EverN public school in Montgomery will open for work tomorrow morn- ing. Superintendent c. L. Floyd saio yesterday that the prospects are TOT the largest enrollment in the history of the city Every school. both whlte and regroes. has been put in repair and 1t Is expected that everyone VIII be filled to It's capacity.
 The elementary schools for white pn- pills will open at 8:45 o'clock. the high schools will open at o'clock ana the negro schools will begin work at s:io o'clock It will be seen that there IS a half hour difference between the tune that the white elementary schools ana the negro schools will open. This dit- ference Is made in order to-avoid any disturbance that might occur between the white and negro pupils. These hours for opening will be observed daily by the pupils until further no- tice but it Is customary during the spring months to have the opening hour little earlier. The elementary white schools will be dismissed daily at 2:l5 o'clock. the high schools at 2:2O and the negro schools at 2:45 O'clock
 Superintendent Floyd said yesterday that no vast Improvements have been made on any of the school buildings during the past year. Minor repairs have been made in number of them. making them more comfortable. and paved sidewalks have been put around the schools on Sayre Street. West End. Bellinger Heights. Highland Park and Capitol Hill .thus giving paved side
 walks to every white school in the city. - Tie opening of the schools will show an overflow at the Sayre Street School
 but just how great the surplus will a- ut--z yesterday. The overflow has been brought about by the abandonment of a frame building corner of Sayre and

 has himself taken treatment and pee
 Tn the midst of Chicago's skyscrapers stands a quaint saloon where more merchant princes quench their thirst daily than in any similar resort in the great Western metropolis. The place is noted for its fine wines and liquors and the attractiveness of its interior.
 Behind the palatial Ibar stands a man whose personality is even more attract i've than the famous resort where ne mixes drinks that appeal to the most fastidious palates in the world.
 He welcomes the visitor with kind ly smile that beams with benevolence. His splendid physique and erect car riage denotes that he Is every inch manly man. Even piousness enters in- to his makeup so strongly that IL IS noticeable at glance.
 Manliness, piousness and benevolence have been essential to his history. for he is no lesser person than the ex- manager and head bar tender of the famous New York Subway Tavern. opened and blessed by Bishop Potter.
 The most striking characteristic of this interesting character Is that he IS surrounded by liquors and beers all free for the taking" that he is invited by customers no less than hundred times a day to have something" yet never touches thing and declines all offers in q positive, polite fashion that denotes frmness and a will power or self-control that is the envy of all who know him. especially those who are struggling unsucoessfully with their un- controllable appetite for drink.
 This remarkable man was asked how he resisted drink so successfully. He was too busy to respond and said the statement should be prepared with great care as to detail. That night be wrote the following statement:
 Five weeks ago I was drinking twenty drinks per day, nervous. weal and couldn't sleep.

Understrappers Expensive.


 Speaking about travelling expenses and tips a perusal of some of the re- ports of the disbursing officers of the various departments and of Congress shows that the biggest bills for travel ling expenses are as rule made by understrappers. For instance in look ing over report of the Secretary of the Senate I found where Senator Cockrell of Missouri, had expended $45 to attend the funeral of the late Sem ator McMillen, whereas an unknown att tache of the office of the Sergeant at Arms of the Senate had run up bill of over $200 for the same trip. His meals cost the government more than $1.5o apiece. Porterage, hack hire, etc., helped to swell the account. This Is but one instance of many might cite.
 When President McKinley's funeral train went to Canton every porter on the train was given tip of $i0 and Congress passed the claim. Tips have had a legal status for about thirty years.
 A Southern City.
 One never realizes so much that Washington is a Southern city as he does when the band plays Dixie or something else happens to evoke cheers for the South. Even when the G. A. R. had its last encampment here, and when Roosevelt was inaugurated, Dixie brought forth Tar more cneerS than the Star Spangled Banner or any other na- tional air This week Washington has been attending Louis Evan Shipmans new war time play. "On Parole" This is the first war play written from a Southern standpoint and this was its first week on the boards. It will un- doubtedly be a success North and South Washington audiences have gone wild all week over it. The Southern char Aa horn and the whole there is realism in 1t that gives the rising generation such look into the old Virginia aristocratic home as they have never before had. It IS a play that not less from the strength of It's cast of characters than from the ldelicately wrought plot and the senti, ments to which 1t gives expression VII commend an unusual amount of inter est wherever 1t goes.

The kOwtOw.

The kOwtOw pronounced ker toe,
and meaning literally to bow the head
is used as a form Of thanks, and Is not
a manner of greeting. The actors kow
tow to their majesties at the beginning
and end Of each performance at the
theater. first to thank for the honor
they are to receive in being allowed to
act before them, and at the end to thank
for the privilege granted. The officials
bow the head" to thank for an audi
ence or any favor or gift they have
received or are to receive from their
majesties. The kowtow Is not only
made by people at the palace and at
imperial audiences it rs sometimes
used by equals to each other as a prop
er manner Of thanking for some great
favor. To make the kowtOw, the per-
son kneels three times, and each time
bows his mead three times, touching
the ground with it. The kowtOw could
not be made by foreigner without
looking most awkward and appearing
most servile, but the Chinese do it with
dignity, and it is neither ungraceful
nor degrading. 1t Is a time -honOred
manner Of giving thanks, a Chinese ira
dition surviving from a time when the
courtiers were perhaps like slaves; but
at present it does not imply any slave
like inferiority on the part Of him who
performs it.-From Katharine a. Carrs

"FAKEe."

Not long ago an impecunious house
holder saw an advertisement which
promised, on the receipt Of certain
sum Of money, to demonstrate sure
method Of saving gas bills, and to re-
veal secret Of how to make money
fast. Both Of these necessities pressed
sore on the householder, and he sent
on the required fee. In response to
the first promise came wire bill file;
In answer to the second, the advice to
put glue on a dollar bill and stick 1t
to the wall. In both these cases tho
fools were answered according to their
folly, but it is not always the verdant
individual who gets taken In. Mr..
Andrew Lang, In the Independent,
gives some examples Of another class
Of fakes"
Collectors Of antiques have to be all
the time on their guard against fraud.
Even then they are often deceived.
Artists exist who can impose on the
very elect A well-knOwn collector had
a precious box Of rare enamel. He
sent 1t to Vienna to be repaired, and
the ingenious mender fitted 1t with
new lid. Then he put n new lower
part to the original lid, and two col
lectors were made happy.
A gem cutter took modern gold
Greek ring, recut the stone with an
intaglio of an important subject, made
a turkey swallow the ring, and after
some time killed the turkey. The resi-
dence in the birds crop had endowed
the gem with all the marks OF age.
A scholar in little-known part OF
Dalmatia was seeking gold coins and
ornaments Of the old Servian dynasty.
A dealer came to him with n beauti-
fully wrought cruciiix which he claimed
to be a genuine antique In examining
the article with glass, the student
came across tiny inscription, and bet
ter versed than the dealer gave him
credit for being, he read it aloud. This

doing. At one time number Of lead
coins were put on the market rs an
tiques. 1t was discovered that the Ara
bic numerals with which they were
dated were of fashion not invented at
the supposed time Of their making.
Collectors, young and old, trained and
unframed, are constantly being taken
In. Even museums themselves are not
free from fakes.

MuzzIe for Horses.

Horses sometimes act dlsagreeable
when working in the orchard or when
cultivating corn or grain by trying to
get mouthful Of the growing crop.
The best way to overcome such habit
Is to muzZle the horse, but in doing
this extreme care should be used that
the horse Is not injured nor seriously
discommoded by the muzzle. Take
heavy white canvas, such as grain bags
are made from. Cut this In eighteen

Cood Ratjons for Cows.

The following ration and its varia-
t;ons or substitutes have been found
profitable, yet not expensive: The first
one is perhaps more nearly balanced
ration than the other. 1t consists of
twenty pounds Of clover hay. eight
mounds of corn and cob meal and two
nounds of cottonseed meal. The other
is composed of ten pounds of alfalfa or
of cowpea hay, ten pounds OF corn
stover. eight pounds of corn and two
nounds of bran. In sections where
neither clover, alfalfa or cowpea hay
ia obtainable, and a mixed OF timothy
bay or corn fodder is used, the bal

the quantity of the concentrated foods.
