and Dorking ancestors.
1t has the muffs of the Houdan, the
feathered legs of the Brahma and the
single comb and long deep body formation
of the DorlSing.
There are three recognized varieties
of the F'ayerolle, viz: The Light or Err
mine sometimes being bred pure white),
the Black and the Salmon.
The Solman Faverolle, which is the SUBJ
ject of today's illustration, is a parti-
colored fowl and in its coloring, as well
as in its formation, 1t plainly shows the
varying influences which were brought to
bear in it's makeup.
In the COCK the breast wing bar, body,
tail and foot feathers are black: the
muffs dark licked with white. The hackle,
wing bows and saddle are straw-colored,
while the back and shoulders are mixed
straw and brown color.

London. January A.-(Special Lord
Rosslyn became so domesticated after his
third and latest marriage (his second
spouse was an American actress. Anna.
Robinson) that the public and indeed his
own friends were beginning to lose sight
of him. He even went so far as to take
out his children in the perambulater and
friend hearing OF this lay in wait and
snap-shotted him as he wheeled the
youngsters. But his love of the tables"
has again claimed him. His third wife

her success in keeping him from the tables
was the amazement of everyone. All the
same when she saw 1t was hopeless to
stay longer she helped him all she could
with the new system with which lie is
ito make his fortune" He is confident
he will net fortune. If the statements
he writes to his friends here from Monte
Carlo are true he Is having some sensa-
tional wins. In the past he lost SO heavily
that the authorities of the tables de-
cared they would not have him in the
rooms again. They have had to pay his
fare home many times-a custom of theirs
when good client goes broke" A let
ter from Monte Carlo tells me the earl is
real sport" and the best loser that
ever stood in shoe leather. His family
are all furious with him. but he snaps
his fingers at all except the Dowager
Duchess of Sutherland, who has always
had soft corner in her heart for him
and helped to get him out of many a
scrape. He and Lady Warwick, his other
sister, are very much alike in character
with the same grit and capacity for get
ting themselves out of holes.

breast are creamy white. The back,

the thighs and fiuff are ashy brown. The
foot feathering is creamy white.
1t Is said by the French that as ideal
farmyard fown the Faverolles stand un-

ty, great hardness, superior qualities of
flesh and good laying qualities. Also they
are said to be good mothers and sitters.
As exhibition birds Faveroles of any
variety are apt to be somewhat disap-
pointing. Since they have been bred to
color for a very short time they do not
breed true to very great degree How
ever their very real worth should more
than compensate for any deficiencies In
this respect. Furthermore they give the
fancier splendid opportunity to show

teristics of this truly splendid breed

While the Faverolle has been bred in
France for the last % years, 1t is of COM
paratively recent introduction in this
country
The fowl was first produced in the viii
lage of Faverolles, in the department of
Eure- Et-Loire. in France, a district in
which poultry keeping is the chief in
dustry. The poultrymen of this section,
in their efforts to produce large, meaty,
quick growing birds, introduced crosses of
Brahma, Cochin and Dorking on the ma
tive fowl, which are largely Houdans,
and Of these crosses the Faverolle is the
result.
The Faverolle is a large, blocky fowl,
having great depth of body and being
broad and full in all sections. The legs
are moderate in length and are rather
fine in bone. 1t has five toes, deriving

The Barre daily times. (Barre, Vt.) 1897-1959, 1914-04-10

The new police commissioner of New
York City, Arthur Woods, is a college
trained man of more than the usual EN-
phasis, having been graduated at Har-
ward university and having taken grad
uate work at the University of Berlin,
Germany, and having been engaged in
teaching for time prior to taking up
newspaper work in the metropolis which
Ire will now serve. Commissioner Woods
did spend a little time studying police
systems in Europe, but the only prac-
tical experience he has had in the work
was as deputy commissioner in New
York for a short time. It seems likely,
therefore, that the gown will have Il
rather difficult time in controlling the
town, although Woods may surpass the
expectations of the ordinary observer.
Mayor Mitchell expresses great conf
dence in the ability of his new police
head to cope with the situation, and
it is to be hoped that the confidence is
not misplaced. Whatever the result of
the experiment, it is probable that
Woods enters under his work untram-
meled as to association with the "sys-
tenn" so-called.

that it does any institution or any
cause vast amount of good to be stirred
out of the lethargy that is apt to en-
compass it with long -continued freedom
from criticism. Therefore, even though
the Carnegie report should fail to pro-
duce marked changes in the public school
system or the relations between the col
leges and the state, it will not have been
entirely without influence in the prog
ress which the state is bound to make
in its educational life. For instance, we
expect to note that all three of the coll
leges viii be stirred into greater endeav-
or to do the utmost for the young people
of the state.

THE INFLUENCE OF THE CARNEGIE
REPORT.

The prediction has been made that
nothing will come of the Carnegie re-
port on education here in Vermont, but
such forecast is probably unsound, for
the report unquestionably will have
mighty influence on educational thought
in the state for years to come. It
would not be strange, however. If most
of the specific points for legislation are
ignored for some time because of the
many interests that might combine to.
defeat such legislation.-St Adams Mes
senger.
Undoubtedly you are right. There are
many features about the report which
appear reasonable; and, on the other
hand. there are features which strike
the average vermonter as unreasonable
and perhaps unsuited to Vermont but
which viii cause the people of the state
to ponder the situation quite seriously.
The three colleges of the state, although
they came in for criticism more or less
severe, are likely to indulge in certain
amount of introspection in an honest en-
deavor TO determine whether they arc
doing all they possibly can do for the
development of the educational interests
of the state. The Times feels that in
some respects the Carnegie report on the
colleges was too sharp and too drastic;
but at the same time, this paper feels
