Eating With the Knife.
pm the Washington Herald.

From the Washington Herald
 The Baltimore Sun, not content with feloniously and mallciously assauting the humble but humane and gentle pumpkin pie, defends the man who eats with his knife to the all but total exclusion of fork, spoon, or ladle.
 Says our Maryand contemporary:
 Eating with the knife harms no one It gives the eater courage, a steady hand. and quick eye. It gives the spectator a gentle and salubrious thrill Only the social purist Is outraged-and the social purist has no rights worth discussing"
 We admit that we fail to follow the mental gyrations of the Sun when It dis cusses matters gastronomic; that is to say, we fall to follow that section of it's makeup exclusive of the Bentztown Bard. Surely it will find very few in this land willing to fall in behind It's lead In the matter of eating with the knife. Instead of giving the spectator "a gentle and salubrious thrill" as our mis- guided contemporary ayers, it gives him distinct shock of such violence that he cannot suppress shudder To eat pie, dumplings, or mashed potatoes with the knife Is bad enough to eat green peas, spinach, or noodle soup thus is nothing short of barbarous. Even chop-sticks beat a knife in such emergencies
 lnSleau or encouraging eating WllH the knife, this Maryland advocate should ad- wise the enactment of stern regulations prohibiting 1t. Something more than "a steady hand and a quick eye Is involved in the gentle art of decorous eating. If dining were a mere matter of packing away food. quickly and dexterously, per haps the Suns idea might possess some merit worth considering. It Is not, how ever, all of dining to eat, nor all of eating to gobble. As clean nay, spot less-llnen, bright and sparkling glass and silver, or more modest table equip ment, as the case may be, are inds- pensable to the full enjoyment of the meal, so well-bred, conventional, if you will, table manners are likewise essential.
 Abas the knife eaters They spoil even so good @ thing as genuine and glorious pumpkin pie-which all will agree, is as nearly able to stand on its merits in the face of the most adverse conditions as anything else known to cooks of the right persuasion.

Men With False Hair.
From London Tit-Bits.

IOll lJOHuOu lil-DltS.
 There are more bald-headed young men in the higher circles, said supplier of hirsute deficiencies the other day, than very little of it is revealed to the curious diately above the forehead, which leaves a triangular space, or on the center of the head. The first place is very easily concealed by a patch, which looks as natural as the real thing.
 These patches are readily adjusted, and may be brushed in any style. They are rather expensive, though-that is, If a man desires something which will com pletely baffle the attempts of the suspi- cious at detection-and they cost from 95 to f30, according to size and finish. I could name twenty young men who sport" these patches, and whose hair is universally admired by the fair sex.
 Concerning that particular spot on the top of the head where the hair Is espe- cially fieeting, any number of men whose ages range between 9 and 70 are so deco rated. They do not cost so much as the first-named patches, but are just as easily adjusted and present the same impenetra- ble finish.
 There are not so many complete wigs sold as there were twenty years ago; in fact, 1t is hard to get q wig which does not give itself away" and this is worse than thin hair or badness.
 The color mostly in vogue concerning wigs is dark brown, for most men have that color of hair. Black-haired and ex- tremely light-haired men seldom become bald at an early age. When they do, 1t Is generally on the center of the head.

A Social Slumber Party.

From the Anthony (Mo.) Republican.
 An Anthony girl gave slumber party. in which all the young ladies in lace nightgowns were stretched in ser- ried rows across the parlor floor. A light was left burning for fear of burg lars, so when the girl of the house slipped out. put on her brothers heavy shoes, stamped up the walk and knocked heavily on the door, the vision of stampeded, snow-clad girls falling over the furniture, themselves and the hems of their long nigh dresses tickled a neighbor so much he absent minded ly put the lighted end of his cigar in his mouth while enjoying the scene.

 TO BE RECRUITED
Announcement From Washington That All Negroes In Service VIII Be
 Sent to the Philippines.

Houston Tex, March 27.-Announce- ment was made at the local recruiting station that orders have been received from the war department in Washington instructlng that no more negroes will be accepted for service in the army.
 Announcement was also made that all negro troops in the United States will be dispatched forthwith to the Philippines.
 The Houston recruiting station has been foremost in the enlistment of negroes.
 It was stated at the war department today that the reason the order was issued dlseontinulng further recruitment of ne- groes is because the existing military ganization, authorized by Congress, has now been filled up to it's maximum including the battalion of the Twenty infantry, the members Of which were dis missed without honor as the result Of the Brownsville affair
 The department itself announced sev- eral months ago that all the negro troops of the United States, with small excep- ton, affecting some short time men and a few at the West Point Military aca- demy, had been ordered to the Philip pines and this order has been modified only so far as 1t affects the companies of the Twenty-fifth infantry. supposed to have some knowledge of the Brownsville affair, who may be wanted as witnesses in this country.

HEATED DEBATE IN
 CHAMBER DEPUTIES
On Disciplinary Measures Against General Bailloud for Speech Re-
 ferring to German War.

Paris, March G.-Interpellations in the chamber of deputies today crlticlsing the disciplinary measures against General Bailloud, who was transferred from the command of the Sixteenth corps to the army of the east for referring in a speech to the inevitable coming war with Ger many" when France would have an op portunity to win back Alsace and LOT raine," aroused a heated debate.
 In replying to the interpellaXons later General Picquart declared that real pat riotism did not consist in noisy demon- strations. We consider that the transfer of General Bailloud was fully justified and criticislng will not deter him from maintaining discipline in the army.
 Premier Clemenceau supported the war minister, saying it was not the generals duty to forecast a war with a friendly nation.
 Eventually the chamber, by 360 to 270 votes, adopted motion expressing con- fldence in the government

Common Sense Treatment for
 Consumption and Lung Troubles

There is a great deal appearing in print at present regarding the universal effort to check the increasing ravages of the dread disease of tuberculosis, commonly known as consumption.
 A noted doctor who has made this branch of human ailment his especial study and who conducted the famous open air camps for consumptives in the pine forests of Maine, in a recent inter- view gave some very interesting com treatment of consumption is very simple, but that it must be continuous and dili- gently pursued by the patient, and if this is done 1t is sure to cure in the primary stages and frequently even where far advanced. The main part of the treatment is exercise and the constant in- haling of pure fresh air into the lungs in such manner as to force it into the deepest cavity and air cells of that organ.
 This can be done by the habit of deep breathing, drawing in the abdomen and expanding the lungs to their fullest capac- ity and then exhaling slowly. This at first will cause little dizziness but with a few days practice will eD''rely disap- pear He also advises the use of mucous membrane stimulant and says for this latter there is nothing known to science to equal the oil obtained from the pine tree There is now an oil of this kind which is condensed and purihed. It Is known to the profession as the Con centrated oil of pine The doctor gives his famous formula for the use ot this oil

The Barnum of the middle ages was travelling buffoon, who went from place to place with two gymnasts and a tame bear. There were then no large cities to furnish Roman audiences, and no time to build stone amphtheatres in any case. People built stone churches instead. The flipfap artist was a wanderer, but he did not wander alone. The King himself travelled to eat his taxes where they were raised, for where now grain is brought to the stomach, then the stomach went to the grain. And the snowman travelled, too. and pitched his ring in a field or an inn yard. A fair or royal progress was his opportunity.
 Multiply the travelling troupe by four or five, provide tent and few carloads of animals, and you have the primitive modern circus; and no boy that ever got up at 8 a. m. to watch 1t come into town, that saw the elephant occasionally butt a wagon out of the mud, that as- sisted by his high approval the stretching and begging of the canvas, that carried his 25 cents in his mouth for greater safe ty and mourned because he had not 10 cents more to "stay afterward to the concert" can go to see d Barnum and Bailey show without a sigh for the good old times.
 The elliptical show-ring of Roman times had to return for practical reasons; you can crowd five times as many people into the long tent as could get under the little round affair of the middle of the last cen tury. commercial age demands bigness But the golden period of the circus came, if you will believe men with memories. just when the strolling performer had graduated from the inn-yard to the little rouut tent.

combined with a blood stimulant and tonic. This formula Is very simple and the ingredients can be obtained from any good drug store and easily mixed at home.
 It is as follows: Half ounce of Con centrated oil of pine; two ounces of glycerine and a full half pint of first class whisky; these must be mixed by shaking them thoroughly and used in tablespoon doses every four hours" The only eau tion necessary to be sure to get the gen. uine "Concentrated" oil of pine. as there are numerous patent medicines sold under similar names put out by chemical firms. The Concentrated oil of pine is put up for dispensing in half ounce vials only and enclosed in a screw-top box, which is de- signed to retain all the original ozone
 This treatment if adhered to closely will give the patient every advantage of campers in the pine forest while enjoy ing all the comforts of home.
 The doctor also spoke very emphatically cough or cold to finger He says that the majority of cases of consumption don't have their origin in heredity, but In q neglected cold cough that has weak ened the lungs and rendered them unable to resist the attacks of the tubercle germ too, which exists in the air of our cities almost constantly. The doctor also states that the above formula is the best known to science for the quick relief and cure of colds and coughs, frequently effecting complete cure of cough or cold in . day If used as the prescription directs.

THE CIRCUS IS COMING.
Some Facts About the Institution That
 Brings Joy to the Young Folks.

Editorial in the New York World.
 Going to tho circus is a habit firmly fixed by more than 2000 years of indul- xence, although the travelling show is a recent institution.
 The Roman circus was first a horse race conducted in a course square at one end and rounded at the other, like the Harvard Stadium. The Circus Maximus held 25OO00 people, which makes the crowd at Belmont park look small.
 But horse racing where no one was hurt came to look tame to the Romans, and man-fights and man-and-beast lights were introduced in the circus, and after ward in the Colosseum, just as the mod ern audience demands it's Dip of Death. Wooden amphitheatres came first, but after one in Fidenae fell and killed or hurt E CO0 people-the figures, like those about ancient shows, were probably exagger- ated by press agents-stone ones came into fashion. The Colosseum was nearly four times as big as Madison Square Gar den. and would hold five times as many neon1e as it's arena was smaller in pro- nortion. Even little Pompeii, the size of Troy. had a stone amphitheatre twice as hio as the Madison Square. St. Augustine has testified to the passion for amphithe- atre shows among the later Romans. There were hundred or more such struc- tures all told, and some of them have heen in recent use bull fights and oth- er spectacles which carry on their an- eieut tradition

MEN FROM SMALL COLLEGES.
Remarkable Showing Set Forth in Sta
 tlstics of Graduates.

Guy Morrison Walker in Leslies Weekly.
 A recent examination of the member ship of college organization having over 10000 members, drawn form over sixty colleges and universities, disclosed some striking facts regarding the success at. tained by men from different colleges, and some limitations upon success peculiar to some professions. A table was prepared showing the total number of members drawn from each college and the number from each college who, according to pop ular judgment, had achieved success. The list of colleges was then arranged in order according to the number of successful men that each had contributed to the or ganization, and the first striking thing seen from the list was the fact that the three colleges at the head of the list which had the largest number of success ful members were De PauW university, Ohio Wesleyan university and Allegheny college, each of them comparatively small Methodist colleges in the Middle West. The first contributed seventy-one sue cessfrl members to the organization, the second fifty-three and the third forty four; while their percentages of success were respectively seventeen, thirteen and eleven.
 Out of the first dozen on the list ten were small church colleges and only two were state universities the University of Virginia being fourth on the list and h. diana university being ninth. Both of these institutions, however, have had, during most of their existence, compar- ativey small attendance, and have really been colleges of extremely high rank, in stead of universities. The other places were held as follows: Fifth. Washington and Jefferson college; sixth, Bucknell uni- versity; seventh. Dickson college; eighth, Northwestern university; tenth, Witten- berg college; eleventh, George Washing ton university, District of Columbia; twelfth, Lafayette college.
 The first large university in the list was the University of Pennsylvania in the thirteenth place, which, out of a member ship of 270 had contributed twenty mem- bers, or about 71a per cent to the list of prominent and successful men. Next to 1t in the fourteenth place, was John Hop kins university, which out of a total membership of 133 drawn from a college attendance never more than one-fourth or one-fifth as large as that at the Univers- Vt of Pennsylvania, had contributed the same number to the list of successful members, so that its percentage of suc- cess was twice as great.

ROADS REFUSE A
 REVISION OF RATES
Finley and Smith Deny Dlsorimins- tions In Reply to Petition of
 Cincinnati Shippers.

Cincinnati, March H.-The petition of the Cincinnati shippers to the Queen and Crescent and Louisville and Nashville railroads, for a revision of rates, that would remove alleSed determinations in rates, has been definitely refused by both lines, according to reports published here today.
