MUSIC AT DINNER.

There was an air of unwonted gayety last week among diners at the hotel and restaurant table d'hotes, caused, it was learned, by report that war had brok- en out between the hotels and restau- rants on the one side and the musical union on the other. It was believed
 that it would result, happily, in the abolishment of music during the dinner hour.
 Unfortunately, the rumor proved to
 be unfounded, dashing the hopes of those table d'hote patrons who are com pelled to take their soup to the accom-;
 paniment of ''coon"s melody; their
 fish to syncopated rag tirne;" rush at the entree to the -whirlwind strains of a music hall ditty, and ponderously dis cuss the roast to the heavy artillery of Beethoven's "Leonore" overture. No,
 diners must continue to journey on
 down through the flats and sharps of the menu to the awful, dyspeptic finale induced by the gradual wrecking of
 their digestive apparatus by the table d'hote band.
 It may be that band is considered VdludDie py Ifle pTODFletOFS or luCFedS- ing the wine-room revenues, for average table d'hote musicians will drive man to drink; but even on this theary, serv- ing dinner with music lon the side" is a poor business policy. Were hotel or restaurant to advertise mo band" the place would be beseged doubtless by those who would if they could flee
 from the terrible dinner orchestra. There would be left, as patrons of
 dining places that still indulge in need less noises, none but the stone deaf, who wouldn't mind the music, and pos sibly those who have lived alongside the rapid transit trenches and who, ,accus- toned to dynamite disturbances, are
 not made nervous by musical explo- sions.-New York Herald.

And we are told to allay our fears. that we must spare no pains to Americanize the second gen. eration of these people. that the fathers and mothers are in too many cases be- yond our reach, but that we can, and we must, reach out after the children that are born here and put their feet in the path that leads to patriotic citizenship with keen appreciation of its obliga- tions and a sincere love of it's privileges. But the first thing to be done to Amer icanize these people is to break up tns spirit of clannishness that exists among them. to bring them more and more in contact with people. who reflect the true spirit of the country, and let them acquire by observation and absorption some of those traits and characteristics that are needful to their new environ 1nent. .St. Albans Messenger.

ODD CHINESE DISHES.

An Appetizing Description of the Way in Which They Are Made.
 Chinese cooks and Chinese foods are
 acquiring more and more popularity in
 America. The manifestations of this
 popularity are: F First-In some American restaurants
 such Chinese dishes as 'chop suey" and
 "geish main" are served side by side with soft shell crabs and broiled lob- ster. ' ...
 Second-There is hardly an American city that has not it's Chinese restau- rants, to which persons of every class like to go. d.: Third-Few Bohemian gatherings are complete without a pail of chop suey,
 brought, fresh and hot, from China- town.
 Fourth-Many rich families employ Chinese cooks-men expert in the best French and American dishes, and ex- pert also in the best dishes of China, which, now and then, they serve. It is not strange that Chinese food, in a cosmopolitan country like Amer ica, should be popular for Chinese cooking, an art as difficult as French cooking, has taste that is as pleas ant to the Occidental as to the Orien-
 tai palate, while Chinese cooks and Chinese kitchens are as clean as many white tiled dairy. Some Chinese restaurants are fur
 nished expensively with lockwood toh1 ;y,Io s1 with
 mother-of-pearl. They have entrances so constructed that the patron, to reach the dining room, must pass through the
 kitchen, the idea being that the parton should examine the kitchen-should see
 how clean it is-before he eats the food
 that comes out of it. Copsticks, as we'll as the customary knives and forks, are
 provided with the food, and the Ameri- can finds it interesting to try to learn to eat with these two little ebony or ivory utensils.
 The Chinese menu is puzzling. It is composed of dishes with such names as
 mo gu sue ki," ''chow main," ''geish main," 'yock a main," fin ka nau yok,'' "li chee," "si u ah,'' up tread
 main," yang wall,'' "muy gu guy pan, g etc. All these dishes are agreeable to ! the American taste. They range in price from $1.50 or $2 for mo gu sue l Ri" (which is made of chicken breasts and mushrooms, principally) to 15 cents for ''yock a main," a composition of
 noodles, chicken and pork.
 ."Geish main'' and "chop suev'' are
 the dishes that Americans like best. In each of them chicken, pork, mush-
 rooms and celery figure, and over eacE
 of them very salty, appetizing sauce,
 called "see yow." is poured. Bread is seldom served in Chinatown: rice takes its place-rice steamed instead of

people drawn from all the corners of
 ethe earth to dwell together in unity
 and eventually to find their virtues and their strength represented in one great composite race, the noblest type of man yet evolved from the womb Of time, that generations to come shall call American. < The future safety of this nation de- mands that it shall at no far distant day be governed by a homogeneous people. No thoughtful person requires any specific argument in support of such an obvious truth. This vast do- main, with It's varied and complex in terests, can only be securely adminis- tered as a. nation of self governing peo- pie when the great majority of those who partake of the same kind and the same degree of civilization. From the beginning up to the present time we have been young and healthy enough to digest and assimilate the great floods of immigration that have poured in at our gates. There has never been a time heretofore when the bulk of the people were not either of the original British stock or the descendants of inmi-
 grants long ago settled here and them- selves reared as native-born Americans, so that the strangers who came among us were easily kept in that necessary tutelage to the new American ideas by force of the superior influence about them. But as the years go on, as i'm migration multiplies the strangely dis cordant races that are assembled here Ito be nodded into one people, the need of this firm bulwark of Americanism steadily increases.
 | There are large communities in our
 land to-day whose people are more nearly foreign than American, foreign societies are multiplying, newspapers printed in foreign tongues are becoming more and more common, the tendency
 of the immigrants is to colonize among people of their own race, and thus the
 old ideas of the old country and the ra- cial distrust of the new ideas of the
 new country are seen to flourish side
 by side with what we call Americanism. We are, to an alarming degree, merely giving harbor. not to men and women ! who are eager to amalgamate with our

"WE'LL TRY IT'D That's What the Grocer s aid,

A grocer had heard his customers praising certain food and one day he said: "We'll try it. 3@&
 1.-Two years ago." said the grocer's wife, "fny little daughter was very low with typhoid fever and we had four dif- ferent physicians attending her. The last doctor we called said her stomach was as raw as piece of beef and that all depended on her diet We failed to find food that she could digest and we were so discouraged. We thought she could not live.
 My husband has a grocery store and said, I have food very highly recom- mended called Grape-Nuts. We'll try that So he brought some Grape Nuts home and I fed the child teaspoonful three times a day in cream and as she began to improve almost immediately increased the amount to two teaspoon fuls. In six weeks she looked like an- other girl, bright-eyed, rosy-cheeked healthy.
 "She was a mere skeleton when we commenced to use Grape-Nuts food but it was not long before so many said My! How fine she looks to have been so sick. What causes it?' and I tell them all Grape-Nuts surely saved her life. She is now perfectly well and strong, and still enjoys Grape-Nuts and said to me to-day, Oh Mama, write and tell them what Grape-Nuts did for me-" Name given by Postum Co.,, Battle Creek. Mich.
