King Victor Emmanuel has done
that which becomes a true man, and
therefore something not unbecoming a
king. Lieutenant Bresci, brother OF
the assassin of King Humbert, has had
to endure such suspicion and dislike
because Of his relationship with the
murderer. that his position became in.
tolerable, and he forwarded to the
king his resignation from the army.
Not only was the resignation declined,
IN words which revealed the generos.
ity Of a manly mans nature. but the
king, as a proof Of his confidence in
the loyalty of a gallant and deserving
officer, promoted him to a captaincy,
with the command of a fort on the
Austrian frontier. 1t was a magnani-
nous thing to do, and the young king
has given evidence that he possesses
at least one of the qualities that made
his father and grandfather worthily
popular.

The North Carolina experimental
station has discovered that the flavor
OF eggs is determined by the feed. Az
ter giving hens chopped onions for two
weeks the eggs became so disagreeable
in flavor that they could not be used.
Wheat shorts, cotton seed meal and
skim milk increased the number of
eggs laid, but the eggs had disagree
able flavor. Cracked corn and corn
dough resulted in fewer eggs, but lar.
ger ones and of better flavor.

pressed that the convention might have
