Series OF Controversies which Have

Whistler. the artist. always seems TO
be having trouble of one sort or an
other. Just recently It has been about
his portrait OF Lady Eden. which the
French court had ordered him TO de-
liver Immediately or sooner" lefore
that there was his controversy with
DuMaurier. In which he forcib!y ex-
pressed his resentment at having been
introduced into the authors now
famous "Trilby" Many years ago there
was the famous libel suit against John
Ruskln. who. in a brief but singing
criticism of the artists work. called
him cockney. This sunk deea into
the soul Of Whistler, who brougl { suit

Ouida in the Nineteenth Century. II
sleeps a hare in fennel and eats salt
with melons. The craze for devouring
birds OF all Kinds is a species of fury
from the Alps to Etna: they crunch the
delicate bodies betweent their jaws with
disgusting relish. and a lark represents
TO them a succulent morsel for the spit
or pastry. The trade in larks all over
the world is enormous and execrable,
and is as large in England as in Italy.
It should at once be made penal by
heavy fines on the trappers, the ven
ders and the eaters, or ere long no more
will the lark be heard on the earth. II
Is admitted by all who know anything
of the subject that agriculture would be
impossible without the aid of birds. as
the larvas and developed insects of all
kinds would make a desert of the entire
area of cultivated land. This is well
known. Yet all over the world the

able them to nest and rear their young
