CURSES OF INTERMARRIAGE.
Affections Entailed Upon the British Royal
Family by Blood Marriages.

4 writer in America, discoursing on
the results of intermarrying, gives an
appalling list of the diseases and de-
formities with which various members
of European royal houses are afflicted.
owing to this cause. From mere facial
deformity up to insanity, says London
Truth. there is scarcely any distressing
iicted which does not find place in
the list. Very possibly this catalogue
may be incorrect. but experience I'M
questiOnably proves the fact that there
is a degeneration in royal families. To
a certain extent this may be due 70 in
termarriage. but l suspect that it is
still more due to the species of cult that
is paid to royalties from generation to
generation. and which must in the ma
ture of things weaken their intellectual
fiber. Nothing can be moro mentally
in furious for man than to have all his
wishes anticipated by crowd of syco-
plants, and through life to find all
agreeing with him with whom he is
brought in daily contact. instead of be-
ing subjected to the discipline involved
IN social equality. Just as we have LOST
the tails that were the appendages of
our primeval ancestors because grad
ually the habit of wagging them fell
into disuse. so all mental virility gradu-
ally disappears from families that are
long regal, because they have no OPP
pOrtunity to exercise it.

Catholic priest at the Church of St.
Boniface, Union street, Whitechapel, is
the fourth son of Prince George, duke

age and he quilted the German army to
enter a monastery a few years ago.
His determination to retire from the
world and to enter the priesthood is
said to be due to an unfortunate attach

Fedora of Schleswig-HOlstein. BY his
modesty he has become very popular
among the poor in the east end. His re-

Iigence of the turkeys.
y place is found where turkeys are
numerous. Corn is scattered about
and if that is eaten, more is placed in
this manner for II week or two. until
they become accustomed to going there
for food. Then small logs are laid,
forming a square box about six or eight
inches in height; possibly two logs on
each side. one above the other. Inside
is placed the corn, and the turkeys
enter it readily. as the obstruction is
not sufficient to excite their fears.
The next night another log is added,
raising the box a little higher, per-
haps a foot or SO, and this process goes
on until the small logs form a conc
shaped box, narrowing at the top. ieav-
ing an opening by which they can enter
at the top.
Corn is placed in the box. and a few
kernels leading to It, as usual, and the
turkeys. mounting the last log, drop in
and eat up the corn. And now they are
caught. The opening is so narrow that.
Il turkey can easily jump
down through it with closed wings. it
cannot jump out again with it's wings
