mere Lads Demand shorter Hours at
the Holy Family Insti-
tuition.

Oh, dreadful daysi Even the school chill
dren are striking. Eleven took the initial
step at the Holy Family parochial school
last Friday to secure shorter hours and now
1t is said that at the KeIlom graded school
a walk out is threatened IL one Of the
teachers is not removed, while at still
another a plan is Matching for a similar
action II one class is not conceded a reduc-
tion OF the spelling lesson from a page to
a half page and total abandonment Of that
ever-boring study, grammar. Evidently
"strikitis infantum" will have to be
catalogued hereafter as among the possible
epidemics of the young.
The strike at the Holy Family church
school. Eighteenth and lizard, was a dis
tinctly businesslike affair. The school
has about fifty pupils. half Of whom are
boys.
Last Friday morning there was a general
secret conference and II was decided that
school hours should be from $3.50 to II 45
instead OF from 9 to IL. and lis to 3 in
stead Of / TO $3.50. Accordingly the boys
left the school at noon and agreed not 10
return until their demand was granted.
For certain very urgent reasons some OF
them who had grown communicative at
the dinner table changed their minds and
started back about 12:45. Eleven OF the
| OluETHf nOhGNtEs 6Out no QiQeT IMAM n
years, had kept mum and stood firm. As
the weakened ones came along the strikers
wsylaid them and used much ~suasion, moral
and otherwise. On Francis Warren they
used so much suasion Of the otherwise"
brand that Francis suffered something
worse than mere embarrassment. II is
said. too, that others Jared scarcely better
and that the girls. while too genteel to
strike with the boys, made things generally
unpleasant outside the school grounds by
designating as "scabs" those lads who re-
turned.
The whole affair had been so quiet and
far removed from the school that up TO this
time Father Fitzpatrick and the sisters
were in ignorance OF the sudden outbreak.
In the course OF the afternoon, however,
they received shocking enlightenment, for
there arrived a very young minister extra
ordinary and ambassador plenipotentiary
who presented the demands Of the strikers
to Sister Mary ~Bonaventure with much
solemnity and pomp. and requested an I'M
mediate answer. He got Il. The sister
sent back word that the strikers could re-
main out 80 they saw Mt, but that after
their return there would be other striking
OF a very different variety. After that the
Juveniles deemed Il best to stay away for
the rest OF the day, anyhow.
In the evening those who had not struck
felt a certain well-dehned timidity about
venturing out OF their houses. George
Bowler Of North Nineteenth was requested
by his mother to go 70 a neighborhood gro

A Famous W-oman's Club OF Gem
tory or So Ago.
About a century ago the seventh
heaven Of the fashionable world CT
London wasa club known Is Alnack's,
Of which the patronesses were Lady
Castlereagh, Lady Jersey, Lady Cow
per (afterward Lady Palmerston, Lady
Seton, Mrs. Drummond Burrell (after-
ward Lady N-illoughby), the Princess
Esterhazy and the Countess Lieven.
Their smiles or froWns consigned men
and women to happiness OF despair. 1t
is hard for US to conceive the impor-
tance which was attached to getting
admission to Almack's. Of the 500 Off
GERS Of the Foot guards not more than
half q dozen were honored with cards
to this temple Of the beau monde. The
government was q pure despotism, as
every government by woman is bound
to be, and q host Of intrigues was set
set in motion to get an invitation.
Very often persons OF rank who had
the entree anywhere were excluded
from the club. Such as wea admitted
had to dress in conformity with the
edict Of the tyrants. no gentleman be-
ing allowed to appear at the assemblies
except in knee breeches, white cravat
and crush hat. On one occasion the
Duke Of Wellington was about to
ascend the stairs to the ballroom
dressed in black trousers when the
guardian of the establishment stepped
forward and said, Your grace cannot
be admitted in trousers" whereupon
the duke, who had q great respect for
orders, quietly walked away.-NeW

COVERED DISHES.
The Reason They Were Introduced
During the Middle Ages.

During the -n{CaIe Ages.
From the days when our ancestors
took their food in their hands and ate
it with as little ceremony as dog
gnaws bone to the present time CT
elaborate dinners is long step, but q
gradual one. It was a number Of cen
turics before dishes Of any kind were
used, and knives and forks IS adjuncts
to eating are later still. The fear OF
poison which haunted the mind OF
every person Of quality during the md
die ages gave rise to certain curious
customs and even to certain supcrSti-
tons. When dishes are now served
covered, it is understood that II Is
merely for the purpose OF keeping them
warm. This was not, however, 1i:e
principal reason why they were not
served covered during the dark ages
It was the fear that poison mlSht pe
introduced into them surreptluouslE
between the kitchen and the taDle
where they were to be served 10 the
kings or the lords or even to persons
Of inferior rank.
The covers were not removed TILL the
master Of the house had taken hls
place. All dishes afterward served
we're brought on the table in the same
manner. It was the custom originally
when the dishes We're uncovered for
some Of the servants to first partake
Of them, but this custom was after
ward in part replaced by the servants
touching the food with one Of several
objects which were regarded as infalli-
bic preservatives against poison.
