the central space unoc. cupied, and leaving clear channels away from it in every direction.
 None of these drivers could know which way the fire driver would want to turn when he got to the corner, SC they all stopped, to give him free road in whichever way he wanted tc go and when he had come and gone dashing round the corner they al started up again on their several ways But so far as they could they had giyer the whole earth. so him.

A CHICAGO "QUIcK LUNCH"
1t Took Only an Hour, But the Chi. cagOans Must Have Been "Josh-

Where can we get a quick lunch 2'' asked one of the official stenographers of the National Civic Federation who came on from Chicago to report the proceedings of the executive commit tee of the industrial department of that organization, reports the New York Times.
 ! Before the reporter to whom the question was addressed could tell of the neighboring 'beef-and' places which met his idea of 'squick lunch, g the Chicago sten ographer asked how far it was to --'s, mentioning place where New Yorker would not go un- less he had several dollars to spare for luncheon and couple of hours to de- vote to gustatory delights. , The stenographers compromised on one of the best downtown restaur- ants.
 "We had good, quick lunch," said one of the stenographers on their re- turn. And it only took us an hour.''
 Do you call that quick lunch in Chicago?'' asked the reporter. Any thing over IS minutes we call dinner in New York"

The good people of Waterbury, and the bad, too, for that matter, who have read of trolley strikes in other parts or
 the country, have chance just now 10
 see for themselves, right in their own city how such a thing operates. Up to the present time the local strike has been. conducted along peaceful lines,
 and the men at the back of it say 1t will be continued in this way. They
 have made their demands and will use all peaceful efforts possible to get them. On the other hand the officials of the
 trolley service that is now prostrated also have laid down a set of rules and say that if the men do not comply they can consider themselves dis charged. The situation is serious one and it requires the wisest and cool est of heads to straighten 1t out, it has now gone so far. Had arbitration been attempted before the men went out it would have been much easier to handle the affair than it will be under tho pres ent circumstances. Iris human nature to be sort of stubborn like, and especial 1 ly is this so when force is used, either 1 in trying to force the demands of em- ployes, or in the employer trying to crush or crowd his employees. The en- ployes of the trolley company have long only needed such action on the part Of 1 the company as that of last week
 when 1t discharged some of its oldest employees, to bring it to head. The the company declares 1t will not give 1 Under the circumstances then it is alb, solutely out of the question to look fol a settlement there.

The president was subjected to what the French term bad quarter Of an hour at the cabinet meeting on Friday, and very bad quarter of an hour it was. Individually and collectively the members of his cabinet reproached him with the blunders he has committed in attempting to carry into effect a wholly Quixotic and spectacular southern pol icy. The appointment of one Dr Crum to be collector of the port at Charles ton, s. C., and the supension of the postoffice at Indianola, Miss, were made the texts for the curtain lectures delivered behind the closed doors of the cabinet room. Representative Bartlett of Georgia said that President Roose- welt is what you might call spectacu- lar statesman fond of playing to the galleries. Like all other professional reformers he has but one object in view and that is to better his own personal chances at the expense and discomdt- ure of others. He is after a majority VI tAS uCACS&tcS " tAC uCAL AdLAVAdA convention and he has been making q grand stand play for the negro votes in the south because he knows that they control the conventions that create the delegates" Representative Johnson, Howard, Brantley, Cochran, Patterson, Lever, Senator-elect Latt1mer and oth- CTS expressed similar views.

A GOOD WoMAN's MISTAKE.
She. Had an Erroneous Iden of Drums mers, According Ho the One
 Here Mentioned.


 In some way the little old woman engaged in missionary work had learned that the passenger with the silk cap on was a drummer, and after fdgeting about for few min. utes she walked up the aisle and sat down beside him and began: "You will pardon me, sir, if leave these tracts with you and ask you to give them your most serious con. sideration." "
 ''Oh, certainly, madam" replied the drummer, as he received them in iau politeness. q see that they are tracts on the sins of lying. swearing. gambling and drinking. Were they especially prepared for me?" 1 Moo, but I am told that you are a drummer"
 II see. My dear woman, will read your tracts with pleasure, but l must tell you that you have made a sad mistake. I never told an untruth in my life and never knew any oth- CT drummer to, especially drummera in my line. Why, could have made Ia $500 sale to-day by telling 8 white lie, but I preferred to lose the GUS. toner. You should know, ma'am, that we stick closer to the truth than any other class of men on earth. You have pained me deeply very deeply"
 II didn't mean to- replied the good woman, as she looked bit con- science-stricken. You may not lie but you do swear, don't you?"
 Never, ma 'am-never. once knew a drummer who swore, but he was not on the road long. His GUS. toners complained and he lost his job. I challenge any living man to come forward and say he ever heard me use a cussword. I can't do it. can't do it, and you will find all the rest just like me-"
 "But about drinking. have all ways heard that drummers-"
 Not drop, ma 'am-nothing but tea and coffee and soft drinks. ] have met two or three drummeTs who drank, but it was by the doc tors orders to save them from con- sumption. You couldn't have made a greater mistake, and trust you will be prompt to apologize"
 ''I do apologize if I am wrong,'' re. piled the woman, "but don't you play cards?"
 'You probably refer to poker sighed the drummer, according to the Detroit Free Press. q have heard of the game, and have often seen it mentioned in the papers, but a greater mistake you never made. Believe me, ma'am, when I tell you that I don't even know how many cards there are in poker deck. ] heard of two drummers who used to play poker, but one was killed by the cars and the other struck by lightning. Do I look like a gam. bler?"
 "Oh, no.'
 "I am glad of that, because I am not in it. l am a loving father, a faithful husband and a law-abiding man. I set aside five per cent. of my salary for the heathen, pay $100 , year pew rent and have distributed thousands of tracts myself against vice. Just about half the men meet for the first time take men for aI evangelist As I said, will read and digest your tracts, and will pass them on to lawyers. doctors bankers and so on and help to speed the good work. thank you, ma'am for your friendly interest, and now as am very busy writing hymns, trust yon will excuse me and never hurt drummer's feelings by making | the same mistake again."

The anxiety of the president to please the people and secure the en- actment of antitrust legislation has resulted in strained relations between the administration and the members of the subcommittee charged with the preparation of an antitrust meas ure. When congress met, the house judiciary committee appointed 8 sub committee consisting of Messrs Little field, Powers, Overstreet De Armond and Clayton to draft trust bill. This subcommittee asked the president for an administration measure and it was refused Then they asked the attor- ney general for his views on the sub ject They were furnished and the committee immediately set to work to draft a bill embodying them. Then, to the amazement of MT Littlefeld and his conferees, MT Knox sent to Representative Jenkins, chairman of the judiciary committee, two bills with request that they be introduced. This was done and only when they appeared in print did the sub-commit- tee, which had been burning the mid night oil over it's measure, learn that 1t had been completely ignored and that bills had been introduced which were calculated to render obsolete the bill on which they had expended so much time and labor.
