EVERY FEED A FEAST.

The Department Of Commerce and
Labor a few days ago issued a bulle-
tin showing that the cost OF food pro-
ducts is higher than for thirteen years.
But that was telling the housekeepers
nothing new. They were well aware
that there had been a marked Increase
in the prices of provisions, from their
periodical trips to the markets and the
stores. The dollar buys less of food
now than has been the case for many
years. AT this juncture, facing the
higher food proposition, comes a man
who informs us that it is nonsense to
spend any considerable amount of
money for food that as a matter of
fact it is possible to enjoy a feast for
a few cents; indeed, that every time
person sits down to partake of food
the meal should be, and can be made,
banquet, by mere mental process.
Nor is this great discoverer a Chris
tian Scientist. He is merely a scien-
tist, without the prefix.
It seems almost unnecessary to state
1t is the Chicago professors who have
given us so much to think and write
about on new lines since John d.
Rockefeller began to pour money so
literally into the largest of Chicago's
colleges. Yet for purposes of identifi-
cation it may be well to state that he
is Prof. V. Q. Lindquist who tells a
waiting and eager world how to enjoy
a Sardanapalian repast for the low
price of only ten cents, one dime, the
tenth part of a dollar.
Briefly stated, the Lindquistian sys-
tenn is this: Eat slowly; masticate
well; feel happy; be optimistic; think
of nothing except your food. and think
how good that is. That is simple. 1t
can be memorized in ten seconds, and
is guaranteed to save money to the
man who follows it, Prof. Lindquist
says he practices what he breaches,
and that he has been we'll fed and
happy in a meal consisting of barley
soup, barley lemonade and whole wheat
bread. And If man can feast on bar
ley, it seems that one ought to be able
to feast on about anything.
Boarding house keepers and proprie-
tors of cheap hotels ought to be ac-
tive propagators of the Lindquist phil
osophy. In practice it might have the
effect of stopping criticisms of the
leather steak, the prehistoric chicken
and the antediluvian prunes. The
boarder who can bring himself to be
happy while eating, no matter what
the fare; to think of nothing but his
food and how good it is, and to masti-
cate carefully whatever is set before
him; who never permits his rebellious
mind to run to imaginary delicacies,
but is content to eat joyfully with his
mind, without regard to his palate,
will have solved one of the most diff
cult problems of life, and ought to be-
come rich.

Stories of quay.

Senator Quay and a friend according
to the Kansas City Star, were talking
about young man who was leading a
rather gay life. The Senator insisted
that the boy was all right at heart
"And 1 have no doubt" he added, that
Tom will pull up when he reaches the
age of discretion"
Yes" rejoined Mr.. Quay's friend,
but what would you call the age of
discretion?"
AS a rule" answered the Senator,
Il should say that a young fellow has
reached the age of discretion when he
removes from his walls the pictures of
actresses and substitutes therefor
portrait of his wealthy bachelor uncle"
Last winter man went all the way
from Pittsburg to Washington to see
Senator Quay, about politics and to
learn his views regarding the situation
IN Allegheny county, says the Phila-
delphia North American. He went to
Quay's house, accompanied by friend.
Tney were shown into the library,
where Quay sat reading a book.
What are you going to do about
Allegheny county?" said the visitor.
Quay looked up from his book and
SdlQ DldI1Qly.
These are the best poker stories
ever saw. Have you read them?"
The visitor did not remember having
done so.
Well, read this one" said Quay. He
held the book before the eyes of the as
tonished man and watched him closely
as he started at the beginning. Pretty
soon the visitor skipped from one page
to another.
Don't do that" said Quay. The
story is well worth reading, and if you
skip any, part of it you lose some of
the best points
The reading continued, and the Sena-
tor kept his eyes glued on the others
face. Every now and then the reader
attempted to skip whole paragraphs,
but Quay caught him each time and
reproved him gently. 1t was due to the
story that every word of it be read, he
insisted.
The reader under the circumstances
could not have told whether he was
reading English or .Sanscrit or whether
the story was about poker or the latest
achievement of Japanese civilization.
But Quay kept him at his task until
il was finished. Then, with great
assumption of cordiality, Quay de-
clared the story one of the best he
had ever read, shook hands with both
his visitors, and bowed them out.
His chief caller had not got beyond
his first question. The second man
had not opened his mouth, and they
left with a full appreciation of the fact
that they had been the victims of
Quays sardonic humor, and that the
Senator himself had probably enjoyed
their dIsoornfitura immensely.

ARE THE HOTEL RATES RESPON-
SIBLE.

A few days ago Secretary Shaw
wrote to Mr.. Francis, president of the
st. Louis Exposition. intimating that
he was getting a little anxious about
the governments moneys, 600, 900
which is to be paid back out of the
gate receipts from mopth to month.
The first payment is to be made on
June 15 and is to be 40 per cent. of
the receipts between June l and that
date.
Mr.. Francis notified Secretary Shaw
that there was no occasion for him to
worry; that the contract with the gov
eminent would be faithfully kept. The
Secretary isn't worrying for fear that
there will be a failure to keep the
contract, but because he sees that the
40 per cent. of the gate receipts which
are to be paid next "Wednesday
isn't going to go far towards wiping
out the expositions obligation to the
government.
AS a matter of fact the attendance
thus far hasn't been up to Secretary
Shaw's expectat ions, although it may
be satisfactory TO Mr.. Francis. In his
letter to Mr.. Francis, Secretary Shaw
wanted to know why it was that the
exposition management didn't show
more enterprise and advertise the at
fractions of the great fair. He said
he saw but little mention of it IN the
Eastern newspapers, or, for that mat
ter. the papers of any part of the coun-
try. except st. Louis.
Mr.. Francis said he thought the
newspapers had been and were doing
the square thing by the fair, though
perhaps he would be glad if they would
say more about the attractions of the
fair and less about the rates charged
by some of the hotels. From all ac-
counts it is now possible to get good
meals and rooms at very reasonable
rates. but on the first days of the fair
there were stories of hotel rates that
were calculated to keep everybody
away from st. Louis. 1t is probable
that MIR. Francis and the managers
generally discovered that if they were
to have receipts at the fair at all COM
mensurate with the fairs expenses and
debts there would have to be some
thing done in regard to hotel rates. So
the rates are now said to be reason
able and satisfactory. But as the out
look now is, the government isn't go
ing 10 get its money as soon as it
thought it would, if. In fact, it ever
gets all of it.

A new story about Mark Twain has
just come out in the New York Sun.
1t seems that in the year 1851 Maj
Daulton set type on the Hannibal
CMo.) Union for Orion Clemens. an
elder brother of Mark Twain. Mark
was a printer boy in the Office of the
Union then. few weeks ago Maj
Daulton told some "reminiscences of
Twain. Said the major:
what l remember most particular
ly about Sam is that he could get more
ink and grease on him for the amount
of work he did than any man in the
shop. He had holy horror of Sunday
school and church, and generally went
fishing or swimming on the day of
rest.

Gus story that he ever told in his
printer days. Truth is don't think he
was overly bright.

don't think it's much of a book. Do
you?
Sam said he edited the paper, but
1 never struck any of his copy while
/ worked on it. 1t was a tremendous
surprise to me to see him forging to
the front in after years as a man of
letters. Guess the gift came to him
when he was out in the West.
1T certainly hadn't shown any in
dications of lighting on him when he
was at Hannibal. He wanted to be a
pilot. The real halo of glory in those
days, in the eyes of youth, surrounded
steamboat men. They were the real
kings of the earth.
Sam wanted to be a pilot. I decid-
ed to be a captain. Jim Wolf, the

FREE WIRELESS TELEGRAPHY.


1t is the understanding that the gov
eminent contemplates monopolizing
seacoast wireless telegraphy, and will
place it under control of the Navy De-
partment. The details of the scheme
are now being worked out under the
Nancy of the Bureau of Equipment.
The reason for this step is that in time
of war independent wireless stations
might and probably would seriously in
terfere with government messages to
and from the warships, and that even
in times of peace such interference
would be apt to result in difficulties
more or less serious. Taking eXclu
sive control of the wireless system on
the coast is held to be in line with the
feet systems of tuning" the apparatus
at the various stations might enable
military and commercial messages to
be transmitted in the same wireless
territory at the same time, still the
menace of interference would always be
present; the commercial stations would
be in position to intercept or interfere
with military messages at any time
the operators might desire to do so. By
way of compensating the public, the
sages shall be handled free bv govern
ment stations. The government now
has sixteen stations on the Atlantic and
Gulf coasts, two on the Pacific coast,
two in the West Indies and three in
the American islands of the Pacific,
and it has acquired sites for the erec-
ton of about as many more stations.
Within a years time it is expected that
there will be between forty-five and
fifty stations under Navy Department
supervision.
The wisdom of opening the govern
ment stations to free service may be
questioned. With free service it is al
most certain that a mass of unimpor-
tant, even frivolous. messages would
be offered for transmission. Every
traveller by sea on ship equipped with
wireless apparatus would be wanting TO
send messages to friends and acquaint-
ances on shore. Thus it is likely that
the legitimate and important messages
would be delayed. A small fee or toll.
however, would probably remedy that
matter. Then there should be consid-
cred the fact that several expensive
stations have been already erected by
private concerns and are now in serv-
ice. 1t would hardly be fair to the pri-
vate investors to render their property
useless, unless a fair compensation
were paid for it.

A Small Boys Diary.

There is a certain nine-year-old kid in
this city who is keeping a diary, says
the Philadelphia Telegraph. The book
was given him last Christmas by a
relative, aud his father had forgotten
all about it until he accidentally found
the volume the other day. Curious
to see what his small son had written
in 1t, he opened the book and found
that the diary had been faithfully kept.
Here are few of the entries:

Chicago has had to give up her sane
Fourth of July scheme. An associa-
ton was formed some months ago for
tbs purpose of preventing the promis-
cuous discharge of fireworks through
out the city by supplying the boys with
explosives, to be detonated in the parks
under the supervision of careful men
designated for the purpose. A fund of
$4,000 was wanted, and public sub
scription lists were opened. Only about
$4,000 has been subscribed, therefore
the association has called the scheme
off. Chicago, in consequence, will have
the same kind of Fourth of July that
she has heretofore experienced but not
enjoyed.
