Won MoltIse's Linguistic requirements.

London Letter.
'My Won Moltke is silent in seven languages, "
says Kaiser Wilhelm; and he does not exaggerate
the rare linguistic accomplishments of the field
marshal, who, in gathering of representatives
of all the great nations of Europe can address
every man in his own tongue just as readily as
he can converse in his own household at Kreisau.
Despite his taciturnity, which has become prov
erbial throughout the empire, Won Moltlke can
on occasions show himself to be copius and de-
ightful conversationalist, but such occasions are
few, and he usually keeps both words
and emotions carefully locked up with
in himself. The very day before his
departure for the seat Of war in 1870, a diplomat
met him on the Wilhemstrasse of Berlin and
addressed him apologetically, fearing to intrude
upon his busy thoughts and preparations, but
''Oh" said the General. 81 have nothing to do !"
And another who called upon him at Versailles
during the siege, on the day when a great sortie
was expected, found him quietly reading an En-
gish novel; Yet the unconcened silent com
mander" has in his Office detailed map of every
country and city and important town in Europe
with plans of invasion and occupation carefully
marked down, and minute statements of the ac
commodation the invaders would find in the way

Debate in the French Chambers on the Gov
ernments Economical Policy.
PARIS, Jan. 31.-The debate on Langlois' in
terpellation concerning the governments eco
nomical policy and questions affecting the inter
ests Of labor, was resumed in the Chamber of
Deputies to-day. NJ Ferry continuing his ar
gu1nent, said it did not appertain to the govern
ment to find the solution of the labor problem
but rather to private persons The government
should suppress the inequalities weighing upon
workingmen and leave them free to discuss the
question of wages, hold meetings and appoint
syndicates of every form. A portion of this pro-
gramme of social foresight had been applied and
would be continued without weakness or fuss
by the Deputies who were not challatans to gain
popularity. Ferry speech was received with
cheers.
Clemenceau, replying to Ferry, said crushing
taxes and high rents caused the sufferings of the
workingmen The remedy was an alliance be
tween the wor1ngmen of all countries for re-
duction in freight rates and the development of
public instruction and liberty. Clemeneeau
deprecated financial feudalism and
maintained that the state ought
to protect the worllingmen. He said
the social question would be one of the issues
raised at the next election. He would like to
see the expenditures diminished and the taxes
ON articles of consumption replaced by an in
come tax. The time for words had now passed,
the hour for action had arrived. Reforms could
be effected only by agreement between all Re
publican parties. Further discussion of the sub
ject was postponed until Saturday.

How Watch Cases are Made.

The many great improvements intro
duced in the manufacture of the Jas: Boss
Cold Watch Case, have led to similar inn
provcmcnts in the making of silver cases.
Under the old methods, each part Of
silver case was made of several pieces of
metal soldered together, requiring great
amount of cutting and soldering, which
softened the metal and gave it the pliability
Of lead rather than the elasticity of silver.
Under the improved methods, each part
Of the Keystone Silver Watch Case is made
Of one solid piece Of metal hammered into
shape. The advantages are readily appar-
ent, for every one knows that hammering
hardens the metal while soldering softensit.
To test the superiority Of the keystone
Silver Watch Case take one of 3 OF. weight,
press it squarely in the center when closed,
and it will not give, while : case Of same
weight of any other make will give enough
tobreak the crystal. The Keystone Silver
Watch Case is made only with silver cap
and gold joints.
