THE DUKE OF AOSTA.
One of the Most Unpopular Mem
bers of Italy's Royalty.
He Would Become the Unwe1come
Ruler OF the Kingdom Should
Victor Emmanuel Die With
out Male Issue.

The queen of Italy and the czarina
of Russia would be happier than they
are to-day and they would rise i'm
mensely in popular favor if that
mystical bird, the stork, had been
kinder and more considerate and had
left sons instead of daughters in the
royal palaces in which these ladies
live. The czarina has disappointed
the hopes of the people four times by
presenting daughters to the car and
the two children of the young queen
of Italy are both daughters. The
sooner the storl1 manifests a higher
degree of consideration for the situa-
ton in which these royal ladies are
placed and grants them sons the
happier they and their hus bands and
great army of their subjects will be.
The throne of Italy can descend
only to the male heirs of the king
and if King Victor Emmanuel should
die without a son his successor would
be the duke of Aosta, who is not at
all in favor with the people of Italy,
and there would be no end of discon-
tent if he should become king. The
duke is "a years of age. He is the
eldest son of the late Prince Amadeus,
a brother of King Humbert and eX-
king of Spain. His wife was Princess
Helene of Orleans, daughter of the
late count of Paris, and they have
two sons, Amadeus and Aimon, so
that if the. duke should succeed to
the throne it would probably remain
permanently in his family.
The duke and his wife are hand
some pair, says the Detroit Free
Press. But one may also see in the
face of the handsome young duke

Vibration stops Matching.

''An egg in the process of hatching,"
says an expert, sis remarkably sensi-
tive to vibration. Half the failures
that amateurs encounter in Matching
out chicks by an incubator method are
due to lack of precaution in providing
against the effect of vibra ton on the
eggs. The rumble of train or the
passage Of a wagon along the street
will spoil a whole incubator full of
eggs, if the faintest Migratory wave,
reaches the apparatus. Even such a
little thing as the banging of door
in some other part of the house will
destroy the chances of Matching out
brood, where care has not been taken
TO place the incubator beyond the
reach of such disturbances. A thun-
derstorm always gives breeders a
scare, as thousands of eggs may be
spoiled by sudden heavy thunder
clap. To sneeze or cough in the vicin-
ity of thes incubators will sometimes
work disastrous result"

his country, but could handle a
horse, and to him was granted the
privilege of acting as teamster for
Gen. Washington. Later on he took
up the more exciting duties of a
soldier, and served until the end of
the war. When the question was
settled, he went to Canada and es-
tablished a home. The ground was
fertile enough, but the population
was scattering and the nearest mill
was long distance from Carriers
farm. For a long time he and his
neighbors used hand-mills furnished
by the government, but the method
was too slow and arduous for Car
ter, and he persuaded the neighbors
to assist him in erecting the mill,
after harvesting time, 1882.
The mill has long ceased to be
utilized for the grinding of the

ceased to exist, but the walls still

THE CHURCH IN CUBA.
Clergy Is Solemnly Adjured to Keep
Out of Politics.
Salient Points of the POpe's Brief on
the New Republfc-Earne
RecOmm ends the Fostering
OF Education.

n SUMMARY of the pope's brief in re-
gard to Cuba and Porto Rico, sent to
Archbishop Chapelle, of New Orleans,
as papal delegate to those islands, has
been received at Washington. In the
message the pope refers to the changes
of government in the islands and the
necessity for providing for the new
conditions, as he did by appointing a
new delegate, and by decreeing on
September 4, 1901, that Cuba should
be governed, enthusiastically by the
same laws as the church in Latin
America, enacted in Rome in 1899.
These provisions, the pope goes on
to say, did not seem to be sufficient
for the new necessities of the island
hence the present brief, actum Prae
clare.
Leo XIII. erects the new dioceses of
Pinar del Rio and Cienfuegos, which
comprise, respectively, the provinces
of Pinar del Rio and the civil prov
ince of Santa Clara. The metropoli-
tan shall be, for all, the archbishop
of Santiago. The diocese of Porto

He wishes the sees of Santiago and
Havana to retain their chapters of
canons. II, however, circumstances
do not permit the full quota, at least
ten canons are to be supported. The
new sees must also have their can
ons. In comforting benefices and can
Onries the laws of the council of La tin
America are to be preserved.

ty of sacred and profane learning for

Runners method. The great merit
of his invention is That it is now pos
sible to telephone without wires in

that messages can be sent more
rapidly than at present, that re-

Runner sought to make the Bell
system of commercial value, and was
aided by two important original dis
coveries. He found that selenium is
sensitive to other than red and yell
low rays, and also that by increas-
ing the size of his mirror he could
increase the distance at which the
message could be audible. During
his experiments on the Wannsee,
Berlin, the inventor first succeeded
in sending his messages a mile; aft
erward he spoke to a distance of
nine miles,

those who are to hold ministerial of
fee in the dioceses and of the care
which the bishops ought TO exercise
to foster in their priests the virtues
which befit their state. His words
on not meddling in political matters
are very pointed. He wishes men in
(omnino abstineant) from such pur-
suits. They are to foster fraternaI
love, and to give no ground for envy.
To procure this spirit the bishops are
to summon the priests yearly for the
exercises of a spiritual retreat. The
usual conferences for the discussion
Of theological questions are to be held
and care taken to erect seminaries
for the proper education of the future
clergy of Cuba. The pope recon-
mends especially the Collegio Pio-Lat-
ino-Americano, at Rome. He wishes
at least two young men from each
of the Cuban dioceses to be sent there,
and that when they shall have fin
ished others to succeed them be Sc
lected.
He commends the sedulous care of
schools for youth and colleges for
both sexes. A word of praise is be-
slowed on the religious bodies, who
have worked so well in Cuba. The
pope wishes their number to be in
creased, and that houses shall be
erected in more places, in which at
least eight religious men shall live,
whose duty shall be to preach to the
people and to teach them.
AS soon as the new sees are filled,
provincial council is to be convoked
by the apostolic delegate, at which he
shall preside. The pope urges the
Cubans to perseyere in the faith of
their fathers, to keep the unity of the
faith IN the bond of peace, to give
due honor to the heads of the repub-
lie 'republicoe proepositos debito hon
ore prosequantur." The execution of
these provisions is committed to the
delegate.
The extent of the diocese of Pinar
del Rio is 1850 square kilometers: the
population 175 1904; there will be in it 20
parishes, and IS secular priests. The
Church of ST. Rudesind, in the CITY of
Pinar del Rio, is to be the cathedral.
A seminary must be erected in this
new diocese. The time for doing so is
left to the new bishop.
The diocese of Cienfuegos will have
an extent of 1850 square kilometers.

Mr.. Nixon also admitted that a pros
