Hot to Discriminate "When Ordering From a Bill of Fare. WHAT OKE SEES AT TABLES D'HOTE In KITTEN rOB TBZ DISPATCH.l N traveling a good deal by land and sea in my own country and conn tries mine by adop tion, I hare noticed with some curiosity the different wajs in which people eat, and the traits or character that em ployment calls forth. JE3 Eating in public is a terrible ordeal to many people, and it is certain that one can judge more of a person's social training at a first interview by observing him at table than in any other way. A rather eccentric friend of mine, wishing to engage a private secretary, invited each candidate to dinner before deciding his claims. One of the most admirable bits of vanity ol Louis XIV, grandest and smallest of mon arch, was his passion lor eating in pnblic; it was always possible for any decent person to gain admittance to the gallery overlooking the King's breakfast room, and nothing pleased him more than to see a crowd gazing in respectful admiration through the gilded J M$M J s? Jdrt. Frank Leslie. screen to observe the dexterity with which he struck off the bead of his egg, and the nicety with which he absorbed it? contents. He had no fork, untortunate man, because they were only jut struggling into existence, and even a century later poor Lonis XVI preferred to take the chicken joints in his fingers and tear off the meat with his teeth, while Mane Antoinette looked scornfully on and wondered how a man whose head was tottering could still care for his stomach. But men do. Ton don't see them lose their appetites or look with languid indiffer ence upon delicate meats because their hearts are sore; if it is the liver, or the stomach, or an over-night headache, I grant you the masculine appetite may fail, but not for sentimental troubles. 'Well, the grand monarque ate in public to show how delicately, how scientifically, how gracefully he ate, with what care and skill be conducted himself even while at tending to the merely animal wants of his being. THE A1IEKICAN MONARCH. The sovereien people of these United States also eat in pnblic; more so, perhaps, than any other nation in the world, for the English carry their national reserve along with them when they travel, and if a pri vate dining-room can be obtained they se cure it, or a lunch is served in the sacred privacy of a first-class railway carriage, or in the private coach on deck. The French partake of light refreshments in pnblic a good deal, but the pension with them is not so popular as the boarding-house with us, and one does not see whole families, as in our country, settle down permanently to a course of public life, where not only meals, but domestic difficulties, courtships, quarrels and most other incidents or life are kindly offered to public inspection and amusement. The Germans are an essentially domestic people, and al though when one does watch their public processes of eating it is rather an alarming sight, it is not one often obtrnded upon our sensibilities. No, it is the American people that, each man a monarch in his own opin ion, exercises its sovereign richt of calling the public to assist at its feeding, and not always, I grieve to say, to admire either its dexterity or elegance. Ve travel incessant ly, we do not care for private dining rooms unless we entertain a private party; we do not take our own carriages if we have them, nor do we adopt upon our railways coaches small enough to be secured for one party, unless, indeed, we are magnates and travel in our own "Pullman," as I most tenderly remember having done when I visited Cali fornia some years since. Yes, while upon our travels we eat in pub lic naturally, when in foreign countries choosing the table d'hote almost as a matter of course, and returning to what we call home, we generally make it in a hotel or boarding house, where, according to our means and our locality, we may enjoy the very perfection of good living, as I am fort unate enough to do, or we may be obliged to put up with the disagreeables of a third rate boarding house, as I have had to do. lint at either ot these extremes and all the way between, we eat in public, and all tbe world may, if it takes the trouble to notice, see just how and what we eat, so that as traveling generally deprives me of an ap petite not very robust at the best, and as life has trained me to quick observance, I have allowed myself to notice a good deal, and, let me contess it a little shamefacedly, I am always rather pleased when I am placed at a big table filled with traveling companions, rather than a little one with onlv mv own nartywho are generally more pleasing than I amusing. THE FEENCH STYLE. The dinners in large hotels and boarding houses are nowadays served in the French fashion, with French names for the different courses, but a Frenchman never expects to do more than taste each dish as it comes before him in due order. He "opens his appetite," as the Spaniard says, with an olive, a shrimp or a raw oyster with lemon and ice. He takes a spoonful or two of soup, and perhaps a square inch of fish. He partakes sparingly ot an entree, coming, as its name implies, between the courses. He has a small slice of the roast, but does not heap his plate with every vegetable under the sun, to eat with it. The salad and bird make rather the point of his dinner, but a very little suffices him. He uses the sherbet to revive and freshen his palate after the heavy course, and prepare it to appreciate the more delicate flavors to come. He generally does not care for sweets, puddings and pastries, but likes some cool and juicy fruit and a little cup of strong, black coffee to finish with, and rises from the table fully fed and satisfied, but not gorged. Everything has been done decently and in order, and the process of eating has been, as far as possible, redeemed from its animal and humiliating character istics. How I am not saying that it is obligatory upon Americans to eat just as French peo ple do. We are (speaking impersonally) a more robust race than they, we have more money and spend it more freely, ve lire in a more exacting climate, and must live more rapidly in every way; consequently, we perhaps need, certainly demand, more and heavier food. For many of us, perhaps, the old English system of mighty joints, roasted or boiled, with their due complement of veg etables, and a "good, sensible pudding," as an. Englishmen I knew used to say, would be more satisfactory and more easily under stood. Tt is not my own taste, but it is an honest and harmless one, and anyone possessing it had better, if he is to dine at a public table, make friends with his waiter and, calmly ignoring the opening courses, have a double portion of the beef or the mut ton set before him with appropriate vege tables, and if this does not suffice, order it directly over again. Then some pudding or pie, also duplicated it desired, with an apple or pear at the end, will make out a plain, solid, hearty dinner, just such as our fathers and mothers or perhaps grandparents ate in their dav, before French "kickshaws" (as they artlessly pronounced quelque chose) came in fashion. It is not necessary, mv good, plain unpretending friend, to order everything upon the bill of fare, or to try to satisfy your healthy appetite with made dishes, whose names and whose composition are both foreign to you, nor need you fancy that people will laugh at you for following out your own simple tastes; they will be far more likely to laugh at you for pretending tastes which you have not and need not. LOVE AND TBUTFLES. To those who do wish to adopt foreign modes of eating, I would say that self con trol and abstemiousness at table are two of the most markod traits of French table manners, and might well be imitated among us. I do not mean refrain Irom eating what you honest desire, for a small appetite is no virtue, and its affectation is very absurd, but eat what you want with self control, and quietly, not trying to absorb with your eyes what you cannot consume with your mouth. However hungry you may be, do not forget the courtesies of the table toward others, do not forget to finish your sentence, or to re ply to yonr neighbor's remark,because some appetizing dish makes its appearance. Don't, above all, gloat over yonr food like Dickens' fat boy. I have once or twice seen a glance come into eyes which had been looking tender things into my own, a look which convinced me that, however sensi tive that man's heart might be, his stomach was a good deal more so, and when he has resumed the tender demonstrations at a later hour I have longed to inquire: "Do you love me as well as you do cock's combs with the truffles?" Tnen, if you wish to eat a dinner after the French fashion, respect the course. The gastronomic ideas of the great cooks and great eaters of the world are worth consid eration. Certain viands are suitable to eat before, and certain others after, the princi pal disb, and to invert their order, or to mix them all in a sort of promiscuous confusion is, to say the least, in had taste. If you wish to adopt the new fashions of feeding, adopt their spirit and their propriety. If you don't care for so much ceremony and thought, eat some simple dish and let the sequence of the courses alone. In honest, if somewhat rnde, phrase, don't allow your self to be a gourmand and a glutton. Mrs. JTbank Leslie. PEDAGOGUE AND PUPIL. The little girl ol Prof. McCargo's family Is lying seriously 111 with typhoid fever. Miss Maud McCoed, of the South school, has been absent, dne to indisposition, from school duties for several weeks. The Whittier School, on lit. Washington, will be opened to-morrow. In the evening a flag will be presented by the Jr. O. U. A. II. Supektntendent Ltjckey's semi-annual report is completed, but it will be a full month hence before the printers will have it ready for the public Prof. Fisher, of tbe Seventeenth ward schools, spent most ol his vacation In the monntains. Dnring the latter part of it he at tended tbe Bedford Connty Teachers' Institute. Miss Kate ScnuMAcnEit, of the Liberty school, was married dnring the week to Mr. F. Barrlonner. Miss Harrison, of the Mf- Wash. ington school, also durinc the week changed I her name to XI rs. Wilson McOairhan- I her name to Mrs. Wilson McGaghan. The pupils who made the reqnlred percent age in all but one study on the preliminary ex amination to High School will be re-examined to-morrowat9o'clockattneHighSchooL The pupils who were too ill to be on the regular ex amination also have the privilege of being present. The death of Mr. Joseph Kimtoel, which oc curred on Friday, removes one of the early Central Board of Education representatives. He was for nine years a member of the St Clair local School Board, and for six years represented that district In tbe Central Board of Education. The ringing of the school bell to-morrow will not only canse sorrow to the pnpils, bnt to tbe teachers as well. The Xmas vacation and its attendant enjoyments is bad medicine for tbe school element to go back to their tasks with cheerfulness, and it will take a few days for everyone to forget the jolly time he had. THE Pittsbnnr High School is to h ave a great department added to Its curriculum ot study. Through the generosity of the Wcstinghonse Electric Company, an electric plant is to be established at the High School, and its futnre graduates will have a knowledge of that subtle fluid which is causing scientists such dis agreement whether its current shall be con fined above or below ground. At the last meet ing of the High School Committee the West. ingbonse Electric Company made the offer of supplying a dynamo, together with lamps ana other appliances the whole valued at $3,000, as the foundation of an electrical de partment at the Pittsburg High School. A sub-committee consisting of Messrs. McKain, McKelvey and McCandless were appointed to consider this liberal offer. Tbe committee met on Friday evening and resolved to recommend to the Central Board the acceptance of tbe fVestinghonse gift, and, in addition, to appro priate the sum of SLfiOO to f nrther complete the electric plant. Prof. Sneer, the present in structor of physics, will have charge of the new department, and it is mainly to his efforts that tbe Westingboue Company made its offer. After its formal acceptance by the Central Board preparation will at once be gin for the establishment of tbe new branch, and ltisexpected that by April theHlgb School pupils will begin their Initiatory coaching of tbe feats of the liquid lightning. The need of such a valuable branch to the High School has long been palpaMe, and tbe educators are overjoyed at the introduction of this Important branch. Small Profit Create a monopoly.

Might be Averted bj the Clearing House. A COJfSEETATIVE VIEW OF BUSINESS iwarrrEN fob the dispatch. : One of the most reliable indicators of business conditions in any given locality is the record pf the bank Clearing House of tbe city which is the financial center of that locality. The increase and decrease of busi ness is marked by this agency with an accu racy that is astonishing to those not familiar with Clearing House methods. The cer tainty and accuracy of these records must in due course of time cause them to be studied more carefully and be generally accepted and watched as veritable barometers of trade. In the whole list of clearing houses in the "United States there is but one more import ant than Pittsburg in the view above ex pressed. That one is New York. In vol ume of business the clearing houses of Bos ton, Philadelphia, Chicago, St. Louis, San Francisco and New Orleans at least show more largely than Pittsburg, but none of these are so important in indicating the actual condition of trade. This arrises from the fact that Pittsburg is the financial center ot an industrial and manufacturing territory, tbe productions of which underlie the value of all other com modities. Its productions of iron and coal are especially referred to. An advance in pig iron means an advance in all other com modities affected by general markets. A decline in pig iron indicates a decline in prices generally. Depression or activity in iron is one of the chief factors in denoting depression or activity, in all other branches of commerce and industry. The Pittsburg Clearing House is not an indicator of prices but it is an indicator of volume or activity in commercial affairs in the chief iron producing territory of the United States. This Clearing House was organized in the year 1865, and the amount of its exchanges in 18(56 was $83,731,212 17. There was an annual increase in the aggregate of ex changes until 1873, in which year they reached the respectable total ot $295,754, 858 83, an advance within seven vears of about 212,000,000. AN INDICATOR OP TKOUBLE. Business men will remember that a com mercial revulsion or panic occurred in the last named year, seriously affecting the iron industry, bringing on industrial depression which found its worst phases ontwardly in the general discontent of wage earners, the lawlessness and rioting of 1877. The Clearing House was the sure, but silent indicator of this, as we may glance back over the record and see. The exchanges in the Clearing House gradually fell off annually until in 1878, in which year they were onlv $189,771,695 27, or about $106, 000,000 Ie'ss than in 1873. The effects of the panic lasted five years. This period at the close or 1878, which marked the end of financial stagnation arising from commercial depression, was one of the most interesting in the financial his tory of the nation, owing to the pendency ot resumption of specie payments, which was regarded as an experiment, even a danger ous experiment by many. The prophets had been loud in their predictions that re sumption of specie payments would neces sarily be attended by a still greater decline in valnes, more terrible depression in trade and industry. There were reasons for thinking so, though the predictions were not fulfilled and some canse led to renewed j . j - -....-.: -e .::. confidence and a restoration ux ucuvity tinder which the exchanges of the Clearing Honse showed an increase in 1879 over those of 1878, and the annnal increase continued until 18S3, when they reached $197,653,962 43 for the year an amonnt then unprecedented. This high tide will be observed by those who follow tbe figures carefully to be about $202, 000,000 greater than the high tide of 1S73; and as the panic of IfcSt did not occur until May, dur ing which time the exchanges were still in creasing, it is safe to pnt the annnal excess of exchanges at the period of panic in ISSlat $220,000,009 at least greater than the high mark at tbe occurrence of the panic of 1873. Tbe panic in May, 1SUJ, was not so lasting in its effects, bnt it was sharper and more finan cially severe than that of 1873, as indicated by tbo Clearing House exchanges, which fell off to $356,171,592 S3 in 1S85, or a decrease of abont $111,500,000 within two years. CONTINUED PROSPERITY. Since then there has been an uninterrupted annnal increase of exchanges at the Clearing House, those of 1889 being -$631,080,350 93, the largest year's business in the history of the institution. Large as it is, tbe total for the year is but $156,126,338 0 in excess of tbe high yearl8S3. or $65,000,000 short of what has proved tbe danger line in the past, , If the figures be compared during past two years an increase will be observed annually of more than $70,000,000 and less than $75,000,000. Hence with tbe normal growth of activity the deficiency between the present state of tbe ex changes and that which may from experience show a danger line is slightly less than a year. Tbe consideration of the volume of exchanges at the clearing houses in connection with panics may be regarded by many as more spec ulative and theoretical than practical, and the data thns far collected may be meager, but the connection between them above pointed ont can be examined at least by the curious and followed in experience as a test of practica bility. Clearing houses are bnt historically new, and all which mav be learned from them has not been ascertained. Wbenthe panic of 1857 oc curred the New York Clearing Honse was but three years old, and its figures In that connection conld amount to more than little by way of demonstra tion. A banker writing in 1858 and trying to show the connection between these subjects paid no attention to tbe volume of exchanges, whatever. He had a theory that contraction of loans was what had caused the panic In 1857. And, as may be easily inferred by practical bankers, be had very little difficulty in showing that the loans were largely reduced between the time tbe Ohio Life Insurance and Trust Company closed its branch in New York in August. 1857 and tbe general suspension which occurred in October of that year. Calling in of loans is the natural coarse to pursue unaer such conditions, whether it be tbe most politic or not. Had each stood by tbe other by means of the Clearing Honse and assisted the commercial interests when most in need instead of withdrawing assistance at tbe critical moment, panic might have been averted; or failing, all united In a common ruin, which followed anyway, is very evident, but that is not the subject under consideration now. HOW TO PREVENT PANICS. All panics are precededby inflations of credit In some or all directions. Business "getsgolrg too fast lor safety." Prices become unduly high under the influence of extraordinary de mand, generally speculative in its nature. The question remains whether tbe banks are true to their own interests and the trust which is reposed In them by the pnblic nnless they be gin to curtail their loans before the danger line has been reached. Is it not better to prevent than to cure the disease! If such combina tions as our Clearing Houses can be made ef ficient in preventing tbe consequences of infla tion to the limit of their united powers, could not the same united powers, if exercised early enough, be still more potent In preventing In flation? It seems to me so. Tbe great practical difficulty Is to know when inflation supervenes on a legitimate ad vance in activity. This may never be possible to ascertain to a certainty, but with careful comparison the volume of exchanges at tbe Clearing House must afford an indication. Every fall of tbe mercury in the barometer is not followed by a storm, and every increase of exchanges is not a matter of alarm, still the past has shown beyond question that tbe greatest heights ot Clearing House exchanges have immediately preceded panic; that every long established Clearing House shows in its range of exchanges points which are high and low, varying according to commercial conditions; these may De profitably studied as forecasts of financial weather in connection with other indications. 4 Local business is active, unusually so for this J Eeaiuu ui iuo , prices oi real estate are ad vancing under stimulation; the iron trade is prosperous, and every condition portends a boom that will be viewed with concern by strictly conservative minds, but In tbe absence of Influences unseen, the danger line will not be reached for several months yet.
