No Birds On Mats.

Chicago, Aarch lO.-The Illinois Audi
bon siciety is going to strike blow at
the root of the fashion Of wearing sea
gulls and ferns for bonnet decorations.
The society has decided that moral sua-
sion with the women is not effective, and
that the people to set after are the deal
ers.
Every milliners house in Chicago,
wholesale and retail, is to be served with
notice that the selling of skins of gulls
and ferns and song birds is illegal under
the law of Illinois The name of each
bird which it is forbidden to buy or sell
will be given in order that ignorance cun
net be pleaded as an excuse for law VIC
lstion.
A committee chosen by the directors of
the society will visit the retail milliners,
and, after an inspection of the stocks, will
point out to responsible persons the birds
which it is unla wful for them to sell. The
committee will then recommend that the
prohibited skins be returned to the supply
house from which they were purchased.
If tae merchants agree to do this they
will avert prosecution.

Professor Edward North, of Hamil-

chair of Greek, which he had held con
dnuously for almost sixty years. His
retirement prompted one of the most
charming Christmas gifts of the sea
son. Nearly seven hundred letters
bearing appropriate greetings and low
Ing messages were sent by old alumni
from all parts of the country. The
president of the college gathered them
into a bushel basket, covered with with
huge armful of roses and carried
them to odd Greeks" door. The mer-
curry was below zero that Christmas
morning, but the atmosphere into
which the beloved old professor plung-
ed was warm.

PRINCE HENRY HAS DEPARTED
SAILED FROM NEW YORK PORT
On the DeutschIand--Spent the Morn
ing on Board--After breakfast He
Was Treated to an Exhibition of
the Life Saving Crew, and This
Was Followed by Fire Drill.

New York, March l2.-Prince Henry
of Prussia, who went on board the
Deutschland about o'clock Tuesday
morning after the gala performance in his
honor at the Irving Place theater, spent
a quiet morning on the steamship.
1t had been planned that the prince
would make several farewell visits, but
it was said that he felt need of rest and
that the leavetakings would take place
on the Deutschland
Prince Henry breallfasted at $50
o'clock with the members of his suite and
Captain Albers Of the Deutschland. Dur
ing the breakfast the band played Ger
man and American airs. After breakfast
Prince Henry promenaded the deck of the
Deutschland smoking cigarette, and
while he was doing this the life saving
drill signal was sounded aboard the big
freighter Pretoria, moored a few piers
away. In twinkling after the alarm
was blown the lifeboats were freed and
made ready for lunching. This was fol-
lowed by fire drill and in less than
five minutes after the alarm was given a
dozen streams of water were pouring over
the side of the vessel. The prince was
interested in the exhibition, and said
the responses to the calls were very
prompt. Several members of the princes
party went this morning to Elizabeth
port n j., to visit the Nixon shipbuild-
ing yards.
The prince spent all of his last day in
America on board the Deutschland He
occupied the entire forenoon in writing
letters and dispatches in his apartments on
board. The presidents delegates arrived
on board about IL o'clock, and Ambas-
sador Won Hollenben appeared shortly aft
erward.
For the luncheon which the prince had
arranged to give at noon to the mem
bers of the party which had accompanied
him on his arrival in this country, covers
were laid for % persons. The table was
decorated with German and American
colors and American Beauty roses, and
the lUnsheon was entirely informal There
were no speeches, and it was stated thas
the prince would make no formal fare
well statement before sailing for home.
Before the Deutschland sailed Prince
Henry was serenaded by the United sang
ing societies of Hudson county, New
jersey.

Protest From China,

Pe<in, March l3.-The Chinese govern
ment has presented to the United States
minister, Mr. Conger, a strong memorial
against the reenaetment of the Chinese
exclusion law by that government. The
government here particularly objects to
the exclusion of Chinese from the Philip
pine and Hawaiian islands, representing
that the Chinese had acquired extensive
commercial interests there and were
closely connected with the islands by
family ties, so that repression of free in
tercourse would result in peculiar hard
ships.

Did you ever have what the physi-
clans call nostalgia? In plain language
nostalgia is Inconsistencies. Doctors
say the collapse of Americans in the
Philippines is due to nostalgia A PIN
ing for home and friends becomes a
veritable disease. 1t causes ACCESSION
and benumbs every faculty of the
mind The victim dreams of home day
and night and is unfit for any sort Of
activity. However the mental kaleido-
scope may rotate. it always shows a
picture Of 'the old folks at home" SO,
many a soldier boy in the far away
islands who is isolated for weeks and
months, to whom letters and home
newspapers are a rarity, broOds and
dreams away the weary hours He
loses his ambition, his vitality is Slapped
and he is bereft of the power to over
come his melancholy. He pines and
droOps into an actual sickness. Some
day there will be a daily news service
to the Philippines and American news
papers will be printed in Manila and
elsewhere containing the news of the
world and especially the news from
the United States. That will take
away some of the isolation. A daily
touch with Gods country" will do
much to relieve the forlorn American.
With close communication will also
come the feeling that the islands are
really a part of Uncle Sans domains.

who are guilty of food adulteration,
and more thorough preventive methods
must Ike devised for the general protec-
ton of the people from the dangers to
which the villainous practice subjects
them. The average individual has
scarcely the faintest conception of the
extent to which INSCRIPTIONS manu-
facturers are said to have carried the
business of substituting deleterious
and not infrequently poisonous ingredi-
ents in food articles of the most COM
mon and necessary use. 1t has long
been widely known, OF course, that at

the public many articles of diet which
are fraudulent in their composition.
That poisonous adulteratlon, however,
has become such feature of the man
ufacture of the staple foods of daily
use as to be responsible for wholesale
loss of life the consumer finds it hard
to believe, even though experts of high
repute for honesty and skill so declare.
But statements of such purpose are

quality, have been found, when sub
