Dr. Schenck asserts that the lulluouco of determining the sex lies entirely with tho mother. Ho upproves a liberal diet of albuminous food nnd requlrex that It shall bo taken for a period of four months. He says a woman who desired a mnlo offspring hod tbo fol lowing diet betoro undergoing hla treat ment: Breakfast A cup of coffee, with milk and sugar and a roll. Lunch Two lightly boiled eggs, bacon and a roll. DlnneMsoup, with balls of fat meat, rtany potatoes, green vegetables and a good quantity of pudding, sweets and fruit. Llttlo meat wns permitted. Tea or sweet coffee with cako could bo taken. Supper Cold meat, rake, pudding and bread. A glass nnd a halt of water with wlno was drunk during the day.

No potatoes, peas, beans or linseed as vegetables. No pudding or fruit. Some cheese, tea or milk, eggs and biscuits. Supper Fresh roast meat, cheese, a little bread and apple. Three glasses of "water were taken dally, with a llttlo whlto wine. Again tho diet had to be varied, for, al though the latter prescription contained much .more albumen, it was not sulllctently dissolved. Tho albuminous food, therefore, wag Increased and tho fatty substances and carbo-hydrates withdrawn for ten days. This was continued later. The treatment satisfied the doctor nnd tho woman after ward was allowed to choose her own diet. Tho result wub entirely satisfactory. Dr. Schenck monttons twenty-nine such cases In nddltlotl to tho fifteen mentioned In bis first work. Ho considers that any woman might adopt his muthod with tho aid of her family doctor.

(New York World Cablegram Special Telegram.) Ambition sated and lovo denied This In brief Is the history of Wlnnlngton Ingram, King Ed ward's new nppolntvo to tho see of Lon don. A bishop nt 42 of tho world's metropolis In direct line of succession to tho archbishopric of Canterbury, the proudest ecclesiastical honor In Great lirltaln's gift, with riches nnd worldly power at command, ho has all that heart could dcslro .sale love. The bishop has burled his romance, but It has left Its mark. Tho story of Arthur Foley Wlnnlngton Ingram would convert tho most hardened skeptic to belief In the law of compensation. Ills father's modest living at Stamford rectory Inspired the studious boy with simple .tastes nnd when ho obeyed a call to tho priesthood ho was Mtliflcd to begin at tha bottom of tho ladder. He filled tho post of curato nt St. Mary's, Shrewsbury, hixtecn years ago, at tho opening of his enrecr. In 1893 ho was rector of Ilethnal Green. Two years later he had become canon of St. Paul's and the surtragon bishop of Stepney. Ills preferment was literally tho work of bis own hands. Ho labored for his parish with a zeal that was almost unparalleled. No sacrifice was too great. Ho was one with his people, lived among them and was Idolized by them. They called him "Tho Working Illshop." He used to say laugh ingly that he was tho busiest man In Lon don, for he prepared speeches on top of omnibuses, composed sermons In tram enrs and ato his lunch in tho underground trains. Ilrtrntlicd to DauKlitrr or Luxury. It was tw'o years ago thnt tho bishop's romance came to a focus, . when It wns nnnounced that Lady Ulrica Duucombe, youngest of tho four fnmous beauties, daughters of tho earl of Faversham, was to becoino his bride. All London was startled. Tho bride-to-be, strikingly like her lovely sister, tho lata duchess of Lclnstcr, was barely 21. Her del'lcatc charm had been fostered In an environ ment of softest luxury. Tho mnn sho had chosen dwelt among tho masses In the most laborious diocese In Kngland. It would mean self-immolation, her friends said. Hut tho nffalr was evidently a lovo match. Lady Ulrica, always of n serious cast of thought, entered heart and soul Into tho bishop's plans. For thrco short months ho lived In a fool's paradise, beforo the en gagement was abruptly broken. Whether her eournga' faltered, or whatever Interfered, nono dared ask. Hut with tho wedding day already In view tbo benuty, who had declined an carl for his sake, refused to marry her churchman lover. Tho bishop, stunned by tho blow which crumbled his happiness, wont abroad. He returned a changed man. Hp Is still "The Working Illshop" with a llfo devotion to his work which has spiritualized and ennobled his, face and bearing, nut tho youthful buoyancy thnt characterized his splendid energy has gone. His romance cost him dear. King Kdward'a appointment was In the nature of a reward for his labors In his pofrcr diocese. Ingram Is tho youngast holder of thu see.
