Among recent breeds Of pigeons is the parlor

Internationally "Doctored" the Fruit

NEW ORLEANS, Jan. l2.-1mporters Of lem
ons from Sicily have made a queer discovery
which costs them heavily. During the latter
part Of December the Italian steamship Iuiza-
tiva arrived here with load of fine lemons and
a horde Of Siciliah immigrants. The lemons
brought excellent prices account Of the color
of the fruit and its apparent freshness In n
few days. however the lemons withered and not
trace of acid could be found in them. This
was soon discovered and an attempt was made
to fix the blame upon the shippers, who we're
believed to have doctored the fruit. 1t has
been learned, however that the peculiar loss of
juice in the lemons, while they retained their
rich color, was due to the fumes of sulphur
which were used at quarantine to fumgate the
ship and her passengers when she arrived. The
importers intend to urge this as reason against
the admission of immigrants to ships bringing
perishable cargoes to this port.

the Wedding Of Prince Ferdinand.
LONDON, Jan. IA Vienna dispatch says
regarding the absence Of the Queen Of Rou-
mania from the wedding of Crown Prince Fer
dipand: There is a good deal Of confusion with
regard to the attitude of the Queen Of Rou-
maniA toward the marriage OF her nephew to
Princess Marie. The unfortunate queen ia in
such terribly bad health that it was an absolute
impossibility for her to be present at the we'd
ding, for her doctor orders her not TO
stir from Psllanza. Her interest in things
sublunary has. moreover. considerably waned.
and though she remembers her friend. Mile.

sufficiently strong on the world for her

care and solicitude of her attendant. the Bar

and can share in the literary pursuits which
still form the principal solace of Carmen
Silvas' sick bed. 1t must be remembered that
Prince Ferdinand Is not the queens son or
marriage and his adoption WAS purely politi-
cal matter"
One Of the presents which the Princess Marie
of Edinburgh received from her parents is a
splendid set OF turquoises and diamonds. The
set is composed of a necklace, tiara and ear
rings. the latter showing that these so-called
remnants of barbarism have not gone out OF
fashion. as has so often been asserted. The de-
sign of both necklace and tiara is exceedingly
graceful and light. showing separated clusters
of lovely turquoises surrounded by equally
sumptuous diamonds. The earrings are small

be allowed IL teach in q parochial school who
has not proved his fitness for the position by
previous examination. No priest shall have the
right to employ any teacher. male female,

diploma from the diocese board of examiners.

or priest, and this is the expressed prohibition
Of the sovereign pontif, through the sacred
congregation. either by act threat, to eN-
rents who chose to send their children to the

selves this enactment applies with still greater
force.
