board of regents to learn it's business.

The Old Roman Epicure..

Almost any dish which had to ree
0mmend It rarity, costliness, indigesti
bility and, to our way Of thinking. nas,-
man epicure. And IL he were unable
to made 1t costly any other way he
would add powdered precious stones or
gold dust. Nero dined on one occasion
from peacock which was sprinkled
with diamond dust, and specimens Of
that bird dressed with gold or with
crushed pearls were by no means a
rarity at the triclinia OF the moneyed
Romans. A dish Of parrots tongues
was a great delicacy. But dish Of
parrots tongues which had been capa-
BILE, when in their proper place. of
framing words was Of almost meal
culable value, which increased in a d.
rect ratio with the vocabularies of the
defunct parrots. Another bird for
which the Roman epicure was in the
habit OF paying fabulous prices was
the phenecoptrix, which Is believed to
have been the ptarmigan. It had its
home in the most northerly parts of
Scotland and Norway, and as this
made it hard to get at the Romans APP
preciated 1t all the more and put 1t in
the same rank with ostriches, buzz
yards and peacocks. The tongues of
these birds were specially prepared, to-
gether with the brains, and took the
place which hors d'oeuyre would now
take.

the Hotel Griffou in West Ninth street
and then committed suicide. Hampton

they had been seen together many
times during the past month. They
had been at the hotel where the
tragedy occurred for twenty-four
hours. Whether or not the tragedy
was the result of pact between the

not been determined, but the circum-
stances seem to show that the young
woman had agreed to die with her
companion
Hampton leaves a wife and two
childen. Miss Taczkow, who was
Twenty-Five years of age, lived with
her father and invalid mother. She
was employed in Fifth avenue de-

vlcToRY FOR THE GOVERNMENT.
Contracting Company Found Guilty Of
Violating Eiqt1t-Hour Law.

4 Z
Cincinnati, Oct. 29.-The first test
Of the federal eight-hour-day law
nere ended in victory for the gov.
eminent. After being out only fifteen
minutes the jury in the United States
court found the Sheridan-Kirk Con-
tracing company guilty OF violating
the law in the construction of the big
ONO river dam at Fernbank, nine
miles below this city. The trial was
holly contested by the defense. Man
ayers of employment agencies testified
that it was impossible to get men for
the pay that would be given them for
an eight-hour day.
Several weeks ago over 200 of the
company's men did not appear for
duty and the company was rendered
practically helpless. Before the gov.
eminent decided to make test case
workmen on the dam and locks were
permitted to work as many hours as
they pleased. The majority worked
from ten to twelve hours per day and
were paid at the rate of 20 cents per
hour. No sooner had the hours been
cut than the laborers began to leave,
claiming that they could make only
$l.6O day on the dam and could
make more elsewhere.

Hours of sleep.

The belief that the hours Of sleep
should be artifcially restricted is con-
rary to ordinary good sense If the
human body does not need sleep for
the upbuilding Of its tissues it viii! not
call for it. A rule of health which can
not be wrong is to sleep II possible as
long as any inclination for it exists.
The erroneous view on this subject is
undoubtedly due to the fact that when
the mind and body are thoroughly rest
ed it is often difficult to arouse the
mind from it's comfortable lethargy
On the other hand, the man who is
under a mental strain and sleeps only
five or six hours at night is keen and
alert soon after awakening. But it is
an unhealthy activity. His nerves are
alta high tension. He is on edge so to
speak. Such strain long continued
results inevitably in a nervous break
down.-Cleyeland Leader

lnasmuch as the duke, thanks to
Vanderbilt generosity, has an income
Of $4,000 year 1t is believed he
will be able to keep the wolf from the

Duchess Retains Children.
The duchess retains possession Of
the two children, the Marquis of
Blandford and Lord Ivor Spencer
Churchill, who are nine and eight
years old respectively. The duke, of
course, retains Blenheim, the historic
family home of the Churchills, while
for the time at least the duchess will
. keep their town house-Sutherland
house-as her home. The duchess is
now in Paris.
Not only King Edward but the whole
Marlborough family has worked ear
nestly to prevent the separation of the
duke and duchess, but without effect.
People intimately acquainted with
the Marlborough household intimate
that the friction became more acute
owing to the sighting, unsympathetic
attitude of the duke since the duchess
deafness became more pronounced
She made frequent visits to specialists
On the Continent for treatment and the
duke habitually remained behind, en-
toying the gay life of the metropolis.
According to Reynolds Newspaper
the duke, In the opinion of the duch-
ess, paid greater attention than neces-
sary to young girl friend of his
wife's.
The duchess has the warmest SYM
pathy of every one in London con-
Versant with the situation. Since her
arrival here as bride eleven years
hgo she has made herself most pop
alar. She has been an active sup
porter of charities, hard worker for
the benefit Of the tenants on the Blen-
helm estate and general favorite in
society, her wealth enabling her to
revive the splendors of the somewhat
neglected palace of Blenheim.
