regular Feeding and variety.

Two things are essential to the thrift
of animals-a variety in their food and
regularity in its receipt. One article
of food cannot supply all the necessary
sustenance, because it may lack some
OF the essential elements, and Is almost
sure to have some insufficient quanti-
ties. Animals do not thrive as well
when fed irregularly as when they get
their food at certain seasons. The
more regular the food Is supplied the
better the results.

The Heritage Of the Centuries.

Every city in Australia should be an
ideal and model municipality. The
cities Of that vast commonwealth are
heirs to the greatest heritage Of the
centuries. In planting their centers of
human life and activity they have had
the best of all forms of government to
draw from and living illustrations Of
the worst to avoid. But the seeds Of
an old world city are not only sown,
but, alas! the tree OF city problems
flourishes on all sides. Yes, the evil
OF human beings sweated into eternity
looms large upon the horizon of city
reforms. The unbridled spirit OF
gambling is abroad. Youths are in

get something for nothing" The

out the Trial.

New York-At the close OF three
court sessions. which marked the first
day OF the second trial of Harry X,
Thaw for the alleged murder of Stan.
ford White, nine tentative jurors had
been selected out OF 81 talesmen ex.
amined by District Attorney Jerome,
for the prosecution, and Martin W.
Littleton, for the defense. All OF the
men In the jury box are subject to
peremptory challenge, of which each
side has thirty. In view Of the diff.
Guilty experienced last year in dis.
charging five Jurors after they had
taken the path OF service. It was
agreed this time not to administer any
oaths until both sides finally are sat.
istied with the full panel.
To Plead Legal Insanity.
Legal insanity at the time OF the
tragedy is to be the sole defense. This
was made clear at the very outset of
the proceedings, when Mr.. Littleton
formally served notice that the for
mer plea of not guilty was amended
by the specification that the defendant
was insane when the homicide was
committed.
The trial opened with little or nc
ceremony and there was distinct evi.
dence OF a slackening OF public inter.
est. Admittance to the courtroom was
vigorously restricted and all day long
there were vacant benches In the cur.
tailed quarters given over to specta.
tors. The only women allowed to be
present are the members Of the de-
PENDANTS family and newspaper writ.

the first few days Of the first trial,

Thronss Follow Mrs. Thaw.
Mrs. Evelyn Thaw was again the
center OF interest, even to the exclu-
sion of the defendant himself. She
was followed by throngs of curious
persons as she entered and left the
courthouse for the morning and aft.
ernoon sessions. She did not attend
the night sitting. The long court
hours and the tedious monotony of
the repeated jury examinations proved
intensely fatiguing.
Every possible convenience is to
be provided for the jurors, who are
to be locked up throughout the trial.
They are to be quartered in one of the
fashionable hotels on Upper Broadway
and luncheon will be served at an
expensive downtown restaurant. The
jury examinations did not develop
such a strong vein of unalterable opin.
ion as WAS anticipated and many Of
the talesmen were excused on other
grounds than bias based upon read
ing OF extensive reports of the first
trial.
