of the age seems TO have finally pre-

It is an odd fact that Africa, at the

all the other waste places of the earth
had been taken. The French have re-

the English conquered and improved the
Cape of Good Hope region, and within
few years two new sovereignties have
been created in the dark continent.

In the hall kitchen were two cooks and

sides one yeoman and two grooms. There
were yeoman and a groom in the larder;

In America there has been reorganiZa-
ton from the Arctic ocean to Patagonia,
and for the most part improvement. 1t
is easy to see that when the Canadian
confederation was formed $3.50 states
men were powerfully impressed by the
American civil war. The constitution
of the United States declares that
all powers not granted to the federal
government are reserved to the states;
practically the reverse is the rule in Can
ada. The Ottawa government has
plenary legislative powers, those Of the
provinces are limited, and in many lines
the confederation may "disallow" the
act of a province. 1t seems ironical to
call such a government confederation.
To Sir John Alexander Macdonald, re-
Gently deceased, more than any other
man, belongs the honor Of organizing
Canada.
In Mexico, though many will doubt
it, an equally valuable work has been
done. Constitutional government pro-
ceeds there with almost as much regu-
larity as elsewhere, and a generation has
grown up with no experience of serious
revolution. In Brazil revolution has
been effected with SO little trouble that
it rather deserves the title OF a constitu-
tional change; but the new government
has been confronted at the outset with
the most serious of all trials-panic and
financial epression-and it is too soon to
decide as to its success. II the Argen-
tiRe Republic there is bankruptcy, but

After few moments of suspense the
young girl reached the tower safely. Then
it was Bertha's turn, but she had to be
urged and scolded and threatened by turns,
until Meg lost patience. 'You are vast
ing precious time-and perhaps lives" she
said solemnly, as there was another CULVER
ing of the house under them.
Meg, go yourself. Don't wait for her"
cried Peggy, beside herself with fear.
But Meg seized Bertha by the arm and
forced her out on the ladder, and she. too,
managed to make the passage safely.
"Now, Peggy, it's your turn"
The young girl drew back. 'Not before
you" but the sound of Meg's resolute
voice silenced her Grasping the sides Of
the ladder, she worked her way cautiously
over, but as her feet touched the window
ledge she felt a sudden dipping of the frail
bridge, and house, ladder and Meg sank
out of sight in an instant, and the only an
swer to her despairing cry, 'Megl Oh,
Meg" was the mad rush of the cruel

Then, by what the ancient tragic poets
would have called ''divine Madness"
Louis Napoleon came to Prussia's aid.
All the states north and south, except
Austria, acted together against France,
and the opposition to union died out.
November Is, 1870, the first general con-
vention was agreed to; the minor states
fell in rapidly, and on the 18th of Janu-
airy, 1871, Emperor William was formal
ly proclaimed at Versailles. May 4, 1871,
the new constitution went into effect,
and united Germany took her place
among the great powers Of the earth.
The progress of Italy was far more
erratic. At the general settlement, after
Napoleon's downfall, there were really
but nine distinct governments in Italy,
and out Of these the kingdom of Sardinia
and the Two Siciles soon took the lead.
By fomenting revolutions in the other
states, by using Garibaldi or repudiating
him as best served their purposes and by
singularly shrewd maneuvering between
France, Austria and Prussia the Sar-

war between their neighbors bring them

governments as in the last half of the
Nineteenth century. a map Of the
world for 1850 is now only an historical
relic-a curiosity indeed. Germany,
Italy and France, Canada, Australia and
the Transvaal, the Congo Free State,
Japan and the Balkan states, Mexico and

made, within less than forty years.
When the school children of 1850 and
thereabouts took up the map of Europe
they were told that it was unnecessary
to memorize the names of the German
and Italian states; it was not pretended
that any American could understand the
political organization of Germany with
out years of study, nor was it worth
while for any except diplomats. When
the Napoleonic wars ceased there were
really over 800 sovereignties in Germany,
ranging from badly conglomerated EN-
pire down through kingdoms, grand
duchies, duchies, principalities, lordships,
celebrates and four free cities, to few
little independencies about as big as an
American township and rejoicing in such
sounding titles as Augustenburg and
