Paris, November SO-(SpeciaL)-To the American hostess who wants 10 give her guests the latest and greatest treat in the way of strange and unusual menus here is the authenticated copy of fare from the beleaguered city of Adrianople. It is vouched for by the Constantinople corre- spondent of the Paris Figaro.
 The Turkish pasha has as his principal guest beautiful French lady who re- fused to leave Adrianople when the Bull gars began their bombardment and when most of the foreigners had already sought havens of safety To mark his apprecia- tion of the honor conferred upon him in the visit of the fair Frenchwoman the gallant pasha instructed his chef to spare not the larder in preparing the banquet. This was the result translated from the chefs witty and picturesque French:
 Chopped grass from the fortress moat.
 Consomme a la Ravine.
 Fig-snails a la Scutar.
 Castroped jelly garnished with Bria spiders heads.
 Prime fattened rats broiled and seasoned with cheese and chopped walnuts.
 Bay leaves steeped in oil.

 Several of the smart hostesses of Paris are already proceeding to make use of this menu with judicious improvements.

Is Man an Automaton?

From Man As a Mechanism, in the Metropolitan.
 The individual, whether it be an aphid, butterfly, or a man, is, according to Prof. Jacques Loeb, a mechanism. As a biologist who has made experiment after experiment, he takes the position that we are all automatons. Man, even though , he is a creature of blood, bone, brawn and brain is made up of protoplasm cells. His acts can all be analysed into reac- tion due to the influence or stimuli made possible by a complex civilization and complex nervous structure.
 When we shake hands we are obedient to the law behind reactions, even though we. cannot as yet analyze the warmth of the clasp into it's chemical elements. Our likes and dsil<es. our growing distrust of friend according to this theory, are all due to chemical changes taking place in the substance of our being, that IS to say. in our protoplasm. He believes that the chemistry of living matter-of the human body. for instance-is not specih- cally different from that of the labora- | tory.
 He believes that living organisms are chemical machines possessing the pecu- larity of developing, preserving and re- producing themselves automatically He believes that We eat, drink and re- produce, not because mankind has reached an agreement that this is desir- able but because. machine-like we are compelled to do so.
 He believes that a mother loves and cares for her children not because meta physicians had an idea that this was de- sirable. but because the instinct of talk fuo carp of fha xoIIOp iS inherited, a
 He believes that we seek and enjoy the fellowship of human beings because of in herted instincts. and that we struggle for justice and truth since we are compelled to see our fellow beings happy.
 In d word he believes that the inner life the hopes. fears, efforts and disap- pointments should be open to a physico- chemical analysis, and that they will be,
 in time, in spite of the gulf which today

 The engagement of Miss Howard, the eldest grandchild of Lord Strathcona, to Lieut. James Butler. Kitson of his majes- tvs ship King Edward VII, is of more than ordinary interest, as her mother. the wife of Dr. Howard, is Lord Strathcona S only child and heir, by special remainder, to his peerage.

London, November 30.-(Speclal) liking George is desirous of bringing all the great powers of chivalry into line bysassociat- ing with them a religious ceremonial to be appointed at stated intervals. The new practice was introduced in the pre- vious reign by the establishment of an annual service in the chapel of tho Order of St. Michael and St.. George, within the Cathedral of St. Paul. King George him self has enlarged this new feature of tn, social side of modern chivalry by restor- ing to the chapel of St. George. at Wind sor, an annual service of ceremonial prayer on behalf of the Campanionshlp of the Garter. The new Thistle chapel in Edinburg is to be used in tho same way, and it may be taken for granted that as soon as the conditions permit a similar event in the current life of the Order of St. Patrick will be established In Dublin. The next order to be dealt with in this way will be the Bath, which has always been traditionally associated with Henry WITS chapel in the Abbey It is many a long year since the bannerets and in signia of the knights were revised. In- deed, the ceremony which is to be held there next summer will be a revival of a
 
 than a century. The statutes of the order have been revised on two occasions since that date, but there has never been chapter of the Bath In the Abbey during all that long and stirring period.
 The Bath is presumed to have been in- stituted in the 14th century, but there Is a good deal of polite fiction about the records of the Heralds ill this as in other matters. Be this as it may. the modern Rafh it's raViNa1 n | Nuh made it an order of single class, and at that time the knights were only a tiny bit above the rank of mere Knights Bach elors. But a century ago two other classes were introduced, and in the mid dle of the century the statutes were en- larged and the number of possible recip- ients were increased to the enormous total of 1216, exclusive of the princes of the blood royal and certain distinguished foreigners. The collar of the order weighs no less than two and one-half pounds and in the military division has been rightly regarded as a distinction to be coveted, because admission to 1t has

Of course these good time are entirely due to the fact that President Taft mas been sitting thoughtfully on the lid for the past four years. They remind them that the President has been on the job what time he wasn't whaling the festive golf ball--watching out for their interests with a long range telescope. They tell them if the democrats capture the gov crnment that it will be a dark brown calamity, and that prosperity will wing it's flight for unknown shores and points south, and that large numbers of fed eral officehoders now the leading citi- zens of their respective communities will have to work for living.
 They will point out the fact that under President Taft's administration the potato crop this year promises to pass all previ- ous records. Tn fact the cereal crop this year of the Taft administration will make all the other attempts to raise cereals under former administrations look like three card flush against an acre-full. Do we want to return to democratic ad- ministration without potatoes? Let the noble sons of Ireland answer. Taft pros- perity and Irish potatoes go hand in hand.
 Secretary Wilson however. in speaking of the big crops, says: "The crops are the heaviest on record. The season has been favorable, but some credit is due to the wide efforts made in late years by the federal government and the states to help farmers throughout the country to get better returns for the average acre" Traitor. Trying to take credit to himself, and not giving 1t where 1t belongs. Thus do we again see where the President has been the victim of traiterous ingratitude. But the Prosperity league will see to 1t, with the aid of ''Jedge" Cole and Ebene- ger. that the credit for prosperity .s given to the one great man most responsible for it. and that he is reelected.
