NEXT CONSISTORY.
FOREIGNERS STAND A BETTER
CHANCE OF BECOMING
CARDINALS.

Home, May 5-The next consistory
for the election of cardinals is fast ap-
preaching. There are now seven va
csncies, which it seems the pope is in
clined to fill with foreigners-thst is,
not Italians. His motives for not
creating cardinals of the curl, are
partly political and partly economical.
Every cardinal residing in Rome re.
ceives yearly stipend from the vati.
can, while the cardinals of the prov
inces and abroad are paid locally. The
81 cardinals now residing in Rome
means almost 100000 francs year
in stipends direct from the vatican /;
moreover, the weight is somewhat too
much on the side Of the Italian cardi-
mails. and therefore the pope desires
TO restore the balance by creating for.
eign mem bers, which Is likely to bene-
at England and the United States.

How Men Cook in Camp.

From Forest ana stream.
Various echoes from the camp reach me.
Frequently I am consulted about the cook

There was no reason, he said. why they
should not add this dainty to their fare.
especially since it was SO easily made. He
wrote out the directions-ffour. eggs, milk.

that the time had come for the flannel

The Elusive Hare.
From Outing


To my notion, there is peculiar charm
about trailing a hare. In the first place
there is sup rb uncertainty about where
you viii locate the beast. if it knows where
it is itself. You find a fresh track and if
wise, you follow it in what apparently is
the wrong direction and then-well, you
just keep on following. Somewhere, per-
haps only a few yards to one side of where
you struck the track, IS the other end, and,
of course, a hare. You acquire wisdom con-
corning this small technicality later-possi-
bly, hours iater-but that does not of neces-
sity spoil the sport. 1t may be the track
is first found in a briery thicket, which
hampers all the rising ground marking the
edge of a great swampy woodland. 1t is
easy-in fact, almost too easy. The hare
loves swampy woodland. so, of course. he
merely has skipped for a trifiing distance
along the rim, as ii were, of the depres-
sion then gone down and squatted under
some handy log, from which shelter you
will bounce him within five minutes. Theo-
retically this is sound; practically it is
a hundred-to-one shot on an utterly I'M
reliable tip Impulse prompts you to slant
down toward the swamp at once, to jump
him from somewhere. promptly knock him
over and be done with ii. This will save
useless p )ttering over foolish tracks, and
also some valuable time.

Zebra as Domestic Animal.


1t is reported that systematic attempt
is to be made by the British government to
domesticate the zebra for use in South Afri-
can possessions. 1t is proposed to catch
large numbers of wild zebras and allow
them to breed In captivity, training the
young as draught animals. No attempt,
apparently, will be made to tame and train
the captured animals themselves, although
this has often been accomplished with se-
lected individuals The zebra proper is
very difficult to tame, but allied varieties,
such as the South African quagga, are
more easily domesticated. At the Cape.
twenty years since, these were often seen
working with draught horses Still better
success has rewarded recent attempt to
cross the zebra with the horse and the ass.
The resulting hybrids. which are called
.zebroids." are lively. but docile, and are
easily trained. They have unusual muscu-
lar strength. and their immunity to the bite
of the tsetse fly, which Is fatal to the horse.
makes them especially valuable for African
service. II Is thought by some that the
zebroid will supplant the mule. especially
for work in the tropics.

GRAVES OF NOTED MEN
MOUNDS THAT COVER BONES OF
THE GREAT AT QUINCY, MASS.
Hancock, Quincy, Hoar and Adams
Among the Famous Names Found
in Old Tombs.

From the Boston Globe.
In the heart of city square, Quincy, is
somewhat small cemetery, which for it's
size probably holds the remains of more
prominent people than any other place in
the state.
To the average Quincyite it is known as
Hancock cemetery probably because the
father of John Hancock is buried there
John Hancock, himself a Quincy lad, was
a popular idol in his day, and his father,
Rev. John Hancock, was minister of the
First Church. across the way from the
cemetery which bears his name.
On one side of the cemetery Is the prin-
cipai business street of the city. and at the
rear are the railroad tracks over which
thousands are carried to and from Boston
every day.
Just when the place was first used for
burial purposes the records of the old town
do not state, but it must have been soon
after the first settlement of the town, as
the graves of some of the early settlers are
here. Up until 1903 the cemetery was not
fenced In, and for nearly two centuries
prior to that time the place was used as
pasture for cattle. In 1903 President John
Adams and few other public-spirited men
raised $50 by subscription and bought
the right of heritage and pasturage from
Ebenezer. Motram and Mary Veazie. The
place was then fenced, and the following
year, at a town meeting, the deeds of the
cemetery Were presented to the town.
Oldest Headstone.
The oldest headstone in the cemetery
bears the date of December 10, 1865, and is
over the grave of the Rev. William Tomp-
son, the first minister of the town church.
This stone is about foot high, is of slate
and bears the following inscription:
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1904-02-25

Most of the headstones In this old ceme-
terry are small and of slate, and many are
adorned with uracings of weeping willow
trees and skulls. Very many of them con-
tain elegiac lines, all pointing the moral
that death is inevitable. On account of the
ravages of time 1t is very difficult to de-
cipher some of the Inscriptions, and the
plans of the cemetery recently made by the
city authorities will preserve in the ar
chives of the city the name and location of
the various graves and tombs

1t is quite probable that headstones were
placed in the cemetery at an earlier date
than that, but they We're doubtless de-
stroyed by the cattle that were allowed to
roam there.
1t is said that the first tomb erected in
the cemetery was that of DR.. Leonard
Hoar, third president of Harvard College
who died in 1873 He was one of Senator
Hoar's ancestors, and the latter, a few
years since, erected a modern stone near
the old tomb, as the lettering on the latter
was hard to identify owing to the ravages
made by time.
Curious inscription
A somewhat curious inscription is on the
tomb, and reads as follows:

As to Mounting.

1t used to be rigid canon that no wo-
man should be permitted to ride alone who
could not mount unaided. and this may stiu
hold in the few cases where the deficiency
exists. but the ST read of athletics and phys
zeal culture renders the cases very few and
far between. Still the old argument in
favor of steady horse for that reason is
further strengthened by the inability of a
side-saddle rider to apply the right lef pres
sure as means of control. The woman
should also be able to put the Birdie and
saddle on her horse not only because 1t is
some times nece: sary, but still more so be-
cause she then knows when others have
done it correctly. Otherwise, she will occa-
sionally have more or less serious trouble
