History of the Breed and Some of Its
Characteristics.
Since the entry of the French-Cana-
dian cattle in the dairy tests at the
Pan-American exposition at Buffalo,
many inquiries have been made about
the breed. says the Springfield Repub-
lican- In fact. many people thought
that Canada had what might be called
a native breed. like the so-called ma
tives of the United States. made up by
cross .sg the progeny of early importa-
tions until it would be difficult to tell
what blood predominates- The Massa-
chusetts Ploughman quotes from a
pamphlet sent out by DIR. j. A. Cou-
ture, d. " s., of Quebec, secretary OF
the French-Canadian Cattle Breeders
association, in which he gives the his
tory of the breed, and the claims made
for it, He says the French settlers who
first came to Canada were natives of
Brittany and Normandy, France. The
first cattle in Quebec, in 1920 or there
abouts. were brought, no doubt, from
those two districts. No importations
of other breeds worth mentioning are
reported in the history of the province
until about 1900 or a lutte before. Be-
tween I776 and 1850 a few herds of
ShorthorEs, were brought into the
province, but they were bought by
wealthy Engiishmen living near Mon
treal and Quebec, where they are still
to be found. They found but little favor
with the French Inhabitants in the
poorer region and in the remote parts
along the Laurentides and the lower
part of the st. Lawrence, both north
and south, as they were 10th to cross
their hardy little cows with the larger
breeds, fearing, with good reason, that
they could not feed sufficiently to keep
the larger animals alive, to say nothing
of profit, during the seven months of
the winter. Thus they have been kept
nearly distinct for over $50 years, and
in-and-in breeding has been resorted to
to fix in a sure manner the character
istics of the breed, The three qualities
claimed for the French-Canadian are
hardness, frugality and richness of
milk. AS they are small, the cows aver
aging about 700 pounds each, they do
not require large amounts of food. In
form they are something like the Jer-
sey, but in color most frequently a
solid black or black with brown stripe
on the back and around the muzzle. or
brown with black points, brown brin-
die, or even yellOwiSh.''

DISTURBING THE EQUILIBRIUM.

When Russia presented an ultima
tnm to Turkey in 1877. a European
conference was held. Turkey had not
complied with the stipulations of the
treaty of Paris, and the conference of
1877, acting in the name of the sigma
tory powers, made certain demands on
Turke-. If these were not complied
with, Russia was to enforce the de-
mands. and the Turko-Russian war
followed.
At the close of the war, England.
Germany, France, Austria Hungary,
and Italy interviewed in the interest of
turkey and compelled Russia to modi-
fy her demands. the treaty of Berlin
resulted. This treaty re-enacted the
general clauses of the treaty of Paris,
declared Roumania, Servia, and Monte
negro independent states. made Bull
garia practically Independent, and
made certain stipulations as to reform
in Turkish administration.
At the same time treaty was
signed between England and Turkey.
in which the former agreed to defend
the latter against the aggression of
Russia or other European powers. At
that time England, France and Ger

Russian plans for the ACKNOWLEDGMENT

PEOPLE AND
EVENTS
PROF. sMEDlEY AND SPELLING.

Professor Smedley and his assistants
in the department of child study OF the
Chicago public schools are trying to
find out why SO many children do not
learn to spell. That they do not is adj
mitted by the fact of the Investigation.
And this admission is doubly interest
ing because it comes from Professor
Smedley. Professor Smedley's investi-
cations so far seem to be confined to
physical conditions. He suggests that
improperly fed children have weaker
memories as well as bodies. Defective
eyes are also suggested as another rea-
soR for bad spelling. The theory is that
the child, not seeing the word correct
ly in the first place, is unable to re-
produce 1T correctly. In this latter the
DRY there seems to be point which
the lay mind concerned with results,
and observing that the spelling results
of Chicago school training are decid-
eddy poor, may reflect uponSwith prof
it. The old system, by which children
were taught to spell by steady prac-
tice in vocal combining of letters into
words, is regarded as very crude and
bad by the apostles of the new meth
DDS" For it has been largely super
seeded by what is called 1.-The visual
METHOD which seems to be that a
child shall first be taught what a word
looks like as whole and then shall
learn to spell it by taking it to pieces
and trying to put the pieces together

Heads were turned toward the red

crowded tables. Finally he seemed to
pull himself together. and raising his
hands above the table, he looked
around the board, saying:

Colon, Sept l6.-The Alexander Bixio
has arrived at Colon. The delay was due
to the fact that she was chartered at
Savanilla by the Colombian government
to convey 1900 troops with ammunition to
Rio Hacha.
On her arrival here September s a
Venezuelan squadron, consisting of the
Restaurador formerly the Atalanta) and
two other gunboats, were on the point OF
bombarding the town. The French
cruiser Suchet had been protesting against
the bombardment and this had been post
poned for "a hours in order to allow the
foreign consuls and other nomenclature
to leave.
During the interval the Alexander BixiC
arrived and succeeded in landing 1905
troops with ammunition at Rio Hacha
This was entirely due to the protection
afforded by the presence of the Suchet
which sailed for Curacao September 6
The remained of the troops were landed
at Santa Maria September 10. The Gen
eral Pinzon accompanied the Alexander
