New Aaterials for Bread.
Telephone connection.

Some of the many materials used for bread have been brought to mo- lice by M. Paul Combes. Beans, peas and other leguminous seeds, as we'll as maize and other vegetable sub stances, require mixing with wheat or rye, or the bread is liable to be soggy, indigestible, or otherwise of poor quality. Mashed potatoes mixed with wheat or maize flour give pala- table bread, which, however, attracts moisture. Rice four makes fine yell low bread, agreeable both to sight and taste. and the chestnut bread that forms the chief food of the Cor sican mountaineers is healthful, agreeable, digestible and keeps Is days or longer. Bread has been made from acorns, people in France hav- ing been reduced to the necessity in time of scarcity. Noses, dried and powdered. are still esteemed for bread by Norwegians; and other suo- stances that have been used-most of them yielding little nutrition without the addition of cereal flour include the roots of bryonia, col- chicum, iris, serpentaria. mandragora and hellebore and the leaves of acon- ite, etc.

USING THE CARD SYSTEM.

c. R. & L Go Keeps Tabs on Employes
 on Various Lines.
 When a young man sets out to be- come a motorman or conductor in the employ of the Connecticut Railway x Lighting Go, says the New Britain Herald, he must file an application in form prescribed by the company set ting forth certain facts about himself and giving the names of three local citizens as references.
 Since the trolley system in New Brit ain came into the hands of this com pany there have been good many ap' plications filed from which the person concerned heard nothing afterwards. Some people take it for granted that in such cases the company has no particu- lar use for the application. This it not SO They are kept on file where they can be easily referred to whenever occasion demands.
 Tn the office of the local company is stack of applications on file, each of which is tabulated according to the date of its receipt by the company. The file now contains several hundred such forms and few days pass without an addition being made to 1t.
 A record is also kept of every em- ploye of the company. Upon a card prepared for the purpose is entered the name of the employe, the time of his entrance and exit from the employ of the company and the reasons for his leaving. If he was discharged the reason Is entered in red ink. Such precautions as these are needed to pro- tect company which operates the number of trolley cars that this big syndicate controlling the street railway system in many cities does.
 Should a motorman be discharged because of his drinking habits or a conductor for stealing, when either of these makes an application for employ ment in any other city the superin- tendent has recourse to the New Brit ain office and learns the reasons that the applicant was dismissed from his last place. By this system it is ex- tremely difficult for motorman who has been discharged for culpable negli- gence of any kind or conductor who was found to he dishonest to get the same opportunity in another city. The trolley company thus protects itself and protects the public.

HoNoRs WEIRD CONFERRED.
First Glass to Graduate From St
 Thomas Parochial School.

Thomas Parochial School The first annual commencement ex- ercises of St Thomas parochial school were held in the City hall last night. The seating capacity of the hall was | taxed to it's limit with parents, rela- tives and friends of the graduates. The hall was prettily and profusely decor ated with flags and bunting. A bank of palms, ferns and potted plants add 1 ed a touch of vernal beauty to the stage and its surroundings. The mem bers of the class were grouped about l the stage. They were neatly attired and each wore iboutonniere or carried bunch of flowers. Everything ap- 1 peared to add to the happiness of the occasion.
 The program was most interesting. l Each number was excellent and re- l ceived much applause. The saluta- tory by Miss Jennie Hardis and the valedictory by Miss Katherine Dodds were ably written and splendidly read. They showed deep thought, fine per ception and earnest preparation. Very interesting was the class prophecy by Miss Katherine Tehan. who told of a
 
 the celebration of the golden jubilee of the Rev Father Crowley.
 The class was addressed by the Rev Father Crowley, who spoke of the dif- ficulties which will block their paths life, of the will and power needed to overcome these difficulties, which could be done if they only followed in life the meaning of their motto, "On- ward and Upward" Father Crow ley's address was full of earnest thought and good, sound advice.
 The conferring of honors upon the members of the class was done by Rev Father Crowley. The members and honors bestowed, with the names of the donors, follow: Miss Elizabeth Dodd, first honor gold medal, donated by Rev Father Crowley; Miss Jennie Hardie, second, gold medal. do- mated by Rev Father Kennedy; Miss Katherine Tehan, third. gold medal, donated by Rev Mother Xavier of St Elizabeth college, New Jersey; MlSs Helen Kenyon, gold medal, John O'Brien: Master Myles Calvin, gold medal, Mrs Reid; Miss Christine Ken ny, gold medal, John Begg; Miss Anna HulGy, SU1u AuC0nAy OVhA AoN SD@~S Josephine Nelson, gold medal, MT Cur ran; Master Thomas Fleming, gold medal, Mir Kilmer of Philadelphia l; Miss Katherine Watts, gold medal, MT Kerwin of New York; Miss Rose Fee ley, gold medal. St Thomas school; Miss Julia Dinneen, gold medal, St Thomas school; Miss Katherine Quinn gold medal, ''Friend;" Master Mi chael Flanagan, gold medal, "Friend."
 The exercises were carried through with magnificent success. After weeks of preparation it must have been most satisfactory to the children and especially to their teachers to hear the warm words of praise and com mendation for the work of the chll- dren which were heard on every side last night. The children's work was really surprising. It was admirable. One of the features of the evening was recitatiorl<by little Nora Tehan. who is only four years of age. She made a big hit with her recital or "DoAy s Dead" .
