"Sir J.

Com menting on this address the Medical Record remarks that fish "is not only a cheap alternative to meat, hut that It poBsesres some special prop- erties of its ovn. It is usually very digestible, and In these days when In digestion, Intestinal fermentation, and the like are most common disor ders this is a very great feature in its favor and should particularly commend lt to an American public."

Roland Park, a suburb not far from Baltimore, is in many ways a model community, and as such has suffered long from the stray cat nuisance, says Suburban Life for January. For years It seemed to be the Mecca for all the cats which were abandoned on the streets of Baltimore. Finally, it was decided to use traps, and the plan was put into execution, although lt aroused considerable criticism from people who owned pet cats and feared that they would lose them. For a few months the harvest of cats was large. The traps, which were set In various parts of the town where the cats were In clined to congregate, apparently for the purpose of holding nightly concerts, were of a kind commonly used to catch rabbits, consisting of a long box, with a trap door at one end, this door, being connected with a spring Inside the trap. On the whole, and In spite -of asms ad verse criticism, the plan has worked well, it Is not an Ideal one, perhaps, but It Is humane and accomplishes Its purpose. The President and the People.

SEVEN FAMOUS BEAUTIES Diana de When Diana de Poitiers had entered her 60th year htr control over Henry II of France had suffered no diminution, and her charms are said to have still been those of a woman of 25. To ac count for a fact so extraordinary, her enemies Invented a story to the effect that she dealt In the black art and that she was Indebted for her perennial youth to potions compounded by unholy hands, - One or two historians of the time, who have left works otherwise worthy of credit, havt not hesitated to assert their belief In this singular su perstition. But Diana's magic was one which any lady may practice without endangering her soul the magio of amiability, regular habits and vigorous exercise, Diana has been thus described by a historian of the reign of Francis I: "Her features were regular and classical; her complexion was faultless, her hair, of a rich purple black, which took a golden tint in the sunshine, while her teeth, her ankles, her hands and her arms were each In their turn the theme of the court poets." That the extraordinary and almost fabulous duration ofBr beauty was In a great degree due to the precautions which she adopted there can be little doubt, for she spared no effort to secure it. Diana de Poitiers was 20 years .the senior of Henry, but through her sin gular beauty and fascination ahe in' spired him with an ardent and romantic passion. When this passion was at Its height, Henry married, from motives of, policy, the beautiful Catherine de ycdlcls, who was at the time only 18 moned the Cannons and the Aldrlohee and the Hales and forecast his policy with the definite announcement that he expedted their cooperation. Had they refused to eooperate he could have, found means of bringing them to book. As far as an "aroused public con science" is concerned, that is a mere euphemism.

And the great popular instinct has repudiated those very forces wnicn suc ceeded during the extra session of the Sixty-first congress in hoodwinking an amiable personality lacking In backbone. But Mr. Taft is an able man, and he need not fear to confess a mistake with the avowed purpose of making amends. He is at present on the right traok and, according to advices, the most important center of his activity is to be the de partment of Justice. He is a convert to the belief that guilt is personal, and ft Is worth while to note that he has or dered the withdrawal of civil suits against the beef trust because he be lieves such litigation would retard crim inal prosecutions. Another favorable sign is his renewed Intimacy with Colo nel Roosevelt If he had followed out tne policies of his predecessor from the start, without variableness or shadow of turnlpg, the. written record of his first half term would show to better advan tage. Outlook for 1911 Good. From Harper's Weekly. The outlook Is pretty good. Crops were very good this last year, take them all together. The secretary of agricul ture computes that God gave agricul tural Increase to an amount closely ap proaching nine billion dollars' worth. That would be about a hundred dollars' worth of farm products for each one of us, which would go a loag way If we didn't insist on taking too much of lt out tn eggs at winter prices, and Ore gon apples. No doubt we shall raise enough to eat again this year, and some surplus to sell. There la no hard thump due In busi ness. We. haven't been speculating and laying up repentances on that aacount. We are at peace with the world and likely to continue so. Living Is very high, and we. seem to require a great deal.otlt-an(lof.gOQd. quality.-but, there la a great deal to do and wages are good.

Baker, however, voted for West, while Umatilla remained loyal to Bowermen, ana me acting governor rewarded his supporters and punished his political opponents by locating the Institution at r enaieton.

"CAL. A Still Greater New York. From the Boston Globe, An Important piece of legislation te i oome before the legislature of New Tork at Its approaching session Is a bill to make the city of New Tork still ; larger by annexing Mount Vernon, New t Rochelle, Tonkers, Pelbam and East Chester, the whole to be treated as the county of Westcheeter, These places j are very near New Tork and are as! much a part of lt as soma of the other places embraced in the Greater Newl Tork created some years ago. This bill provides a referendum Inj the towns and olttes mentioned and it is said that sentiment appears favor-j able to the annexation. At any rate, I the people are not going to be coerced. This measure shows that New Tork Is -J rapidly making strides toward being the first otty of the world In slse, and! within a generation may outrank Lon don. London, of course, was created in j the same way in fact, the old London la but a small part of the great Eng lish metropolis. Consolidation seems toJ be In the air. As for Boston, except in govern- menTeXTorm, shela the tenth largesT city in the world. That the city of Bos- ton ought to have closer relation "With her suburbs In respect to health regu lations, fire protection and In other Ways few can successfully deny. An nexation may not be necessary, but co-J operation surely Is required to give th : 1,423,429 persons who live In Greater. Boston the best advantages that the community affords. Spokane's Civic Progress. From the Spokeaman-Revlew.' Tho adoption of the commission plan nf arnvornmAnt. an emhnritpri In fhm n. city charter, marks a decided advance i in xne civio progress oi epoaane. It Is significant and lasting evidence of the fact that the people of this city are righteously determined on a clean, economical administration of Its af fairs and are resolved to make Spo kane not only one of the great' com mercial cities of the northwest, but a community of, homedwellers second to none In Its high moral and clvio char acter. The opposition to the charter was of a particularly insidious type, two powerful agencies being actively en listed against It at the eleventh hour In the city council and the liquor In terests. Both of these forces had con cealed themselves with more or less skill, the former hiding behind an academlo opposition and the latter giv ing out a misleading statement In re gard to Its true position. There were also the favnmif ami. tractors and their allies, who were associated with me various councilman In working against tho charter.- De spite the character of these opponents, cemented together strongly by a com mon Instinct of self-preservatton, the people were never seriously misled, as the result shows conclusively.
