Soldiers Had to Eat Sheep.

The great Roman General Corbulo,
we are informed by Tacitus, was in
his Armenian campaign reduced to
extremities, his army having suf-
fered, not indeed from losses in bat
tie, but from being driven to satisfy
its hunger from Tic flesh of sheep.
To the average Briton, into whose
dietetic cult the mutton chop enters
so largely, this announcement must
seem inexplicable; SO much so that
he might be excused for thinking
lightly of the stamina or pluck of his
forefathers, who allowed themselves
to be conquered by soldiery for
whose stomachs the flesh of sheep
was too strong.
The fact is, however, as Tacitus
has stated it, and we know from
other authorities that animal food.
as a constant element in the Roman
soldiers fare, was found hurtful to
his health and efficiency. Caesar, in
his "Gallic War" tells the same
story.-London Lancet.

Their loads Of golden fruit
And brown pecans and vintage rare
And stores Of bulb and root;

And dashed with dusky green,

So tapped in memory, let me dream

Fair let the wide savanna gleam,
Soft let the south wind pour
Through mOsshung wood, DER marsh and

Oh, cool ripe melons heaped along

ing. the hour of the funeral service being at 8
am. Threats were muttered what they would
do if the order was not rescinded and a CON-
mittee was dispatched to the cardinals resi-
dence. While waiting the return Of the CON-
mittee the streets became blocked with crowds
of his practitioners. Talk of the priests suicide
was general. 1t is said he told many lie would
be dead by Thursday, the day of his expected
removal.

GIOLITTIs MINISTRY OVERTHROW


The Resignation of the Cabinet Announced
to the Italian Chamber of Deputies.
ROME, May 27.-Signor Giolitti, the new
prime minister, announced to the chamber OF
deputies today that the members Of the cabinet
had rendered their designations to King Hum
bert, but that his majesty had refused to ac-
cept them. He therefore asked the chamber to
pass the most urgent bills now before it and to
grant the government a vote on account for the
next six months.
The prime minister's announcement caused q
great sensation in the house. 1t is generally
taken to portend that the dissolution OF the
house is imminent. There is no doubt that the
resignation of the ministry was precipitated by
the vote taken in the house yesterday on
the question of confidence in the ministry. The
result a victory for the ministry, but the
margin was so close that had ten Of the thirty
eight who abstained from voting cast their
votes against the government the ministry
would have sustained defeat.
The new cabinet only defnitively formed
on May Is. and its practical overthrow has
therefore been matter of only q few days. The
preceding cabinet at the head of which was the
Marquis di Rudini, was defeated by majority
Of eight in May in its demand for vote of con-
idence.

dental contest. This is stated authoritatively
and with emphasis by Don NJ. Dickinson, whose
personal relations with the ex-President are
well known. 1t is one of the main features
which have been developed during the brief but
important visit he has made him. Mr.. Dickinson
reached Washington last night with Secretary
