Cats as Food,

In northern Italy the cat is favor
lite article of food, even though people
are forbidden by law from partaking
of the animal. indeed, cats are fat
tened and grown for the market with
great care, and the Italians believe
that they far surpass rabbits in every
good quality. The method cooking
the animal is to roast it in an oven
until brown, with onions, garlic, pars-
ley, bay leaf. red wine, and some
fragrant herbs other than those men,

The political crisis In Hungary has
reached a point where it seriously im-
perils the union between Austria and
Hungary. Backed by large majority
In the house of representatives and an
overwhelming popular sentiment, the
leaders of the coalition party of Hun
gary went to Hofburg 10 present to
Francis Joseph the conditions upon
which they would consent to form q
cabinet and carry on the Hungarian
government. The emperor-king hand.
ed them an ultimatum in which he
demanded that they form a cabinet,
but declined to grant any of the con-
cessions they asked. The coalition
statesmen refused to yield and return
ed to Budapest, and Hungary still is
without a responsible government, as
1t has been for some months. The
strained situation can hardly last
much longer without some decisive
result.
1t would be mistake to regard the
struggle as one merely between the
emperor-king and the Hungarians. 1t
Austria on the one side and Hungary
on the other. When, fifty-seven
years ago, delegation of Hungarians,
headed by Louis Kossuth, obtained
at Vienna the Emperor Ferdinand's
promise to sanction constitution for
their country, they also secured the
promise of one for Austria This made
Hungarians extremely popular in
Austria. But the cordial feelings be-
tween the people of the two countries
Of the dual monarchy have been
almost completely extihguished by a
half century of pickering. ITO put
the matter plainly" said Francis Kos
suth, leader of the coalition parties
and son Of Louis Kossuth, in a re-
cent magazine article, "the Austrians
hate us, perhaps because they know
they have wronged u.s."
The present acute troubles began
In 1898-99, when Premier Solomon
Sell, at the instance of the emperor,
attempted to pass measures increas-
ing the number of recruits to the Hun
garian army and the annual grant to
the crown. Riotous obstructionist tao
tics forced Sell to resign, and Count
Khuen Hedervary became prime min
jster. The new premier abandoned
his predecessors unpopular policy,
but large section of the party of
independence refused to desist from
its obstructionist tactics unless the
government consented to the use of
the Hungarian language instead of the
German and of the national emblems
