matter in what tongue he is singing,
an interesting incident, centering about
the late King Edward of England has
been retold recently.
Mr.. Clark was appearing In recital
before the king in London after his
first great success there, and sang in
English, French and German. Finally
Edward turned 10 the duchess of Man
chester. and said with puzzled air:
u can not place the nationality OF
Mr.. Clark. When ne sang in French.
| thought ne must DE from France, and
when he sang Schumann, said he
surely must De German. And then,
when ne sang in English, l knew that
he was English"
He is neither French. German nor
English replied the duchess with
smile. He is from my own land,
America
Well" said his majesty. 1T makes
no difference from whence he came
] never had such lump in my throat
as when he sang 1ch Grolle NIGHT .
Mr.. Clark will be heard here in re-
cital at the Baptist temple on Thanks

Food for Cattle.

A contribution to the old question OF
using prickly pear (Opuntia) as food
for cattle takes the form Of bulletin
Of the department of agriculture o.
Bon.bay. The author describes ex-
perlments at the government dairy at
Kirdee, in which six bullocks were fed
with mixture Of 100 parts OF 'ckly
pear to six parts of cottonseed at the
rate of Z: pounds to each 1000 pounds
live weight day during six months.
The spines, which form the danger In
feeding prickly pear, were burned OF
over q stove, after which the fodder
was cut into small pieces by means
Of chat cutter or . chopper. This
experiment and others proved, that .
mixture of prickly pear and cotton
seed will not only support life. but will
restore half-starved animals to good
condition.
