"Oordonl attributed to the Milanese, "an inordl pate love of the -good ..things of the tabls in the following words, which hare baen handed. 'down to us: "They (the Milanese) can neither take a walk. driva, or amuse themselvs in ajiy way,' without conversing on the all engrossing theme of eating. At tha play, in the heart of their families, vea at the spiritual conference, they eannot resist indulging In their favor ite topic." Even in modern times Mi lan retains her old reputation. At Christmas time one can see that aie eats well. A walk through her street will reveal shops laden ujtfc all go64 things neoefisory for the festal season! The beef is prime con better in alt Italy the turkeys apd chickens fat tened to a nicety, and tb4 vegetables like one vast garden. 'f ef&Spa there is a touch of the barbarie is this display. t is true that in that thriving city of northern Italy they work well and long, giving the 11a to those who prate of Latin laziness, but it ia truer still that they eat much. A glance back at earlier days reveala tbe fact that Bar etti, in the sixteenth century, draws a comparison between the Bnglish and the Lombards, likening them to wolvee, not on account of their roughness of manner; for they vrere ever cordial and hoepttable, but because of their rapac ity in eating and - the number and, length of their repaarts. In fact, a family now could. live for three days on the ample supply which was then deenv 4 neceucary for one person. Un til Milan felt the influence of France, the Milanese cooking was of a prime val nature. Their banquets were pro-, digious in length and quality, but lack- Ing in dellciacy. "With eth snap inofg "With the passing of tlnve the fame Of; these good people, increased. The markets of Milan became world-famous. The. Verziere was a market for GTJ&duce of all kinds. There were to be found" meat and vegetables In and out of seapoD, Its fame spread throughout the. plains of Lombard y, and all neighboring cities knew of Its glory. The French Nobility of Today. France's nobility is exactly twice as numerous now it was before the treat revolution of 115 years ago, which was aimed at the aristocracy, and by which all titles of nobility were abolished. Previous to that time there were 238 French princes and dukes; today there are 480. At the be ginning $f the nineteenth century there were -in all 83,000 titled, persona In France, among whom less than 30,000 had a legal right to a coat of arras. There are now, in the thirty third yea;of'Che third republic. 200,- OoQ individuals duly possessed of pat j enta of nobility. At the ttm when the . nobility wan all powerful in France : th aggregate fortunes of the aristocra- ey amounted to one- tenth only of the wealth poaeeased by the nobility today. MAKING MOnn ALUMINUM.

Vhrr thr TurtV I at Home. Few of those who revel in turtle ioup at a Guildhall lunvhoou or din i.sjr have visited the dfjo!:ite. nnla iling Island of Ascension, where the ruftle Is hatched and reared, where ue Is carefully tended by eseprts and 'iaally by slow stages attains tbe ma turity at which the Guildhall cook i an ttep in and claim him for his iwn.

All intruders on their iilvt-s are slain and embalmed care fully. If a worm, or a roach, or any In-f-ct blunders into a hlve-the bees lall upon him and slay him with their Mn'3.
