Germany and England.

The late visit OF the Emperor OF Ger
many to England has suggested arti-
cles in the official aud semi-official
journals of the German Empire as to
what n good thing an alliance offensive
and defensive would be between these
two great natious. They say England
is invincible on the sen and Germany
is invincible on the land. Combine the
two and they would make perfect
whole. Though they could not conquer
the world, they could utterly destroy
any nation which might make on at
tack upon them. This is the general
outline OF the views of the German
politicians and German statesmen.
The English people do not covet this
alliance, because they really do not
need it. Germany needs 1t the most,
because she fears q coalition OF France
and Russia against herself, and Bis
marck is preparing to make everything
as strong as he can whenever he has
the opportunity. Salisbury may in
cline to this alliance, but Gladstone and
his friends are utterly against it, as
they think the less England complexities
herself with continental ties the better
for their country and their V,ople.
But history at times repeats itself;
and as France alone ut one time was
able to meet successfully the vast naval
power OF England and the force of the
Germanic and Austrian armies, so she
might do again IL she were attacked
and invaded without cause and her
whole population were aroused as in
1892
OF course such an event requires O.
mighty military leader. and people
think with reason that France can pro-
duce but one Napoleon. Military COM
manders OF the present day in all coun-
tries seem commonplace; and perhaps
this Is well for the peace OF the world,
as the great military monarchies. on
account OF this dearth of genius, hest
tate to provoke the uncertainties of
war
The question is now being moro or
less discussed in Europe. whether
great standing armies tend TO promote
peace. Some think they are menace
to tranquility. while others hold that
they are potential conservators OF in
terBational peace. The question now
stands, IA it does among boys who are
inclined to have fight-''the one is
afraid and the other darsn't"

ments must stop, as the taxes for the

Where Chocolate Comes From.

Chocolate, according TO the New
York Sun, is made from the seeds of
the Theobroma Cocoa tree which is
found only in tropical climates, and
bears fruit somewhat like q cucum-
Der in shape, inside which are the
brownish seeds or beans, which form
the cocoa beans of commerce. The
principal constituent OF these beans is
soft solid oil called cocoa butter,
and their attractive principle is theo-
bromine, analogous to the caffeine in
coffee. There is but very little pure
chocolate in the market, owing to the
great medical value OF the cocoa butter
or oil, which is expressed in the grind
ing, and cheaper, less nutritious oil
supplied. One of the best ways to buy
cocoa or chocolate, 1t is said, is to pur-
chase what are called cocoa nibs,"
which are the beans crushed in frag-
ments, but not ground, for the ground
chocolate is frequently adulterated
with roasted hazel nuts or almonds,
ricemeal, oatmeal and other ingredi-
ents.

first burying the fruit until the pulp is
decayed and only the beans are left
The beans are roasted and the shells
removed. The chocolate is then ground
between stones, the friction heat of the
grinding melting it so that it is a soft
molten mass as it drips from the stones
and is poured into moulds. The melted
chocolate is pressed in cloth until all
the oil is expelled; the sediment is,
ground very slowly to prevent remelt-
ing it, and the powder bolted like flour

called cocoa, which makes lighter,
less nourishing, but more easily digest.
ed beverage than chocolate.
In buying cocoa it is not advisable to-
select any Of the sweetened prepare
rations; because, as they are sold by
weight, the more sugar contained the
less cocoa in the mixture and as sugar
is the cheapest ingredient, and can be
added afterward equally as we'll, it in
creases the cost of the drink to pay
the same price for sugar. A peculiar
and very delicious chocolate is i'm
ported from the West Indies, which
comes in round bars and is so hard it
is difficult to CRATE it. This is said to,
be prepared entirely by hand by the
natives, is ground in motars. and not
melted. 1t seems to contain less oil
than that found in market, and is more
digestible and nourishing.

curate perception OF angles, (4) grace
of movement To these should be add
ed that element OF success in all under
takings, persistence. Without all these
a boy hal better take to some other
game or susiness, for he can never de-
vclop into anything better than very
moderate ylayer. Anyone may learn
the game so thoroughly that he can ap-
preciate the finest play, and even see
how n shot must be made; but it Is quite
different thing to take u cue in hand
and execute the shot A mathemati-
clan might tell an expert player vol
ume of facts about the angles OF play,
the direction ball will take after hit
ting a cushion at given angle, the
amount and kind OF force required TO
send ball from a given point to an
other and make given carom success
fully; but il Is Thousand 70 one that
the expert would execute aii the shots
discussed While the scientist would fail
on simple carom-
Suppose, however, that young man
has all the natural qualifications for
playing, then he must without fail keep
his hand in after once beginning. A
good eye and a steady hand must be
trained, and an accurate idea of angles
must be developed until 1T becomes
second nature TO select at once the right
spot on a cushion ut what a ball must
strike after carom. Grace OF motion
is all important because no man can
play accurately who plays awkwardly-
The arm must swing freely and natural
ly. 1t never does 10 grasp the cue in
such style that you Are conscious OF
the least tension OF the muscles.
Amateurs who play pretty steadily
for several years without apparent i'm
provement are probably ignorant OF
many details in the game. They may
not realize just how certain oft recurring
positions may be best utilized. In such
cases great improvement may be
effected by taking few lessons from n
professional. A professional. it should
be understood, is not one who merrily
plays the game for stakes, but who
makes his living out OF the game.
That is, one who deHotes his
entire attention to 1t. There
are no first-class amateurs in
America. Mr. Orville Oddie OF
Brooklyn, the amateur champion, is
the nearest approach to it. This may
seem a startling statement to the many
who play every day, and who. have
among their personal friends men who
run more than 100 in rail play, but
professionals generally will admit that
it is true. The reason probably lies in
the fact that few Americans devote
enough OF persistent attention to the
game, bat it is also n fact that Ameri-
cans are naturally the best players in
the world, with Frenchmen second.
Yet the French have many first-class
amateurs. The difference lies in the
fact that while Americans learn more
quickly, the French devote themselves
more assiduously to practice.

To those who would play good
billiards. would say avoid pool The
nature of the stroke in the two is 80
different that no one can cultivate both
kinds at once to the advantage OF
either game. In pool the stab stroke
is most employed, while in billiards
there must be long, swinging, grace
full motion
The question of comparison be-
tween billiards and chess has been
suggested to me. l think no one will
accuse me Of undertaking chess when l
say that billiards is the superior game.
Strategic play is the controlling prin-
cipal OF chess, and it exercises a
mans mind to the utmost; but every
good billiard player knows that
strategy also enters to large degree
in his game, when he seeks TO play in
such way that IL he fails to score, the
balls will lie SO that his opponent will
have the greatest possible difficulty
in making shot. No game of bill
lizards was ever played without the
most concentrated attention on the
part OF the player at every shot 1t
will be noted that in billiards there are
more shots in game than moves in
chess; and in addition to all the men
tai work employed. there is the neces-
sity of perfect physical executi on. The
question doubtless comes down to the
individual tastes OF men, but it seems
to me that candid consideration OF
all the elements that make up the
games would place billiards at the
head.

European Money Markets.

In modern times money has become
the motor Of all industrial enterprise.
When the great moneyed centers OF
Europe and America are abundantly
supplied with loanable funds business
may be dull, but 1t does not languish.
At the present time there is an unusual
plethora of capital in Europe, and es-
pecially in England. The certainty
that peace is assure d, at least for the
current year, prevents the possibility
Of large government loans. These
loans for warlilSe purposes in years past
have absorbed no small portion OF the
natural accumulation of capital. Now
capitalists have to look for other out
lets for their incomes. This necessi-

large investments in existing forms OF
business.
