Corn Meal In italy.

In Italy corn meal mush is made into q
delicate and very palatable food called po-
lenta, and is served with roasted small birds
something like our little sparrow. The dish
il considered a great delicacy on Italian ta-
bles and probably would be in this country
if prepared with the same culinaryslill. The
various forms in which corn meal can be
used as food are not fully understood in
this country where corn is grown in such
abundance. But in European countries,
where ecornmeal is a rarity and luxury, the
careful study Of its uses is constantly de-
velOping new methods for serving it as a
wholesome and palatable food When it's
value as food is more fully understood in
this country its use will become more gem
eral and the methods for cooking and serv-
ing it will be greatly multiplied.

NATIONS BIC JUMP

When the result Of the census of 1900
is declared it will be found that the
United States has taken a long leap
upward toward the 100, 900 mark
There are even sanguine calculators
who predict that the 100000 900 mile
Inmates indicate that the total will still
fall 100000 or 100000 short of the
eighth cipher.
There were 62,622250 inhabitants in
the United States 10 years ago, accord
ing to the last census. Secretary
Cages actuary of the treasury, who
is close guesser in matters of popu-
lation, computes the present popu-
lation between Maine and California,
Alaska and Key West, at 1913 900, To
this must be added the peoples brought
under the stars and stripes by the war
with Spain and by the annexation of
Hawaii, to say nothing of Cuba, Porto
Rico and Guam.
If the Filipinos can be induced to
stand still long enough to be counted,
they may possibly yield million or
two more, but unless the actuary has
made mistake in addition, there will
yet remain a wide gap between the
actual total and the magnificent round
number.
For a decade or two longer, there
fore, the United States must be con-
tent to remain in the fourth place in
point of population among the nations
of the earth. China, despite encroach-
ments upon her territory still holds

A BAD MAN ARRESTED
The Police Secure Thomas WhaI.
en-, Who Has a LonQ Record

Inspector William J. E. Stone and
Officer Frank F. Burbank arrested
Thomas Whalen Saturday evening and
booked him at station l for vagrancy
Whalen is known to the police as an
all-rourd sneak thief, and has a rec
ord for beating lodging houses and rob-
bing persons living at these places that
is second to none in the country. A
short time ago he was stopping in
Worcester and roomed with two other
men. One of them missed $25 one
morning, and the other was out SIS
when he woke up. Whalen was also
missed, and since then the police have
been OIL the lookout for him.
Inspector Stone and Officer Burbank
got trace of him Saturday and he was
brought to the station. He had a gold
hunting case watch in his pocket which
the police think he took from some
one. 1t is IA karat, United States as
say, and the case is numbered 67,21S.
1t is Rockford movement and the

BAD DAY FOR Firms
Two Victims of Assault Attended
BY Surgeons

Christmas day proves to be a bad one
among the Firms in Worcester, and for
some time past there has hardly a
Christmas eve passed unless some one
of them was brought into station 1.
Last evening about 9 o'clock, four
or five of them got mixing up in a
house at Larkin street and it end
ed by q man named Anthony Surich
getting struck over the head with a
glass. His alleged assailant, Peter Boke-
lund, was arrested shortly after by Of
ficers Fred Harper and Thomas J.
Spencer and sent to station 1, where he
was booked for assault and battery.
From the stories told of the affair,
both men were drinking, and got into
an argument over matters relative to
their home country. Bokelund, it is al
legged, got mad and threw a glass he
had in his hand at Surich striking him
on the head. Both men were brought to
station l, and later Surich was sent to
the city hospital, where his wound was
sewed up. He had an ugly cash on the
right temple, and when brought to the
station. it was thought he had a piece
of glass in the cut
There was another stabbing affray in
the afternoon, and Finn with a bad
cut on his head was brought to station

HECTOR MACDONALD
Career of the General Who Rose
From the British Ranks

Gen. Hector Macdonald, the hero of
Omdurman, is to succeed to the
command Of the Highland brigade, at
the head of which Gen. Wauchope met
his death. MacDonalds experiences in
the ranks before he obtained his COM
mission showed to good purpose when
he organized the Egyptians for fighting
the willy Dervishes. Macdonald has met
the Beers before, having served in the
previous campaign against them. He
was captured at Majuba hill, where the
Beers paid him the compliment of re-
turning his sword saying that they had
no wish to deprive so brave a man of

their own.

black banner again; his stanchest die
hards drove it into the earth and locked
their ranks about it. The green flag
danced encouragement to the Allah-in-

the Sheikh-ed-Din. 1t was victory Of
Paradise now.
But the cockpit of the fight was Mac
Donald's. The British might avenge his
brigade; it was his to keep it and to
kill off the attack. To meet it he turned
his front through complete half-ciP-

Then he turned to a galloper with an
