of cotton seed meal and quoted from
the reports of the experts of the agri-

that product in the front rank OF food

A physician while talking with a

poisonous: they are venomous. A
poison cannot be taken internally with

Their venom taken internally is In

Cardinal Ferrari, Archbishop Of Milan
Praises This Country's Attitude
Toward Religion.

Milan.-Cardinal Ferrari, archbishop
OF Milan, like the reigning pope, is a
man of the people. He has risen to
his present great position by sheer
force of intellect and character. A
tall man, of majestic bearing, with
white hair escaping from his scarlet
zuchetta, his face is powerful, but
marked with deep lines of suffering.
1t is the face of a strong man who has
battled and been victorious.

smiling, "and can tell you at once
that America interests me intensely.
Archbishop Ireland is one of my per-
sonal friends. Whenever he passes
through Milan he stays with me-.
America is the land Of liberty, and I
value liberty above all else. The
American people have the sense of

stand that the opinions and the re-

There are so many Irishmen in
America that, I take it, there must be

Prince Alexander is a much ouieter

The report was spread in the United

crown prince and his brother intended
to visit that country this summer and
would try to win the hand Of some
wealthy American girl, who would ex.

Queen Of Servia.

gone to Washington to arrange for
Prince Georges introduction to Chi.

Belgrade. - In the announcement
which has just been made Of the en-.
gagement between the crown prince Of
Servia and Princess Schadis Sultana,
fourth daughter Of ex-Sultan Abdul
Hamid Of Turkey, no. one can find a
signification Of the impending union of
two loving hearts. or anything ap.

young persons, who are one day to be
man and wife, have never even seen
each other, the prospective bride be-.
ing a Turkish lady of high degree,
who is seen by no one outside her own
household until her wedding day.
The affair is fixed up by the father
and uncle of the principal parties to it
during the visit of King Peter of
Servia to the sultan of Turkey and real
significance is found in the fact that
by allowing his niece to become the
wife of the future king of Servia the
sultan acknowledges the Karageorge.

In ten thousands Of Austrian families girls and
young women that formerly prepared for a career
with the needle. thereby often digging for them
selves an early grave. are now getting ready to
embrace the better paid professions, formerly
monopol1zed by man. Since training schools are
open to women, the Vienna correspondent of the
Boston Post writes, masses Of them decided to
engage in electricity. architecture. engineering
and similar pursuits.
number Of Vienna girls have declared that
they will go In for bridge building others want to
build machinery and If the enthusiasm keeps up
tailoresses and shirtwaist and lingerie factories
will soon be hard up for hands.
It is remarked on all sides that the opening Of
the training schools to girls came none too soon
for the sedentay habits to which Austrian women
were condemned resulted In a less prepossessing
grace Now that Austrian girls, like American

After witnessing these specimens Of
school work we went out into the open
fields to see the dogs track and arrest
supposed criminals. A crowd of curl
GUS onlookers had already collected.
A young man, who subsequently
proved an uncommon1y tame and
stupid malefactor, was enveloped in a
heavy, padded leather coat, which
showed the marks of numerous dog
bites, and directed to lay a trail by
walking across meadow and then to
conceal himself. Several other trails
had been previously laid across the
same field. A striking exhibition was
then witnessed. Frack and another
dog followed all Of the trails, bringing
back handkerchief from one Of them.

criminal and sprang upon him, but re-
leased him instantly at their masters
command. The sight made me shud-
der. These wise and faithful animals,
could become savage and ravenous
beasts when duty demanded. They al
ways seize their victim by the throat
or the wrist, and a wild pistol shot
only redoubles their zeal and ferocfty.
The poor fellow who impersonated the
criminal was bathed in sweat, which
was not due solely to his leather coat.
