DESDE Ell CONVENTO.

Pronto vOy a MORN en- mi retro,
Del 6rgano a las tristes vibraciones,
Y antes que exhale mi 1ltimo suspiro
TIE ruego, ipor piedad! que me perdones.
81 me vieras llorar tie c~ausarfa
Mi negra desventura ~sentimiento,
Y en- las noches tn espiritu Vendria
A buscarme en- las sombras del convento.
Fuf p~erjura, iperd6name! No supe
In quito consagrar a tus amores.....
iva va a morir tn desdichada Lupe!
La que deshizo tus primeras flores.
TIL debes comprender cuanto he sufrido
BESIDE que estoy al ~claustro consagrada;
Me basta solamente con tn divide
Para estar en- ell mundo c~astigada.
Cuando ell 6rgano suena por la noche,
Su voz me LENA eli alma de amargura,
Porque me finje ell eco de un reproche
Que me dice: i~retirate, perJura!
Cuando a la bora del rezo la campana
Ldgubremente a meditar invita-
Al tempo de vibrar dice: i~profana.
Al tempo de sonar dice: imaldita!
He pasado en- ell ~claustro sin c~onsuelo
muchas auroras que me dan hastio,
Unicamente profanando ell velo
Por pensar en- tn amor que va no eS MIC.
Els offender a Dios darte un saludo
Estando en- los umbrales de la muerte;
iPero que hacer 81 ell coraz6n no pudo
Deiar un solo instante de quererte?
Lo que mas me provoca sentimiento
Y me hace mas ell coraz6n pedazos,
Els que voy a morir en- ell convento
Debiendo de MORN entire tus brazos.

Con que conformidad, con que dulzura,
Reclinaria en- tn pecho mi cabeza
Para bajar a Ia region obscura.
iVoy a morir y no hay quien me c%onsuele!

Love and the Delicatessen.

From the Chicago If1pune'
Sentiment comes to the defense OF
the delicatessen shop. A clergyman In
New York charges the "delicatessen
habit" with being responsible for many
broken homes. Many women. he says,
permit the little store around the cor
ner to do their cooking for them. with
the result that the husband gets dis
satisfied with life: and crash goes a
happy home. But isn't the delicatessen
shop more of a home maker than a
home breaker? There are thousands
of couples in love who, If they had to
wait until they could set up a little
fat Of their own, with full-fedged
kitchen, kitchen utensils and dishes
let alone D regular dining room
would have to postpone their marriage
for years and years. 1t is the delica-
lessen shop that saves them.
Instead of waiting for the fiat in
used to cook it the couple rent a fur
nished room. screen off a part of it for
a kitchenette, and embark on the sea
of matrimony. trusting to the delica-
lessen store to supplement some Of the
deficiencies Of their meager household.
If tho food purchased in the delica-
lessen shop sometimes is not Of the
best, the ali-forgtving eyes of love
overlook It. Anyway. a man in love is
SO long as 1t is served by the woman
he loves. BY the time he develops a
crouch against delicatessen cookery
that even love cannot assuage he Is
generally in a position to set up q real
fiat, with a real kitchen. And the deli
catessen shop ceases to figure in his
life except as an occasional Indulgence

HER SOLDIERS SHORTER,
But Austria Takes Care in Selecting
Healthy Men.

From the Journal of the American Medical
Association
The new recruiting law of the Austro-
Hungarian forces stipulates a height Of
at least FIVE feet for men TO be
enlisted in the ordinary rank and file
Of the territorial forces or of the navy.
while for those men who will work in
the workshops or arsenals or in the
offices as clerks, the minimum height
will be one inch less than five feet.
Furthermore, the new requirements pay
increased attention to the antecedents
Of the men, especially the mental his
tory. and a history of previous epileptic
attacks or mental instability will make
the man ineligible for the service. In
the last year, when. owing to the un-
certainty of the political situation.
preparations for war included the re-
cruiting of large numbers of men from
apparently underfed districts, it was
noted that persons otherwise quite
healthy did not reach the height limit.
These would be lost If the old law
should continue in force.
At any rate, even with the new law.
the supply of men capable for service
is but sparingly drawn on, not even
l per cent of the population of 10000
900 being under arms in time of peace.
while for war about per cent are
available.

RULING AIDS MEAT PACKERS.
Will Be Permitted to Sell Second.
Glass Sterilized Products.

The Department of Agriculture has
made public a number of new regulations
governing federal meat inspection. Those
concerning domestic meats will go into
effect November l and those concerning
imported meats are to become effective
January l, 1915.
Under the new regulations packers are
to be permitted to sell second class steril-
lied meat on a plan somewhat similar to
that followed by the German and Aus
trian governments. 1t is to be plainly
labeled "second-class sterilized." The
regulations state in part:
This sterilized cooked meat which the
packers are to be permitted to sell is the
meat of portions of animals the fat of
which the old regulations permitted the
packers to make into edible lard and tai
low The process Of rendering served to
sterilize the fat and make st entirely
hygienic. The new plan extends the
same principle so as 70 utilize the lean
portions of this meat which heretofore
packers have not been allowed to sell
for food purposes

The Oyster and the Starish.
From the Chicago Post.

From the Chicago Post
In the waters that surround Rhode
Island a great conflict is in progress, and
the consumer Of oysters is interested
deeply interested-in its outcome
The contending forces are the para
sitical starfish, on the one side. and, on
the other, the bivalvuar mollusk that
tastes SO well In stews. The starfish fs

oyster are ineffectively repelled by that

emy embraces it, slips a score of little
suckers between the edges of its shells
and extracts the oyster neatly, IL not
painlessly. The starfish cost the Rhode
Island oyster industry S2JO.OOO last year.
They are likely to cost the state much
more IL something is not done TO rid the
shoal water of this greedy pest, for the
oyster companies threaten to abandon
the industry If the starfish are allowed
to remain. The industry nets the state
itself more than s130.O00 year in

TRAVELETTE.
BY NIKSAH.
".

Despite the persistent bleak drizzliness
Of the German Erzgebirge, or Ore noun
tains, there is at least one feature of life
upon this range which fascinates the
American traveller. Here he makes the
acquaintance of a kitchen with just three
staples. bread, goose and mushrooms, and
while the first two may be lacking. the
mushrooms are always present.
Among the poorer people in the Erzge-
birge. the mushroom is the staff Of life.
These people know nothing Of the follies
Of large American cities, where q steak
smothered in mushrooms can only be ne
gotiated by the aid of plethoric check
book. They sit down to steaming bowl
Of mushrooms three times a day and
dream of such luxuries as potatoes and
onions.
The average American traveller who
errs aimlessly into the Ore mountains
takes kindly to the idea of a mushroom
diet as a matter of thrift. While the
novelty lasts. he is perfectly content to
have but mushrooms in lieu of all the
foods he left behind him. When his ap-
petite for the succulent fungi is appeased,
however-which happens after a week or
more of nothing else-he tries the goose
and bread
There comes a time, though. should he
linger in this chill. damp country between
Saxony and Bohemia, when the mushroom
forever loses It's monotony as an article
OF food. He comes to know the vegetable
as the natives know it. He learns to dis
tinguish several score varieties; learns Ia
appreciate their subtle shades of differ.
ence. and thereafter he can dispense with
terrapin and lobster. with caviar and
! oysters, with pheasants, grouse and arti.
chokes SO long as crisp. springy mush-
rooms are set before him.
One Of the most important hours OF
the Erzgebirge school child is that in
which he learns the peculiarities Of diff
| ferent kinds Of fungi and to distinguish
the edible mushroom from poisonous SIS.
ter plants. He learns the names and
qualities of more than a hundred varie-
ties of mushrooms with which he may
vary his life's menu. All of them are te
be gathered free in the forest.
While the children study mushrooms in
the schools, the grown-ups hold mush-
room shows. which correspond with our
own country fairs. 1t Is needless to add
that the Erzgebirge bride must know how
| to prepare mushrooms many. many ways
before she can marry happily.

UNB|DDEN IMMIGRANTS
Do ODAMACE IN COUNTRY
Gypsy and Browntail Moths Have
Devastated Vast

People Suffer Discomforts of Rash as
Result of Nefarious
Pests.

Two unbidden immigrants came into
the United States some years ago; to-
day. they are the objects of the combined
attack of the federal and several state
governments. which have turned to Eu-
rope and Asia for help in their fight
Not only have the two unwelcome visi-
tors devastated vast vegetable tracts in
this country, but one of them has origi-
mated and introduced new human all
ment that is doing great damage to the
business Of summer resorts. The two i'm
migrants are the gyspy moth and the
brown tail moth. The warfare being
waged against them is described in a
communication to the National Geogra-
phic Society by DIR. L. o. Howard.
The gypsy moth, according to the writ
er. was brought to this country for ex-
perfmental purposes by French pro-
fessor of astronomy In a New England
university. Its importation Is about the
only case Of its kind on record. The
brown tall came to our shores in the
normal course Of commerce. From 1892
until 1900 both species We're confined to
Massachusetts, where a bitter fight was
waged against them by the state From
1900 to 1908, however. they were unmol-
holders. Since 1905 Massachusetts has
been Joined in her fight by New Hamp-
shire, Maine, Rhode Island and Connec-

ernment has stepped in to prevent the
further spread over the face of the
country.
