ITALY'S FAMOUS IRON CROWN
Symbol Of Royalty That Goes Far
Back Into the Records Of Euro
pean History.

One Of the most famous crowns is
that which is not bedecked with Jew
els, but is made of iron. This historic
iron crown has played a romantic role
in the history of Italy. It was fash
ioned in the year 594 by the command
it is said, of Theolinda, the widow Of a
Lombard king, on the occasion of her
marriage to duke of Turin.
The iron is overlaid with gilt. The
significance Of the crown was sup
posed to lie in the fact that the weight
of royalty could never be nghtened by
its splendid exterior. The iron Of the
inner portion was traditionally held
to be one of the long nails used at the
crucifxion.
For a long time the crown was kept
in the famous monastery at Monza-
In TIA it was brought forth to be
placed upon the head of Charlemagne
as king of the Lombards," and on
later occasions it figured in the tri-
umphs of Frederic " and Charles v.
Finally, in the presence Of all the rep
resentatives Of state, the foreign en-
voys and princes and officers, Ma
poleon Bonaparte solemnly united it
to the crown of France.
The crown belongs to the state, and
the custodian Of it is the legitimate
representative of the basilica Of Mon
"a. The title of grand custodian" !"
however, pertains to the head Of the
Order of Cavaliers.

COWS FREsHEN IN THE FALL
MIX Flow Kept Up for Longer Period
and Produced During the Season
Of High Prices.
By W. FREEHoFF. wisconsin,

CBy W. FlREEHOFF, Wisconsin.)
For COWS to freshen twice a year
really sounds like nature taking, but
that is just what happens to COWS that
freshen In the fall.
Good feeding and careful attention
keep up large flow Of milk all win
ter; then in the spring when the green
herbage comes the rule, again the man
ufacture of milk receives a fresh stim.
ulus.
Thus by fall freshening the milk
flow is not only kept up for longer
period of time than would otherwise
be the case, but the most milk is pro-
duced during the season Of highest
prices. In this lies the chief superb
ority Of winter over summer dairying.
Cows that freshen in the spring dry
up quickly in the fall when the grass
is no longer present; few farmers take
good care Of dry COW during the
wdnter SO that the next year the anil
NAL will be still less useful. Such de-
teIioration in e cow is often greater
than the entire value Of her milk
products.
Then again, the COWS need most
protection during the summer months
when labor may be used to better ad-
vantage in the fields, while during the
winter months no labor can find en-
ployment. Summer dairying has abb
solutely nothing to commend 1t.
Feed is about the same price in the
summer as in the winter, while winter
labor is cheaper; this, with the in
creased price for winter products
makes winter dairying by far the more
profitable.

DILEMMA FOR YOUNG WIFE
One Naturally Would Think That the
Cook Book Might Have Been

They had been married but a few
weeks when they decided to have a
turkey dinner for some friends. The
young wife was very inexperienced in
cooking and spent some time in con
sulting her cook book. The bird ar
rived, and the young husband asked:
Don't you know how to do it, dear
egt?"
They both gazed solemnly at the
turkey for moment, and then the
wife replied:
"Yes, darling, it's all quite clear ex-
cept one thing, and I can't quite un-
derstand that"
"And what is that. loVe?" asked the
young husband, anxiously.

The lessons of the first quarter Of
this years cycle chiefly present Jesus
as the great teacher. Those of the
second quarter principally concern the
aspect of his saviorhood, whereas dur
ing this present quarter we see him
mainly as the great judge. These les
sons have dealt with matters which
occurred during the last months, we
may almost say the last weeks, of his
life. During that year Of opposition"
he is met with the most determined
hostility and persecution. Neverthe-
less he proceeds against 1t all with
calm assurance, in strict justice and
without shadow of faltering.
This reading lesson contains the
most celebrated and familiar verse in
the bible. In it We see:
A mighty God-'For God''
A mighty motive-"So loved
A mighty scope-'The world"
A mighty sacrifce-"so gave His only be-
gotten Son"
A mighty escape-'Not perish
A mighty g1ft-"Eternal nfe."
We here see Jesus set forth In grace
and while it does not declare that he
came to Judge, yet, in the passage are
set forth those principles upon which
he is constantly the Judge, and where
by he will eventually act in the last
and final judgment

That merchant marine suffi-

should have built the railroads.
That this is the time to turn
the trade of the southern repub-
lies from Europe to ourselves as
it should always have been.
Fhst the United States should
prepare to supply manufactured
goods to those countries of the
world. and to ourselves, that

and that for this purpose the
water power of the Union should
be more generally developed and

That the United States wants
