Court Trains.

At the coronation Of Queen Adelaide
that lady's train tore itself away from
the bodice, taking part of the latter
with it. When Elizabeth Of Austria
entered Paris to marry Charles TX.
her train was seventy feet long and
greatly admired by the people. Eliza
beth Of Valois wore a train six yards
long, which was carried after her by
gentlemen as she danced. Mary, queen
Of Scots, is said to have worn a twelve
yard train at balls, also carried by a
gentleman.-Pall Mall Magazine.

good care during the winter months.
Without proper care and attention as
well as suitable quarters the turkeys
will not go through the winter I'm good
health. and consequently they will not
be in good condition for the breeding
season. and that means roor success
with the young. The young turkeys
that are bred from healthy stock are
hard enough to raise without the extra
handicap OF none too healthy breeders.
Turkeys do not want damp, stuffy
quarters I'm winter. A we'll lighted open
shed or loft that Is fitted up so as to
prevent direct drafts, but which pro-
vides good ventilation at all times,
makes a good place to keep them. Tur-
keys can stand a good deal of cold. but
they cannot stand foul smelling quar-
tiers. Fix up some broad perches
couple of feet from the floor in the tur-
keys shed. provide trouehs for grit
and water and i'm real cold weather put
some straw or other litter on the floor.
Feed corn and other grains regularly
and during severe cold weather give an
occasional feed OF warm mash.
There are seven recognized breeds of
turkeys. but the Bronze, the Bourbon

Potatoes For Fowls.

When potatoes are used for fattening
we advise the ration as follows three
measures of cooked potatoes. two meas
ures ground oats, one measure barley
meal. The potatoes should be cooked
with lump Of fat if possible; then mix
liquor and all with the meals. When
ground oats cannot be obtained use
fine pollards or middlings.-Western

tons with stock rather than with eggs
the fall is the best time to obtain such
stock. The birds will then have ample
time to become acquainted with their
surroundings before the opening of
the breeding season. The breeders
should be separated from the turkeys
that are to be marketed before fatten-
ing commences, as the breeding stock
is easily injured by getting the birds
overfat. If necessary TO confine any

Up to their fifth year turkeys are
profitable as breeders, though it is
good plan to change gobblers every
year, especially If some of the young
females are retained as breeders. The
male should never be related to any Of
the hens. Hens are not fully matured
until two years old, and they are at
their best during the next two or three
years. During the mating season the
proper proportion to divide the sexes is
from six to ten hens with one gobbler,
although successful matches are often
obtained when larger number of fe-
males are allowed to each male. When
turkeys are properly mated the eggs
are usually very fertile.

of several newspapers published in the
German language had become very
satisfactory" but that other news
papers had required suppression. The
newspapers published in German, how
ever, are in widely separated localities
and their const tuencies confined to the
local section which they serve.
1t is a different proposition in the
province of Quebec, where the majority
of the newspapers are published in
French and serve a French-speakin:
constituency. which elects French
speaking members of the provincial
and the Dominion parliament.
Some of these newspapers are eau
tious in their antagonism. Others are
equally cautious in their support. The
journals of the latter class quote the
speeches of the provincial premier. Sir
Lomer Gown, urging loyalty. Some
also quote the utterances of high
ecclesiastical authority urging the duty
of patriotism, but none of the journals
published in French assume that the
censorship can abridge their right Of
free discussion.
The papers published in English ap-
parently are seeking to observe re-
quirements of the censorship, though
it sometimes makes them woefully dull.
They are presumed not to publish any
thing of military nature which would
be useful to the enemy-The Dominion
censors, like those in London, have
queer notions of what constitutes news
that would be useful to the enemy, and
some amusing incidents result.
Sometimes the censor merely mildly
demonstrates against what he considers
an indiscretion. The newspapers on
their part occasionally point out the
futility of seeking to suppress news
that is bound to be spread broadcast
through its publication in the Amer-
can papers. But, on the whole, the
newspapers and the censors get along
pretty well.
1t is clear from the comment already
published by some of the leading Cana
dian papers that they do not regard
the recruiting situation in Quebec as
one which calls for suppression. lest
it's discussion might convey military
information of value to the enemy. An
interesting time is ahead in Quebec the
governments campaign for French
Canadian recruits.

Curious Burial Custom.

a CURIOUS burial custom has been
~ observed for centuries by the
house of Hapsburg. the most ancient OF
the reigning houses of Europe. On
the death of the Austrian emperor the
body is carried by the shortest way
from the imperial palace to the crypt
of the ancient monastery of the Capu-
chins near Vienna. No one appears to
receive the royal cortege. Thereupon
the master of ceremonies knocks on
mands admission.
Who is there?" asks the voice of the
guardian monk from within.
His majesty. the most high Emperor
Of Austria, King of Hungary. Duke OF
Syria" and so forth, replies the mas,
ter of ceremonies, as he recites the
long list of the dead mans titles.
II know no such man." CURLY res

closed door.

"Our brother (whatever the dead

the voice of the guardian monk, and
the body is admitted. There follows

Some one, however. went a little fur
Their into this statistical analysis of
Canadian patriotism From this IN
quiry it developed that in the last fif-
teen years Ontario has received frac-
ton under 100000 immigrants. while
Quebec has been able to welcome fewer
than 5000 A large proportion of
the immigrants into Ontario have been
from the British Isles. while apparently
the proportion into Quebec from this
source has been small Quebec's growth
in population has been due more to
the fecundity of her French popula-
tion than to immigration. The large
French Canadian families are proven
bal, in striking contrast to the small
families in France.

Further analysis of the statistics of
volunteers showed that while Ontario
with 100000 Inhabitants to draw from
had contributed $4,000 volunteers. the
provinces of Manitoba and Saskatche-
wan, with a population of $4,000. had
contributed $4,000. or almost double the
percentage of Ontario. Alberta, with
$4,000 inhabitants. had supplied $4,000,
and British Columbia, with fraction
under 100000 people, had contributed
10000 recruits.
On TINS showing the province VI W.
tario hardly could claim a pre-eminence
in patriotism. The northwestern prov
inces, with a very large proportion OF
recently arrived immigrants from the
British Isles. and with also the usual
preponderance of unmarried men in
new country, naturally in the begin
ming were quickest to respond to the
call to arms in defense of the empire.
This seems a rational explanation,
but it does not fully satisfy the ultra
loyal British element in Ontario.
Moreover attention is directed in the
fresh recruiting to the small number
of volunteers in the province of Quebec.
and even to attacks on recruiting Of
ficers.
