Foreign Wars Probable.

If we may believe the Paris CORE
spondent of the New York Times, a war
between Germany and France, and an
other between Germany and Russia,
are not very far off. In the first place
Germany is watching with suspicious
interest the French operations il Tunis,
which are arousing Moslem fanaticism
to the utmost. Recently Turkish pa
per published fierce call to the faith
full to unite in resistance to the en-
croachments of rapacious Christendom.
Against this the Russian ambassador at
Constantinople protested, but was
snubbed for his pains, the government
declaring that it would not interfere
with the free publication of The relig-
ious sentiments of the nation. This I'M
usual boldness is explained by the fact
that Turkey is really under German
protection. Bismarck, who has lost
prestige by the late elections, is anx-
ious to recover it by encouraging the
idea that Germany is in danger, and by
annexing more French territory. The
Tunisian enterprise and the undeniaby
demoralized condition of the French
military service favor his plans. He
does not like Russia much better than
France, but the personal liking of the
aged emperor for his Russian relatives
has compelled him to wait. This cause
of delay cannot last long, for the kaiser
is very feeble, and his end is evidently
fast approaching. His son, and pros
pective successor, has no love for the
czar, and hence a change of monarchs
will involve change Of policy. This
statement of the case may be entirely
imaginary, but the possibility of such
an outcome alarms European capital

The Boys Heart.

Get hold of the boys heart. Wonder
locomotive comes like whirlwind
down the track, and regiment of
armed men might seek to arrest it in
vain. 1t would crush them and plunge
unheediDg on. But there is little
lever in its mechanism that at the
pressure of a mans hand, will Stacker
its speed, and in a moment or two
bring it painting and still, like whipped
spaniel, at your feet BY the same ht-
tie lever the vast steamship is guided
hither and yon, upon the sea, in spite
of adverse wind or current. That sensi-
tive and responsive spot by which a
boys life is controlled, is his heart.
With your grasp gently and firmly on
that helm, you may pilot him whittier
you will. Never doubt that he has a
heart. Bad and willful boys very often
have the tenderest hearts hidden away
somewhere beneath incrustations Of
sin or barbados Of pride. And it is
your business to get at that heart, get
hold of that heart, keep hold of it by
sympathy, confiding in him, manifest
ly working only for his good by little
indirect kindnesses to his mother or
sister, or even his pet dog. See him
at his home or invite him into yours.
Provide aim some little pleasure, set
him ut some little service of trust for
you; love him practically. Any way
and every way rule him through the
heart.-AnOn-

The Tower of London.

The tower of London is the most
celebrated citadel of England, and the
only fortress of the British capital. It's
history is, to great extent, the history
&C the kingdom. Within its walls some
of the most noted political and religious
characters have been confined, tortur-
ed and beheaded. The tower is in the
extreme of the city, and consists of
towers, batteries, forts, ramparts, bar
racks and storehouses. 1t is surround
ed by II considerable moat and covers
an area of twelve or thirteen acres. The
oldest part is what is known as the
White tower, which was built by Will
lam the Conqueror, and which has not
been changed Made, but has been re-
nodded externally. Some of the
walls are fourteen feet thick,
which made it practically I'M
pregnable in its day. The no
table places to be seen by the visitors
are; The Traitors Gate, opposite to
which is the White tower, and through
which the prisoners like Raleigh were
taken TO their cells the Bloody Tower
is also nearly opposite, and there the
sons of Edward " were murdered, at
the instieatiou of Richard III; Beau
champ Tower is also seen and remem-
bered as the place where Anne Boleyn
and the unfortunate Lady Jane Grey
were detained the Bell Tower, where
the governor resides; the galleries
known as the Horse Armory and the
Jewel Room, where the Jewels valued
at $4,000, 600 are kept. The old ban
quoting halls and council chamber have
been made the storehouse for arms, and
St. Johns chapel has been translated
into an Office for the records and ar
chives. A moderate sized army is usu-
ally disposed about the various parts of
the tower. The armories have famous
collections of arms of medieval and
modern times. The tower is one of
the sights of London, and all going
there may see, on the payment of n
small fee, the different parts of the
great stronghold, in the company of a
quantity attired guide. On the walls of
the cells are yet to be seen inscriptions
made by prisoners confined like Raleigh
within the dreary place, only to be re-
leased by death. The following is one
under the date OF Sept. TO- 1911:
The most unhappy
man in the world is he
that is not patient in adj
versities. For men are not

The .Esthetic HOusekeeper.

i
She was graduate of vassar, and
when she married Julius Augustus
Smythe, was very much like another
young lady who has been embalmed in
song:
Miss Palas Andora Won Blurky
Who didn't know chicken from turkey:
High Spanish and Greek she could fueutly speak
But her knowledge Of poultry was murky.
However, she told julius Augustus
that she was good housekeeper be-
cause her mother and grandmother
were, and it ran in the family. So, on
the strength of this, he went to house
keeping. She bought a sweet little
morocco-covered notebook and an en-
broidered market basket, and carried a
gold pencil, wore an aesthetic morning
costume, and appeared like vision
OF delight before the magnates of the
cleaver at the Central market.
"Oh, the dear, sweet, cunning little
pigs she exclaimed, stopping at an
aldermanic stand where several little
roasters were on exhibition. 'I'll take
a couple of those; how much are they
a pair?"
Give dollars for two," was the real
istic answer.
isn't that rather high? | guess III
take yard of beefsteak and a pound
of chewing gum instead, and some
oh, yes!-some sweet breads. Julius
slid he wanted some; nice fresh ones,
please, with plenty of raisins in them. y
Then she sailed over to the poultry
stall.
'Have you any chickens? ?" she
asked of the woman who was in at
tendance
Heaps of EN-, F" was the reply.
How much do they cost heap 2"
she asked in very faint voice.
" Halfa dollar apiece, men,"
well send up piece to my resi-
dcnce." And she turned to the next
stall and picked up some packages
that looked very nice.
what is that sweet stuff hat smells
80 lovely?" she asked of red-headed
boy that stood behind the table.
"Limburger, Miss, and it's just splen-
did; tastes ever so much better than it
one?"
She took one, and then she asked the
boy where they sold their quail on
toast
"Ain't any in the market" answered
the young reprobate. Mothers gone
after load, though, and we'll send you
some as soon as they are in"
"What are those lovely navy-blue
berries?' she inquired. "They will just
match my china. You may send me
a bushel."
Finally he decided to try quart,
which she carried herself in the artistic
basket.
"Have you any hen fruil?" she asked
sweetly of an old fellow in a white
apron.
He scratched his ear with pencil
for moment: "Mebbe you mean
h eggs," he volunteered
These she also took charge of, as she
wanted to make an omelet for Julius
Augustus.
But she never did, or, rather, when
she got home the omelet was made
with liberal admixture of bluebcr-
ries and the front of her aesthetic dress
was ruined. Added to this was an
odor that sent Julius into spasms and
frightened the cat to death--the linn
burger had melted.
The Vassar girl did justice to high
Spanish and Greek in the explanation
that ensued, and the next day they
burned the morocco notebook and
went to boarding. -DaroH Post.
